Phylogeography and Contact Zones of the Common Grass Snake in Poland (Squamata: Natricidae: Natrix natrix)

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 209-219, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Until now, the genetic identity of common grass snakes (Natrix natrix) in Poland remained poorly understood. This study presents the first comprehensive phylogeographic analysis for Poland using mitochondrial DNA sequences (cyt b and ND4 + tRNAs) and 13 nuclear microsatellite loci.

Real Exchange Rates in Small Open OECD and Transition Economies: Comparing Apples with Oranges? [PDF]

We find that productivity gains in tradables cause an appreciation of the real exchange rate via both tradable and nontradable prices in the CEE-5 and have no affect in the Baltic countries, while they lead to a depreciation of the real exchange rate of ...

Age‐Specific Survival Estimation of a Eurasian Crane Population Highlights a Long‐Term Decline in Juvenile Survival

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
The Eurasian crane (Grus grus), a symbol of conservation success in Europe, has made an impressive recovery. However, our results show that over the study period, juvenile survival declined by almost 30% overall, while sub‐adults experienced a smaller decrease, and adults showed no change.

Beach wrack as a potential microplastic hot spot in the South-Eastern Baltic Sea environment

Marine Pollution Bulletin
Beach wrack is considered as a major source of nutrients to the sandy coast ecosystems in the South-East Baltic Sea, and it serves as the natural beach sediment storage and habitat formation material. However, it also could be a hot spot for microplastic and other types of marine litter accumulation.

A graduated nativeness definition for overcoming dilemmas and difficulties of vascular plant species

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
Nativeness is a concept central to biodiversity conservation and invasion biology, but there are several problems related to a classic binary nativeness definition. Dilemmas arise from the dynamic nature of species' distribution ranges on longer time scales, and difficulties arise in the application to smaller regions defined by arbitrary borders, and ...

The Asymmetric Hydrodynamic Structure of a Wind‐Dominated River Plume

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the velocity and salinity structure of the large surface‐attached, low‐latitude, and microtidal plume of the Magdalena River (southern Caribbean Sea) during a period of high freshwater discharge and variable wind conditions. The plume was analyzed through observations at multiple transects along, across, and diagonal to

Palaeoecological Conditions in the South-Eastern and Western Baltic Sea during the Last Millennium

Quaternary
We present the reconstruction of palaeoenvironmental conditions in the Gdansk, Bornholm, and Arkona Basins of the Baltic Sea over the last millennium. A multiproxy study (including geochemical, XRF, grain size, AMS, and micropalaeontological analyses) of five short sediment cores was performed.
