The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Will the Mediterranean Sea Be a Cul‐de‐Sac for Marine Gastropods Under Climate Change?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Marine benthic gastropods remain understudied despite extensive historical records, limiting our understanding of their vulnerability to climate change. Using multi‐temporal species distribution models, we show that intermediate future climate conditions may trigger major habitat contractions for four key cowrie and frog‐shell species in the NE ...

Ethnic Conflicts, Civil War, and Economic Growth: Region‐Level Evidence From Former Yugoslavia

open access: yesJournal of Regional Science, Volume 66, Issue 3, Page 950-977, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper studies the long‐term effects of the Yugoslav civil war (1987–1995) on subnational economic growth across 78 regions in five former Yugoslav republics from 1950 to 2015. We construct counterfactual growth trajectories using a robust region‐level donor pool from 32 conflict‐free countries.

A New Population of the Small European Locust Lobster (Scyllarus arctus) on Artificial Reefs (Central Adriatic Sea)

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Lobsters, including the Small European locust lobster Scyllarus arctus, are distributed throughout the Mediterranean Sea, inhabiting rocky bottoms, muddy substrates and seagrass meadows. Despite increasing scientific interest, S. arctus remains understudied, and available information on its distribution is largely limited to grey literature ...

Type of Carbonate Production, Sedimentary and Tectonic Evolution of the Pliocene Mixed Carbonate Siliciclastic Unit (Macco) in the Tarquinia Basin, Central Italy

open access: yesBasin Research, Volume 38, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Piacenzian mixed carbonate‐siliciclastic succession (‘Macco’ unit) deposited on the passive margin of the Tyrrhenian back‐arc basin. Sedimentation was controlled by syn‐sedimentary tectonics, with NW–SE first‐order faults (3–4 km) creating accommodation space and NE–SW second‐order faults (~0.5 km) influencing facies distribution and growth structures.

Primary Productivity and Habitat Depth Shape Developmental Mode in European Marine Gastropods

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Thorson's rule suggests that marine gastropods in colder, high‐latitude regions tend to have non‐pelagic (non‐drifting) larval development. However, this study on 94 European gastropod species found that the rule disappears when examined at finer spatial scales, with temperature and phylogeny having little influence.

New Zealand Geological Timescale 2025

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
New Zealand Geological Timescale 2025 (NZGT 2025) is the first comprehensive update and revision of the New Zealand Geological Timescale in a decade. The criteria used to establish age ranges of New Zealand Stages within the NZGT have been reviewed, calibrated, and revised where required against the 2023/04 International Chronostratigraphic Chart and ...

The Venetian Vernacular Lexicon in Eleventh‐ and Twelfth‐Century Latin Documents: Insights from the Codice Diplomatico Veneziano

open access: yesTransactions of the Philological Society, Volume 124, Issue 1, Page 168-199, March 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the lexicographical potential of Medieval Latin documentation from the Venetian area of the Italo‐Romance domain, highlighting the need for a systematic approach to bridge Latin and vernacular linguistic developments. The project MEDITA – Medieval Latin Documentation and Digital Italo‐Romance Lexicography.

Macroid Formation in Salmacina stellaebayensis n. sp. From Mauritania's Baie de l'Étoile With New Insights on Mitogenome Evolution in Serpulidae (Annelida)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We describe Salmacina stellaebayensis n. sp. from Mauritania's Baie de l'Étoile and provide the first complete mitochondrial genome for the genus Salmacina. The species forms distinctive macroid colonies in Cymodocea nodosa seagrass meadows, offering new insights into serpulid life history and habitat specialization.

From Quarries to Urban Construction Sites: Middle‐Late Mesozoic Limestones in the Public Architecture of Roman Verona, Italy

open access: yesGeoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Numerous buildings, monuments, and infrastructural works in Verona were constructed during the Roman period using stone, a material abundantly available from quarrying areas located relatively close to the city. Petrographic investigations conducted by Transmitted Polarized Light Optical Microscopy (TPL‐OM) and complemented by colorimetric ...
