Genomic Insights Into Diversity, Phylogeny, Hybridization and Evolutionary History of Palearctic Fish Genus Rutilus (Leuciscidae)

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Using a widely distributed and frequently hybridising fish (genus Rutilus) in the Palearctic as a model system, we re‐evaluated a series of hypotheses on phylogeny, taxonomy, phylogeography and the role of hybridization in evolutionary history based on the first large‐scale analyses of nuclear SNPs together with mtDNA data obtained from ...

Modelling migratory waterfowl stopover habitat while accounting for ephemeral environmental conditions

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 11, Page 2941-2953, November 2025.
We demonstrated the potential of phenological synchronization to estimate fine‐scale ephemeral environmental conditions crucial for migratory species. Modelled habitats revealed key stopover sites in both natural and agricultural landscapes. The maps showed gaps in the protected area network of Eurasian grasslands, especially in agriculture.

A System Reanalysis of the Current Greenhouse Gases Budget of Terrestrial Ecosystems in Russia

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 39, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract This study synthesizes the budgets of three greenhouse gases (GHG, namely CO2, CH4, N2O) for Russia over two decades (2000–2009 and 2010–2019) using bottom‐up and top‐down approaches, as part of the Regional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes, Phase 2 (RECCAP2).

Annual Vegetation of Saline Seasonal Wetlands (Crypsietea aculeatae) in Europe

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 28, Issue 4, October/December 2025.
The first continent‐wide classification of the Crypsietea aculeatae vegetation is presented, defining one phytosociological alliance and four associations. Vegetation variability is mainly driven by climate parameters and soil properties (salinity, soil moisture, soil acidity, nutrient availability).
