Ecological Risk Assessment of the Adriatic Coastline: An Environmental Sensitivity Index Developed Through Expert Surveys and the Entropy Weight Method

open access: yesCLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 53, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT In this article, we develop a customized environmental sensitivity index (ESI) for the sensitivity of the Adriatic coast to oil spills. Our approach integrates the perceptions of local experts, scientists, and citizens with the objective entropy weight method to produce an ESI tailored to the specific characteristics of the region.

The “Chameleon Ant” Colobopsis imitans Adapts Its Mimetic Appearance to Local Model Species Across the Mediterranean Basin (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
We collected morphometric data from Colobopsis samples across the Mediterranean Basin and the Caucasus, documented color patterns of these mimics and their local models, and performed unsupervised multivariate analyses. Morphometric data suggest a scenario where mimicry‐driven microevolutionary adaptations can produce significant phenotypic diversity ...

On the natural border: A bio‐geo‐political reading

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 50, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract This article engages in a critical analysis of the concept of the natural border. It highlights its inherently biopolitical nature by exploring how it intersects with biology, history and geography. In the last decades, critical border studies have deeply questioned the naturality of borders.
