BioInvasions Records, 2020 We present the first record of the invasive ant Linepithema humile (Mayr, 1868) in the Tuscan Archipelago. Due to its importance as a conservation area in the Mediterranean basin, the archipelago is now protected as a national park (Parco Nazionale dell ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract The Neogene mineralized region of the Colline Metallifere in southern Tuscany (Italy) provides a natural laboratory to investigate feedback between fluid–rock interaction, structurally controlled fluid flow, and hydrothermal ore mineralization.

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 7, July 2026.Long‐term piezometric analysis of 18 monitoring wells in Menorca (1984–2020) reveals that 14 wells show declining groundwater trends despite neutral or positive climatic water balance signals. Multi‐scale SPEI–SGI correlation analysis confirms widespread climate–groundwater decoupling, driven by sustained over‐abstraction rather than reduced recharge ...

, 2016 The island of Elba (Tuscan Archipelago, Italy) Natura 2000 habitat map (1:25,000) and the CORINE Biotopes habitat map (1:25,000) were derived from the phytosociological map of Elba integrated with recent studies and field knowledge of the vegetation ...

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 639-651, July 2026.ABSTRACT Hadal environments (> 6000 m ocean depths) are often viewed as isolated locations with high species endemism due to limited dispersal. However, molecular studies continue to reveal greater complexity that questions historical perceptions. Recent population genetic studies focused on scavenging amphipods have identified broadly distributed ...

eDNA signals improve local predictions of fish abundances in Mediterranean coastal ecosystems
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.This study demonstrates that integrating eDNA metabarcoding data into species distribution models can improve fish abundance predictions, especially for site‐attached and reef‐associated species. This approach provides a scalable and cost‐effective tool for monitoring, impact assessment, spatial planning and adaptive management of marine resources ...

Phylogeography of Arenaria balearica L. (Caryophyllaceae): evolutionary history of a disjunct endemic from the Western Mediterranean continental islands [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Although it has been traditionally accepted that Arenaria balearica (Caryophyllaceae) could be a relict Tertiary plant species, this has never been experimentally tested. Nor have the palaeohistorical reasons underlying the highly fragmented distribution

Discrete Isolation and Continuous Area Drive Genetic Divergence Across Mediterranean Islands
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Comparison between islands and equivalent mainland areas to dissect the effect of area, isolation and species traits in determining island genetic endemicity and genetic differentiation. Location The Western Mediterranean region. Time Period Current. Major Taxa Studied Butterflies (Lepidoptera, Papilionoidea).

Estimating wild bee population size with validated distance sampling
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 469-483, May 2026.Distance Sampling is a promising method to estimate population size but has never been validated on insects. We validated it on a honey bee population of known size. We applied Distance Sampling to three insular pollinators and found that estimates are consistent across days, match species phenology and reflect the expected influence of weather ...

Plant diversity estimates of Mediterranean islands differ among biodiversity databases
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.Large‐scale biodiversity databases encompass three main types of data for plants, namely single species point occurrences, co‐occurrences in vegetation plots, and checklists for specific areas. Evidence shows that such data types exhibit specific biases, reporting different species assemblages at local scales.
