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

ABSTRACT Hummocky terrains are characterised by various geomorphological features that typically record processes associated with the downwasting of ice sheets. Common landforms in these areas include ramparts, linear ridges, kettle holes and ice‐walled lake plains.

This study explores how typical palaeo‐data visualisations can hinder communication with conservation practitioners and other end users due to complexity, inaccessibility and unfamiliarity. Through a survey of palaeo‐researchers and presentation of two case studies, we highlight key barriers and demonstrate how collaboration with end users can improve ...

Formations quaternaires et néotectonique dans le bassin de l'Orbieu (Aude, France)
A geomorphological and sedimentological analysis makes it possible to identify the different Quaternary formations in the Orbieu valley. Then, the reconstruction of the longitudinal and transversal profiles shows the evolution of tectonic deformations ...

ABSTRACT Only one last interglacial relative sea‐level indicator point (SLIP) has been recognised for Fenland, eastern England, and the nearest penultimate interglacial SLIP is located on the north Norfolk coast. Such limited information restricts the regional input to, and hence the relevance of, global reconstructions of late Middle and Late ...

Divergent views debated over the past 20 years on the Wolstonian depositional record of Fenland and the Peterborough area have centred on whether there is evidence of a single (middle or late) glaciation or of both a middle and a late glaciation. A recent review promoted a single late Wolstonian glaciation, despite there being incontrovertible evidence

Persistence and dynamic of forest snails in the Western Carpathians over the last 40 thousand years
The glacial/interglacial cycles have shaped the landscape of temperate Europe for the past 2.5 million years, with open landscapes prevailing during the glacial and forested landscapes during the interglacial periods. However, the survival and recolonization strategies of temperate forest species during glacial phases remain poorly understood and hotly

Small-scale geologic evidence for Vistulian decline cooling periods: case studies from the Łódź Region (Central Poland) [PDF]
This study concerns small-scale features in the form of denivation structures, periglacial involutions, sharp-edged blocks, fragipan layers and frost fissures observed in various depositional environments of Central Poland. These are terrestrial evidence

ABSTRACT Preservation of urban aquatic ecosystems is of primary importance for human well‐being, biodiversity protection and the future of society. Lake–groundwater–river interactions within urban floodplains harbour intrinsic fragility, yet remain largely understudied.

In the present work, we demonstrate how drone surveys coupled with structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry can help to collect huge amounts of very detailed data even in rough terrains where logistics can affect classical field surveys.
