Western Alps geological constraints on western Tethyan reconstructions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Reconstructions of the Tethyan realm have been a matter of debate for a long time. Controversies spring usually from a lack of well constrained geological data which can be interpreted in different ways, or, from a lack of constraints on the plate ...

Tectonic significance of Cenozoic exhumation and foreland basin evolution in the Western Alps [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The Alps are the archetypical collisional orogenic system on Earth and yet our understanding of processes controlling topographic growth in the Cenozoic remains incomplete.

A framework to evaluate and identify development requirements for land‐surface models at km‐scale resolution: Application to a semi‐arid and mountainous region

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This article provides a first evaluation of land‐surface models at the km‐scale resolutions at which they are used in weather and Earth‐system models. At these resolutions, the lateral transfers of water that organize landscapes play an important role in predicting evaporation correctly. Riparian processes and human water management for irrigation need

Late Eocene bryozoan faunas in the Alpine-Carpathian region - a comparison [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Twelve Priabonian (Late Eocene) bryozoan faunas of the Alps and Carpathians, collected from shallow to deep marine sediments, are compared by similarity indices.

Taxonomy and nomenclature of the polymorphic European high mountain species Androsace vitaliana (L.) Lapeyr. (Primulaceae)

open access: yesPhytoKeys, 2016
Androsace vitaliana (syn. Vitaliana primuliflora; Primulaceae) has been subject to several taxonomic treatments, whose conclusions ranged from a single species with numerous infraspecific taxa to several species usually without infraspecific taxa.

Pathways for Value Chains to Strengthen Sustainable Development in Mountain Regions: A European Cross‐Case Analysis Based on Stakeholders' Perceptions

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mountain areas are hotspots of high natural and cultural value, but they face sustainability challenges. This research offers a quantitative cross‐case analysis of 21 case studies from mountain regions across 14 European countries, examining how local stakeholders perceive the contribution of mountain value chains to sustainable development ...

Geological map of the Scalaro Valley – Sesia Zone (Italian Western Alps) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In the Sesia Zone (Italian Western Alps), slivers of continental crust characterised by an Alpine high-pressure imprint are intermingled with abundant mafic rocks and Mesozoic metasediments.

Multiple old differentiation centres around the Alps and complex range expansion patterns in a semi-aquatic insect: the phylogeny and biogeography of the Wormaldia occipitalis species complex (Trichoptera) [PDF]

open access: yesArthropod Systematics & Phylogeny
The understanding of cryptic species complexes with their often highly interesting biogeographical patterns is still a crucial aspect in evolutionary biology and related disciplines.

Quantification of steroid hormones in free‐ranging Apennine wolf Canis lupus italicus hair samples collected post‐mortem

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
After decades of dramatic reductions in their populations, Italian wolves have begun recolonizing parts of their historic range. This growth in populations can lead to potential conflicts with human activities, which remain the main cause of wolf mortality.

Subduction polarity reversal at the junction between the Western Alps and the Northern Apennines, Italy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The controversial relationship between the orogenic segments of the Western Alps and the Northern Apennines is here explored integrating recently published 3D tomographic models of subduction with new and re-interpreted geological observations from the ...
