Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

Re-introduction and present status of the lynx (<em>Lynx Lynx</em>) in Switzerland
<strong>Abstract</strong> A lynx recovery programme started in Switzerland in 1970. From 1970-76, at least 14 lynx were translocated from the Carpathian Mountains into the Swiss Alps. Another re-introduction took place in the Jura Mountains,

ABSTRACT Glaciokarst landscapes pose distinctive challenges for cosmogenic dating because meltwater and runoff can be rapidly rerouted into ponors and conduit networks, weakening glacier–river coupling and promoting local sediment storage. We reconstruct glacier retreat and postglacial stabilization on the Snežnik Plateau (SW Slovenia) using in situ ...

Glacial refugia and speciation in a group of wind-pollinated and -dispersed, endemic Alpine species of Helictotrichon (Poaceae). [PDF]
In the Alps phylogeographic studies indicate for small insect-pollinated herbs that climatic fluctuations caused significant population migrations and fragmentations into glacial refugia at the periphery of the Alps.

Lectotypifications and taxonomic changes in the holoparasitic Orobanchaceae
Based on further extensive studies of specimens in various herbaria, lectotypes are designated for many taxa of holoparasitic Orobanchaceae. In particular, 47 names in the genera Boschniakia (incl. Xylanche), Cistanche, Orobanche, Phelipanche and Phelypaea are lectotypified.

Burial diagenesis, organic maturation and tectonic loading in the French subalpine chains, S.E. France [PDF]
The French Subalpine Chains of southeastern France lie on the western edge of the Western Alps. The area is the foreland fold/thrust belt to the main orogenic hinterland to the east.

Rhagidiidae mites of the Western Italian Alps
In the pre-alpine areas of the Mediterranean basin fragmented underground environments have differentiated, probably almost unchanged since the Miocene (over 5 million years ago). These environments enabled long periods of colonization and geographical isolation for organisms, allowing the Rhagidiidae mites an evolutionary process of millions of years.
