Future Climate Change and Bioclimatic Suitability of Two Endemic Balkan Water Frogs

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate the impacts of future climate change on the bioclimatic suitability of two endemic water frogs of the southwestern Balkans, focusing on species‐ and lineage‐level responses and implications for conservation. Location Southwestern Balkans, including Albania, Greece and Montenegro.

Functional Diversity of Iberian Waterbird Communities From Natural Lakes and Man‐Made Reservoirs Shows Divergent Temporal Dynamics

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Artificial waterbodies are widely recognized as vital habitats for waterfowl conservation, particularly in the Mediterranean region, where natural lentic ecosystems have suffered extensive loss and degradation. Man‐made reservoirs represent the widespread and relatively deep artificial bodies of water and are often assumed to harbour poor

Contemporary Environmental Drivers of European Plant Distributions

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Understanding the contemporary environmental conditions determining plant species distributions is crucial. Here, we quantified the relative importance of climatic, edaphic, hydrological, topographic, and land use drivers of the European vascular flora and tested whether driver hierarchies vary across species groups and ecological ...

Hermit beetle (Osmoderma barnabita) habitat selection and movement are shaped by tree microhabitat availability in Eastern Romanian Carpathians

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 1015-1030, September 2026.
We conducted the first radio‐tracking study on Osmoderma barnabita to examine the movement ecology and habitat selection in the Eastern Carpathians. A female recorded the longest movement distance and had larger home ranges than males. It showed a preference for Quercus petraea, with wood mould cavities and DBH as key predictors.

Predicting habitat suitability of selected Meloidae species and future potential refugia: A case study from inner Western Anatolia

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 1185-1202, September 2026.
Consensus habitat‐suitability maps identify current hotspots of species richness across the Inner Western Anatolian mountain systems. Late‐century projections (2081–2100) under SSP2‐4.5 and SSP5‐8.5 show range shifts and changing richness patterns, intensifying at higher elevations.

Youth Perceptions of Europe in the Western Balkans: Key Regional Patterns and Implications

The central finding of this regional analysis is that young people in the Western Balkans maintain a strong normative identification with Europe, yet this attachment coexists with frustration, ambivalence, and structural constraints that limit their ...
