Proclamation of the All-Russian Empire – the Beginning of the Way to the Great Power Status by V. A. Artamonov

“…In 1719, the Russian military force was squeezed out of Central Europe – from Mecklenburg. The sphere of influence of Russia after the victorious Peace of Nystad in 1721 was established only in Northern and Eastern Europe – in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Swedish and Danish-Norwegian kingdom, partly in Prussia. …”

A Court’s Right to Moderate Administrative Penalty in Selected Central European Countries by Nikolaj Zakrenicnyj

“…The paper illuminates the varying degrees of court intervention in moderating administrative penalties across different legal contexts and makes a substantial academic contribution by shedding light on a relatively understudied aspect of administrative law within Central Europe. It provides valuable insights into how different legal systems address the delicate balance between executive power and judicial oversight, particularly in matters of administrative penalties. …”

Strong volcanic-induced climatic shocks on historical Moselle wine production by F. C. Ljungqvist, F. C. Ljungqvist, F. C. Ljungqvist, B. Christiansen, L. Schneider, L. Schneider, P. Thejll

“…However, the detected volcanic signature in the Moselle Valley wine production is considerably stronger than the one found for central Europe in tree-ring-based reconstructions and is instead more akin to the strong volcanic signature present in Fennoscandian tree-ring series. …”

Combined effects of topography, soil moisture, and snow cover regimes on growth responses of grasslands in a low- mountain range (Vosges, France) by P.-A. Herrault, A. Ullmann, D. Ertlen

“…<p>Growth responses of low-mountain grasslands to climate warming are poorly understood despite very large surfaces being covered in central Europe. These grasslands are characterized by still-present agricultural exploitation and complex topographical features that limit species migration and increase differences in snow regimes. …”

Multi‐Model Assessment of Groundwater Recharge Across Europe Under Warming Climate by Rohini Kumar, Luis Samaniego, Stephan Thober, Oldrich Rakovec, Andreas Marx, Niko Wanders, Ming Pan, Falk Hesse, Sabine Attinger

“…Results reveal a north‐south polarization in projected groundwater recharge change: declines over 25%–50% in the Mediterranean and increases over 25% in North Scandinavia at high warming levels (2.0–3.0 K). Central Europe shows minimal changes (±5%) with larger uncertainty at lower warming levels. …”

Combining Individual‐Based Radio‐Tracking With Whole‐Genome Sequencing Data Reveals Candidate for Genetic Basis of Partial Migration in a Songbird by Matthias H. Weissensteiner, Kira Delmore, Valentina Peona, Juan Sebastian Lugo Ramos, Gregoire Arnaud, Julio Blas, Bruno Faivre, Ivan Pokrovsky, Martin Wikelski, Jesko Partecke, Miriam Liedvogel

“…Here we investigated the genomic architecture of partial migration in the common blackbird, a songbird that comprises resident populations in the southern distribution range, partial migratory populations in central Europe, and exclusively migratory populations in northern and eastern Europe. …”

Rehabilitation and release of orphaned Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in Europe: Implications for management and conservation. by Anja Molinari-Jobin, Fridolin Zimmermann, Stéphanie Borel, Luc Le Grand, Elena Iannino, Ole Anders, Elisa Belotti, Ludek Bufka, Duško Ćirović, Nolwenn Drouet-Hoguet, Thomas Engleder, Michał Figura, Christian Fuxjäger, Eva Gregorova, Marco Heurich, Sylvia Idelberger, Jakub Kubala, Josip Kusak, Dime Melovski, Tomma Lilli Middelhoff, Tereza Mináriková, Paolo Molinari, Lorane Mouzon-Moyne, Gilles Moyne, Robert W Mysłajek, Sabina Nowak, Janis Ozolins, Andreas Ryser, Bardh Sanaja, Maryna Shkvyria, Teodora Sin, Magda Sindičić, Vedran Slijepčević, Christian Stauffer, Branislav Tám, Aleksander Trajce, Josefa Volfová, Sybille Wölfl, Diana Zlatanova, Kristina Vogt

“…The lynx is a perfect model species as most reintroduced populations in Central Europe show significantly lower observed heterozygosity than most of the autochthonous populations, indicating that reintroduction bottlenecks, isolation and post-release management have long-term consequences on the genetic composition of populations. …”

Accounting for observation biases associated with counts of young when estimating fecundity: case study on the arboreal-nesting red kite (Milvus milvus) by Sollmann, Rahel, Adenot, Nathalie, Spakovszky, Peter, Windt, Jendrik, Mattsson, Brady J.

“…We use a simulation study to investigate bias and precision of the model and parameterize the simulation with empirical data from 26 red kite nests visited with ground and nest-based counts during 2021 and 2022 in central Europe. In these data, bias in counts was at most 1 in either direction, more common in larger broods, and undercounting was more common than overcounting. …”
