Crisis governance, legitimacy, and consumer ethics in service systems

Purpose This paper aims to examine how crisis-related service restrictions shape ethical consumer responses, challenging the assumption that restrictive governance inherently promotes responsibility. It develops a dual-process model explaining how legitimacy and autonomy percepti...

Adhesive Monitoring Traps as a Mortality Risk for the Common Pipistrelle in Mediterranean Olive Agroecosystems: First Evidence from Greece and Implications for Bat Conservation

Yellow adhesive chromotropic traps are widely deployed across Mediterranean olive cultivation to monitor B. oleae population dynamics, yet their adhesive surfaces can also retain non-target organisms. Here we report the first documented entrapment of the common pipistrelle Pipist...

Future climate change favours the increase in abundance of smaller, shorter‐lived fish in the northeastern Mediterranean

Abstract As species distributions shift due to climate change, functional alterations may also occur within marine communities, potentially leading to ecosystem‐wide transformations. With Mediterranean marine ecosystems projected to undergo tropicalization, it is crucial to under...

Storm surge dynamics in the northern Adriatic Sea: comparing AI emulators with high-resolution numerical simulations

Abstract. Accurate storm surge forecasting is vital for protecting coastal regions, particularly in the northern Adriatic Sea where sea-level rise and increasingly severe storm events pose growing risks. Machine Learning (ML) approaches offer compelling speed and flexibility, yet...

Sulforaphane and Broccoli-Derived Preparations in Obesity and Obesity-Related Metabolic Dysfunction: Mechanistic Insights, Preclinical Evidence, and Clinical Perspectives

Background/Objectives: Obesity is a major global health challenge characterized by adipose tissue dysfunction, insulin resistance, chronic low-grade inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and increased cardiometabolic risk. Despite substantial therapeutic adva...

Building Climate-Resilient Mediterranean Olive Systems: Integrating Soil, Water, Carbon, Biodiversity, and Innovation for a Sustainable Future

Abstract Mediterranean olive systems face compound climatic, ecological, and socio-economic pressures. Drawing on the consensus of the International Conference on Sustainability in Olive Cultivation (ICSOC) 2025, we propose an integrated framework structured along three axes: fiv...
