Limited contribution by non‐volant small mammals to regeneration in ironstone rocky outcrops

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Animal‐mediated seed dispersal contributes substantially to natural regeneration in degraded areas. However, the role of seed dispersal by non‐volant small mammals (NVSM), mainly marsupials and rodents, in contributing to regeneration remains underexplored, especially in mountaintop, open‐canopy ecosystems.

Regulatory Context and Bureaucratic Policy Making: Illustrations From Payment System Regulation in Brazil

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how bureaucratic strategies for structuring the policy environment shape regulatory outcomes, focusing on the extent to which agencies achieve their original policy preferences. Drawing on resource dependence theory and bureaucratic politics, we conceptualize the policy environment in two dimensions: internal ...

Efficient Kilometer‐Scale Precipitation Downscaling With Conditional Wavelet Diffusion

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Precipitation products such as Integrated Multi‐satellitE Retrievals have coarse resolution (∼10 ${\sim} 10$ km), which limits their application in hydrological modeling and extreme weather analysis. We propose the Wavelet Diffusion Model (WDM), a fast generative framework for high‐quality precipitation downscaling trained on multi‐radar multi‐

Agents' Behavior and Interest Rate Model Optimization in DeFi Lending

Mathematical Finance, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 374-396, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Contrasting sharply with traditional money, bond, and bond futures markets, where interest rates emerge organically from participant interactions, DeFi lending platforms employ rule‐based interest rates that are algorithmically set. Thus, the selection of an effective interest rate model (IRM) is paramount for the success of a lending protocol.

Mechanochemical Enhancement of Siderite‐To‐Magnetite Conversion in Faults

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Magnetic phases in fault rocks offer potential “geothermometers” for estimating frictional heating during fault slip. However, the thermochemical kinetics of magnetic minerals subjected to shear deformation in hydrothermal fluids‐conditions typical of natural faults ‐ remains poorly understood, hindering accurate temperature estimates.

A Curie Point Depth Model of the Conterminous United States Derived From a Prior‐Constrained Equivalent Source Inversion

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract The Curie Point Depth (CPD) is a key thermal boundary in the deep lithosphere and is widely used to constrain its thermal structure. However, uncertainties in magnetization and the non‐uniqueness of inversion lead to considerable inter‐study differences.

CNN‐Based Retrieval of 3D Cloud Structures Solely From Geostationary Satellite Imagery

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract The cloud vertical structure (CVS) is important, yet operational CVS products depend on active observation or reanalysis fields, limiting high‐frequency monitoring. In this study, we propose a lightweight and satellite‐only model that reconstructs volumetric cloud masks from geostationary multispectral imagery.

When Error Propagation Fails: A Mini‐Tutorial on Geometric Brownian Motion Simulation

Advanced Theory and Simulations, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
Linear error propagation fails in multiplicative stochastic processes governed by geometric Brownian motion, severely underestimating variance and tail risk. This mini‐tutorial derives the exact log‐normal solution, implements Euler–Maruyama simulation, and introduces a quantitative diagnostic for when simulation is essential.
