The birth of an earth being: ‘Rights of nature’ in Brazilian Amazonia and elsewhere Naissance d'un être de la terre : « droits de la nature » en Amazonie brésilienne et ailleurs

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 833-851, September 2026.
In June 2023, the Laje River, located in the traditional territory of the Wari’ Indigenous people in Rondônia, Brazil, was declared a legal entity, an earth being, with rights, following the co‐ordinated action of an indigenous councillor and non‐indigenous activists.

Contrastive ecoacoustic indices: Large‐scale global soundscape characterization with contrastive inference

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 9, Page 2663-2682, September 2026.
Abstract Ecoacoustics mainly aims at monitoring soundscapes by means of non‐invasive protocols. Despite the widespread adoption of machine and deep learning techniques, existing ecoacoustic models predominantly rely on supervised learning and, consequently, face two primary limitations: (1) the necessity of annotated data; and (2) the restriction to ...

Energy Allocation Explains How Protozoan Phenotypic Traits Change in Response to Temperature and Resource Supply

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
When cultures of the microorganism Tetrahymena pyriformis are transferred to environments with different temperature and resource levels, the phenotypic traits of the microorganisms—including cell size, metabolic rate, and movement speed—change.

An alternative method of concept learning [PDF]

open access: yesANZIAM Journal, 2017
We solve the problem of concept learning using a semi-tensor product method. All possible hypotheses are expressed under the framework of a semi-tensor product. An algorithm is raised to derive the version space. In some cases, the new approach improves the efficiency compared to the previous approach.

Impact of an extreme storm event on a multiple intertidal barred coastal system

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
Extreme storms do not necessarily cause extreme coastal erosion. Integrated DGPS surveys and SWAN nearshore wave modelling reveal that Storm Barra's peak coincided with a low‐tide stage, allowing multiple intertidal bars (MITBs) to dissipate incoming wave energy before it reached Dundrum Bay's shoreline, highlighting the combined role of tidal stage ...

Mapping scientific production in dual higher education and dual vocational training: A systematic review with PRISMA

open access: yesReview of Education, Volume 14, Issue 2, August 2026.
Abstract Dual training is a subject of interest due to the current political initiatives in education to promote training programmes that bring the education system closer to both professional employment and the business fabric of a given region. Given the influence of educational and labour legislation on the scientific approach to dual education ...

Going round in cycles but going somewhere: Deciphering cyclical dynamics using Ecological Trajectory Analysis

open access: yesEcological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Earth's ecological dynamics are largely rhythmic, tied to regular cycles such as seasons, lunar phases, days, or tides. Subdisciplines of ecology such as phenology have developed specific concepts and metrics adapted to describe and analyze cyclical dynamics, but they operate in a largely unidimensional framework.

Stratified Pit Features at the Presbytère de l'Ancienne‐Lorette (CeEu‐11) and the Fort Odanak (CaFe‐7) Sites in Québec, Canada: A Comparative Geoarchaeological Analysis

open access: yesGeoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT A geoarcheological study of two large, stratified Indigenous pit features discovered at two Jesuit mission sites in Québec (Canada) was carried out to offer a detailed documentation of their contents and better understand their use over time. One of the pits is a 17th c.

Block‐in‐Matrix Deformation and Veining in Alpine Subducted Oceanic Metasediments at Blueschist Facies Conditions

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract In subduction zones, the locked seismogenic zone is bordered by an upper and a lower transition zone. In these transition zones, deformation is primarily accommodated by an interplay of diffuse viscous deformation within a weak matrix and brittle deformation in stiffer bands and blocks.

An Alternative Method for Meta-Analysis [PDF]

open access: yesBiometrical Journal, 1999
In many fields of applications, test statistics are obtained by combining estimates from several experiments, studies or centres of a multi-centre trial. The commonly used test procedure to judge the evidence of a common overall effect can result in a considerable overestimation of the significance level, leading to a high rate of too liberal decisions.
