Leveraging Multi‐Isotope Systems to Investigate Conflict, Food Insecurity, and Elevated Nitrogen Isotope Values in the Nazca Highlands of Peru During the Late Intermediate Period (1000–1450 CE)

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 191, Issue 3, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives The physical effects of interpersonal violence are well documented in archaeology, but its broader impacts on population health, mobility, and resource access remain less understood. This article assesses how chronic warfare restricted movement and access to critical resources, altering dietary practices and contributing to ...

Language ecologies and dynamics in the ancient Central Andes

open access: yes
Abstract This chapter sketches ways of comprehending Andean patterns of language use in the context its social and cultural meaning . . ., with particular reference to the early historical situation that might contain elements for models that can be applied to (late) prehistory.

Network Indices and Diversity Follow Distinct Patterns for Bee–Plant Networks Along a Neotropical Elevational Gradient

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
Ecological studies of how interactions, communities, and species change along elevational gradients are still missing from some key organisms and ecosystems. We quantify bee–plant interactions and bee diversity patterns along a low elevation Neotropical mountain.

A Multi‐Stage Framework for Diagnosing Structural Redundancy Between Selected Functional Diversity Metrics: Empirical Applications Under an A Priori Expectation of Overlap

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
We present a multi‐stage framework for evaluating structural redundancy among selected functional diversity metrics when prior evidence suggests overlap. Comparisons of wFDc–RQ and Q–FDis across three freshwater ecosystems in Ecuador revealed strong concordance that persisted after accounting for taxonomic richness.

Metabolic ecology and habitat stability explain the disproportionately high species richness in standing waters

open access: yesEcological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 4, November 2026.
Abstract The metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) conceptualizes that temperature is the primary driver of species richness, a pattern well supported in terrestrial taxa but less certain for freshwater organisms. Limited global‐scale evidence and frequent violations of MTE's assumptions, particularly regarding the stationarity of body size and abundance ...
