100 years of monitoring in the Swiss National Park reveals overall decreasing rock glacier velocities

Communications Earth & Environment
The rock glaciers of the Swiss National Park were the first in the world where in-situ measurements of surface displacement were undertaken, starting with the pioneering work of Chaix in 1918.

Comparative Trends of Sociality Among Terrestrial Carnivores: A Multivariate Analysis 陆生食肉动物社会性的比较趋势:一项多变量分析

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
In this study we analyze the role of phylogeny, environment, and community structure on sociality. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) we aim to quantify the direct and indirect impacts of variables on behaviors including social grouping, reproduction, and space use among Carnivora species.

To converge or diverge? Phenological shifts driven by plant genome size and functional traits under nitrogen deposition and mowing

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Linkages between genome size (GS) and phenology underscore the diversification of functional traits, which are indicative of life‐history and resource acquisition strategies.

Mammalian herbivory indirectly shapes savanna arthropod communities but only at very low or high levels

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study investigates how large mammalian herbivores shape arthropod communities in African savannas, using a broad gradient of herbivory types and intensities to assess these effects under real‐world, non‐experimental conditions. Abstract Savanna ecosystems support unique biodiversity and provide livelihoods for millions of people.

Mediterranean cyclones are a substantial cause of damaging floods in Corsica

Communications Earth & Environment
Cyclones, whether tropical, extratropical, or of Mediterranean origin, play a crucial role in the Earth’s climate system, affecting environments and populations through strong winds, heavy rainfall, and flooding.

Modeling boreal forest soil dynamics with the microbially explicit soil model MIMICS+ (v1.0) [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development
Understanding carbon exchange processes between land reservoirs and the atmosphere is essential for predicting carbon–climate feedbacks. Still, considerable uncertainty remains in the representation of the terrestrial carbon cycle in Earth system models.

Crisis, temporality and governmental policy agendas: The cases of Finland and Sweden

Scandinavian Political Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Crises transform the temporal orientation of political decision‐making. They demand immediate and decisive action and thus convert time into a means of political control. In these circumstances, assessing the long‐term consequences of proposed policies with respect to welfare, sustainability or justice also becomes demanding.

Desegregationist Pan‐African Spiritual Strivings: Du Bois, the Black Church and the Critique of Imperialism*

Journal of Religious History, EarlyView.
Abstract This article argues that W. E. B. Du Bois grounded his seminal conceptualisation of “the Negro church” in a Pan‐Africanist challenge to how Christian reformers and missionaries' usage of “Darkest Africa” as a metaphor for modern urban vice and poverty denigrated Africa and the African diaspora while promoting a segregated, imperialist version ...

Wintertime production and storage of methane in thermokarst ponds of subarctic Norway [PDF]

Biogeosciences
The ongoing climate change in permafrost areas can trigger abrupt thaw processes, leading to the formation of thermokarst lakes and ponds. These water bodies, especially in organic-rich areas, are recognized as strong methane (CH4) emitters during the ...
