Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1091-1119, June 2026.ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand
New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

An Overview of Tsunami Hazards in the Southwest Pacific Ocean
New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.The southwest Pacific region is geologically complex and exhibits all the principal causes of tsunami generation. While contemporary events and historical catalogs indicate that trans‐Pacific tsunamis have affected this area (∼18% of tsunamis reported globally), it is unique in that a large part of the tsunami effects over the ∼200‐year historical ...

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.Detrital platinum group minerals (PGM) are rare and distinctive in Pleistocene–Holocene sedimentary systems of the southern South Island, thereby enabling tracking of their long‐distance transport for ∼200 km. The first ∼100 km of transport involved Pleistocene glaciofluvial processes southwards down the Waiau River, where PGM (principally Pt–Fe and Ru–

Bayesian Decision Thresholds for Bushfire Warnings: Calibration and Robustness for Rare‐Event Risk
Australian &New Zealand Journal of Statistics, Volume 68, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Current bushfire warning systems communicate the probability of a warning given danger, but residents require the probability of danger given a warning. This misalignment, combined with the extreme rarity of catastrophic fires, often leads to the dangerous ‘wait and see’ behaviour.

Sleep Deprivation in Mice: Looking Beyond the Slow Wave Rebound
Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 35, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT Sleep is a fundamental process supporting the dynamic regulation of neural function. Emerging methods have proposed that the aperiodic components of brain signals (such as the spectral slope, spectral intercept, and spectral knee), in addition to entropy‐based measures, offer robust empirical markers of neural states.
