Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT This paper reconceptualizes fashion as a deep‐time system of bodily communication rather than a byproduct of modern consumer societies. We define fashion as a socially transmitted system of bodily display in which patterned variation occurs within shared conventions of appearance.

E. coli Extracellular Matrix: A Tunable Composite With Hierarchical Structure
Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 43, 3 August 2026.The complex composite‐like mechanical behavior of E. coli biofilm matrix is the result of a synergic contribution of the rigid curli and swelling pEtN‐cellulose, and emerges from specific ratio and assembly conditions. The interactions between the two fibers govern biofilm hydration and characteristic wrinkling patterns, providing crucial insights for ...

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2008 Inclusions of wood debris loosened from pine-like trees are abundant in Baltic amber of Eocene and Oligocene age. The possibilities to find insect frass and excrement among wood debris are outlined and some examples are given. Comparison with the frass and excrement produced by present-day insects provide a possibility to identify insects even though ...

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Quantifying interactions between distinct water bodies is critical yet challenging for understanding ocean and estuarine dynamics. We introduce the coincidence index (CI), defined as the product of two arbitrary tracers (a $a$, b $b$), to diagnose where two water masses coexist and mix.

The largest amber-preserved flower revisited
Scientific Reports, 2023 Amber exquisitely preserves the delicate organs of fossil flowers for millions of years. However, flower inclusions can be rare and usually do not exceed 10 mm in size. Here we report an exceptionally large flower from late Eocene Baltic amber, measuring
