Divergence Linked to Possible Ecological Speciation in Blind Mole Rats: Integration of Thermal Biology and Bite Force in the Upper Galilee Blind Mole Rat (Nannospalax galili)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Basalt‐dwelling blind mole rats maintain lower body temperatures, show greater post‐digging thermal increases, and dig more efficiently than those from rendzina soils. Although metabolic rates and bite force did not differ between populations, these thermal and physiological shifts align with the greater mechanical resistance and seasonal hypoxia of ...

Microplate Tectonics Through Earth History and Across Solid Multispheres

Geological Society of China Bulletin, EarlyView.
The evolution of tectonic microplates throughout Earth´s history as well as the transitions between microplates across different solid spheres offers a novel approach to expanding the traditional plate tectonics theory. ABSTRACT The evolution of tectonic microplates throughout Earth's history as well as the transitions between microplates across ...

Late Antique Allāh: Ancestral Arabian Religion and the Monotheistic Zeitgeist

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This essay addresses the ongoing scholarly tension between the monotheistic interpretations of late pre‐Islamic Arabian religion, pioneered by G. Hawting and P. Crone, and the traditional accounts of rampant Arabian polytheism found in later Islamic literary sources.

An Introduction to the Rock Art of Khaybar

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Between 2020 and 2024, the Khaybar Longue Durée Archaeological Project recorded 2333 rock art panels around the oasis of Khaybar in northwest Arabia. This dataset documents changing visual expression in a previously under‐researched region. The rock art broadly follows chronological and stylistic patterns observed elsewhere in northern Arabia.

Potential vs. Realized Large Carnivore Density: The Influence of Livestock on Carnivore Carrying Capacity Estimation

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
In an unfenced mixed‐use savanna landscape in Namibia, we compared realized densities of leopards and cheetahs estimated using spatial capture–recapture models with prey‐based carrying capacity predictions. Leopard densities exceeded predictions based on wild prey alone but closely matched livestock‐supplemented models, suggesting that vulnerable ...

Basalt characterisation.

Addressing soil nutrient degradation and global warming requires novel solutions. Enhanced weathering using crushed basalt rock is a promising dual-action strategy that can enhance soil health and sequester carbon dioxide.

Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Stone artifacts (lithics) preserve for extended periods; thus they are key evidence for probing the evolution of human technological behaviors. Africa boasts the oldest record of stone artifacts, spanning 3.3 Ma, rare instances of ethnographic stone tool‐making, and stone tool archives from diverse ecological settings, making it an anchor for ...

Assessment of the basaltic rocks in Yemen for the basalt fibers production

Thamar University Journal of Natural & Applied Sciences
Representative samples were collected from 22 sites across Yemen. The geochemical analysis found that the SiO2 content ranges from 40.40 to 55.60%, the Al2O3 content ranges from 12.70 to 16.10%, the Fe2O3 content ranges from 8.41 to 15.80%, the CaO content ranges from 3.66 to 11.05%, and the MgO content ranges from 1.30 to 11.40%.
