Artificial Shelters as a Monitoring and Conservation Tool for Terrestrial Breeding Frogs
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Artificial concrete and wooden shelters were tested as low‐impact tools for monitoring a cryptic terrestrial‐breeding frog, Austrochaperina robusta, in the Australian Wet Tropics. Frogs overwhelmingly preferred concrete shelters, which provided stronger thermal buffering, supported higher occupancy across seasons, and were the only shelters used for ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 603-623, March 2026.ABSTRACT A significant portion of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in seismically active regions was constructed prior to the adoption of modern seismic design standards, leaving them highly susceptible to earthquake‐induced damage. The vulnerabilities of these structures, often exacerbated by material degradation, have been starkly ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 781-803, March 2026.ABSTRACT Over recent decades, the collection of seismic data has improved the understanding of near‐fault ground motion effects, which involve both horizontal and vertical components. Among the most significant effects are fault‐normal directivity, which concentrates seismic energy into an intense, long‐period pulse, and fault‐parallel fling step ...

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 2, March/April 2026.ABSTRACT This paper presents the results of minero‐petrographic and chemical analyses of pottery and potential local raw materials from Ustica, a small volcanic island off the coast of Palermo (Sicily), inhabited during the Middle Neolithic. Typologically, the pottery shows cultural connections to the Bicromica and Serra d'Alto traditions, linking ...

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 2, March/April 2026.ABSTRACT This study presents new evidence for the early use of lime mortar during the Early Iron Age at the Piscina Torta site (Ostia, Italy), situated on the earliest Holocene beach ridges in the southern Tiber delta. The site, which was earlier described as a briquetage site, dates from between the late 8th and 6th century BCE and consists of a large

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract The study of variations in geomagnetic field intensity over time and space is crucial to understand the evolution of the geodynamo and its interactions with the Earth's surface. In this work, we introduce the SAGEOMAG (South America GEOMAGnetic) database, a comprehensive and updated repository of geomagnetic field intensity records derived ...
