‘Elbow grease and yellow soap’: Housework time in working‐class households in late‐nineteenth and early twentieth‐century Britain

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Housework is central to feminist calls for recognition of women's work, economic histories explaining the sexual division of labour, and claims regarding the progressive role of scientific knowledge. Yet little is known about the time it actually took. We address this lacuna.

Reconnaissance‐Scale Methods for the Identification of Groundwater Discharge to Streams

Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.
Abstract Identifying groundwater discharge locations is critical for understanding and monitoring groundwater contributions to streams in terms of water quantity and quality. Streams and rivers are under increasing strain from factors, including increased urbanization, agricultural land use, groundwater extraction, and climate change, which can alter ...

Deep sea cold seeps are a sink for mercury and source for methylmercury

Communications Earth & Environment
The effect of seafloor cold seeps on the biogeochemical cycling of mercury (Hg) remains enigmatic. Here we demonstrate substantial enrichments of mercury and methylmercury, along with the presence of microbes capable of metabolizing mercury in sediments ...

Comparing species accumulation within taxonomically well‐ and poorly resolved insect groups over 37 years

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Here, we used a unique 37‐year (1969–2006) freshwater macroinvertebrate time‐series, collected over seven sites in central Germany, to study biodiversity patterns and species accumulation over time. Accumulation curves of Diptera diversity have not reached a plateau in 37 years of sampling.

Lignin Unlocks Stealth Carbon Sinks in Cold Seeps via Microbial Enzymatic Gatekeeping

Research
Cold seep ecosystems serve as critical hubs in marine carbon cycling through methane emissions and organic matter processing. While terrestrial lignin constitutes a major fraction of persistent organic carbon in cold seep sediments, its microbial ...

Thermogenesis‐derived spatiotemporal microclimates guide pollinator movement to ensure pollination

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Alocasia odora's microclimatic heterogeneity guides Colocasiomyia fly movement within its inflorescence. During the female stage, midday heat in the upper spadix pushes flies down to the cooler female zone. During the male stage, nocturnal warmth in the upper part pulls flies upward and spathe constriction closes the lower female chamber.

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

Time, place, person: Field epidemiology as a political practice

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Five years after the end of the Ebola epidemic, a district in Sierra Leone received a measles alert. This article tells the story of the epidemic that followed and the response that was mounted in the context of the new global epidemic preparedness and biosecurity paradigms that govern the management of health emergencies.

Diapausing adult female mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in overwintering sites in Estonia in 2023–2024: Species composition and variation

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
First comprehensive survey of overwintering mosquitoes in Estonia, documenting 5286 female mosquitoes collected from 18 subterranean overwintering sites. The Culex pipiens/Culex torrentium group dominated overwintering assemblages, representing 96.6% of all analysed specimens. Molecular analyses revealed a higher proportion of Cx.
