Cultural geography of heat: Artistic experiments with heat’s animacies

Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2026.
A sustained, cultural geographical engagement with heat is long overdue. I advance this agenda by engaging with the work of contemporary artists. Artists are responding to uneven conditions of global heating by exploring heat’s animacies: how heat interweaves with the practices and textures of life.

Soil Seed Bank Holds Some Potential for Natural Regeneration in a Semi‐Arid Rangeland

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural regeneration of degraded lands can be facilitated by the recruitment of plant species from the soil seed bank. However, the composition of soil seed banks in arid Australia has seldom been studied. We addressed this knowledge gap by quantifying the soil seed bank of chenopod shrubland and remnant Acacia aneura (mulga) stands in an ex ...

A Baseline Checklist of Mosquito Species (Diptera: Culicidae) From Tasmania, Australia, and Implications for Public Health Arbovirus Surveillance and Biosecurity

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are of major public health importance due to their role as vectors of mosquito‐borne pathogens and the impact of nuisance biting. Accurate geographical knowledge of mosquito fauna is the foundation of effective arbovirus surveillance and biosecurity.

Attraction of Phoracantha mastersi (Coloeptera: Cerambycidae) to copulation‐associated olfactory stimuli

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 502-507, August 2026.
Damage caused by Phoracantha mastersi larvae are the primary cause of forest decline in Australia's subalpine forests. Behaviour of male adult beetles was tested in response to a suite of commercial semiochemicals and conspecifics engaged in active copulation within a Y‐maze.

Knocking Off the Street: The Subversive Writings of Hong Kong's Grassroots Kings

City &Society, Volume 38, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines how two grassroots street artists in Hong Kong, the King of Kowloon (Tsang Tsou‐choi) and the Plumber King (Yim Chiu‐tong), intervene in the city's everyday visual order. Moving beyond celebratory collective memory narratives and easy analogies to graffiti, it frames their works as subversive urban practices that rework ...

Local Adaptation to Current but Not Future Climate in Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests: Population Genomic Evidence in a Neotropical Legume Tree

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Neotropical seasonally dry biomes are amongst the world's most threatened ecosystems and are predicted to lose more biodiversity with climate change. The capacity of natural populations to respond to these changes depends on their genetic variation, but is poorly understood in most Neotropical seasonally dry forest species.

‘I'm Just Not Artistic’—An Exploration of Initial Teacher Education Trainees' Confidence in Their Art Ability and their Perceptions of Teaching the Primary Art and Design Curriculum

International Journal of Art &Design Education, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 640-654, August 2026.
Abstract This study explores the ongoing debate surrounding the degradation of art and design in primary education and the perceptions of trainee teachers preparing to teach the subject. It provides a starting point for further research into the role of initial teacher education (ITE) in reframing trainee teachers' conceptions of the nature and ...

Mid‐infrared spectroscopy applied to a multi‐level cave system (Montmaurin, SW France): An innovative method for assessing sediment provenance

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 1722-1749, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Deciphering sediment provenance is essential to understand depositional patterns and dynamics. This question is particularly important in archaeological contexts to constrain the sedimentological history of unearthed material—an information critically needed, for example, to estimate the age of the deposits—or to apprehend sediment movement ...

Estimating Surface Explosion Yield From Single‐Channel Infrasound Signals at Regional Distances With Random‐Forest Regression

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract When detonated on the Earth's surface, large explosions emit distinctive acoustic signatures that propagate over vast distances with relatively low attenuation in the form of infrasound. Infrasound stations hundreds of kilometers from the impulsive source can record the propagated pressure signal, atmospheric conditions permitting.
