Evaluating the possible role of bottom currents and internal waves in shaping seafloor morphology in a mesophotic reef

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 593-619, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Mesophotic reefs are located in low light conditions which, depending on the region, are usually found in water depths greater than ~30 m. They are less affected by ocean warming than reefs found in shallower water depths and thus might become increasingly important for the sustainability of marine biodiversity.

Ultraviolet reflectance of nestling plumage and the provisioning strategies of adult Eastern Phoebes (Sayornis phoebe) [PDF]

, 2011
Most songbirds are visually sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths and, in some species, variation in the extent to which plumage reflects in the UV range provides information about individual quality that influences mate-choice decisions.

Geospatial Analysis of Population Exposure to Flooding in the Sudd Region, South Sudan

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The Sudd wetland in South Sudan extends over 90,000 km2. Large‐scale flood events in recent years (2019–2022) are said to have led to the displacement of an estimated 1.8 million people in total. However, these estimates are approximate and to date there has not been a systematic analysis of population exposure to flooding in the Sudd region ...

Effect of nestling sex ratio on the provisioning behavior of adult Eastern Bluebirds (Sialia sialis) [PDF]

, 2011
To maximize reproductive success, parents may, in some cases, differentially invest in sons and daughters, i.e., sex-biased parental investment. Preferential provisioning behavior has been reported in one population of Eastern Bluebirds (Sialia sialis ...

Land use gradients drive spatial variation in Lassa fever host communities in the Eastern Province of Sierra Leone

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 2, Page 296-312, February 2026.
As West Africa urbanises, the risk of Lassa fever may paradoxically decrease. We found the invasive house mouse, a dominant urban species, outcompetes and displaces the primary Lassa virus host. Considering these species interactions is critical for accurately predicting future zoonotic disease patterns.

African Lambdas I: Formal Semantics of African Languages—The Nominal Domain

Language and Linguistics Compass, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT The formal semantic analysis of African languages is still a young subfield within theoretical linguistics. Starting with general overviews of the quantifier systems of individual African languages around two decades ago, there now exists a substantial body of fieldwork‐based and autochthonous formal semantic research conducted by both African

Abundance Of Songbirds In Eastern Hemlock Stands Following Chemical Treatment For Hemlock Woolly Adelgid [PDF]

, 2020
In the 1960’s the invasive Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (Adelges tsugae [hereafter, HWA]) began to spread west across the hemlock stands of the Eastern U.S. killing a significant number of Eastern Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis).

Historical Drainage Evolution and Water Level Fluctuations in the African Great Lakes Shaped Phylogeny and Biogeography of Freshwater Gastropods

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim The role of historical drainage connectivity and the influence of water level fluctuations in African lakes on the evolution and distribution of macroinvertebrates remain poorly understood. This is partly because evolutionary biology research has largely focused on mobile vertebrates, such as cichlids.

VALIDATING HISTORICAL INTERPRETATIONS: AN APPROACH FROM CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY

History and Theory, Volume 63, Issue 3, Page 384-402, September 2024.
ABSTRACT Historians and anthropologists share a common problem of setting criteria for the validation of their interpretations. While many features are shared and explicit—for example, that a full range of data needs to be considered and that information should be reliably sourced—the actual criteria for assessing supportable interpretations are ...
