A simple index for assessing cumulative human impacts on mountain lakes

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Mountain lakes are highly sensitive ecosystems and effective sentinels of environmental change, yet the exposure and magnitude of the human footprint remain poorly quantified. In this study, we develop a simple and non‐invasive abiotic index to assess cumulative pressures on mountain lakes. The proposed index integrates eight variables grouped

Stable Carbon and Nitrogen Isotope Analysis Explores Diverse Domestic Goose Management Practices in Medieval and Postmedieval Russia

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Studying goose domestication through archaeological finds has been challenging due to the similar skeletal morphology of the European domestic goose and its wild progenitor, the greylag goose (Anser anser). We analyzed stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotopes from bone collagen of subfossil domestic and potentially domestic geese to ...

The Association of Pregnancy and Scurvy in Indigenous Women and Their Children From the Late Holocene in California (USA)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Limited evidence of nutritional deficiencies has been identified in bioarchaeological studies of Native California populations, although isotopic and ethnohistoric research provides evidence of regional, seasonal, and cultural variability in food shortages.

Simplifying species‐interaction models by grouping parameters: optimal groupings differ between effects and responses

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Most ecological models of species interactions require many parameters, making them expensive to fit to experimental or observational data. To reduce the number of parameters, species are often divided into groups a priori, for example on the basis of functional or phylogenetic similarity, and species within these groups are assumed to behave ...
