Evidence of Cheliped Autotomy and Regeneration in the Lower Miocene Crab Achelous monspeliensis From Portugal

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Crab autotomy with evidence of regeneration is described for the first time in the fossil record. Autotomy is a defensive behavior that affects more males than females of Achelous monspeliensis and may be related to mating season. ABSTRACT Autotomy—the voluntary shedding of a limb as a defensive response to predation, intraspecific aggression, or ...

Coral reef and mangrove interplay during Holocene sea level changes, Belitung Island, Indonesia

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
The fate of mangroves and coral reefs during the ongoing sea level rise depends not only on our ability to preserve the ecosystems but also on their geological preconditioning. Therefore, strategies to preserve mangrove ecosystems, while undoubtedly essential, wecan only be successful if accounting for their geological history. Abstract Coral reefs and

Stress redistribution following landslides: Insights from 3D stress modelling of mountain topography

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
We present a novel numerical workflow adapting the Finite Cell Method directly to digital elevation models to simulate near‐surface stress fields. The models demonstrate that topographic unloading via slope failure dramatically reduces localized peak shear stresses but actively redistributes elastic loads onto adjacent slopes, driving progressive ...

open access: yesAnthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Anthropologists have often turned to poetry as a means of accessing emotional registers of which conventional academic prose is unable to avail. In doing so, they have tacitly conflated poetry with lyric poetry, today probably the most widely practiced poetic genre, associated in particular with the expression of inner feelings and subjectival
