Aquatic Diversity and Fishing Practices at Tell Tayinat (Türkiye) in the Iron Age

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While agrarian societies of the Iron Age Eastern Mediterranean relied predominantly on crops and herding of domestic stock for subsistence, local wild aquatic fauna offered a welcomed enrichment, and when opportunities occurred, it could have been a staple in the human diet.

Atmospheric reconnaissance of the habitable-zone Earth-sized planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1

, 2018
Seven temperate Earth-sized exoplanets readily amenable for atmospheric studies transit the nearby ultracool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 (refs ¹,²). Their atmospheric regime is unknown and could range from extended primordial hydrogen-dominated to depleted ...

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Climate Regimes across the Habitable Zone: A Comparison of Synchronous Rocky M and K Dwarf Planets

The Astrophysical Journal
M and K dwarf stars make up 86% of the stellar population and host many promising astronomical targets for detecting habitable climates in the near future.

The past and future habitability of planet Mars [PDF]

Current Biology, 2014
SummaryResults from NASA’s Curiosity rover reveal traces of bygone aqueous environments with sufficiently benign conditions for some of Earth’s hardier extremophiles to thrive. If Mars hosted life in the past, it may do so again in the future, as a project to colonise our neighbour planet is now recruiting volunteers for the one-way trip. Michael Gross

An educated search for transiting habitable planets: (Research Note) Targetting M dwarfs with known transiting planets [PDF]

, 2010
Because the planets of a system form in a flattened disk, they are expected to share similar orbital inclinations at the end of their formation. The high-precision photometric monitoring of stars known to host a transiting planet could thus reveal the ...

Characterising fine‐scale habitat associations for range expanding species with limited data: a case study on the West Nile Virus vector, Culex modestus

Oikos, EarlyView.
The ecological and epidemiological consequences of species expanding into new areas are growing concomitantly with climate change. Those aiming to monitor species expanding in range must make optimal use of finite resources to deliver effective surveillance capable of detecting new incursions and range expansions.

Carbon Cycle Imbalances on Arid Terrestrial Planets with Implications for Venus

The Planetary Science Journal
Arid terrestrial exoplanets are potentially abundant and are thus interesting targets in the search for life. In particular, M-dwarf planets such as those in the TRAPPIST-1 system may possess limited surface water, whereas early solar system terrestrials

Digital fire technologies and community networks: Cultivating just sociotechnical practices for living with planetary change

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Fires are expanding in frequency and intensity worldwide due to climate change and land‐use transformations. At the same time, fire often plays a regenerative role in ecosystems. Traditional and cultural practices incorporate fire use for landscape management and landscape renewal. In this complex matrix of fire ecologies, digital technologies

Forging environmentalism: The influence of childhood nature experiences on people's pro‐biodiversity value orientations and attitudes

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract With the rapid expansion of transnational biodiversity policy instruments promoting large‐scale landscape transformations that depend on public support for their success and feasibility, understanding the mechanisms underlying pro‐biodiversity attitudes has become important.
