Herder in the lab: Maximizing “cultural density” in multilingual training data for an open‐science AI project

Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 36, Issue 3, December 2026.
Abstract This paper provides ethnographic analysis of interactions between volunteers in an open‐science AI project entrusted with preparing multilingual text for use in fine‐tuning a pretrained LLM. Volunteers were encouraged to entextualize translated text into structured corpora and to write and edit prompt‐completion pairings in over 100 languages.

Sustainable and Seismically Resilient Confined Masonry: Global Progress in Research and Design Practice

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Modern confined masonry (CM) construction consists of masonry walls confined by reinforced concrete (RC) tie‐columns and tie‐beams. When built correctly, CM buildings have shown good performance in earthquake's shaking. Even though CM construction has been practised for almost a century in some Latin American countries, its use and standardisation are ...

Accounting for Biases in the Analysis of Building Damage Data for the 2023 M7.8 Türkiye/Syria Earthquake Sequence

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
In the aftermath of a large earthquake, several practical constraints affect the systematic collection of data for assessing building damage. The available data are therefore typically incomplete, frequently missing key information such as the type of construction, age and geographic location.

The Geography of Partnerships in Latin American Climate NGOs and the Limits of South–South Cooperation

Bulletin of Latin American Research, Volume 45, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Post‐aid scholarship suggests cooperation among non‐state actors in middle‐income regions has become less Northern‐anchored and more geographically dispersed. At the same time, optimistic readings of polycentric climate governance imply that decentralisation may loosen North–South hierarchies.

Evaluating the protection status and exposure to warming of Caribbean reefs with high functional potential

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Over the past decades, climate change has emerged as a major threat to global biodiversity, negatively affecting the integrity and functioning of ecosystems and the benefits they provide to people. To mitigate these impacts, it is essential to identify climate refugia that support the persistence of the structure and function of reef ...

Fine‐scale genetic structure in co‐operatively breeding Palmchats (Dulus dominicus) suggests mixed kinship in compound nests

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1378-1390, October 2026.
Fine‐scale genetic structure in animal populations can create opportunities for both kin‐directed co‐operation and kin competition. Knowledge of kinship is therefore key to understanding the selective pressures shaping sociality as well as the effects of social behaviour on local genetic structure.
