Forecasting the impact of food‐provisioning and other stressors on a marine top‐predator population
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.Wildlife tourism can alter animal behavior, affect vital rates and diminish population viability but its impact in the context of other human‐ and environmental disturbances, remain largely unstudied. Using simulation models and leveraging a robust long‐term dataset spanning eight years, we evaluated the contribution of wildlife feeding, in the context

Weather, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 337-341, October 2026.The English language is a gargantuan, gluttonous beast. It has become extraordinary in its powers of assimilation – such that we rarely consider the origins of the words we use. In this paper, we will shed light on these origins, including the Pontic–Caspian steppe, the British Empire and, of course, a TV show.

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Coral reefs are increasingly threatened by local and global stressors. Traditional visual reef monitoring methods are time‐intensive and provide only a snapshot of reef condition. Recent efforts aim to measure reef metabolism, or the balance of net community production (NCP) and net community calcification (NCC), as coral reef carbonate ...

Simulated Ocean Oxygen Under Miocene Boundary Conditions
Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract The Miocene Climatic Optimum (MCO; 16.9–14.7 Ma) was a warm interval with atmospheric CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$ comparable to end‐of‐21st‐century projections under intermediate emission scenarios. Proxy records indicate the Oxygen Minimum Zone (OMZ) in the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP) was small or non‐existent during the MCO, expanding only when

Surveying Biodiverse Coral Reef Ecosystems Across the Tree of Life With Environmental DNA
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.ABSTRACT A central challenge in evaluating biodiversity using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is that each primer set has biases resulting in selective amplification of taxonomic diversity. Here we test 11 primer pairs to assess Central Pacific coral reef diversity in the five kingdoms of marine eukaryotes: Chromista, Fungi, Metazoa, Plantae and

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 898-907, October 2026.ABSTRACT In 1837, the Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum in Innsbruck, Austria, purchased a Roman bronze statue of a maenad from the 2nd century ce with red garnets as facetted eye inlays found near Brixen, Southern Tyrol. These garnets were investigated using optical microscopy, a portable hand‐held and a stationary micro‐X‐ray fluorescence device, as
