Risk and its others: Toward an anthropology of “protection” in rural Mongolia

American Anthropologist, Volume 127, Issue 1, Page 69-79, March 2025.
Abstract Anthropological studies of risk have long focused on how people respond to and aim to manage potential harm. But despite its long and important genealogy, this article suggests that risk can pose an analytic blind spot that potentially occludes other ways of understanding how people aim to live well in potentially harmful situations.

Ethnic components of Kalmyks and Khazarians according to population genetics

Nomadic Civilization: Historical Research
The Mongols have two populations: the Khalkha and the Oirats (eastern and western). The Oirats also have two subpopulations: the Kalmyks and the Kalmaks (Dzungars).

Degradation of the Antibiotic Sulfamethoxazole by Ozonation: A Comprehensive Review

CleanMat, Volume 1, Issue 1, Page 16-51, 26 December 2024.
Sulfamethoxazole can be effectively degraded from water via ozonation. Complete mineralization is rarely reached as TOC removal efficiency struggles to exceed 60%. The presence of organic matter and the pH of the solution interfere with the degradation and the mechanism is still not well understood especially regarding the relevant reactive oxygen ...

Turkic-Mongolian Names of Neat and Small Cattle in the Khalkha Mongolian Language

Oriental Studies, 2018
The article investigates the terms for cattle and small ruminants on the material of the modern Khalkha-Mongolian language and compares them with the corresponding names of animals in the ancient Turkic language.

Names of Leather Packages and Containers in the Mongolic Languages

Oriental Studies, 2018
Though studied unevenly, the Mongolian languages have been long known both in Europe and Russia’s academic circles. The most investigated modern Mongolian languages are Khalkha Mongolian, Buryat and Kalmyk.

Score filtering for contextualized noise suppression of Poisson‐distributed geophysical signals

Near Surface Geophysics, Volume 22, Issue 6, Page 599-616, December 2024.
Abstract Geophysical and remote sensing products that rely on Poisson‐distributed measurement signals, such as cosmic‐ray neutron sensing (CRNS) and gamma spectrometry, often face challenges due to inherent Poisson noise. Common techniques to enhance signal stability include data aggregation or smoothing (e.g., moving averages and interpolation ...

Temporal Study of Environmental DNA and Acoustic Data Reveals Coexistence of Sympatric Bat Species in a North American Ecosystem

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 6, November–December 2024.
We found evidence of fine‐scale spatial partitioning and temporal differences in activity of different bat species in our northern California study area based on acoustic data. Two co‐roosting species, Tadarida brasiliensis and Eptesicus fuscus, displayed some differences in the identities and relative abundances of prey species consumed, but both ...

Insectivorous birds and bats outperform ants in the top‐down regulation of arthropods across strata of a Japanese temperate forest

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 93, Issue 11, Page 1622-1638, November 2024.
Our study is the first to experimentally investigate the independent and combined impacts of bats, birds and ants on arthropod densities and subsequent herbivory damage across the canopy and understorey temperate forest layers. We found no vertical gradient in top‐down control importance in the forest.

Climatic gradients and forest composition shape bat communities in Eastern Mediterranean pine plantations

Integrative Zoology, Volume 19, Issue 6, Page 1121-1134, November 2024.
Bat communities along a natural gradient of temperature and precipitation in pine forests were studied. Bat communities showed phylogenetic and trait clustering. These communities are shaped by climate conditions and forest vegetation composition. The field and the modeling approach can be extended to other taxa and environments to predict species ...

Long‐term and landscape impacts of buffel grass on arid plant communities: Ecosystem shifts and acceleration by fire

Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2024.
Abstract Plant invasions drive biodiversity loss, transform ecosystems, and promote positive‐feedback cycles between invasion and fire. However, the long‐term impacts of invasive grasses across landscapes with diverse plant communities and interactions with fire are poorly known.
