Fragmented grasslands in different landscape structures provide different opportunities for cavity‐nesting Hymenoptera

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Grassland fragmentation effects on cavity‐nesting Hymenoptera are habitat‐specific. Isolated sand steppe fragments are associated with higher brood‐cell abundance. In loess steppes, higher flower frequency increases bee brood‐cell production and parasitoid activity. Abstract The global decline in insects threatens ecosystem functioning, but the drivers

Insights Into the Origin and Local Adaptation Evolution of the Cultivated Sesame With Telomere‐to‐Telomere High‐Quality Genome

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sesame (Sesamum indicum L., 2n = 26) is one of the oldest oilseed crops and is often called the ‘queen of oilseeds’ due to its high content of unsaturated fatty acids and natural antioxidants. Despite its long history, the origin and global spread of cultivated sesame remain unresolved.

La chasse au cerf au Néolithique. Un gibier par excellence ?

Archéopages, 2010
Deer were much sought-after prey in the Neolithic despite the minimal contribution hunting played in feeding populations. Evidence of the practice in all the early Neolithic sites, whatever the period or region, attests to its persistence.

Living in the Mycelial World

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

The Origins of Fashion

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper reconceptualizes fashion as a deep‐time system of bodily communication rather than a byproduct of modern consumer societies. We define fashion as a socially transmitted system of bodily display in which patterned variation occurs within shared conventions of appearance.

LATE NEOLITHIC VINČA POTTERY FIRING PROCEDURE: RECONSTRUCTION OF NEOLITHIC TECHNOLOGY THROUGH EXPERIMENT [PDF]

Opvscvla archaeologica, 2018
The considerations about Late Neolithic Vinča pot- tery are numerous in archaeological literature, but the Neolithic technology, and especially firing proce- dures are still unknown. The main goal of conducted experiment was reconstruction of reduced firing in pits, but also open-air firing and intentional black- ening of the vessels fired in oxidizing

Coupling Climate Downscaling With Species Distribution Models to Identify Potential Climate Refugia for Giant Panda Forage Bamboos

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study addresses a critical gap in understanding how climate change will affect the foundation of giant panda habitat—its bamboo food resources—at a biologically meaningful scale. While previous assessments often relied on coarse‐resolution climate data, we present the first 30 m‐resolution projections for all 20 key bamboo species across the panda'
