Impacted Bones: Can Extant Primates Help Identify Tool Use in Early Hominins?
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Despite recent advances pushing back the earliest record of tool use, how and when it first emerged in hominins, and the extent to which it featured amongst the numerous co‐existing species, remain critical questions in paleoanthropology. In addition to analyzing fossils and lithic toolkits, novel strides in understanding this might be made by

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1890-1903, September 2026.The global coffee industry, supporting 25 million smallholder farmers, is vulnerable to climate change. Diversifying the coffee species portfolio beyond Arabica and robusta is a promising intervention. Liberica coffee could provide adaptive capacity, although its climate parameters for cultivation are poorly known.

River Sand and Gravel Mining: Global Drivers, Impacts, and Pathways for Sustainable Management
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract River sand and gravel are mined worldwide at volumes that now rival their natural replenishment, yet quantitative knowledge of this mining activity and its consequences lags far behind many other global environmental pressures. We synthesize 411 peer‐reviewed studies published since 1974 within a new Driver‐to‐Management Pathway for ...

High‐Resolution Regional Atmospheric Simulation of Precipitation and Isotopes in Central America
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract With advances in global and regional circulation models, the high‐resolution simulation of atmospheric variables has become increasingly feasible. In this study, we use IsoRSM, an isotope‐enabled regional spectral model, to improve the simulation of precipitation and its isotopic composition over tropical Costa Rica, which is marked by a ...
