Through Time and Across Traits: Evaluating Explanations of Human Evolution
ABSTRACT We argue that current explanatory practice misses two situations that can arise in any lineage, not only ours. The first is dynamic: traits continue changing in one direction when a lineage's own niche construction keeps enlarging the problem it faces.

Birds, through their wide range of functional traits, can serve as useful indicators of ecological change. Monitoring them across spatial scales has been considerably enhanced through passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) and automated call identification.

Composition and Provenance of Victoria Group Sandstones in Southern North Victoria Land, Antarctica
Three distinct source areas contributed to sandstones of the Victoria Group within the Transantarctic Basin in southern North Victoria Land. During the Permian, quartzose sandstones were derived from erosion of the local Ross Orogen, likely from an uplifted swell in the area of today's Ross Sea, the Ross High.

Beach Gold and Heavy Mineral Concentrates on Tiwai Spit Gravel Strand Plain, Southland, New Zealand
The Holocene Tiwai Spit on Foveaux Strait is a 12 km by 2 km gravel‐dominated strand plain, ∼10 m above present sea level. Gravel clasts are dominated by well‐rounded quartz cobbles, pebbles and granules derived from Otago Schist 200 km to the north in evolving river drainage systems during late Cenozoic.

Abstract Vulcanian eruptions are classically associated with the launch of ballistic ejecta and particularly with the production of breadcrust bombs. Morpho‐textural analysis of these ejecta provides critical insight into the poorly constrained processes controlling the complex dynamics of Vulcanian activity.
