Over the hills and far away. Last glacial maximum lithic technology around the Great Adriatic Plain

open access: yes, 2015
The research scope of this book is the human occupation of the northern Adriatic region at the end of the Last Glacial Maximum (ca. 24,000- 20,000 calBP), and a point of view over the long debated occupation of the once exposed Great Adriatic Plain and ...

Evaluation of Drillability of the Mahu Conglomerate Formation in Xinjiang, China

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 9, Page 4095-4112, September 2026.
This graphical abstract illustrates the workflow for developing an optimized prediction model using measurement while drilling (MWD) data. A total of 90 MWD cases are divided into a training set (80%) and a test set (20%). Four logging‐while‐drilling parameters—compensation density, acoustic travel time, resistivity, and neutron porosity—are selected ...

Through Time and Across Traits: Evaluating Explanations of Human Evolution

open access: yesEvolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 3, September 2026.
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.

Using functionally representative bird species and passive acoustic monitoring to model ecological variation across a land use mosaic in a dryland system

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
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.
