Many nocturnal animals are difficult to study because they are rarely seen, including nocturnal primates, galagos and pottos, in West Africa. Working with over 600 people in 52 villages in southern Guinea‐Bissau, we found that communities frequently recognized galagos by their red eyeshine and distinctive calls, while pottos were not known.

Abstract Confronted by daunting environmental risks and disasters, communities in the Caribbean–particularly those in economically disenfranchised areas–face disproportionate consequences from climate change, such as hazardous air and water quality.

Significant Decline in Carbon Storage at the Edges of Mangrove Forest
Abstract Quantitative analysis of blue carbon stored in mangrove ecosystems is essential for understanding their role in climate change mitigation. However, the impacts of edge effects in fragmented mangrove forests are often overlooked in large‐scale blue carbon assessments.

Abstract Drought is increasingly reshaping terrestrial ecosystems under climate change, yet how aridity modulates the climatic sensitivities of satellite‐derived green‐up rate (GR) and senescence rate (SR) in natural ecosystems remains poorly understood at the global scale. Here, we combine two decades of satellite observations and climate data sets to

Abstract Mangroves and saltmarshes can remove anthropogenic nitrogen (N) moving from the land to the ocean, but many previous N cycling measurements used destructive sampling procedures that excluded important habitats such as crab burrows, pneumatophores, and saltmarsh vegetation.

Abstract We present evidence of a previously unrecognized east‐west‐trending normal fault, named the Parguera Fault, in southwest Puerto Rico. The fault is located at the northwestern edge of seismicity from the southwest Puerto Rico seismic sequence that began in 2019, near the coastal town of La Parguera.

Water Beings and Capitalist Relations in India's Sundarbans Delta
ABSTRACT This article explores entanglements between water cosmologies and capitalist transformation in the Sundarbans delta of West Bengal, India. It traces how “awakened” tidal creeks have been iteratively enclosed as private fisheries from the colonial period to the present, with particular focus on the expansion of commercial aquaculture over the ...

Modulating Hunting Atmospheres: Mud and Material Flows Beyond the Kill
ABSTRACT This article argues that hunting is not a bounded event but a materially redistributed atmosphere that extends beyond the kill and across field, truck, clothing, and home. Drawing on long‐term ethnographic fieldwork with wild boar hunters in Uruguay, I show how mud, odors, blood, and bodily residues carry the sensory, affective, and material ...
