Multi‐Method Geophysical Surveys Between and Around the Kerlescan and the Manio Megalithic Alignments in Carnac (Morbihan, France)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Carnac alignments in Morbihan (France) are among the most famous Neolithic sites of the world. Paradoxically, they have benefited little from a thorough renewal of archaeological data over the past century.

Integrating Satellite Data Into Meso‐Scale Habitat Modeling for Non‐Perennial Rivers and Streams

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Non‐perennial rivers and streams (NPRs) are widespread and projected to become more common, yet effective tools for their characterization and management remain limited. This study introduces a novel approach to assess aquatic habitat availability in NPRs, applied to a regulated reach of the Sangone River (Northern Italy).

Morphological and biomechanical adaptations of larval mandibles in Trichoptera (Insecta)

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 85-114, March 2026.
Mandible morphology differs between predators and grazers: predators show pointed incisors, grazers sharp edges and setae. Mechanical properties depend on cuticle tanning, not elemental reinforcement. Functional mandible types reflect feeding strategies, with predators specialized for prey capture and grazers for scraping and collecting.

The power of the past: materializing collective memory at early medieval lordly centres

Early Medieval Europe, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 34-69, February 2026.
The repurposing of earlier sites and monuments is an enduringly popular theme in early medieval archaeology, but in England it has attracted little interest among Late Saxon and early post‐Conquest studies. From the tenth century, however, an increasingly prevalent pattern is discernible of secular lords locating their power centres in relation to ...
