A Roadmap for Using Hybridisation Capture–Based Target Enrichment of Ancient Environmental DNA in Palaeoecology

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Recovering ancient DNA from environmental samples is transforming the way we understand historical ecosystems. While high‐throughput sequencing of the total DNA in environmental samples (shotgun metagenomic sequencing) reveals the taxonomic contents of these samples, the genetic signals of some taxa (e.g., eukaryotes) can be weak compared to ...

Evolutionary Origin of Ocular Melanoma: Associations With rs12913832 G Allele Frequency and Latitude

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2026.
The rs12913832 derived (G) allele frequency (blue‐eye allele) was a markedly stronger predictor of ocular melanoma incidence than geographic latitude, with approximately 92% of the latitude effect mediated through allele frequency. These findings indicate that pigmentation‐related genetic variation contributes substantially to global differences in ...

Magnetic Fabric: A Geophysical Approach for Identifying China's Neolithic Rammed Earth

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Accurate identification of rammed‐earth remains is essential for understanding early social complexity in Neolithic China. However, scientific methods for identifying rammed‐earth materials in Chinese prehistoric archeology remain limited, and identification still rely largely on field observations.

Fats, Fire and Bronze Age Funerary Rites: Organic Residue Analysis of Wide Horizontal Rim Vessels From Burial Contexts in Northwest Portugal

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 298-310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents the first GC‐MS–based analyses of wide horizontal rim vessels with well‐defined funerary contexts, from Middle Bronze Age Portugal (Quinta do Amorim 2 and Pego). Organic residues from two vessels revealed ruminant fats and plant oils, alongside molecular markers of heat exposure.

Ancient Migratory Events in the Middle East: New Clues from the Y-Chromosome Variation of Modern Iranians

, 2012
Knowledge of high resolution Y-chromosome haplogroup diversification within Iran provides important geographic context regarding the spread and compartmentalization of male lineages in the Middle East and southwestern Asia.

About the Cultural Affiliation of the Neolithic Monuments at the Kama River Mouth

Археология евразийских степей
The paper deals with the issues of the cultural affiliation of the Neolithic assemblages at the Kama River mouth. The stroked and combed pottery assemblages identified here were initially attributed by A.Kh. Khalikov to the Volga-Kama culture. But, later,

Multivariate trait profiling and genetic diversity in a global foxtail millet germplasm panel

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 1077-1088, June 2026.
Four elite foxtail millet groups discovered from 260 accessions: perfect for breeding climate‐resilient, high‐yielding dual‐purpose crops. Abstract Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.), known for its climate resilience and dual‐purpose utility, is underutilized in breeding programs despite its agricultural potential.

The Dismal Harvest: The Uneven Landscapes of AI in Agriculture

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In this intervention, I examine artificial intelligence (AI) in agriculture through a political ecology lens, analysing how promises of productivity, efficiency, and sustainability take shape across uneven postcolonial landscapes. Building on feminist and critical agrarian perspectives, I focus on the material relations of farming to show that
