A partial envelope approach for modelling multivariate spatial‐temporal data
Canadian Journal of Statistics, Volume 54, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract In the new era of big data, modelling multivariate spatial‐temporal data is a challenging task due to both the high dimensionality of the features and complex associations among the responses across different locations and time points.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.This study reconstructs long‐term vegetation dynamics at the boreal–temperate forest ecotone in eastern Canada using soil charcoal, pollen records, and forest inventories. Results reveal a delayed expansion of thermophilous tree species and a late borealization of the landscape in relation to climate change, alongside recent stand‐scale shifts driven ...

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Ecological niche models (ENMs) are commonly used to predict species' potential distributions across space and time, allowing researchers and practitioners to assess invasion risk, estimate the impacts of future climate change, and reconstruct past distributions.

The Omnicausal Model Reveals the Highly Polyfactorial Nature of Complex Diseases
Genetic Epidemiology, Volume 50, Issue 6, September 2026.ABSTRACT Mendelian randomization (MR) is a human genetics method for inferring causal relationships between risk factors and diseases. A common focus of MR studies has been on the causal inference of a single risk factor on a single disease. This has led to the successful discovery of numerous causal risk factors for disease.

Fine‐scale spatial variation in eastern grey squirrel melanism across a complex urban landscape
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 9, Page 1778-1792, September 2026.By sampling 197 parks, the study demonstrates how natural geography creates divergence within cities. The findings reveal that the St. Lawrence River and its tributaries act as barriers, disrupting urban melanism clines in grey squirrels. Ultimately, the research indicates that natural features still dictate evolutionary rules in anthropogenic ...

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 852-868, September 2026.Why do some women choose to submit to their husbands in marriage? In anthropology, the paradox of ‘chosen submission’ has famously been explored by Saba Mahmood. Her work amongst Egyptian women donning the veil in the Islamic da'wa movement spotlights the notion of ‘piety’ to explore how devotion to God can act as a powerful motivator of human ...

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 967-982, September 2026.This essay introduces the themed cluster of articles, ‘Towards a linguistic anthropology of AI’. The advent of artificial intelligence (AI), especially in large language models capable of producing coherent discourse mimicking conversational interaction, is exerting unprecedented pressure on prevailing concepts of language, personhood, and the human ...

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 1003-1021, September 2026.Amid the general sense of worry that large language models will soon drown out human voices, some researchers are optimistic that machine learning will allow humans to listen to and understand animal voices to an unprecedented extent. As part of a broader project aimed at interspecies communication, a loosely connected set of animal behaviourists, AI ...

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 1022-1039, September 2026.What does it take to turn a tool into a talking tool and that into an ultimate authority? Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in its diverse forms, such as large language models (LLMs), is celebrated as a useful tool. But LLM‐based conversational agents, or chatbots, the software applications through which ordinary users are likely to engage ...

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 983-1002, September 2026.Contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are often presumed to be capable of revealing unmediated truths about the world, including the truths language might hold, echoing the long‐standing assertion that language's primary function is to directly translate reality.
