Can the mid-Holocene provide suitable models for rewilding the landscape in Britain? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Palaeoecologists have been encouraging us to think about the relevance of the Holocene fossil record for nature conservation for many years (e.g. Buckland 1993) but this information seems slow to filter through to the conservation community.

A limpet's eye view of post‐glacial isostasy: fixed biological indicators provide new sea‐level index points for the Mid‐Holocene relative highstand in eastern Northern Ireland

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Bioerosional scars made by limpets (Patella) on a cliff in Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland, indicate a Mid‐Holocene RSL of +7.8±0.55 m relative to local mid‐tide level today. This is higher than previous empirical data for the region and extrapolated levels from raised shorelines in Scotland but consistent with some recent GIA models.

Wealth inequality and epidemics in the Republic of Venice (1400–1800)

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This article analyses wealth inequality in the Republic of Venice during 1400–1800. The availability of a large database of homogeneous inequality measurements allows us to produce the most in‐depth study of the factors affecting inequality at the local level available thus far for any preindustrial society.

Ancestral Irrigation and Women's Political Empowerment

open access: yesKyklos, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper advances the hypothesis and establishes empirically that the adoption of irrigation agriculture during the preindustrial period is a predictor of contemporary cross‐country variation in women's political empowerment. Countries whose populations historically relied on irrigation agriculture as their primary subsistence mode tend to ...

Living in the Mycelial World

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

The Dismal Harvest: The Uneven Landscapes of AI in Agriculture

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.
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

Detection of Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Babesia aktasi in a wild bezoar goat (Capra aegagrus): Overlap with domestic goat strains

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 190-197, March 2026.
This study provides the first molecular detection of tick‐borne pathogens in Capra aegagrus. Genetic analysis reveals similarities between Babesia aktasi and Anaplasma phagocytophilum strains in bezoar and domestic goats, indicating potential pathogen exchange.
