Bridging the Late Antique Gap in Northwest Arabia: New Archaeological Evidence on the Occupation of Wādī al‐Qurā (al‐ʿUlā [AlUla], Saudi Arabia) Between the Third and Seventh Centuries CE

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2019, the Dadan Archaeological Project (CNRS/RCU/AFALULA) identified a Late Antique village 1 km south of ancient Dadan in the al‐ʿUlā valley (northwest Saudi Arabia). Three excavation seasons at this site (2021–2023) have uncovered a massive building constructed in the late third or early fourth cent.

The Late Agricultural Development of Central Arabian Oases—Archaeobotanical and Archaeozoological Studies of the al‐Kharj Oasis

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using olive mill wastewater and olive stones extract and testing their antimicrobial activities against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis

Nano Express
Plant mediated synthesis of silver nanoparticles is eco-friendly and of low cost. The synthesis involves a reduction of silver ions and is controlled by several independent factors. In this work, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were successfully synthesized

Genomic Assessment of Reintroduced African Wild Dogs Informs Conservation Translocations

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Few reintroduction and translocation programs incorporate genomic assessments into management planning, despite ongoing debate over how founder individuals should be selected. Here, we assess the genomic composition of reintroduced African wild dog (Lycaon pictus) populations in private reserves in South Africa, comparing them with a free‐roaming ...

Taxonomic, Phylogenetic and Functional Diversity of Mammals Across a Nationwide Protected Area Network

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Using camera‐trap data from 26 protected across Tanzania, we show that greater landscape heterogeneity and stronger protection are associated with higher mammal species richness and, in turn, functionally and phylogenetically richer mammal assemblages. Greater landscape heterogeneity appears to favour generalist species while stronger protection seems ...

Human Recreation and Fire History Shape Landscape Connectivity for an Endangered Forest Carnivore

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Roads and trails can impede wildlife movement, but their permeability varies with human use and fire history. We combined GPS telemetry from 45 endangered southern Sierra Nevada fishers (Pekania pennanti) with smartphone‐derived human mobility data to estimate crossing probability across road and trail segments. Fishers were about 2.5 times more likely
