Agrarian counterpoint

American Ethnologist, EarlyView.
Abstract In Colombia's northeastern borderlands, agrarian economies shape how disease risk and stigma are understood and managed. As shown in ethnographic fieldwork in and around the Catatumbo region, cutaneous leishmaniasis—a sandfly‐transmitted disease that produces chronic skin lesions—appears in two radically different guises across adjacent ...

What's in the Bin? A Waste Audit of an Australian Tertiary Ear, Nose and Throat Outpatient Clinic

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Healthcare contributes 4.4% of global emissions. Climate change contributes to vector‐borne diseases, food insecurity and morbidity and mortality associated with extreme weather. Ear, nose and throat (ENT) outpatient clinics are particularly resource intensive, yet their environmental impact has not been quantified.

What can lithics tell us about food production during the transition to farming? Exploring harvesting practices and cultural changes during the neolithic in Southwest Asia: a view from Qminas (north‐western Syria)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the continuity and change in harvesting practices between the Late Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B (LPPNB) and the Early Pottery Neolithic at Qminas, north‐western Levant, through a traceological analysis of flint sickles. By combining qualitative traceological analysis with quantitative functional approaches, we demonstrate that ...

Ring‐Width Dendrochronology, Isotopic Dendrochronology and Radiocarbon Dating of Timbers From the Spire Scaffold of Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire, England

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ten timbers from the spire scaffold of Salisbury Cathedral were dated using a combination of ring‐width dendrochronology, stable oxygen isotopic dendrochronology and radiocarbon dating. Seven timbers were coeval and assigned a combined empirical felling date range of 1352–1378, which was further refined to 1351–1359 (OxCal 95.4%).

Behavioral and demographic effects of open‐pit mining on Central Mountain Caribou in British Columbia

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
The demographic manifestation of mining effects on caribou, a species listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, has been disputed. We characterized a cascade of events for caribou associated with open‐pit coal mining beginning with maladaptive behavior responses leading to negative demographic outcomes for the affected caribou ...

Alternative Food for Litter‐Inhabiting Predators Decreases Thrips Densities and Above‐Ground Plant Damage

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We studied predatory soil mites that control the thrips Frankliniella occidentalis. Thrips densities were significantly reduced by the predator Cosmolaelaps sabelisi. It presumably feeds on prepupae and pupae in the soil and on larvae aboveground.
