Gone Batty: A Newly Adapted Morphological Methodology for Bat Cranial Remains Within an Archaeological Setting

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In comparison to other species within faunal assemblages, bats (Order: Chiroptera) have been overlooked, especially in Papua New Guinea, resulting in limited traditional archaeozoological methods. The analysis of bats within an archaeological setting in Papua New Guinea will allow for a greater understanding of bat cranial morphology and the ...

Irrigation using slightly saline water from emerging desalination technologies as a solution to short‐term drought

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
With global weather patterns becoming more extreme and unpredictable, sourcing reliable irrigation water is vital for improving food security and conserving drinking water in drought‐prone areas. Emerging desalination technologies, which are still in the development phase, could potentially provide large quantities of slightly saline water for ...

How safe are peat‐free growing media? An exploration of plant pathogen risks to the horticultural industry and recommendations for risk mitigation

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The UK's horticultural industry is shifting from reliance on unsustainable peat‐based growing media to products that contain alternative constituents, including coir, bark, wood fibre and composted green waste. Some peat‐alternatives carry an elevated risk of harbouring plant pathogens, including the potential to introduce novel pathogens from overseas,

Tracing holotype trajectories: Mapping the movement of the most valuable herbarium specimens

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Global efforts to protect biodiversity depend on fair access to key plant specimens. This study examines the distribution of 119,361 holotypes—unique herbarium specimens used to formally describe new plant species. By linking collection and storage data, we found that holotypes are increasingly held closer to their places of origin, particularly in ...
