Ecological and Hydrological Modulation of Land Surface Temperature in the East Asian Monsoon Margin During Pliocene‐Pleistocene Global Cooling

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract The response of terrestrial climate to future warming remains debated. The Pliocene, with CO2 levels similar to today, is an important analog for the future. The East Asian monsoon marginal region is one of the most climate sensitive regions on Earth. Based on contemporaneous aeolian sediments and aquatic‐influenced alluvial sediments from the

Effects of long-term soil erosion on phytolith assemblages along a catena in a temperate agricultural landscape

Geoderma
Agricultural landscapes are exposed to soil erosion by water, wind, and tillage. The erosion-driven lateral translocation of soil has been recognized as a major threat to global soil health and food production.

Silicon Fertilizer Application Promotes Phytolith Accumulation in Rice Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
In this study, a pot experiment was designed to elucidate the effect of varying dosages of silicon (Si) fertilizer application in Si-deficient and enriched paddy soils on rice phytolith and carbon (C) bio-sequestration within phytoliths (PhytOC).

Dental Microwear Evidence of Holocene Dietary Variability in the Argentinian Pampas and Paraná Delta

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 191, Issue 1, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study explores the subsistence strategies of Middle‐to‐Late Holocene human populations in the Argentinean Pampas and Paraná River Delta by analyzing dental microwear patterns. Materials and Methods We examined occlusal molar microwear textures of individuals from the Middle and Late Holocene recovered from 12 archaeological ...

In‐vitro puncture experiment using alligator teeth tracks the formation of dental microwear and its association with hardness of the diet

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2424-2441, September 2026.
Abstract With the development of dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA), there has been an increasing application of DMTA for dietary estimation in extant and fossil reptiles, including dinosaurs. While numerous feeding experiments exist for herbivorous mammals, knowledge remains limited for carnivorous reptiles. This study aimed to qualitatively and

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part II Deriving instrument‐specific correction equations for meta‐analyses using published data

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2455-2475, September 2026.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has emerged as a valuable method for investigating the feeding ecology of vertebrates. Over the past decade, three‐dimensional topographic data from microscopic regions of tooth surfaces have been collected, and surface texture parameters have been published for both extant and fossil species.

Stability of phytoliths in the archaeological record: a dissolution study of modern and fossil phytoliths

Journal of Archaeological Science, 2011
Opaline phytoliths are important microfossils used in archaeological and ecological research. Relatively little is known about the stability of phytoliths after burial. Under alkaline pH conditions they can dissolve, and mechanical disturbances can cause a loss of their more delicate appendages.

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part I Reproducibility of diet inference using different instruments

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2442-2454, September 2026.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has become a well‐established method for dietary inference and reconstruction in both extant and extinct mammals and other tetrapods. As the volume of available data continues to grow, researchers could benefit from combining published data from various studies to perform meta‐analyses.
