The Meaning of Mangabey Molars (And Premolars)

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The postcanine teeth of mangabeys (members of Cercocebus and Lophocebus) have figured prominently in discussions about the relationship between hard‐object feeding and dental form. Grey‐cheeked mangabeys (Lophocebus albigena) and sooty mangabeys (Cercocebus atys) both have thickly enameled posterior teeth.

Needle‐shaped diatom frustules in food as a possible promoter of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in coastal southeastern China: A pilot study

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 11, Page 2822-2828, 1 June 2026.
What's new? Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) incidence varies worldwide, suggesting that local environmental and dietary factors are influential. In coastal southeastern China, food products derived from small filter‐feeding fish are important dietary components, though their consumption increased ESCC risk.

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

Morphological variations of lobate phytoliths from grasses in China and the south‐eastern United States

Diversity and Distributions, 2002
Abstract. Phytolith analysis of grasses is a useful tool in palaeoenvironmental and archaeobotanical research. Lobate phytolith is one of the most important morphotypes of grass phytoliths. This study describes morphological variations of diagnostic lobate phytoliths and produces a tentative classification scheme based on 250 modern grass species from ...

Traversing the effects of ploidy changes in different Eragrostis curvula genotypes through high‐throughput RNA sequencing

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Polyploidization has played a key role in plant genome evolution. Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness, a perennial forage grass species of the Poaceae family, is an excellent model for investigating genome duplication due to its natural variation in ploidy levels.

A Review of the Unintended Consequences of Biochar in Various Applications

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
Biochar is widely promoted as a sustainable material for applications ranging from soil amendment to energy storage and construction materials. This review critically examines the often‐overlooked and unintended consequences of biochar, including variability in properties, safety risks, and performance limitations.

A Millennium of Coastside Occupation. Micromorphological Insights From the Indigenous Site of Las Estacas Cave, Tenerife

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT The archaeological site of Las Estacas Cave (NW Tenerife, Canary Islands) preserves some of the earliest human occupations in Tenerife, dating to the 2nd century CE, spanning the entire pre‐European time range up to the 15th century. Using soil micromorphology, this study applies a geoarchaeological approach to reconstruct site formation ...
