Moving in Cycles: Explaining the Failure of Militarization to Address Illegal Mining in Ghana

open access: yesPolitics &Policy, Volume 54, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Mining contributes to Ghana's economic growth but also imposes significant social costs—land dispossession and unemployment—which have fueled the rise of illegal mining (galamsey). Galamsey, which intensified during the commodity boom of the 2010s, provides livelihoods while simultaneously worsening environmental degradation and social ...

Estimating the Stature of an Ancient North Andean Population From Articular Breadths and Diaphyseal Diameters: An Extension of Anzellini and Toyne (2020) Aproximando la Estatura de Poblaciones Norandinas Antiguas Utilizando Medidas de lo Ancho de Articulaciones y Los Diámetros de la Diáfisis: Una Extension de Anzellini y Toyne (2020)

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Stature estimation of skeletal remains is mostly dependent on the lengths of long bones, but these are often unavailable in fragmented or commingled assemblages. To overcome this obstacle, we present an extension of the unisex stature estimation models for high‐altitude Andean populations presented by Anzellini and Toyne (2020) using femoral ...

Unveiling human–wildlife interactions in the context of livestock grazing abandonment and the return of large carnivores, ungulates and vultures: A stakeholder perspective

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2078-2090, July 2026.
Abstract Pastoral practices remain a widespread economic activity across European mountain regions. However, the viability of this activity may be threatened by the recovery of large wild vertebrates associated with passive rewilding, leading to the so‐called human–wildlife conflicts.

More pumas (Puma concolor) does not change perceptions: The mismatched response of ranchers to the presence of a top carnivore

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2148-2161, July 2026.
Abstract Human‐wildlife conflicts (HWCs) are one of the most critical conservation challenges worldwide. Large carnivores are frequently at the centre of these conflicts because of the perceived and real threats they pose to livestock and human safety.

High and dry: Environmental conditions drive opportunities for disease transmission in desert bighorn sheep

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
By using probabilistic models to predict contacts as a function of spatially and temporally varying environmental conditions, we show that population‐level conditions at the time of disease introduction can structure opportunities for transmission within each population.

Understanding key population drivers of the spotted wing Drosophila in cultivated and natural areas in the Andes

open access: yesScientific Reports
The spotted-wing drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii (Matsumara) (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is a serious global pest. Understanding the drivers for its success is fundamental to develop sustainable management tools.

Care Without Justice: Moral Obligation and Food Politics in an Authoritarian Moment

open access: yesAntipode, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Contemporary food politics is often grounded in a normative alignment of care and justice, in which attentiveness to vulnerability, embodiment, and lived experience is understood to reinforce commitments to equity, redistribution, and institutional responsibility. This synthesis has been central to food justice scholarship.

Three closely linked X‐chromosomal genes potentially control sex determination in Cannabis sativa

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 505-522, July 2026.
Summary Sex determination mechanisms in dioecious plants remain poorly understood yet offer an excellent model system to study genetic changes underlying morphological evolution. We investigated the genetic basis of sex determination in Cannabis sativa, combining quantitative trait locus mapping in a segregating population, comparative transcriptomics ...
