Species traits mediate terrestrial mammal density responses to human impacts

Ecography, EarlyView.
Human activities are reshaping ecosystems, but their effects on species population density remain poorly understood. Most studies focus on species presence–absence, thus limiting insight into how anthropogenic pressures affect population density. Emerging evidence suggests that responses of natural populations to human disturbance are highly variable ...

Parasitoid insects unveil complex patterns of functional change across elevational bands

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate change is rapidly reshaping how insects interact with their environment, potentially disrupting ecosystem complexity and essential functioning. While functional homogenisation has been extensively investigated for charismatic insect taxa, particularly pollinators, the response of parasitoids remains largely overlooked.

Decoupling environmental suitability from realized recruitment through ontogenetic environmental filtering in a long‐lived Mediterranean palm species

Ecography, EarlyView.
Long‐lived plants facing anthropogenic disturbance often exhibit recruitment failure despite persistent reproductive adults, generating extinction debt masked by longevity. However, whether adult presence reliably reflects environmental suitability for recruitment remains unclear.

Techno‐Economic Assessment of Large‐Scale Renewable Energy Systems: A Case Study in the Gulf Cooperation Council

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A consistent 3 GW hybrid solar–wind configuration was assessed across five GCC locations, revealing substantial regional differences in energy yield and economic performance. Saudi Arabia and Oman achieved the highest generation and lowest LCOE, while the systems delivered substantial CO2 emission reductions across the region.

Woven Words: Women and Classic Maya Hieroglyphic Writing

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract What survives of Classic Maya (250–925 CE) scribal tradition suggests that production and use of hieroglyphs were dominated by elite men. Ancient texts and imagery, as well as ethnohistorical sources, overwhelmingly position males as agents of writing.
