Danger versus fear: A key to understanding biophobia
People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 847-859, April 2025.Abstract Which animals do people fear most, and why? Exploring animal fears in humans is crucial for understanding reactions in the face of danger, addressing both innate and learned determinants. Because of the central role they are thought to have played in primate evolution, most studies have focused on the fear of snakes.

Geoarchaeology, Volume 40, Issue 2, March/April 2025.ABSTRACT Although the primary purpose of agricultural terracing can be assumed to be food production, it has been suggested that a secondary purpose was the control of soil erosion. In this paper, we explore this thesis with multi‐proxy data from the TerrACE project, which studied 20 sites in a latitudinal transect across Europe.

The Structuring Role of Rhodolith Beds on Meiobenthic Communities in the Mediterranean Sea
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2025.ABSTRACT Rhodolith beds are globally distributed structurally complex habitats formed by the aggregation of unattached forms of non‐geniculate coralline red algae. They provide key ecosystem functions and services, supporting feeding, settlement and nursery provision for several species.

Late Ordovician ironstone and its relation to ocean redox instability, climate and glaciation
Sedimentology, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 631-665, February 2025.Abstract The Upper Ordovician (Katian) Neda Formation, a phosphatic ironstone, records a widespread but short‐lived shift to ferruginous waters across a vast epicontinental area. Lithofacies and stratigraphic reappraisal indicate that Neda ironstone deposition occurred on a storm‐dominated ramp when coastal upwelling emplaced eutrophic ferruginous ...

A 300 kyr record of past hydroclimate change from alluvial fans in the southern Central Andes
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 1, January 2025.We dated alluvial‐fan deposits at the Sierra de Aconquija in northwestern Argentina. The alluvial fans aggraded and incised in phase with known hydroclimate changes throughout the last ~300 kyr. Abstract Alluvial fans are hypothesised to record signals of past hydroclimate changes in their depositional chronologies and slopes.

Using Radiogenic Noble Gas Nuclides to Identify and Characterize Rock Fracturing
Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2025.Abstract Fracture‐released radiogenic noble gas nuclides are used to identify locations and constrain the volume of new fracture creation during subsurface detonations. Real‐time, in situ noble gases and reactive gases were monitored using a field‐deployed mass spectrometer and automated sampling system in a multilevel borehole array.

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 1, January 2025.Abstract Hispaniola accommodates a significant portion of the present‐day convergence between Caribbean and North American plates. Located in southern Hispaniola, the Neogene Enriquillo basin is bounded by the Neiba and Bahoruco mountain ranges. The role of active individual faults and fault systems in this basin is not well understood, particularly ...

Basin Research, Volume 37, Issue 1, January–February 2025.ABSTRACT Orogenic wedges juxtapose tectonic units that originated far from each other, and tracing these back to their origin is often difficult. We have studied two contrasting serpentinite–sediment associations of the Alpine‐Apennine orogenic wedge of eastern Elba Island with the help of a detrital zircon study of the sediments and a geochemical ...

Sedimentology, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 275-329, January 2025.ABSTRACT Fluvial facies models based on river planform are flawed and not fully fit for purpose. An alternative approach to classifying fluvial deposits is based on river discharge characteristics. A recent paper showed that the co‐efficient of variance of annual peak discharge (CVQp) correlates well with the characteristics of preserved alluvium for a
