The Scholar Imprisoned: Young‐Bok Shin's Decolonial Thought Against (Sub) Imperialisms in East Asia

Sociological Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article reads Young‐Bok Shin (1941–2016) as a decolonial thinker who theorized transformative worldmaking from the standpoint of the oppressed, rooted in the historical experiences of East Asia. Against the (sub)imperial “logic of sameness” that structures colonial modernity in his social world, Shin advances gongbu (studying) as a ...

Seismic structure of rifting in the Okinawa Trough, an active backarc basin of the Ryukyu (Nansei-Shoto) island arc–trench system

Earth, Planets and Space, 2019
The Okinawa Trough, to the southwest of Kyusyu, Japan, is an active backarc basin of the Ryukyu (Nansei-Shoto) island arc–trench system caused by the Philippine Sea plate subduction. Unlike other backarc basins around Japan, the Okinawa Trough, ~ 1000 km

Assessment of the peak tsunami amplitude associated with a large earthquake occurring along the southernmost Ryukyu subduction zone in the region of Taiwan [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018
The southernmost portion of the Ryukyu Trench near the island of Taiwan potentially generates tsunamigenic earthquakes with magnitudes from 7.5 to 8.7 through shallow rupture. The fault model for this potential region dips 10° northward with a rupture

Consistent Buzz‐Pollination Posture Suggests Division of Labour Between Dimorphic Stamens in Bredia hirsuta (Melastomataceae) on Okinawa‐Jima Island, Japan

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Bredia hirsuta, a small pollen flower, is buzz‐pollinated by Amegilla dulcifera in a posture separating ventral gripping from dorsal stigma contact. The bee grips short‐stamen ventrally, while the stigma contacts the dorsal abdomen near long‐stamen anther tips.

Contrasting Dispersal Histories Shape Distinct Evolutionary Trajectories Between Malesian and Pantropical Talipariti (Malvaceae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Talipariti (Malvaceae) comprises two lineages with contrasting geographic ranges across Malesia: a pantropical sea hibiscus group and a Papuan group restricted to New Guinea and adjacent islands. Using phylogenomics, divergence‐time estimation, and quantitative biogeographical modelling applied to herbarium‐derived genomic data, we demonstrate that the

Comparative Morphology and Homology of the Hyoid Apparatus and Associated Muscles in Beloniform Fishes (Teleostei: Atherinomorpha)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 8, August 2026.
Homology of the branchiostegals rays in atherinomorph fishes demonstrated by the position of the rays relative to the interhyoideus muscle. In beloniform outgroups, above, the two groups of branchiostegal rays are separated by the interhyoideus. In beloniform fishes, below, only one group of branchiostegal rays is present.

Event Deposits Recorded Over the Past 800 kyr in IODP Hole U1433A (South China Sea): Implications of a Revised Methodology for Chronology and Paleoclimate Reconstruction

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Instantaneous event deposits such as turbidites, debrites, and slumps are common and frequently occur in marginal seas. These instantaneous deposits represent seconds to days in duration, and can therefore significantly impact age‐depth models and interpretation of paleoclimate history based on thick sedimentary sequences recovered in deep ...

Seismic Constraints on Igneous Intrusions and Fluid/Gas Distribution in a Continental Back‐Arc System: Evidence From the Yaeyama Rift in the Southern Okinawa Trough

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The geometry and distribution of igneous intrusions, which define melt source locations and record syn‐emplacement stress conditions, are essential for understanding tectonic and magmatic processes associated with crustal extension. However, in back‐arc settings along continental margins, structural constraints on these features remain poorly ...

Male Dimorphism in a New Species of Cockroach Nocticola glenniei sp. nov. (Blattodea: Nocticolidae) Commensal Within Burrows of Macropanesthia rhinoceros Saussure, 1895 (Blattodea: Blaberidae)

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Polyphenism, where individuals of the same species exhibit distinct physical or behavioural forms, is widespread across insects. Although well studied in charismatic beetles and eusocial insects such as termites and bees, only a few minor cases of male dimorphism have been reported in non‐termite cockroaches. Here, we describe a new species of

Highlands, Islands and the Evolutionary Impact of Founder Event Dispersal in Sinomicrurus Coralsnakes

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Island archipelagos and montane regions of East and Southeast Asia represent some of the world's most biodiverse yet poorly understood biogeographic systems. Whether regional diversity accumulates primarily through in situ speciation, dispersal‐mediated range shifts, or some combination of these processes remains unclear.
