Revisiting and Improving Soil Surface Resistance Schemes for Land Surface Modeling

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Accurate representation of soil evaporation is critical for understanding land‐atmosphere interactions and improving climate simulations, where soil surface resistance plays a key regulatory role. However, existing schemes differ substantially and lack systematic evaluation.

Dust Loading Increases During Topsoil Flash Droughts Under Rapid Surface Drying and Vegetation Stress

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Using satellite‐derived dust optical depth (DOD), reanalysis meteorology, and a global topsoil flash drought (TSFD) inventory for 2003–2022, we find that TSFD events are associated with increased dust loading at the global scale. During TSFD events, 44.7% of land pixels exhibited positive DOD anomalies.

Context‐Dependent Reactive Antipredator Behavior of Chacma Baboons (Papio ursinus griseipes) Amidst Predator Recovery

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 10, October 2026.
Chacma baboons exhibited context‐dependent flight and vigilance behavior in response to experimental predator vocalizations in Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park. Reactions were strongest in juveniles and in individuals with fewer otherbaboons in frame and in response to leopard and wild dog cues, and weakened with increased exposure to predators ...

Environmental Context of Hominin Foot Evolution

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 191, Issue 2, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study investigates the environmental contexts that influenced the evolution of hominin foot morphology, focusing on when, where, and under what conditions key synapomorphies evolved. We test whether shifts in ecological conditions are associated with changes in locomotor function.
