The Late Agricultural Development of Central Arabian Oases—Archaeobotanical and Archaeozoological Studies of the al‐Kharj Oasis

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 317-355, November 2026.
ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.

Evolution in arid environments: the role of betalains, succulence, and medullary bundles

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 3, Page 1250-1268, November 2026.
Overview of the study system. Summary The flowering plant clade Caryophyllales includes many succulent species that grow in drought conditions. Many Caryophyllales species also have betalain pigmentation and medullary bundles, both of which have been linked to stress tolerance, albeit with less precise functional characterisation.

Asynchronous Changes in Tempo‐Spatial Patterns of the Younger Dryas Hydroclimate in Northeastern China

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract The Younger Dryas (YD, 12,900–11,700 years before present) event offers a key opportunity to investigate climate system responses to abrupt perturbations, yet regional hydroclimate responses in northeastern China remain debated. Here we reconstruct the spatial fingerprint of YD hydroclimate variability using a comprehensive fossil pollen data ...

DNA metabarcoding reveals key floral resources for native pollinators in post‐fire landscapes

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 7, October 2026.
Abstract Wildfires are a natural disturbance in dry ponderosa pine forest ecosystems, and are increasing in frequency and severity across western North America. The effects of wildfire on biotic and abiotic conditions have important implications for higher trophic levels, including native bees. We sought to quantify the responses of flowering plants to

Confirmation of the Tibetan Brown Bear (Ursus arctos pruinosus) in Central Nepal Based on Genetic and Camera‐Trap Evidence

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Using non‐invasive genetic analyses and systematic camera‐trap surveys, we provide the first genetic confirmation of the Tibetan brown bear (Ursus arctos pruinosus) in Nepal. Phylogenetic analyses of mitochondrial DNA placed all Nepalese samples within the Tibetan Plateau lineage, distinct from the Himalayan brown bear (U. a. isabellinus).
