‘Chrystalline Talk’: Thomas Browne's Poetics of Concretion and Mineral Plain Style

open access: yesRenaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article charts the figuration, both material and rhetorical, of mineral bodies in early modern natural philosophy, paying particular attention to the second book of Thomas Browne's Pseudodoxia Epidemica (1646). It argues that concretions (stony calculi and crystals formed through the aggregation of physical matter) make manifest a mineral

Formation process of the gravel‐dominated deposit from the 2011 Tohoku‐oki tsunami in Ofunato, northeastern Japan, inferred by integrating sedimentology and tsunami modelling

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tsunami deposits serve as geological records of past events and are essential for understanding the occurrence and dynamics of tsunamis. However, conventional research has largely focused on sandy and boulder deposits, leaving gravel‐dominated tsunami deposits comparatively underexplored; furthermore, their characteristics and formation ...

Anthropocentric and ecocentric worldviews: Student resilience, fear, and optimal experience in an undergraduate course

open access: yesNatural Sciences Education, Volume 55, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Individual worldviews provide a lens through which people interpret and operationalize their perspectives about the natural world. The goal of this research was to better understand student experiences in a university course that examined worldviews using film.

Thermal Stress Is Associated With Fragmentation of Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica Meadows

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
By combining a physiological model of cumulative thermal stress with AI‐based seagrass mapping, we show that chronic sublethal warming is associated with fragmentation of Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica meadows and increased regression risk by 2100. ABSTRACT Posidonia oceanica meadows, which underpin Mediterranean coastal ecosystems, are undergoing ...

High Early Embryo Mortality and Low Hatching Success Observed in Aldabra Giant Tortoise Populations

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This preliminary study provides the first population‐level assessment of fertilisation and hatching success in the Aldabra giant tortoise across natural and translocated populations in Seychelles, revealing low and highly variable hatching success—particularly in translocated populations.

Stony Coral Single Cell Isolation v1

open access: yes
This protocol was optimized in the Davies lab at Boston University for use with the facultatively symbiotic stony coral Oculina arbuscula. The protocol is designed to isolate live cells for downstream use in 10X single-cell RNA-sequencing.

Abundant interactions and feedbacks between aquatic deoxygenation and the other planetary boundaries suggest “unsafe” levels of oxygen loss with far‐reaching impacts

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Oxygen is critical for nearly all life on Earth, including aquatic species that breathe dissolved oxygen in both freshwater and marine systems. The rapid, global, and anthropogenic loss of dissolved oxygen known as “aquatic deoxygenation” threatens life in these environments, the human communities that depend on them, and Earth system ...

Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) destabilizes the coral microbiome

open access: yes
Abstract Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is a rapidly spreading lethal coral disease, the etiology of which remains poorly understood. In this study, using deep metagenomic sequencing, we investigate microbial and viral community dynamics associated with SCTLD progression in the Caribbean stony coral
