Landslide susceptibility assessment using hybrid geospatial, frequency ratio, and AHP models in Souk Ahras province, Northeastern of Algeria

Scientific Reports
This study looks at how likely landslides are to happen in Souk Ahras, eastern Algeria. This area is known for having unstable slopes and landslides that damage property and crops and move people out of their homes.

Holocene vegetation dynamics of Grande Terre (Kerguelen Islands) inferred from sedimentary ancient DNA

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While the Antarctic region has experienced significant climatic changes over the Holocene, few high‐resolution records have examined their effects on the local biota. In order to understand past ecological shifts and forecast future changes, it is important to obtain high‐resolution palaeoecological records from this region.

An integrated forest‐to‐market approach to promote lesser‐known timber species (LKTS) in a domestic timber market in the Congo Basin

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
In the Congo Basin, domestic timber markets account for ~40% of timber consumption, yet demand is concentrated on a few high‐value species also sought after on international markets, raising concerns about their long‐term availability. We combine market, wood, and forest data to assess the potential of lesser‐known timber species (LKTS) to support a ...

Burned habitats facilitate predation and lead to long‐term reductions in prey success

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
By evaluating the effects of burned habitats on the habitat selection and movement responses of cougars and mule deer, cougar kill sites, and mule deer reproduction, the authors find that increasingly large, severe burns are diminishing herbivore reproductive success, potentially due to advantages for predators created by burned landscapes.

Modelling Heterogeneous Dependence in a Copula‐Linked By‐Production Frontier: Evidence From French Dairy Farms

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In agriculture, production technologies are often characterised by non‐linearities and stochastic dependence between outputs, particularly between desirable and undesirable outputs. This paper combines the copula‐based semi‐parametric framework for modelling heterogeneous dependence with the by‐production stochastic frontier approach and ...

Equal before time: on the sensory suspension of accumulated time in Sichuan, China Égaux devant le temps : suspension sensorielle du temps accumulé au Sichuan (Chine)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Food and alcohol indulgence, along with tea‐drinking, gambling, and gossip, are integral to a characteristically Sichuanese ethos of ‘life enjoyment’ (xiangshou shenghuo). Beyond mere pleasure, sensory, ludic, and comic experiences temporarily strip participants of both their formal and subjective qualities.
