God Knows Best

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Arabic phrase Allāhu a‘lam—“God knows best”—is used frequently in everyday Muslim speech and to conclude seemingly assertive statements or fatwas. At its heart lies the recognition that God is the All‐Knowing, whereas humans know next to nothing. Reflecting on this recognition, this essay discusses Sufi refusals of the ethnographic project

Toward an Indigenous Curatorial Practice: Learning From Tłı̨chǫ Metaphors of Care to Establish Principles of Curation

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The displacement of items of cultural heritage from Indigenous communities is continually perpetuated through their appropriation into collection systems that are inappropriate to Indigenous laws and customs. This paper presents the efforts of the Tłı̨chǫ Government (TG) to address such issues by creating a system that is rooted within its ...

Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

Ruminal fermentation, methanogenesis and nitrogen utilization of sheep receiving tropical grass hay-concentrate diets offered with Sapindus saponaria fruits and Cratylia argentea foliage

, 2014
The effects of supplementing a tropical, low-quality grass hay (Brachiaria dictyoneura) with legume foliage (Cratylia argentea) or fruits of the multipurpose tree Sapindus saponaria on ruminal fermentation, methane release and nitrogen (N) utilization ...

Investigating relationships among strontium, barium, and seasonality in wild baboons

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Geochemical profiles of Australopithecus africanus and baboon teeth show fluctuating trace elements, possibly reflecting seasonal diets. Here we use laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometric measurements of calcium‐normalized strontium and barium ratios (Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca) and ion microprobe analyses of oxygen isotopes (δ18O ...

Haematology and biochemistry parameters for koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) on Raymond Island, Victoria: use of point‐of‐care analysers

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Biochemistry and haematology analytes can provide information on the health status of individual animals or populations in direct comparison to expected values or reference intervals developed using the same analysis methodology from a healthy reference population of the target species. Point‐of‐care analysers are increasingly used in the assessment of

Longevity and Growth of the Crabs Callinectes sapidus and Callinectes rathbunae (Decapoda: Portunidae) in Paraíso Tabasco Mexico

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Individual growth models are important in fisheries of natural populations and can be incorporated in production models to estimate their maximum sustainable yield. Blue crab species, Callinectes sapidus and Callinectes rathbunae were obtained in the Mecoacán lagoon, Paraíso, Tabasco Mexico by “nasa” and “yahual” nets. Biometric values such as

A framework for integrating resilience indicators into risk assessments

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Globally, ecosystems are increasingly threatened by climate change and human pressures, yet ecosystem risk assessments predominantly emphasize exposure to stressors while overlooking intrinsic ecosystem resilience—the capacity to absorb and recover from disturbances.

Integrating Indigenous knowledge and modern statistical approaches to model wildlife density based on animal track counts

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In multiuse areas outside formal protection, sustaining both wildlife and people is critical to wildlife conservation and coexistence efforts. Botswana's Kalahari hosts one of sub‐Saharan Africa’s largest unprotected areas supporting free‐ranging wildlife.
