American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 38, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Lactose tolerance (lactase persistence) represents a very progressive human adaptation, the origins of which remain incompletely understood. This study aims to examine the geographical distribution of the two alleles associated with lactose tolerance in Eurasia (13910*T and 13915*G) in relation to the main Y haplogroups and autosomal ancestry ...

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 593-619, April 2026.ABSTRACT Mesophotic reefs are located in low light conditions which, depending on the region, are usually found in water depths greater than ~30 m. They are less affected by ocean warming than reefs found in shallower water depths and thus might become increasingly important for the sustainability of marine biodiversity.

Geospatial Analysis of Population Exposure to Flooding in the Sudd Region, South Sudan
Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT The Sudd wetland in South Sudan extends over 90,000 km2. Large‐scale flood events in recent years (2019–2022) are said to have led to the displacement of an estimated 1.8 million people in total. However, these estimates are approximate and to date there has not been a systematic analysis of population exposure to flooding in the Sudd region ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 2, Page 296-312, February 2026.As West Africa urbanises, the risk of Lassa fever may paradoxically decrease. We found the invasive house mouse, a dominant urban species, outcompetes and displaces the primary Lassa virus host. Considering these species interactions is critical for accurately predicting future zoonotic disease patterns.

African Lambdas II: Formal Semantics of African Languages—The Verbal and Clausal Domain
Language and Linguistics Compass, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT The formal semantic analysis of African languages is still a young subfield within theoretical linguistics. Starting with general overviews of the quantifier systems of individual African languages around two decades ago, there now exists a substantial body of fieldwork‐based and autochthonous formal semantic research conducted by both African

note on bare-passives in (selected) Bantu and Western Nilotic Languages
ZAS Papers in Linguistics, 2014 In the present paper, we concentrate on (selected) Bantu and Nilotic bare-passive strategies and lay out the basis for a typology of transitive passive constructions in these languages. We argue that bare-passives constitute an optimal strategy to change prominence relations between arguments, in languages that strongly hold to the default mapping ...

African Lambdas I: Formal Semantics of African Languages—The Nominal Domain
Language and Linguistics Compass, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT The formal semantic analysis of African languages is still a young subfield within theoretical linguistics.

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT Aim The role of historical drainage connectivity and the influence of water level fluctuations in African lakes on the evolution and distribution of macroinvertebrates remain poorly understood. This is partly because evolutionary biology research has largely focused on mobile vertebrates, such as cichlids.

VALIDATING HISTORICAL INTERPRETATIONS: AN APPROACH FROM CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY
History and Theory, Volume 63, Issue 3, Page 384-402, September 2024.ABSTRACT Historians and anthropologists share a common problem of setting criteria for the validation of their interpretations. While many features are shared and explicit—for example, that a full range of data needs to be considered and that information should be reliably sourced—the actual criteria for assessing supportable interpretations are ...

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 184, Issue 4, August 2024.Abstract Objectives This study presents biological affinities between the last hunter‐fisher‐gatherers and first food‐producing societies from the Nile Valley. We investigate odontometric and dental tissue proportion changes between these populations from the Middle Nile Valley and acknowledge the biological processes behind them.
