Rapid isotopic exchange in mineralogically unaltered coral skeletons by Jarosław Stolarski, Deyanira Cisneros-Lazaro, Arthur Adams, Katarzyna Janiszewska, Anders Meibom

“…Simulated diagenesis experiments using modern coral skeletons immersed in 18O-enriched artificial seawater revealed that microstructural complexity – specifically, the phylogenetically controlled arrangement of rapid accretion and thickening deposits – strongly influences isotopic exchange. Organic-rich regions within the skeleton facilitate water penetration, leading to heterogeneous isotopic alteration correlated with skeletal architecture. …”

Methylmercury carbon isotope fractionation during biotic methylation by the bacterial BerOc1 strain by Luisa M. Malberti-Quintero, Jin-Ping Xue, Remy Guyoneaud, Alina Kleindienst, Christelle Lagane, Laure Laffont, Jeroen E. Sonke, Zoyne Pedrero, Emmanuel Tessier, David Amouroux, David Point

“…The maximum methylation yield observed in our samples was around 15% of the available iHg and a constant C isotope fractionation was detected over time. We propose that the methyl group is metabolically transferred from the carbon sources to cobalamin in the HgcA protein and subsequently to inorganic mercury (iHg), leading to consistent light C isotope enriched CH3Hg signatures.…”

Embedding Monodisperse LaOx Into Pt Nanoclusters for Ultra‐Stable and Efficient Hydrogen Isotope Oxidation by Guilin Wei, Jiangfeng Song, Yan Shi, Linsen Zhou, Xianglin Wang, Junhong Luo, Ning Liu, Feize Li, Xingwen Feng

“…Abstract Catalytic oxidation plays a crucial role in the efficient treatment of hydrogen isotopes, with the key technical challenge being the development of high‐performance catalysts to enhance isotope removal efficiency, thereby reducing environmental pollution and ensuring public radiation safety. …”

A Young Crustal Component in the Caroline Mantle Plume (Western Pacific Ocean) by Yuan Zhong, Ji Zhang, Sanzhong Li, Guo‐Liang Zhang

“…We suggest the circum‐Rodinia subduction could lead to such preferential appearance of young crustal materials, and consequently result in the zoned compositional structure of the Pacific LLSVP.…”

Alpine peatland degradation enhances soil nitrogen losses and alters plant nitrogen uptake strategies: evidence from nitrogen isotopes by Xiaodong Zhang, Lijuan Cui, Xin Jia, Liang Yan, Yong Li, Zhongqing Yan, Kerou Zhang, Ao Yang, Yuechuan Niu, Enze Kang, Xiaoming Kang

“…Although the abundance of stable nitrogen isotopes (δ15N) has been widely used to trace nitrogen processes, their patterns and implications across degradation gradients are not well understood. …”

The Influence of Tree Infilling on Energy Partitioning, Vegetation Water Use, and Soil Water State in Sparse Conifer Stands of the Taiga Shield Ecoregion by C. Spence, A. Coles, J. J. Gibson, E. M. Nicholls, N. Perron, A. Sniderhan, O. Sonnentag, J. L. Baltzer

“…As denser canopies become more prevalent on the landscape, this switch in relative importance of evapotranspirative processes will lead to a reduction in inter‐annual variability of evapotranspiration. …”

Chromosomal Inversion Associated With Diet Differences in Common Quails Sharing Wintering Grounds by Celia Vinagre‐Izquierdo, Ines Sanchez‐Donoso, Jennifer A. Leonard, José Domingo Rodríguez‐Teijeiro, Carles Vilà

“…Thus, two separately evolving chromosomal lineages, characterized by the presence/absence of the inversion, coexist in the wintering area, leading to differences in morphology, behavior, and resource use. …”

Spatiotemporal variability in the feeding habits of anchovy and sardine: a comparison of upwelling and river-runoff driven ecosystems by Paola Rumolo, Marco Barra, Angelo Bonanno, Simona Altieri, Rosalia Ferreri, Antonella Gargano, Gualtiero Basilone, Serena Gherardi, Simona Genovese, Maria Rosa Di Cicco, Carmine Lubritto

“…Moreover, the greater number of cases showing wider isotopic niches and higher isotopic overlap between species—and between life stages—in the Tyrrhenian Sea than in the Strait of Sicily suggests higher variability in feeding behaviour and access to more diversified food sources. …”

Microbial and mineral interactions decouple litter quality from soil organic matter formation by Dafydd M. O. Elias, Kelly E. Mason, Tim Goodall, Ashley Taylor, Pengzhi Zhao, Alba Otero-Fariña, Hongmei Chen, Caroline L. Peacock, Nicholas J. Ostle, Robert Griffiths, Pippa J. Chapman, Joseph Holden, Steve Banwart, Niall P. McNamara, Jeanette Whitaker

“…We find that high-quality litter leads to less (not more) efficient formation of mineral-associated SOC due to soil microbial community shifts which lower carbon use efficiency. …”

First evidence of bronze production in the Iron Age I southern Levant: A direct link to the Arabah copper polity. by Tzilla Eshel, Yoav Bornstein, Gal Bermatov-Paz, Shay Bar

“…Microstructural features indicate that primary alloying of copper and tin-rather than the re-melting of scrap-was practiced at the site. Lead isotope analysis, chemical composition, and microstructure link some of the metal specifically to the Faynan ores, and other finds to the Timna ores, suggesting that both ores, possibly controlled by a joint polity, supplied copper to el-Ahwat. …”
