Lethal plague outbreaks in Lake Baikal hunter-gatherers 5,500 years ago

"We contend that the occurrence of outbreaks among mid-Holocene hunter-gatherer communities well outside the sphere of Late Neolithic Europe challenges the notion that higher population densities and lifestyle changes during the Neolithic agricultural transition were prerequisites for plague epidemics."

Macleod, R., Seersholm, F.V., De Sanctis, B. et al. Lethal plague outbreaks in Lake Baikal hunter-gatherers 5,500 years ago. Nature 654, 697–705 (2026). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-026-10540-5.

As of today, the Directory of Open Access Journals (#DOAJ @DOAJ) lists 23,131 peer-reviewed #OpenAccess journals, of which 14,347 charge no #APCs. Hence, 62% of these OA journals are no-fee or #DiamondOA.

You can get the latest raw numbers any time you want on the DOAJ front page, and the percentage is an easy calculation. Please correct people who say or assume that all or even most OA journals charge APCs. Most do not.

"The university and its library have been around for much longer than #BigTech."

What role can a university library play in achieving greater #DigitalAutonomy at a university?

Our director Marjolein Nieboer and communications lead @babetteknauer talk about #OpenAccess, #OpenScience and how we explore open tools like #Mastodon #PeerTube and #OpenAlex.

New #openaccess article published in Trends in hearing! "Probing the Underlying Mechanisms of Spectro-Temporal Modulation Discrimination". Can you discriminate a rising frequency sweep from a downward one, in the presence of a background noise? Using reverse correlation, we investigated listeners’ sensitivity to specific frequency sweeps and the auditory mechanisms involved. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/23312165261465060
Huge thanks to Lily Paulick for transforming a very complex set of data into a clear and rigorous paper!

The gender attractiveness gap

"Our findings provide robust evidence for a gender attractiveness gap (GAP), with female faces rated more attractive than male faces across rater sexes, cultures, races and age groups. Surprisingly, the GAP is more pronounced among female raters, who rate other women substantially higher than male faces, while male faces receive similarly low ratings from both sexes; the GAP is absent in self-ratings."

The interaction of meaning similarity and confusability explains regularity in form–meaning mappings at and below the word level

"These findings offer a unified account of lexical organization across the world’s languages, with subword-level form reuse emerging as a principled compromise when full word-level reuse risks miscommunication."

💭 Ti sei mai soffermato sul significato e sulla formazione di espressioni come "capitare a fagiolo", "andare a tutta birra" o "non capire un tubo"?

💡 Le questioni della costruzione idiomatica, delle figure retoriche e della pragmatica del discorso sono fondamentali per comprendere la #fraseologia, un ambito stimolante della #linguistica che non può prescindere dalle #culture delle #lingue di riferimento.
