Human ecodynamics (H.E.) refers to processes of stability, resilience, and change in socio-ecological relationships or systems. H.E. research involves interdisciplinary study the human condition as it affects is affected by rest non-human world. In this paper, we review intellectual history concept over past several decades, has emerged out classical ecology, anthropology, behavioral resilience theory, historical related fields, especially with respect long-term socioecological change. Those...

Enhanced overturning circulation in the glacial North Pacific caused warming, nutrient limitation, and lower atmospheric CO 2 .
Human beings are an active component of every terrestrial ecosystem on Earth. Although our local impact the evolution these ecosystems has been undeniable and extensively documented, it remains unclear precisely how activities altering them, in part because dynamic systems structured by complex, non-linear feedback processes cascading effects. We argue that is only studying human–environment interactions over timescales greatly exceed lifespan any individual human (i.e., deep past or longue...
This article presents analyses of lithic and zooarchaeological data from the Kuril Islands Sakhalin Island in Russian Far East to better understand effects island isolation biodiversity on human settlement subsistence. Using theory biogeography, we examine predictions about raw material use, trade, mobility, foraging behavior for different groups. study finds convincing evidence that insularity imposed significant constraints prehistoric maritime hunter-gatherer access materials targets this...
The Circumpolar North is generally recognized as a challenging environment to inhabit and yet, we know relatively little about how people managed their welfare in these places. Here, add the understanding of maritime hunter-gatherers subarctic Pacific through comparative approach that synthesizes biogeographic archaeological data from Kuril Islands. We conclude our faunal, ceramic lithic evidence support expectations biogeography assemblages low biodiversity insular regions show limited diet...
Archaeological investigations of settlement patterns in dynamic landscapes can be strongly biased by the evolution Earth's surface. The Kuril Island volcanic arc exemplifies such a landscape, where landscape‐modifying geological forces were active during settlement, including sea‐level changes, tectonic emergence, eruptive processes, coastal aggradation, and dune formation. With all these ongoing this paper we seek to understand how new landscape formation Holocene might bias archaeological...
Islands in the North Pacific were first colonized by maritime hunter-gatherers sometime between terminal Pleistocene and mid-Holocene. When colonists came from where remains a matter of speculation. This article introduces Tanginak Spring site, deeply stratified early Ocean Bay I site on Sitkalidak Island southeast Kodiak. Lithic raw materials technologies are examined to evaluate possibility that this was used archipelago. The evidence suggests relatively recent migration Kodiak not much...
Using 14 proxy human population time series from around the North Pacific (Alaska, Hokkaido and Kuril Islands), we evaluate possibility that climate marine ecosystem includes a millennial-scale regime shift cycle affecting subsistence migration. We develop both visual statistical methods for addressing questions about relative growth movement in past. introduce explore use of Time Iterative Moran I (TIMI) spatial autocorrelation method to compare trends quantitatively - could prove useful...
