With the trend of global warming and destructive human activities, the frequent occurrences
of catastrophes have posed devastating threats to human life and social stability worldwide …

In public perception, abnormal animal behavior is widely assumed to be a potential
earthquake precursor, in strong contrast to the viewpoint in natural sciences. Proponents of …

Seismic precursors are an as yet unattained frontier in earthquake studies. With the aim of
making a step towards this frontier, we present a hydrogeochemical dataset associated with …

Most destructive earthquakes nucleate at between 5–7 km and about 35–40 km depth.
Before earthquakes, rocks are subjected to increasing stress. Not every stress increase …

Understanding the functioning of extinct ecosystems is a complicated knot of ecological,
evolutionary, and preservational strands that must be untangled. For instance, anatomical …

Whether changes in animal behavior allow for short‐term earthquake predictions has been
debated for a long time. Before, during and after the 2016/2017 earthquake sequence in …

Abstract The 2016 Mw≥ 6.0 Amatrice‐Norcia earthquakes (central Apennines, Italy) and the
related seismic sequence were associated with increases in arsenic and vanadium …

We review changes in groundwater chemistry as precursory signs for earthquakes. In
particular, we discuss pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), electrical conductivity, and dissolved …

Simple Summary Earthquakes are invariably preceded by a period when stresses increase
deep in the Earth. Animals appear to be able to sense impending seismic events. During …

The debate about how far the Moon causes biological effects has continued for two
millennia. Pliny the Elder argued for lunar power “penetrating all things”, including plants …
