Nonhuman Pedagogical Relations: Towards Conceptual Limits

Educational Theory, EarlyView.
Abstract This article considers the pedagogical relation as a relation to a nonhuman educator, wherein the educatee is a member of the Homo sapiens species. My aim is to clarify the extent to which a nonhuman‐human relation can be understood as pedagogical.

Ecological and functional effects of habitat conversion and seasons on fruit‐feeding butterfly assemblages in tropical dry forests Efeitos ecológicos e funcionais da conversão do habitat e da sazonalidade sobre assembleias de borboletas frugívoras em florestas tropicais secas

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Land‐use change and seasonality shape the taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity of fruit‐feeding butterflies in tropical dry forests. Pastures reduce phylogenetic diversity and increase wing fluctuating asymmetry, while taxonomic and functional diversity is greater in the wet season than in the dry season.

Geographical distribution of the Pinnated Bittern (Botaurus pinnatus): Update and seasonal movement pattern

Ibis, EarlyView.
The Pinnated Bittern Botaurus pinnatus (Ardeidae) is a widely distributed Neotropical wading bird whose distribution and seasonal status remain poorly resolved. Discrepancies among published literature, citizen science records and the range currently assumed by BirdLife International indicate that both its geographical distribution and migratory ...

Critical tipping points in dung beetle communities: Implications for conservation in the Atlantic Forest biome

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Minor land‐use changes consistently lead to abrupt biodiversity shifts across all diversity dimensions, favoring generalist dung beetle species while excluding sensitive specialists. These shifts are observed at lower environmental change rates than previously considered, with significant changes apparent after just 25% habitat loss.

Impacts of land use change on diaspore‐dispersing ant assemblages in southwestern Amazonia

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Land use changes shift ant assemblages, more intensive land uses are dominated by generalist and open habitat specialist species engaging in group foraging. The diaspore removal rates cannot differ, but the quality of dispersal was lower in disturbed habitats.

Distribution models of polysphinctine parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) reveal sampling bias and flag potentially overlooked host interactions

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We quantified the geographical overlap between parasitoid wasps and their known host spiders. We could assess which parasitoid species have more limited information about their interactions and are subject to geographical survey bias. We generated sampling bias maps to assist other researchers in identifying where the main sampling gaps are.

The Legacy of Policy Inaction in Climate‐Growth Models

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To better understand the structure and core mechanisms of a broad class of climate‐growth models, we study a simplified version of the dynamic integrated model of climate and the economy (DICE) through the lens of growth theory. We analytically show that this model features a continuum of saddle‐point stable steady states.
