The Evolving Concept of the Anthropocene: A Reply to Zalasiewicz et al.

Earth's Future
The claim that the Anthropocene is de facto a new epoch is disputed, along with the suggestion that Earth system transformation from one state to another can be pinned down to a single year. The epoch proposal was formally rejected in 2024 but, crucially,

Das Epos vom Anthropozän. Zu Raoul Schrotts Erste Erde. Epos

Diegesis: Interdisziplinäres E-Journal für Erzählforschung, 2020
With the definition of the Anthropocene as a new geological epoch, humanity’s relationship with the natural world is being profoundly redefined. Hence, the Anthropocene calls for a new understanding of Being-in-the-World. The new Being-in-the-World is at

What Goes First? Effects of Starvation on the Body Condition of a Neotropical Dung Beetle

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We investigated how prolonged starvation affects key physiological traits in the dung beetle Dichotomius bos. Prolonged starvation leads to significant reductions in body dry mass and fat reserves, while muscle mass remains unchanged. These findings indicate that dung beetles prioritize the maintenance of locomotor muscles while mobilizing stored ...

The role of habitat simplification and seasonality in shaping interactions between ants, plants and herbivores in a neotropical savanna

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
We evaluated how chronic anthropogenic disturbances (CAD) and seasonal variation influence interactions between ants and plants with extrafloral nectaries (EFN's), with emphasis on the responses of ants, herbivores, and plants. Ant and herbivore diversity remained stable across seasons in the preserved cerrado, whereas the pasture had higher ant ...

The Politics of Infrastructural Reversibility: No‐Regret Futures at the London Euston High‐Speed Railway Station

The Geographical Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large infrastructure projects are difficult for publics to challenge, scrutinise, or engage with. A well‐researched barrier to public engagement is the technical complexity of large projects, whether it be materially present, or discursively constructed by professional experts.

L'Anthropocène : réalité géologique ou évènement planétaire? [PDF]

Depuis la révolution industrielle du XVIIIe siècle, l’activité humaine a tellement modifié la Terre que certains scientifiques affirment que nous sommes entrés dans une nouvelle époque géologique : l'Anthropocène, qui décrit « l’ère des humains ».

ON HISTORICAL (ANTI‐)REALISM

History and Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The problem of historical realism has gained some new momentum recently, with a fresh challenge to what is taken to be an anti‐realist hegemony in the theory and philosophy of history. Unfortunately, this has also provided the opportunity for the reheating of old polemics and lazy scholarship that characterized the 1990s reaction to ...

UNIVERSALITY IN THE CLIMATE CATASTROPHE: RETHINKING CHAKRABARTY'S ANTHROPOCENE PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY WITH MERLEAU‐PONTY'S PHILOSOPHY OF NATURE

History and Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article critically examines Dipesh Chakrabarty's concept of Anthropocene history, a philosophy of history that is designed to respond to the universal challenge of the Anthropocene. It uses the work of Maurice Merleau‐Ponty to mitigate the pitfalls of Chakrabarty's concept and to propose an alternative relation between nature and history.

Giants in the cold: Morphological evidence for vascular heat retention in the viscera but not the skeletal muscle of the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...

Period of the day drives distinctions in the taxonomic and functional structures of reef fish assemblages

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Circadian processes are key drivers of animal behaviour, influencing patterns of activity, resource partitioning and competition avoidance. Studies evaluating circadian changes on the structure of marine assemblages are lacking, especially for reef fish.
