Urbanization Intensity, Vegetation Cover and Plant Vigor Affects Stem Galls Occurrence and Abundance in a Widely Distributed Ruderal Tropical Plant

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
In this study, we demonstrate that urbanization intensity reduces the abundance of stem galls on Turnera subulata, while increased vegetation cover and plant vigor promote higher occurrence and abundance. These findings highlight the importance of native vegetation in sustaining specialized insect‐plant interactions and provide evidence that plant ...

“Women Enlace”: Interweaving Women to Make Collective Action Possible

open access: yesGender, Work &Organization, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 554-571, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study engages with the contemporary debate on women's collective action through the lens of commons governance. Drawing on the theory of collective action in the management of common‐pool resources (CPRs) and on feminist ethnography with a group of rural extractivist women in the Cerrado—a vast tropical savanna biome in Brazil's Central ...

The Stability of Gyrolite and Influence of Fe(III)

open access: yesJournal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Gyrolite (Ca4Si6O15(OH)2·4H2O) is a crystalline calcium silicate hydrate which forms hydrothermally and is primarily used as an adsorbent for wastewater treatment. The stability of gyrolite is poorly understood, as well as the potential impact of Fe, which can be present as an impurity in the raw materials used.
