Haunting the Historiography of Slaves in South Asia from the nineteenth century to the present
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Using both English and Urdu‐language records, this article traces the career of a few African and Afro‐Asian women slaves in the household‐state of Awadh during the first half of the nineteenth century. Focusing on the same records, this article compares a master‐poet's recognition of the motherhood of the African and Afro‐Asian slaves to the ...

Trapline foraging by bumble bees: VII. Adjustments for foraging success following competitor removal
Trapline foraging by bumble bees: VII. Adjustments for foraging success following competitor removalAnimals collecting food from renewable resource patches scattered in space often establish small foraging areas to which they return faithfully. Such area fidelity offers foraging advantages through selection of profitable patches route minimization and regular circuit visits to these patches (“trapline foraging”).

THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN METABOLISM: Landscape, Design and the Politics of In/Visibility
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract In this article, we chart the evolving aesthetic contours of urban metabolism across London, focusing on the River Lea and Thamesmead to the north and south of the River Thames, respectively. We begin in the nineteenth century, when these two sites formed critical nodes within a new sewerage system that relegated the city’s circulatory flows ...

Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)
Insect Science, EarlyView.As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...

Genetic differentiation and adaptive evolution of buff‐tailed bumblebees in Asia
Insect Science, EarlyView.This study investigates the genetic differentiation and local adaptation of the buff‐tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) across its European and Asian populations. Using whole‐genome resequencing, we identified distinct genetic differences between populations, with Asian B. terrestris representing a unique genetic resource.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.
