THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN METABOLISM: Landscape, Design and the Politics of In/Visibility
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 ...

Beetles, barcodes and big data: A deep dive into the phylogeny of Harpalinae (Carabidae)
The largest phylogenetic study of the Carabidae to date is provided with a focus on the Harpalinae. Using novel mitogenomes with a site‐based approach combined with data mining from GenBank and BOLD, we achieve dense coverage of the major Harpalinae sensu lato clades.

Paussus brancuccii sp.nov., an unusually abundant species of the Paussus jousselinii group from Laos and South China (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Paussinae, Paussini) [PDF]
A new myrmecophilous species of flanged bombardier beetles is described from northeastern Laosand China (Guangxi), Paussus brancuccii sp.nov. This species stands out from other members of the Paussusjousselinii group and most other Paussines by the large

In the course of exploratory field studies on arthropods with defensive glands, we came across two species which emit a strong and persistent phenolic odor when handled. One is a carabid beetle (Chlaenius cordicollis Kirby), the other a chordeumoid millipede [Abacion magnum (Loomis)].

Animals utilize an incredible array of traits for offence and defence during conflict. These traits range from exaggerated morphological structures such as the antlers of stags and the horns of beetles, to an arsenal of noxious chemicals emitted ...
