Reimagining the White Child as Other: Taika Waititi's Decolonial Play in James and the Giant Peach With Taika and Friends

Children &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines how James and the Giant Peach with Taika and Friends (JGPTF) (2020) challenges the colonial logics embedded in Roald Dahl's construction of the universal white child. Through collaborative digital play, humour and Māori relational epistemologies, Taika Waititi unsettles James's position as the normative child of futurity,

Reproductive investment and parasite susceptibility in the great tit

, 1997
1. Reproduction and parasite defence are assumed to be costly activities for hosts, and therefore trade-offs might exist between reproduction and parasite defence, 2.

A revised classification system of the marronoid clade of spiders (Araneae), based on dense sampling phylogenomics and comparative morphology

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The marronoid clade is a globally distributed, ecologically diverse group of spiders. It is an important faunal component in both natural and synanthropic environments, and even found in aquatic and extreme habitats such as desert salt flats. The systematics of the marronoid clade has been notoriously unstable due to the widespread character ...

Larval character evolution in Holometabola (Insecta)

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Larvae, a novel type of immature stage, are a crucial innovation of the Holometabola. Larval features therefore provide key evidence for reconstructing evolutionary transformations in this megadiverse group. Here we present the first formal reconstruction of larval character evolution, using maximum parsimony and Bayesian ancestral‐state ...

Ecological considerations for reintroducing Chinook salmon upstream of Shasta Dam

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
In this assessment, we reviewed existing literature to assess the ecological risks, benefits, and uncertainties associated with reintroducing Chinook salmon into the McCloud River, a tributary of the Sacramento River, California. We identified considerations related to population viability, disease, and species interactions.

Understanding the Relationship of Humanity to God and to Creation Through God's Love: Tuomo Mannermaa's New Interpretation of Martin Luther's View of the Two Kinds of Love

Dialog, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Based on Luther's twenty‐eighth thesis in the Heidelberg Disputation, which contrasts God's love and human love, Tuomo Mannermaa offers a detailed analysis of the theme of love in Luther's theology, highlighting its paradoxical character. According to Mannermaa's interpretation, Luther insists that God's love and human love move in opposite ...

Host Detection by Cuckoo Bumblebees: Choice Experiments Reveal Non‐Visual Cues Support Host Detection, but Accuracy Is Low

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Female Bombus vestalis cuckoo bumblebees were introduced to a flight arena containing four identical opaque boxes, featuring slits to release volatiles from the bumblebees inside. When only one box contained a developing host colony, the cuckoos were able to locate their hosts among the four boxes with 66.2% accuracy.
