Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

A core problem in assessing decolonial thought is that the term ‘decolonization’ has been stretched so widely that it now allows for many competing uses. For some critics of decolonial thought such as Nigerian philosopher Olúfẹ́mi Táíwò, this overuse points to conceptual ...

Influence of elevation, climate, snowmelt and floral abundance on body size of solitary bees
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.We measured body size in bee species from a 10‐year specimen collection from Colorado sub‐alpine meadows (2450–3450 m) and tested effects of elevation and annual snowmelt, climate and floral abundance. 2 out of 4 bee species collected across a broad elevation range showed a decline in body size with higher elevations; the other two showed no effect ...

The effect of caste, mass and colony identity on rescue priorities in the red imported fire ant
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Fire ants will rescue brood when the brood becomes trapped underground. We find that rescuers may use odor cues to locate trapped rescue targets. We demonstrate that a single reproductive larva is preferentially rescued over a single worker larva, but that caches of multiple worker larvae receive equal treatment as a single reproductive larva.

The role of structural transformation in regional convergence in Japan: 1874–2008
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract Japan's regional convergence of productivity levels throughout the twentieth century can be best described as a cumulative process of ‘catching up, forging ahead, and falling behind’. Using a novel dataset spanning 135 years (1874–2008), this study finds support for a crucial role played by structural transformation in convergence. The pace of

Ethology, EarlyView.In this study, we found moderate to strong repeatabilities in behavioural variables measuring the personality traits: activity, aggressiveness and exploration. Similarly, the probability of acting as a leader during tandem running in an emigration event was moderately (R = 0.469) repeatable.

From Occupational Stigma to Mukti: Liberation, Place, and Agency Among Sex Workers in Sonagachi
Gender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines how former sex workers in Sonagachi, Kolkata, India, navigate occupational and place‐based stigma through spiritual repertoires, of which mukti (liberation) is a central tool. Drawing on critical, embedded ethnography across three fieldwork periods (2001, 2011, and 2019) with long‐term engagement in the Freeset community,
