Standardization as Spaces of Diversity

Engaging Science, Technology, and Society, 2017
Standards have become an important object of investigation in social science and STS scholars have called for a more systematic program of research to study standards or standardization (Busch 2011; Timmermans and Epstein 2010).

Soundscape diversity: Evaluation indices of the sound environment in urban green spaces – Effectiveness, role, and interpretation

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Urban green space sound sources play an important role in providing people with high quality recreation experiences. However, the evaluation index for urban green space sound sources is still limited.

Cultivated Vegetation Shapes Diversity and Stability of Spontaneous Herbaceous Communities in Residential Green Spaces [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Urban residential green spaces contribute to urban biodiversity by supporting both cultivated and spontaneous herbaceous plants, yet the effects of cultivated vegetation on spontaneous communities remain insufficiently quantified.

Functional and species composition of understory plants varies with mistletoe-infection on Vachellia karroo trees in a semi-arid African savanna

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
In savanna ecosystems, tree canopy patches differ in plant species composition compared to adjacent intercanopy spaces due to different levels of resource availabilities. Mistletoes further augment nutrients underneath tree canopies whilst reducing their

Diversity begets diversity in competition for space [PDF]

Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2017
Competition can profoundly affect biodiversity patterns by determining whether similar species are likely to coexist. When species compete directly for space, competitive ability differences should theoretically promote trait and phylogenetic clustering, provided that niche differences are otherwise minimal.

The Diverse Spaces of Play for Today [PDF]

Journal of British Cinema and Television, 2022
Of the roughly 300 Play for Today dramas, a dozen have a non-white writer or director and/or deal with the experiences of black and Asian communities in urban England. These dramas are a tiny proportion of the overall body of work but nevertheless offer bold, often uncompromising representations of race, class and generational divisions in 1970s and ...

Taxonomic, Phylogenetic and Functional Diversity of Bird Assemblages in Urban Green Spaces: Null Model Analyses, Temporal Variation and Ecological Drivers

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Urban expansion is a pervasive driver of biodiversity loss. To understand the effects of urbanization on diversity, we investigated the response of bird taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity to urban green spaces’ characteristics in thirty ...
