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,

Attractiveness of Melon Genotypes to Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) Mediated by Foliar Morphological and Biochemical Traits

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
This study identifies melon genotypes resistant to Bemisia tabaci by integrating morphological and biochemical leaf traits. Using free‐choice and no‐choice assays, we demonstrate that resistance is primarily mediated by antixenosis. Genotypes CNPH 11‐1071‐43, CNPH 06‐1047‐343, CNPH 13‐1076, and BG MEL 16 significantly reduced whitefly settling and ...

Insights of agricultural sustainability by the use of earthworms

Discover Agriculture
Pesticides and other agrochemicals are introduced into the soil through agricultural practices. Earthworms contribute to the ecosystem services, such as pedogenesis and soil aeration, water regulation, and bioremediation of pesticides and chemicals, act ...

Early results and lessons learned from biomanipulation and chemical restoration of a eutrophic shallow lake

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Over 44% of European lakes fail to meet ecological quality standards, prompting substantial investment in lake restoration to achieve good ecological status. Unfortunately, effects are often short‐lived due to persistent internal phosphorus (P) loading and strong cyprinid‐driven bottom‐up control, which limits water quality ...

Tracking Invasive Pheretimoid Earthworm Species in New Brunswick, Canada: Impacts on Soil Properties and Other Invasive Earthworms

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 4, December 2026.
Jumping worms, a group of invasive earthworms, are spreading northward in North America, yet their impacts remain poorly understood, especially at their northern range limit. Following the initial detection of jumping worms in New Brunswick, we sampled 46 sites across the province to assess their regional spread and examine possible vectors of ...

Resurvey of Boreal Earthworm Communities in Southern and Northern Finland

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 4, December 2026.
Boreal forests account for 11.5% of the Earth's land area, and, unlike oceanic and mediterranean forests, their cold winters typically represent the harshest season for earthworms. In Fennoscandia, these forests are subject to substantial global changes, notably climate change and land use intensification, which might impact earthworm populations.

The effects of clonal integration and earthworms on the growth, active constituent accumulation in Glechoma longituba, and the soil microbial community in its root zone

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionClonal integration represents a key ecological advantage of clonal plants, enabling resource transfer among interconnected ramets. Earthworm activity significantly influences soil processes and plant growth.

Decomponology: A board game for understanding soil carbon dynamics

Natural Sciences Education, Volume 55, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Soils sustain life and regulate global carbon cycling, yet the processes governing soil organic matter dynamics are inherently complex, involving multiple pathways and positive and negative feedbacks. Traditional concepts such as humus often portrayed soil carbon as a static pool whose persistence was attributed largely to the inherent ...
