Balancing bossism: State expansion in the face of elite capture
Abstract Central states have often relied on local elites to implement policies in peripheral areas. These strategies may allow otherwise weak states to impose their directives, but they can also be inefficient, particularly when a single elite commands total control over local politics (monopolist capture).

Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world
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 ...

Ungulate prey availability to inform Mexican wolf recovery within its historical range
We estimated the potential ecological carrying capacity for the Mexican wolf based exclusively on ungulate prey biomass estimated from camera trap surveys. In the United States, the potential density estimate is high (21.4–52.7 wolves/1,000 km2) owing to the presence and relatively high densities of elk, mule deer, and white‐tailed deer.

Abstract For millions of working‐class Mexicans, property has turned into rent. This transformation has fundamentally dislocated social reproduction in Mexico by eroding households’ ability to envision themselves as holders of patrimony and as lasting social formations.
