Tropical Bee Assemblage Diversity Decreases With Elevation While Body Size Increases
Photos of bee specimens collected in the Colombian Andes across a nearly 3000 m elevational cline. They are arranged to illustrate both the decline in richness with elevation and the increase in community average body size with elevation. ABSTRACT Elevation gradients are powerful drivers of changes in species composition, richness, and functional ...

Revisiting the EU's Democratic Deficit: Archival Insights From Maximalist Federalists
Abstract This article explores the history of democratic problematisation of European integration, rather than taking part in the normative debate on the European Union's democratic legitimacy deficit that emerged in the 1990s. We focus on the narratives of non‐institutional actors who have considered that European integration should be a democratic ...

ABSTRACT Flies (Diptera) are important pollinators in global agriculture, yet little is known about how intraspecific trait variation influences their pollination performance. We compared morphological traits, foraging behaviour and pollination‐related performance metrics between laboratory‐reared (hereafter lab‐reared) and wild populations of ...

“That We May Love the As Yet Unknown God”: The Meaning of Analogy in Augustine’s De Trinitate
Abstract Recent interest in the idea of analogy and the analogy of being, along with the apparent invocation of Augustine’s De Trinitate in the definition of Lateran IV, calls for a renewed investigation into the idea of analogy in the aforementioned text.
