READING HOUSING AS AN URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE PATTERNING THE ‘WHORE STIGMA’

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, I conceptualize housing as an urban infrastructure enabling the reproduction, exploitation, circulation and emplacement of the ‘whore stigma’. To this end, I engage with infrastructural scholarship, particularly the emerging field of infrastructural housing studies, and situate it in dialogue with critical perspectives on ...

Polarization vision and the physiological basis for trichromatic vision in Philaenus spumarius: Understanding host‐seeking behaviour in insect vectors for Xylella fastidiosa control

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
We investigated the role of vision in host‐seeking behaviour by Philaenus spumarius, the main European vector of Xylella fastidiosa, through an integrated anatomical, optical, physiological, and behavioural study. Our data highlight that the spittlebug uses visual cues, including polarized light, which may aid in detecting the polarized reflections ...

The value of regeneration for insect fauna associated with leaf litter in the Brazilian savanna: A comparative study of biomass and trophic structure

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...

Effects of soil physical properties on dung beetle assemblages in pasture landscapes of the Brazilian Cerrado

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We assessed the effect of the type of soil texture (loamy sand and sandy loam) and its physical properties on dung beetle species assemblages in a pastureland region of the Brazilian Cerrado. We found a reduction in the total and paracoprid beetle abundances in loamy sand soil. Furthermore, the increase of soil compaction negatively affected the entire

National identity after conquest

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Conquering powers routinely adopt state‐directed nationalization projects that seek to make the boundaries of the nation coterminous with the (newly expanded) boundaries of the state. To this end, they implement policies that elevate the economic status of individuals who embrace the occupier's national identity and discriminate against those ...
