Amidst (waste) abundance: world‐making and struggles in hosting a municipal landfill in the Bolivian lowlands Au milieu de l'abondance (de déchets) : fabrication du monde et luttes liées à la gestion d'une décharge municipale dans les basses terres de Bolivie

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
In recent decades, solid waste has proliferated worldwide, becoming a pressing global issue. This article explores the role of Indigenous people dwelling within and upon emerging waste scenarios, with a specific focus on involved forms of sociality and ontological contestation. Drawing on the case of a municipal landfill sited on a Guarani community in

REPRODUCING OPERATIONAL LANDSCAPES: The Rock Mining for Indonesia's New Capital City

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Indonesia's new capital city is designed to become a green and sustainable city. In this article, we examine the (un)sustainability of the process through which the city is coming into being. Using the sociospatial theory of planetary urbanization, we trace the dialectical relationship between the new city and sites beyond it to show how ...

An Economic and Environmental Analysis of Virtual Fencing for Precision Grazing

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The UK grazing livestock sector is challenged by declining farm profitability and stringent environmental policy. Innovative technologies such as virtual fencing could enable a balanced economic and environmental performance of beef production. Virtual fencing is a livestock management tool relying on invisible boundaries perceived as auditory,

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

SOILS OF THE PRINEVSKAYA LOWLAND PLAIN AND PROSPECTS FOR THEIR USE

Soils of the Russian North-West are important for environmental management of the Baltic region. The Saint-Petersburg city is located in Prinevskaya lowland, surrounded by upplands. The soils of the regions are overmoisted and intensively antropogenically transformed. This research provides review data on the soil diversity of this mascroladscape.

Edges as ecological filters: Asymmetrical orientation‐specific arthropod activity across forest boundaries

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Moderate retention forestry creates structurally sharp forest edges that act as ecological filters, shaping orientation‐specific activity of ground‐dwelling arthropods. Using drift‐fence pitfall traps, we show that activity aligned with ecotones is more frequent than activity across forest–clearcut boundaries, particularly among detritivores.
