NOCTURNAL INFORMALITY: Rethinking the Temporal Politics of Urban Informality
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Urban informality has long been theorized as a spatial condition of urban life—an expression of negotiation, improvisation, and survival within the uneven terrains of legality and governance. Yet this emphasis on space has obscured the temporalities through which informality is lived, governed, and contested. This essay develops the concept of

Measuring levelling up in a many‐dimensioned world: an application to the United Kingdom
Fiscal Studies, EarlyView.Abstract The analysis of regional growth or levelling up in income, health and human resources is a challenge as it involves measuring growth multidimensionally with ordered categorical variables. The lack of a cardinal measure and the ambiguity inherent in its arbitrary cardinalisation is the source of the problem.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Temporal Responses to Warming: Do Wild Herbivores Trade Off Heat, Predators, and Humans?
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We untangled how summer temperature, predators, and humans influenced behavioral responses in two deer species. Both reduced their daily activity level in response to warming, yet only roe deer increased nocturnality to avoid heat. Conversely, fallow deer traded off heat avoidance with predator avoidance.
