Multiscale Environmental Drivers of Aquatic Insect Assemblages in Cerrado Streams
Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.Multi‐scale drivers of aquatic insect communities in Cerrado streams. The gradient (from left to right) indicates increasing spatial scale, showing that abundance is influenced by local factors (conductivity, temperature), taxonomic richness responds to agricultural land use at an intermediate scale, and community composition is structured by regional ...

Trading Zones Between Thick and Thin: Anthropological Description as Scaffold or Mosaic
American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 1, Page 159-170, March 2026.ABSTRACT Referring to the work of historian of science Peter Galison, I argue that anthropology requires thin description as an essential counterpart for thick description. Thin accounts provide the scaffolding within which thick descriptions sit. Galison uses the idea of a “trading zone” connecting different communities who, despite their differences (

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.Abstract This paper examines corporate LGBTQ+ activism and the productive incorporation of queers into capitalism in Brazil. Mobilising transnational queer materialist critiques in tandem with critical perspectives from teoria do cu, the paper sheds light on how homonormativity operates not simply as a set of cultural norms or representational tropes ...

The City as an Anti‐Growth Machine
Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.ABSTRACT Logan and Molotch's “urban growth machine” remains foundational in urban theory, describing how coalitions of landowners, developers, and politicians promote urban growth to raise land values. This paper argues that under financialized capitalism, the dynamics have inverted: asset appreciation now outweighs productive investment, and urban ...

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.The invasive exotic snail Achatina fulica dominates the terrestrial mollusk community in the city of Aracaju, occurring in all sampled urban habitats and being the most abundant species among the individuals collected. In addition, it exhibited a larger shell size and greater total weight, particularly in back gardens. ABSTRACT Terrestrial mollusks can

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.In this study, we demonstrate that urbanization intensity reduces the abundance of stem galls on Turnera subulata, while increased vegetation cover and plant vigor promote higher occurrence and abundance. These findings highlight the importance of native vegetation in sustaining specialized insect‐plant interactions and provide evidence that plant ...

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.Urbanization and habitat fragmentation reshape mammal communities on Santa Catarina Island, one of the largest Atlantic Forest islands in Brazil. Using camera traps across protected forest patches, we show that species richness declines with urban and unvegetated matrices, while abundance increases in smaller and more isolated fragments dominated by ...

Anti‐Predation and Size‐Dependent Gas Exchange Functions of Amazonian Architect Cicada Towers
Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.Clay towers built by cicada nymphs before metamorphosis are poorly understood. We experimentally show that towers of the Amazonian cicada Guyalna chlorogena reduce predation risk and exhibit size‐dependent growth responses to gas exchange obstruction, supporting their interpretation as adaptive extended phenotypes.

Animal–Plant Interactions Under Defaunation: Consequences for Amazonian Trees of Commercial Interest
Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.We experimentally investigated the effects of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal defaunation on the removal and fate of seeds from economically important forest species in Amazonian forests. Our results show that mammal exclusion significantly reduced seed removal, although the magnitude of this effect varied among plant species.
