CAPITALIZING CRISIS: Urban Extractivism in Athens Amidst Neoliberal Restructurings

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article we examine the post‐2009 transformation of Athens through the analytical lens of urban extractivism.

NOCTURNAL INFORMALITY: Rethinking the Temporal Politics of Urban Informality

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.

Contrasting Responses of Rodents With Different Habitat Associations to Rapid Urbanization in a Chinese Megacity

Rapid urbanization reshaped rodent populations, morphology, and gut microbiota along an urban–rural gradient. The synanthropic rat (Rattus norvegicus) increased in abundance toward the urban core and exhibited reduced ear and tail length, whereas the farmland mouse (Apodemus agrarius) and woodland rat (Niviventer confucianus) declined.
