Realizing and assessing social successes in invasive species management

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Each year untold numbers of land managers and volunteers work individually and collectively to manage invasive plant, animal, and insect species. Whether such efforts are deemed successful depends on ecological and economic outcomes, with limited consideration of the social processes, costs, and benefits.

Where water meets rock: Ecological niches and diversity hotspots of hygropetric beetles in the Neotropics

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
First continental‐scale synthesis of hygropetric beetle diversity and distribution across Neotropical highlands. Climatic and topographic gradients structure regional assemblages and niche overlap. Ecological convergence suggests adaptation to similar conditions across disjunct regions.

Effect of land use change on Melolonthidae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) beetle communities in the deforestation arc of the Brazilian Amazon

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Habitat transformation in Amazon due to agriculture expansion impairs Melolonthidae diversity. Assemblage response towards habitat transformation are group‐dependent. Although highly disturbed, Amazon arc of deforestation region dwells sensitive insect assemblages. Abstract Although the Amazon provides crucial goods and ecosystem services for humanity,

Racialized Labour in the Colonial Food Regime: The Whitening of England's Farmworkers

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The crystallization of a colonial food regime in the 1870s centred around Britain is key to historical accounts of agrarian political economy. Yet such accounts have neglected the role of the agrarian proletariat in shaping this regime from below and its basis in racialized hierarchy.
