Injustice, relational violence, and the foster system

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Political theorists have not paid sustained attention to the foster system or treated it as a political institution. Despite this, scholars and social movement advocates have identified the system as a site of social and political injustice. This paper develops an account of racial, class, and relational injustice in the contemporary US foster

Laboratory studies examining aspects of scent marking, traplining and remote detection of reward in the foraging bumblebee.

, 2007
PhDEnergy from food is essential for the survival of all animals. For decades, bumblebees have been used as model organisms for studying animal foraging strategies.

Increased overwintering temperature reduces reproductive success of the solitary bee species Osmia bicornis

Scientific Reports
Solitary wild bees play a key role as pollinators of wild plants and crops, but they are increasingly at risk from anthropogenic global change, such as climate warming.

Trace Element Patterns in Juvenile Wild Chimpanzee Dentitions

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trace elements are used to infer mammalian early‐life diets, environmental toxins, dispersal patterns, stress histories, and weaning ages. Here, we employ laser ablation‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS) to reveal elemental patterns in our closest living relatives, chimpanzees.

Comparative temporal response of toxicity for the neonicotinoid clothianidin and organophosphate dimethoate insecticides in two species of solitary bee (Osmia bicornis and Osmia cornuta)

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Solitary bees provide essential pollination services. Concerns for the decline of these wild bee species have led to calls for their inclusion in pesticide risk assessment. Solitary bees differ from honey bees in their physiology and ecology and this may

Susceptibility of solitary bees to agrochemicals highlights gaps in bee risk assessment

Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology
Ground-nesting solitary bees are the most abundant bee species in the xeric areas of the world, but the effects of agrochemicals on them have been little studied. Herein, we evaluated the topical toxicity of an insecticide, a herbicide, and an essential oil on Mediterranean ground-nesting bees (Andrena impunctata, A. nigroolivacea, A.

Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...
