Influence of elevation, climate, snowmelt and floral abundance on body size of solitary bees

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
We measured body size in bee species from a 10‐year specimen collection from Colorado sub‐alpine meadows (2450–3450 m) and tested effects of elevation and annual snowmelt, climate and floral abundance. 2 out of 4 bee species collected across a broad elevation range showed a decline in body size with higher elevations; the other two showed no effect ...

Social bees can enhance the persistence of plant–bee interactions during seasonal changes in seasonally dry tropical forests

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Social bees, especially Meliponini, formed a persistent core that maintained plant–bee interactions across both dry and green seasons in the Caatinga. Persistence was not linked to broader diets; social bees used fewer plant species, despite availability, indicating selective tracking of temporally concentrated floral resources.

Honeybees directly outcompete other flower visitors through interference competition on shared resource

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
The outcomes of encounters between honeybees and other flower visitors were observed on two plant species. Pollinators either win, lose or share a resource. Competitive interactions led to greater than expected ‘wins’ for honeybees. The honeybee displaced or gave chase when interacting with another pollinator in at least 20% of winning outcomes ...

Spinoza on Humans as Social Animals

European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract Spinoza repeatedly suggests that humans are set apart from other animals by their rational and moral abilities. Yet he disparages the traditional definition of the human as a ‘rational animal’ and several of his other views suggest that these abilities are not sufficient by themselves to characterize human nature.

The Mechanics of Critique

European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract Immanent critique is often presented as a distinctive approach to political and social philosophy. But Rachel Fraser argues that immanent critique cannot satisfy three plausible criteria that characterise it as a distinctive approach: it cannot be normatively significant, social, and make no appeal to external standards.

Was there ever an Animal Dasein? Heidegger's Concept of Life in the 1924 Aristotle Lecture

European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract This essay examines Heidegger's interpretation of the Aristotelian concept of life in his 1924 lecture Basic Concepts of Aristotelian Philosophy. While scholars have emphasized the text's decisive role in the preparation of Being and Time, their readings have largely centered on the notions of praxis and human existence.
