ABSTRACT Terrestrial detritivores such as isopods and springtails play a vital role in cycling nutrients through soil ecosystems. Microplastics (MPs, < 5 mm) are increasingly recognized as contaminants of terrestrial soils, yet little is known about whether soil invertebrates themselves are impacted by consuming these plastics or if they can generate ...

When sharing becomes shameful: atmospheres of class formation in Namibia Quand le partage devient honteux : ambiances de formation de classes en Namibie

In this article, I trace this shift to the affective dynamics of social class formation.
