Making Mining Licit: Gold, Commodification, and the Everyday Performance of Law in Colombia
American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 480-493, September 2026.ABSTRACT Ethnographies of resource‐making have shown that the extraction of resource value from objects is premised on obviating the emplaced lifeworlds that surrounded objects before they traveled to consumer markets. Much of this literature looks at such supply‐chain disentanglement from the viewpoint of corporate and formal regulatory practices ...

Clogmia albipunctata Larvae Influence the Odour Dynamics of Rotting Organic Matter
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 1053-1062, September 2026.Drain flies live in organic waste. We investigated how drain fly larvae influence the unpleasant smells produced by sewage sludge and rotting nettle. Although the perception of these smells did not change significantly according to the public, chemical analyses showed that sewage sludge with drain fly larvae yielded a different composition of odors ...

Renaissance Studies, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 712-738, September 2026.Abstract Upon entering the Urbino studiolo of Federico da Montefeltro, the visitor is struck by a material‐charged environment.

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, Volume 98, Issue 8, Page 514-524, August 2026.All energy matters Let us broaden the discussion on solutions to climate change. Greenhouse gases have upset the delicate equilibrium of the Earth's energy balance. Consequently, all sources of heat affect the temperature of the Earth. Although the amount of additional heat generated by humans is a fraction of that produced by the sun, it is generated ...

Site‐specific climate responses of soil decomposer biodiversity in forests
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Climate change strongly impacts forest ecosystems, exacerbating drought stress, tree mortality, and shifts in species composition. While aboveground changes are well documented, belowground biodiversity and its response to climate‐driven alterations remain less studied.

Beyond temperature: The environmental constraints of high‐mountain microrefugia
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.Cold spots in an alpine landscape often sit on poor, rocky, carbon‐low soils rather than well‐developed ground. As climate warms, alpine plants may find these cold refuges too harsh to colonize, since many depend on richer soils than nival and subnival species do.
