Biological invasions disrupt the relationship between size spectrum and trophic interactions in freshwater fish communities

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study shows that non‐native species alter the relationship between the size‐spectrum slope and the predator–prey mass ratio (PPMR) in freshwater fish communities by occupying distinct trophic niches. Abstract The size spectrum, which describes the relationship between abundance (or biomass) and body size, is an ataxic approach that can provide ...

High-density forest AGB estimation in tropical forest integrated with PolInSAR multidimensional features and optimized machine learning algorithms

Ecological Indicators
Accurately estimating the above-ground biomass (AGB) of high-density tropical rainforests is a challenging issue. In this study, airborne multi-baseline PolInSAR data were used to estimate the tropical rainforest AGB in Gabon, Africa.

ORCHESTRATING DIFFERENCE AND SIMILARITY: Black Fungibility, and the Spatial Redrawing of Racial Categories in Spanish Colonial Morocco, Sahara and Guinea

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article I dissect the spatial strategies through which the Spanish attempted to orchestrate both racial difference and similarity in the African colonies of Morocco, Western Sahara and Equatorial Guinea during the first half of the twentieth century.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Anti-Plasmodium falciparum Activity of a New Copper(II) Complex Containing 2-(Tert-Butoxy)-6-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)pyridine. [PDF]

ChemMedChem
The graphical abstract illustrates the formation of a Cu(II) complex from azole‐based ligand, highlighting metal–ligand synergy. The resulting coordination compound acts as a bioactive entity against Plasmodium, where metal coordination enhances antiparasitic activity, outperforming the free ligand and demonstrating its potential as an antimalarial ...

Comparative review of urban geometric parameters and their uses in outdoor thermal environment studies

Journal of Urban Management
A significant proportion of the world's population is currently experiencing heat stress. This results from the effects of global warming, urban heat islands (UHIs), and the growth of urban populations.

How Cultural Taste Shapes Recognition and Redistribution Struggles: Far‐Right Politics, Touristification and the Political Economy of Taste

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article connects cultural taste to capitalist mechanisms of redistribution through the concept of political economy of taste. Building on Bourdieusian scholarship on recognition struggles and drawing on Mike Savage and Nancy Fraser, it examines how public performances of taste reshape representations of working‐class culture and how these

Mainland diversification and recent island lineages in the reduviid genus Tapirocoris: an integrative taxonomic framework with four new species

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Using an integrative taxonomic framework that combines COI DNA barcodes, geometric morphometrics and phylogeography, we revise the assassin bug genus Tapirocoris and recover seven well‐supported species, including four newly described cryptic species.

ForestForTrees: An R package to infer forest structure from remote sensing data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Estimating forest size‐abundance distributions is essential for understanding demographic processes and structural dynamics. Remote sensing provides broad coverage but often misses smaller trees hidden beneath the canopy, complicating inference of the full size distribution.

Inferring processes within dynamic forest models using hybrid modelling

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Modelling forest dynamics under novel climatic conditions requires a careful balance between process‐based understanding and empirical flexibility. Dynamic vegetation models (DVM) represent ecological processes mechanistically, but their performance is sensitive to misspecified functional forms and to unavoidable structural simplifications ...
