The Global Pesticide Complex: Infrastructure, Fragility and Frontiers of Agrarian Change
ABSTRACT Although most pesticides have long been on the market, the political economy surrounding their production, regulation and use has undergone considerable change, spurring renewed interest in the social sciences. The global pesticide complex (GPC) is an analytical device to understand the multidimensional nature of these changes. In this special

Whole‐genome duplication promotes phenotypic and genetic adaptation to elevation
Fitness of diploids (2x) and tetraploids (4x) of Biscutella laevigata from low (circles) and high (triangles) elevation transplanted across elevation at 585, 1236 and 1967 m above sea level. Summary Whole‐genome duplication (WGD) is often considered as either an adaptive dead‐end or a facilitator of rapid adaptation under changing environments.
