WASTELAND ACTIVISM: Political Weeds and Ecological Imaginaries in Montreal

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 1332-1346, September 2026.
Abstract Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Montreal, this article examines the ways in which urban dwellers and activists engage with the living materialities of wastelands to illuminate evolving ecological imaginaries and their political potentials.

Making Mining Licit: Gold, Commodification, and the Everyday Performance of Law in Colombia

open access: yesAmerican 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 ...

Where the Magician Lives: An Ontological Problem in the Anthropology of Magic

open access: yesAnthropology of Consciousness, Volume 37, Issue 2, Fall 2026.
ABSTRACT The purpose of the present study is to outline a theoretical framework in which the anthropologist can introduce a naturalistic approach, which will not be conflicted with scientific discourses, into his ethnographic work. First of all, I argue that the principles of magic can be understood as a part of social cognitive causal chains, based on

Can Organic Amendments Override Environmental Filtering of Soil Microbiomes? Evidence From 20 Years Old Agricultural Field Trials in Contrasting Tropical Sites

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Across four long‐term Kenyan maize trials, site was the dominant driver of microbial community composition and N‐cycling gene abundance. Among organic amendments, farmyard manure most strongly enriched copiotrophic taxa and raised prokaryotic diversity.

Competitive N uptake between rice and weedy rice

Field Crops Research, 2006
Abstract Weedy rice, red rice ( Oryza sativa L.), is a serious problem in rice-producing areas of the southern U.S. and various regions worldwide. It competes for production inputs, increases weed control cost, reduces yield and grain quality, and could eliminate economic returns.

Weedy rice: An expanding problem in direct‐seeded rice in the Philippines

Weed Biology and Management, 2020
AbstractWeedy rice is morphologically similar to cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.). It has biological characteristics that identify it as a weed. Its important weedy characteristics, that is, early and heavy seed shattering, makes it very difficult to control.

Characterization of lodging variation of weedy rice

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2022
AbstractWeedy rice (Oryza spp.), one of the most notorious weeds of cultivated rice, evades eradication through stem lodging and seed shattering. Many studies have focused on seed shattering, whereas variations in lodging have received less attention and the underlying mechanisms that cause the differences in lodging between weedy and cultivated rice ...

The origins of weedy rice

Molecular Ecology, 2007
AbstractWhere do weeds come from? How do they evolve from nonweedy ancestors? In this issue of Molecular Ecology, Londo and Schaal examine the origin of weedy rice (Oryza sativa) populations in the USA. Analysing nuclear DNA sequence and microsatellite data, they show the importance of parallel evolution, hybridization, gene flow, and migration in the ...

Signatures of adaptation in the weedy rice genome

Nature Genetics, 2017
Crop domestication provided the calories that fueled the rise of civilization. For many crop species, domestication was accompanied by the evolution of weedy crop relatives, which aggressively outcompete crops and reduce harvests. Understanding the genetic mechanisms that underlie the evolution of weedy crop relatives is critical for agricultural weed ...
