No Cocoa Without Deforestation? A Field‐Type Analysis of Forest Frontiers in West Africa

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper analyses the interrelations of production systems, class relations and deforestation in a smallholder forest frontier. Using the concept of field types, we provide a plot‐level analysis of deforestation processes in West Africa, where smallholders convert forest into cocoa farms.

Understanding Online Meaning‐Making: Normativity, Polycentricity, and Memetic Communication Through a Chronotopic‐Scalar Lens

Journal of Sociolinguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article investigates memetic interaction as an illustrative example of complex polycentric online communication. Using a chronotopic‐scalar framework, it offers a theorized account of how online (inter)action works, how it is guided by (perceptions of) normativities, and how it is in dialogue with the “offline.” Specifically, I focus on ...

Identification and functional analysis of class 3 lipases associated with triacylglycerol metabolism in Nannochloropsis oceanica (Eustigmatophyceae)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Microalgae accumulate triacylglycerols (TAGs) as storage lipids in response to nutrient limitation, yet the mechanisms governing TAG turnover remain incompletely understood. In the oleaginous microalga Nannochloropsis oceanica, functional studies of TAG degradation have focused on lipases containing patatin domains, whereas the roles of other ...
