Abstract In recent years the focus in ecology has shifted from species to a greater emphasis on functional traits. tandem with this shift, number of trait databases have been developed covering range taxa. Here, we introduce GlobalAnts database. Globally, ants are dominant, diverse and provide ecosystem functions. The database represents significant tool for that it (i) contributes global archive ant traits (morphology, life history) which complements existing (ii) promotes trait‐based...
To understand how researchers are tackling globally important issues, it is crucial to identify whether current research comprehensive enough make substantive predictions about general responses. We examined on climate change affecting insects being assessed, what factors tested and the localities of studies, from 1703 papers published between 1985 August 2012. Most (64%) generated Europe North America dedicated core data analysis, with 29% studies analysed Lepidoptera 22% Diptera: which...
Abstract: This paper takes issue with various theoretical perspectives that examine waste within the context of consumption, distribution, or excretion, yet fail to address capitalism as a totalizing mode production. In failing do this, these theories are not able make conceptual leap human-as-waste. By contrast, this engages in production-level standpoint and argues capitalism, its reduction labor factor production, speaks logic human disposability. On one hand, body laborer is used up...
Species traits may provide a short-cut to predicting generalities in species turnover response environmental change, particularly for poorly known taxa. We ask if morphological of assemblages respond predictably macrohabitats across large scale. Ant were collected at nine paired pasture and remnant sites from within three areas along 300 km distance. measured ten functional replicate individuals each species. used fourth corner model test associations between microhabitat variables,...
What forces structure ecological assemblages? A key limitation to general insights about assemblage is the availability of data that are collected at a small spatial grain (local assemblages) and large extent (global coverage). Here, we present published unpublished from 51 ,388 ant abundance occurrence records more than 2,693 species 7,953 morphospecies local assemblages 4,212 locations around world. Ants were selected because they diverse abundant globally, comprise fraction animal biomass...
Abstract Quantitative measures (morphological traits), which are influenced by species ecology, habitat use and evolutionary history, may be as important identity when assessing differences in community structures among land‐use types. We used ant communities the response taxa to assess how three different of diversity differ across types (Native Remnant, Native Pasture Crop Stubble). Ants were collected using pitfall traps sorted into morphospecies, abundances recorded, classified...
Reaction of Ag[C3(CN)5] and [MnIIITPP]Cl (TPP = meso-tetraphenylporphinato) leads to [MnIIITPP]+[C3(CN)5]-, which has been crystallographically, spectroscopically, magnetically characterized.This complex forms a 1-D ···D+A-D+A-··· coordination polymer with [C3(CN)5]- (A) having an unusual μ asymmetric bridge bonding the cation (D) being unusually puckered. The zero-field-splitting parameter is −4.0 K (−2.8 cm-1) for MnIII this six-coordinate environment.
We assessed the relative importance of a variety climatic and habitat variables in structuring ant communities along 300-km gradient. Sampling was conducted semiarid, transitional cool temperate zones New South wales, Australia. Ants were sampled at three paired sites two habitats (pastures conservation ‘remnants’) each (herein referred to as ‘zones’) using pitfall traps. Remnants represented original open forests, while pastures mix grassland vegetation cleared woodland. tested effects...
This article shows how Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) transforms nature into a space of feminist possibility. In particular, I show the film disrupts dominant narrative within Western environmentalism, what Carolyn Merchant calls Edenic recovery narrative. The traditional reproduces dyadic relationship between woman/nature as passive (object) and man active agent (subject). Yet, in disrupting narrative, allows for representation female that breaks from its traditionally accorded status. film,...
The female athlete triad (triad) is prevalent among aesthetic athletes, including dancers. However, there limited research regarding knowledge or educational interventions collegiate This study was intended to help correct that shortage. Participants (N = 24) completed two questionnaires: one assessed demographics, risk, and disordered eating (DE) risk; the other measured before after viewing a 10-minute video. Twenty-seven percent of participants were found be at risk for DE, 27% triad, 8%...
Background: Rheumatic heart disease affects 33 million people in low and middle income countries is the leading cause of cardiovascular death among children young adults. Penicillin prophylaxis prevents progression asymptomatic disease. Efforts to expand echocardiographic screening are focusing on simplified protocols, non-physician ultrasonographers, portable ultrasound devices, including handheld ultrasound. Recent advances support use single-view protocols. With increasing availability...
Not just a reductionist representation of overpopulation, Soylent Green offers nuanced critique capitalism. In the course film, audiences learn that seaplankton which soylent green is supposedly composed no longerexists. The audience horrified to discover by end film "soylent people." While seemingly horrific, notion humans cannibalizing themselves in order survive functions metaphorically for system capitalism, where human lives are cannibalized, wasted at ever accelerating rates procure...
“What if humanity left and some little robot got on kept doing the same thing forever?” Director Andrew Stanton his Pixar colleagues chewed this question over lunch one day in 1994. Though unanswered for a decade, eventually resurfaced to inspire 2008 animated blockbuster WALL-E, Pixar's ninth financial success row, which led its opening weekend with an estimated $62.5 million sales. Since release, when it won Best Animated Feature at The Academy Awards, Film of Year from Los Angeles Critics...

Introduction:The Climate Issue Timo Müller (bio) and Michelle Yates is emerging as the predominant problem of twenty-first century. The existential threat posed by climate change, which has long been understood in abstract, beginning to take concrete shape for more people. Released United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Change (IPCC), Sixth Assessment Report (2021) shows that change not only a dire present issue but also now irreversible next few hundred thousand years. documents an...
