“…This ambiguity has led to the terms biodiversity and ecosystem being used almost synonymously, a mistake that is both epistemologically and politically damaging. To clear up this confusion, the term biodiversity should be reserved for what we observe when we characterise or discover “what there is” (a task for systematics) at the three infra-specific, specific and supra-specific levels, and the term ecosystem should be reserved for what we observe when we are interested in the functional interactions (“what it does”, a task for ecology) between living organisms, and between the latter and the abiotic environment.…”

The person in contemporary contexts of right-wing populism: an uncomfortable study by Luiz Fernando Dias Duarte, Marco Julián Martínez-Moreno

“…To achieve this, the historical antecedents of the phenomenon are revisited, and an overview of classical and contemporary theories and hypotheses are discussed-which enables us to recognise a structured pattern of affects, values, representations and practices that are reactive to enlightened Western modernity.
