Institutionalizing alternative economic spaces? An interpretivist perspective on diverse economies (2017)
Journal Article
Krueger, R., Schulz, C., & Gibbs, D. C. (2018). Institutionalizing alternative economic spaces? An interpretivist perspective on diverse economies. Progress in human geography, 42(4), 569-589. https://doi.org/10.1177/0309132517694530

This article offers an approach that helps geographers and others to carefully and critically reexamine prospects for diverse economies. We propose an interpretative institutionalist perspective is useful for elucidating overlooked opportunities for... Read More about Institutionalizing alternative economic spaces? An interpretivist perspective on diverse economies.

Mitochondrial DNA analysis of eneolithic trypillians from Ukraine reveals neolithic farming genetic roots (2017)
Journal Article
Nikitin, A. G., Potekhina, I., Lillie, M., Mallick, S., Nikitin, A., Potiekhina, I. D., Reich, D., & Rohland, N. (2017). Mitochondrial DNA analysis of eneolithic trypillians from Ukraine reveals neolithic farming genetic roots. PLoS ONE, 12(2), e0172952. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0172952

The agricultural revolution in Eastern Europe began in the Eneolithic with the Cucuteni-Trypillia culture complex. In Ukraine, the Trypillian culture (TC) existed for over two millennia (ca. 5,400–2,700 BCE) and left a wealth of artifacts. Yet, their...

Relation between modern pollen rain, vegetation and climate in northern China: Implications for quantitative vegetation reconstruction in a steppe environment (2017)
Journal Article
Ge, Y., Li, Y., Bunting, M. J., Li, B., Li, Z., & Wang, J. (2017). Relation between modern pollen rain, vegetation and climate in northern China: Implications for quantitative vegetation reconstruction in a steppe environment. Science of the Total Environment, 586, 25-41. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2017.02.027

© 2017 Elsevier B.V. Vegetation reconstructions from palaeoecological records depend on adequate understanding of relationships between modern pollen, vegetation and climate. A key parameter for quantitative vegetation reconstructions is the Relative...

Climate variability in SE Europe since 1450 AD based on a varved sediment record from Etoliko Lagoon (Western Greece) (2017)
Journal Article
Koutsodendris, A., Brauer, A., Reed, J., Plessen, B., Friedrich, O., Hennrich, B., Zacharias, I., & Pross, J. (2017). Climate variability in SE Europe since 1450 AD based on a varved sediment record from Etoliko Lagoon (Western Greece). Quaternary science reviews, 159, 63-76. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2017.01.010

To achieve deeper understanding of climate variability during the last millennium in SE Europe, we report new sedimentological and paleoecological data from Etoliko Lagoon, Western Greece. The record represents the southernmost annually laminated (i....

Identifying hotspots and management of critical ecosystem services in rapidly urbanizing Yangtze River Delta Region, China (2017)
Journal Article
Cai, W., Gibbs, D., Zhang, L., Ferrier, G., & Cai, Y. (2017). Identifying hotspots and management of critical ecosystem services in rapidly urbanizing Yangtze River Delta Region, China. Journal of environmental management, 191, 258-267. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2017.01.003

Rapid urbanization has altered many ecosystems, causing a decline in many ecosystem services, generating serious ecological crisis. To cope with these challenges, we presented a comprehensive framework comprising five core steps for identifying and m...

Sustainability transitions and leapfrogging in latecomer cities : the development of solar thermal energy in Dezhou, China (2017)
Journal Article
Yu, Z., & Gibbs, D. (2018). Sustainability transitions and leapfrogging in latecomer cities : the development of solar thermal energy in Dezhou, China. Regional studies, 52(1), 68-79. https://doi.org/10.1080/00343404.2016.1260706

Sustainability transitions in cities in emerging economic contexts are rarely addressed. The paper addresses this issue by investigating the drivers and barriers in the diffusion of solar thermal energy in two Chinese cities, Dezhou and Beijing. The...

Biopower, heterogeneous biosocial collectivities and domestic livestock breeding (2017)
Book Chapter
Foucault and Animals (239-259). Brill Academic Publishers. https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004332232_012

This chapter explores Foucault’s concept of biopower and its focus on the regulation and fostering of life. It examines the analytical potential of Foucault’s anthropocentric conceptualisation in examples involving nonhuman animals. Specifically, it...
