Do the ‘big four’ orders of insects comprise evolutionarily significant higher taxa with coherent patterns of selection on protein-coding genes? by Février, PJ, Barraclough, T

“…In contrast, higher taxa are mostly regarded as convenient labels for levels in the tree of life, which reflect evolutionary history if defined cladistically but are assumed to have no real significance for ongoing evolution. …”

Another world is possible: reconceptualizing the “safe space”metaphor at a feminist safer space in New York City by Dlugatch, R

“…Although Mayor Giuliani’s “quality of life” laws are often credited for making NYC the safest it has ever been, Pocketbooks positions itself as a “safer space” from a city (and society) that has become increasingly unsafe.…”
