Courtwatching involves grassroots efforts to observe the day-to-day work of decision making in justice systems, usually undertaken by activists as a way to scrutinise and challenge the power of legal professionals such as judges. This paper argues for closer attention to courtwatching in legal geographical research. Numerous courtwatching programmes exist around the world, and the first part of the paper surveys some of these, giving a sense of their diversity, the challenges they can face, and the influence that they have.

- Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a rising public health threat linked to the excessive use of antibiotics in shrimp farming, especially in low- and middle-income countries with lax regulations.
- The integration of aquaculture with local livelihoods and the direct release of untreated waste into water sources contribute to this risk.
- Addressing AMR in shrimp farming is complex due to challenges in tracking antibiotic usage and the reliance on these drugs for disease control, highlighting the need for improved practices and mitigation strategies for a sustainable shrimp industry.
Comparative phylogeography of five widespread tree species: Insights into the history of western Amazonia.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the spatial distribution and genetic variation of five tree species in the western Amazon, investigating whether their phylogeographic patterns align with historical processes like Pleistocene refugia.
- Researchers sequenced DNA from 674 individuals across different populations to analyze genetic diversity and structure, finding that shade-tolerant species had higher genetic diversity than pioneer species.
- Results showed that while some genetic groups were identified, the phylogeographic patterns differed significantly among species, suggesting that individual species respond uniquely to geological and climatic changes rather than following a shared biogeographic history.
