Unexpected phenological responses of butterflies to the interaction of urbanization and geographic temperature
ECOLOGY, 95(9), 2613–2621.
Contributors: n, H. Cayton n, T. Wepprich n, C. Jenkins n, R. Dunn n , N. Haddad n, L. Ries *
author keywords: anthropogenic change; citizen science; global climate change; impervious surface; Lepidoptera; nonadditive effects; phenology; physiology; temperature; trait-based modeling
TL;DR:
Although shifts toward earlier phenology are typical of species' responses to either global climate change or urbanization, it was found that their interaction delayed several Ohio butterflies' first appearance and peak abundance phenology.

TL;DR:
These results are the first showing that termite breeding structure is shaped by local environmental factors and that species can vary in their responses to these factors.

Foraging by forest ants under experimental climatic warming: a test at two sites
ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 3(3), 482–491.
Contributors: K. Stuble*, S. Pelini*, n, D. Fowler*, R. Dunn n & N. Sanders *
author keywords: Climate change; critical thermal maximum; foraging; thermal tolerance; warming
TL;DR:
It is found that while climatic warming may alter patterns of foraging activity in predictable ways, these shifts vary among species and between sites, and more southerly sites and species with lower critical thermal maxima are likely to be at greater risk to ongoing Climatic warming.

Using Physiology to Predict the Responses of Ants to Climatic Warming
INTEGRATIVE AND COMPARATIVE BIOLOGY, 53(6), 965–974.
Contributors: n, C. Penick n, S. Pelini n, A. Ellison n, N. Gotelli n, N. Sanders n, R. Dunn n
MeSH headings : Acclimatization / physiology; Animals; Ants / physiology; Appetitive Behavior / physiology; Ecosystem; Genetic Fitness / physiology; Global Warming; Life Tables; Massachusetts; Models, Biological; North Carolina; Population Dynamics; Species Specificity; Survival Analysis; Temperature; Trees
TL;DR:
It is suggested that while physiological tolerance of temperature can be a useful predictive tool for modeling responses to climatic change, future efforts should be devoted to understanding the causes and consequences of variability in models of tolerance calibrated with different metrics of performance and fitness.

A physiological trait-based approach to predicting the responses of species to experimental climate warming
ECOLOGY, 93(11), 2305–2312.
Contributors: n, L. Nichols n , N. McCoy n, C. Hirsch n, S. Pelini*, N. Sanders *, A. Ellison *, N. Gotelli *, R. Dunn n
author keywords: critical thermal maximum; Duke Forest; North Carolina; USA; ectotherm responses to global warming; Formicidae; global change; Harvard Forest; Massachusetts; USA; maximum entropy; physiology; species distribution model; temperate hardwood forests; eastern North America; thermal tolerance
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Physiological / genetics; Adaptation, Physiological / physiology; Animals; Ants / classification; Ants / genetics; Ants / physiology; Climate Change; Ecosystem; Hot Temperature; Models, Biological; Species Specificity; Trees
TL;DR:
In environments close to a species' physiological limits, physiological trait-based measurements can successfully forecast the responses of species to future conditions, and such models may not be accurate for predicting site-level responses.

Common garden experiments reveal uncommon responses across temperatures, locations, and species of ants
ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 2(12), 3009–3015.
Contributors: S. Pelini*, n, H. MacLean *, A. Ellison *, N. Gotelli *, N. Sanders *, R. Dunn n
author keywords: Climate change; common garden; Formicidae; interspecies variation; intraspecies variation; warming experiment
TL;DR:
This work exposed colonies of two common ant species in the eastern United States to growth chamber treatments that simulated current and projected temperatures in central Massachusetts and central North Carolina within the next century, and suggested that populations of some common species may exhibit uniform declines in response to warming across their geographic ranges.

Contributors: J. Hulcr n, N. Rountree n, n, L. Stelinski *, N. Fierer * & R. Dunn n
MeSH headings : Ambrosia; Animals; Bacteria / classification; Bacteria / genetics; Bacteria / isolation & purification; Coleoptera / classification; Coleoptera / microbiology; Coleoptera / ultrastructure; DNA, Bacterial / analysis; DNA, Ribosomal; Ecosystem; Sequence Analysis, DNA; Species Specificity; Symbiosis
TL;DR:
It is concluded that ambrosia beetles are not obligately dependent on bacterial symbionts, and the mycangium hosts in multiple vertically transmitted bacteria such as Mycoplasma, most of which are likely facultative commensals or parasites.

Tradeoffs in the Evolution of Caste and Body Size in the Hyperdiverse Ant Genus Pheidole
PLOS ONE, 7(10).
Contributors: T. McGlynn*, n & R. Dunn n
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / genetics; Ants / physiology; Behavior, Animal; Biodiversity; Biological Evolution; Body Size / genetics; Ecology; Least-Squares Analysis; Phylogeny; Species Specificity
TL;DR:
It is concluded that production of soldiers in the most species-rich group of ants is regulated by a body size threshold mechanism, and that the great variation in body size and caste ratio in Pheidole plays a role in niche divergence in this rapidly evolving taxon.
