Disease where you dine: plant species and floral traits associated with pathogen transmission in bumble bees

Ecology, 99(11), 2535–2545.

author keywords: bee decline; bee parasites; Bombus impatiens; Crithidia; environmental reservoir; floral traits; foraging behavior; trait-based; transmission hotspots
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees; Crithidia; Flowers / anatomy & histology; Phenotype; Plants
TL;DR: Variation among plant species, through their influence on pathogen transmission, may shape bee disease dynamics, and surprisingly, floral size and morphology did not significantly predict transmission across species. (via Semantic Scholar)

2003 journal article

Pair-edge approximation for heterogeneous lattice population models

THEORETICAL POPULATION BIOLOGY, 64(3), 271–280.

By: N. Thomson n & S. Ellner*

author keywords: invasion; lattice model; stochastic spatial model; pair approximation; spatial heterogeneity
MeSH headings : Algorithms; Birth Rate; Humans; Models, Biological; Population Dynamics
TL;DR: It is found that, as in the homogeneous model, the pair-edge approximation is significantly more accurate than the ordinary pair approximation in determining conditions for persistence, however, habitat heterogeneity decreases invasion speed more than is predicted by the couple approximation, and the discrepancy increases with greater clustering of "dead" sites.

By: S. Ellner n, J. Fieberg n, D. Ludwig* & C. Wilcox*

MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; Daphnia / genetics; Daphnia / physiology; Energy Metabolism; Models, Statistical; Nonlinear Dynamics; Ovum; Population Dynamics
TL;DR: The model predicts egg energy in Daphnia magna well, and suggests that the observed egg energy is the result of selection for minimal egg investment constrained by minimum viable egg energy, combined with selection for a juvenile energy reserve. (via Semantic Scholar)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 92(1), 1–16.

By: S. Peck*, F. Gould* & S. Ellner*

TL;DR: It is found that the spatial scale and the temporal pattern of refuges can have a strong effect on the development of resistance to B. thuringiensis in transgenic cotton and delays in larval development time on Bt cotton may either increase or decrease the rate of resistance development, depending on complex interactions with the length of the growing season.

By: S. Peck n & S. Ellner*

TL;DR: Rotation is most beneficial when migration rates are either very high or very low and has little effect at intermediate migration rates, so the level of resistance in a given field may be only weakly related to the history of pesticide treatment in that field. (via Semantic Scholar)

MeSH headings : Aging; Animals; Biological Evolution; Computer Simulation; Diploidy; Gene Frequency; Genetic Variation; Haploidy; Mathematics; Models, Genetic
TL;DR: For a range of genetic models, it is found that the condition for maintaining genetic diversity generalizes almost without change, and requires fitness fluctuations that are substantial but well within the range observed in many studies of natural populations. (via Semantic Scholar)

Simulation model of recirculating mariculture with seaweed biofilter: Development and experimental tests of the model

By: S. Ellner n, A. Neori*, M. Krom*, K. Tsai n & M. Easterling n

author keywords: simulation; model; recirculating; Sparus aurata; seaweed; biofilter
TL;DR: Simulation experiments indicate that the experimental system could support much higher stocking densities of fish without exceeding tolerable levels of ammonia-N, and sensitivities to internal transformation rate parameters were lower, which might explain the relative seasonal constancy of the system.

ROLE OF OVERLAPPING GENERATIONS IN MAINTAINING GENETIC-VARIATION IN A FLUCTUATING ENVIRONMENT

AMERICAN NATURALIST, 143(3), 403–417.

By: S. Ellner n & N. Hairston

TL;DR: It is suggested that temporally fluctuating selection can indeed contribute significantly to the maintenance of genetic variation when the effects of overlapping generations and age-specific or stage-specific selection are considered, and it is found that an evolutionarily stable population must have positive genetic variance maintained by selection.
