2015 journal article
Gut bacteria mediate aggregation in the German cockroach
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 112(51), 15678–15683.
Contributors: A. Wada-Katsumata n , L. Zurek *, G. Nalyanya n, W. Roelofs*, A. Zhang * & C. Schal n
MeSH headings : Animals; Blattellidae / physiology; Communication; Feces / microbiology; Gastrointestinal Tract / microbiology; Pheromones / physiology
TL;DR:
The results indicate that the commensal gut microbiota contributes to production of VCAs that act as fecal aggregation agents and that cockroaches discriminate among the complex odors that emanate from a diverse microbial community.

2015 journal article
Snow cover has variable effects on persistence of fungicides and their suppression of microdochium patch on amenity turfgrass
PLANT PATHOLOGY, 64(6), 1417–1428.
author keywords: fungicide persistence; microdochium patch; turfgrass; winter
TL;DR:
Fungicides applied to turfgrass in temperate climates prior to snowfall are expected to suppress fungal diseases until infection conditions become unfavourable the following spring, but mild winters with inconsistent snow cover may alter fungicide persistence and render the turf more susceptible to fungal infection.

Systemic Imidacloprid Affects Intraguild Parasitoids Differently
PLOS ONE, 10(12).
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Control Agents; Biotransformation; Female; Hymenoptera / drug effects; Hymenoptera / physiology; Imidazoles / metabolism; Imidazoles / pharmacology; Insecticides / metabolism; Insecticides / pharmacology; Larva / drug effects; Larva / physiology; Lepidoptera / drug effects; Lepidoptera / growth & development; Lepidoptera / parasitology; Longevity / drug effects; Neonicotinoids; Nitro Compounds / metabolism; Nitro Compounds / pharmacology; Species Specificity; Tobacco / parasitology
TL;DR:
Findings suggest that there are effects of imidacloprid on multiple trophic levels, and that insecticide use may differentially affect natural enemies with similar feeding niches.

Predator exclusion cage for turtle nests: A novel design
Chelonian Conservation and Biology, 14(2), 196–201.
TL;DR:
A novel design, a roughly conical cage constructed using wooden dowels for bars, offers a portable, inexpensive, and reusable alternative for protecting nests of diamondback terrapins and potentially other emydid species.

NEW INFORMATION ABOUT THE CYPRESS WEEVIL, EUDOCIMINUS MANNERHEIMII (BOHEMAN, 1836) (COLEOPTERA: CURCULIONIDAE: MOLYTINAE): REDESCRIPTION, RANGE EXPANSION, NEW HOST RECORDS, AND REPORT AS A POSSIBLE CAUSATIVE AGENT OF TREE MORTALITY
COLEOPTERISTS BULLETIN, 69(4), 751–757.
author keywords: distribution; range expansion; Interior Highlands; Ozark Mountains; Hylobiini
TL;DR:
The cypress weevil is reported from northwestern Arkansas (new state record), and the suspected host in this area is eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana L.), which represents a new host record.

Characterization, Virulence, Epidemiology, and Management of Anthracnose in Celery
PLANT DISEASE, 99(12), 1832–1840.
TL;DR:
The pathogen Colletotrichum acutatum species complex had not been previously associated with celery in Michigan before this study, and the pathogen's genotype and phenotype were characterized, the influence of environmental conditions determined, and fungicides tested.

Urbanization Increases Pathogen Pressure on Feral and Managed Honey Bees
PLOS ONE, 10(11).
MeSH headings : Animals; Bacteremia / microbiology; Bacteremia / mortality; Bees / microbiology; Bees / parasitology; Bees / physiology; Bees / virology; Biomarkers / analysis; Immune System / immunology; Immune System / metabolism; Immune System / pathology; Parasitemia / mortality; Parasitemia / parasitology; Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction; Survival Rate; Urbanization; Virus Diseases / mortality; Virus Diseases / virology
TL;DR:
It is found that pathogen pressure on honey bees increased with urbanization and management, and the probability of worker survival declined 3-fold along the authors' urbanization gradient, suggesting that urban areas may favor problematic diseases of pollinators.

Quantifying the effects of wheat residue on severity of Stagonospora nodorum blotch and yield in winter wheat
Phytopathology, 105(11), 1417–1426.
MeSH headings : Ascomycota / physiology; Biomass; Host-Pathogen Interactions; Plant Diseases; Triticum / microbiology; Weather
TL;DR:
It is shown that when wheat residue was sparse, small additions to residue density produced greater increases in SNB than when residue was abundant, suggesting that the economic threshold for the disease may be higher than previously assumed and warrants review.
