Ubiquity and Diversity of Human-Associated Demodex Mites

PLOS ONE, 9(8).

By: M. Thoemmes n, D. Fergus n, J. Urban *, M. Trautwein n & R. Dunn n 

Contributors: M. Thoemmes n, D. Fergus n, J. Urban *, M. Trautwein n & R. Dunn n

BIOLOGY LETTERS, 10(11).

By: E. Meineke n, R. Dunn n  & S. Frank n 

Contributors: E. Meineke n, R. Dunn n  & S. Frank n 

author keywords: climate change; urban ecology; ecosystem services; parasitoid
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Control Agents; Cities; Global Warming; Hemiptera / growth & development; Hemiptera / parasitology; Insecta / growth & development; Insecta / physiology; Larva / growth & development; Larva / physiology; North Carolina; Nymph / growth & development; Nymph / parasitology; Pest Control, Biological; Trees / growth & development
TL;DR: Evidence that a pest develops earlier due to urban warming but that phenology of its parasitoid community does not similarly advance is provided, associated with greater egg production that likely leads to more pests on trees. (via Semantic Scholar)

EFFECTS OF SUBSTRATE TYPE ON DEMOGRAPHIC RATES OF EASTERN OYSTER (CRASSOSTREA VIRGINICA)

JOURNAL OF SHELLFISH RESEARCH, 33(1), 177–185.

By: R. Dunn n , D. Eggleston n & N. Lindquist

author keywords: oyster; Crassostrea virginica; restoration; bioerosion; clionid sponge; salinity; recruitment; growth
TL;DR: Results support consideration of non-CaCO3 materials, particularly concrete, for future oyster reef restoration, especially in high-salinity areas where the boring sponge Cliona is abundant, because both oyster density and growth were similar on oyster shell and concrete substrates as long as 1 y after reef construction.

OECOLOGIA, 176(4), 1161–1172.

By: R. Marchin*, R. Dunn n  & W. Hoffmann n

Contributors: R. Marchin*, R. Dunn n  & W. Hoffmann n

author keywords: Experimental warming; Vapor pressure deficit; Reproduction; Photosynthesis; Temperate forest understory

TL;DR: Temperature in the future will likely be an important limiting factor to the distribution of T. discolor, especially along the southern edge of its range, and the need to account for changes in VPD when estimating temperature responses of plant species under future warming scenarios is highlighted.

author keywords: Ant communities; climate change; differential equations; mechanistic models; species interactions

By: M. Burt *, R. Dunn n , L. Nichols n & N. Sanders *

Contributors: M. Burt *, R. Dunn n , L. Nichols n & N. Sanders *

author keywords: active warming; climatic warming; insect herbivory; interspecific interaction; intraspecific interaction; Quercus alba; warming experiment; white oak
TL;DR: The results indicate species responses to climatic warming may be contingent on intra- and interspecific interactions, sometimes in complicated and counter-intuitive ways. (via Semantic Scholar)

Changes in ant community composition caused by 20 years of experimental warming vs. 13 years of natural climate shift

ECOSPHERE, 5(1).

By: S. Menke *, J. Harte * & R. Dunn n 

Contributors: S. Menke *, J. Harte * & R. Dunn n 

author keywords: climate change; community composition; elevation gradient; Formicidae; Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory; warming experiment
TL;DR: Interestingly, after 20 years of experimental warming, there is little discernible effect on ant communities in experimentally warmed plots compared to control plots, probably an effect of the spatial scale of the experimental warming. (via Semantic Scholar)
