Polygenic sex determination in the cichlid fish Astatotilapia burtoni
BMC GENOMICS, 17.
author keywords: Sex determination; Polygenic sex determination; Cichlid; Fish; Evolution; Astatotilapia burtoni
MeSH headings : Animals; Cichlids / genetics; Evolution, Molecular; Female; Genetic Association Studies; Genetic Linkage; Inheritance Patterns; Male; Penetrance; Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide; Sex Determination Processes / genetics; Sex Ratio
TL;DR:
Mapping results supporting the presence of multiple, novel sex determination alleles in A. burtoni provide a foundation for future mapping of multiple sex determination genes and their interactions and provide important context for their use in behavioral studies, as well as studies of the evolution of genetic sex determination and sexual conflicts in East African cichlids.

Mutual dilution of infection by an introduced parasite in native and invasive stream fishes across Hawaii
PARASITOLOGY, 143(12), 1605–1614.
author keywords: Biological invasions; dilution effect; Hawai'i; poeciliid; Awaous stamineus; Camallanus cotti
MeSH headings : Animals; Fish Diseases / epidemiology; Fish Diseases / parasitology; Fishes / parasitology; Hawaii / epidemiology; Nematode Infections / epidemiology; Nematode Infections / parasitology; Nematode Infections / veterinary; Parasite Load; Prevalence; Rivers
TL;DR:
Evidence of a mutual dilution effect indicates that introduced hosts can ameliorate parasitism of native fishes by co-introduced parasites, which raises questions about the value of remediation actions, such as the removal of introduced hosts, in stemming the rise of infectious disease in species of conservation concern.

Life Inside an Acorn: How Microclimate and Microbes Influence Nest Organization in Temnothorax Ants
ETHOLOGY, 122(10), 790–797.
author keywords: nest architecture; thermoregulation; microbes; pathogens; ants; Temnothorax
TL;DR:
The relatively strong response of T. curvispinosus to microbial growth inside their nests suggests that pathogen pressures—in addition to microclimate—have a significant impact on how colonies use nest spaces.

Improving Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Biodegradation in Contaminated Soil Through Low-Level Surfactant Addition After Conventional Bioremediation
ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING SCIENCE, 33(9), 659–670.
Contributors: A. Adrion*, D. Singleton*, J. Nakamura*, D. Shea n & M. Aitken*
author keywords: bioremediation; bacterial community; PAH; soil; surfactant; toxicity
TL;DR:
Research using submicellar doses of surfactant as a second-stage treatment step is limited and these findings can inform the design of bioremediation systems at field sites treating soil contaminated with PAHs and other hydrophobic contaminants that have low bioaccessibility.

TL;DR:
Findings complement previous reports of lateralized nucleus accumbens volume in humans, and suggest that this may possibly be driven via hemispheric differences in nucleus Accumbens core volume.

author keywords: double-digest RAD sequencing; high-throughput sequencing; reduced representation sequencing; restriction enzyme digests
MeSH headings : Animals; DNA / chemistry; DNA / metabolism; DNA Restriction Enzymes / metabolism; Fishes / genetics; Genomics / methods; Insecta / genetics; Sequence Analysis, DNA / methods
TL;DR:
The results of this study provide empirical evidence of the utility of this method for producing consistent data for diverse nonmodel species and suggest specific considerations for sequencing analysis strategies.

Colonization and demographic expansion of freshwater fauna across the Hawaiian archipelago
JOURNAL OF EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY, 29(10), 2054–2069.
author keywords: amphidromy; evolutionary history; goby; Hawai'i; island biogeography; snail
MeSH headings : Animals; Aquatic Organisms; Biodiversity; Fresh Water; Hawaii; Perciformes; Population Dynamics; Snails
TL;DR:
It is found that colonization and demographic expansion are not related and that neither corresponds to island age, indicating that stream communities form across colonization windows, underscoring the importance of ecological opportunities in shaping island freshwater diversity.

Climatic warming destabilizes forest ant communities
SCIENCE ADVANCES, 2(10).
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / physiology; Forests; Global Warming; North America
TL;DR:
It is shown that the AMOC collapses 300 years after the atmospheric CO2 concentration is abruptly doubled from the 1990 level, highlighting the need to develop dynamical metrics to constrain models and the importance of reducing model biases in long-term climate projection.

MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; Female; Genitalia, Female / anatomy & histology; Genitalia, Female / physiology; Genitalia, Male / anatomy & histology; Genitalia, Male / physiology; Male; Reproductive Isolation; Selection, Genetic
TL;DR:
It is hoped this work provides a roadmap toward increased understanding of the causes and consequences of the conspicuous diversity of primary sexual traits, and thus toward new insights into the evolution of complex traits and the phenotypic causes of speciation.

Predicting multifarious behavioural divergence in the wild
ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR, 121, 3–10.
author keywords: activity; aggression; behavioural syndrome; boldness; exploration; personality; poeciliid fish; predation; sociability
TL;DR:
The results suggest that environmental variation, such as chronic predation risk, can lead to repeatable, and often predictable, changes in multifarious animal behaviours, and that various aspects of behaviour can diversify more or less independently of one another.
