Ecologists, educators, and writers collaborate with the public to assess backyard diversity in The School of Ants Project
ECOSPHERE, 5(7).
author keywords: ants; citizen science; distribution; diversity; public participation in scientific research; urban ecosystems
TL;DR:
Data from the School of Ants program indicate that ant diversity varies across wide geographic scales and that there can be high levels of native ant diversity where people live, and to address concerns about the validity of citizen scientist-derived data, a ground truthing trial was conducted that confirmed that trained and untrained volunteers were equally effective at collecting ants.

Consequences of alternative dispersal strategies in a putatively amphidromous fish
ECOLOGY, 95(9), 2397–2408.
author keywords: amphidromy; Awaous stamineus; complex life cycle; connectivity; cost-benefit; dispersal strategy; fitness; growth; Hawaii; larvae; metapopulation; stream fish
TL;DR:
Investigating variability in dispersal histories of a freshwater fish, Awaous stamineus, across the species' entire geographic range in the Hawaiian archipelago finds that individuals with marine dispersal have shorter larval durations and faster larval growth, and their growth advantage over purely freshwater counterparts continues to some degree into adult life.

Aspergillus flavus infection induces transcriptional and physical changes in developing maize kernels
Frontiers in Microbiology, 5.
author keywords: Aspergillus flavus; maize; transcription; genetic; aflatoxins; pathogenesis
TL;DR:
Data indicate that infection of the maize kernel by A. flavus induced metabolic changes in the kernel, including the production of a defense response, as well as a disruption in kernel development, which indicates host response to infection by the fungus.

author keywords: Brazilian crania; Ancestry assessment; Sex assessment; FORDISC; 3D-ID
MeSH headings : Brazil; Female; Forensic Anthropology / methods; Humans; Male; Population Groups / ethnology; Sex Determination by Skeleton / methods; Software / standards
TL;DR:
Testing the accuracy of ancestry and sex assessment using four identification software tools shows that regardless of the software algorithm employed and composition of the reference database, all methods were able to allocate approximately 50% of Brazilian specimens to an appropriate major reference group.

Predictor performance with stratified data and imbalanced classes
Stone, E. A. (2014, August).
MeSH headings : Evolution, Molecular; Exome / genetics; Genetic Variation / genetics; HapMap Project; High-Throughput Nucleotide Sequencing; Humans
TL;DR:
The results provide strong evidence that machine-learning classifiers must incorporate all known biological knowledge and embrace differences in the level of functional importance of positions when assembling training and testing datasets and invalidate Vihinen's conclusion that the accuracy of the prediction of ultraconserved and lessconserved sites are lower.

TL;DR:
The results do not corroborate previous observations supporting organismal-wide detrimental effects by dosage compensation on X-linked male-biased expressed genes and find no evidence that dosage compensation has played a role in the arrangement of dosage compensated male- biased genes on the X chromosome.

Increased cellular brevetoxins in the red tide dinoflagellate Karenia brevis under CO2 limitation of growth rate: Evolutionary implications and potential effects on bloom toxicity
LIMNOLOGY AND OCEANOGRAPHY, 59(2), 560–577.
Contributors: D. Ransom Hardison*, W. Sunda*, P. Tester *, D. Shea n & R. Wayne Litaker*
TL;DR:
The results indicate that anthropogenic increases in CO2 concentrations in surface ocean waters are likely to increase the toxicity of K. brevis blooms due to potential increases in bloom biomass yield and to a greater likelihood that dense blooms will become N or P limited rather than CO2 limited.

Erythrocyte folate concentrations, CpG methylation at genomically imprinted domains, and birth weight in a multiethnic newborn cohort
EPIGENETICS, 9(8), 1120–1130.
author keywords: birth weight; DNA methylation; imprinted genes; folate; epidemiology; epigenetics
MeSH headings : Adolescent; Adult; Birth Weight / genetics; Cohort Studies; CpG Islands; DNA Methylation; Epigenesis, Genetic; Erythrocytes / metabolism; Ethnicity; Female; Folic Acid / blood; Genomic Imprinting; Humans; Infant, Newborn; Male; Pregnancy; Racial Groups; Young Adult
TL;DR:
The data suggest that, with respect to birth weight, no additional benefits may be derived from increased maternal folate concentrations, especially in non-obese women, and support epigenetic plasticity as a key mechanistic response to folate availability during early fetal development.

Ecosystem fragmentation drives increased diet variation in an endemic livebearing fish of the Bahamas
ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 4(16), 3298–3308.
author keywords: Bahamas mosquitofish; food webs; individual specialization; niche variation; predation; RNA/DNA ratios; stable isotopes
TL;DR:
It is shown that fragmentation-induced release from predation led to increased G. hubbsi population densities, which consequently led to lower mean growth rates, likely as a result of higher intraspecific competition for food, suggesting that habitat fragmentation can greatly impact the ecology of resilient populations.

DO MALES MATTER? TESTING THE EFFECTS OF MALE GENETIC BACKGROUND ON FEMALE MEIOTIC CROSSOVER RATES IN DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER
EVOLUTION, 68(9), 2718–2726.
author keywords: Drosophila; meiosis; recombination
MeSH headings : Animals; Crossing Over, Genetic; Drosophila melanogaster / genetics; Female; Male; Meiosis; Recombination, Genetic; X Chromosome
TL;DR:
The results indicate that although female genetic background significantly affects female meiotic crossover rates in Drosophila, male genetic background and the interaction of female and male genetic backgrounds have no significant effect, suggesting that male‐mediated effects are unlikely to contribute greatly to variation in recombination rates in natural populations of Drosophile.
