author keywords: Noctuidae; Heliothis virescens; Heliothis subflexa; Sex pheromone production; Biosynthetic pathway; Candidate genes
MeSH headings : Animals; Biosynthetic Pathways; Evolution, Molecular; Female; Insect Hormones / biosynthesis; Insect Hormones / genetics; Male; Moths / genetics; Moths / metabolism; Quantitative Trait Loci; Sex Attractants / biosynthesis; Sex Attractants / genetics
TL;DR:
Quantitative Trait Locus analysis by hybridizing two noctuid moth species and backcrossing the F(1) females to males of both parental species reveals new QTL, which implicates several candidate genes in the divergence of these premating signals.

Haptic feedback and students' learning about levers: unraveling the effect of simulated touch
Computers & Education, 53(2), 667–676.
TL;DR:
The results indicate that while the total fixation time on the levers and numeric readout was greater for the visual and haptic group, very similar patterns of visual attention were seen between groups and perhaps surprisingly, the visual only group scored higher on an embedded assessment.

Effects of antibiotics and oil on microbial profiles and fermentation in mixed cultures of ruminal microorganisms
JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE, 92(9), 4467–4480.
author keywords: ionophore; soybean oil; rumen microbial diversity; continuous culture
MeSH headings : Ammonia / metabolism; Animals; Anti-Bacterial Agents / pharmacology; Bacteria / classification; Bacteria / drug effects; Biodiversity; Bioreactors; Cattle; Fatty Acids, Volatile / metabolism; Female; Fermentation / drug effects; Hydrogen-Ion Concentration; In Vitro Techniques; Methane / metabolism; Rumen / microbiology; Soybean Oil / pharmacology
TL;DR:
The terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism data suggest that microbial adaptation to the in vitro system in the control fermentor occurred within 4 d, and in contrast, treatments MO, OM, BO, and OB had little effect on culture fermentation despite differences in the patterns of microbial fragments.

Does productivity drive diversity or vice versa? A test of the multivariate productivity-diversity hypothesis in streams
ECOLOGY, 90(5), 1227–1241.
author keywords: biodiversity; ecosystem production and function; freshwater algae; species richness
MeSH headings : Animals; Bacteria; Biodiversity; Biomass; California; Diatoms; Eukaryota; Fertilizers; Models, Biological; Multivariate Analysis; Nitrates; Phosphates; Population Dynamics; Rivers
TL;DR:
The results suggest that the MPD hypothesis is a viable explanation of patterns of diversity and productivity in natural stream ecosystems, and that it has potential to merge the historical view that productivity drives diversity with a parallel view that diversity drives productivity.

Dispersal traits linked to range size through range location, not dispersal ability, in Western Australian angiosperms
GLOBAL ECOLOGY AND BIOGEOGRAPHY, 18(5), 596–606.
Contributors: A. Gove n, M. Fitzpatrick *, J. Majer* & R. Dunn n
author keywords: Angiosperm diversity; biogeography; dispersal; latitude; myrmecochory; Western Australia
TL;DR:
Range size did not vary with dispersal mode (ant versus wind and vertebrate dispersal) or life-form, and instead varied primarily as a function of the biogeographical region in which a species was found, but range placement did vary among dispersal modes.

Differential Incorporation of Cholesterol by Sindbis Virus Grown in Mammalian or Insect Cells
JOURNAL OF VIROLOGY, 83(18), 9113–9121.
MeSH headings : Alphavirus Infections / etiology; Animals; Cell Line; Cell Membrane / chemistry; Cholesterol / analysis; Cholesterol / deficiency; Cholesterol / metabolism; Insecta; Lipids / analysis; Mammals; Mass Spectrometry; Sindbis Virus / metabolism; Sindbis Virus / pathogenicity
TL;DR:
The cholesterol dependence reported for infectivity and assembly of Sindbis virus is a reflection of differences in the insect cell lines used and the methods of delipidation, and the amount of cholesterol in the host cell membrane in and of itself has no effect on the process of virus assembly or on the ability of virus to infect cells.

Temperature-mediated coexistence in temperate forest ant communities
INSECTES SOCIAUX, 56(2), 149–156.
Contributors: J. Lessard *, R. Dunn n & N. Sanders *
author keywords: Coexistence; Dominance; Temperature; Tradeoff; Formicidae; Coweeta LTER
TL;DR:
Temperature plays numerous roles in promoting regional coexistence in this system, and species richness was positively related to site average annual temperature and within-site variation in ground temperature, suggesting that temperature also shapes the structure of ant communities and regulates diversity.
