How many and which ant species are being accidentally moved around the world?
Biology Letters, 10(8), 20140518.
Contributors: V. Miravete*, N. Roura-Pascual *, R. Dunn n & C. Gómez*
author keywords: biological invasions; exotic species; formicidae; richness estimator
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / physiology; Climate; Commerce; Geography; Introduced Species; Netherlands; New Zealand; United States
TL;DR:
This work used several non-parametric indices to estimate the number of species successfully introduced to or established in new regions and suggests that the numbers of introduced or established ants may be much larger than the numbers so far documented.

Early pest development and loss of biological control are associated with urban warming
BIOLOGY LETTERS, 10(11).
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.

A meta-analysis of arbuscular mycorrhizal effects on plants grown under salt stress
MYCORRHIZA, 24(8), 611–625.
author keywords: Arbuscular mycorrhiza; Meta-analysis; Salt stress; Nutrient uptake; Plant growth; Antioxidant enzymes
MeSH headings : Biomass; Mycorrhizae / physiology; Plant Roots / microbiology; Plant Shoots / microbiology; Plants / drug effects; Salt Tolerance; Sodium Chloride / toxicity
TL;DR:
It is concluded that under salt stress, mycorrhizal plants have extensive root traits and mycor rhizal morphological traits which help the uptake of more P and K, together with the enhanced production of antioxidant enzymes resulting in salt stress alleviation and increased plant biomass.

[Review of ]. Conservation Biology, 28(5), 1178–1187.
MeSH headings : Animals; Biodiversity; Conservation of Natural Resources; Plants
TL;DR:
No overarching support is found for concerns that construction and maintenance of habitat corridors may result in unintended negative consequences of predators and prey population size and persistence.

TL;DR:
This review describes how asymmetric cell divisions are regulated during development and in different cell types in both the root and the shoot of plants, and highlights ways in which omics and modelling approaches have been used to elucidate these regulatory mechanisms.

In insights into the genetic elements underlying seed-size variation in maize, the number of regions that overlapped with the long-term selection experiment did not exceed that expected by chance, possibly indicating unique sources of variation between the two populations.

Feasible Introgression of an Anti-pathogen Transgene into an Urban Mosquito Population without Using Gene-Drive
PLOS NEGLECTED TROPICAL DISEASES, 8(7).
MeSH headings : Aedes / genetics; Animals; Animals, Genetically Modified / genetics; Communicable Disease Control / methods; Insect Vectors / genetics; Mosquito Control / methods; Peru; Transgenes / genetics
TL;DR:
It is found that releasing mosquitoes carrying only an anti-pathogen construct can substantially decrease vector competence of a natural population, even at release ratios well below that required for the two currently feasible alternatives that rely on population reduction.

EFFECTS OF SUBSTRATE TYPE ON DEMOGRAPHIC RATES OF EASTERN OYSTER (CRASSOSTREA VIRGINICA)
JOURNAL OF SHELLFISH RESEARCH, 33(1), 177–185.
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.
