A photorespiratory bypass increases plant growth and seed yield in biofuel crop Camelina sativa
BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR BIOFUELS, 8(1).
Contributors: J. Dalal n, H. Lopez n, N. Vasani n, Z. Hu n, J. Swift n, R. Yalamanchili n, M. Dvora n, X. Lin n
author keywords: Camelina; Seed yield; Biofuel; Photorespiratory bypass; Photosynthesis
TL;DR:
By reducing photorespiratory losses and increasing photosynthetic CO2 fixation rates, transgenic plants show dramatic increases in seed yield, and the bypass approach may have significant impact on increasing agricultural productivity for C3 crops.

Species richness, but not phylogenetic diversity, influences community biomass production and temporal stability in a re-examination of 16 grassland biodiversity studies
FUNCTIONAL ECOLOGY, 29(5), 615–626.
author keywords: biodiversity; community biomass; data synthesis; ecosystem functioning; grasslands; phylogenetic diversity; relatedness; stability
TL;DR:
It is shown that, after statistically controlling for variation in SR, PD (the sum of branches in a molecular phylogenetic tree connecting all species in a community) is neither related to mean community biomass nor to the temporal stability of biomass, run counter to past claims.

Regional-scale patterns of soil microbes and nematodes across grasslands on the Mongolian plateau: relationships with climate, soil, and plants
ECOGRAPHY, 38(6), 622–631.
TL;DR:
The findings suggest that the soil nematode and microbial communities are strongly controlled by bottom-up effects of precipitation alone or in combination with soil conditions, particularly at the regional scale where multiple environmental gradients co-vary.

High diversity in an urban habitat: are some animal assemblages resilient to long-term anthropogenic change?
URBAN ECOSYSTEMS, 18(2), 449–463.
Contributors: B. Guénard*, A. Cardinal-De Casas n & R. Dunn n
author keywords: Urban ecosystem; Long term study; Formicidae; Disturbance; Invasive species
TL;DR:
The results show that while the number of exotic species increased, including three major invasive ants, native ant species richness remained high, and represent one of the most species-rich urban environments monitored and thus open encouraging perspective on how urban ecosystems could contribute to the preservation of the biodiversity of small-bodies organisms such as ants.

Diet quality mitigates intraspecific larval competition in Drosophila suzukii
ENTOMOLOGIA EXPERIMENTALIS ET APPLICATA, 156(1), 59–65.
author keywords: nutrition; development; carbohydrates; sterols; invasive species; raspberry; Rubus idaeus; Diptera; Drosophilidae; spotted wing drosophila; Rosaceae
TL;DR:
Drosophila suzukii management may need to account for both host nutritional quality and relative competition to accurately predict turnover and geographic expansion, and there is evidence that larvae compensated in both low‐quality diets by extending development time, which could have consequences for population dynamics.

Characterization and evolution of Salmonella CRISPR-Cas systems
MICROBIOLOGY-SGM, 161, 374–386.
TL;DR:
Salmonella CRISPR-Cas systems are no longer immunogenic; rather, their impressive conservation indicates they may have an alternative function in Salmonella, and high level of conservation across divergent serovars shows that the genetic integrity of these inactive loci is maintained over time, contrasting with the canonical view that inactive CRISpr loci degenerate over time.

CRISPR-based screening of genomic island excision events in bacteria
PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 112(26), 8076–8081.
author keywords: CRISPR; lactic acid bacteria; transposons; IS-elements; Cas9
MeSH headings : Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats; Gene Deletion; Genome, Bacterial; Homeostasis; Homologous Recombination; Streptococcus thermophilus / genetics; Streptococcus thermophilus / growth & development
TL;DR:
This study shows that CRISPR-Cas systems can be directed to target and delete genomic islands that are flanked by insertion-sequence elements and devoid of essential genes, and established that self-targeting CRISpr-cas systems may direct significant evolution of bacterial genomes on a population level, influencing genome homeostasis and remodeling.
