CROP PROTECTION, 89, 255–258.
author keywords: Anthonomus signatus; Strawberry; Reduced-risk; Microbial insecticide

Comparison of two detailed models of Aedes aegypti population dynamics
Ecosphere, 7(10), e01515.
author keywords: Aedes aegypti; model comparison; mosquito-borne diseases; population dynamics; spatial model; vector control
TL;DR:
It is shown that predictions of population recovery by the models differ substantially, an effect likely related to model assumptions regarding larval development and (direct or delayed) density dependence, and revealing the impact of model assumptions on population dynamics predictions in unperturbed and perturbed conditions.

A missed opportunity for US biotechnology regulation
Kuzma, J. (2016, September 16). SCIENCE, Vol. 353, pp. 1211–1213.
Contributors: J. Kuzma n
MeSH headings : Biodiversity; Biotechnology; Humans; Public Policy; United States
TL;DR:
The White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) interagency process for reviewing the framework fell short in multiple ways, which has prevented clarification and restructuring of the regulatory system, as well as opportunities to increase the legitimacy of that system in the eyes of the public and stakeholders.

A General, Synthetic Model for Predicting Biodiversity Gradients from Environmental Geometry
AMERICAN NATURALIST, 188(4), E85–E97.
author keywords: biological diversity; environmental geometry; mathematical model; niche; species range; species richness
MeSH headings : Biodiversity; Climate; Food Chain; Models, Theoretical; Phenotype
TL;DR:
A mathematical model is presented that synthesizes multiple pathways by which environmental geometry can drive diversity gradients and suggests that previous assessments of geometric hypotheses should be reconsidered and that environmental geometry may play a deeper role in driving biodiversity gradients than is currently appreciated.

Interaction of bisphenol A (BPA) and soy phytoestrogens on sexually dimorphic sociosexual behaviors in male and female rats
HORMONES AND BEHAVIOR, 84, 121–126.
author keywords: Endocrine disruption; Neuroendocrine disruption; Neuropeptides; Social; Diet; Open field; Affiliation; Activity; Environment

TL;DR:
Testing the individual and combined effects of low dose oral BPA and soy diet or the individual isoflavone genistein on rat sociosexual behaviors with the hypothesis that soy would obfuscate any BPA-related effects reinforces that environmental factors can shape complex behaviors and even reverse expected sex differences.
