Spread of an introduced parasite across the Hawaiian archipelago independent of its introduced host
FRESHWATER BIOLOGY, 60(2), 311–322.
author keywords: Awaous stamineus; biological invasions; enemy addition; parasite; Camallanus cotti
TL;DR:
It is shown that the effects of ‘enemy addition’ can extend beyond the range of non-native hosts through the independent spread ofNon-native parasites, suggesting that control of non -native hosts is not sufficient to halt the spread of introduced parasites.

FIELD CROPS RESEARCH, 171, 11–22.
author keywords: Sweetpotato clones; Drought tolerance; Storage root yield; Drought sensitivity index; Drought stress; Environment

Contributors: R. Dunn n
TL;DR:
Water temperatures in the North Atlantic have increased by up to 1.3oC since the 1980s, and this has had a direct effect on the distribution of small fish species, which has seen a rise in subtropical species like sardines and anchovies, and a loss of native species like herring and sprat.

Hallauer's Tuson: a decade of selection for tropical-to-temperate phenological adaptation in maize
HEREDITY, 114(2), 229–240.
Contributors: J. Teixeira*, T. Weldekidan *, N. De Leon *, S. Flint-Garcia *, J. Holland* , N. Lauter *, S. Murray *, W. Xu *
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Physiological / genetics; Crops, Agricultural / genetics; Flowers / physiology; Gene-Environment Interaction; Genetics, Population; Linear Models; Models, Genetic; Phenotype; Photoperiod; Selection, Genetic; Temperature; Zea mays / genetics; Zea mays / physiology
TL;DR:
Results suggest that adaptation was primarily due to selection on genetic main effects tailored to temperature-dependent plasticity in flowering time, and the original population exhibited a maladaptive syndrome including excessive ear and plant heights along with later flowering; this was reduced in frequency by selection for flowering time.
