Sexting and Sexual Behavior, 2011-2015: A Critical Review and Meta-Analysis of a Growing Literature
[Review of ]. JOURNAL OF COMPUTER-MEDIATED COMMUNICATION, 22(3), 141–160.
author keywords: Sexting; Sexual Behavior; Text Messaging
TL;DR:
A critical review of the literature and analyzed data from 15 articles via quantitative meta-analytic techniques found sexting behavior was positively related to sexual activity, unprotected sex, and one's number of sexual partners, but the relationship was weak to moderate.

Mosquitoes of field and forest: the scale of habitat segregation in a diverse mosquito assemblage
MEDICAL AND VETERINARY ENTOMOLOGY, 31(1), 44–54.
author keywords: Disease ecology; habitat edges; landscape ecology; vector-borne pathogens
MeSH headings : Animal Distribution; Animals; Biodiversity; Culicidae / physiology; Ecosystem; Forests; Grassland; North Carolina; Population Density
TL;DR:
The present results suggest blood‐seeking mosquito species are faithful to certain habitats, which has consequences for patterns of vector diversity and risk for pathogen transmission, and developers of land management strategies should assess habitat at a finer scale than previously considered.

Higher immunocompetence is associated with higher genetic diversity in feral honey bee colonies (Apis mellifera)
CONSERVATION GENETICS, 18(3), 659–666.
Contributors: M. López-Uribe n, R. Appler n, E. Youngsteadt n, R. Dunn n , S. Frank n & D. Tarpy n
author keywords: Microsatellites; Antimicrobial peptides; Defensin; Hymenoptaecin; Management
TL;DR:
It is hypothesized that high genetic variability provides the raw material upon which natural selection acts and generates adaptive genotypes in unmanaged populations and that feral populations could be useful sources of genetic variation to use in breeding programs that aim to improve honey bee health.

Genital morphology and allometry differ by species and sex in Malawi cichlid fishes
HYDROBIOLOGIA, 791(1), 127–143.
author keywords: Genital morphology; Cichlid fishes; Sexual dimorphism; Anogenital distance; Genital papilla
TL;DR:
It is found that the most sexually distinct morphology is in the Lake Malawi rock cichlids and the least sexual dimorphism in the riverine outgroup; additionally, diversity in metrics within genus indicates that these traits are recently evolving.

Beyond thermal limits: comprehensive metrics of performance identify key axes of thermal adaptation in ants
FUNCTIONAL ECOLOGY, 31(5), 1091–1100.
Contributors: C. Penick n, S. Diamond *, N. Sanders * & R. Dunn n
author keywords: climate change; critical thermal limits; development; phenology; social insects; thermal adaptation
TL;DR:
The relationships between CTmax, thermal requirements of brood, and seasonal activity suggest two main strategies for growth and development in changing thermal environments: one where ants forage at higher temperatures over a short activity season, and another where antsForage at lower temperatures for an extended activity season.

An allelic series at pax7a is associated with colour polymorphism diversity in Lake Malawi cichlid fish
MOLECULAR ECOLOGY, 26(10), 2625–2639.
author keywords: allelic series; cichlid fish; colour morphs; pax7; pigmentation
MeSH headings : Africa, Eastern; Alleles; Animals; Cichlids / genetics; Color; Female; Fish Proteins / genetics; Lakes; PAX2 Transcription Factor / genetics; Phenotype; Pigmentation / genetics
TL;DR:
It is confirmed that pax7a-associated blotch morphs result primarily from modulation of melanophore development and survival, and should serve as a case study for understanding the molecular genetic control of pX7a expression and the evolution of sex-associated alleles.

Variation in Recombination Rate: Adaptive or Not?
[Review of ]. TRENDS IN GENETICS, 33(5), 364–374.
MeSH headings : Animals; Evolution, Molecular; Genetic Variation; Humans; Meiosis / genetics; Recombination, Genetic
TL;DR:
The apparent similarity of the variance in recombination rate among individuals between distantly related species suggests that the relative costs and benefits of recombination that establish the upper and lower bounds may be similar across species.

Mineral Availability as a Key Regulator of Soil Carbon Storage
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, 51(9), 4960–4969.
MeSH headings : Carbon; Minerals; Plant Roots / chemistry; Soil; Soil Pollutants
