Susceptibility of Helicoverpa armigera from different host plants in northern China to Bacillus thuringiensis toxin Cry1Ac
CROP PROTECTION, 30(11), 1421–1424.
author keywords: Cry1Ac; Helicoverpa armigera; Transgenic Bt cotton; Corn; Wheat
TL;DR:
It is suggested that alternate crops, such as corn, that maintain Bt susceptible populations of H. armigera populations derived from different host crops could be used as refugia to minimize the evolution of resistance to Bt cotton.

Effects of propagule type on genetic parameters of wood density and growth in a loblolly pine progeny test at ages 10 and 11 years
TREE GENETICS & GENOMES, 7(6), 1147–1158.
author keywords: Pinus taeda; Wood density; Heritability; Clones; Vegetative propagation
TL;DR:
Nine full-sib families of loblolly pine produced by a 3 × 3 factorial mating design showed that individual-tree and family heritability estimates from rooted cuttings were similar to or higher than those from seedlings for all traits, which suggests that wood density and height breeding value estimates can be estimated by traditional seedling tests, but not for tree diameter.

Heating up the forest: open-top chamber warming manipulation of arthropod communities at Harvard and Duke Forests
METHODS IN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 2(5), 534–540.
Contributors: S. Pelini*, F. Bowles*, A. Ellison *, N. Gotelli *, N. Sanders * & R. Dunn n
author keywords: arthropod; climate change; Formicidae; long-term ecological research; open-top chamber; warming experiment
TL;DR:
Long‐term experimental field manipulations that directly test the predictions about organisms’ responses to climate change across latitude are lacking could provide a more mechanistic understanding of the consequences of climate change on ecological communities and subsequent changes in ecosystem processes, facilitating better predictions of the effects of future climate change.

Genetic Modulation of Rpd3 Expression Impairs Long-Term Courtship Memory in Drosophila
PLoS ONE, 6(12), e29171.
Ed(s): E. Skoulakis
MeSH headings : Animals; Brain / metabolism; Courtship; Drosophila Proteins / genetics; Drosophila Proteins / metabolism; Drosophila melanogaster / enzymology; Drosophila melanogaster / genetics; Drosophila melanogaster / physiology; Gene Knockdown Techniques; Histone Deacetylase 1 / genetics; Histone Deacetylase 1 / metabolism; Histone Deacetylases / metabolism; Memory, Long-Term / physiology; Phenotype; RNA Interference; Survival Analysis; Tubulin / metabolism
TL;DR:
It is found that while modulation of Rpd3 levels predominantly in the adult mushroom body had no observed impact on immediate recall or one-hour memory, 24-hour LTM was severely impaired and surprisingly, both overexpression as well as RNAi-mediated knockdown of RPD3 resulted in impairment of long-term courtship memory.

Forecasting the future of biodiversity: a test of single- and multi-species models for ants in North America
ECOGRAPHY, 34(5), 836–847.
Contributors: M. Fitzpatrick *, N. Sanders *, S. Ferrier*, J. Longino *, M. Weiser n & R. Dunn n
TL;DR:
It is suggested that warm rather than cold regions potentially could experience the greatest changes in ant fauna under climate change and that multi-species models may represent an important complement to SDMs, particularly in analyses involving large numbers of rare or poorly-sampled species.
