2018 journal article

The ecology of insect–yeast relationships and its relevance to human industry

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 285(1875), 20172733.

By: A. Madden n, M. Epps*, T. Fukami *, R. Irwin n, J. Sheppard n, D. Sorger n, R. Dunn n 

author keywords: diffuse mutualism; dispersal; Ascomycota
MeSH headings : Animals; Ascomycota / physiology; Biological Evolution; Ecosystem; Food Industry; Humans; Insecta / microbiology; Plant Nectar / metabolism; Symbiosis
TL;DR: This work proposes a ‘dispersal–encounter hypothesis' whereby yeasts are dispersed by insects between ephemeral, spatially disparate sugar resources, and insects, in turn, obtain the benefits of an honest signal from yeasts for the sugar resources. (via Semantic Scholar)

Short-term response of snowshoe hares to western larch restoration and seasonal needle drop

RESTORATION ECOLOGY, 26(1), 156–164.

By: A. Kumar  n, J. Sparks* & L. Mills  n

author keywords: habitat; Larix occidentalis; Lepus americanus; movement; restoration treatment; SECR
TL;DR: It is suggested that a larch restoration treatment designed to accelerate the development of old-growth attributes can be implemented so as to have no measurable short-term detrimental effects on hares. (via Semantic Scholar)

Venus Flytrap Rarely Traps Its Pollinators

The American Naturalist, 191(4), 539–546.

By: E. Youngsteadt n, R. Irwin n, A. Fowler  n, M. Bertone n , S. Giacomini n, M. Kunz, D. Suiter*, C. Sorenson n

author keywords: Venus flytrap; Dionaea muscipula; pollination ecology; pollinator-prey conflict; niche overlap
MeSH headings : Animals; Arachnida / physiology; Droseraceae / physiology; Insecta / physiology; Pollination
TL;DR: Analysis of the Venus flytrap finds that certain bee and beetle species appear to be the most important pollinators, on the basis of their abundance, pollen load size, and pollen fidelity, within this diverse, generalized community. (via Semantic Scholar)

Assessing the Influence of Tilapia on Sport Fish Species in North Carolina Reservoirs

TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY, 147(2), 350–362.

By: M. Henson n, D. Aday n, J. Rice  n & C. Layman n

TL;DR: Tilapia are exploiting trophic niches that are not used by the sport fishes of interest in these two very different reservoir systems and that their direct impact on sport species is not substantial. (via Semantic Scholar)

Winter color polymorphisms identify global hot spots for evolutionary rescue from climate change

SCIENCE, 359(6379), 1033–1036.

By: L. Mills  n, E. Bragina n, A. Kumar  n, M. Zimova  n, D. Lafferty  n, J. Feltner n, B. Davis n, K. Hacklaender ...

MeSH headings : Animals; Biodiversity; Biological Mimicry; Climate Change; Molting; Pigmentation; Seasons; Vertebrates
TL;DR: Environmentally driven clinal gradients in winter coat color are identified, including polymorphic zones where winter brown and white morphs co-occur, which indicate hot spots for evolutionary rescue in a changing climate. (via Semantic Scholar)

2018 review

The ecology of fish in the surf zones of ocean beaches: A global review

[Review of ]. FISH AND FISHERIES, 19(1), 78–89.

By: A. Olds *, E. Vargas-Fonseca*, R. Connolly *, B. Gilby *, C. Huijbers *, G. Hyndes *, C. Layman n, A. Whitfield *, T. Schlacher *

author keywords: coastal conservation; fish; fisheries; ocean beach; surf zone; urbanization
TL;DR: The global literature on surf fish ecology is reviewed to better inform fisheries management and coastal conservation planning, suggesting that progress will be made by moving from largely descriptive studies to hypothesis-driven research, which is guided by contemporary ecological theory and adapts modern techniques from research in other ecosystems.
