Nectar chemistry mediates the behavior of parasitized bees: consequences for plant fitness
Ecology, 97(2), 325–337.
TL;DR:
Nectar secondary metabolites can mediate the behavior of pollinators with subsequent benefits for estimates of plant reproduction, and are demonstrated to be important in the attraction of mutualists rather than deterrence of antagonists.

Consequences of a nectar yeast for pollinator preference and performance
Functional Ecology, 31(3), 613–621.
Ed(s): G. Kudo
TL;DR:
It is suggested that nectar yeasts can enhance floral signaling as well as alter pollinator foraging behavior at individual flowers, though they may not directly affect pollinator performance.

Trophic structure of pelagic species in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea
JOURNAL OF SEA RESEARCH, 117, 27–35.
author keywords: Stable isotopes; Pelagic fish; Isotopic niche; Food web; Community structure; Seasonal; Trophic segregation
TL;DR:
Stable isotope analyses used to investigate trophic interactions in the pelagic ecosystem of the northwestern Mediterranean Sea during 2012 and 2013 suggest that European sardine, Sardina pilchardus, and anchovy, Engraulis encrasicolus, are consumers located at relatively low levels of the Pelagic food web.

Bumble bee parasite strains vary in resistance to phytochemicals
Scientific Reports, 6(1).
MeSH headings : Anabasine / pharmacology; Animals; Bees / parasitology; Cells, Cultured; Crithidia / drug effects; Crithidia / pathogenicity; Crithidia / physiology; Eugenol / pharmacology; Host-Parasite Interactions; Phytochemicals / pharmacology; Thymol / pharmacology; Thymus Plant / chemistry
TL;DR:
Exposure of C. bombi to naturally occurring levels of phytochemicals—either within bees or during parasite transmission via flowers—could influence infection in nature, suggesting that selection for phytochemical resistance could drive parasite evolution.

Geographic variation in resistance to nectar robbing and consequences for pollination
AMERICAN JOURNAL OF BOTANY, 103(10), 1819–1828.
author keywords: Carolina jessamine; common garden experiment; nectar robbing; Gelsemium sempervirens; geographic mosaic; Loganiaceae; pollination; resistance
MeSH headings : Animal Distribution; Animals; Biological Evolution; Flowers / physiology; Gelsemium / physiology; Georgia; Insecta / physiology; Plant Nectar / analysis; Pollination; Symbiosis
TL;DR:
It is indicated that geographic variation can play a strong role structuring interactions with floral antagonists and mutualists and provides evidence consistent with the hypothesis that local resistance to nectar robbing imposes costs in terms of decreased pollinator attraction and reproduction.

author keywords: Crithidia; Lotmaria; Molecular diagnostics; Nosema; Pathogen survey
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees / parasitology; Polymerase Chain Reaction; Serbia; Species Specificity; Trypanosomatina
TL;DR:
Results support the hypothesis that L. passim has predominated over C. mellificae in A. mellifera during the past decade, and species-specific primers for PCR were developed to detect this species.

Connectivity from a different perspective: comparing seed dispersal kernels in connected vs. unfragmented landscapes
ECOLOGY, 97(5), 1274–1282.
author keywords: Anemochory; connectivity; dispersal kernel; habitat fragmentation; isotope marker; landscape ecology; longleaf pine savanna; seed dispersal; zoochory
MeSH headings : Animals; Birds; Demography; Ecosystem; Magnoliopsida / physiology; Seeds / classification; Seeds / physiology; South Carolina
TL;DR:
Results show that corridors can facilitate dispersal probabilities comparable to those observed in unfragmented landscapes, and indicate that prior work has likely underestimated dispersal distances of wind-dispersed plants and that factors altering long-distance dispersal may have a greater impact on the spread of species than previously thought.

Fishing down nutrients on coral reefs
NATURE COMMUNICATIONS, 7.
MeSH headings : Animals; Anthozoa / growth & development; Anthozoa / metabolism; Biomass; Caribbean Region; Conservation of Natural Resources; Coral Reefs; Ecosystem; Fisheries; Fishes / growth & development; Fishes / metabolism; Food; Population Dynamics; Seawater / chemistry
TL;DR:
It is found that in fished sites fish-mediated nutrient capacity is reduced almost 50%, despite no substantial changes in the number of species, which suggests that a broader perspective that incorporates predictable impacts of fishing pressure on ecosystem function is imperative for effective coral reef conservation and management.

Effects of florivory on plant-pollinator interactions: Implications for male and female components of plant reproduction
AMERICAN JOURNAL OF BOTANY, 103(6), 1061–1070.
author keywords: florivory; floral herbivory; pollination; indirect effects; pollen transfer
MeSH headings : Animals; Coloring Agents / metabolism; Feeding Behavior / physiology; Flowers / physiology; Fluorescence; Gelsemium / physiology; Insecta / physiology; Pollination / physiology; Reproduction / physiology; Seeds / physiology
TL;DR:
The results suggest that florivory can have positive indirect effects on estimated male plant reproduction through changes in different pollinators' behavior at flowers, but the effects of floral damage vary with male vs. female function.

Evaluating the benefit of captive breeding and reintroductions to endangered Sonoran pronghorn
BIOLOGICAL CONSERVATION, 196, 133–146.
author keywords: Antilocapra americana sonoriensis; Arizona; Population viability analysis; Stochastic; Time series; Uncertainty analysis
TL;DR:
It is found that rates of change in the Sonoran pronghorn population were closely tied to the amount of precipitation in the area but that viability was greatly enhanced by conservation actions including the maintenance of a captive population, as well as the establishment of two additional populations outside the current range.

Comparison of zooxanthellae densities from upside-down jellyfish, Cassiopea xamachana, across coastal habitats of The Bahamas
REVISTA DE BIOLOGIA MARINA Y OCEANOGRAFIA, 51(1), 203–208.
author keywords: Benthic; facilitation; human impacts; heterotrophy; mutualism
TL;DR:
Gut contents from Cassiopea medusae were positively correlated to zooxanthellae densities, indicating that heterotrophically-derived nutrition may be an important factor in facilitating increased zooxanhellae population densities.

Seasonal variation in the secondary chemistry of foliar and reproductive tissues of Delphinium nuttallianum
BIOCHEMICAL SYSTEMATICS AND ECOLOGY, 65, 93–99.
author keywords: Larkspur; Delphinium; Norditerpene alkaloids; Plant parts; Life history
TL;DR:
It is suggested that alkaloid allocation in different plant parts of D. nuttallianum is influenced by life history of the plant, consistent with plant defense theory, and the ecological significance of this structural diversification awaits further exploration.

High fitness costs of climate change-induced camouflage mismatch
ECOLOGY LETTERS, 19(3), 299–307.
author keywords: Camouflage; climate change; evolutionary adaptation; evolutionary rescue; fitness; molt phenology; natural selection; phenological mismatch; snow cover; snowshoe hare
MeSH headings : Animals; Climate Change; Food Chain; Hares / physiology; Longevity; Molting; Phenotype; Population Dynamics; Population Growth; Seasons; Selection, Genetic; Snow
TL;DR:
It is concluded that evolutionary rescue will be critical for hares and other colour molting species to keep up with climate change and natural selection acting on wide individual variation in molt phenology might enable evolutionary adaptation to camouflage mismatch.

Prey naivete to invasive lionfish Pterois volitans on Caribbean coral reefs
MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES, 544, 257–269.
author keywords: Co-evolution; Exotic species; Food webs; Non-native species; Predator avoidance; Predator-prey interaction
TL;DR:
Prey naivete by at least 8 species of fish is suggested to be contributing to the rapid expansion of this invasive species by enhancing its fitness and reproductive output through high predation efficiency in the Atlantic.

A terrestrial-aquatic food web subsidy is potentially mediated by multiple predator effects on an arboreal crab
JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL MARINE BIOLOGY AND ECOLOGY, 475, 73–79.
author keywords: Behavior; Carbon flow; Food webs; Mangroves; Spatial subsidies
