Direct and indirect effects of episodic frost on plant growth and reproduction in subalpine wildflowers

Global Change Biology, 24(2), 848–857.

By: G. Pardee  n, D. Inouye * & R. Irwin n

TL;DR: Overall, it is found that flowering plants exhibited species‐specific direct and pollinator‐mediated indirect responses to frost, thus suggesting that frost may play an important role in affecting plant communities under climate change. (via Semantic Scholar)

Foraging strategy predicts foraging economy in a facultative secondary nectar robber

Oikos, 126(9), 1250–1257.

By: S. Richman *, R. Irwin n & J. Bronstein *

TL;DR: Foraging strategy was a major predictor of foraging efficiency, with legitimate foraging being significantly more efficient than secondary robbing, and the need for deeper investigations into why bees adopt secondary robbing as a foraging strategy, specifically, the environmental contexts that promote the behavior.

Context-dependent medicinal effects of anabasine and infection-dependent toxicity in bumble bees

PLOS ONE, 12(8), e0183729.

By: E. Palmer-Young *, A. Hogeboom*, A. Kaye *, D. Donnelly*, J. Andicoechea*, S. Connon  n, I. Weston*, K. Skyrm*, R. Irwin n, L. Adler *

Ed(s): J. Hull

MeSH headings : Anabasine / toxicity; Animals; Bees / drug effects; Bees / parasitology; Host-Parasite Interactions / drug effects; Infections / drug therapy
TL;DR: Variation in the effect of anabasine on infection suggests potential modulation of tritrophic interactions by both host genotype and environmental variables, and suggests that the medicinal effects and toxicity of an abasine may be context dependent. (via Semantic Scholar)

author keywords: agri-environment scheme; foraging distance; landscape connectivity; habitat fragmentation; floral resources
TL;DR: These results suggest that bumblebee colonies encountered sufficient floral resources within the local 1.4 ha habitat fragments to support colony growth, making long-distance foraging trips to neighboring fragments unnecessary. (via Semantic Scholar)

Abiotic conditions drive significant variability in nutrient processing by a common Caribbean sponge, Ircinia felix

LIMNOLOGY AND OCEANOGRAPHY, 62(4), 1783–1793.

By: S. Archer n, J. Stevens n, R. Rossi n, K. Matterson* & C. Layman n

TL;DR: It is shown that a common Caribbean sponge, Ircinia felix, is capable of being both a source and a sink for DOC, ammonium, nitrate/nitrite, and phosphate, and abiotic conditions, particularly ambient nutrient availability, seem to explain a significant amount of the variability.

Habitat fragmentation has some impacts on aspects of ecosystem functioning in a sub-tropical seagrass bed

MARINE ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH, 126, 95–108.

By: J. Sweatman*, C. Layman n & J. Fourqurean *

author keywords: Habitat fragmentation; Disturbance; Food-webs; Plant-herbivore interactions; Stoichiornetry; Amphipod; Epiphytes; Seagrass
MeSH headings : Ecosystem; Environmental Monitoring; Herbivory; Zosteraceae / physiology
TL;DR: Fragmentation did not impact top-down control on epiphyte biomass or community composition, despite reduced amphipod density in fragmented habitats, suggesting that severely scarred seagrass beds could be subject to changes in internal nutrient stores and Amphipod distribution.

Trophic role of demersal mesopredators on rocky reefs in an equatorial Atlantic Ocean island

JOURNAL OF APPLIED ICHTHYOLOGY, 33(1), 47–53.

By: E. Pinheiro*, C. Layman n, J. Castello* & T. Leite *

TL;DR: Stable isotope data suggest potential competitive interactions between the whitespot moray and the other two mesopredators, and stomach content data suggest little niche overlap in the three focal species, but these data must be interpreted carefully because of the small sample sizes and restricted temporal sampling windows.
