Seasonal Variation in Host Plant Chemistry Drives Sequestration in a Specialist Caterpillar
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 48(1), 79–88.
TL;DR:
Variation in host plant secondary metabolites may be a dominant factor driving sequestration, but other ecological factors may mitigate the relationship between host plant chemistry and herbivore sequestration.

Plant removal across an elevational gradient marginally reduces rates, substantially reduces variation in mineralization
Ecology, 103(1).
author keywords: biodiversity loss; carbon mineralization; elevational gradient; nitrogen mineralization; plant removal; plant-soil linkages
MeSH headings : Biomass; Ecosystem; Nitrogen; Plants; Soil; Soil Microbiology
TL;DR:
The results present a surprisingly simple and consistent pattern of belowground response to the loss of dominant plant species across an elevational gradient with different climatic and edaphic properties, suggesting a common response ofBelowground ecosystem function to plant species loss regardless of which plant species are lost or the broader climatic context.

The Sensory and Cognitive Ecology of Nectar Robbing
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 9.
author keywords: cognition; foraging; nectar robbing; pollination; plant reproduction; sensory ecology
TL;DR:
This review considers nectar robbing behavior either when individuals use robbing as their only foraging strategy or when they switch between robbing and legitimate foraging, and discusses sensory and cognitive biases, learning, and the role of a variable environment in making decisions about robbing vs. foraging legitimately.

Population Viability of Sea Turtles in the Context of Global Warming
BIOSCIENCE, 71(8), 790–804.
author keywords: climate change; temperature-dependent sex determination; thermal tolerance; operational sex ratio; effective population size
TL;DR:
By reviewing research on sea turtles, this article provides an overview of how temperature impacts on incubating eggs may cascade through life history to ultimately affect population viability and underscores the importance of considering the effects of climate throughout the life history of any species.

The costs and benefits of sunflower pollen diet on bumble bee colony disease and health
Ecosphere, 12(7).
author keywords: bee health; conservation; disease ecology; parasitology; pollination biology; pollination services; tri-trophic interactions
TL;DR:
Evidence is provided that sunflower pollen as part of a mixed pollen diet can reduce infection in individual bees and whole colonies with no significant nutritional trade-offs for colony worker production and most aspects of colony reproduction.

Floral traits affecting the transmission of beneficial and pathogenic pollinator-associated microbes
Current Opinion in Insect Science, 44, 1–7.
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees / microbiology; Behavior, Animal; Disease Transmission, Infectious; Flowers / microbiology; Host Microbial Interactions; Pollination
TL;DR:
There is a near-absence of experimental manipulations of floral traits to determine causal effects on transmission, and a need to understand how floral, microbe and host traits interact to mediate transmission.

A review of sourdough starters: ecology, practices, and sensory quality with applications for baking and recommendations for future research
PEERJ.
author keywords: Sourdough; Ecology; Artisanal; Baking; Sensory; Bread; Bacteria; Yeast; Fermentation
TL;DR:
This review highlights what is currently known about the microbial ecosystem of sourdough, methods of maintaining Sourdough (analogous to land management) on the path to bread production, and factors that influence the sensory qualities of the final baked product.

Consuming Costly Prey: Optimal Foraging and the Role of Compensatory Growth
FRONTIERS IN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 8.
author keywords: durophagy; food web; growth compensation; niche partitioning; predator-prey interactions; prey choice; resource competition; trophic ecology
TL;DR:
It is found that consumption of hard-shelled gastropods results in significantly reduced growth rate, but compensatory growth following prior snail consumption can quickly mitigate growth costs.

Nectar addition changes pollinator behavior but not plant reproduction in pollen‐rewarding <i>Lupinus argenteus
American Journal of Botany, 108(3), 402–410.
author keywords: Bombus; floral reward strategy; foraging; nectar addition; novel phenotype; pollen limitation; pollinator reward; single‐ visit deposition
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees; Female; Flowers; Humans; Lupinus; Male; Plant Nectar; Pollen; Pollination; Reproduction; Reward
TL;DR:
The results suggest that a pollen-only reward strategy may allow plants that are visited by pollen foragers to minimize some costs of reproduction by eliminating investment in other rewards, such as nectar, without compromising female plant fitness.

The influence of floral resources and microclimate on pollinator visitation in an agro-ecosystem
AGRICULTURE ECOSYSTEMS & ENVIRONMENT, 307.
author keywords: Coffea arabica; Coffea canephora; Floral diversity; Shade; Temperature; Wind
TL;DR:
It was found that high nectar sugar concentration and temperature were important predictors of short floral visits to bees and the presence of other bees affected the amount of time bees spent foraging on coffee flowers and the proportion of coffee pollen carried on their bodies.

Optimum lionfish yield: a non-traditional management concept for invasive lionfish (Pterois spp.) fisheries
BIOLOGICAL INVASIONS, 23(3), 795–810.
author keywords: Age structure; Belize; Fishery management; Invasive species; Maximum sustainable yield; Optimum lionfish yield; Population model
TL;DR:
The model indicates that lionfish in Belize are biologically robust to fishing pressure, which corroborates previous findings and support continued establishment of (managed) commercial lionfish fisheries throughout the invaded range to provide an alternative sustainable fishery resource and serve as a means of national- and international-level control.
