Urbanization disrupts latitude-size rule in 17-year cicadas
ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 8(5), 2534–2541.
Contributors: D. Beasley n, C. Penick n, N. Boateng n, H. Menninger * & R. Dunn n
author keywords: Bergmann's rule; citizen science; fluctuating asymmetry; geometric morphometrics; periodical cicada; urban ecology
TL;DR:
This is the first evidence that urbanization disrupts biogeographical trends in body size, and this pattern highlights how the effects of urbanization may differ over a species’ range.

Thermal Tolerance and Survival of Nile Tilapia and Blue Tilapia under Rapid and Natural Temperature Declination Rates
TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY, 147(2), 278–286.
TL;DR:
The results suggest that selective breeding of white Nile Tilapia may have resulted in increased thermal tolerance during the process of developing this color variant, and the minimum lethal temperature of 8°C may explain why these tilapia species have been restricted to reservoirs with heated effluent in North Carolina.

BIOSCIENCE, 68(3), 182–193.
author keywords: interdisciplinary science; sustainability; complex systems; landscape ecology; environmental health
TL;DR:
This article presents the foundational concepts and guidance of causal chains linking disciplines and sectors that do not often intersect to elucidate the effects of actions on ecosystems and society, and discusses considerations for establishing and implementing causal chains.

Endotoxin enhances respiratory effects of phthalates in adults: Results from NHANES 2005-6
ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH, 162, 280–286.
author keywords: Allergy; Asthma; Wheeze; Dust endotoxin; Phthalates
MeSH headings : Adult; Asthma / chemically induced; Cross-Sectional Studies; Dust; Endotoxins / toxicity; Environmental Exposure; Humans; Nutrition Surveys; Phthalic Acids / toxicity; Respiratory Sounds / drug effects
TL;DR:
The lack of an association between wheeze or asthma and phthalate when endotoxin exposure was low suggests that phthalates alone may not increase these symptoms, whereas this cross‐sectional study cannot address key temporal issues.

Assessing the Influence of Tilapia on Sport Fish Species in North Carolina Reservoirs
TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY, 147(2), 350–362.
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.

Variation in range size and dispersal capabilities of microbial taxa
ECOLOGY, 99(2), 322–334.
Contributors: M. Choudoir *, A. Barberán *, H. Menninger n, R. Dunn n & N. Fierer *
author keywords: biogeography; dispersal; dust-associated microbes; geographic range size; microbial dispersal; microbiology
MeSH headings : Animals; Archaea; Bacteria / classification; Ecosystem; Plants
TL;DR:
Most microorganisms have small ranges and few have large ranges, a pattern similar to the range size distributions commonly observed for macrobes, which provides insight into the factors shaping patterns of microbial biogeography.

Sleep apnea and pesticide exposure in a study of US farmers
SLEEP HEALTH, 4(1), 20–26.
author keywords: Pesticides; Sleep apnea; Carbofuran; Carbamates; Sleep disorder breathing; Agriculture
MeSH headings : Carbofuran / adverse effects; Case-Control Studies; Farmers / statistics & numerical data; Humans; Male; Occupational Exposure / adverse effects; Pesticides / toxicity; Prospective Studies; Sleep Apnea Syndromes / chemically induced; Surveys and Questionnaires; United States / epidemiology
TL;DR:
The results in a male agricultural population suggests that exposure to carbofuran is positively associated with sleep apnea, a pesticide canceled in the United States in 2009 for most agricultural purposes but persists in the environment and remains in use in some other countries.

Patterns and drivers of fish extirpations in rivers of the American Southwest and Southeast
GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY, 24(3), 1175–1185.
author keywords: biodiversity loss; dams; flow regime; global change; imperiled species
MeSH headings : Animals; Biodiversity; Climate; Extinction, Biological; Fishes / classification; Fishes / physiology; Power Plants; Rivers; Southeastern United States; Southwestern United States
TL;DR:
Dams are an overriding driver of native fish species losses, irrespective of basin-wide differences in native or non-native species richness, and very high extirpation risks in the Southeast are due to interactions between high dam density and species restricted ranges.
