Mycangia of Ambrosia Beetles Host Communities of Bacteria
MICROBIAL ECOLOGY, 64(3), 784–793.
Contributors: J. Hulcr n, N. Rountree n, S. Diamond n, L. Stelinski *, N. Fierer * & R. Dunn n
MeSH headings : Ambrosia; Animals; Bacteria / classification; Bacteria / genetics; Bacteria / isolation & purification; Coleoptera / classification; Coleoptera / microbiology; Coleoptera / ultrastructure; DNA, Bacterial / analysis; DNA, Ribosomal; Ecosystem; Sequence Analysis, DNA; Species Specificity; Symbiosis
TL;DR:
It is concluded that ambrosia beetles are not obligately dependent on bacterial symbionts, and the mycangium hosts in multiple vertically transmitted bacteria such as Mycoplasma, most of which are likely facultative commensals or parasites.

Tradeoffs in the Evolution of Caste and Body Size in the Hyperdiverse Ant Genus Pheidole
PLOS ONE, 7(10).
Contributors: T. McGlynn*, S. Diamond n & R. Dunn n
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / genetics; Ants / physiology; Behavior, Animal; Biodiversity; Biological Evolution; Body Size / genetics; Ecology; Least-Squares Analysis; Phylogeny; Species Specificity
TL;DR:
It is concluded that production of soldiers in the most species-rich group of ants is regulated by a body size threshold mechanism, and that the great variation in body size and caste ratio in Pheidole plays a role in niche divergence in this rapidly evolving taxon.

A physiological trait-based approach to predicting the responses of species to experimental climate warming
ECOLOGY, 93(11), 2305–2312.
Contributors: S. Diamond n, L. Nichols n, N. McCoy n, C. Hirsch n, S. Pelini*, N. Sanders *, A. Ellison *, N. Gotelli *, R. Dunn n
author keywords: critical thermal maximum; Duke Forest; North Carolina; USA; ectotherm responses to global warming; Formicidae; global change; Harvard Forest; Massachusetts; USA; maximum entropy; physiology; species distribution model; temperate hardwood forests; eastern North America; thermal tolerance
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Physiological / genetics; Adaptation, Physiological / physiology; Animals; Ants / classification; Ants / genetics; Ants / physiology; Climate Change; Ecosystem; Hot Temperature; Models, Biological; Species Specificity; Trees
TL;DR:
In environments close to a species' physiological limits, physiological trait-based measurements can successfully forecast the responses of species to future conditions, and such models may not be accurate for predicting site-level responses.

A Jungle in There: Bacteria in Belly Buttons are Highly Diverse, but Predictable
PLoS ONE, 7(11), e47712.
Contributors: J. Hulcr n, A. Latimer*, J. Henley *, N. Rountree n, N. Fierer *, A. Lucky n, M. Lowman*, R. Dunn n
Ed(s): C. Moreau
MeSH headings : Archaea / genetics; Bacteria / genetics; Humans; Molecular Typing; Phylogeny; RNA, Archaeal / genetics; RNA, Bacterial / genetics; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S / genetics; Sequence Analysis, DNA; Umbilicus / microbiology
TL;DR:
The hypothesis that “oligarchs” dominate diverse assemblages appears to be supported by human-associated bacteria, as shown in the analysis of bacteria and arachaea from the belly buttons of humans sampled within a nation-wide citizen science project.

Common garden experiments reveal uncommon responses across temperatures, locations, and species of ants
ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 2(12), 3009–3015.
Contributors: S. Pelini*, S. Diamond n, H. MacLean *, A. Ellison *, N. Gotelli *, N. Sanders *, R. Dunn n
author keywords: Climate change; common garden; Formicidae; interspecies variation; intraspecies variation; warming experiment
TL;DR:
This work exposed colonies of two common ant species in the eastern United States to growth chamber treatments that simulated current and projected temperatures in central Massachusetts and central North Carolina within the next century, and suggested that populations of some common species may exhibit uniform declines in response to warming across their geographic ranges.

Disruption of ant-seed dispersal mutualisms by the invasive Asian needle ant (Pachycondyla chinensis)
BIOLOGICAL INVASIONS, 14(3), 557–565.
Contributors: M. Rodriguez-Cabal *, K. Stuble*, B. Guénard n, R. Dunn n & N. Sanders *
author keywords: Aphaenogaster rudis; Exotic species; Hexastylis arifolia; Myrmecochory; Seed-dispersal mutualisms
TL;DR:
The hypothesis that the invasive ant Pachycondyla chinensis disrupts ant-seed dispersal mutualisms by displacing native ant species, especially the keystone mutualist Aphaenogaster rudis, while failing to disperse seeds itself is tested.

Redispersal of seeds by a keystone ant augments the spread of common wildflowers
ACTA OECOLOGICA-INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ECOLOGY, 40, 31–39.
author keywords: Redispersal; Myrmecochory; Aphaenogaster rudis; Population spread rate; Plant benefits; Temperate forest
TL;DR:
A novel seed-tracking technique is used to quantify secondary dispersal of seeds from the nest into the surrounding leaf litter by the keystone seed-dispersing ant, Aphaenogaster rudis, and suggests myrmecochory benefits plants in eastern North American forests by increasing the distance between the seed and parent plant and reducing competition among siblings.

Global models of ant diversity suggest regions where new discoveries are most likely are under disproportionate deforestation threat
PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 109(19), 7368–7373.
Contributors: B. Gueńard n, M. Weiser n & R. Dunn n
author keywords: biogeography; Formicidae
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / classification; Ants / growth & development; Biodiversity; Conservation of Natural Resources / methods; Ecosystem; Environmental Monitoring / methods; Geography; Models, Biological
TL;DR:
A database representing about 13,000 records for ant generic distribution from over 350 regions that cover much of the globe is assembled, finding that the hotspots of discovery are also the regions in which biodiversity is the most threatened by habitat destruction.

Strong influence of regional species pools on continent-wide structuring of local communities
PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY B-BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES, 279(1727), 266–274.
Contributors: J. Lessard *, M. Borregaard *, J. Fordyce *, C. Rahbek *, M. Weiser n, R. Dunn n , N. Sanders *
author keywords: regional species pool; community assembly; phylogenetics; tropical niche conservatism; diversity gradients; Formicidae
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / physiology; Biodiversity; Climate; North America; Phylogeny; Population Dynamics; Temperature
TL;DR:
It is found that the average phylogenetic relatedness of species in ant communities decreases from tropical to temperate regions, but the strength of this relationship depends on the level of ecological realism in the definition of source pools.
