Urban Warming Drives Insect Pest Abundance on Street Trees
PLoS ONE, 8(3).
Contributors: E. Meineke n, R. Dunn n , J. Sexton * & S. Frank n
MeSH headings : Analysis of Variance; Animals; Cities; Hemiptera / growth & development; North Carolina; Parasites / growth & development; Quercus / parasitology; Temperature; Trees / parasitology

Every species is an insect (or nearly so): On insects, climate change, extinction, and the biological unknown
In Saving a Million Species: Extinction Risk from Climate Change (pp. 217–237).
Contributors: R. Dunn n & M. Fitzpatrick*
TL;DR:
Any estimate of the number of species on Earth at risk from climate change must begin with the question of how many species can be found on Earth, and because most species are insects, how many insect species in particular.

Species loss on spatial patterns and composition of zoonotic parasites
author keywords: carnivore; distribution; human health; hotspots; species richness; virus
MeSH headings : Animals; Carnivora / microbiology; Carnivora / parasitology; Carnivora / virology; Computer Simulation; Demography; Extinction, Biological; Geography; Host-Pathogen Interactions / physiology; Humans; Models, Biological; North America; Species Specificity; Zoonoses
TL;DR:
This simulation of host extinctions for 29 North American carnivores found that changes in parasite assemblages differed among parasite groups, and the proportion of parasites that are viruses increased as more carnivores went extinct.

How many and which ant species are being accidentally moved around the world? (Retracted article. See vol. 10, 20140504, 2014)
Miravete, V., Roura-Pascual, N., Dunn, R. R., & Gomez, C. (2013, October 23). BIOLOGY LETTERS, Vol. 9.
Contributors: V. Miravete*, N. Roura-Pascual, R. Dunn n & C. Gómez*
author keywords: biological invasions; exotic species; formicidae; richness estimator
MeSH headings : Animal Migration; Animals; Ants / physiology; Commerce
TL;DR:
The results suggest that the numbers of introduced or established ants may be much larger than the numbers so far documented, and if exotic species tend to match climates and if arrival/establishment is dependent upon higher trade rates from neighbouring countries.

Using Physiology to Predict the Responses of Ants to Climatic Warming
INTEGRATIVE AND COMPARATIVE BIOLOGY, 53(6), 965–974.
Contributors: S. Diamond n, C. Penick n, S. Pelini n, A. Ellison n, N. Gotelli n, N. Sanders n, R. Dunn n
MeSH headings : Acclimatization / physiology; Animals; Ants / physiology; Appetitive Behavior / physiology; Ecosystem; Genetic Fitness / physiology; Global Warming; Life Tables; Massachusetts; Models, Biological; North Carolina; Population Dynamics; Species Specificity; Survival Analysis; Temperature; Trees
TL;DR:
It is suggested that while physiological tolerance of temperature can be a useful predictive tool for modeling responses to climatic change, future efforts should be devoted to understanding the causes and consequences of variability in models of tolerance calibrated with different metrics of performance and fitness.

Tracing the Rise of Ants - Out of the Ground
PLOS ONE, 8(12).
Contributors: A. Lucky n, M. Trautwein n, B. Guenard n, M. Weiser n & R. Dunn n
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants; Ecosystem; Evolution, Molecular; Hot Temperature; Phylogeny; Plant Leaves; Soil; Statistics as Topic
TL;DR:
This work reconstructs the habitat transitions of crown-group ants through time, focusing on where they nest and forage (in the canopy, litter, or soil), and shows that in contrast to the current consensus based on verbal arguments that ants evolved in tropical leaf litter, the soil is supported as the ancestral stratum of all ants.

Toward a Mechanistic Understanding of Linguistic Diversity
BIOSCIENCE, 63(7), 524–535.
Contributors: M. Gavin, C. Botero n, C. Bowern *, R. Colwell *, M. Dunn *, R. Dunn n , R. Gray *, K. Kirby *
author keywords: linguistic diversity; biogeography and ecology; geographic patterns; research methods; languages
TL;DR:
It is suggested that future analyses should account for interactions among causal factors, the lack of spatial and phylogenetic independence of the data, and transitory patterns, and future modeling approaches should also evaluate how the outcomes of these processes are influenced by demography, environmental heterogeneity, and time.

MeSH headings : Bacteria / classification; Bacteria / genetics; Bacteria / isolation & purification; Biodiversity; Genes, Bacterial; High-Throughput Nucleotide Sequencing; North Carolina; Polymerase Chain Reaction; RNA, Transfer / genetics; Residence Characteristics
TL;DR:
The presence of dogs had a significant effect on bacterial community composition in multiple locations within homes as the homes occupied by dogs harbored more diverse communities and higher relative abundances of dog-associated bacterial taxa.

TL;DR:
Ant species appear to temporally partition foraging times such that behaviourally dominant species foraged more intensely at night, while foraging by subdominant species peaked during the day, with one notable exception.
