In Personalized, Evolutionary, and Ecological Dermatology (pp. 57–66).
Contributors: R. Dunn n
TL;DR:
The entire skin is covered in microscopic life, which has great importance for many aspects of dermatology, but little about this composition makes sense, except in light of evolution.

Lactobacilli Dominance and Vaginal pH: Why Is the Human Vaginal Microbiome Unique?
Frontiers in Microbiology, 7(DEC).
Contributors: E. Miller *, D. Beasley *, R. Dunn n & E. Archie *
author keywords: vaginal microbiome; lactobacilli; pH; estrogen; mammals; evolution
TL;DR:
High levels of starch in human diets have led to increased levels of glycogen in the vaginal tract, which, in turn, promotes the proliferation of lactobacilli, which may have paved the way for a novel, protective microbiome in human vaginal tracts.

Using evolutionary tools to search for novel psychoactive plants
Plant Genetic Resources, 14(4), 246–255.
Contributors: M. Halse-Gramkow*, M. Ernst *, N. Ronsted *, R. Dunn n & C. Saslis-Lagoudakis*
author keywords: bioprospecting; ethnobotany; medicinal plants; phylogeny; prediction
TL;DR:
This work compiled a database of 501 psychoactive plant species and their properties and mapped these plant attributes on a phylogenetic tree of all land plant genera and showed that psychoactive properties are not randomly distributed on the phylogeny of land plants; instead certain plant lineages show overabundance of psycho active properties.

Exoskeletons and economics: indoor arthropod diversity increases in affluent neighbourhoods
Biology Letters, 12(8), 20160322.
Contributors: M. Leong*, M. Bertone n , K. Bayless n, R. Dunn n & M. Trautwein*
author keywords: biodiversity; socioeconomics; income; urban ecosystem; indoor biome; landscape ecology

Urban warming reduces aboveground carbon storage
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 283(1840), 20161574.
Contributors: E. Meineke n, E. Youngsteadt n, R. Dunn n & S. Frank n
author keywords: climate change; urban ecology; carbon storage; urban heat island effect; ecosystem services; herbivory
MeSH headings : Animals; Carbon; Carbon Sequestration; Cities; Ecosystem; Herbivory; Insecta; Temperature; Trees / physiology
TL;DR:
The results suggest that urban trees will sequester even less carbon in the future and ecosystem service assessments that do not consider urban conditions may overestimate urban tree carbon storage.

Contributors: A. Savage *, J. Hills*, K. Driscoll, D. Fergus*, A. Grunden n & R. Dunn n
author keywords: Community Ecology; Extreme environments; Human Homes; Interactive effects; Microbialdiversity; Temperature; pH; Chemical
TL;DR:
High-throughput sequencing techniques are used to assess bacterial and archaeal diversity in the extreme environments inside human homes with extreme temperature, pH, and chemical environmental conditions, finding a lower diversity of microbes in these extreme home environments compared to less extreme habitats in the home.

Life Inside an Acorn: How Microclimate and Microbes Influence Nest Organization in Temnothorax Ants
ETHOLOGY, 122(10), 790–797.
author keywords: nest architecture; thermoregulation; microbes; pathogens; ants; Temnothorax
TL;DR:
The relatively strong response of T. curvispinosus to microbial growth inside their nests suggests that pathogen pressures—in addition to microclimate—have a significant impact on how colonies use nest spaces.

Stomatal acclimation to vapour pressure deficit doubles transpiration of small tree seedlings with warming
Plant, Cell & Environment, 39(10), 2221–2234.
Contributors: R. Marchin n, A. Broadhead n, L. Bostic n, R. Dunn n & W. Hoffmann n
author keywords: humidity; sap flux; stomata; stomatal conductance; temperature; warming experiment
MeSH headings : Acclimatization; Climate Change; Humidity; Plant Stomata / metabolism; Plant Stomata / physiology; Plant Transpiration; Seedlings / metabolism; Seedlings / physiology; Temperature; Trees / metabolism; Trees / physiology; Vapor Pressure
TL;DR:
Stomatal acclimation maintained homeostasis of leaf T and carbon gain despite increased VPD, revealing that short-term stomatal responses to VPD may not be representative of long-term exposure.

Reduced cellular immune response in social insect lineages
BIOLOGY LETTERS, 12(3).
Contributors: M. López-Uribe n, W. Sconiers n, S. Frank n , R. Dunn n & D. Tarpy n
author keywords: disease transmission; sociality; encapsulation; phylogenetic correction
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; Body Size; Immunity, Cellular; Insecta / immunology; Models, Biological; Phylogeny; Social Behavior; Temperature
