2017 journal article
Heat tolerance predicts the importance of species interaction effects as the climate changes
INTEGRATIVE AND COMPARATIVE BIOLOGY, 57(1), 112–120.
Contributors: S. Diamond *, L. Chick *, C. Penick n, L. Nichols n, S. Cahan *, R. Dunn n , A. Ellison*, N. Sanders *, N. Gotelli *
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / physiology; Climate Change; Ecosystem; Forests; Hot Temperature; North America; Species Specificity; Thermotolerance / physiology
TL;DR:
Overall, mixed support is found for the importance of negative species interactions (competition), but it is found that the magnitude of these interaction effects was predictable based on the heat tolerance of the focal species.

Experimental winter warming modifies thermal performance and primes acorn ants for warm weather
Journal of Insect Physiology, 100, 77–81.
Contributors: H. MacLean *, C. Penick n, R. Dunn n & S. Diamond *
author keywords: Climate change; Experimental climate warming; Running speed; Ants; Phenotypic plasticity
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / physiology; Climate Change; Hot Temperature; Motor Activity; Random Allocation; Seasons; Weather
TL;DR:
Evidence that overwintering temperatures can substantially influence organismal performance is provided, and it is suggested that organismal responses to environmental changes in temperature cannot be ignored when forecasting organismal behaviours.

TL;DR:
Comprehensive species abundance data of more than 2,693 species and 7,953 morphospecies from local assemblages collected at 4,212 locations around the world is presented to test relationships between assemblage structure and environmental and biogeographic factors.

2017 journal article
Higher immunocompetence is associated with higher genetic diversity in feral honey bee colonies (Apis mellifera)
CONSERVATION GENETICS, 18(3), 659–666.
Contributors: M. López-Uribe n, R. Appler n, E. Youngsteadt n, R. Dunn n , S. Frank n & D. Tarpy n
author keywords: Microsatellites; Antimicrobial peptides; Defensin; Hymenoptaecin; Management
TL;DR:
It is hypothesized that high genetic variability provides the raw material upon which natural selection acts and generates adaptive genotypes in unmanaged populations and that feral populations could be useful sources of genetic variation to use in breeding programs that aim to improve honey bee health.

Beyond thermal limits: comprehensive metrics of performance identify key axes of thermal adaptation in ants
FUNCTIONAL ECOLOGY, 31(5), 1091–1100.
Contributors: C. Penick n, S. Diamond *, N. Sanders * & R. Dunn n
author keywords: climate change; critical thermal limits; development; phenology; social insects; thermal adaptation
TL;DR:
The relationships between CTmax, thermal requirements of brood, and seasonal activity suggest two main strategies for growth and development in changing thermal environments: one where ants forage at higher temperatures over a short activity season, and another where antsForage at lower temperatures for an extended activity season.

Contributors: R. Dunn n , C. Nunn * & J. Horvath *
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; Ecosystem; Genomics; Humans; Symbiosis
TL;DR:
It is proposed that the time is now here for The Global Synanthrome Project to describe all of the authors' interacting species and how they have changed through time and across space.

Molecular analysis of environmental plant DNA in house dust across the United States
AEROBIOLOGIA, 33(1), 71–86.
Contributors: J. Craine*, A. Barberán *, R. Lynch *, H. Menninger n, R. Dunn n & N. Fierer *
author keywords: Environmental DNA; Plant allergens; Geography; Next-generation sequencing
TL;DR:
The utility of using environmental DNA sequencing to reconstruct the distributions of plant DNA inside and outside buildings is demonstrated, an approach that could prove useful for better understanding and predicting plant allergen exposures.

GlobalAnts: a new database on the geography of ant traits (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
INSECT CONSERVATION AND DIVERSITY, 10(1), 5–20.
Contributors: C. Parr *, R. Dunn n , N. Sanders *, M. Weiser *, M. Photakis*, T. Bishop *, M. Fitzpatrick *, X. Arnan *
author keywords: Assemblages; ecology; functional trait; morphology; online database
TL;DR:
The GlobalAnts database represents a significant tool for ecology in that it contributes to a global archive of ant traits (morphology, ecology and life history) which complements existing ant databases and promotes a trait‐based approach in ant and other insect ecology through a broad set of standardised traits.

Responses of arthropod populations to warming depend on latitude: evidence from urban heat islands
GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY, 23(4), 1436–1447.
Contributors: E. Youngsteadt n, A. Ernst n, R. Dunn n & S. Frank n
author keywords: arthropods; climate change; ectotherms; global warming; latitude; thermal tolerance; urban heat island; urbanization
MeSH headings : Animals; Arthropods; Cities; Climate Change; Hot Temperature; Islands; New York City; Population Dynamics; Temperature
TL;DR:
Patterns of family responses to warming were consistent with predictions based on known latitudinal patterns in arthropod physiology relative to regional climate, and heterogeneous responses in midlatitudes may be ecologically disruptive if interacting taxa respond oppositely to warming.
