TL;DR:
A novel mechanism by which parents, through incorporation of aromatic herbs into nests, effectively modify their incubation behaviour to the benefit of their offspring is experimentally shown.

Variation in photosynthesis and stomatal conductance among red maple (Acer rubrum) urban planted cultivars and wildtype trees in the southeastern United States
PLOS ONE, 13(5).
MeSH headings : Acer / physiology; Agriculture; Cities; Environment; Photosynthesis; Plant Stomata / physiology; Seasons; Southeastern United States; Trees / physiology
TL;DR:
The results suggest that wildtype trees should be considered for some urban locations, and the study is valuable in demonstrating how site type and tree type can inform tree planting strategies and improve long-term urban forest sustainability.

Contributors: H. Gibb *, N. Sanders *, R. Dunn n , X. Arnan *, H. Vasconcelos *, D. Donoso *, A. Andersen *, R. Silva *
TL;DR:
The results indicate that temperature, precipitation and disturbance have differing effects on the body size distributions of local communities, with no evidence of synergistic interactions.

2018 review
Getting ahead of the curve: cities as surrogates for global change
author keywords: city; global change; multi-trophic interactions; urban; warming
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Biological; Animals; Arthropods / physiology; Cities; Climate Change; Plant Physiological Phenomena; Urbanization
TL;DR:
Insights gained from cities are reviewed, with a focus on plants and arthropods, and how urban findings agree or disagree with experimental predictions and historical data, to achieve the goal of using urban species responses to predict broader regional- and ecosystem-level patterns in the future.

The phylogenetic and functional diversity of regional breeding bird assemblages is reduced and constricted through urbanization
DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTIONS, 24(7), 928–938.
author keywords: breeding bird assemblages; evolutionary distinctiveness; functional diversity; phylogenetic diversity; traits; urbanization
TL;DR:
The effects of urbanization on phylogenetic and functional diversity of natural communities through a variety of processes including habitat loss and the introduction of non‐native species are studied primarily using “space‐for‐time” substitution.

The ecosystem services of animal microbiomes
MOLECULAR ECOLOGY, 27(8), 2164–2172.
Contributors: E. McKenney n, K. Koelle *, R. Dunn n & A. Yoder *
author keywords: ecosystem services; host-microbiome; microbial ecology; microbiome
MeSH headings : Biological Evolution; Ecology; Ecosystem; Host Microbial Interactions / genetics; Microbiota / genetics
TL;DR:
It is argued that ecosystem services are a useful framework with which to consider the value of microbes to their hosts, providing a context from which to develop new hypotheses and to evaluate microbial functions in future studies and novel systems.

2018 review
Biodiversity and socioeconomics in the city: a review of the luxury effect
[Review of ]. BIOLOGY LETTERS, 14(5).
Contributors: M. Leong*, R. Dunn n & M. Trautwein*
author keywords: luxury effect; biodiversity; socioeconomics; urban ecology
MeSH headings : Animals; Biodiversity; Cities; Ecosystem; Humans; Plants; Socioeconomic Factors
TL;DR:
The ecological dynamics of cities are influenced not only by geophysical and biological factors, but also by aspects of human society, and a pattern of higher biodiversity in affluent neighbourhoods has been termed ‘the luxury effect'.

The ecology of insect–yeast relationships and its relevance to human industry
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 285(1875), 20172733.
Contributors: A. Madden n, M. Epps*, T. Fukami *, R. Irwin n, J. Sheppard n, D. Sorger n, R. Dunn n
author keywords: diffuse mutualism; dispersal; Ascomycota
MeSH headings : Animals; Ascomycota / physiology; Biological Evolution; Ecosystem; Food Industry; Humans; Insecta / microbiology; Plant Nectar / metabolism; Symbiosis
TL;DR:
This work proposes a ‘dispersal–encounter hypothesis' whereby yeasts are dispersed by insects between ephemeral, spatially disparate sugar resources, and insects, in turn, obtain the benefits of an honest signal from yeasts for the sugar resources.

Homogenizing an urban habitat mosaic: arthropod diversity declines in New York City parks after Super Storm Sandy
ECOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS, 28(1), 225–236.
Contributors: A. Savage *, E. Youngsteadt n, A. Ernst*, S. Powers*, R. Dunn n & S. Frank n
author keywords: biotic homogenization; disturbance adapted; diversity; extreme weather; hurricane; New York City; Super Storm Sandy; tipping point; urban ecology
MeSH headings : Animals; Arthropods; Biodiversity; Cyclonic Storms; New York City; Parks, Recreational; Stress, Physiological; Urbanization
TL;DR:
The results suggest that the species that survive in high stress environments are likely to be the ones that thrive in response to acute disturbance, which may lead to diversity loss in cities, potentially leading entire urban landscapes to mirror the reduced diversity of street medians.

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.

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.
