The Internal, External and Extended Microbiomes of Hominins

FRONTIERS IN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 8.

By: R. Dunn n , K. Amato*, E. Archie *, M. Arandjelovic *, A. Crittenden * & L. Nichols n 

author keywords: fermentation; primates; prosocial microbes; feces; food; armpits; alcohol
TL;DR: The potential influence of microbiomes in hominin evolution is highlighted while also offering a series of hypotheses and questions with regard to evolution of human stomach acidity, the factors structuring gut microbiomes, the functional consequences of changes in armpit ecology, and whether Homo erectus was engaged in fermentation.

Anthropogenic noise affects winter song structure of a long-distance migrant, Gambel’s white-crowned sparrow

Journal of Urban Ecology, 6(1).

By: J. Phillips * & M. Katti n 

TL;DR: This study investigates urban noise effects on song structure in a long-distance migrant, Zonotrichia leucophrys gambelii, on the wintering grounds in the Fresno Clovis Metropolitan Area and in outlying non-urban areas and found that the buzz and trill decrease in bandwidth in the presence of noise.
