Is it easy to be urban? Convergent success in urban habitats among lineages of a widespread native ant
PLoS ONE, 5(2).
Contributors: S. Menke n, W. Booth n, R. Dunn n , C. Schal n, E. Vargo n & J. Silverman n
MeSH headings : Analysis of Variance; Animals; Ants / classification; Ants / enzymology; Ants / genetics; Cities; DNA, Mitochondrial / chemistry; DNA, Mitochondrial / genetics; Ecosystem; Electron Transport Complex IV / genetics; Evolution, Molecular; Geography; Haplotypes; Molecular Sequence Data; North America; Phylogeny; Sequence Analysis, DNA
TL;DR:
The results indicate that T. sessile has colonized urban habitats repeatedly and appears to do so using life history strategies already present in more natural populations, and polygynous colony structure is a highly plastic trait across habitat, clade, and haplotype.

Global Mapping of Ecosystem Disservices: The Unspoken Reality that Nature Sometimes Kills us
BIOTROPICA, 42(5), 555–557.
Contributors: R. Dunn n
author keywords: Biophilia; biophobia; ecosystem disservices; ecosystem services; global pathogen prevalence
TL;DR:
This work considers what the authors know about the spatial pattern of one disservice, pathogen prevalence and how changes in habitat influence it, and the effects of habitat changes on pathogenic prevalence and, consequently, ecosystem disservices.

Biodiversity on Broadway - Enigmatic Diversity of the Societies of Ants (Formicidae) on the Streets of New York City
PLOS ONE, 5(10).
Contributors: M. Pećarević*, J. Danoff-Burg* & R. Dunn n
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / physiology; Biodiversity; New York City
TL;DR:
Ant species richness varied among streets and increased with area but was independent of the other median attributes measured, and Tetramorium caespitum was most abundant in small medians, with the greatest edge/area ratio, particularly if those medians had few trees, whereas Nylanderia flavipes was most scarce in the largest medians.

BIOLOGY LETTERS, 6(6), 769–772.
Contributors: M. Weiser n, N. Sanders *, D. Agosti, A. Andersen *, A. Ellison *, B. Fisher *, H. Gibb *, N. Gotelli *
author keywords: Formicidae; species richness; global diversity gradients
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / physiology; Ecosystem; Linear Models; Models, Biological; Population Density; Species Specificity; Trees; Tropical Climate; Weather
TL;DR:
It appears that canopy and litter ant assemblages share a common abundance–diversity relationship influenced by similar but not identical climatic drivers.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY B-BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES, 277(1694), 2587–2595.
Contributors: R. Dunn n , T. Davies *, N. Harris n & M. Gavin *
author keywords: disease; diversity gradients; global climate; human health
MeSH headings : Animals; Biodiversity; Birds / microbiology; Birds / parasitology; Birds / virology; Climate; Communicable Disease Control / economics; Communicable Diseases / epidemiology; Communicable Diseases / transmission; Humans; Mammals / microbiology; Mammals / parasitology; Mammals / virology; Prevalence
TL;DR:
A global analysis of the relative influence of climate, alternative host diversity and spending on disease prevention on modern patterns in the richness and prevalence of human pathogens finds that for human health, the prevalence of key human pathogens is strongly influenced by disease control efforts.
