2020 journal article
The Coupled Influence of Thermal Physiology and Biotic Interactions on the Distribution and Density of Ant Species along an Elevational Gradient
DIVERSITY-BASEL, 12(12).
author keywords: ants; community structure; physiology; interactions; temperature
TL;DR:
The results provide a strong test that biotic interactions drive the distributions and density of species in warm climates, but that environmental filtering predominates at colder, high-elevation sites, and suggest that the responses of species to climate change are likely to be context-dependent and more specifically, geographically-dependent.

2020 journal article
Bacterial exposure leads to variable mortality but not a measurable increase in surface antimicrobials across ant species
PEERJ, 8.
author keywords: Entomopathogen; Metapleural gland; Social immunity; Bacterial exposure; Social insects; Sociobiology; Antimicrobial
TL;DR:
The results demonstrate the susceptibility to bacteria is varied across ant species, and variation may correlate with an ant species’ use of surface antimicrobials, as significant mortality effects in species which also were producing antimicrobial compounds are found.

Sensory pollutants alter bird phenology and fitness across a continent
NATURE, 587(7835), 605-+.
MeSH headings : Animals; Birds / classification; Birds / physiology; Citizen Science; Clutch Size / radiation effects; Confined Spaces; Datasets as Topic; Diet / veterinary; Ecosystem; Female; Geographic Mapping; Lighting / adverse effects; Male; Nesting Behavior / physiology; Nesting Behavior / radiation effects; Noise / adverse effects; Ocular Physiological Phenomena / radiation effects; Reproduction / physiology; Reproduction / radiation effects; Species Specificity; United States; Vocalization, Animal / radiation effects
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that anthropogenic noise and light can substantially affect breeding bird phenology and fitness, and the need to consider sensory pollutants alongside traditional dimensions of the environment that typically inform biodiversity conservation is underscored.

Still in Need of Norms: The State of the Data in Citizen Science
Citizen Science: Theory and Practice, 5(1).
TL;DR:
An assessment of current data practices in the citizen science, community science, and crowdsourcing communities suggests that citizen science projects are doing well in terms of data quality assessment and governance, but are sometimes lacking in providing open access to data outputs, documenting data, ensuring interoperability through data standards, or building robust and sustainable infrastructure.

Antimicrobial resistance and virulence factors profile of Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli isolated from different environments exposed to anthropogenic activity
JOURNAL OF GLOBAL ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE, 22, 578–583.
author keywords: Anthropogenic areas; Whole-genome sequencing; FosA7 gene; pHN7A8 (F33:A-:B-plasmid)
TL;DR:
The presence of these determinants in different anthropogenic areas suggests the need to conduct longitudinal studies for comparing the profile of pathogens across different environments and the detection of AMR determinants and virulence factors in these bacteria is significant in understanding the occurrence and even the development ofAMR.

Global forensic geolocation with deep neural networks
JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL STATISTICAL SOCIETY SERIES C-APPLIED STATISTICS, 69(4), 909–929.
author keywords: Citizen science; Machine learning; Microbiome; Non-homogeneous Poisson process; Spatial point pattern
TL;DR:
The DeepSpace algorithm makes remarkably good point predictions; for example, when applied to the microbiomes of over 1300 dust samples collected across continental USA, more than half of geolocated predictions produced by this model fall less than 100 km from their true origin, which is a 60% reduction in error from competing geolocation methods.
