Averting biodiversity collapse in tropical forest protected areas
Nature, 489(7415), 290–293.
Contributors: W. Laurance, D. Carolina Useche, J. Rendeiro, M. Kalka, C. Bradshaw, S. Sloan, S. Laurance, M. Campbell
MeSH headings : Agriculture / statistics & numerical data; Animals; Biodiversity; Conservation of Natural Resources / statistics & numerical data; Data Collection; Ecology / statistics & numerical data; Endangered Species / statistics & numerical data; Environmental Pollution / adverse effects; Environmental Pollution / statistics & numerical data; Fires / statistics & numerical data; Forestry / statistics & numerical data; Interviews as Topic; Mining / statistics & numerical data; Population Growth; Rain; Reproducibility of Results; Research Personnel; Surveys and Questionnaires; Temperature; Trees / physiology; Tropical Climate
TL;DR:
These findings suggest that tropical protected areas are often intimately linked ecologically to their surrounding habitats, and that a failure to stem broad-scale loss and degradation of such habitats could sharply increase the likelihood of serious biodiversity declines.

A resurrection study reveals rapid adaptive evolution within populations of an invasive plant
author keywords: contemporary evolution; introduced species; invasion dynamics; invasive plants; phenotypic plasticity; Polygonum cespitosum; rapid evolution; resurrection experiment
TL;DR:
This study document the evolution of increased reproductive output as well as greater physiological and root‐allocational plasticity in response to the more open, sunny conditions found in the North American range in which the species has become invasive.

Disease dynamics in wild populations: modeling and estimation: a review
Journal of Ornithology, 152(S2), 485–509.
author keywords: Detection probability; Disease models; Mark-recapture; Multi-state models; Parameterization; Time series; Uncertain state
TL;DR:
The need to account for detectability in modeling disease dynamics is demonstrated, and a number of mark–recapture and occupancy study designs for estimating disease parameters while simultaneously accounting for variation in detectability are explored.

Nectar alkaloids decrease pollination and female reproduction in a native plant
Oecologia, 168(4), 1033–1041.
author keywords: Floral evolution; Gelsemine; Nectar robbing; Pollination; Toxic nectar
MeSH headings : Alkaloids / analysis; Alkaloids / pharmacology; Analysis of Variance; Animals; Behavior, Animal / drug effects; Biological Evolution; Gelsemium / chemistry; Georgia; Insecta / drug effects; Plant Nectar / chemistry; Pollination / drug effects; Reproduction / drug effects; Sex Factors
TL;DR:
This work suggests that nectar alkaloids are more costly than beneficial in the authors' system, and that relatively small-scale spatial variation in trait effects and interactions could determine the selective impacts of traits such as nectar composition.

Exploring similarities among many species distributions
Proceedings of the 1st Conference of the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment on Bridging from the eXtreme to the campus and beyond - XSEDE '12. Presented at the the 1st Conference of the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment.
Event: the 1st Conference of the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment
TL;DR:
A system is built that can, for the first time to the knowledge, leverage HPC to support effective exploration of species similarities in distribution as well as their dependencies on common environmental conditions.

Site fidelity and movement patterns of invasive lionfish, Pterois spp., in a Florida estuary
Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 414-415, 69–74.
author keywords: Fish; Growth; Home range; Invasive species; Movement; Tagging
TL;DR:
In systems where lionfish exhibit extremely high site fidelity and small maximum ranges, localized population control may be feasible, since lionfish removed from a given habitat would be replaced largely through larval recruitment rather than migration of older individuals, but may be less effective if lion fish exhibit greater movement and lower site fidelity in other invaded systems.

Who likes it hot? A global analysis of the climatic, ecological, and evolutionary determinants of warming tolerance in ants
Global Change Biology, 18(2), 448–456.
Contributors: S. Diamond n, D. Sorger n, J. Hulcr n, S. Pelini*, I. Toro *, C. Hirsch n, E. Oberg*, R. Dunn n
author keywords: biodiversity; Formicidae; global warming; insect; physiology; temperature
TL;DR:
It is found that ants that live in the canopies of hot, tropical forest are the most at risk, globally, from climate warming, where many, perhaps most, ant and other species on Earth live.
