A Bayesian Dirichlet process community occupancy model to estimate community structure and species similarity
Ecological Applications.
Contributors: R. Sollmann *, M. Eaton n , W. Link *, P. Mulondo*, S. Ayebare *, S. Prinsloo *, A. Plumptre *, D. Johnson *
author keywords: bird point‐ counts; clustering; community occupancy model; dimensionality; Dirichlet process; infinite‐ mixture models; latent groups
MeSH headings : Algorithms; Bayes Theorem; Computer Simulation; Ecosystem
TL;DR:
This work develops a community occupancy model (COM) using a DP distribution to model species-level parameters and recommends using the DP-COM only when the analysis focuses on community structure and species similarity, as these quantities can only be obtained under theDP-COM.

Measuring the additive effects of predation on prey survival across spatial scales
Ecological Applications, 30(8).
author keywords: capture-recapture-recovery; compensatory mortality; hierarchical Bayesian model; population dynamics; predator-prey dynamics; state-space models
MeSH headings : Animals; Birds; Charadriiformes; Oncorhynchus mykiss; Predatory Behavior; Rivers
TL;DR:
Analyzing a long-term mark-recapture-recovery dataset of ESA-listed steelhead trout provides novel evidence that predation by Caspian terns may have been a super additive source of mortality during the smolt life-stage and a partially additive sources of mortality to the adult life- stage.

Ed(s): H. Alice
author keywords: Canada lynx; core area; detection probability; dynamic occupancy; range dynamics; site occupancy; turnover
TL;DR:
A large‐scale monitoring protocol and dynamic occupancy modelling framework is developed to identify multi‐year core‐use areas and track spatiotemporal occurrence at the southern periphery of the Canada lynx species range.

Addressing multiple sources of uncertainty in the estimation of global parrot abundance from roost counts: A case study with the Vinaceous-breasted Parrot (Amazona vinacea)
Biological Conservation, 248, 108672.
author keywords: Endangered species; Imperfect detection; N-mixture model; Psittacidae; Roost count; Vinaceous-breasted parrot
TL;DR:
Assessments of abundance and geographic range are larger than those currently reported by the IUCN, and it is suggested the Vinaceous-breasted Parrot should remain in the ‘Endangered’ I UCN threat category pending further investigation of population trends.

Increasing browse and social complexity can improve zoo elephant welfare
ZOO BIOLOGY.
author keywords: behavior; diet; ex situ; Loxodonta africana; management; social
MeSH headings : Animal Feed / analysis; Animal Husbandry / methods; Animal Welfare; Animals; Animals, Zoo / physiology; Appetitive Behavior; Behavior, Animal; Diet / veterinary; Elephants / physiology; Female; Male; Social Behavior
TL;DR:
It is found that increasing browse can improve opportunities for foraging throughout the day but may not be sufficient to reduce repetitive behaviors, and increasing group size and integration of bulls with cows can lead to increased social interaction in African elephants.

Community-led governance for gene-edited crops A post-market certification process could promote transparency and trust
Kuzma, J., & Grieger, K. (2020, November 20). SCIENCE, Vol. 370, pp. 916–918.
MeSH headings : Certification / legislation & jurisprudence; Crops, Agricultural / genetics; Gene Editing; Plants, Genetically Modified; Stakeholder Participation; United States; United States Department of Agriculture
TL;DR:
A “community-led and responsible governance” (CLEAR-GOV) coalition and certification process for biotech crop developers based on transparent information sharing about current and anticipated market uses of biotech crop varieties is proposed.

Within-Colony Transmission of Microsporidian and Trypanosomatid Parasites in Honey Bee and Bumble Bee Colonies
Environmental Entomology, 49(6), 1393–1401.
Ed(s): S. Perlman
author keywords: Nosema ceranae; Crithidia bombi; Apis mellifera; Bombus impatiens; disease
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees; Nosema; Parasites
TL;DR:
Bumble bees and honey bees infected with the gut parasites Crithidia bombi and Nosema ceranae were used to understand how the initial proportion of infected individuals impacts within-colony spread and intensity of infection of the parasites.

Influence of brood pheromone on honey bee colony establishment and queen replacement
JOURNAL OF APICULTURAL RESEARCH, 60(2), 220–228.
author keywords: Apis mellifera; queen replacement; colony establishment; collective decision making
TL;DR:
It is suggested that while BEP alone is insufficient to deter premature supersedure, there are clear benefits to queen longevity and package-installation success when establishing new colonies with frames of young brood.

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.

Bumble bees are constant to nectar-robbing behaviour despite low switching costs
ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR, 170, 177–188.
author keywords: behavioural constancy; Bombus; costs; food handling; foraging; intra-individual variation (IIV); mutualism; nectar robbing; planteanimal interaction; pollination
TL;DR:
It is found that bees freely foraging in meadows were highly constant to a single food-handling tactic both within and across bouts, and experiments with individual captive bees showed that these bees were willing to switch tactics and experienced minimal costs in doing so.

A New Two-lined Salamander (Eurycea bislineata Complex) from the Sandhills of North Carolina
HERPETOLOGICA, 76(4), 423–444.
author keywords: Cryptic species; Eurycea cirrigera; Eurycea wilderae; Molecular phylogeny; Taxonomy
TL;DR:
The hypothesis that the Sandhills taxon represents only a local ecomorph is rejected and it is described as a new species, bringing the number of endemic salamander species in North Carolina to seven.

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.

TL;DR:
This first study to document and characterize virus-associated changes in the transcriptome of honey bee eggs represents an important contribution to understanding trans-generational virus effects, although more in-depth studies are needed to understand the detailed mechanisms of how viruses affect honey bee embryos.
