Colony-Level Effects of Amygdalin on Honeybees and Their Microbes
Insects, 11(11), 783.
TL;DR:
The results suggest that amygdalin consumption may reduce several honeybee viruses without affecting other microbes or colony-level expression of immune genes, as observed by highly inconstant patterns between treatment and control and throughout the season.

Ground-Dwelling Invertebrate Abundance Positively Related to Volume of Logging Residues in the Southern Appalachians, USA
FORESTS, 11(11).
author keywords: ants; arachnids; bioenergy; downed wood; invertebrates; insects; logging residue; woody biomass
TL;DR:
Woody debris in harvested sites is important for the conservation of a majority of the taxa studied, which is likely because of the unique microclimate offered near/under woody debris.

Differences in larval pesticide tolerance and esterase activity across honey bee (Apis mellifera) stocks
ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY, 206.
author keywords: Developmental exposure; Pesticide tolerance; Honey bee; Breeding; Esterases
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Physiological / drug effects; Animals; Bees / drug effects; Bees / enzymology; Environmental Monitoring / methods; Esterases / metabolism; Larva / drug effects; Larva / enzymology; North America; Pesticides / toxicity; Pollination
TL;DR:
It is suggested that selective breeding may inadvertently increase honey bees' sensitivity to pesticides, whereas unselected, putatively feral and Old World stocks have larvae that are more tolerant.

Bacterial communities in the natural and supplemental nests of an endangered ecosystem engineer
ECOSPHERE, 11(9).
TL;DR:
It is suggested that, although there is some microbial interaction between nests and nest inhabitants, there are no detectable differences in the types of bacteria to which Key Largo woodrats are exposed in supplemental and natural nest structures.

Coronavirus pandemic highlights critical gaps in rural Internet access for migrant and seasonal farmworkers: a call for partnership with medical libraries
Lee, J. G. L., LePrevost, C. E., Harwell, E. L., Bloss, J. E., Cofie, L. E., Wiggins, M. F., & Firnhaber, G. C. (2020, October). JOURNAL OF THE MEDICAL LIBRARY ASSOCIATION, Vol. 108, pp. 651–655.
MeSH headings : Betacoronavirus; COVID-19; Community-Institutional Relations; Coronavirus Infections / epidemiology; Farmers; Humans; Internet Access; Libraries, Medical; North Carolina; Pandemics; Pneumonia, Viral / epidemiology; Rural Population; SARS-CoV-2; Transients and Migrants
TL;DR:
This commentary argues that Internet access represents an underappreciated but critical part of the public health response and demands the attention of medical libraries, public health practitioners, and policy makers to address the digital divide for farmworkers and their families.

Transcriptomic and Epigenomic Dynamics of Honey Bees in Response to Lethal Viral Infection
FRONTIERS IN GENETICS, 11.
author keywords: alternative splicing; transcriptome; DNA methylation; immune genes; pupa; IAPV; gene expression; comparative genomics
TL;DR:
The results suggest that dynamic DNA methylation responds to viral infections quickly, regulating subsequent gene activities and provides new insights of molecular mechanisms involved in epigenetic that can serve as foundation for the long-term goal to develop anti-viral strategies for honey bees, the most important commercial pollinator.

Foundation Species Abundance Influences Food Web Topology on Glass Sponge Reefs
FRONTIERS IN MARINE SCIENCE, 7.
TL;DR:
The influence of foundation species on food web topology may be dependent on palatability, and therefore relative trophic importance, of the foundation species, and these results are not consistent with previous reports that increasing foundation species abundance decreases connectance in food webs.

Enhanced biodiversity of gut flora and feed efficiency in pond cultured tilapia under reduced frequency feeding strategies
PLOS ONE, 15(7).
MeSH headings : Animal Feed; Animals; Aquaculture; Biodiversity; Gastrointestinal Microbiome; Gene Expression Regulation; Membrane Transport Proteins / genetics; Nutrients / metabolism; Tilapia / genetics; Tilapia / growth & development; Tilapia / microbiology
TL;DR:
These studies indicate feeding Nile tilapia on alternate days along with weekly pond fertilization has no deleterious effects on growth, survivability, or production versus daily feeding regimes, but enhances feed efficiency by 76% and provides the greatest net return on investments.

Dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) from Puerto Rico: a checklist with notes on distribution and habitat
PEERJ, 8.
author keywords: Species inventory; West Indies; Insect diversity; Caribbean
TL;DR:
Current and historic records suggest that the Odonata fauna is dominated by generalist species and has changed little since the agricultural period, and this list provides a point of reference to understand biodiversity patterns in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean and for assessing the effects of land use change on aquatic insect diversity.
