Characterization of 8 polymorphic microsatellite loci in the neotropical ant-garden ant, Camponotus femoratus (Fabricius)
CONSERVATION GENETICS, 10(5), 1401–1403.
author keywords: Camponotus; Formicidae; Di-nucleotide microsatellite; Tri-nucleotide microsatellite; Tetra-nucleotide microsatellite

Ants Sow the Seeds of Global Diversification in Flowering Plants
PLOS ONE, 4(5).
Contributors: S. Lengyel n, A. Gove*, A. Latimer*, J. Majer * & R. Dunn n
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / physiology; Biodiversity; Ecosystem; Magnoliopsida / classification; Magnoliopsida / growth & development; Phylogeny; Seeds / growth & development
TL;DR:
Myrmecochory provides the best example to date for a consistent effect of any mutualism on large-scale diversification in angiosperm plants, and diversification rates were substantially higher in ant-dispersed plants than in their non-myRMecochorous relatives.

2009 journal article
"Entombed Pollen": A new condition in honey bee colonies associated with increased risk of colony mortality
JOURNAL OF INVERTEBRATE PATHOLOGY, 101(2), 147–149.
author keywords: Apis mellifera; Colony collapse disorder; Bee bread; Honey bee; Pesticide residues; Physical encapsulation; Entombed pollen
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees / growth & development; Bees / physiology; Honey; Larva / growth & development; Larva / physiology; Mortality; Pesticide Residues / analysis; Pollen; Risk Factors
TL;DR:
There appears to be a lack of microbial agents in the pollen, and larvae and adult bees do not have an increased rate of mortality when they are fed diets supplemented with entombed pollen in vitro, suggesting that the pollen itself is not directly responsible for increased colony mortality.

2009 review
The sixth mass coextinction: are most endangered species parasites and mutualists?
[Review of ]. PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY B-BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES, 276(1670), 3037–3045.
Contributors: R. Dunn n , N. Harris n, R. Colwell *, L. Koh * & N. Sodhi*
author keywords: mass extinction; coextinction; chains of extinction; secondary extinctions; climate change; emerging diseases
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; Conservation of Natural Resources; Ecosystem; Extinction, Biological; Food Chain; Greenhouse Effect; Host-Parasite Interactions; Models, Biological; Population Dynamics; Species Specificity; Symbiosis
TL;DR:
This work discusses the interactions and synergies between coextinction and other drivers of species loss, particularly climate change, and suggests the way forward for understanding the phenomenon of co Extinction, which may well be the most insidious threat to global biodiversity.

Human hepatic CYP2B6 developmental expression: The impact of age and genotype
BIOCHEMICAL PHARMACOLOGY, 78(2), 184–190.
author keywords: CYP450; Ontogeny; CYP2B6; CYP3A; Hepatic
MeSH headings : Adolescent; Age Factors; Aryl Hydrocarbon Hydroxylases / biosynthesis; Aryl Hydrocarbon Hydroxylases / chemistry; Aryl Hydrocarbon Hydroxylases / genetics; Child; Child, Preschool; Cytochrome P-450 CYP2B6; Female; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental / physiology; Gene Expression Regulation, Enzymologic / physiology; Genotype; Humans; Infant; Male; Microsomes, Liver / enzymology; Oxidoreductases, N-Demethylating / biosynthesis; Oxidoreductases, N-Demethylating / chemistry; Oxidoreductases, N-Demethylating / genetics
TL;DR:
Hepatic CYP2B6 protein levels were characterized in microsomal protein preparations isolated from a pediatric liver bank and showed consistency with different mechanisms controlling the ontogeny and constitutive expression of these enzymes and the lack of significant induction in the pediatric samples.

author keywords: Freshwater mussel; Heart rate; Temperature; Thermal stress; Unionidae
MeSH headings : Acclimatization / physiology; Animals; Bivalvia / physiology; Fresh Water; Heart Rate; Stress, Physiological; Temperature
TL;DR:
The use of heart rate appears to be a suitable indicator of thermal stress in some unionid mussels.

Grazing by Karenia brevis on Synechococcus enhances its growth rate and may help to sustain blooms
AQUATIC MICROBIAL ECOLOGY, 55(1), 17–30.
author keywords: Karenia brevis; Synechococcus; Mixotrophy; Grazing rate; Irradiance; Nitrogen source; Harmful algal bloom; Red tide
TL;DR:
Grazing by K. brevis enhances the range of nutritional substrates available to meet its growth requirements, and may play a substantial role in sustaining natural populations in inorganic N-poor waters.

Vegetation Effects on Fish Distribution in Impounded Salt Marshes
SOUTHEASTERN NATURALIST, 8(3), 503–514.
TL;DR:
Differences in density, mean size, and species composition of resident fishes between vegetated and unvegetated habitats have important implications for movement of biomass and nutrients out of salt marsh by piscivores (e.g., wading birds and fishes) via a trophic relay.

Use of long-term data and multivariate ordination techniques to identify environmental factors governing estuarine phytoplankton species dynamics
LIMNOLOGY AND OCEANOGRAPHY, 54(6), 2107–2127.
TL;DR:
The data suggest an increasingly important role of ammonium in controlling phytoplankton assemblage structure, including increased abundance of some harmful species, in eutrophic estuaries.

Testing the importance of auditory detections in avian point counts
JOURNAL OF FIELD ORNITHOLOGY, 80(2), 178–182.
author keywords: auditory; detection probability; point counts; sampling; visual
TL;DR:
The results suggest that the detection of birds in forest habitats is almost entirely by auditory cues, and the accuracy and precision of avian point count estimates are likely lower than assumed by most field ornithologists.

Queen reproductive state modulates pheromone production and queen-worker interactions in honeybees
BEHAVIORAL ECOLOGY, 20(5), 1007–1014.
author keywords: behavior; caste; chemical communication; pheromone; reproduction; social insect
TL;DR:
These studies suggest that the queen pheromone blend is modulated by the reproductive status of the queens, and workers can detect these subtle differences and are more responsive to queens with higher reproductive potential.

Plant species loss decreases arthropod diversity and shifts trophic structure
ECOLOGY LETTERS, 12(10), 1029–1039.
author keywords: Arthropods; biodiversity; consumers; ecosystem function; herbivores; insects; long-term; plant diversity; predators; trophic structure
MeSH headings : Animals; Arthropods / physiology; Biodiversity; Extinction, Biological; Food Chain; Plant Development; Plants; Population Density
TL;DR:
The results demonstrate that, over the long term, the loss of plant species propagates through food webs, greatly decreasing arthropod species richness, shifting a predator-dominated trophic structure to being herbivore dominated, and likely impacting ecosystem functioning and services.
