What is a home range?
JOURNAL OF MAMMALOGY, 93(4), 948–958.
author keywords: cognitive map; currency; fitness surface; global positioning system; hippocampus; home range; telemetry
TL;DR:
Roger Powell documented his own use of space for 65 days, obtaining complete data on where he went, what he did, and how much energy and money he expended and gained in each place, providing insight into what a home range is and how ecologists should approach quantifying other animals' home ranges.

2012 journal article
Tradeoffs in the Evolution of Caste and Body Size in the Hyperdiverse Ant Genus Pheidole
PLOS ONE, 7(10).
Contributors: T. McGlynn*, S. Diamond n & R. Dunn n
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / genetics; Ants / physiology; Behavior, Animal; Biodiversity; Biological Evolution; Body Size / genetics; Ecology; Least-Squares Analysis; Phylogeny; Species Specificity
TL;DR:
It is concluded that production of soldiers in the most species-rich group of ants is regulated by a body size threshold mechanism, and that the great variation in body size and caste ratio in Pheidole plays a role in niche divergence in this rapidly evolving taxon.

NITROGEN LIMITATION INCREASES BREVETOXINS IN KARENIA BREVIS (DINOPHYCEAE): IMPLICATIONS FOR BLOOM TOXICITY
JOURNAL OF PHYCOLOGY, 48(4), 844–858.
Contributors: D. Ransom Hardison*, W. Sunda*, R. Wayne Litaker *, D. Shea n & P. Tester *
author keywords: brevetoxins; carbon:nutrient balance hypothesis; cellular volume; CNBH; harmful algal blooms (HAB); Karenia brevis; management; nitrogen limitation; nutrients; PbTx
TL;DR:
The data suggest at least some of the >4‐fold difference in toxicity per cell reported from field studies can be explained by limitation by nitrogen or other nutrients and by differences in cell size, which is consistent with the carbon:nutrient balance hypothesis for increases in toxins and other plant defenses under nutrient limitation.

Foraging optimally for home ranges
JOURNAL OF MAMMALOGY, 93(4), 917–928.
author keywords: area minimization; black bear; distribution; habitat quality; home range; optimality; resource depression; resource maximization
TL;DR:
This work presents economic models that predict how home ranges can be efficient with respect to spatially distributed resources, discounted for travel costs, under 2 strategies of optimization, resource maximization and area minimization, and shows how constraints such as competitors can influence structure of homes ranges through resource depression.

Diverse perspectives on mammal home ranges or a home range is more than location densities
JOURNAL OF MAMMALOGY, 93(4), 887–889.
author keywords: cognitive map; habitat quality; home range; hypothesis testing; resources
TL;DR:
5 papers provide statistical, economic, game theoretic, mechanistic, information dependent, and conceptual approaches to understanding home ranges and why animals have them and oppose viewing home ranges as the product of measurements.

A physiological trait-based approach to predicting the responses of species to experimental climate warming
ECOLOGY, 93(11), 2305–2312.
Contributors: S. Diamond n, L. Nichols n , N. McCoy n, C. Hirsch n, S. Pelini*, N. Sanders *, A. Ellison *, N. Gotelli *, R. Dunn n
author keywords: critical thermal maximum; Duke Forest; North Carolina; USA; ectotherm responses to global warming; Formicidae; global change; Harvard Forest; Massachusetts; USA; maximum entropy; physiology; species distribution model; temperate hardwood forests; eastern North America; thermal tolerance
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Physiological / genetics; Adaptation, Physiological / physiology; Animals; Ants / classification; Ants / genetics; Ants / physiology; Climate Change; Ecosystem; Hot Temperature; Models, Biological; Species Specificity; Trees
TL;DR:
In environments close to a species' physiological limits, physiological trait-based measurements can successfully forecast the responses of species to future conditions, and such models may not be accurate for predicting site-level responses.

Phenotypic shifts in white perch life history strategy across stages of invasion
BIOLOGICAL INVASIONS, 14(11), 2315–2329.
author keywords: Life history; Reservoir; Invasion stage; Establishment; Assimilation; Morone americana
TL;DR:
Overall, it appears that life history plasticity confers an important advantage to invasive species, allowing them to adapt for successful transitions throughout the invasion process, as well as to local conditions within the invaded system once they become fully integrated into established communities.

GROUP-FORAGING EFFECTS ON CAPTURE RATE IN WADING BIRDS
CONDOR, 114(4), 744–754.
author keywords: aggregation; foraging success; Great Egret; group foraging; Snowy Egret; social-facilitation hypothesis; Tricolored Heron
TL;DR:
This study measured the capture rates of birds foraging solitarily and in groups at foraging sites and paired unused sites and used generalized linear mixed models and information-theoretic model selection to access the evidence that individuals increase their foraging success when foraging in groups.

FERTILIZATION DATES, PELAGIC LARVAL DURATIONS, AND GROWTH IN GAG (MYCTEROPERCA MICROLEPIS) FROM NORTH CAROLINA, USA
BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 88(4), 971–986.
TL;DR:
The findings support the timing (January-April) of fishing closures on aggregations of spawning gag in the southeast US and suggest that post-settlement survival is not linked to pelagic larval duration.

ANNUAL SURVIVAL OF RED KNOTS (CALIDRIS CANUTUS RUFA) WINTERING IN FLORIDA
AUK, 129(4), 725–733.
author keywords: Barker model; Calidris canutus; Florida; Red Knot; survival; site fidelity
TL;DR:
Similar adult survival rates suggested that there was no apparent survival cost for adults migrating to and from Florida compared with those migrating elsewhere, and low year-to-year variation of adult survival suggests that other vital rates with higher variation may exert a stronger influence on population growth and partly account for the observed decline.

A Jungle in There: Bacteria in Belly Buttons are Highly Diverse, but Predictable
PLoS ONE, 7(11), e47712.
Contributors: J. Hulcr n, A. Latimer*, J. Henley *, N. Rountree n, N. Fierer *, A. Lucky n, M. Lowman*, R. Dunn n
Ed(s): C. Moreau
MeSH headings : Archaea / genetics; Bacteria / genetics; Humans; Molecular Typing; Phylogeny; RNA, Archaeal / genetics; RNA, Bacterial / genetics; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S / genetics; Sequence Analysis, DNA; Umbilicus / microbiology
TL;DR:
The hypothesis that “oligarchs” dominate diverse assemblages appears to be supported by human-associated bacteria, as shown in the analysis of bacteria and arachaea from the belly buttons of humans sampled within a nation-wide citizen science project.
