Using evolutionary tools to search for novel psychoactive plants
Plant Genetic Resources, 14(4), 246–255.
Contributors: M. Halse-Gramkow*, M. Ernst *, N. Ronsted *, R. Dunn n & C. Saslis-Lagoudakis*
author keywords: bioprospecting; ethnobotany; medicinal plants; phylogeny; prediction
TL;DR:
This work compiled a database of 501 psychoactive plant species and their properties and mapped these plant attributes on a phylogenetic tree of all land plant genera and showed that psychoactive properties are not randomly distributed on the phylogeny of land plants; instead certain plant lineages show overabundance of psycho active properties.

Trophic structure of pelagic species in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea
JOURNAL OF SEA RESEARCH, 117, 27–35.
author keywords: Stable isotopes; Pelagic fish; Isotopic niche; Food web; Community structure; Seasonal; Trophic segregation
TL;DR:
Stable isotope analyses used to investigate trophic interactions in the pelagic ecosystem of the northwestern Mediterranean Sea during 2012 and 2013 suggest that European sardine, Sardina pilchardus, and anchovy, Engraulis encrasicolus, are consumers located at relatively low levels of the Pelagic food web.

Bumble bee parasite strains vary in resistance to phytochemicals
Scientific Reports, 6(1).
MeSH headings : Anabasine / pharmacology; Animals; Bees / parasitology; Cells, Cultured; Crithidia / drug effects; Crithidia / pathogenicity; Crithidia / physiology; Eugenol / pharmacology; Host-Parasite Interactions; Phytochemicals / pharmacology; Thymol / pharmacology; Thymus Plant / chemistry
TL;DR:
Exposure of C. bombi to naturally occurring levels of phytochemicals—either within bees or during parasite transmission via flowers—could influence infection in nature, suggesting that selection for phytochemical resistance could drive parasite evolution.

author keywords: Capture-recapture-resight data sets; Integrated modelling; Mixture models; Reversible jump; Semipalmated sandpipers; Stopover data
TL;DR:
Finite mixtures of continuous distributions are proposed in modelling the process by which new individuals, that arrive in groups, become part of a wildlife population to provide new ecological insights about the stopover behaviour of semipalmated sandpipers.

Urban warming reduces aboveground carbon storage
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 283(1840), 20161574.
Contributors: E. Meineke n, E. Youngsteadt n, R. Dunn n & S. Frank n
author keywords: climate change; urban ecology; carbon storage; urban heat island effect; ecosystem services; herbivory
MeSH headings : Animals; Carbon; Carbon Sequestration; Cities; Ecosystem; Herbivory; Insecta; Temperature; Trees / physiology
TL;DR:
The results suggest that urban trees will sequester even less carbon in the future and ecosystem service assessments that do not consider urban conditions may overestimate urban tree carbon storage.

The diversity of arthropods in homes across the United States as determined by environmental DNA analyses
Molecular Ecology, 25(24), 6214–6224.
Contributors: A. Madden n, A. Barberán *, M. Bertone n , H. Menninger n, R. Dunn n & N. Fierer *
author keywords: allergens; arthropod diversity; cytochrome c oxidase; DNA barcoding; insect diversity
MeSH headings : Allergens; Animals; Arthropods / classification; DNA / analysis; Dust / analysis; Food Chain; Housing; United States
TL;DR:
S Settled dust samples were collected by citizen scientists from both inside and outside more than 700 homes across the United States, yielding the first continental‐scale estimates of arthropod diversity associated with the authors' residences.

Factors affecting wetland connectivity for wintering semipalmated sandpipers (Calidris pusilla) in the Caribbean
Waterbirds, 39(3), 250–259.
TL;DR:
It is indicated that coastal wetlands in southwestern Puerto Rico were connected, pointing at the joint value of salt flats and mangroves for overwintering Semipalmated Sandpipers, which likely widens resource diversity, which is essential for coping with unpredictable environments.

Using machine learning to produce near surface soil moisture estimates from deeper in situ records at US Climate Reference Network (USCRN) locations: Analysis and applications to AMSR-E satellite validation
ADVANCES IN WATER RESOURCES, 98, 122–131.
author keywords: Soil moisture; Remote sensing; Modeling; USCRN; AMSR-E; ECONet
TL;DR:
It was shown that a 5 cm estimate, which was extrapolated from a 10 cm sensor and antecedent local precipitation, produced a root-mean-squared-error (RMSE) of 0.0215 m 3 /m 3 .

Microbial diversity of extreme habitats in human homes
PeerJ, 4(9), e2376.
Contributors: A. Savage *, J. Hills*, K. Driscoll, D. Fergus*, A. Grunden n & R. Dunn n
author keywords: Community Ecology; Extreme environments; Human Homes; Interactive effects; Microbialdiversity; Temperature; pH; Chemical
TL;DR:
High-throughput sequencing techniques are used to assess bacterial and archaeal diversity in the extreme environments inside human homes with extreme temperature, pH, and chemical environmental conditions, finding a lower diversity of microbes in these extreme home environments compared to less extreme habitats in the home.

Life Inside an Acorn: How Microclimate and Microbes Influence Nest Organization in Temnothorax Ants
ETHOLOGY, 122(10), 790–797.
author keywords: nest architecture; thermoregulation; microbes; pathogens; ants; Temnothorax
TL;DR:
The relatively strong response of T. curvispinosus to microbial growth inside their nests suggests that pathogen pressures—in addition to microclimate—have a significant impact on how colonies use nest spaces.

In-hive Pesticide Exposome: Assessing risks to migratory honey bees from in-hive pesticide contamination in the Eastern United States
SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 6.
MeSH headings : Animal Migration / drug effects; Animals; Bees / drug effects; Bees / physiology; Drug Contamination; Pesticide Residues / toxicity; Pesticides / analysis; Pesticides / toxicity; Risk Assessment; United States
TL;DR:
It is found that fungicides with particular modes of action increased disproportionally in wax within colonies that died, and the occurrence of queen events, a significant risk factor for colony health and productivity, was positively associated with all three proxies of pesticide exposure.

Improving Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Biodegradation in Contaminated Soil Through Low-Level Surfactant Addition After Conventional Bioremediation
ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING SCIENCE, 33(9), 659–670.
Contributors: A. Adrion*, D. Singleton*, J. Nakamura*, D. Shea n & M. Aitken*
author keywords: bioremediation; bacterial community; PAH; soil; surfactant; toxicity
TL;DR:
Research using submicellar doses of surfactant as a second-stage treatment step is limited and these findings can inform the design of bioremediation systems at field sites treating soil contaminated with PAHs and other hydrophobic contaminants that have low bioaccessibility.

Geographic variation in resistance to nectar robbing and consequences for pollination
AMERICAN JOURNAL OF BOTANY, 103(10), 1819–1828.
author keywords: Carolina jessamine; common garden experiment; nectar robbing; Gelsemium sempervirens; geographic mosaic; Loganiaceae; pollination; resistance
MeSH headings : Animal Distribution; Animals; Biological Evolution; Flowers / physiology; Gelsemium / physiology; Georgia; Insecta / physiology; Plant Nectar / analysis; Pollination; Symbiosis
TL;DR:
It is indicated that geographic variation can play a strong role structuring interactions with floral antagonists and mutualists and provides evidence consistent with the hypothesis that local resistance to nectar robbing imposes costs in terms of decreased pollinator attraction and reproduction.
