Disease where you dine: plant species and floral traits associated with pathogen transmission in bumble bees
Ecology, 99(11), 2535–2545.
author keywords: bee decline; bee parasites; Bombus impatiens; Crithidia; environmental reservoir; floral traits; foraging behavior; trait-based; transmission hotspots
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees; Crithidia; Flowers / anatomy & histology; Phenotype; Plants
TL;DR:
Variation among plant species, through their influence on pathogen transmission, may shape bee disease dynamics, and surprisingly, floral size and morphology did not significantly predict transmission across species.

Why are some plant–nectar robber interactions commensalisms?
Oikos, 127(11), 1679–1689.
author keywords: nectar robbing; commensalism; Corydalis caseana; plant reproduction
TL;DR:
Three mechanistic hypotheses that can explain when interactions between plants and nectar‐robbers should be commensal rather than antagonistic are outlined: the non‐discrimination (pollinators do not avoid robbed flowers), visitor prevalence (robber visitation is rare relative to pollinator visitation), and pollen saturation (stigmas receive sufficient pollen to fertilize all ovules with one or very few pollinator visits) hypotheses.

Metabolic profiling of silver nanoparticle toxicity in Microcystis aeruginosa
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE-NANO, 5(11), 2519–2530.
Contributors: J. Zhang*, Z. Zhou *, Y. Pei*, Q. Xiang *, X. Chang*, J. Ling *, D. Shea n , L. Chen *
TL;DR:
Study of the cellular metabolism of the cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa by using metabolomics based on non-targeted liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry reveals that exposure to AgNPs elevates superoxide dismutase activity and malondialdehyde generation, damages the thylakoids, and interrupts the endocytosis process in algae cells.

Taxon cycle predictions supported by model-based inference in Indo-Pacific trap-jaw ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Odontomachus)
MOLECULAR ECOLOGY, 27(20), 4090–4107.
author keywords: biogeography; diversification; Formicidae; insect; Melanesia; taxon cycle
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / classification; Ants / genetics; Ecosystem; Phylogeny; Phylogeography
TL;DR:
There is strong evidence that habitat shifts from forest interior to open and disturbed habitats increased macroevolutionary dispersal rate and the phylogenetic predictions outlined in this study can be used in future work to evaluate the relative weights of neutral and non‐neutral processes in historical biogeography and community ecology.

Movement ecology of a mobile predatory fish reveals limited habitat linkages within a temperate estuarine seascape
CANADIAN JOURNAL OF FISHERIES AND AQUATIC SCIENCES, 75(11), 1990–1998.
TL;DR:
Red drum movement data highlight potential within-estuary spatial structure for mobile fishes and could inform subsequent efforts to track energy flows in coastal food webs, predict the footprint of local habitat restoration benefits, and enhance the design of survey regimes to quantify overall population demography.

Contributors: A. Shade, R. Dunn n , S. Blowes *, P. Keil *, B. Bohannan *, M. Herrmann *, K. Küsel*, J. Lennon*
MeSH headings : Biodiversity; Ecology / classification; Ecology / methods
TL;DR:
It is argued that it is time to bridge the gap in microbial ecology and macroecology, as they share a common currency of species and individuals, and a common goal of understanding the causes and consequences of changes in biodiversity.

Feeding ecology of invasive lionfish (Pterois volitans and Pterois miles) in the temperate and tropical western Atlantic
BIOLOGICAL INVASIONS, 20(9), 2567–2597.
author keywords: Cumulative prey curves; Feeding ecology; Food webs; Indices of prey importance; Invasive species; Pterois volitans; Pterois miles; Regional diet trends
TL;DR:
Regional data indicate lionfish in the western Atlantic are opportunistic generalist carnivores that consume at least 167 vertebrate and invertebrate prey species across multiple trophic guilds, and carnivorous fish and shrimp prey that are not managed fishery species and not considered at risk of extinction by the International Union for Conservation of Nature disproportionately dominate their diet.

author keywords: Floral trait manipulation; horizontal transmission; plant secondary metabolites; terpenoids; tritrophic interactions; trypanosomatids
TL;DR:
Floral transmission directly exposes parasites to phytochemicals on floral surfaces and in nectar, both at flowers and, post‐ingestion, in the crop.
