Redispersal of seeds by a keystone ant augments the spread of common wildflowers
ACTA OECOLOGICA-INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ECOLOGY, 40, 31–39.
author keywords: Redispersal; Myrmecochory; Aphaenogaster rudis; Population spread rate; Plant benefits; Temperate forest
TL;DR:
A novel seed-tracking technique is used to quantify secondary dispersal of seeds from the nest into the surrounding leaf litter by the keystone seed-dispersing ant, Aphaenogaster rudis, and suggests myrmecochory benefits plants in eastern North American forests by increasing the distance between the seed and parent plant and reducing competition among siblings.

Global models of ant diversity suggest regions where new discoveries are most likely are under disproportionate deforestation threat
PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 109(19), 7368–7373.
Contributors: B. Gueńard n, M. Weiser n & R. Dunn n
author keywords: biogeography; Formicidae
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / classification; Ants / growth & development; Biodiversity; Conservation of Natural Resources / methods; Ecosystem; Environmental Monitoring / methods; Geography; Models, Biological
TL;DR:
A database representing about 13,000 records for ant generic distribution from over 350 regions that cover much of the globe is assembled, finding that the hotspots of discovery are also the regions in which biodiversity is the most threatened by habitat destruction.

Effects of lead on Na+, K+-ATPase and hemolymph ion concentrations in the freshwater mussel Elliptio complanata
Environmental Toxicology, 27(5), 268–276.
Contributors: S. Mosher n, W. Cope n , F. Weber *, D. Shea n & T. Kwak n
author keywords: freshwater mussels; Elliptio complanata; lead; bioavailability; Na; K plus -ATPase
MeSH headings : Animals; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Fresh Water / chemistry; Gills / drug effects; Gills / metabolism; Hemolymph / metabolism; Ions / metabolism; Lead / analysis; Lead / metabolism; Lead / toxicity; Sodium-Potassium-Exchanging ATPase / metabolism; Unionidae / metabolism; Water Pollutants, Chemical / analysis; Water Pollutants, Chemical / metabolism; Water Pollutants, Chemical / toxicity; Water-Electrolyte Balance / drug effects
TL;DR:
It is concluded that Na+, K+‐ATPase activity in mussels was adversely affected by Pb exposure, however, because the effects on activity were variable at the lower test concentrations, additional research is warranted over this range of exposures.

Within- and across-colony effects of hyperpolyandry on immune function and body condition in honey bees (Apis mellifera)
JOURNAL OF INSECT PHYSIOLOGY, 58(3), 402–407.
author keywords: Social insects; Genetic diversity; Polyandry; Immune response
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees / enzymology; Bees / genetics; Bees / immunology; Disease Resistance; Female; Foreign-Body Reaction; Genetic Variation; Male; Monophenol Monooxygenase / metabolism; Sexual Behavior, Animal
TL;DR:
The results suggest that high genetic diversity as a result of extreme polyandry may have little bearing on the physiological mechanisms of immune function at naturally occurring mating levels in honey bees.

Relationship between fecal hormone concentrations and reproductive success in captive pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis)
JOURNAL OF MAMMALOGY, 93(3), 759–770.
author keywords: captive breeding; conception; fecal glucocorticoids; hormones; lactation; litter size; mating; progestagens; stress; reproduction
TL;DR:
Investigating patterns of fecal progestagen and glucocorticoid excretion in females during mating, gestation, and lactation and identifying hormonal relationships to reproductive success found higher concentrations during the breeding season were associated with reduced conception rates and survival of subsequent litters.

Effect of Low-Head Lock-and-Dam Structures on Migration and Spawning of American Shad and Striped Bass in the Cape Fear River, North Carolina
TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY, 141(2), 402–413.
TL;DR:
E egg distribution and stage of development suggested that most of the American shad spawning took place downstream from the lowermost structure, LD-1, while the probability of capturing a stage-1American shad egg was strongly dependent on water temperature and hour of egg coll...

Recruitment Patterns and Habitat Use of Young-of-the-Year Bluefish along the United States East Coast: Insights from Coordinated Coastwide Sampling
REVIEWS IN FISHERIES SCIENCE, 20(2), 80–102.
author keywords: bluefish Pomatomus saltatrix; recruitment; cohort; habitat; young-of-the-year
TL;DR:
Examination of bluefish, a cosmopolitan coastal spawning species that produces multiple cohorts of juveniles utilizing both estuarine and coastal habitats as nurseries along the U.S. east coast, develops a conceptual model of the seasonal patterns of YOY bluefish habitat use to emphasize the value of coordinated sampling at a large spatial scale in understanding recruitment processes.

Strong influence of regional species pools on continent-wide structuring of local communities
PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY B-BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES, 279(1727), 266–274.
Contributors: J. Lessard *, M. Borregaard *, J. Fordyce *, C. Rahbek *, M. Weiser n, R. Dunn n , N. Sanders *
author keywords: regional species pool; community assembly; phylogenetics; tropical niche conservatism; diversity gradients; Formicidae
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / physiology; Biodiversity; Climate; North America; Phylogeny; Population Dynamics; Temperature
TL;DR:
It is found that the average phylogenetic relatedness of species in ant communities decreases from tropical to temperate regions, but the strength of this relationship depends on the level of ecological realism in the definition of source pools.
