Leptin Stimulates Cellular Glycolysis Through a STAT3 Dependent Mechanism in Tilapia
FRONTIERS IN ENDOCRINOLOGY, 9.
author keywords: leptin; prolactin cell; hepatocytes; pituitary; RNAseq; fishes; phosphofructokinase-1
TL;DR:
It is suggested that one of leptin's ancient, highly-conserved functions among vertebrates may be stimulation of glycolysis to facilitate the energetic needs associated with various stressors in a teleost fish.

Phenotypic selection on floral traits in an urban landscape
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 285(1884), 20181239.
author keywords: floral display size; florivory; phenotypic selection; pollination; spatial variation
MeSH headings : Alkaloids / metabolism; Cities; Flowers / chemistry; Flowers / growth & development; Gelsemium / chemistry; Gelsemium / growth & development; Gelsemium / physiology; Herbivory; North Carolina; Phenotype; Pollination; Selection, Genetic
TL;DR:
Evaluated patterns of phenotypic selection on the floral and resistance traits of Gelsemium sempervirens in urban and non-urban sites suggest that urban landscapes may not result in sweeping differences in phenotypesic selection but rather modest differences for some traits, potentially mediated by species interactions.

Resurgence of specialized shade coffee cultivation: Effects on pollination services and quality of coffee production
Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 265, 567–575.
author keywords: Coffea arabica; Coffea canephora; Fruit set; Seed predation; Bean weight; Beverage quality
TL;DR:
Investigation of the ways in which fruit set, seed predation, bean weight, proportion of peaberries, and beverage quality differ between sun and specialized shade plantations of Coffeea arabica and Coffea canephora finds that specialized shade benefits the proportion of C. arabicas fruit set without compromising bean weight or theportion ofPeaberries produced.

Dominance-diversity relationships in ant communities differ with invasion
GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY, 24(10), 4614–4625.
Contributors: X. Arnan *, A. Andersen *, H. Gibb *, C. Parr *, N. Sanders *, R. Dunn n , E. Angulo *, F. Baccaro *
author keywords: ants; behavioral dominance; coexistence; dominance-impoverishment rule; global scale; invasive species; precipitation; species richness; temperature
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / physiology; Biodiversity; Climate; Ecosystem

Drivers of Microbiome Biodiversity: A Review of General Rules, Feces, and Ignorance
[Review of ]. MBIO, 9(4).
author keywords: diversity; gut; microbiome
MeSH headings : Animals; Diet; Feces / microbiology; Gastrointestinal Microbiome; Gastrointestinal Tract / microbiology; Gastrointestinal Tract / physiology

Improving our understanding of demographic monitoring: avian breeding productivity in a tropical dry forest
JOURNAL OF FIELD ORNITHOLOGY, 89(3), 258–275.
author keywords: capture-recapture; MAPS; mist-nets; Puerto Rico; radio-telemetry; temporary emigration
TL;DR:
The results suggest that indices of breeding productivity from mist‐netting data may track temporal changes in productivity, but such data likely do not reflect “true” productivity in most cases unless age‐specific differences in capture probability are incorporated into estimates.

Wild bee abundance declines with urban warming, regardless of floral density
Urban Ecosystems, 21(3), 419–428.
TL;DR:
Bee abundance declined by about 41% per °C urban warming, and temperature was among the best predictors of bee abundance and community composition, and local impervious surface and floral density were also important predictors, although only large bees appeared to benefit from high floral density.
