Genetic diversity confers colony-level benefits due to individual immunity
BIOLOGY LETTERS, 12(3).
author keywords: Apis mellifera; polyandry; social insects; individual versus social immunity
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees / growth & development; Bees / immunology; Bees / microbiology; Genetic Variation; Larva / growth & development; Larva / immunology; Larva / microbiology; Paenibacillus larvae / physiology
TL;DR:
By pathogen-challenging larvae in vitro, this work decoupled larval immune response from mechanisms of social immunity and shows that baseline immunity and degree of immune response do not vary with genetic diversity, however, intracolony variance in antimicrobial peptide production after pathogen challenge decreases with increasing genetic diversity.

Diet Diversity Is Associated with Beta but not Alpha Diversity of Pika Gut Microbiota
FRONTIERS IN MICROBIOLOGY, 7.
author keywords: diet; gut microbiota; plateau pikas; alpha diversity; beta diversity
TL;DR:
This study is the first time to highlight the relationship between diet and gut microbiota composition in wild pikas on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and suggests that the species richness within individual gut microbiota does not linearly increase with diet diversity, whereas those individuals that are more similar in diet composition harbor more similar gut microbiota.

Connectivity from a different perspective: comparing seed dispersal kernels in connected vs. unfragmented landscapes
ECOLOGY, 97(5), 1274–1282.
author keywords: Anemochory; connectivity; dispersal kernel; habitat fragmentation; isotope marker; landscape ecology; longleaf pine savanna; seed dispersal; zoochory
MeSH headings : Animals; Birds; Demography; Ecosystem; Magnoliopsida / physiology; Seeds / classification; Seeds / physiology; South Carolina
TL;DR:
Results show that corridors can facilitate dispersal probabilities comparable to those observed in unfragmented landscapes, and indicate that prior work has likely underestimated dispersal distances of wind-dispersed plants and that factors altering long-distance dispersal may have a greater impact on the spread of species than previously thought.

Assessing species traits and landscape relationships of the mammalian carnivore community in a neotropical biological corridor
BIODIVERSITY AND CONSERVATION, 25(4), 739–752.
author keywords: Biological corridor; Camera traps; Carnivores; Occupancy models; Omnivores; Mesopredators
TL;DR:
A camera trap survey at 38 sites across the San Juan–La Selva Biological Corridor in Costa Rica to assess occupancy and detection probabilities of the carnivore community revealed a negative relationship between omnivorous mesopredators and increasing forest and tree plantation cover, suggesting omnivores utilize forest fragments and edge habitats in agricultural landscapes.

Abundance estimates to inform butterfly management: double-observer versus distance sampling
JOURNAL OF INSECT CONSERVATION, 20(3), 505–514.
author keywords: Butterfly; Abundance estimation; Hairstreak; Double observer; Distance sampling; Conservation; Management; Endangered species
TL;DR:
A novel comparison of two methods that permit the incorporation of detection probabilities into abundance estimates, distance sampling and double-observer surveys is presented, suggesting that double-OBserver is a reasonable alternative method to use for estimating detection probability and abundance for rare species that cannot be surveyed with other, more commonly used methods.

Timing of translocation influences birth rate and population dynamics in a forest carnivore
ECOSPHERE, 7(1).
author keywords: California; carnivore; delayed implantation; fisher; life history; Olympic Peninsula; Pekania pennanti; population extinction; reintroduction; reproduction; timing; translocation; Washington
TL;DR:
The results from both empirical data and simulations show that the timing of translocation should be considered during planning of translocations and implemented before the capture, movement, and release of organisms for translocation.

2016 review
The dual role of nitrogen supply in controlling the growth and toxicity of cyanobacterial blooms
[Review of ]. HARMFUL ALGAE, 54, 87–97.
author keywords: Nitrogen; Phosphorus; Cyanobacteria; Microcystis; Diazotrophy; Nutrients
MeSH headings : Cyanobacteria / metabolism; Cyanobacteria / physiology; Fresh Water / chemistry; Fresh Water / microbiology; Microcystins / metabolism; Microcystins / toxicity; Nitrogen / metabolism; Phosphorus / metabolism
TL;DR:
Multi-year observations from western Lake Erie are presented demonstrating that microcystin concentrations peak in parallel with inorganic N, but not orthophosphate, concentrations and are significantly lower during years of reduced inorganic nitrogen loading and concentrations, which supports the premise that management actions to reduce P in the absence of concurrent restrictions on N loading may not effectively control the growth and/or toxicity of non-diazotrophic toxic cyanobacteria.

Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Queen Reproductive Potential Affects Queen Mandibular Gland Pheromone Composition and Worker Retinue Response
PLOS ONE, 11(6).
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees / chemistry; Bees / physiology; Behavior, Animal; Exocrine Glands / metabolism; Female; Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry; Insect Hormones / chemistry; Insect Hormones / physiology; Larva / chemistry; Larva / physiology; Male; Mandible / metabolism; Pheromones / chemistry; Pheromones / physiology; Reproduction / physiology; Scent Glands / metabolism; Social Behavior
TL;DR:
The results indicate that the age at which honey bee larvae enter the “queen-specific” developmental pathway influences the chemical composition of queen mandibular glands and worker behavior, however, these changes are not consistent across years, suggesting that other external factors may play important roles in modulating queen quality.

Fishing down nutrients on coral reefs
NATURE COMMUNICATIONS, 7.
MeSH headings : Animals; Anthozoa / growth & development; Anthozoa / metabolism; Biomass; Caribbean Region; Conservation of Natural Resources; Coral Reefs; Ecosystem; Fisheries; Fishes / growth & development; Fishes / metabolism; Food; Population Dynamics; Seawater / chemistry
TL;DR:
It is found that in fished sites fish-mediated nutrient capacity is reduced almost 50%, despite no substantial changes in the number of species, which suggests that a broader perspective that incorporates predictable impacts of fishing pressure on ecosystem function is imperative for effective coral reef conservation and management.
