Introduction of Varroa destructor has not altered honey bee queen mating success in the Hawaiian archipelago
SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 11(1).
TL;DR:
The findings suggest that varroa mites, as they currently occur in Hawai’i, may not significantly reduce mating success of honey bee queens, which provides insight for both the reproductive biology of honey bees as well as the apiculture industry in Hawai'i.

TL;DR:
The latitudinal pattern indicates that loss of plant functional diversity will have different consequences on carbon fluxes across the globe, with greater repercussions likely at low latitudes than at high latitudes.

A Bayesian Dirichlet process community occupancy model to estimate community structure and species similarity
ECOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS, 31(2).
author keywords: bird point‐ counts; clustering; community occupancy model; dimensionality; Dirichlet process; infinite‐ mixture models; latent groups
MeSH headings : Algorithms; Bayes Theorem; Computer Simulation; Ecosystem
TL;DR:
This work develops a community occupancy model (COM) using a DP distribution to model species-level parameters and recommends using the DP-COM only when the analysis focuses on community structure and species similarity, as these quantities can only be obtained under theDP-COM.

NPJ CLIMATE AND ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE, 4(1).
TL;DR:
Potential changes to extreme rainfall across ENC are explored and quantified for 2025–2100 for three tropical cyclones using an approach based on relative changes in future extreme rainfall frequencies (return periods) from dynamically downscaled projections.

A Pilot Study on Baseline Fungi and Moisture Indicator Fungi in Danish Homes
JOURNAL OF FUNGI, 7(2).
author keywords: Aspergillus; Cladosporium; Penicillium; ITS1 sequencing; DG18; V8; baseline spora; building mycobiota; indoor fungi
TL;DR:
The results show that ITS sequencing of dust samples is adequate if supported by thorough building inspections and that food products play as large a role in the composition of the baseline spora as the outdoor air and surrounding vegetation.

A Comparison of Pesticide Risk Beliefs between Farmers and Farmworkers: Implications for Risk Communication and Education
Journal of Agromedicine, 26(4), 436–440.
author keywords: Pesticides; risk beliefs; farmers; farmworkers
MeSH headings : Agriculture; Communication; Farmers; Health Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice; Humans; Occupational Exposure; Pesticides / toxicity
TL;DR:
With an understanding that farmworkers rely on the physical properties of pesticides to assess risk, educators and farmers can encourage more reliable ways to assess pesticide hazards.

(Broken) Promises of Sustainable Food and Agriculture through New Biotechnologies: The CRISPR Case
CRISPR JOURNAL, 4(1), 25–31.
MeSH headings : Agriculture; Animals; Biotechnology; CRISPR-Cas Systems; Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats; Crops, Agricultural / genetics; Food; Food Supply; Gene Editing; Livestock / genetics
TL;DR:
The CRISPR community must actively engage with international deliberations, society, and national governance systems that have promised to build better agricultural systems and provide better food products to achieve equitable outcomes while protecting the environment because without this active engagement, the promises discussed in this paper are sure to be broken.

Modeling structural mechanics of oyster reef self-organization including environmental constraints and community interactions
ECOLOGICAL MODELLING, 440.
Contributors: S. Yurek *, M. Eaton n , R. Lavaud *, R. Laney*, D. DeAngelis, W. Pine *, M. La Peyre*, J. Martin *
author keywords: Self-organization; Oyster reef; Substrate; Living shorelines; Restoration; Prediction
TL;DR:
A three-dimensional individual-based model (IBM) of oyster reef mechanics is developed to summarize trends in dynamics that are robust across this uncertainty, and to generate new hypotheses and predictions for future studies.

Nectar addition changes pollinator behavior but not plant reproduction in pollen‐rewarding <i>Lupinus argenteus
American Journal of Botany, 108(3), 402–410.
author keywords: Bombus; floral reward strategy; foraging; nectar addition; novel phenotype; pollen limitation; pollinator reward; single‐ visit deposition
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees; Female; Flowers; Humans; Lupinus; Male; Plant Nectar; Pollen; Pollination; Reproduction; Reward
TL;DR:
The results suggest that a pollen-only reward strategy may allow plants that are visited by pollen foragers to minimize some costs of reproduction by eliminating investment in other rewards, such as nectar, without compromising female plant fitness.

Fawn Counts and Adult Female Site Use Are Mismatched Indicators of Habitat Quality in an Endangered Deer
DIVERSITY-BASEL, 13(2).
author keywords: camera traps; Florida Keys; hierarchical model; N-mixture model; sea-level rise
TL;DR:
It is indicated that fawn abundance was negatively associated with increasing elevation and human trails, contrary to models based on adult female observations alone, and the lowest elevations where fawns were most abundant were associated with dense wetland plant communities, which warrant further investigation given that those areas are most vulnerable to sea-level rise.

A rolling stone gathers no eggs: the importance of stream insect egg laying natural history for stream restoration
Ecology, 102(7).
author keywords: natural channel design; oviposition; particle size; recruitment; substrate stability
MeSH headings : Animals; Insecta; Oviposition; Ovum; Rivers
TL;DR:
The degradation of waterways has led to the widespread practice of stream restoration aimed at accelerating recovery from damage by land-use change and other disturbances, but the biological recovery of restored streams often lags behind their physical and chemical recovery.

TL;DR:
A set of integrated, hierarchical models to estimate management-mediated transition rates among vegetation classes in two dominant scrub communities and the species response (local colonization and extinction probabilities) as a function of habitat state are developed.

ECOSPHERE, 12(1).
author keywords: carrion use; decomposition; Mara Serengeti; marabou stork; mass mortality; river; scavenger; succession; vulture; wildebeest
TL;DR:
Investigation of scavenger use and succession on wildebeest carcasses that resulted from annual mass drownings in the Mara River, Kenya found patterns of temporal resource partitioning, with large-bodied avian scavengers more common initially, followed by small-bodied bird scavengers, and then by insectivorous birds and non-avian scavenger.
