Comparison of zooxanthellae densities from upside-down jellyfish, Cassiopea xamachana, across coastal habitats of The Bahamas
REVISTA DE BIOLOGIA MARINA Y OCEANOGRAFIA, 51(1), 203–208.
author keywords: Benthic; facilitation; human impacts; heterotrophy; mutualism
TL;DR:
Gut contents from Cassiopea medusae were positively correlated to zooxanthellae densities, indicating that heterotrophically-derived nutrition may be an important factor in facilitating increased zooxanhellae population densities.

Sharing the Roles: An Assessment of Japanese Medaka Estrogen Receptors in Vitellogenin Induction
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, 50(16), 8886–8895.
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Assay; Estradiol / metabolism; Estrogens / metabolism; Gene Expression / drug effects; Oryzias / metabolism; Receptors, Estrogen / metabolism; Up-Regulation / drug effects; Vitellogenins / metabolism
TL;DR:
Investigation of putative roles of three ER subtypes in Japanese medaka shows that all three medaka ERs are capable of initiating transactivation of both VTG I and II, and suggests that preferential ligand/receptor/promoter interactions may have direct implications for VTG gene expression and other ER-mediated regulatory functions that are relevant to the risk assessment of estrogenic compounds.

author keywords: Larkspur; Delphinium; Norditerpene alkaloids; Plant parts; Life history
TL;DR:
It is suggested that alkaloid allocation in different plant parts of D. nuttallianum is influenced by life history of the plant, consistent with plant defense theory, and the ecological significance of this structural diversification awaits further exploration.

Migratory management and environmental conditions affect lifespan and oxidative stress in honey bees
Scientific Reports, 6.
MeSH headings : Age Factors; Agriculture / methods; Animals; Bees / physiology; California; Maine; Malondialdehyde / analysis; Malondialdehyde / metabolism; North Carolina; Oxidative Stress
TL;DR:
It was found that migration affected oxidative stress levels in honey bees, but that food scarcity had an even larger impact; some detrimental effects of migration may be alleviated by a greater abundance of forage.

Honey bee colonies regulate queen reproductive traits by controlling which queens survive to adulthood
INSECTES SOCIAUX, 63(1), 169–174.
author keywords: Social physiology; Colony-level selection; Royal cheats; Queen reproductive potential
TL;DR:
It is suggested that colonies regulate queen quality traits by curtailing low-quality queens from fully developing, which is further evidence that cooperation predominates over potential conflict within honey bee colonies.

Genetic variability in meiotic gynogenetic muskellunge, Esox masquinongy (Mitchell), estimated from segregation of microsatellite alleles
AQUACULTURE RESEARCH, 47(9), 2705–2715.
author keywords: muskellunge; gynogenesis; microsatellite; genetic variation; genetic recombination; inbreeding
TL;DR:
Induced meiotic diploid gynogenesis may pose an expeditious alternative to traditional breeding strategies for creation of homozygous pedigrees for some loci that may be outcrossed to introduce positive heterozygosity effects in the offspring.

Do coyotes Canis latrans influence occupancy of prey in suburban forest fragments?
CURRENT ZOOLOGY, 62(1), 1–6.
author keywords: camera traps; coyote; deer; rabbit; squirrel; urban wildlife
TL;DR:
Coyotes play an important role in regulating the herbivorous mammals and hence may provide similar ecological benefits in urban/suburban forest fragments through trophic cascades, since hunting may not be allowed in urban and suburban habitats.
