Cryptic "royal" subfamilies in honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies
PLOS ONE, 13(7).
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees / genetics; Bees / growth & development; Female; Inheritance Patterns; Larva / genetics; Larva / growth & development; Male; Reproduction; Selection, Genetic; Sexual Behavior, Animal; Social Behavior
TL;DR:
The identification of these cryptic “royal” subfamilies reveals that honey bee queens, already considered “hyperpolyandrous,” are mating with even more males than has been previously recognized.

Co-occurrence dynamics of endangered Lower Keys marsh rabbits and free-ranging domestic cats: Prey responses to an exotic predator removal program
ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 8(8), 4042–4052.
author keywords: invasive species; occupancy; predator management; predator-prey dynamics
TL;DR:
It is suggested that while rabbits can colonize and persist at sites where cats occur, it is the number of individual cats at a site that more strongly influences rabbit occupancy and colonization as they recolonize restored habitats.

Response of beach-nesting American Oystercatchers to off-road vehicles: An experimental approach reveals physiological nuances and decreased nest attendance
The Condor, 120(1), 47–62.
author keywords: Field experiment; in situ; paired design; flight response; freezing behavior; American Oystercatcher
TL;DR:
Higher nest attendance and lower departure rates late in incubation may have reflected a stronger attachment to nests closer to hatching or habituation to the driving treatment, although individuals continued to exhibit physiological responses to passing vehicles throughout incubation.

High interspecific variation in nutrient excretion within a guild of closely related caddisfly species
Ecosphere, 9(5).
author keywords: caddisflies; climate change; consumer-driven nutrient regeneration; ecological redundancy; ecological stoichiometry; excretion; functional traits; guilds; macroinvertebrates; trait-based variation; wetlands
TL;DR:
The considerable variation within guilds revealed by the metaanalysis suggests that functional redundancy among guild members is difficult to predict, and some natural or human-caused species gains or losses within biological groupings such as guilds and trophic levels could have little or no effect on ecosystem processes, whereas others could have very large effects.

Chasing a changing climate: Reproductive and dispersal traits predict how sessile species respond to global warming
DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTIONS, 24(7), 880–891.
Ed(s): A. Ricciardi
author keywords: adaptive management; climate change; endangered species; freshwater mussels; life history; Unionidae
TL;DR:
Assessment of reproductive and dispersal traits of freshwater mussels, sessile invertebrates that require species‐specific fish for larval dispersal and other species' range shifts associated with climate change finds that limited mobility and imperilled status place some species at a potentially greater risk of range loss, extirpation or extinction due to climate change.

Contributors: M. Leong*, R. Dunn n & M. Trautwein*
author keywords: luxury effect; biodiversity; socioeconomics; urban ecology
MeSH headings : Animals; Biodiversity; Cities; Ecosystem; Humans; Plants; Socioeconomic Factors
TL;DR:
The ecological dynamics of cities are influenced not only by geophysical and biological factors, but also by aspects of human society, and a pattern of higher biodiversity in affluent neighbourhoods has been termed ‘the luxury effect'.

Ambient nutrient availability drives the outcome of an interaction between a sponge (Halichondria melanadocia) and seagrass (Thalassia testudinum)
JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL MARINE BIOLOGY AND ECOLOGY, 503, 86–91.
author keywords: Context-dependent; Ecosystem function; Interspecific interactions; Nutrient loading; Porifera; Productivity; Seagrass
TL;DR:
The results show that anthropogenic nutrient loading can shift the sponge-seagrass interaction away from commensalism toward an interaction that has negative consequences for the seagrassed, and provides an example of how simple classifications of interspecific interactions often mask underlying variability.

Quantitative patterns of vertical transmission of deformed wing virus in honey bees
PLOS ONE, 13(3).
MeSH headings : Animal Diseases / transmission; Animals; Bees / virology; Eggs / virology; Infectious Disease Transmission, Vertical; RNA Viruses / pathogenicity
TL;DR:
It is found that queen-infection level predicts the DWV titers in their eggs, although the transmission is not very efficient, and the combined results suggest that the queens’ DWV vectoring capacity in practice is not as high as its theoretical potential.

Homogenizing an urban habitat mosaic: arthropod diversity declines in New York City parks after Super Storm Sandy
ECOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS, 28(1), 225–236.
Contributors: A. Savage *, E. Youngsteadt n, A. Ernst*, S. Powers*, R. Dunn n & S. Frank n
author keywords: biotic homogenization; disturbance adapted; diversity; extreme weather; hurricane; New York City; Super Storm Sandy; tipping point; urban ecology
MeSH headings : Animals; Arthropods; Biodiversity; Cyclonic Storms; New York City; Parks, Recreational; Stress, Physiological; Urbanization
TL;DR:
The results suggest that the species that survive in high stress environments are likely to be the ones that thrive in response to acute disturbance, which may lead to diversity loss in cities, potentially leading entire urban landscapes to mirror the reduced diversity of street medians.
