Can mammals thrive near urban areas in the Neotropics? Characterizing the community of a reclaimed tropical forest
TROPICAL ECOLOGY, 62(2), 174–185.
author keywords: Camera traps; Neotropical forest; Occupancy modelling; Secondary forest; Suriname; Urbanization
TL;DR:
Despite fewer species being detected than in large protected areas, the presence of some species in Peperpot Nature Park shows promise for small urban tropical forests to support robust mammal communities, provided they maintain some connectivity to larger source habitats.

Trade-offs between sperm viability and immune protein expression in honey bee queens (Apis mellifera)
COMMUNICATIONS BIOLOGY, 4(1).
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees / immunology; Bees / metabolism; Bees / virology; Cell Survival; Female; Insect Proteins / metabolism; Male; Proteome; Reproduction; Serpins / metabolism; Spermatozoa
TL;DR:
Quality metrics and viral loads of honey bee queens from nine genetic sources are surveyed and it is found that lower measures of fertility correlated with high levels of the immune effector lysozyme, consistent with a trade-off between immunity and fertility.

Methods of domestic striped bass (Morone saxatilis) spawning that do not require the use of any hormone induction
AQUACULTURE, 533.
author keywords: Batch spawning; Genotyping; Aquaculture
TL;DR:
The findings described are the first report of multiple striped bass successfully batch spawning in captivity without exogenous hormone administration, and indicate that an approximately 1:1 ratio of female to male striped bass in a single batch spawning unit is more favorable for production.

The diversity and function of sourdough starter microbiomes
ELIFE, 10.
MeSH headings : Acetic Acid / metabolism; Bacteria / metabolism; Bread / microbiology; Food Microbiology; Microbiota

Volitional tank spawning of domestic striped bass (Morone saxatilis) using human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and gonadotropin releasing hormone analogue (GnRHa)- induced 'pace-setting' females
AQUACULTURE, 532.
author keywords: Striped bass; Spawning; Genotyping; Aquaculture; Hormone; Induction
TL;DR:
The results of these trials show for the first time that a hormone-induced female striped bass can be used to stimulate successful volitional spawning of an untreated female in the same tank with fry/kg female body weight production similar to that of hormone-treated fish.

Colony-level pesticide exposure affects honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) royal jelly production and nutritional composition
CHEMOSPHERE, 263.
author keywords: Queen developmental nutrition; Pesticides; Royal jelly; Proteins; Phytosterols; Metabolites
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees; Fatty Acids; Larva; Pesticides; Pollen
TL;DR:
Pesticide treatment had a greater impact on royal jelly nutritional composition than the weight of royal jelly provisioned per queen cell, highlighting the indirect effects of pesticide exposure on queen developmental nutrition and allude to social consequences of nurse bee glandular degeneration.

Beyond species counts for assessing, valuing, and conserving biodiversity: response to Wallach et al. 2019
Meyer, N. F. V., Balkenhol, N., Dutta, T., Hofman, M., Meyer, J.-Y., Ritchie, E. G., … Hayward, M. W. (2021, February). CONSERVATION BIOLOGY, Vol. 35, pp. 369–372.
MeSH headings : Biodiversity; Conservation of Natural Resources
TL;DR:
This paper presents a meta-anatomy of the response of the immune system to E. V. Meyer’s Tournaisian virus, a type of diarrhoea which can be fatal to both the nervous system and the immune systems of animals and humans.

The influence of floral resources and microclimate on pollinator visitation in an agro-ecosystem
AGRICULTURE ECOSYSTEMS & ENVIRONMENT, 307.
author keywords: Coffea arabica; Coffea canephora; Floral diversity; Shade; Temperature; Wind
TL;DR:
It was found that high nectar sugar concentration and temperature were important predictors of short floral visits to bees and the presence of other bees affected the amount of time bees spent foraging on coffee flowers and the proportion of coffee pollen carried on their bodies.

Effect of microplastics on ecosystem functioning: Microbial nitrogen removal mediated by benthic invertebrates
SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 754.
author keywords: Microplastics; Nitrogen removal function; Denitrification; Anammox; Chironomids; Microorganisms
MeSH headings : Animals; Denitrification; Ecosystem; Invertebrates; Microplastics; Nitrogen; Plastics / toxicity; Water Pollutants, Chemical / analysis; Water Pollutants, Chemical / toxicity
TL;DR:
The increasing concentration of microplastics entangled the nitrogen cycling mediated by benthic invertebrates in freshwater ecosystems, indicating an adverse effect on microbial nitrogen removal mediated by macroinvertebrates.

Optimum lionfish yield: a non-traditional management concept for invasive lionfish (Pterois spp.) fisheries
BIOLOGICAL INVASIONS, 23(3), 795–810.
author keywords: Age structure; Belize; Fishery management; Invasive species; Maximum sustainable yield; Optimum lionfish yield; Population model
TL;DR:
The model indicates that lionfish in Belize are biologically robust to fishing pressure, which corroborates previous findings and support continued establishment of (managed) commercial lionfish fisheries throughout the invaded range to provide an alternative sustainable fishery resource and serve as a means of national- and international-level control.

MeSH headings : Climate Change; Florida; Lightning; Seasons; Southeastern United States
TL;DR:
Using historical weather station observations scaled to 21 climate divisions, F19 reported significantly increasing DSLs in all but one climate division, and an astonishing 156-day trend increase in DSL in Texas.

Increasing browse and social complexity can improve zoo elephant welfare
ZOO BIOLOGY, 40(1), 9–19.
author keywords: behavior; diet; ex situ; Loxodonta africana; management; social
MeSH headings : Animal Feed / analysis; Animal Husbandry / methods; Animal Welfare; Animals; Animals, Zoo / physiology; Appetitive Behavior; Behavior, Animal; Diet / veterinary; Elephants / physiology; Female; Male; Social Behavior
TL;DR:
It is found that increasing browse can improve opportunities for foraging throughout the day but may not be sufficient to reduce repetitive behaviors, and increasing group size and integration of bulls with cows can lead to increased social interaction in African elephants.

Prenatal air pollution influences neurodevelopment and behavior in autism spectrum disorder by modulating mitochondrial physiology
MOLECULAR PSYCHIATRY, 26(5), 1561–1577.
MeSH headings : Air Pollutants / adverse effects; Air Pollutants / analysis; Air Pollution / adverse effects; Autism Spectrum Disorder; Child; Female; Humans; Leukocytes, Mononuclear; Male; Maternal Exposure; Mitochondria; Pregnancy; Prenatal Exposure Delayed Effects
TL;DR:
The results suggest that prenatal exposure to PM2.5 disrupts neurodevelopment and behavior through complex mechanisms, including long-term changes in mitochondrial respiration and that patterns of early development need to be considered when studying the influence of environmental agents on neurodevelopmental outcomes.

TL;DR:
The Weather Research and Forecasting model and a combination of the Regional Spectral Model (RSM) and the Japanese Meteorological Agency Non-Hydrostatic Model (NHM) were used to dynamically downscale selected CMIP5 global climate models to provide 2-km projections with hourly model output for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
