Venus Flytrap Rarely Traps Its Pollinators
The American Naturalist, 191(4), 539–546.
author keywords: Venus flytrap; Dionaea muscipula; pollination ecology; pollinator-prey conflict; niche overlap
MeSH headings : Animals; Arachnida / physiology; Droseraceae / physiology; Insecta / physiology; Pollination
TL;DR:
Analysis of the Venus flytrap finds that certain bee and beetle species appear to be the most important pollinators, on the basis of their abundance, pollen load size, and pollen fidelity, within this diverse, generalized community.

Urbanization disrupts latitude-size rule in 17-year cicadas
ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 8(5), 2534–2541.
Contributors: D. Beasley n, C. Penick n, N. Boateng n, H. Menninger * & R. Dunn n
author keywords: Bergmann's rule; citizen science; fluctuating asymmetry; geometric morphometrics; periodical cicada; urban ecology
TL;DR:
This is the first evidence that urbanization disrupts biogeographical trends in body size, and this pattern highlights how the effects of urbanization may differ over a species’ range.

Thermal Tolerance and Survival of Nile Tilapia and Blue Tilapia under Rapid and Natural Temperature Declination Rates
TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY, 147(2), 278–286.
TL;DR:
The results suggest that selective breeding of white Nile Tilapia may have resulted in increased thermal tolerance during the process of developing this color variant, and the minimum lethal temperature of 8°C may explain why these tilapia species have been restricted to reservoirs with heated effluent in North Carolina.

Honey Bee Queens Do Not Count Mates to Assess their Mating Success
JOURNAL OF INSECT BEHAVIOR, 31(2), 200–209.
author keywords: Polyandry; mating systems; honey bee reproduction; paternity analysis; Apis mellifera
TL;DR:
It is found that neither additional weight nor restricted mating attempts had any significant effect on the effective mating frequencies of the experimental queens during their single mating flight, suggesting that queens are not adjusting their nuptial flight activity according to their precise mating number during their flight.

author keywords: Felis catus; Free-ranging domestic cats; Predators; Spatial capture-recapture; Stable isotopes; Trap-neuter-release
TL;DR:
Evidence is provided that cat groups within a population move different distances, exhibit different activity patterns, and that individuals consume wildlife at different rates, which all have implications for managing this invasive predator.

Cadmium disrupts signaling of the hypoxia-inducible (HIF) and transforming growth factor (TGF-beta) pathways in placental JEG-3 trophoblast cells via reactive oxygen species
TOXICOLOGY AND APPLIED PHARMACOLOGY, 342, 108–115.
Contributors: O. Adebambo n, D. Shea n & R. Fry *
author keywords: Reactive oxygen species; Hypoxia; Placentation; Growth factor; Gene expression; Cadmium
MeSH headings : Cadmium / toxicity; Cell Line, Tumor; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Female; Humans; Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1, alpha Subunit / antagonists & inhibitors; Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1, alpha Subunit / metabolism; Placenta / cytology; Placenta / drug effects; Placenta / metabolism; Pregnancy; Reactive Oxygen Species / metabolism; Signal Transduction / drug effects; Signal Transduction / physiology; Transforming Growth Factor beta / antagonists & inhibitors; Transforming Growth Factor beta / metabolism; Trophoblasts / drug effects; Trophoblasts / metabolism
TL;DR:
Treatment of placental trophoblast cells with Cd results in increased production of ROSs that disrupt placentation pathways involved in disease pathogenesis, and co‐occurrence of Cd with other toxic metals, particularly arsenic, may induce detrimental health effects that are currently underestimated when analyzed as single metals.

TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY, 147(1), 204–222.
TL;DR:
It is suggested that protection and restoration of river continuity, natural flow regimes, seasonally appropriate water temperatures, and geographic range expansion are critical components to include in Sicklefin Redhorse conservation planning.

Assessing the Influence of Tilapia on Sport Fish Species in North Carolina Reservoirs
TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY, 147(2), 350–362.
TL;DR:
Tilapia are exploiting trophic niches that are not used by the sport fishes of interest in these two very different reservoir systems and that their direct impact on sport species is not substantial.

Variation in range size and dispersal capabilities of microbial taxa
ECOLOGY, 99(2), 322–334.
Contributors: M. Choudoir *, A. Barberán *, H. Menninger n, R. Dunn n & N. Fierer *
author keywords: biogeography; dispersal; dust-associated microbes; geographic range size; microbial dispersal; microbiology
MeSH headings : Animals; Archaea; Bacteria / classification; Ecosystem; Plants
TL;DR:
Most microorganisms have small ranges and few have large ranges, a pattern similar to the range size distributions commonly observed for macrobes, which provides insight into the factors shaping patterns of microbial biogeography.

ROYAL SOCIETY OPEN SCIENCE, 5(2).
Contributors: C. Penick *, O. Halawani n, B. Pearson n, S. Mathews*, M. López-Uribe *, R. Dunn n , A. Smith n
author keywords: antimicrobial secretions; antibiotics; social immunity; social insects; ants; entomopathogens

This work quantifies the strength of antimicrobial secretions among 20 ant species that cover a broad spectrum of ant diversity and colony sizes and finds no correlation between antimicrobial activity and colony size.

Climate-mediated hybrid zone movement revealed with genomics, museum collection, and simulation modeling
PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 115(10), E2284–E2291.
MeSH headings : Animals; Breeding; Butterflies / genetics; Butterflies / physiology; Climate Change; Ecosystem; Female; Genetic Variation; Genomics; Geography; Hybridization, Genetic; Male; Models, Biological; Museums / statistics & numerical data
TL;DR:
Evidence is provided that climatic warming has caused a geographic shift of a butterfly hybrid zone and that strong selection and/or genetic incompatibilities maintain species boundaries during this movement, and that variation in the geography of hybrid zone movement could result in evolutionary responses that differ for geographically distinct populations spanning hybrid zones, and thus have implications for the conservation and management of genetic diversity.

Contaminants in tropical island streams and their biota
ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH, 161, 615–623.
author keywords: Fish; Pollution; Puerto Rico; River
MeSH headings : Animals; Biota; Environmental Monitoring; Humans; Islands; Pesticides / analysis; Polychlorinated Biphenyls / analysis; Puerto Rico; Rivers; Water Pollutants, Chemical / analysis
TL;DR:
The Bigmouth Sleeper Gobiomorous dormitor, an important piscivorus sport fish, accumulated low levels of organic contaminants in edible muscle tissue and may be most suitable for human consumption island‐wide; only mercury at one site (an urban location) exceeded EPA's consumption limit of 3 meals/month for this species.

The ecology of fish in the surf zones of ocean beaches: A global review
[Review of ]. FISH AND FISHERIES, 19(1), 78–89.
author keywords: coastal conservation; fish; fisheries; ocean beach; surf zone; urbanization
TL;DR:
The global literature on surf fish ecology is reviewed to better inform fisheries management and coastal conservation planning, suggesting that progress will be made by moving from largely descriptive studies to hypothesis-driven research, which is guided by contemporary ecological theory and adapts modern techniques from research in other ecosystems.

Mitigating effects of pollen during paraquat exposure on gene expression and pathogen prevalence in Apis mellifera L
ECOTOXICOLOGY, 27(1), 32–44.
author keywords: Apis mellifera; Oxidative stress; Paraquat; Pollen; Bee bread; Virus
MeSH headings : Animals; Antioxidants / metabolism; Bees / microbiology; Bees / physiology; Bees / virology; Gene Expression; Herbicides / toxicity; Nosema; Paraquat / toxicity; Pollen / metabolism
TL;DR:
A mitigating effect of pollen through the up-regulation of specific genes and improvement of survival of bees exposed to paraquat is demonstrated, demonstrating the importance of honey bees’ nutrition, especially the availability of pollen, on colony losses chronically reported in the USA and Europe.
