2017 review

Do Tick Attachment Times Vary between Different Tick-Pathogen Systems?

[Review of ]. ENVIRONMENTS, 4(2).

By: S. Richards *, R. Langley n, C. Apperson n & E. Watson *

author keywords: duration of tick attachment; tick-borne disease; tick; transmission dynamics

Identification of Teosinte Alleles for Resistance to Southern Leaf Blight in Near Isogenic Maize Lines

Crop Science, 57(4), 1973–1983.

By: J. Lennon n, M. Krakowsky n, M. Goodman n, S. Flint‐Garcia * & P. Balint‐Kurti  n

Contributors: J. Lennon n, M. Krakowsky n, M. Goodman n, S. Flint-Garcia * & P. Balint-Kurti n

Managing native predators: Evidence from a partial removal of raccoons (Procyon lotor) on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, USA

Waterbirds, 40, 10–18.

By: J. Stocking*, T. Simons*, A. Parsons* & A. O'Connell*

TL;DR: Either the raccoon reduction was inadequate, or factors other than predation cause more variation in nest success than previously recognized, which means a multi-faceted approach to management aimed at reducing nest losses to storm overwash, predation, and human disturbance is likely to yield the largest population level benefits.
