title: Fragmentation mediates thermal habitat choice in ciliate microcosms

description: Habitat fragmentation is expected to reduce dispersal movements among
 patches as a result of increased inter-patch distances. Furthermore, since
 habitat fragmentation is expected to raise the costs of moving among
 patches in the landscape, it should hamper the ability or tendency of
 organisms to perform informed dispersal decisions. Here we used microcosms
 of the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila to test experimentally whether
 habitat fragmentation, manipulated through the length of corridors
 connecting patches differing in temperature, affects habitat choice. We
 showed that a two-fold increase of inter-patch distance can as expected
 hamper the ability of organisms to choose their habitat at immigration.
 Interestingly, it also increased their habitat choice at emigration,
 suggesting that organisms become choosier in their decision to either stay
 or leave their patch when obtaining information about neighbouring patches
 gets harder. This study points out that habitat fragmentation might affect
 not only dispersal rate but also the level of non-randomness of dispersal,
 with emigration and immigration decisions differently affected. These
 consequences of fragmentation might considerably modify ecological and
 evolutionary dynamics of populations facing environmental changes.

title: Local and landscape scale variables shape insect diversity in an urban biodiversity hotspot.

description: Local community structure is shaped by processes acting at local and
 landscape scales.  The relative importance of drivers operating
 across different spatial scales are difficult to test without observations
 across regional or latitudinal gradients.  Cities exhibit strong
 but predictable environmental gradients overlaying a mosaic of highly
 variable but repeated habitat types within a constrained area.
  Thus, cities present a unique opportunity to explore how both
 local and landscape factors influence local biotic communities.
  We used insect communities to examine the interactions among
 local environmental variables (such as temperature and relative humidity),
 local habitat characteristics (such as plant community composition), and
 broad-scale patterns of urbanization (including biophysical, human-built,
 and socio-economic variables) on local insect abundance, species richness,
 and species composition in Los Angeles, a hot, dry, near-desert
 city.  After accounting for seasonal trends, insect species
 richness and abundance were highest in drier and hotter sites, but the
 magnitude of local environmental effects varied with the degree of
 urbanization.  In contrast, insect species composition was best
 predicted by broad-scale urbanization trends, with the more native
 communities occurring in less urbanized sites and more cosmopolitan
 insects occurring in highly urbanized sites.  However, insect
 species richness and abundance were &gt;30% higher and insect
 composition was similar across sites that hosted either native or
 drought-tolerant plants, regardless of the degree of
 urbanization.  These results demonstrate that urban insect
 biodiversity is a product of interacting mechanisms working at both local
 and landscape scales.  However, local scale changes to urban
 habitats, such as cultivating plants that are adapted to the natural
 environment nearest the city, can positively impact urban biodiversity
 regardless of location.

title: Egg-size plasticity in Apis mellifera: honey bee queens alter egg size in response to both genetic and environmental factors

description: Social evolution has led to distinct life-history patterns in social
 insects, but many colony-level and individual traits, such as egg size,
 are not sufficiently understood. Thus, a series of experiments was
 performed to study the effects of genotypes, colony size, and colony
 nutrition on variation in egg size produced by honey bee (Apis mellifera)
 queens. Queens from different genetic stocks produced significantly
 different egg sizes under similar environmental conditions, indicating
 standing genetic variation for egg size that allows for adaptive
 evolutionary change. Further investigations revealed that eggs produced by
 queens in large colonies were consistently smaller than eggs produced in
 small colonies, and queens dynamically adjusted egg size in relation to
 colony size. Similarly, queens increased egg size in response to food
 deprivation. These results could not be solely explained by different
 numbers of eggs produced in the different circumstances but instead seem
 to reflect an active adjustment of resource allocation by the queen in
 response to colony conditions. As a result, larger eggs experienced higher
 subsequent survival than smaller eggs, suggesting that honey bee queens
 might increase egg size under unfavorable conditions to enhance brood
 survival, and to minimize costly brood care of eggs that fail to
 successfully develop, and thus conserve energy at the colony level. The
 extensive plasticity and genetic variation of egg size in honey bees has
 important implications for understanding life history evolution in a
 social context and implies this neglected life history stage in honey bees
 may have trans-generational effects.

title: Data from: The role of scratching in the control of ectoparasites on birds

description: Grooming by birds is thought to serve essential anti-parasite functions.
 While preening has been well studied, little is known about the function
 of scratching in birds. We conducted a series of experiments to determine
 the effectiveness of scratching for controlling feather lice (Columbicola
 columbae) on rock pigeons (Columba livia). First, we used a hobbling
 technique to impair scratching. After six months, hobbled birds had
 significantly more lice than controls that could scratch. In addition,
 lice on hobbled birds were concentrated on the birds’ heads and necks,
 i.e. the regions that birds scratch. Secondly, we tested the role the claw
 plays in scratching by declawing nestlings. Once mature, declawed pigeons
 had significantly more lice than control birds with claws. Moreover, lice
 on declawed birds were concentrated on the head and neck. Next, we tested
 whether the flange found on the middle claw of many bird species enhances
 scratching. We experimentally manipulated the flange; however, the number
 and location of lice on birds without flanges was not significantly
 different than that on control birds with intact flanges. Finally, we
 tested whether scratching removes parasites directly or indirectly by
 “flushing” them onto body regions where they can be preened. When we
 impaired scratching (with hobbles) and preening (with “bits”) we found
 that scratching no longer reduced the number of lice on birds. Our results
 indicated that scratching and preening work synergistically; scratching
 reduces parasite load by flushing lice onto regions of the body where they
 can be eliminated by preening.

title: Local recruitment in Northern Flickers is related to environmental factors at multiple scales and provides reproductive benefits to yearling breeders settling close to home

description: Natal dispersal and local recruitment are affected by factors both
 intrinsic and extrinsic to juveniles and may affect fitness. Understanding
 the relationship between dispersal and population density in birds has
 been hindered by a lack of long-term studies and a focus on resident
 species has neglected the role of weather operating at large spatial
 scales. I studied local recruitment and the reproductive consequences of
 natal dispersal distance within a population of Northern Flickers
 (Colaptes auratus), a migratory woodpecker. During a field study spanning
 16 years in British Columbia, 8272 fledglings were banded and 138 males
 and 105 females recruited locally. Average annual local recruitment rate
 for males (3.36%) was greater than for females (2.55%) and propensity to
 recruit locally was positively correlated with an early hatch date and
 high body condition. Annual local recruitment was not associated with
 population density in the year of hatch but was positively correlated with
 population density in the year of settlement. Local recruitment was also
 positively correlated with warmer springs during migration consistent with
 the phenology hypothesis. Among local recruits, natal dispersal distance
 was independent of the presence of parents and so dispersal was not a
 behavior to prevent inbreeding. However, settling closer to the natal site
 led to reproductive benefits in terms of earlier laying dates and better
 nest success. Therefore, juveniles may gain useful information about the
 location of nesting substrates, predation risk, and patchy food resources
 by exploring the landscape around their natal site during the
 post-fledging period and then settling in the familiar area after
 returning from migration.

title: Sexual selection on bushcricket genitalia operates in a mosaic pattern

description: In most species with internal fertilization, male genitalia evolve faster
 than other morphological structures. This holds true for genital
 titillators, which are used exclusively during mating in several
 bushcricket subfamilies. Several theories have been proposed for the
 sexual selection forces driving the evolution of internal genitalia,
 especially sperm competition, sexually antagonistic coevolution (SAC) and
 cryptic female choice (CFC). However, it is unclear whether the evolution
 of genitalia can be described with a single hypothesis or a combination of
 them. The study of species-specific genitalia action could contribute to
 the controversial debate about the underlying selective evolutionary
 forces. We studied female mating behaviors in response to experimentally
 modified titillators in a phylogenetically nested set of four bushcricket
 species: Roeseliana roeselii, Pholidoptera littoralis littoralis,
 Tettigonia viridissima (of the subfamily Tettigoniinae), and Letana
 inflata (Phaneropterinae). Bushcricket titillators have several potential
 functions; they stimulate females and suppress female resistance, ensure
 proper ampulla or spermatophore attachment and facilitate male fixation.
 In R. roeselii titillators stimulate females to accept copulations,
 supporting sexual selection by CFC. Conversely, titillator modification
 had no observable effect on the female’s behavior in T. viridissima. The
 titillators of Ph. l. littoralis mechanically support the mating position
 and the spermatophore transfer, pointing to sexual selection by SAC. Mixed
 support was found in L. inflata, where manipulation resulted in increased
 female resistance (evidence for CFC) and mating failures by reduced
 spermatophore transfer success (evidence for SAC). Sexual selection is
 highly species-specific with a mosaic support for either cryptic female
 choice or sexually antagonistic coevolution or a combination of both in
 the four species.
