title: Control and distribution of glyphosate-resistant giant ragweed in Ontario: Windsor, LaSalle, and Amherstburg, Essex County, Ontario [Canada] 2011 and 2012
title: Control of glyphosate resistant giant ragweed in soybean with preplant herbicides; Control of glyphosate resistant giant ragweed in soybean with postermergence herbicides and 2,4-D dose response

description: This dataset is comprised of two surveys examining the control of glyphosate resistant giant ragweed in soybean with 1) preplant herbicides and 2) postemergence herbicides and 2,4-D dose response. The objective of the first survey was to determine effective control options for glyphosate resistant giant ragweed in soybean with herbicides applied preplant. Eighteen herbicide combinations were evaluated in field studies conducted in 2011 and 2012 at five locations with confirmed glyphosate resistant giant ragweed. The field sites were located near Windsor (L2 and L5), LaSalle (L1 and L4) and Amherstburg (L3), Essex County, Ontario. Two sets of experiments evaluating the effectiveness of glyphosate tankmixes with herbicides applied preplant were conducted. The first experiment (enhanced burndown) evaluated herbicides applied preplant (PP) that provided limited or no residual control. The second experiment (burndown plus residual) evaluated herbicides applied PP that provided burndown plus residual control. The second survey had two objectives; this first being to determine the efficacy of all the currently registered postemergence broadleaf herbicides registered for use in Ontario in soybean and the second objective was to determine the lowest effective rate of 2,4-D tank mixed with glyphosate and applied as a preplant burndown for control of glyphosate-resistant giant ragweed in soybean. Field studies were conducted in 2011 and 2012 at six locations for the postemergence broadleaf herbicide experiment and five locations for the 2,4-D dose response experiment with confirmed glyphosate resistant giant ragweed. The field sites were located near Windsor (L2 and L5), LaSalle (L1, L4 and L6) and Amherstburg (L3), Essex County, Ontario. The first series of experiments evaluated the effectiveness of ten postemergence broadleaf herbicide combinations. The second series of experiments, referred to as “dose response” evaluated the biologically effective rate of seven rates of 2,4-D.

title: A meta-analytical review of the effects of elevated CO2 on plant-anthropod interactions highlights the importance of interacting environmental and biological variables
title: Herbivore and plant responses to elevated CO2

description: An extensive meta-analysis of plant and animal responses to elevated CO2 was conducted. Over 5000 data points were extracted from 270 papers published between 1979 and 2009. These metadata were extracted from an exhaustive review and collection of relevant literature and attempted to synthesize and examine generalizations about herbivore response to CO2 across the literature. This study addressed the responses of insect herbivores to elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) across numerous insect orders and feeding guilds. The changes in 19 animal response variables to the main effect of elevated CO2 was examined. The study also addressed underlying plant mechanisms by quantifying those plant growth and metabolite responses most relevant to insect herbivory and examined how such responses were altered by numerous biotic and abiotic factors. Examined were the main effects of elevated CO2 on: six plant growth and allocation responses, seven primary metabolite responses, eight secondary metabolite responses, and four physical defense responses. These response variable changes were examined under two-way and three-way interactions between CO2 and: soil nitrogen, ambient temperature, drought, light availability, photosynthetic pathway, reproductive system, plant growth rate, plant growth form, tissue type, and nitrogen fixation.

title: Glyphosate-resistant giant ragweed (Ambrosia trifida L.) control with preplant herbicides in soybean (Glycine max L.); Glyphosate-resistant giant ragweed (Ambrosia trifida L.) in Ontario: Dose response and control with postemergence herbicides.

description: This dataset is comprised of two surveys examining the control of glyphosate resistant giant ragweed (Ambrosia trifida) in soybean (Glycine max) with 1) preplant herbicides and 2) postemergence herbicides. The objective of the first survey was to evaluate the efficacy of various preplant herbicides for the control of glyphosate-resistant giant ragweed under field conditions in Ontario. A total of 11 field experiments were established on Ontario farms with glyphosate-resistant giant ragweed over a two-year period (2010 and 2011). One set of experiments evaluated herbicides with limited residual activity (enhanced burndown), and a second set of experiments evaluated glyphosate tank mixes with residual herbicides for full season control (burndown plus residual). In 2010, there was one enhanced burndown and one burndown plus residual trial at a location near Windsor (L1). In 2011, there were four enhanced burndown and five burndown plus residual trials at locations near Windsor (L2 and L3), Belle River (L4), LaSalle (L5) and Amherstburg (L6). The objective of the postemergence survey was to determine the level of resistance to glyphosate in different giant ragweed populations, and evaluate the efficacy of various postemergence herbicides for the control of glyphosate-resistant giant ragweed in soybean under field conditions in Ontario. A total of ten field experiments were established on Ontario farms with glyphosate-resistant giant ragweed in 2011. One set of experiments evaluated the response of giant ragweed to varying doses of glyphosate (field dose response), and another set evaluated various herbicides registered for postemergence application in soybean. The experiments were conducted at locations near Windsor (L1 and L2), Belle River (L3), LaSalle (L4) and Amherstburg (L5).

title: Potential for northward expansion of the American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis, Say) range under climate change in North America

description: We developed a species distribution model for the American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis) using Maxent software, with the purpose of estimating the tick's potential distribution under climate change. To develop the model, we used environmental data from 10 climate models, four climate change scenarios (representative concentration pathways 2.6, 4.5, 6.0, and 8.5) and two future years (2050 and 2070), and tick occurrence data (presence-only) from museum and laboratory archives. The baseline climate and occurrence data covers the time period of 1950 to 2015. The future climate data covers the time periods 2041 to 2060 and 2061 to 2080. Collection of occurrence data was conducted in the summer and fall of 2015 and collection of environmental data occurred in December 2014.

description: We assessed the responses of photosynthetic traits of native and invasive C3 and C4 grasses to atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. We used three levels of CO2 (390, 700, and 1000 ppm) in a closed chamber experiment and tested 16 grass species (eight C3 plants and eight C4) classified as noninvasive or invasive. We tested the hypotheses that invasive species would be more productive under elevated CO2 and that the strongest responses would be seen in C3 plants.

title: Juvenile rough-and-tumble play predicts adult sexual behavior in American mink

description: The existence of play, a form of behaviour without obvious benefits to survival or reproduction, is a long-standing ethological mystery. Experiments in which socially deprived juvenile male mammals develop into sexually incompetent adults, along with widespread sexual dimorphism in rough-and-tumble play (R and T), suggest that R and T may prepare juvenile males for adult sexual behaviour. To test this hypothesis, we conducted a longitudinal study of American mink (Neovison vison) on two farms, w
ith two cohorts each. For males (n = 121), we predicted that individuals with the highest frequencies of rough-and-tumble play as juveniles (10-20 weeks old) would, as adults, show shorter latencies to bite females' necks and to begin copulating, and copulate for longer durations. On one farm, we conducted a pilot study of females (n = 10) as a preliminary test of the hypothesis that R and T also prepares females for adult sexual behaviour. Here, our predictions were the opposite of those for males, since abilities to limit the number or duration of copulations could allow females to exercise pre- or post-copulatory mate choice. In total, we observed 1669 male-female encounters, and 1004 separate copulations. As predicted, frequent juvenile R and T predicted long-lasting copulations in adult males, and also longer latencies to copulate in adult females. This was true specifically of rough-and-tumble play itself, independently of general activity levels and, among a subset of 32 males reared in environmentally enriched housing, also independently of solitary object play. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration that juvenile rough-and-tumble play predicts adult sexual behaviour in any species. Further research is required to test whether our female results can be replicated, and, importantly, to determine whether play truly has a causal role in either of these correlational relationships.

title: Winter warming effects on overwinter survival, energy use, and spring emergence of the bean leaf beetle Cerotoma trifurcata 2010 to 2013 [South-central Ontario, Canada]

description: The potential effects of warmer winters and fluctuating thermal regimes on overwintering bean leaf beetle (Cerotoma trifurcata) using field and laboratory experiments was assessed. The 3 year (Winter of 2010-2011, 2011-2012, and 2012-2013) field experiment involved three warming levels: heated ~4 degrees Celsius above ambient, unheated with snow cover left intact, and unheated with snow cover removed. Survival and date of emergence were examined in all years, and beetle lipid content was analyzed in one year to determine rates of energy use. The laboratory experiment assessed effects of frequency and duration of fluctuating thermal regimes on survival.
