Spillover dynamics and asynchronous temporal fluctuations in host density and competence drive fungal parasite persistence in multi‐host, seasonal communities

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
In this study, the authors develop a new model to show that species contributions to parasite persistence can have strong, asynchronous temporal variability, often limiting the effectiveness of targeted seasonal parasite control. The model is broadly applicable for partitioning who, when, and what drive parasite persistence in multi‐host seasonal ...

Masculinity, Prostitution, and the Imaginary Northwest in Chinese Travel Writings About Shanxi and Western Inner Mongolia, 1920–1949

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article considers travel writings by metropolitan men in Republican China about Shanxi and western Inner Mongolia as a case study to further explore the transformations and continuities of Chinese masculinities. Drawing upon a range of popular travel narratives, it shows that so‐called “Worn‐Out Shoes (poxie)” – women perceived as ...

Humble beginnings of the Australian giant wood moth (Endoxyla cinereus): A century‐old mystery solved

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The Australian giant wood moth (Endoxyla cinereus) feeds within the galls of scale insects (Apiomorpha) before transitioning into its wood‐boring eucalypt larval phase. This transitionary phase may be key to its multi‐year development, at the end of which it can produce over 100 000 eggs.

The Evolution of Male Weapons Is Associated with the Type of Breeding Site in a Clade of Neotropical Frogs

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Male weaponry evolution is often linked to male–male competition, but its relationship with breeding site type remains unclear. Using Leptodactylinae frogs, we found a macroevolutionary correlation between breeding site type and weapon evolution. Also, gains and losses of weapons occurred more frequently in exposed‐breeding sites, an unexpected finding.
