Alternative life-histories in a socially polymorphic ant [PDF]
, 2018 Social organisms vary greatly in the number of breeders per group; yet, the causes and consequences of this variation remain poorly known. Here, we show that variation in social structure is tightly linked with changes in several fundamental life-history

Genetic and genomic monitoring with minimally invasive sampling methods [PDF]
, 2017 Funding: Marie Slodowska Curie Fellowship, (Behaviour-Connect) funded by the EU Horizon2020 program (ELC).The decreasing cost and increasing scope and power of emerging genomic technologies are reshaping the field of molecular ecology.

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract This article engages signage as a medium through which urban stakeholders negotiate the politics of housing redevelopment and gentrification in cities. Focusing on Toronto, we examine housing‐related signage in three neighbourhoods where social mix approaches to redevelopment have ushered in gentrification: Parkdale, Regent Park, and Moss Park.

Breeding system and reproductive skew in a highly polygynous ant population [PDF]
, 2018 .: Factors affecting relatedness among nest members in ant colonies with high queen number are still poorly understood. In order to identify the major determinants of nest kin structure, we conducted a detailed analysis of the breeding system of the ant ...

Assessing differences among elasmobranch nurseries to aid conservation based on a genomics framework
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Elasmobranch nurseries often differ in environmental conditions, demographics, and use patterns. These differences affect the distribution of genetic variation among nurseries. However, conservation and management strategies often fail to account for such differences because they are difficult to characterize.

Population connectivity: dam migration mitigations and contemporary site fidelity in arctic char [PDF]
, 2011 BACKGROUND: Animal feeding and spawning migrations may be limited by physical barriers and behavioral interactions. Dam constructions (e.g. hydropower) commonly include gateways for fish migrations to sustain ecological connectivity.

UNWARRANTED CONFIDENCE: A CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE POVERTY OF ANTI‐REALISM
History and Theory, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Poverty of Anti‐Realism: Critical Perspectives on Postmodernist Philosophy of History, edited by Tor Egil Førland and Branko Mitrović, celebrates the new dawn of historical realism, which it claims supersedes the erroneous and harmful anti‐realism.

Deep Sea – Close Kin: A Genetic Approach for Improved Fisheries Management [PDF]
, 2015 Deep-sea fish stocks consist of species that live at depths of greater than 400 metres. While being important for EU fisheries, this natural renewable resource is particularly vulnerable to over-fishing, as many deep sea species are slow-growing and ...

Ibis, EarlyView.Fine‐scale genetic structure in animal populations can create opportunities for both kin‐directed co‐operation and kin competition. Knowledge of kinship is therefore key to understanding the selective pressures shaping sociality as well as the effects of social behaviour on local genetic structure.

Surprisingly Little Population Genetic Structure In A Fungus-Associated Beetle Despite Its Exploitation Of Multiple Hosts [PDF]
, 2013 In heterogeneous environments, landscape features directly affect the structure of genetic variation among populations by functioning as barriers to gene flow.
