Direct, but not indirect, predation‐risk cues deter larval settlement in a scyphozoan jellyfish
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Predators can shape population dynamics before consumption occurs, with prey using chemical information to guide larval settlement. We show that jellyfish larvae (Aurelia coerulea) respond selectively to predation‐risk cues, reducing settlement in response to predator presence and active predation cues, but not to residual cues from previously preyed ...

PARTY‐STATE URBANISM: Coevolution of Local State Capacity and Strategic Alliances in Shenzhen
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract What is distinct about Chinese urban governance? Classic theories predict that when the central state retreats from resource allocation, capacity‐strained local governments must form alliances with non‐state actors, thereby diluting state power. In China, however, state power remains dominant despite decentralization.

Coevolution [Principles of evolution, ecology and behavior]
, 2014 Presents a lecture of Professor Stephen C. Stearns that talks about coevolution. There are coevolutions at various levels such as species, the most common, organelles, mitochondria and chloroplasts.The coevolution can be useful (symbiosis) or harmful ...

Brood parasitism reduces but does not prevent Bombus terrestris reproductive success
Insect Science, EarlyView.Graphical depiction of the colony splitting process. Throughout figures in this paper, results pertaining to host success are represented in blue, and cuckoo success is represented in red. Abstract Cuckoo bumblebees are obligate brood parasites that must invade a colony of their host bumblebee species in order to reproduce.

Host-parazite coevolution in aquatic environments [PDF]
, 2010 Antagonistic coevolution is a major driving force in the evolution of host and parasite. Parasites create on their host a time delay, negative frequency-dependent selection, which leads to oscillations in both genotypes of antagonists, as suggested by ...

Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species
Insect Science, EarlyView.Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.

Insect Science, EarlyView.This diagram illustrates that the horizontally transferred panBC influences the level and localization of vitellogenin (Vg) by facilitating pantothenate production and juvenile hormone (JH) biosynthesis. In turn, Vg shields symbionts by suppressing autophagic degradation in bacteriocytes.
