Behavioral, Ecological, and Morphological Data Suggest a Close Relationship Between the Ant Colobopsis truncata and the Gall Wasp Aphelonyx cerricola

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Aphelonyx cerricola and the different stages that make this gall colonizable by ants. ABSTRACT Wasps of the family Cynipidae are known to induce galls of a species‐specific morphology, which during senescence provide a refuge for secondary insect fauna, especially ants.

Temperature interacts with jack pine host defences to influence the growth of mountain pine beetle‐associated fungi

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Optimal growing temperatures varied with mountain pine beetle‐associated fungal species. There was only a marginal impact of temperature on the response of fungi to defensive monoterpenes of novel host pine. Interspecific facilitation occurred for Leptiographuim longiclavatum when grown in Ophiostoma montium‐induced treatments at optimal temperatures ...

Trapped Atoms and Superradiance on an Integrated Nanophotonic Microring Circuit

Physical Review X
Interfacing cold atoms with integrated nanophotonic devices could offer new paradigms for engineering atom-light interactions and provide a potentially scalable route for quantum sensing, metrology, and quantum information processing. However, it remains

Host desiccation and interspecific competition limit reproductive performance of a bark beetle

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
At high and moderate phloem moisture levels, Polygraphus proximus reproductive success was suppressed by sympatric species density. At low phloem moisture, P. proximus reproductive success was suppressed by the low phloem moisture regardless of the Cryphalus laricis hole density. Conspecific density (i.e., attack density of P.

More Inspired, Less Anxious: Well‐Being Impacts of a Self‐Directed Art Museum Visit

Curator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increasingly, art museums are seen as places that can support human flourishing. We describe a quasi‐experimental investigation of the impacts of a self‐directed art museum visit on adults' subjective well‐being. Data were collected from 363 adults at three art museums in Seattle, WA.

Racialized and Sexualized Branding in Japan's Online Eikaiwa Industry: The Objectification of Female Eastern European Teachers

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines how an online eikaiwa (English conversation) provider in Japan that employs only female Eastern European (particularly Ukrainian) teachers brands them through objectification. Analysis of textual and visual elements of the provider's website and related media, including videos, demonstrates that the teachers are ...
