The effect of caste, mass and colony identity on rescue priorities in the red imported fire ant
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Fire ants will rescue brood when the brood becomes trapped underground. We find that rescuers may use odor cues to locate trapped rescue targets. We demonstrate that a single reproductive larva is preferentially rescued over a single worker larva, but that caches of multiple worker larvae receive equal treatment as a single reproductive larva.

An Argument for Minimalism about Action
European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract Minimalism is the view that the mark of action is object‐causation, rather than intentionality, voluntariness or goal‐directedness. Actions, on this view, are instances of objects causing change. Despite a recent surge of interest in the view, it is still seldom regarded as a serious alternative to orthodox theories of action, according to ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Forest degradation increased termite‐mediated litter decomposition, whereas no such effect was detected in undisturbed forests. Reduced ant predation and altered forest conditions were associated with higher termite abundance and faster litter decomposition.

Induced Volatile Chemistry and Arthropod Predation Across a Tree Diversity Gradient
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plant volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play a key role in defence against herbivores and in mediating multitrophic interactions. Yet, how surrounding plant diversity modulates these responses in forest trees remains poorly understood. We examined the effects of tree species richness on induced VOC emissions and arthropod predation in Quercus ...

The Grammar of Perception: A Case Study of Guambiano (Namtrik) and Duna
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Although the senses provide a common basis for our experience of the world, cross‐linguistic research has revealed substantial diversity across languages in how perceptual experiences are encoded in words. Such variability is also present at the level of grammatical structure, though the project of charting the parameters and limits of cross ...
