Reduced predation risk for melanistic pygmy grasshoppers in post-fire environments
Ecology and Evolution, 2012 The existence of melanistic (black) color forms in many species represents interesting model systems that have played important roles for our understanding of selective processes, evolution of adaptations, and the maintenance of variation. A recent study

Rethinking Face‐to‐Face Interaction: Lessons from Studies of “Autistic Sociality”
Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.Face‐to‐face interaction is a foundational concept in microsociology. This article surveys the social experiences of autistic people, who are commonly known for having a strained relationship with interactions face to face. By interpretively reviewing and synthesizing the broader literature on “autistic sociality,” the article provides a nuanced ...

IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.As distributed energy resources (DERs) penetration increases, complex power flows lead to challenges such as voltage violations, system congestion, and increase of distribution loss. To effectively address these issues and enhance energy efficiency, an hourly dynamic system configuration optimization method is essential, as traditional annual and ...

Assessing habitat suitability for black grouse broods at the bioregional scale
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The black grouse Lyrurus tetrix, a galliform species emblematic of the European Alps, is currently threatened by habitat change, particularly given the closure of heathland linked to the rising tree line at higher altitudes. The presence of heathlands in good ecological condition is, however, imperative for the species' reproduction.

Ferocious Fighting between Male Grasshoppers
PLoS ONE, 2012 Contests among individuals over mating opportunities are common across diverse taxa, yet physical conflict is relatively rare. Due to the potentially fatal consequences of physical fighting, most animals employ mechanisms of conflict resolution involving

Cicada as a food for mammals: a global review and implications for mammal behaviour and populations
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are among the most important insect prey for many vertebrate predators, including birds and mammals, owing to their large size and high nutritional value. Although the ecological roles of cicadas as prey for birds have been well documented, the interactions between mammals and cicadas are relatively unknown.
