Two Metschnikowia nectar yeast species have similar volatile profiles but elicit differential foraging in bee pollinators

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Yeasts that specialize in flower nectar play an important role in pollination ecology. Metschnikowia reukaufii and Metschnikowia koreensis were the most prevalent nectar yeasts found in our field sites. Bee pollinators exhibited different behavioural responses to nectar yeasts in field experiments. Bees visited more flowers with M.

Balancing risk and opportunity: Nasute termite responses to predator and competitor chemical cues

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Nasutitermes corniger discriminates between heterospecific chemical cues during foraging, showing non‐random resource selection based on predator and competitor information. Predator chemical cues consistently reduce food resource selection, indicating avoidance driven by perceived predation risk rather than direct encounters.

When Similar Individuals Don't Attract: Absence of Assortative Mating by Coloration in a Damselfly With Honest Signaling

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
In Acanthagrion lancea damselflies, both sexes display blue ornamentation, but do they choose mates based on it? We tested whether mutual mate choice and time constraints influence ornament evolution. Blue coloration correlated with individual quality, but individuals did not choose mates based on color, and this was unaffected by time constraints over

Surgical excision of melanomas in the anal region and reconstruction of the anus in 11 horses

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary This case report describes the surgical excision of large perianal and perineal melanomas, and reconstruction of the anus in 11 grey horses. Four horses had a history of painful defaecation or urination due to extensive tumours. Seven horses had no clinical signs at the time of admission but had rapidly growing nodules around the anus with ...

Odorant Inhibition in Mosquito Olfaction. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
How chemical signals are integrated at the peripheral sensory system of insects is still an enigma. Here we show that when coexpressed with Orco in Xenopus oocytes, an odorant receptor from the southern house mosquito, CquiOR32, generated inward (regular)

Automating Ecological and Fisheries Modelling With Agentic AI

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fisheries modelling requires specialist training, but the availability of suitably skilled modellers is limiting delivery of science to inform management. Agentic AI can automate computing workflows and will increasingly be used in ecological modelling.
