From leaves to defenders: How the amount and dispersion of leaf damage affect extrafloral nectar production and ant‐mediated protection in wild cotton

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Extrafloral nectar mediates interactions among plants, ants and herbivores; its contingency on damage amount and within‐plant uniformity is poorly understood. Here, we explore these factors in wild cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). Herbivory amount drove increases in extrafloral nectar induction per nectary, whereas within‐plant variability in damage ...

Glia Regulate the Timing of Photoreceptor Differentiation in the Drosophila Visual System. [PDF]

open access: yesGlia
Activation of EGFR signaling in sub‐retinal glia is required for timing photoreceptor differentiation in the Drosophila visual system. ILP3 and ILP6 are downstream targets of the EGFR pathway in sub‐retinal glia, which activate insulin signaling in photoreceptor precursor cells in the developing retina.

Visual Cues Can Alter the Behavioural Responses of Dragonfly Larvae to Chemical Alarm Cues

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
Using a controlled experimental approach, we examined how chemical and visual cues influence antipredator behaviour in Aeshna cyanea larvae and tested whether risk‐related information can be socially transmitted among nearby conspecifics. Our results show that dragonfly larvae do not copy the antipredator responses of others, but visual cues alter how ...

Long‐Term Trends in Juvenile Blue Crab Recruitment Patterns in a Wind‐Driven Estuary

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conserving exploited marine species requires understanding population dynamics across life stages and habitats. This study analyzes juvenile blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) recruitment trends in North Carolina's Albemarle‐Pamlico Estuarine System.
