Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species
Insect Science, EarlyView.Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.

Ants contribute to raspberry pollination in protected cropping systems
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Ants visited raspberry flowers more frequently than European honey bees (Apis mellifera), Australian stingless bees (Tetragonula carbonaria) and flies, many transporting raspberry pollen on their bodies, indicating potential pollination capacity. Ants were active flower visitors at most times of the day and may extend the daily pollination window and ...

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract During the global economic crisis of 1929–33, deposits in the Dutch commercial banking sector sharply declined as funds shifted to the government‐guaranteed Post Office Savings Bank and other savings institutions. Unlike earlier studies for neighbouring countries, we demonstrate that this shift was driven less by a flight to safety and more by

First passage and first hitting times of Lévy flights and Lévy walks
New Journal of Physics, 2019 For both Lévy flight and Lévy walk search processes we analyse the full distribution of first-passage and first-hitting (or first-arrival) times. These are, respectively, the times when the particle moves across a point at some given distance from its ...
