The Weak Worker Hypothesis: a new framework for understanding division of labour in social insects
ABSTRACT In social species, group functions often benefit from variation among individual group members. Many highly integrated social insect colonies rely on division of labour among colony members and emergent properties of their collective behaviour and physiology. Response threshold models are a prominent proximate explanation of division of labour,

Vulnerability of marine megafauna to global at‐sea anthropogenic threats
Abstract Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened ...

Summary The occurrence of Aural Plaques (AP) in horses, attributed to infection with Equus caballus Papillomavirus (EcPV), has become increasingly prevalent in equine breeding populations. Major challenges in managing this condition include genetic susceptibility to the virus, significant variability in individual immune responses among horses and the ...

Nonefficient treatment for a mostly cosmetic problem?
Summary Aural plaques are a common condition but rarely need treatment. Diagnosis is usually straightforward by clinical examination. Differential diagnosis distinguishing aural plaques from sarcoid, if needed, is best achieved by PCR from surface samples or swabs. There is little evidence of any effect of autohaemotherapy.

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
