Finding Minimum‐Cost Explanations for Predictions Made by Tree Ensembles
Software: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The ability to reliably explain why a machine learning model arrives at a particular prediction is crucial when used as decision support by human operators of critical systems. The provided explanations must be provably correct, and preferably without redundant information, called minimal explanations.

Species‐specific scents, targeted enemies: Volatile cues mediate predator attraction in willows
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in response to herbivory. Such signals mediate plant interactions with herbivores and their natural enemies. Different herbivores can elicit distinct responses in plants, influencing predator attraction.

Generation cycles in experimental populations of a multivoltine insect
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Although theory suggests various mechanisms by which environmental and ecological factors may drive generational fluctuations, our field‐cage experiment is the first to demonstrate how internal dynamics and external disturbances jointly produce synchronised, large‐scale outbreak cycles.

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Natural Biological Control of Diaphania spp. (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) by Social Wasps
Sociobiology, 2014 The social wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) are important agents of biological control for agricultural pests. Diaphania hyalinata L. and Diaphania nitidalis Cramer (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) are among the main pests of plants in the Cucurbitaceae family ...
