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 ...

Relative detectability of Canadian plant species at risk in field surveys
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Accurate detection is essential for estimating plant populations and ranges, yet many at‐risk plant species in Canada remain under‐studied in this regard. To address this, we ranked 199 at‐risk vascular plants by relative detectability based on traits like life cycle, habitat, and flower color, finding that perennial species, those with conspicuous ...

Towards Resolving the Complete Fern Tree of Life
PLoS ONE, 2011 In the past two decades, molecular systematic studies have revolutionized our understanding of the evolutionary history of ferns. The availability of large molecular data sets together with efficient computer algorithms, now enables us to reconstruct evolutionary histories with previously unseen completeness. Here, the most comprehensive fern phylogeny

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract The 1430s were characterized by extreme weather conditions, food and fodder shortages, and high mortalities among animals and humans, although the severity of events and their consequences in England have received limited attention. The economic downturn and the depressed customary land market in this decade marked the beginning of the Great ...

Fix Thyself: Un/Doing Confidence in Women's Entrepreneurship
Gender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Are women at work really lacking confidence? Recent books and videos addressing women's presumed lack of confidence suggest that women can achieve success if they work on their confidence. This is also true for women entrepreneurs, who are regularly encouraged to be more confident than they appear to be.

Ibis, EarlyView.Human‐induced environmental change is reshaping plant communities, requiring native animals to adapt their foraging behaviour to track and exploit novel food resources. Trees such as pines (Pinus spp.) introduced for plantation forestry outside of their native ranges often become naturalized.
