Brood parasitism reduces but does not prevent Bombus terrestris reproductive success
Insect Science, EarlyView.Graphical depiction of the colony splitting process. Throughout figures in this paper, results pertaining to host success are represented in blue, and cuckoo success is represented in red. Abstract Cuckoo bumblebees are obligate brood parasites that must invade a colony of their host bumblebee species in order to reproduce.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Ecological differences between species may result in differential impacts of control measures. Our experimental study showed that intensive removal of rodents from houses (mostly Rattus rattus) resulted in increased use of houses by Mastomys natalensis, a species usually found outdoors. Our results suggest that M.

Metabolome Diversity Enhances Resistance of Intertidal Clams to Thermal Stress
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Meretrix species are widely distributed intertidal bivalves in China with significant ecological and economic importance, which are sensitive to thermal stress. Our results showed that thermal environments of clam habitats shaped metabolome diversity, which can enhance the resistance of intertidal clams to thermal stress.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Bird diversity hot spots in a recovering subtropical forest do not align with protected area zoning, instead occurring in experimental zones with low‐intensity human activity. This mismatch is driven by contrasting responses: Abundant core species are supported by productivity, while many species of low frequency are attracted to the habitat ...

It's Complicated: How Sex, Family, and Season Affect Growth of a Sexually Size Dimorphic Spider
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Extreme female‐biased sexual size dimorphism (SSD) in Nephilingis cruentata emerges when male and female growth trajectories diverge mid‐development. Seasonal effects influence both sexes similarly, but family effects are strongly sex‐specific. These patterns identify a critical developmental window for mechanistic studies of SSD.

Data reconciliation in multi‐trait experiments with kinship ordination
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract A central aim in biology is understanding the heritability of traits and how trait interactions contribute to success in diverse environments. Experiments that record multiple traits from individuals of known pedigree or genetic relatedness in distinct environments are key to addressing this aim.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Accurate estimation of individual tree above‐ground biomass (AGB) and its component‐wise allocation is crucial for advancing ecological research and forest management. However, current biomass estimation methods, such as destructive sampling and allometric equation–based approaches, face limitations in both operational efficiency and cost ...
