Evolution of social behaviour in the primitively eusocial wasp Ropalidia marginata: do we need to look beyond kin selection?

Gadagkar R1.
Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences.Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci.2016 Feb 5;371(1687). pii: 20150094. doi: 10.1098/rstb.2015.0094.
Ropalidia marginata is a primitively eusocial wasp widely distributed in peninsular India. Although solitary females found a small proportion of nests, the vast majority of new nests are founded by small groups of females. In such multiple foundress nests, a single dominant female functions as the q

A succession of theories: purging redundancy from disturbance theory.

Pulsford SA1, Lindenmayer DB1, Driscoll DA1.
Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society.Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc.2016 Feb;91(1):148-67. doi: 10.1111/brv.12163. Epub 2014 Nov 26.
The topics of succession and post-disturbance ecosystem recovery have a long and convoluted history. There is extensive redundancy within this body of theory, which has resulted in confusion, and the links among theories have not been adequately drawn. This review aims to distil the unique ideas fro

Response to shock load of engineered nanoparticles in an activated sludge treatment system: Insight into microbial community succession.

Zhang J1, Dong Q2, Liu Y2, Zhou X3, Shi H2.
Chemosphere.Chemosphere.2016 Feb;144:1837-44. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2015.10.084. Epub 2015 Nov 11.
The environmental impacts of the use of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) remain unclear and have attracted increasing concern worldwide. Considering that NPs eventually end up in wastewater treatment systems, the potential impact of ZnO and TiO2 NPs on the activated sludge was investigated using labor

Temporal changes of antibiotic-resistance genes and bacterial communities in two contrasting soils treated with cattle manure.

Hu HW1, Han XM1, Shi XZ1, Wang JT2, Han LL2, Chen D1, He JZ3.
FEMS microbiology ecology.FEMS Microbiol Ecol.2016 Feb;92(2). pii: fiv169. doi: 10.1093/femsec/fiv169. Epub 2015 Dec 27.
The emerging environmental spread of antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) and their subsequent acquisition by clinically relevant microorganisms is a major threat to public health. Animal manure has been recognized as an important reservoir of ARGs; however, the dissemination of manure-derived ARGs an
