Reconstruction of a Soil Microbial Network Induced by Stress Temperature by Dailin Yang, Hiromi Kato, Kazutaka Kawatsu, Yutaka Osada, Toyohiro Azuma, Yuji Nagata, Michio Kondoh

“…The anti-SGH pattern can be explained by the stronger competition caused by increased metabolic rate and population densities. IMPORTANCE By combining amplicon-based diversity survey with recently developed nonlinear analytical tools, we successfully determined the interaction networks of more than 150 natural soil microbial genera under less or more temperature stress and explored the applicability of the stress gradient hypothesis to soil microbiota, shedding new light on the well-known hypothesis.…”

Population Dynamics and Tree Damage of the Invasive Chestnut Gall Wasp, <i>Dryocosmus kuriphilus</i>, in Its Southernmost European Distributional Range by Javier Quinto, María Eva Wong, Juan Ramón Boyero, José Miguel Vela, Martin Aguirrebengoa

“…Specifically, warmer localities and vegetative periods promoted higher population densities, a partial increase in the survival of immature stages, and advanced flight activity. …”

Naturally Acquired Humoral Immunity against Malaria Parasites in Non-Human Primates from the Brazilian Amazon, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest by Eliana Ferreira Monteiro, Carmen Fernandez-Becerra, Maisa da Silva Araujo, Mariluce Rezende Messias, Luiz Shozo Ozaki, Ana Maria Ribeiro de Castro Duarte, Marina Galvão Bueno, Jose Luiz Catao-Dias, Carolina Romeiro Fernandes Chagas, Bruno da Silva Mathias, Mayra Gomes dos Santos, Stéfanie Vanessa Santos, Marcia Moreira Holcman, Julio Cesar de Souza, Karin Kirchgatter

“…A relatively higher number of reactive sera was found in animals from the Atlantic Forest than those from the Amazon region, possibly reflecting the former more intense parasite circulation among NHPs due to their proximity to humans at a higher populational density. The presence of <i>Plasmodium</i> positive NHPs in the surveyed areas, being therefore potential parasite reservoirs, needs to be considered in any malaria surveillance program.…”

A Review on the Prevalence of Poxvirus Disease in Free-Living and Captive Wild Birds by Richard A. J. Williams, Daniel A. Truchado, Laura Benitez

“…Morbidity and mortality can also be very high in captive birds, due to high population densities. However, despite the importance of the disease, the current detection rate of new <i>Avipoxvirus</i> strains suggests that diversity is incomplete for this group, and more research is needed to clarify its real extent, particularly in wild birds.…”

Measuring spatial accessibility of public libraries using floating catchment area methods: A comparative case study in Calhoun County, Florida by Samuel Takyi, Richard B. Antwi, Eren Erman Ozguven, Onur Alisan, Mahyar Ghorbanzadeh, Marcia Mardis, Faye Jones

“…The ones with higher population densities have lower accessibility to libraries which indicates that accessibility does not depend only on travel time as determined by other research works but also on the capacity of the service area. …”

Assessing the co-benefits of urban greening coupled with rainwater harvesting management under current and future climates across USA cities by Ziyan Zhang, Barnaby Dobson, Yiannis Moustakis, Naika Meili, Ana Mijic, Adrian Butler, Paschalis Athanasios

“…By incorporating a new RWH module into the urban ecohydrological model Urban Tethys-Chloris (UT&C), we tested different uses of intervention approaches for 28 cities in the USA, spanning a variety of climates, population densities, and urban landscapes. UT&C was forced by the latest generation convection-permitting climate model simulations of the current (2001–2011) and end-of-century (RCP8.5) climate. …”

The Sympatric Coexistence Mechanism: A Case Study of Two Penahia Species in the Beibu Gulf, South China Sea by Konglan Luo, Xiaodong Yang, Yan Zhou, Xiaoying Yi, Chunxu Zhao, Jinxi Wang, Xiongbo He, Yunrong Yan

“…The results show that specialized feeding habits mitigate intraspecific competition as the population densities increase. The carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis reveals variations in the feeding habits and trophic levels with body length, indicating adaptive shifts in prey selection. …”

Wild populations of Pacific oysters (Magallana gigas) emerge during the blob heatwave in south Puget Sound, Washington USA by Emma Lee Beck, Jennifer Ruesink, Stena Troyer, Michael Behrens, Michael Behrens

“…Throughout the study period, the number of oyster recruits each year was positively correlated with warmer water temperatures. Oyster population densities differed across the five sites where recruitment occurred and generally declined after 2015, but showed no site by year interactions, which is consistent with spatially-variable recruitment and similar post-recruitment survival. …”

Coexistence between Humans and ‘Misunderstood’ Domestic Cats in the Anthropocene: Exploring Behavioural Plasticity as a Gatekeeper of Evolution by Eugenia Natoli, Carla Litchfield, Dominique Pontier

“…We provide evidence that urban free-ranging domestic cats in the Anthropocene have responded to rapidly changing environments, such as abundance of food and higher population densities of conspecifics by adapting their behaviour (behavioural plasticity—the ability of a genotype (individual) to express different behaviours according to its environment) and social organisation to living in complex social groups, especially those living in colonies. …”

A Review of Two Decades of Conservation Efforts on Tigers, Co-Predators and Prey at the Junction of Three Global Biodiversity Hotspots in the Transboundary Far-Eastern Himalayan La... by Mriganka Shekhar Sarkar, Diana Ethel Amonge, Nawraj Pradhan, Hla Naing, Zhipang Huang, Mahendra Singh Lodhi

“…Habitat loss, ritual hunting, commercial exploitation, and poaching are the prevailing threats that have resulted in low tiger, co-predator, and prey population densities. Studies suggest that tiger presence is confined to a few areas, while other tiger populations have been extirpated across most parts of the landscape. …”
