Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic interactions between soil animals and microorganisms in upland grassland soils amended with sheep dung: a microcosm experiment.
TL;DR: It was found that the presence of nematodes and Collembola was associated with significant impacts on microbial biomass and activity in two contrasting upland grassland soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Evolution of Primary Sexual Characters in Animals, Janet L. Leonard, Alex Cordoba-Aguilar (Eds.). Oxford University Press, Oxford (2010), Pp. ix+537. Price £50 hardback
Journal ArticleDOI
Are neonicotinoid insecticides driving declines of widespread butterflies
Andre S. Gilburn,Nils Bunnefeld,John McVean Wilson,Marc S. Botham,Tom Brereton,Richard Fox,Dave Goulson +6 more
TL;DR: Build models of the UK population indices from 1985 to 2012 for 17 widespread butterfly species that commonly occur at farmland sites to show whether there is a causal link between neonicotinoid usage and the decline of widespread butterflies or whether it simply represents a proxy for other environmental factors associated with intensive agriculture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Choosing rewarding flowers; perceptual limitations and innate preferences influence decision making in bumblebees and honeybees
David Goulson,Jemma L. Cruise,Kate R. Sparrow,Adele J. Harris,Kirsty J. Park,Matthew C. Tinsley,Andre S. Gilburn +6 more
TL;DR: Overall, the results demonstrate that bees use obvious floral cues at long-range, but can switch to using more subtle cues (robbing holes) at close range, as well as making many mistakes and some cues used do not correlate with floral rewards.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual selection as a side-effect of sexual conflict in the seaweed fly, Coelopa ursina (Diptera: Coelopidae).
TL;DR: It is concluded that sexual selection is occurring as a side-effect of the female rejection response, which has probably evolved in order to avoid costs associated with copulation.
