TL;DR: The issue of suicide, including prevention, intervention, and postvention, continues to be a problem on college campuses and implications for mental health professionals in university settings are described.
Abstract: The issue of suicide, including prevention, intervention, and postvention, continues to be a problem on college campuses. For this study, data concerning a variety of issues related to college student suicide were collected from 1,865 students at four different universities. Incidence, risk factors, and potential solutions are described, as well as implications for mental health professionals in university settings.

TL;DR: This study examines two competing hypotheses about the relationship between care-related strain and the difficulty adjusting to the impaired relative's death, and suggests that family members who perceive caregiving as stressful will experience some relief when their relative dies because care responsibilities end.
Abstract: This study examines two competing hypotheses about the relationship between care-related strain and the difficulty adjusting to the impaired relative's death. One hypothesis, and the limited available empirical evidence, suggests that family members who perceive caregiving as stressful will experience some relief when their relative dies because care responsibilities end. An alternative hypothesis, derived from several conceptualizations, posits the opposite relationship, with greater care-related strain predictive of greater strain during bereavement. Panel data from spouse and adult-child caregivers collected before and after the death support the second hypothesis. Respondents who appraise caregiving as more difficult and those who report more negative caregiving consequences for the family assess bereavement as more difficult and report greater bereavement strain for the family.

TL;DR: In this article, a supply function, based on a modification of Griffin's model, is estimated using data from 1973-1997, which includes phases of price increase (1970s) and price decrease (1980s-1990s).

TL;DR: To quantify the effects of daily floral display on pollinator movements and selfing, experimentally manipulated flower number in four replicate arrays of Mimulus ringens (Scrophulariaceae), each consisting of genets with unique combinations of homozygous marker genotypes.
Abstract: Pollinators often visit several flowers in sequence on plants with large floral displays. This foraging pattern is expected to influence the rate of self-fertilization in self-compatible taxa. To quantify the effects of daily floral display on pollinator movements and selfing, we experimentally manipulated flower number in four replicate (cloned) arrays of Mimulus ringens (Scrophulariaceae), each consisting of genets with unique combinations of homozygous marker genotypes. Four display classes (two, four, eight and 16 flowers) were present in each array. Pollinator visitation rate per flower and seed set per fruit were unaffected by display. However, flower number strongly influenced the frequency of within-plant pollinator movements, which increased from 13.8% of probes on two-flower displays to 77.6% of probes on 16-flower displays. The proportion of within-plant movements was significantly correlated with selfing (r=0.993). The increase from 22.9% selfing on two-flower displays to 37.3% selfing on 16-flower displays reflects changes in the extent of geitonogamous self-pollination. We estimate that approximately half of all selfing on 16-flower displays resulted from geitonogamy. Selfing also varied dramatically among fruits within display classes. Nested ANOVA indicates that differences among flowers on two-flower ramets accounted for 45.4% of the variation in selfing, differences among genets accounted for 16.1% of the variation, and statistical and sampling error accounted for 38.5% of the variation. Differences among flowers within ramets may reflect the order of sequential floral probes on a display.
