Robber Flies, Asilidae (Insecta: Diptera: Asilidae) by E. M. Finn

“…Asilidae diversity can be attributed to their broad distribution; most species tend to occupy a selective niche. As their common name implies, robber flies have voracious appetites and feed on a vast array of other arthropods, which may help to maintain a healthy balance between insect populations in various habitats (Joern and Rudd 1982, Shurovnekov 1962). …”

Guépard-gazelle : entre prédation et care, construction de l’ethos discursif de femmes chasseresses by Guillonne Balaguer

“…Finally, I analyse examples of anthropomorphisation and animalisation, which highlight a disturbance at the inter-species boundary. In this way, I attempt to show the complexity of a plural ethos, in tension between care and kill, in which female hunters assert themselves, overturning essentialist paradigms linking woman and prey, hunting and masculinity, while using gender assignments to construct their discursive identity.…”

Evolution in Response to Management Increases Invasiveness Among Experimental Populations of Duckweed (Lemna minor) by Taylor A. Zallek, Martin M. Turcotte

“…This evolution in response to management had little effect on the impact of the invader on the resident species. These results illustrate the potential eco‐evolutionary consequences of management practices. …”

Brazilian Peppertree Thrips Pseudophilothrips ichini (Hood) (Insecta: Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) by Patricia Prade, Carey R Minteer, James P Cuda

“… The Brazilian peppertree thrips, Pseudophilothrips ichini (Hood) (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae), is an insect native to Brazil (Figure 1). This species has been studied for the last 20+ years as a potential biological control agent of Brazilian peppertree, Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi (Sapindales: Anacardiaceae), in Florida (Cuda et al. 2008; Cuda et al. 2008; Manrique at al. 2014; Wheeler et al. 2016a, b). …”

The Economic Impact of Feed Efficiency in Beef Cattle by Travis D. Maddock, Darren D. Henry, G. Cliff Lamb

“…In the case of the beef cattle industry, competition can come from two sources: other producers who sell similar classes of cattle, and other protein-producing species, such as pork and poultry. Measuring efficiency across the entire integrated beef system can be difficult due to the differing classes of cattle, breed differences, and ways in which the biological systems interact. …”

L’enfant de Mezmaiskaya (Caucase) examiné dans une double perspective paléogénétique et paléoanthropologique by Véronique Barriel, Anne-Marie Tillier

“…The palaeogenetic interpretation is examined in the present article based on data available for modern humans (Anderson et al. 1981; HvrBase; http://www.hvrbase.de) and for three Middle Palaeolithic fossils from Germany (Feildhofer 1 and 2 ; Krings et al. 1997; Krings et al. 1999; Schmitz et al. 2002) and Croatia (Vindija-75-G3/h-203; Krings et al. 2000), which are attributed to the Neanderthal line and those of Pan paniscus and the four sub-species of Pan troglodytes (EMBL and GenBank). The question of the phylogenetic status of the Mezmaiskaya child is examined using both molecular analysis and anthropological arguments.…”

Les paysages de grande culture et les bords de route by Francesca Di Pietro, Clémence Chaudron

“…In recent years large-scale cropland landscapes have undergone drastic changes in terms of land cover which, combined with the development of road networks, make roadsides a potential habitat and corridor for many species. In order to enhance these new functions differentiated management is applied by public management administrations, which raises concerns on the part of farmers with plots bordering roads about risks due to weeds inducing the agricultural management of roadsides. …”
