Energy as a seasonal signal for growth and reproduction

Joshua M. Gendron et al.

Summary: Plants use photoperiod as a signal for seasonal change, and there are new connections between photoperiod measuring systems and metabolism. Studies combining historical observations with modern tools suggest there is more to learn about photoperiodism in plants.

Net benefits of a mutualism: Influence of the quality of extrafloral nectar on the colony fitness of a mutualistic ant

Eduardo Soares Calixto et al.

Summary: Short-term provision of extrafloral nectar increased the number and weight of individuals in Camponotus crassus colonies, while supplying more concentrated carbohydrate and nitrogen food enhanced ant colony fitness and survival regardless of time.

Preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses in ecology and evolutionary biology: a PRISMA extension

Rose E. O'Dea et al.

Summary: Since the early 1990s, ecologists and evolutionary biologists have used meta-analytic methods to aggregate primary research and understand ecological and evolutionary phenomena. While meta-analyses can help resolve disputes and generate new questions, the quality of the publications depends on transparent and reproducible reporting by the authors. Improving reporting quality may require referencing guidelines and using structured methods.
