  • Honey Bees Tune Colony and Individual Foraging to Multi-Predator Presence and Food Quality
    Fearful Foragers: Honey Bees Tune Colony and Individual Foraging to Multi-Predator Presence and Food Quality Ken Tan1,2*, Zongwen Hu2, Weiwen Chen2, Zhengwei Wang2, Yuchong Wang2, James C. Nieh3 1 Key Laboratory of Tropical Forest Ecology, Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Science, Kunming, China, 2 Eastern Bee Research Institute, Yunnan Agricultural University, Kunming, China, 3 Division of Biological Sciences, Section of Ecology, Behavior, and Evolution, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, California, United States of America Abstract Fear can have strong ecosystem effects by giving predators a role disproportionate to their actual kill rates. In bees, fear is shown through foragers avoiding dangerous food sites, thereby reducing the fitness of pollinated plants. However, it remains unclear how fear affects pollinators in a complex natural scenario involving multiple predator species and different patch qualities. We studied hornets, Vespa velutina (smaller) and V. tropica (bigger) preying upon the Asian honey bee, Apis cerana in China. Hornets hunted bees on flowers and were attacked by bee colonies. Bees treated the bigger hornet species (which is 4 fold more massive) as more dangerous. It received 4.5 fold more attackers than the smaller hornet species. We tested bee responses to a three-feeder array with different hornet species and varying resource qualities. When all feeders offered 30% sucrose solution (w/w), colony foraging allocation, individual visits, and individual patch residence times were reduced according to the degree of danger. Predator presence reduced foraging visits by 55–79% and residence times by 17–33%. When feeders offered different reward levels (15%, 30%, or 45% sucrose), colony and individual foraging favored higher sugar concentrations.

  • Crab Spiders Impact Floral-Signal Evolution Indirectly Through Removal
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-03792-x OPEN Crab spiders impact floral-signal evolution indirectly through removal of florivores Anina C. Knauer1, Moe Bakhtiari1,2 & Florian P. Schiestl1 The puzzling diversity of flowers is primarily shaped by selection and evolutionary change caused by the plant’s interaction with animals. The contribution of individual animal species to net selection, however, may vary depending on the network of interacting organisms. Here 1234567890():,; we document that in the buckler mustard, Biscutella laevigata, the crab spider Thomisus onustus reduces bee visits to flowers but also benefits plants by feeding on florivores. Uninfested plants experience a trade-off between pollinator and spider attraction as both bees and crab spiders are attracted by the floral volatile β-ocimene. This trade-off is reduced by the induced emission of β-ocimene after florivore infestation, which is stronger in plant populations where crab spiders are present than where they are absent, suggesting that plants are locally adapted to the presence of crab spiders. Our study demonstrates the context-dependence of selection and shows how crab spiders impact on floral evolution. 1 Department of Systematic and Evolutionary Botany, University of Zurich, Zollikerstrasse 107, 8008 Zurich, Switzerland. 2Present address: Institute of Biology, University of Neuchatel, Rue Emile-Argand 11, 2000 Neuchatel, Switzerland.

  • Gillespie, RG 1989. Diet-Induced Color Change in the Hawaiian Happy
    Gillespie, R. G . 1989 . Diet-induced color change in the Hawaiian happy-face spider Theridion grallator (Araneae, Theridiidae) . J . Arachnol ., 17:171-177 . DIET-INDUCED COLOR CHANGE IN THE HAWAIIAN HAPPY-FACE SPIDER THERIDION GRALLATOR, (ARANEAE, THERIDIIDAE) Rosemary G. Gillespie' Department of Entomology, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, Hawaii 96822' USA ABSTRACT The Hawaiian happy-face spider Theridion grallator,Simon is a smalll spider, endemic to Hawaii, where it is found under leaves in the wet and mesic forests . The abdomen is pale, translucent yellow, but variable amounts of red, black or white pigment may be superimposed on this to generate a host of patterned morphs . The translucence of the abdomen may enhance crypsis against predators searching the underside of leaves ; the variability in the superimposed pattern may serve to counteract the development of a search image by the predator . The present study documents plasticity in base coloration, which can changee rapidly and markedly following ingestion of certain types of prey . This may be merely a consequence of abdominal translucence . But it is interesting to note that it adds a whole new dimension to the color polymorphism of the species . INTRODUCTION Color change in animals is a widespread phenomenon . It is generally associated with a change in physiological state . This in turn may be induced by ontogenetic or environmental changes, or stress . In spiders, color change is known to occur under a variety of circumstances . Ontogenetic modifictions are widespread, with the adult coloration being attained in the final molt (Bonnet 1933; Homann 1946; Millot 1949). More rapid changes in color pattern have been noted in spiders of the family Araneidae, which accumulate guanine beneath the cuticle during periods of starvation, thereby developing a pattern of opaque white blotches over the abdomen (Foelix 1979) .

  • A Gap Analysis of Biodiversity Research in Rocky Mountain National Park: a Pilot Study on Spiders
    A GAP ANALYSIS OF BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH IN ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK: A PILOT STUDY ON SPIDERS FINAL REPORT By ATBI/BIOBLITZ SWAT TEAM Sahil Chaini Zhenzhen Chen Casey Johnson Jianyu Wu Dr. James Clark, Adviser April 24th 2015 Master’s project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Environmental Management degree in the Nicholas School of the Environment of Duke University 2015 Executive Summary Research on biodiversity and the relationship between organisms is imperative to establish management practices for the conservation of protected areas. The E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation (EOWBF) formed our team of four Duke University students as the first of many ATBI/BioBlitz SWAT teams to travel to protected areas and develop approaches to conduct All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI) and BioBlitz that can inform their conservation. Upon arrival at Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP), we conducted data mining to determine major gaps in the understanding of biodiversity inventories. We used available species lists from research conducted in the Park to ensure that the National Park species database, NPSpecies, contains the most up-to- date information. Our team added 645 species of plants and fungi to the database through this process. After completing this gap analysis, we identified spiders as the subject of our field study. This document consists of five sections. The first section provides background information about RMNP. We discuss the extreme elevational gradient and variety of habitat types that occur in the park. These major physical and biological processes have motivated three hypotheses to study spiders. We hypothesize that spider species richness: (1) is higher during night sampling than day sampling; (2) decreases as elevation increases; and (3) is higher in riparian zones.

We delineate Adversarial Genetic Programming for Cyber Security, a research topic that, by means of genetic programming (GP), replicates and studies the behavior of cyber adversaries and the dynamics of their engage- ments. Adversarial Genetic Programming for Cyber Security encompasses ex- tant and immediate research efforts in a vital problem domain, arguably oc- cupying a position at the frontier where GP matters. Additionally, it prompts research questions around evolving complex behavior by expressing different abstractions with GP and opportunities to reconnect to the Machine Learn- ing, Artificial Life, Agent-Based Modeling and Cyber Security communities. We present a framework called RIVALS which supports the study of network security arms races. Its goal is to elucidate the dynamics of cyber networks under attack by computationally modeling and simulating them.
