| 2 | Insights from the study of complex systems for the ecology and evolution of animal populations显示文摘Populations of animals comprise many individuals,interacting in multiple contexts,and displaying heterogeneous behaviors.The interactions among individuals can often create population dynamics that are fundamentally deterministic yet display unpredictable dynamics.Animal populations can,therefore,be thought of as complex systems.Complex systems display properties such as nonlinearity and uncertainty and show emergent properties that cannot be explained by a simple sum of the interacting components.Any system where entities compete,cooperate,or interfere with one another may possess such qualities,making animal populations similar on many levels to complex systems.Some fields are already embracing elements of complexity to help understand the dynamics of animal populations,but a wider application of complexity science in ecology and evolution has not occurred.We review here how approaches from complexity science could be applied to the study of the interactions and behavior of individuals within animal populations and highlight how this way of thinking can enhance our understanding of population dynamics in animals.We focus on 8 key characteristics of complex systems:hierarchy,heterogeneity,selforganization,openness,adaptation,memory,nonlinearity,and uncertainty.For each topic we discuss how concepts from complexity theory are applicable in animal populations and emphasize the unique insights they provide.We finish by outlining outstanding questions or predictions to be evaluated using behavioral and ecological data.Our goal throughout this article is to familiarize animal ecologists with the basics of each of these concepts and highlight the new perspectives that they could bring to variety of subfields. | David N.FISHER Jonathan N.PRUITT | 2020 | Current Zoology2020，66，1： | 1 |
| 3 | Exposure to cuticular bacteria can alter host behavior in a funnel-weaving spider显示文摘Contact with environmental microbes are arguably the most common species interaction in which any animal participates.Studies have noted diverse relationships between hosts and resident microbes,which can have strong consequences for host development,physiology,and behavior. Many of these studies focus specifically on pathogens or beneficial microbes,while the benign microbes,of which the majority of bacteria could be described,are often ignored.Here,we explore the nature of the relationships between the grass spider Agelenopsis pennsylvanica and bacteria collected from their cuticles in situ.First,using culture-based methods,we identified a portion of the cuticular bacterial communities that are naturally associated with these spiders.Then,we topically exposed spiders to a subset of these bacterial monocultures to estimate how bacterial exposure may alter 3 host behavioral traits:boldness,aggressiveness,and activity level.We conducted these behavioral assays 3 times before and 3 times after topical application,and compared the changes observed in each trait with spiders that were exposed to a sterile control treatment.We identified 9 species of bacteria from the cuticles of 36 spiders and exposed groups of 20 spiders to 1 of 4 species of cuticular bacteria.We found that exposure to Dermacoccus nishinomiyaensis and Staphylococcus saprophyticus was associated with a lO-fold decrease in the foraging aggressiveness of spiders toward prey in their web.Since bacterial exposure did not have survival consequences for hosts,these data suggest that interactions with cuticular bacteria,even non- pathogenic bacteria,could alter host behavior. | Olivia B.PARKS Krishna S.KOTHAMASU Michael J.ZIEMBA Morgan BENNER Madison CRISTINZIANO Serena KANTZ Daniel LEGER John LI Devanshi PATEL William RABUSE Samantha SUTTON Amandi WILSON Priyanka BAIREDDY Aditi A.KAMAT Mariah J.CALLAS Matthew J.BORGES Marysa N.SCALIA Emily KLENK Gabrielle SCHERER Maria M.MARTINEZ Sarah R.GRUBS Nancy KAUFMANN Jonathan N.PRUITT Carl N.KEISER | 2018 | Current Zoology2018，64，6： | 0 |
