Allee effects mediate the impact of land-use change on the thermal niche of social species

S.-F. Chan, D. R. Rubenstein, T.-W. Wang, Y.-Y. Chen, I.-C. Chen, D.-Z. Ni, W.-K. Shih, S.-F. Shen

The paper models how land-use change affects social species' thermal niches via Allee effects, finding reduced beetle densities and higher distributional boundaries in human-altered landscapes.

Antagonistic Effects of Intraspecific Cooperation and Interspecific Competition on Thermal Performance

H.-Y. Tsai, D. R. Rubenstein, B.-F. Chen, M. Liu, S.-F. Chan, D.-P. Chen, S.-J. Sun, T.-N. Yuan, S.-F. Shen

This study models how interspecific competition narrows thermal performance curves and shows that intraspecific cooperation can counteract this effect in beetles.

Biological adaptation under fluctuating selection

M. Liu, D. Rubenstein, W.-C. Liu, S.-F. Shen

The paper uses mathematical models to explore alternative strategies to bet-hedging for adapting to fluctuating environments, finding a strategy that increases mean fitness despite higher variance.

A Chemically-triggered Transition from Conflict to Cooperation in Burying Beetles

B.-F. Chen, M. Liu, D. R. Rubenstein, S.-J. Sun, J.-N. Liu, Y.-H. Lin, S.-F. Shen

This study shows that interspecific competition with blowflies triggers cooperation in burying beetles through a chemical cue, dimethyl disulfide.

Response to Qian et al (2017): Daily and seasonal climate variations are both critical in the evolution of species’ elevational range size

W.-P. Chan, I.-C. Chen, R. K. Colwell, W.-C. Liu, C.-y. Huang, S.-F. Shen

The paper addresses criticisms of their previous study on climate variability's impact on species' elevational range size by clarifying their use of structural equation modeling and reiterating their findings using multiple statistical methods.
