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.

Prenatal environmental conditions underlie alternative reproductive tactics that drive the formation of a mixed-kin cooperative society

S. Shah, D. R. Rubenstein

The paper shows that prenatal environmental conditions influence reproductive tactics in superb starlings, leading to mixed-kin cooperative societies despite potential social conflict.

Demographic inference provides insights into the extirpation and ecological dominance of eusocial snapping shrimps

T. C. S. Chak, S. E. Harris, K. M. Hultgren, J. E. Duffy, D. R. Rubenstein

This study uses demographic inference to show that eusocial snapping shrimps have lower but more stable population sizes, which may explain their ecological dominance but also their vulnerability to environmental changes.

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.

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.
