Measuring the accuracy of gridded human population density surfaces: a case study in Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea

B. Fries, D. L. Smith, S. Wu, A. J. Dolgert, C. A. Guerra, S. I. Hay, G. A. Garcia, J. M. Smith, J. N. M. Oyono, O. T. Donfack, J. O. O. Nfumu

This paper evaluates population density maps using census data from Bioko Island, finding that LandScan best captures urban areas, HRSL performs well in rural areas, and WorldPop is less accurate overall.

Plasticity of behavioural variability reflects conflicting selection in group-living and solitary desert locusts

B. Cooper, J. M. Smith, T. Matheson, S. R. Ott

The paper tests whether group-living leads to reduced behavioural variability in desert locusts and finds lower variability in gregarious phase locusts.

Strong hybrid male incompatibilities impede the spread of a selfish chromosome between populations of a fly.

R. Verspoor, J. M. Smith, N. L. Mannion, G. D. Hurst, T. Price

The paper investigates why a selfish chromosome fails to spread northward in Spain, finding genetic incompatibilities with local genetic backgrounds prevent its spread.
