Altruistic defence behaviours in aphids
TL;DR: Cornicle secretions of aphids were altruistic against parasitoids, as they provided no direct fitness benefits to secretion-releasing individuals, only indirect fitness benefits through neighbouring clone-mates.
Testing competing measures of profitability for mobile resources
Maryse Barrette,Maryse Barrette,Gi-Mick Wu,Gi-Mick Wu,Jacques Brodeur,Luc-Alain Giraldeau,Guy Boivin,Guy Boivin +7 more
TL;DR: Fitness gain rate is a reliable predictor of animal’s choice for foragers exploiting resources that impose additional time cost due to their mobility, according to testable predictions about the choice of the forager.

Risky decisions: a test of risk sensitivity in socially foraging flocks of Lonchura punctulata
Gi-Mick Wu,Luc-Alain Giraldeau +1 more
TL;DR: Analyses of the foraging rewards of three flocks of seven birds confirm that producer is a riskier foraging strategy than is scrounger, although the difference in risk is rather small.

Maize root-induced biopores do not influence root growth of subsequently grown maize plants in well aerated, fertilized and repacked soil columns
Maxime Phalempin,Magdalena Landl,Gi-Mick Wu,Andreas Schnepf,Doris Vetterlein,Steffen Schlüter +5 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors developed a method based on the analysis of X-ray CT 3D images which enabled them to characterize the degree of biopore recycling for root-induced biopores down to 60 µm of diameter.
