The ecology and evolution of inducible defenses
TL;DR: Inducible defenses are responses activated through a previous encounter with a consumer or competitor that confer some degree of resistance to subsequent attacks as discussed by the authors, which can affect the probability of individual survival and growth.

Meaning in the context of stress and coping
Crystal L. Park,Susan Folkman +1 more
TL;DR: Although theoretical and empirical work on topics related to meaning and meaning making proliferate, careful evaluation and integration of this area have not been carried out as discussed by the authors, which is a serious issue.

The Strategic Context of External Network Ties: Examining the Impact of Director Appointments on Board Involvement in Strategic Decision Making
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined how external network ties determine a board's ability to contribute to the strategic decision-making process and found that the simple number of director appointments to other boards is not a good predictor of board performance.

Exploitation of Sexual Signals by Predators and Parasitoids
Marlene Zuk,Gita R. Kolluru +1 more
TL;DR: Signals used to attract mates are often conspicuous to predators and parasites, and their evolution via sexual selection is expected to be opposed by viability selection, while plants emit attractants analogous to secondary sex characters in animals, and may also be vulnerable to signal exploitation.

Sequence Effect in Parkinson's Disease Is Related to Motor Energetic Cost.
TL;DR: This study aims to characterize the SE systematically and relate this phenomenon to the energetic cost of movement within the context of cost–benefit framework of motor control, and finds that dopaminergic treatment fails to maintain the motor vigor across responses.
Response Strategies and Response Styles in Cross-Cultural Surveys
TL;DR: This paper conducted a mixed-method study and found that respondents use three types of response strategies to overcome difficulties of responding to items in a cross-cultural survey and that these response strategies are also related to a respondent's generation of immigration.

Unaware yet reliant on attention: Experience sampling reveals that mind-wandering impedes implicit learning
Michael S. Franklin,Jonathan Smallwood,Claire M. Zedelius,James M. Broadway,Jonathan W. Schooler +4 more
TL;DR: A significant negative correlation between mind-wandering and implicit learning was revealed and greater task focus was associated with improved implicit sequence learning, suggesting that, at least in the context of this SRT task, optimal implicit learning relies on attention.
Competitive ability of the bunchgrass Schizachyrium scoparium as affected by grazing history and defoliation
TL;DR: The data confirm that herbivory by domestic cattle may function as a selection pressure to induce architectural variation in grass populations within an ecological time frame (ca <-25 yrs).
Bait aggregation to reduce cost and toxin use in aerial 1080 baiting of small mammal pests in New Zealand.
TL;DR: Simply by modifying bait distribution patterns, spatial aggregation can be used to maintain the high encounter rate of pests with 1080 bait that is necessary for operational efficacy, while reducing current toxin usage by up to 80%.
