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.

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.

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.

“All or nothing”: Attachment avoidance and the curvilinear effects of partner support.
TL;DR: The utility of curvilinear models are demonstrated in reconciling the costs and benefits of support, and it is indicated that high levels of practical support can overcome the defenses of highly avoidant individuals by offering undeniable evidence of the partner's availability.
Dirty money: Is there a wage premium for working in a pollution intensive industry?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate whether there is a wage premium for working in a pollution intensive industry and find evidence of a fatal risk wage premium, providing estimates of the value of a statistical life of between £12 million and £19 million (2000 prices).
Species-level selection reduces selfishness through competitive exclusion
Daniel J. Rankin,Andrés López-Sepulcre,Andrés López-Sepulcre,Kevin R. Foster,Kevin R. Foster,Hanna Kokko +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that individual selection in combination with competitive exclusion greatly increases the likelihood that selfish species go extinct, and this idea is explored in a simple model that combines individual‐level selection with ecology in two interacting species.
"The truly false consensus effect: An ineradicable and egocentric bias in social perception": Correction.
TL;DR: This work has shown that even Ss who had been educated about the consensus bias, or had received feedback about actual consensus, or both showed the bias despite the availability of other statistical information in all 3 experiments.
Trait-Level Variability in Attention Modulates Mind Wandering and Academic Achievement.
TL;DR: This work places an innate ability to control attention at the very core of real life success, and highlights the need for studying mind wandering through an interdisciplinary lens that brings together cognitive, biological, social, and clinical theories in order to understand the fundamental mechanisms that drive this behavior.
