<p><strong>Reciprocal intraguild predation between <em>Neoseiulus barkeri</em> and <em>Amblyseius swirskii </em>(Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae); does experience affect anti-intraguild... by Mehdi Bohloolzadeh, Azadeh Zahedi Golpayegani, Alireza Saboori, Hosein Allahyari

“… In order to increase their inclusive fitness, animals predominantly probe their changing environment for predation cues to adopt appropriate antipredator strategies and decrease the costs of defensive behavior. Intraguild predation (IGP) occurs when a predator kills and consumes individuals of another predator which is its competitor for a shared prey. …”

Experimental passage of St. Louis encephalitis virus in vivo in mosquitoes and chickens reveals evolutionarily significant virus characteristics. by Alexander T Ciota, Yongqing Jia, Anne F Payne, Greta Jerzak, Lauren J Davis, David S Young, Dylan Ehrbar, Laura D Kramer

“…Previous studies suggest that WNV and SLEV differ in capacity for both genetic change and host specialization, and in the costs each accrues from specializing. In an attempt to clarify how selective pressures contribute to epidemiological patterns of WNV and SLEV, we evaluated mutant spectra size, consensus genetic change, and phenotypic changes for SLEV in vivo following 20 sequential passages via inoculation in either Culex pipiens mosquitoes or chickens. …”
