    Organizational Ethics in Healthcare: A National Survey

    Organizational ethics—defined as the alignment of an institution’s practices with its mission, vision, and values—is a growing field in health care not well characterized in empirical literature. To capture th...

    Strong effects of food quality on host life history do not scale to impact parasitoid efficacy or life history

    Parasitoids are small insects, (e.g., small wasps or flies) that reproduce by laying eggs on or within host arthropods. Parasitoids make up a large proportion of the world’s biodiversity and are popular agents...

    Developmental synchrony in multivoltine insects: generation separation versus smearing

    Many insect species undergo multiple generations each year. They are found across biomes that vary in their strength of seasonality and, depending on location and species, can display a wide range of populatio...

    Fitness consequences of altered feeding behavior in immune-challenged mosquitoes

    Malaria-infected mosquitoes have been reported to be more likely to take a blood meal when parasites are infectious than when non-infectious. This change in feeding behavior increases the likelihood of malaria...

    The Opportunities and Challenges for Shared Decision-Making in the Rural United States

    The ethical standard for informed consent is fostered within a shared decision-making (SDM) process. SDM has become a recognized and needed approach in health care decision-making. Based on an ethical foundat...

    Small-amplitude cycles emerge from stage-structured interactions in Daphnia–algal systems

    McCauley et al. blend theory and experiment to explore the dynamical mechanisms that give rise to different types of predator–prey cycles. Their theory predicts a new type of small-amplitude cycle that coexists w...

    Connecting host physiology to host resistance in the conifer-bark beetle system

    Host defenses can generate Allee effects in pathogen populations when the ability of the pathogen to overwhelm the defense system is density-dependent. The host–pathogen interaction between conifer hosts and b...

    Stage-structured cycles generate strong fitness-equalizing mechanisms

    For many organisms, rates of reproduction, growth and mortality depend on the amount of resources that an individual consumes. When resource abundances fluctuate through space and time, the realized life-histo...

    Mechanisms for consumer diversity (Reply)

    We have demonstrated that qualitatively different consumer-resource dynamics can have a large impact on natural selection in a consumer population, and proposed that the change in selection is generated by the...

    Stage-structured cycles promote genetic diversity in a predator–prey system of Daphnia and algae

    Understanding how genetic diversity is maintained in nature is a fundamental problem. Existing theory assumes overly simple population dynamics, even though these dynamics are rarely supported by the evidence....
