Radical loss of an extreme extra-pair mating system Sjouke A Kingma, Michelle L Hall, Gernot Segelbacher, Anne Peters BMC Ecology 2009, 9:15 (19 May 2009) Extra-pair paternity is common in Australian fairy wrens, but one species, the purple-crowned fairy wren, is surprisingly faithful despite sharing life history parameters with other birds in this genus, suggesting that minor inter-specific differences can cause radical shifts in behavior.

Tracking the global dispersal of a cosmopolitan insect pest, the peach potato aphid John T Margaritopoulos, Louise Kasprowicz, Gaynor L Malloch, Brian Fenton BMC Ecology 2009, 9:13 (11 May 2009) The aphid crop pest, Myzus persicae, can rapidly reproduce by sexual and asexual modes and has dispersed worldwide, accompanying human colonisation, to result in genetically distinctive populations in Europe and New Zealand, as well as a tobacco-specific sub-species.

Frequency-dependent selection by wild birds promotes polymorphism in model salamanders Benjamin M Fitzpatrick, Kim Shook, Reuben Izally BMC Ecology 2009, 9:12 (8 May 2009) Birds attack salamander models with or without a stripe on their back with a frequency that depends on how common each type is, suggesting that predation may maintain variation in prey color and patterning.
