Abstract

This document is a collection of letters from readers published in New Scientist. The letters cover a range of topics, including the idea of terraforming Mars, the impact of screen time on children, the taste of the dodo bird, the classification of human and post-primate species, fairness in sports, the benefits of domestic work for exercise, the direction of time, weight-loss medication for children, the concept of artificial intelligence, and the potential of kangaroos to reduce livestock methane emissions. The letters offer diverse perspectives on these subjects and provide insights for further exploration. [Extracted from the article]

21. History articles of interest to archaeologists. Annotated bibliography

Subjects
Chenango+New York+Archaeology+History+Bibliography
Abstract

The first archaeological records in Chenango County, New York, USA, were written by historians, because there were no archaeologists present. Burial mounds were plowed over by 1810 and other features have been destroyed during the ensuing century and a half. This bibliography cites those early records plus newer ones.&nbsp

Abstract

Parasitism is a more common lifestyle in biology than people realize, because many species do not fit our preconceived image of parasites. In fact, most species on Earth are parasites [...]

Abstract

This document is a collection of letters from readers that were published in the New Scientist. The letters cover a range of topics, including the use of shopping trolleys to reduce car use, the potential for artificial intelligence to develop its own language, the origins of a Mayan/Aztec dish, the possibility of finding proof of cosmic life in our kitchens, the idea of using shipwrecks to protect marine parks, alternative explanations for the survival of planets after the death of their star, the potential downsides of energy efficiency gains, the complexity of the human brain, the use of history to expedite the fall of authoritarian regimes, the search for extraterrestrial life, and the impact of age-related height loss on BMI calculations.

Abstract

Differential predation on species with intraspecific colour variation has been explored in various systems and is often implicated as the driving force behind colour polymorphism maintenance.Here, investigation done on whether predation contributes to the maintenance of extensive colour variation in the Neotropical tortoise beetle, Chelymorpha alternans (Chrysomelidae). Recorded predation rates on different colour pattern phenotypes by three common, generalist invertebrate predators, and identified potential chemical signals of unpalatability.Predaceious mantids (Orthoptera, Mantidae) consumed no beetles, regardless of phenotype, whereas the giant orb‐weaving spider (Trichonephila clavipes; Araneidae) consumed all three beetle phenotypes. The carton‐nest ant, Azteca chartifex (Formicidae), displayed differential predation; the rufipennis phenotype of C. alternans was sometimes consumed, the metallic phenotype was never consumed, and the veraguensis phenotype was consumed in the first three encounters and subsequently discarded, suggesting a learned avoidance behaviour.Using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, it was determined that cuticular hydrocarbon profiles were similar between the metallic and militaris‐a phenotypes. The rufipennis phenotype showed pronounced differences and displayed the greatest among‐individual variation in elytral cuticular profiles.Between‐phenotype variation in chemical cues, and differences in how predators receive those cues, may mediate predator response, and play a role in maintaining colour variation in this species.
