user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Personality in Community Ecology Responses: Integrating the behaviour and species interactions of a marine invader' (PinCER).

assistant: **Concept**

Consistent behavioural variation between individuals of the same species (i.e. animal personality) is very common in animals, from mammals to fish and insects. Personality types like boldness/shyness can change how the individual interacts with its environment, e.g. the outcome of predator-prey interactions. However, the effects of widespread personality variability on ecosystems is relatively unexplored. Recent work shows that personality variability can alter the nature of trophic interactions between species and potentially contribute to ecosystem stability. Therefore, PinCER will investigate animal personality as a functional trait, quantifying links between personality (e.g. boldness, exploration etc.) and diet, trophic position and body condition in individual animals. By quantifying the degree that personality variability translates to functional diversity in food webs, PinCER will provide unprecedented insights into the effects of personality on ecosystems. Building on the experimental work, a review paper will also investigate existing empirical literature on behavioural variability’s role in species interactions.Experimental work will focus on the round goby (Neogobius melanostomus), analysing the links between personality and trophic interactions across an ecological invasion gradient. The round goby is an invasive fish in the Baltic Sea and European inlet waters and a proven study subject for behavioural research. Results will also have management implications, giving highly focused individual data on the species’ impacts on Baltic Sea communities. A full-time secondment in the Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission (Helsinki Commission) will focus on invasive species policy (management of ship-mediated introductions of non-indigenous species, e.g.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon Europe proposal for the project 'Between Fixism and Evolutionism: The Origin of Species in Medieval Thought'.

assistant: **Objectives**

It is commonly believed that the debate on the nature of living species and their possible evolution has no real history prior to the 18th century. The roots of this assumption lie in the belief that the entire previous tradition had been dominated by the combination of the Aristotelian doctrine of the eternity of species (fixism) and Jewish, Christian and Islamic creationism. The core hypothesis of SPECIES is that, on the contrary, the Middle Ages produced a significant and sophisticated series of reflections on the constancy and fluidity of species, and that the originality of these doctrines can be traced to the use of arguments based on divine omnipotence.The ambition of SPECIES is to rewrite the history of the concept of species. To this end, it will develop through four specific questions, which correspond to the four fundamental objectives [O] of the project:1. [ORIGO] Are species eternal or do they have a temporal beginning? O1: Show that pre-evolutionary theories are by no means a monolithic and undifferentiated whole.2. [ORDO] Do species represent an unchanging essential order or can they be subject to variation?O2: Show that hypotheses relating in various ways to the variability or new generation of species arose and were discussed long before the 18th and 19th centuries.3. [PRAEDICATIO] What is the relationship between species as natural kinds and species as logical predicables? O3: Clarify the relationship between logical and natural classifications in the pre-modern period, allowing a precise disambiguation of the different meanings of ‘species’.4. [DESCENSUS] Are species hierarchically ordered among themselves? And do they allow for any internal subdivision?O4: Offer a first precise reconstruction of the genesis of a number of (still) burning issues, such

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'ROle of crustacean zooplankton on prokaryotic community composition in the MEsopelagic Ocean' (ROMEO) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The ROMEO proposal aims at linking aspects of two scientific fields, traditionally separated, zooplankton ecology and microbial oceanography. ROMEO will investigate the influence of zooplankton activity on the prokaryotic community composition and activity in the open North Atlantic. During a four-week expedition in North Atlantic, the dominant crustacean zooplankton will be collected and the community composition of the resident and the transient gut prokaryotes determined during their nocturnal feeding in the surface waters and at daytime when they are residing at mesopelagic depths. Focus will be put on the two dominant calanoid copepod species in the North Atlantic, Calanus finmarchicus and C. helgolandicus. Also, the prokaryotic community and activity will be assessed in the fecal pellets and the successional changes in the community composition and activity followed during the decomposition of the fecal material. For the determination of the prokaryotic community composition, next generation sequencing will be applied on a metagenomic and –transcriptomic level. The hetero- and the autotrophic activity of the archaea will be differentiated from that of the bacteria using selective inhibitors, erythromycin for bacteria, diphtheria toxin for archaea. Bulk activity measurements as well as single-cell analyses will be performed and compared with the activity patterns in the ambient waters. Overall, the project will involve a substantial amount of bioinformatics work, which is the main training part of the researcher in ROMEO. The project will lead to an advancement of our understanding of the interaction between the main food source for North Atlantic fish, the calanoid zooplankton, and the main drivers of the biogeochemical cycles, the prokaryotes.

user: Describe how 'Innovative methods for understanding blunt force trauma patterns to assess conflicts in past times' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Blunt force trauma (BFT) is one of the most common type of trauma observed in archaeological studies and forensic cases. Often originating from assaults or accidental falls, determining the exact cause is difficult. Accidents are often associated with multiple traumata occurring in different areas of the body, whereas violent acts show directional trauma patterns. The study of skeletal trauma significantly hampered by insufficient methods to differentiate accidents from assaults.The research will take place under supervision of Prof. Jankauskas, a very experienced forensic anthropologist and bioarchaeologist, at the faculty of medicine at Vilnius University (LT). Based on 500 recent trauma cases from the US, this project will establish new protocols for the analysis of BFT. Trauma frequencies all over the body and features of traumata will be evaluated to identify discrimination factors for the distinction between accidents and assaults. In the second stage, the developed methods will be applied to archaeological samples presenting high frequencies of BFT which will provide new insights into, assaults, accidents, and child abuse in prehistory and will allow to interpret societal changes in the past related to climate change, frailty and famines.Training opportunities and a two-way-knowledge transfer of hands-on forensic case work, trauma & palaeopathological analyses will bring urgently needed know-how to Austria and will provide networking opportunities for new methods for VU, e.g. peptide analyses. This is the first study which analyzes BFT patterns on a large scale to develop new methods for the interpretation of trauma in the past. A systematic evaluation of osteological traumata on a large recent sample has rarely been performed in anthropological studies which mak

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Origin: reconstructing African prehistory using ancient DNA' (ORIGIN) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

Human history in Africa over the last tens of thousands of years is an integral part of understanding the origins of our species. The starting point for most genetic studies of human origins has been based on the depth of present-day human diversity between and within African populations. Even though aDNA studies provided additional resolution and transformed our understanding of the past demography of different human groups reaching as far as ~430ka in Europe, due to the challenging conditions for endogenous DNA preservation, relatively few ancient genomes have been recovered from Africa compared to Europe and Asia, limiting our insights into the population history of the African continent. This project aims to fill-in this gap by making use of the recent advancements in aDNA methodology and generate genome-wide data from a larger number of ancient African individuals across the continent and dating as far back as the Later Stone Age, i.e. to at least ~20ka. These ancient genomes will be analysed together with the published present-day and ancient modern human, as well as archaic datasets in order to investigate migrations, level of interactions, admixture and population structure of different human groups within Africa, as well as between Africa and other parts of the world.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon Europe proposal for the project 'Enzyme Mimicking by Metabolite-Metal Nanozymes with Exceptional Operational Stability'.

assistant: **Objectives**

While enzymes are highly useful in various applications, their limited operational stability and production costs have led to an extensive search for stable catalytic agents that will retain the efficiency, specificity, and environmental-friendliness of natural enzymes. Despite extensive efforts, there is still an unmet need for improved enzyme mimics and novel concepts to discover and optimize such agents. Inspired by the catalytic activity of amyloids and the formation of amyloid-like assemblies by metabolites, our group pioneered the development of metabolite-metal co-assemblies that mimic the catalytic function of common metalloenzymes with remarkably safe and simple building blocks. Intriguingly, the assemblies exhibit high efficiency and exceptional robustness, even under extreme conditions of temperature, pH, and salinity that are impractical for enzymes. Yet, we had only explored a minute fraction of the chemical space as present in natural enzymes. In this project, we propose the first-ever systematic exploration of a vast combinatorial matrix consisting of metabolites and metal ions that co-assemble into unique supramolecular catalytic active sites, analogous to the organization of covalently bound residues and metal ions in conventional enzymes. The proposed work will involve advanced experimental and computational techniques, including artificial intelligence-driven predictive modelling based on functional, structural, and mechanistic data, to identify, optimize, and test the new nanozymes in various relevant application scenarios. Through this comprehensive study, we will not only identify and characterize highly efficient nanozymes, but also gain fundamental insights into the evolution of natural enzymes and design principles of catalytic nanomaterials.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Transcriptional mapping of chromosome 21; physical mapping prior to sequencing and sequencing in the Down Syndrome chromosome region'.

assistant: **Concept**

This project brings together the main European groups working on the mapping of, and diseases related to, chromosome 21: 12/13 participants have already been involved in collaborative work (BIOMED1) during which the genetic map was improved to a resolution better than 2cM; a physical map of the 21q arm has localised 6000 cosmids in 142 pockets ; 30% of the q arm has been covered with YAC contigs anchored on markers of the genomic map at a resolution of 50 kb; and a preliminary transcriptional map has been constructed identifying more than 150 new coding sequences out of the estimated 1000 genes on this chromosome. Among these coding sequences 10 have homologies with known genes in other species or are known genes but which have not previously been mapped. The main objective of the present consortium is to contribute to the construction of a complete transcriptional map of HSA21 by identifying more than 80% of the coding sequences. The general strategy is i: construction of an accurate physical map for the telomeric region, for the proximal part of the q arm including a region duplicated in the normal chromosome and for the p arm; this map will be used to construct ready-to-sequence contigs in the regions potentially associated with diseases mapping of telomere and centromere will also give important information on their functionally important non coding sequences; ii: using exon trapping and cDNA selection with random cosmid pools or mapped cosmid contigs; iii:mapping back the coding sequences onto the physical map; iv: characterizing the expression pattern of the coding sequences with strong homologies to known genes.The quality of the physical map and the clinical interest in a given region will determine the efforts expended in further study of the expression pattern

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Everyday Writing in Graeco-Roman and Late Antique Egypt (I - VIII AD). A Socio-Semiotic Study of Communicative Variation' (EVWRIT) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

This five-year project aims to generate a paradigm shift in the understanding of Graeco-Roman and Late Antique communication. Non-literary, ‘documentary’ texts from Ancient Egypt such as letters, petitions and contracts have provided and continue to provide a key witness for our knowledge of the administration, education, economy, etc. of Ancient Egypt. This project argues that since documentary texts represent originals, their external characteristics should also be brought into the interpretation: elements such as handwriting, linguistic register or writing material transmit indirect social messages concerning hierarchy, status, and power relations, and can therefore be considered ‘semiotic resources’. The project’s driving hypothesis is that communicative variation – variation that is functionally insignificant but socially significant (e.g. there are ~ there’s ~ it’s a lot of people) – enables the expression of social meaning. The main aim of this project is to analyse the nature of this communicative variation. To this end, a multidisciplinary team of six researchers (one PI, one post-doc, and four PhD’s) will apply recent insights form socio-semiotic and socio-linguistic theory to a corpus of Graeco-Roman and Late Antique documentary texts (I – VIII AD) by means of a three-level approach: (i) an open-access database of annotated documentary texts will be created; (ii) the ‘semiotic potential’ of the different semiotic resources that play a role in documentary writing will be analysed; (iii) the interrelationships between the different semiotic resources will be studied. The project will have a significant scientific impact: (i) it will be the first to offer a holistic perspective towards the ‘meaning’ of documentary texts; (ii) the digital tool will open up new wa

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Sensing Microbial Activities Related To Harmful Algae Blooms' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) impair water quality and ecosystem health, therefore the EU Water Framework Directive requires water management authorities to establish comprehensive monitoring programs in water bodies at risk. Traditional hand-held sampling provides limited temporal and spatial resolution that generates large uncertainties for decision making and hinders responsiveness of contingency plans. The SmartHAB project will advance emerging automatic high-frequency monitoring (AHFM) systems to improve the forecasting of HABs through data-driven modeling and real-time decision making. Microbial electrochemical sensors (MESs) capable of detecting microbial interactions during HABs episodes will be developed. This novel approach exploits the overlooked role of microbial communities in the promotion and termination of HABs as forecasting model tool. The fellow will conduct a multidisciplinary methodology at Arizona State University (USA) to (i) design and develop low-cost and low-maintenance biosensors and characterize the interface between electroactive bacterial biofilms (EABs) and the electrode; (ii) design and develop a multimodule AHFM platform with biosensors to collect massive water quality data that, after processing through machine leaning/artificial intelligence (ML/AI) tools, will allow to correlate the electrical fingerprints with HAB-related processes; and (iii) understand the sensitivity of the biosensor to microbial community shifts. All this knowledge will be transferred to IMDEA Water (Spain-EU), where (iv) the ability of biosensors to identify specific events related to HABs will be enhanced by constructing tailored biofilms on electrodes through an innovative 3D-printing technique. Overall, this project will allow the fellow to gain experience and a

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Cost advantageous and scalable drone alarm and protection system for urban contexts' (KNOX).

assistant: **Innovation**

The Danish SME MyDefence aims to pursue a major market opportunity through the optimization and demonstration of an innovative, cost advantageous and scalable drone alarm and protection system (KNOX) to be used by security services providers and infrastructure owners - public and private sectors - in urban contexts. KNOX detects and identifies civilian drones and protects infrastructures and mobile soft targets against drones’ threats.Drones are quickly moving from being mainly a military technology to a mass market gadget. Whereas demand and applications for drones are fast-growing, the drone market also raises security and privacy concerns. Presently, there are obvious concerns about the possibility of using drones for illicit purposes and terrorist attacks in which drones could be equipped with explosives, biological or chemical weapons.  MyDefence has developed an innovative drone alarm able to detect, identify and locate civilian drones around secure areas, and to jam in a specific wireless frequency range without interfering with other mobile signals and forcing a controlled drone landing. KNOX is also an early warning of drones’ activity and helps to locate the pilot before the accident/attack takes place. KNOX is expected to be a game changing solution for drone detection and protection in urban contexts. The present innovation project will focus on demonstrating the full KNOX solution including tactical operating procedures in 2 prisons and in 2 sports stadiums in Denmark and UK. This will be the first step towards showcasing the full concept and validating the solution under real operational environments, thus representing a key milestone for overcoming prevailing market entrance barriers for MyDefence.
