Mesopelagic fishes of the North-West African Upwelling from the Discovery Collections
Authors: Reading Jethro , Horton Tammy 
Published: August 2023

Mesopelagic fish specimens from two stations in the NW African Upwelling were identified and catalogued to produce a Darwin Core-aligned dataset. A total of 9655 individual fishes were identified, with 9017 specimens identified at least to genus level and 3124 specimens identified to species level. This dataset comprises specimens collected from the 1990 RRS Discovery (III) Cruise D195 and was used to investigate depth-related trends in diversity and community composition alongside species-specific migratory behaviour. The finalised dataset was published on OBIS through the Deep-Sea node.
This dataset contains occurrence and abundance data for midwater fishes caught between the Mauritanian coast and Cape Verde, published for the first time. The dataset records 146 different fish taxa. Twenty-three taxa in the dataset are not present in any prior OBIS datasets that cover the area. These novel taxa are: Bathylagus andriashevi, Bolinichthys indicus, Bolinichthys supralateralis, Cyclothone parapallida, Dolichopteroides binocularis, Gigantactis indet. Gymnoscopelus stet., Howella atlantica, Hygophum proximum, Hygophum taaningi, Ichthyococcus polli, Lampadena anomala, Lampanyctus cuprarius, Lampanyctus isaacsi, Lampanyctus lineatus, Lampanyctus macdonaldi, Lampanyctus nobilis, Lestidiops mirabilis, Loweina rara, Macroparalepis brevis, Melamphaes microps and Melanonus gracilis. An anglerfish specimen belonging to Linophrynidae was also found, the first in the leftvent family to be logged in the area on OBIS; however, the specimen was too damaged to identify beyond this level.

Camellias cultivars collections, comprising an exquisite array of meticulously bred and curated camellia varieties, emerged as indispensable elements within the resplendent 19th century gardens that adorned landscapes across the globe. The heart of Terra Nostra Garden, nestled within the captivating surroundings of the Furnas volcano on S. Miguel Island (Azores, Portugal), started in the year 1782 as an enchanting fishpond garden, strategically positioned in front of the summer house belonging to the esteemed Thomas Hickling, the American vice-consul. Soon this garden was enlarged and embellished with species from several continents. This tradition continued during all the 19th century with the Viscount Duarte Borges da Câmara Medeiros (1848-1872) and his son the Marquis António Borges Medeiros Dias da Câmara e Sousa (1872-1913). In 1933, the 12 hectares property was acquired by the Terra Nostra Society, led by Vasco Bensaude and increased to 12.5 hectares. In 1935, the current Terra Nostra Garden Hotel was inaugurated and, two years later, the Terra Nostra Society reopened the botanical garden attached to the hotel, now called Terra Nostra Garden. Beginning in 1982, the Head Gardener embarked on a transformative journey, dedicating his expertise to the meticulous renovation and expansion of numerous botanical collections nestled within the garden's enchanting landscapes. Amongst the remarkable transformations, the revered camellias collection received special attention, as it underwent a comprehensive rejuvenation process under his skilful guidance. The recent publication of a global digital dataset of Camellia names provides the opportunity to publish the dataset of Camellia species, hybrids and its cultivars currently cultivated at Terra Nostra Garden with their validated names.
In June 2023, a total of 669 Camellia phenotypes were identified across the 12.5 hectares of Terra Nostra Garden. These phenotypes include 38 species, 178 hybrids and 637 cultivars. Camellia japonica represents 81.7% of the 459 species cultivars, while C. x williamsii accounts for 32% of 178 hybrid cultivars. The most prevalent genotypes in Camellia hybrids with known parentage are those of C. japonica, C. saluenensis and C. reticulata present respectively in 64.1%, 45.5% and 37.9% of the hybrids. Regarding cultivar registration, 46.9% were registered in the US, followed by 13% from Japan and 10.8% from Portugal. Although the most ancient cultivar registered growing at the garden is Camellia reticulata Lindl. 'Damanao' from 1621, the majority (69.4%) of cultivars in the garden were registered in the 20th century, followed by the 19th century cultivars (20.7%). One cultivar, Camellia 'Patrícia Bensaude Fernandes', was produced and registered specifically by this garden.

The Global Registry of Scientific Collections (GRSciColl), is a comprehensive and community-curated clearinghouse of collection information hosted in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) registry. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, institutions and the scientific community at large. GRSciColl provides information about physical scientific collections, including their content, location, contacts, and associated institutions. It also serves as a reference for institution and collection codes and identifiers.
The information available in GRSciColl is easily accessible through its website and the Application Programming Interface. Users can search for institutions and collections based on various attributes such as country, city, or preservation types. The GRSciColl lookup service enables the resolution of institution and collection codes and identifiers, promoting database interoperability and facilitating links with other systems.
One notable application of GRSciColl is the linking of specimen-related occurrences published on GBIF with institution and collection entries in GRSciColl. This linkage, based on institution and collection codes and identifiers, enables the aggregation of specimen-related occurrences under their respective GRSciColl-registered collections and institutions. This feature provides valuable insights into the progress of collection digitization efforts, regardless of the publishing method on GBIF. Moreover, GRSciColl's collaboration with Integrated Digitized Biocollections (iDigBio) and the United Kingdom Distributed System of Scientific Collections (DiSSCo UK) further enhances the visibility of collections by displaying their information on the iDigBio portal and on the UK Natural Sciences Collections Portal.
The information in GRSciColl is maintained by a community of editors, including representatives from registered institutions and national editors. The suggestion system enables anyone to contribute by updating, adding, or merging records, which are then reviewed by relevant individuals. GRSciColl also synchronizes regularly with external sources such as Index Herbariorum, ensuring up-to-date and reliable information.
In this presentation, we will highlight the ongoing work on improving GRSciColl. We will share our roadmap, give an update on how we are making GRSciColl compatible with the forthcoming Latimer Core standard (Woodburn et al. 2022), present the new GRSciColl web interface, and share opportuntities to get involved in the curation and development of GRSciColl.
By working together with the community, GRSciColl continues to evolve and provide a reliable platform to make collections more discoverable.

Published: August 2023

The design of render-mortars from construction and demolition waste (CDW) was evaluated. Fine aggregates from red-clay-brick waste, mortar and concrete waste were used, together with recycled expanded-polystyrene (EPS) as lightweight filler. Mixes composed of 70%-recycled aggregates, and 30% consisting of a matrix of Portland cement were produced. Characterization tests were conducted on the physical, mechanical, thermal, and acoustic properties. The render-mortar A4, A7 and A9 can be classified according to compressive strength results as CSI-W0 for interior use under standard UNE-EN-998-1. The A7 mortar, with the best physical and mechanical results, contained 21% EPS, 17.5% brick waste and 17.5% mortar waste. Mix A4 obtained the lowest thermal conductivity, 0.12 W/m·K - a reduction of 79% compared to the commercial-mortar AC1. The acoustic absorption properties were also enhanced by the incorporation of EPS, such that the A4, A7, and A9 mixes were identified as Absorbent for the frequencies of 2000 Hz and 4000 Hz.

Published: August 2023

The by-catch and discards from shrimp trawl fishery have increased during the last few years. Leiognathus sp. is one of the most discarded fish species in the shrimp trawling fishery in Jaffna, Sri Lanka. Lack of information was found regarding the nutrient composition of Leiognathus sp. and therefore the present study was carried out to assess the presence of amino acids and fatty acids in whole-dried and mince-dried fish which are beneficial for human health. The total sum of amino acids was estimated to be 229.8 and 174.4 mg/g raw protein percentages in whole-dried fish and minced-dried fish, respectively. The protein content of fish is mainly explained by the sum of the total amino acids identified. The total lipid was 5.5% and 7.3% in whole-dried fish and minced-dried fish, respectively. Proline and glycine were found to be the abundant amino acids in both whole-dried and minced-dried fish. A total of 13 fatty acids in whole-dried fish and 14 fatty acids in minced-dried fish were identified in the present study. The n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids were found to be one of the highly abundant compounds in this fish and docosahexaenoic acid is also considerably higher in amount. In the sense of higher availability of protein, storage of whole-dried fish will be a better option than minced-dried fish. Drying is one of the best and easiest methods to preserve this fish and dried fish products could be supplied to the local population at a low cost to overcome the nutrient deficiency among them. Alternatively, utilizing these bycatch fish is an effective method to reduce marine pollution as well.

Published: August 2023

The mangrove forests, which support the survival of both terrestrial and aquatic inhabitants, are considered some of the most productive ecosystems. Mangrove faunal diversity is well known for the vertebrates and invertebrates but is poorly known for insects. Mangroves and insects have strong relationships in which mangroves provide a suitable habitat for insect habitation. In contrast, the feeding activities of insects contribute to the litter detritus formation and sustainability of the mangrove ecosystem. They connect mangroves with adjoined terrestrial and marine ecosystems by their eco-services such as pollination, herbivory, predation, and being food for other predators. Lepidopterans, consisting of moths and butterflies, are the most widely recognized insects as indicators of the ecosystem's health and are considered in conservation strategies. As the information on the Lepidopteran fauna of mangrove has not been revealed in Sri Lanka, this study was performed to explore the diversity of butterflies and moths in the Mandaitivu mangrove ecosystem from August 2019 to March 2020 located in the Northern Province of Sri Lanka. True mangrove species such as Avicennia marina, Rhizophora mucronata, Ceriops tagal and Pemphis acidula are distributed as patches around this island. Adult as well as larval stages of butterflies and moths were collected from two different locations based on the abundance of the mangrove vegetation at the west and south border of the Mandaitivu Island through sweep netting and hand-picking methods. They were then identified based on their morphological characteristics. A total of 13 butterfly species, belonging to four families, and 6 moth species, belonging to three families were recorded. The highest species composition was recorded from Avicennia marina than Rhizophora mucronata which has fewer insects probably due to the thickness of their leaves. The plain tiger (Danaus chrysippus) was the most common and abundant butterfly followed by Mottled Emigrant (Catopsilia pyranthe) and the Small Salmon Arab (Colotis amata). The Yellow Pansy (Junonia hierta), the critically endangered (CR) species was also found. The other twelve species are listed as least concerned (LC) nationally. All the moth species recorded are listed as not assessed as per the IUCN red list. These results confirm that further extensive surveys in the Mandaitivu mangrove ecosystem will expose more diverse assemblages of lepidopterans that can be utilized in threat assessment and conservation strategy planning.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Phospholipase D4 (PLD4) is an endolysosomal exonuclease of ssRNA and ssDNA, rather than a phospholipase as its name suggests. Human polymorphisms in the PLD4 gene have been linked by genome-wide association studies to systemic sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. However, B6.129 Pld4−/− mice develop features of a distinct disease, macrophage activation syndrome, which is reversed in mice mutated in TLR9. In this article, we compare a Pld4 null mutant identified on the BALB/c background, Pld4thss/thss, which has distinct phenotypes: short stature, thin hair, and features of systemic lupus erythematosus. All phenotypes analyzed were largely normalized in Pld4thss/thssTlr9−/− mice. Thus, Pld4thss/thss represents a rare model in which mouse lupus etiology is TLR9 dependent. Compared with PLD4-deficient B6 mice, Pld4thss/thss mice had elevated levels of serum IgG, IgG anti-dsDNA autoantibodies, BAFF, and IFN-γ and elevated B cell numbers. Overall, the data suggest that PLD4 deficiency can lead to a diverse array of rheumatological abnormalities depending upon background-modifying genes, and that these diseases of PLD4 deficiency are largely driven by TLR9 recognition of ssDNA.

Published: August 2023

Antecedentes: la micosis fungoide foliculotropa (MFF) es considerada una variante agresiva y refractaria a los tratamientos por la presencia de foliculotropismo en la histopatología. Sin embargo, varias publicaciones recientes sugieren la existencia de un subgrupo de MFF con un pronóstico favorable y destacan la importancia de los criterios histopatológicos en los pacientes que presentan placas.
Objetivos: realizar un análisis de los pacientes con MFF y evaluar la sobrevida, en busca de la existencia de un subgrupo con pronóstico favorable.
Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de los pacientes con diagnóstico de MF clásica y MFF evaluados en el servicio de dermatología del Hospital Argerich entre enero de 2000 y febrero de 2022. Todos los pacientes fueron divididos en dos grupos para la estadificación: enfermedad temprana y enfermedad avanzada. En los pacientes con MFF y placas se revisaron los informes histopatológicos para la estadificación.
Resultados: de 50 pacientes con MFF, 15 presentaron un estadio temprano mientras que 28 fueron clasificados como estadio avanzado (IIB en adelante). Los 7 pacientes restantes (14%) fueron excluidos de la estadificación por falta de datos histológicos.
La sobrevida actuarial a 5 años fue de 71% en el grupo de MFF y de 95% en el grupo de MF clásica. Sin embargo, al analizar cada estadio por separado, se observó que la sobrevida en estadios tempranos de MFF fue similar a aquella en estadios tempranos de MF clásica.
Conclusiones: la MFF representó la variante más frecuente de MF. Con respecto a la sobrevida este trabajo demuestra la presencia de un subgrupo con pronóstico favorable conformado por aquellos pacientes con estadio temprano. La distinción histológica en el grupo de las placas permitió una mejor evaluación de la sobrevida.

Evaluating the capabilities and challenges of layer-fMRI VASO at 3T

Published: August 2023

Sub-millimeter functional imaging has the potential to capture cortical layer–specific functional information flow within and across brain systems. Recent sequence advancements of fMRI signal readout and contrast generations resulted in wide adaptation of layer-fMRI protocols across the global ultra-high-field (UHF) neuroimaging community. However, most layer-fMRI applications are confined to one of ~100 privileged UHF imaging centers, and sequence contrasts with unwanted sensitivity to large draining veins. In this work, we propose the application of vein-signal free vascular space occupancy (VASO) layer-fMRI sequences at widely accessible 3T scanners. Specifically, we implement, characterize, and apply a cerebral blood volume (CBV)-sensitive VASO fMRI at a 3T scanner setup, as it is typically used in the majority of cognitive neuroscience and clinical neuroscience fMRI studies. We find that the longer T2*, and stronger relative T1 contrast at 3T can account for some of the lower z-magnetization in the inversion-recovery VASO sequence compared with 7T and 9.4T. In the main series of experiments (N=16), we test the utility of this setup for motor tasks and find that—while being limited by thermal noise—3T layer-fMRI VASO is feasible within conventional scan durations. In a series of auxiliary studies, we furthermore explore the generalizability of the developed layer-fMRI protocols for a larger range of study designs including as follows: visual stimulation, whole-brain movie-watching paradigms, and cognitive tasks with weaker effect sizes. We hope that the developed imaging protocols will help to increase accessibility of vein-signal free layer-fMRI imaging tools to a wider community of neuroimaging centers.
