description: With the intensification of human activities, fresh water resources are increasingly being exposed to contamination from effluent disposal to land. Thus, there is a greater need to identify the sources and pathways of water contamination to enable the development of better mitigation strategies. To track discharges of domestic effluent into soil and groundwater, 10 synthetic double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) tracers were developed in this study. Laboratory column experiment and field groundwater and soil lysimeter studies were carried out spiking DNA with oxidation-pond domestic effluent. The selected DNA tracers were compared with a non-reactive bromide (Br) tracer with respect to their relative mass recoveries, speeds of travel and dispersions using the method of temporal moments. In intact stony soil and gravel aquifer media, the dsDNA tracers typically showed earlier breakthrough and less dispersion than the Br tracer, and underwent mass reduction. This suggests that the dsDNA tracers were predominantly transported through the network of larger pores or preferential flow paths. Effluent tracking experiments in soil and groundwater demonstrated that the dsDNA tracers were readily detectable in effluent-contaminated soil and groundwater using quantitative polymerase chain reaction. DNA tracer spiked in the effluent at quantities of 36 μg was detected in groundwater 37 m down-gradient at a concentration 3-orders of magnitude above the detection limit. It is anticipated it could be detected at far greater distances. Our findings suggest that synthetic dsDNA tracers are promising for tracking effluent discharges in soils and groundwater but further studies are needed to investigate DNA-effluent interaction and the impact of subsurface environmental conditions on DNA attenuation. With further validation, synthetic dsDNA tracers, especially when multiple DNA tracers are used concurrently, can be an effective new tool to track effluent discharge in soils and groundwater, providing spatial estimation on the presence or absence of contamination sources and pathways.

description: Sperm competition theory predicts that males should tailor ejaculates according to their social status. Here, we test this in a model vertebrate, the house mouse (Mus musculus domesticus), combining experimental data with a quantitative proteomics analysis of seminal fluid composition. Our analyses reveal that both sperm production and the composition of proteins found in seminal vesicle secretions differ according to social status. Dominant males invested more in ejaculate production overall. Their epididymides contained more sperm than those of subordinate or control males, despite similar testes size between the groups. Dominant males also had larger seminal vesicle glands than subordinate or control males, despite similar body size. However, the seminal vesicle secretions of subordinate males had a significantly higher protein concentration than those of dominant males. Moreover, detailed proteomic analysis revealed subtle but consistent differences in the composition of secreted seminal vesicle proteins according to social status, involving multiple proteins of potential functional significance in sperm competition. These findings have significant implications for understanding the dynamics and outcome of sperm competition, and highlight the importance of social status as a factor influencing both sperm and seminal fluid investment strategies.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Fifty years of sperm competition’.

description: A 47-year-old Tongan male returning to New Zealand after a 2-week holiday in Tonga presented with 3 days of progressive limb weakness, numbness, unsteady gait, and dyspnea. Two days before departing Tonga (6 days before neurologic symptoms), he developed leg swelling with erythematous and pustular lesions, which were treated with flucloxacillin. He had no medical history, was not taking regular medication, and had a 20 pack-year smoking history.Examination findings included the following: afebrile, pulse 80 beats/min, blood pressure 150/90 mm Hg, respiration 20 breaths/min, and oxygen saturation 98% (air). Cardiovascular and abdominal examinations were unremarkable. Cranial nerves and eye movements were normal. Limbs were hypotonic with globally reduced power (4/5), areflexia, and absent plantar responses. Temperature and pain sensation were impaired in hands and feet. Proprioception and vibratory sensation were impaired in the feet. Romberg test was positive.

description: The relationship between weather and influenza and pneumonia mortality was examined retrospectively using daily data from 1980 to 2009 in Auckland, New Zealand, a humid, subtropical location. Mortality events, defined when mortality exceeded 0·95 standard deviation above the mean, followed periods of anomalously cold air (ta.m. = -4·1, P < 0·01; tp.m. = -4·2, P < 0·01) and/or anomalously dry air (ta.m. = -4·1, P < 0·01; tp.m. = -3·8, P < 0·01) by up to 19 days. These results suggest that respiratory infection is enhanced during unusually cold conditions and during conditions with unusually low humidity, even in a subtropical location where humidity is typically high.

description: It is becoming increasingly apparent that contextual information can exert a considerable influence on decisions about forensic evidence. Here, we explored accuracy and contextual influence in bloodstain pattern classification, and how these variables might relate to analyst characteristics. Thirty-nine bloodstain pattern analysts with varying degrees of experience each completed measures of compliance, decision-making style, and need for closure. Analysts then examined a bloodstain pattern without any additional contextual information, and allocated votes to listed pattern types according to favoured and less favoured classifications. Next, if they believed it would assist with their classification, analysts could request items of contextual information - from commonly encountered sources of information in bloodstain pattern analysis - and update their vote allocation. We calculated a shift score for each item of contextual information based on vote reallocation. Almost all forms of contextual information influenced decision-making, with medical findings leading to the highest shift scores. Although there was a small positive association between shift scores and the degree to which analysts displayed an intuitive decision-making style, shift scores did not vary meaningfully as a function of experience or the other characteristics measured. Almost all of the erroneous classifications were made by novice analysts.

description: Genus Laelius Ashmead, 1893
One species of this genus, Laelius microneurus, was reported previously from Britain and was keyed by Perkins (1976). Recent taxonomic work has shown that this species should be called L. femoralis (see below for discussion and synonymy). A second species, L. pedatus, is newly reported here from Britain. The two species may be identified from the key by Vikberg & Koponen (2005); a simplified key is presented here for the British species.

description: The Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG) represents a next-generation platform designed to structure scholarly contributions as a knowledge graph, enhancing the readability for both machines and humans. This thesis investigates the structured representation of research, particularly identifying universally applicable dimensions across various fields to facilitate comparisons on similar research issues. By analyzing comparison tables from selected survey articles across ten STEM domains—including Agriculture, Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, Engineering, Materials Science, Mathematics, and Medicine—the research delineates both domain-independent and domain-dependent dimensions. Furthermore, this study explores the capability of generative AI technologies, like ChatGPT, to predict these dimensions, paralleling human annotation. The findings contribute to the development of advanced generative-AI-powered search systems like ORKG Ask, which could standardize research comparison dimensions across specific problems while accommodating domain specificity elsewhere. The thesis culminates in the creation of multiple ORKG templates, comparisons, and reviews, laying groundwork for future developments in scholarly communication.

description: BACKGROUND:Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) and rheumatic heart disease (RHD) are responsible for a significant disease burden amongst Māori and Pacific populations in New Zealand (NZ). However, contemporary data are lacking regarding circulating group A Streptococcal (GAS) strains in NZ. Such information is important in guiding vaccine development.
METHODS:GAS isolates from April to June 2015 were recovered from skin and pharyngeal samples from children living in areas of high social deprivation in Auckland, NZ, a significant proportion of which are Māori or Pacific. These children are among the highest risk group for developing ARF. Isolates were compared to concurrently collected pharyngeal isolates from Dunedin, NZ, where both the proportion of Māori and Pacific children and risk of developing ARF is low. Emm typing, emm cluster typing and theoretical coverage of the 30-valent vaccine candidate were undertaken as previously described.RESULTS:A high diversity of emm types and a high proportion of emm-pattern D and cluster D4 isolates were detected amongst both skin and pharyngeal isolates in children at high risk of ARF. Pharyngeal isolates from children at low risk of ARF within the same country were significantly less diverse, less likely to be emm pattern D, and more likely to be theoretically covered by the 30-valent M protein vaccine.
CONCLUSIONS:The high proportion of emm pattern D GAS strains amongst skin and pharyngeal isolates from children at high risk of ARF raises further questions about the role of skin infection in ARF pathogenesis. Emm types and emm clusters differed considerably between ARF endemic and non-endemic settings, even within the same country. This difference should be taken into account for vaccine development.

Allepyris microneurus Kieffer, 1906: 416-417 (syn. nov.).
Allepyris nigricrus Kieffer, 1906: 417 (syn. nov.).
Identification
Material (previously identified as L. microneurus) in BMNH was reidentified according to the key by Vikberg & Koponen (1995) to confirm the presence of L. femoralis in Britain.
Material examined
ENGLAND: Berkshire, Silwood Park, 18 Aug. 1975, dead spruce, O.W. Richards, B.M.1967-510; Kent, Beckenham, 9 Jul. 1972, D.E. Kimmins; Surrey, Kew, 17 Jul. 1977, from Crataegus Linnaeus, 1753, specimen number 15,576, V.F. Eastop (all BMNH).
Remarks
Berland (1928) studied the female types of L. macrocerus and L. nigricrus (in Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris) and could not find any difference between them, so he synonymised the two names. It was first suggested that L. microneurus was a synonym of L. femoralis by de Rond (in Vikberg & Koponen 2005) and from subsequent examination of all the types, including the female neotype of L. femoralis (in the Nationaal Natuurhistorisch Museum, Leiden), de Rond has come to the conclusion that both L. microneurus and L. nigricrus are junior synonyms of L. femoralis. This means that the species in Britain referred to as L. microneurus by Perkins (1976) should now be called L. femoralis.

description: The detection of messenger RNA (mRNA) using reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) is becoming common practice for forensic body fluid identification. However, the degraded and scarce nature of RNA from forensic samples mean that mRNA transcripts are not consistently detected or remain undetected in practice. Conventional primer design for RT-PCR (and quantitative RT-PCR) includes targeting primers to span exon-exon boundaries or by having the primers on two separate exons, and satisfying common primer thermodynamic criteria. We have found that the conventional placement of primers is not always optimal for obtaining reproducible results from degraded samples. Using massively parallel sequencing data from degraded body fluids, we designed primers to amplify transcript regions of high read coverage, hence, higher stability, and compared these with primers designed using conventional methodology. Our findings are that primers designed for transcript regions of higher read coverage resulted in vastly improved detection of mRNA transcripts that were not previously detected or were not consistently detected in the same samples using conventional primers. We developed a new concept whereby primers targeted to transcript stable regions (StaRs) are able to consistently and specifically amplify a wide range of RNA biomarkers in various body fluids of varying degradation levels.

Aquatic macrophytes as bioindicators of heavy metals contamination in estuarine ecosystems

description: The use of aquatic plants as metal bioindicators may be a suitable tool for the management of aquatic ecosystems as they play an important role in the geochemical composition of water and sediments. This study evaluated the potential use of autochthonous aquatic macrophytes, Veronica anagallis-aquatica and Cakile maritima as bioindicators of cadmium, chromium, lead, zinc, and copper contamination in wetlands and their role on metal cycling. The content and distribution of these elements in roots, stems and leaves were compared in specimens collected in two estuaries with different anthropogenic pressures (Douro and Ave) and in the corresponding water and sediments. Differences on metals content were found on both species and were dependent on the estuary. No positive correlation was found between plant and water metals concentration, but a positive correlation was observed for sediments, except for Cr and Cd. Bioaccumulation and translocation factors showed that both species can contribute to the immobilization of Pb and Cd in Douro estuary in contrast to Ave estuary. These results demonstrate the influence of local environmental conditions in the bioaccumulation of in situ aquatic plants and suggest their potential use as bioindicators and for the management (phytoextraction and phytostabilization) of aquatic contaminated ecosystems.

description: An electronic Influenza like Illness surveillance system developed to support general practices to electronically notify the cases of influenza like illness (ILI) for national sentinel surveillance in New Zealand. Content analysis was performed to capture the information necessary for ILI surveillance. An online form was implemented within the patient management system to record the details of ILI cases. A middleware framework was developed to manage the information flow between GPs and national influenza surveillance coordinators. The framework used an HL7 version 2.4 messaging standard to receive the notification data and Rhapsody integration engines to parse the message and store the information in national ILI data base. This paper presents the system design and implementation details of electronic ILI notification system. It presents data model designed to capture information for ILI case along with the HL7 messages structure implemented in the system.

description: Root foraging may increase plant nutrient acquisition at the cost of reducing the total volume of soil explored, thereby reducing the chance of the roots encountering additional patches. Patches in soil seldom contain just one nutrient: the patch may also have distinct textural, hydrological, and toxicological characteristics. We sought to determine the characteristics of root foraging by a pioneering species, Leptospermum scoparium, using pot trials and rhizobox experiments with patches of biosolids. The growth of L. scoparium was increased by <50 t/ha equiv. of biosolids but higher doses were inhibitory. Roots foraged patches of biosolids in a low-fertility soil. There was no evidence of chemotaxis, rather, the roots proliferated toward the patch of biosolids, following chemical gradients of nitrate. While the biosolids also contained high concentrations of other nutrients (P, K, and S), only significant chemical gradients of nitrate were found. Once the roots encountered a patch of biosolids, the growth of the plant increased to a level similar to plants growing in soil homogeneously mixed with biosolids or surface-applied biosolids. Our results indicate that roots forage nitrate, which is mobile in soil, and that gradients of nitrate may lead to patches containing other less mobile nutrients, such as phosphate or potassium.

description: Biowastes are unwanted materials of biological origin. They include biosolids, dairy shed effluent, and sawdust. When applied to soil, biowastes can provide plant nutrients, but also introduce heavy metals, pathogens, or xenobiotics. Biowastes could improve degraded or low-fertility soils and generate revenue through the production of non-food products such as essential oils. We grew New Zealand native plants, mānuka (Leptospermum scoparium J.R. Forst & G. Forst) and kānuka (Kunzea robusta de Lange & Toelken) in series of greenhouse experiments in low-to-medium-fertility soils (Bideford clay loam, Lismore stony silt loam, and Pawson silt loam) amended with either biosolids (up to 13500 kg N ha−1 equiv.), biosolids + sawdust (1:0.5–1250 kg N ha−1 equiv.) and dairy shed effluent (200 kg N ha−1 equiv.). Two types of biosolids from Kaikoura (KB) and Christchurch City Council (CB) were used in the experiments. CB (1500 kg N ha−1 equiv.) and dairy shed effluent (200 kg N ha−1 equiv.) increased the biomass of L. scoparium by up to 120% and 31%, and K. robusta by up to 170% and 34%, respectively.

description: When soil is contaminated with silver (Ag), plants take up Ag and is concentrated in roots and leaves, with its effects reflected in crop health and yield. This study investigated the toxicity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and silver nitrate (AgNO3 as Ag+) to sunflower seeds grown in soils amended with 150 mg/kg of Ag either as AgNPs or AgNO3. Exposure of the sunflower seeds to soils amended with Ag increased plant lipid peroxidation, activities of antioxidants enzymes (catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione-S-transferase), peroxidases (glutathione peroxidase pyrogallol peroxidase, guaiacol peroxidase), oxidases (ascorbate oxidase), urease, total phenolic compounds, vitamins (retinols, alpha-tocopherol and L-ascorbic acid) but inhibited chlorophyll, total carotenoids, total soluble carbohydrates, phenolic compounds and total soluble proteins. In general, AgNO3 increased the above-mentioned parameters in sunflower more than did AgNPs, except for the tested vitamins, which were more affected by AgNPs. The results showed that Ag accumulation in the root > leaf > stem and human food security risk is enhanced in sunflower seeds exposed to Ag compounds.

description: This publication provides an overview of datasets that were mobilised through the LIFE MICA project. This European co-funded LIFE project tested innovative techniques for a more efficient control of invasive muskrat and coypu populations and sought to enhance cross-border cooperation between the Netherlands, Germany (Lower Saxony), and Belgium (Flanders) by centralising data on the occurrence and management of invasive alien rodents (LIFE MICA 2023).

These datasets contain records of muskrat, coypu and their management. They were published on the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) as one of the project outputs and were used for creating an online Muskrat and Coypu monitor to visualize and explore occurrences of aquatic rodents and their management (Cartuyvels et al. 2024).

For every dataset, a short description is provided of the data publisher, the taxonomical, temporal and spatial scope of the data, the information and the number of records contained in the dataset. The description also includes a method step description of the publication flow.

description: Cadmium accumulates in soils that receive repeated applications of Cd-rich superphosphate fertilizers. There is evidence that adding clovers to a crop solubilizes soil Cd, increasing the bioavailability of Cd. This can lead to high plant Cd concentrations. This research aimed to test whether liming-induced increases in pH in mixed crops of clovers and ryegrasses reduced forage Cd concentrations. A greenhouse pot trial applied lime at three rates (0, 1, and 2% of soil dry weight) to eight different plant treatments-four as monocultures (perennial ryegrass [ L.], Italian ryegrass [ Lam.], white clover [ L.], and red clover [ L.]) and four as ryegrass-clover mixtures (two plant types in each treatment)-in soil (initial soil pH = 5.1, initial soil Cd concentration = 1.31 mg kg) with added Cd (CdSO ∼ 1 mg kg). Adding lime increased soil pH in both mono- and mixed crops and, in most treatments, increased forage yields. However, the relationship between forage Cd and soil pH differed between plant treatments. In mono- and mixed crop treatments containing perennial ryegrass, adding lime increased the forage yield but did not increase the mass of Cd in the plants compared with the no-lime treatment. However, adding lime to treatments that included Italian ryegrass increased both the forage yield and the Cd compared with the no-lime treatment. The results show that a combination of certain plant species composition and lime rates can optimize forage yields without increasing forage Cd concentrations.
