title: Corporatization, administrative intensity and the performance of public sector organizations

description: The process of corporatization in public services has led to the emergence
 of new, more autonomous organizational forms. However, while these reforms
 have been centrally about the development of management capabilities in
 public sector organizations, we know surprisingly little about what this
 process involves. To address this concern, we draw on the literature on
 administrative intensity (AI) to frame hypotheses about the likely
 relationship between corporatization and investments in management and
 administration, and the consequences of these investments for performance.
 As an empirical case, we then focus on the effects of Foundation Trust
 status on AI and efficiency, effectiveness and responsiveness in the acute
 care hospital sector in the English NHS. Based on a database of nine years
 (2008/09–2016/17) and dynamic panel data regressions, the results show
 that corporatization leads to a leaner administration and improved
 organizational efficiency, effectiveness and responsiveness. In addition,
 the analysis reveals that lower levels of AI positively mediate the
 relationship between corporatization and performance, although only in
 relation to the efficiency dimension. These findings highlight the
 crucial, but previously misunderstood, importance of lean administration
 as part of the corporatization reform package, with implications for
 theory, research and policy.

title: Data for: A new GTSeq resource to facilitate multijurisdictional research and management of walleye Sander vitreus

description: Conservation and management professionals often work across jurisdictional
 boundaries to identify broad ecological patterns.  These
 collaborations help to protect populations whose distributions span
 political borders. One common limitation to multijurisdictional
 collaboration is consistency in data recording and reporting. This
 limitation can impact genetic research which relies on data about specific
 markers in an organism’s genome. Incomplete overlap of markers between
 separate studies can prevent direct comparisons of results. 
 Standardized marker panels can reduce the impact of this issue and provide
 a common starting place for new research. Genotyping-in-thousands (GTSeq)
 is one approach used to create standardized marker panels for non-model
 organisms. Here we describe the development, optimization, and early
 assessments of a new GTSeq panel for use with walleye (Sander vitreus)
 from the Great Lakes region of North America. High genome-coverage
 sequencing conducted using RAD-capture provided genotypes for thousands of
 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). From these markers, SNP and
 microhaplotype markers were chosen that were informative for genetic stock
 identification (GSI) and kinship analysis.  The final GTSeq panel
 contained 500 markers, including 197 microhaplotypes and 303 SNPs.
 Leave-one-out GSI simulations indicated that GSI accuracy should be
 greater than 80% in most jurisdictions. The false positive rates of
 parent-offspring and full-sibling kinship identification was found to be
 low. Finally, genotypes could be consistently scored among separate
 sequencing runs &gt;94% of the time. Results indicate that the GTSeq
 panel that we developed should perform well for multijurisdictional
 walleye research throughout the Great Lakes region.

title: Data from: Distinct developmental trajectories for risky and impulsive decision-making in chimpanzees

description: Human adolescence is characterized by a suite of changes in
 decision-making and emotional regulation that promote risky and impulsive
 behavior. Accumulating evidence suggests that behavioral and physiological
 shifts seen in human adolescence are shared by some primates, yet it is
 unclear if the same cognitive mechanisms are recruited. We examined
 developmental changes in risky choice, inter-temporal choice, and
 emotional responses to decision outcomes in chimpanzees, our
 closest-living relatives. We found that adolescent chimpanzees were more
 risk-seeking than adults, as in humans. However, chimpanzees showed no
 developmental change in inter-temporal choice, unlike humans, although
 younger chimpanzees did exhibit elevated emotional reactivity to waiting
 compared to adults. Comparisons of cortisol and testosterone indicated
 robust age-related variation in these biomarkers, and patterns of
 individual differences in choices, emotional reactivity, and hormones also
 supported a developmental dissociation between risk and choice
 impulsivity.  These results show that some but not all core
 features of human adolescent decision-making are shared with chimpanzees.

title: RNASeq data from vomocytes (dendritic cells and macrophages)

description: Cryptococcus neoformans (CN) cells survive within the acidic phagolysosome
 of macrophages (MΦ) for extended times, then escape without impacting the
 viability of the host cell via a phenomenon that has been coined
 ‘vomocytosis’. Through this mechanism, CN disseminates throughout the
 body, sometimes resulting in a potentially fatal condition – Cryptococcal
 Meningitis (CM). Justifiably, vomocytosis studies have focused primarily
 on MΦ, as alveolar MΦ within the lung act as first responders that
 ultimately expel this fungal pathogen. Herein, we hypothesize that
 dendritic cells (DCs), an innate immune cell with attributes that include
 phagocytosis and antigen presentation, can also act as ‘vomocytes’.
 Presciently, this report shows that vomocytosis of CN indeed occurs from
 murine, bone marrow-derived DCs. Primarily through time-lapse microscopy
 imaging, we show that rates of vomocytosis events from DCs are comparable
 to those seen from MΦ and further, are independent of the presence of the
 CN capsule and infection ratios. Moreover, phagosome-altering drugs such
 as chloroquine and bafilomycin A inhibit this phenomenon from DCs.
 Although DC immunophenotype does not affect the total number of vomocytic
 events, we observed differences in the numbers of CN per phagosome and
 expulsion times. Interestingly, these observations were similar in murine,
 bone marrow-derived MΦ. This work not only demonstrates the vomocytic
 ability of DCs but also investigates the complexity of vomocytosis
 regulation in this cell type and MΦ under multiple modulatory conditions.
 Understanding the vomocytic behavior of different phagocytes and their
 phenotypic subtypes is needed to help elucidate the full picture of the
 dynamic interplay between CN and the immune system. Critically, deeper
 insight into vomocytosis could reveal novel approaches to treat CM, as
 well as other immune-related conditions.

title: Evaluation of Ortho VITROS and Roche Elecsys S and NC immunoassays for SARS-CoV-2 serosurveillance applications

description: SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence studies are instrumental in monitoring epidemic
 activity and require well-characterized, high-throughput assays,
 and appropriate testing algorithms. The U.S. Nationwide Blood Donor
 Seroprevalence Study performed monthly cross-sectional serological testing
 from July 2020 to December 2021, implementing evolving testing algorithms
 in response to changes in pandemic activity. With high vaccine uptake,
 anti-Spike (S) reactivity rates reached &gt; 80% by May 2021, and the
 study pivoted from reflex Roche anti-nucleocapsid (NC) testing of Ortho
 S-reactive specimens to parallel Ortho S/NC testing. We evaluated the
 performance of the Ortho NC assay as a replacement for the Roche NC assay
 and compared performance of parallel S/NC testing on both platforms.
 Qualitative and quantitative agreement of Ortho NC with Roche NC assays
 was evaluated on pre-selected S/NC concordant and discordant specimens.
 All 190 Ortho S+/Roche NC+ specimens were reactive on the Ortho NC assay;
 34% of 367 Ortho S+/Roche NC- specimens collected prior to vaccine
 availability and 43% of 37 Ortho S-/Roche NC+ specimens were reactive on
 the Ortho NC assay. Performance of parallel S/NC testing using Ortho and
 Roche platforms was evaluated on 200 specimens collected in 2019 and 3,903
 study specimens collected in 2021. All 200 pre-COVID 2019 specimens tested
 negative on the four assays. Agreement of S and NC reactivity on specimens
 was 96.4% (3,769/3,903); most discordant results had reactivity close to
 the cutoffs on the alternate assays. These findings, and higher efficiency
 and throughput, support use of parallel S/NC testing on either Roche or
 Ortho platforms for large serosurveillance studies.

title: Belowground net primary productivity stability in response to a nitrogen addition gradient in an alpine meadow

description: 1.Temporal stability of ecosystem productivity is important for providing
 reliable ecosystem services under global changes. Great efforts have been
 made to explore the response of aboveground net primary productivity
 (ANPP) stability to nitrogen (N) enrichment, yet how it affects
 belowground net primary productivity (BNPP) stability remains elusive,
 which hinders a comprehensive understanding of ecosystem stability from
 the view of a whole system. 2. Here, using a field manipulative experiment
 with six N addition rates (0, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 g N m-2 year-1), we explored
 the response patterns and drivers of BNPP stability in the topsoil (0-20
 cm) and subsoil (20-40 cm) in the alpine meadow. 3. The results showed
 that BNPP stability at both soil depths showed a unimodal response to
 increasing N addition rates. Specifically, for both the topsoil and
 subsoil, low-level N addition significantly promoted BNPP stability, while
 high doses of N addition had no significant impact on BNPP stability,
 suggesting that current low level of N deposition likely benefits the
 stable provision of belowground functioning. Furthermore, dominant species
 stability and species richness contributed most to the changes in BNPP
 stability in the topsoil, whereas only dominant species stability was the
 dominant driver of BNPP stability in the subsoil. 4. This study is among
 the first to illuminate the main mechanisms underlying the responses of
 BNPP stability to N enrichment at various soil depths, which will advance
 our current understanding of N addition effects on belowground processes
 and benefit the sustainable provision of ecosystem functioning in the
 context of atmospheric N deposition.

title: Data from: Breaking down the components of the competition-colonization trade-off: new insights into its role in diverse systems

description: 1. Performance trade-offs between competition and colonization can be an
 important mechanism facilitating regional coexistence of competitors.
 However, empirical evidence for this trade-off is mixed, raising questions
 about the extent to which it shapes diverse ecological communities. Here
 we outline a framework that can be used to improve empirical tests of the
 competition-colonization trade-off. 2. We argue that tests of the
 competition-colonization trade-off have been diverted into unproductive
 paths when dispersal mode and/or competition type have been inadequately
 defined. To generate comparative predictions of associations between
 dispersal and competitive performance, we develop a conceptual trait-based
 framework that clarifies how dispersal mode and type of competitor shape
 this trade-off at the stage of dispersal and establishment in a variety of
 systems. Our framework suggests that competition-colonization trade-offs
 may be less common for passively dispersing organisms when competitive
 dominants are those best able to withstand resource depletion (competitive
 response), and for active dispersers when traits for dispersal performance
 are positively associated with resource pre-emption (competitive effect).
 3. The framework presented here is designed to provide common ground for
 researchers working in different systems in order to prompt more effective
 assessment of this performance trade-off and its role in shaping community
 structure. By delineating key system properties that mediate the trade-off
 between competitive and colonization performance and their relationship to
 individual-level traits, researchers in disparate systems can structure
 their predictions about this trade-off more effectively and compare across
 systems more clearly.

title: Female-female aggression in the Gila Monster (Heloderma suspectum)

description: Historically, the role of aggression in the social lives of animals
 overwhelmingly focused on males. In recent years, however, female-female
 aggression in vertebrates, particularly lizards, has received increasing
 attention. This growing body of literature shows both similarities and
 differences to aggressive behaviours between males. Here, we document
 female-female aggression in captive Gila monsters (Heloderma suspectum).
 Based on four unique dyadic trials (eight adult female subjects), we
 developed a qualitative ethogram. Unexpected and most intriguing were the
 prevalence and intensity of aggressive acts that included brief and
 sustained biting, envenomation, and lateral rotation (i.e., rolling of
 body while holding onto opponent with closed jaws). Given specific
 behavioural acts (i.e., biting) and the results of bite-force experiments,
 we postulate that osteoderms (bony deposits in the skin) offer some degree
 of protection and reduce the likelihood of serious injury during
 female-female fights. Male-male contests in H. suspectum, in contrast, are
 more ritualized, and biting is rarely reported. Female-female aggression
 in other lizards has a role in territoriality, courtship tactics, and nest
 and offspring guarding. Future behavioural research on aggression in
 female Gila monsters is warranted to test these and other hypotheses in
 the laboratory and field.

title: Tradeoffs and benefits explain scaling, sex differences, and seasonal oscillations in the remarkable weapons of snapping shrimp (Alpheus spp.)

description: Evolutionary theory suggests that individuals should express costly traits
 at a magnitude that optimizes the cost-benefit ratio for the trait-bearer.
 Trait expression varies across a species because costs and benefits vary
 among individuals. For example, if large individuals pay lower costs than
 small individuals, then larger individuals should reach optimal
 cost-benefit ratios at a greater magnitude of trait expression. Using the
 remarkable cavitation-shooting weapons found in the big claws of male and
 female alpheid snapping shrimp, we test whether size- and sex-dependent
 expenditures explain the scaling of weapon size relative to body size and
 why males have larger proportional weapon size than females. We found that
 males and females from three snapping shrimp species (Alpheus
 heterochaelis, Alpheus angulosus, and Alpheus estuariensis) exhibit
 resource allocation tradeoffs between weapon and abdomen mass. For male A.
 heterochaelis, the species for which we had the greatest sample size and
 statistical power, the smallest individuals showed the steepest tradeoff.
 Our extensive dataset in A. heterochaelis also included data about
 pairing, breeding season, and egg clutch size. Therefore, we could test
 for reproductive tradeoffs and benefits in this species. Female A.
 heterochaelis exhibited additional tradeoffs between weapon size and egg
 count, average egg volume, and total egg mass volume. For average egg
 volume, the smallest females exhibited the steepest tradeoff relative to
 weapon size. Furthermore, for both sexes, large weapons were positively
 correlated with the relative size of their pair mate; however, for males
 only, large weapons were positively correlated with being paired in the
 first place. In conclusion, we establish that size-dependent tradeoffs
 underlie reliable scaling relationships of costly traits. Furthermore, we
 show that males and females differ in weapon investment, suggesting that
 weapons are especially beneficial to males and especially burdensome to
 females.

title: Data for: Plant and herbivorous insect communities respond in complex ways to rainfall manipulation in an oak savanna grassland

description: Changes in precipitation due to climate change will have consequences for
 plant and herbivorous insect communities alike. Multiple hypotheses
 explain how changes in plant diversity and productivity can lead to
 changes in herbivore community composition. Yet as rainfall patterns
 change, the bottom-up effects on the relationships between plant and
 herbivore communities are less well understood. Using a long-term rainfall
 manipulation experiment in a remnant patch of Garry oak (Quercus garryana)
 savanna, we examined how plant diversity and productivity have responded
 to variation in soil moisture over six years. This highly endangered
 ecosystem is predicted to experience significantly wetter springs and
 drier summers by 2080. We also investigated plant-mediated, indirect
 effects of manipulated rainfall on herbivore diversity and abundance,
 drawing on multiple hypotheses describing the relationships between plant
 and herbivore communities. For example, the more individuals hypothesis
 predicts that increased plant productivity results in increased herbivore
 abundance which in turn results in increased herbivore diversity. We found
 that plant productivity was influenced by soil moisture, but the direction
 and magnitude of the response varied across years, and no support for
 plant diversity influencing productivity. We also found that the cover and
 productivity of grasses increased significantly with increasing
 precipitation. In addition to a significant direct effect on herbivore
 diversity, soil moisture had a significant indirect negative effect on
 herbivore abundance, via the negative effect of plant productivity on
 abundance, contradicting the more individuals hypothesis. Synthesis: Our
 results highlight that not only can drought result in significant
 reductions in plant productivity in this threatened ecosystem, but that
 these changes will also result in increases in herbivore abundance. In
 contrast, where soil moisture is higher, grasses will become more dominant
 resulting in decreased abundance. Ultimately, predicting how this system
 responds to changes in precipitation will depend on the ability to predict
 whether growing season soil moisture will be consistently drier or wetter
 in the future, a significant challenge. Going forward, investigating how
 variation in precipitation due to climate change affects the links between
 trophic levels, including how herbivores affect plant communities, remains
 critical for understanding ecosystem processes and stability.
