title: Growth rate dataset from The effect of insularity on avian growth rates and implications for insular body size evolution

description: Island populations often differ in consistent ways from their mainland counterparts with respect to their ecology, behaviour, morphology, demography and life-history characteristics; a set of changes referred to as the ‘island syndrome’. To understand the ecological and evolutionary drivers of the island syndrome requires characterization of suites of interacting traits. While patterns in some types of traits, e.g. body size, are well characterized across a range of taxa, key gaps remain. Growth rate is one such trait, being an important determinant of both increases and decreases in body size, and can vary with changes in predation pressure and food limitation; two factors that are known to differ between mainland and island environments. Using a phylogenetic meta-analytic approach, we characterize differences in growth rates among mainland and island altricial bird populations, controlling for environmental factors. We found a trend towards slower growth on islands in small-bodied (less than 1 kg) bird species. This is consistent with the idea that the pattern of body size increases in small-bodied island colonists is associated with the evolution of slower growth combined with shifts in age and size at maturity in relaxed predation regimes.

title: Supplementary Material for: Nomograms of Fetal Cardiac Dimensions at 18–41 Weeks of Gestation

description: <b><i>Objective:</i></b> There is a need for standardized reference values for cardiac dimensions in prenatal life. The objective of the present study was to construct nomograms for fetal cardiac dimensions using a well-defined echocardiographic methodology in a low-risk population. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This is a prospective cohort study including 602 low-risk singleton pregnancies undergoing a standardized fetal echocardiography to accurately assess fetal cardiac, ventricular, and atrial dimensions. Parametric regressions were tested to model each measurement against gestational age from 18 to 41 weeks of gestation. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Nomograms were constructed for fetal cardiac dimensions (transverse and longitudinal diameters and areas) of the whole heart, atria, and ventricles, as well as myocardial wall thicknesses. All dimensions showed a progressive increase with gestational age. The best model for most parameters was a second-degree linear polynomial. Fetal cardiac, ventricular, and atrial diameters and areas were successfully obtained in 98.6% of the fetuses, while myocardial wall thicknesses could be obtained in 96.5% of the population. The results showed excellent interobserver and intraobserver reproducibility (intraclass correlation coefficient, ICC &gt; 0.811 and ICC &gt; 0.957, respectively). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> We provide standardized and comprehensively evaluated reference values for fetal cardiac morphometric parameters across gestation in a low-risk population. These no mograms would enable the early identification of different patterns of fetal cardiac remodeling.

title: Supplementary Material for: Early-Life Environmental Factors, IFN-γ Methylation Patterns, and Childhood Allergic Rhinitis

description: <b><i>Background:</i></b> While early-life risk factors are known to influence the risk of allergies, the biological mechanisms underlying this observation are unclear. The aim of this study was to examine whether DNA methylation in childhood could underlie the association between early-life risk factors and allergic rhinitis (AR). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In total, 234 patients, aged 6 years, were recruited, i.e., 114 were patients with AR (AR group) and 120 healthy children without AR (NAR group). The DNA methylation patterns of the <i>IFN-γ</i> promoter regions in CD4+ cells were analyzed using bisulfite sequencing. The percentage of Th1 was investigated by flow cytometry. The relationship among DNA methylation, early-life environment, and AR was examined. <b><i>Results:</i></b> After adjusting for several likely confounders, there was a higher likelihood of AR in children who had mothers with allergies than in children who had nonallergic mothers (OR = 5.19; 95% CI 1.18–29.41), in children who were born in autumn or winter than in children who were born in the summer or spring (OR = 2.69; 95% CI 1.34–5.40), and in children who lived with indoor carpet or wallpaper than in children who lived without indoor carpet or wallpaper (OR = 4.14; 95% CI 2.05–8.30). Compared to the NAR group, the AR group had higher mean methylation levels of the promoter region in <i>IFN-γY</i>, and lower numbers of IFN-γ+CD4+ cells were associated with autumn-winter birthdates. The season of birth had an indirect effect on AR at 6 years, which was mediated by the mean <i>IFN-γ</i> promoter methylation level. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> This study suggests that early-life environments affect AR, and this is supported by the finding of <i>IFN-γY</i> methylation as a mediator of the effect of an individual’s season of birth on AR.
