title: Data from: Plasticity and habitat choice match color to function in an ambush bug

description: Individuals aim to maximize their fitness by matching their own phenotype
 to the optimum phenotype in their environment. Individuals can achieve
 matching through several mechanism including habitat choice and adaptive
 plasticity. A key trait of interest to biologists is color, with
 background matching reciprocally camouflaging predators and prey. However,
 the multiple mechanisms matching an individual’s color to their
 background, and its consequences for function (e.g. species interactions),
 are rarely explored simultaneously. Here we investigate color variation in
 ambush bugs, Phymata americana, that feed on insects visiting white and
 yellow flowers. We conducted surveys of wild populations to establish
 phenotype-environment matching and its effects on prey capture, then
 performed habitat choice and plasticity (color change) trials to test for
 the mechanisms underlying putative patterns of habitat matching. Ambush
 bugs matched their background—yellower ambush bugs were found on yellow
 flowers and whiter ambush bugs on white flowers, and matching increased
 prey capture. This pattern was seemingly driven by a combination of
 plasticity and habitat choice. Ambush bugs were able to become more
 yellow, especially when on yellow backgrounds; and individuals preferred
 yellow flowers, especially when they were found on yellow habitats. Our
 study highlights how organisms can optimize trait values through a
 combination of plasticity and habitat choice with tangible effects on
 individual performance. We suggest that multiple mechanisms interactively
 shape phenotypes, optimizing function and fitness in the wild.

title: Linking socioeconomic inequalities and type 2 diabetes through obesity and lifestyle factors among Mexican adults: a structural equations modeling approach

description: Objective. To assess the association between type 2 dia­betes
 (DM2) and socioeconomic inequalities, mediated by the contribution of body
 mass index (BMI), physical activity (PA), and diet
 (diet-DII). Materials and methods. We conducted a cross-sectional
 analysis using data of adults participating in the Diabetes Mellitus
 Survey of Mexico City. Socioeconomic and demographic characteristics as
 well as height and weight, dietary intake, leisure time activity and the
 presence of DM2 were measured. We fitted a structural equation model (SEM)
 with DM2 as the main outcome, and BMI, diet-DII and PA served as mediator
 variables between socioeconomic inequalities index (SII) and
 DM2. Results. The prevalence of DM2 was 13.6%. From the
 fitted SEM, each standard deviation increases in the SII was associated
 with increased scores of DM2
 (β=0.174, P&lt;0.001). Conclusion. The
 results in the present study show how high scores in the index of SII may
 influence the presence of DM2.

title: Temperature and fluid pressurization effects on frictional stability of shale faults reactivated by hydraulic fracturing in the Changning Block, Southwest China

description: A shale fault reactivated during multi-stage hydraulic fracturing in the
 Changning block in the Sichuan Basin, southwest China accompanied a
 cluster of small earthquakes with the largest
 reaching ML ~0.8. We illuminate the underlying
 mechanisms of fault reactivation through measurements of frictional
 properties on simulated fault gouge under hydrothermal conditions.
 Velocity-stepping experiments were performed at a confining pressure of
 60 MPa, temperatures from 30 to 300 ℃, pore fluid
 pressures from 10 to 55 MPa and shear velocities between
 0.122 and 1.22 μm/s. Results show that the gouge is frictionally
 strong with coefficient of friction of 0.6-0.7 across all experimental
 conditions. At observed in-situ pore fluid pressure
 (30 MPa), the slip stability response is characterized by
 velocity strengthening at temperatures of 30-200 ℃ and
 velocity weakening at temperatures of 250-300 ℃. Increasing the
 pore fluid pressure can increase values of (a – b) at temperatures ≥
 200 ℃, narrowing the temperature range where velocity weakening
 occurs. At the in-situ temperature (90℃), the simulated
 gouge shows only velocity strengthening behavior and aseismic slip at
 elevated pore fluid pressures, contrary to the observed seismicity. We
 postulate that the aseismic slip at elevated pore fluid pressures may
 trigger seismicity by activating adjacent earthquake-prone faults.

title: Prevalence and factors associated with prediabetes and diabetes in fishing communities in Penang, Malaysia: a cross-sectional study

description: Background Diabetes is a metabolic disorder, characterized by
 hyperglycemic state of the body. A silent killer, which can take the lives
 of victims if undiagnosed at the earliest stage. Prediabetes has become an
 important health concern across countries due to its huge potential for
 the development of diabetes and other complications. The objectives of
 this study were to determine the prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes
 and its associated factors among rural fishing communities in Penang,
 Malaysia.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among fishing
 communities in Southwest District of Penang, Malaysia from August to
 November 2017. Blood sample (finger prick test) and physical examination
 were performed on sample of 168 participants consented in this study.
 Pre-validated Malay versions of International Physical Activity 7 (IPAQ-7)
 and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) questionnaires were used to assess the
 level of physical activity and stress levels of the participants.
 Multinomial logistic regression models were fitted to identify factors
 associated with prediabetes and diabetes.Results The prevalence of
 diabetes and prediabetes were 19.6% (95% CI: 14.3, 26.4) and 10.12% (95%
 CI: 6.4, 15.7)  respectively. The median physical activity
 (interquartile range) in MET-minutes per week for those with diabetes
 (1071.0 (2120.0)) and prediabetes (1314.0 (1710.0)) was generally lower as
 compared to non-diabetes. Majority reported moderate stress (57.3%) from
 PSS system. Abdominal obesity, family history of diabetes and being
 hypertensive were significant factors associated with diabetes; while
 older age, bigger waist circumference and self-perceived  poor
 routine diet were  factors associated with
 prediabetes.Conclusions The screening for prediabetes in this population
 gives the opportunity to implement lifestyle interventions at the earliest
 possible, which could prevent the development of diabetes. The
 identification of diabetic individuals provides an opportunity to conduct
 health promotion and education to ensure good metabolic control and hence
 reduce the risks of complications.

title: Exploration of plastid phylogenomic conflict yields new insights into the deep relationships of Leguminosae

description: Phylogenomic analyses have helped resolve many recalcitrant relationships
 in the angiosperm tree of life, yet phylogenetic resolution of the
 backbone of the Leguminosae, one of the largest and most economically and
 ecologically important families, remains poor due to generally limited
 molecular data and incomplete taxon sampling of previous studies. Here, we
 resolve many of the Leguminosae's thorniest nodes through
 comprehensive analysis of plastome-scale data using multiple modified
 coding and noncoding datasets of 187 species representing almost all major
 clades of the family. Additionally, we thoroughly characterize conflicting
 phylogenomic signal across the plastome in light of the family's
 complex history of plastome evolution. Most analyses produced largely
 congruent topologies with strong statistical support, and provided strong
 support for resolution of some long-controversial deep relationships among
 the early diverging lineages of the subfamilies Caesalpinioideae and
 Papilionoideae. The robust phylogenetic backbone reconstructed in this
 study establishes a framework for future studies on legume classification,
 evolution, and diversification. However, conflicting phylogenetic signal
 was detected and quantified at several key nodes that prevents the
 confident resolution of these nodes using plastome data alone.
description: Each coding and noncoding
 locus was individually aligned using the L-INS-i method of MAFFT. To
 minimize the use of loci with limited information or with relatively few
 species, loci consisting of fewer than four species were excluded, and
 aligned regions less than 22 bp were also removed. In addition, tRNAs were
 excluded from analyses because they are short (≤ 93 bp) and very
 conserved. We finally obtained 226 alignments including 81 coding and 145
 noncoding loci. We first constructed three basic datasets: the PC (plastid
 coding regions; the concatenated 81 coding genes), PN (plastid noncoding
 regions; the concatenated 145 noncoding loci) and PCN (the concatenated PC
 and PN) datasets. To rapidly concatenate the alignments of separate loci
 and generate a concomitant configure file for use in downstream
 partition-based analysis, we also developed a new custom script
 "concatenate_fasta.py". Multiple strategies were then applied to
 reduce systematic error for the three basic datasets. Then we obtained
 other corresponding datasets.

 loci in all datasets.

title: Data from: Fate of the soil seed bank of giant ragweed and its significance in preventing and controlling its invasion in grasslands

description: Pollen of giant ragweed (GR), an annual non-native invasive weed, causes
 serious respiratory allergies in some humans and animals. Chemical control
 of GR in grassland can produce toxic side effects in herbs and livestock.
 This paper discusses methods used to prevent infestation and to control
 this species by analyzing the soil seed bank (SSB) and limiting the
 invasiveness of GR. By studying GR distributed in grassland of the Yili
 Valley, Xinjiang, China, this paper compares the spatial and temporal
 changes of seed density along with seed germination, dormancy, and death
 at different times after invasion and in different soil layers. The study
 analyzed population characteristics over time, seed fate, and control
 methods for this species with the goal of reducing the of SSB density of
 GR. The SSB of GR in grassland occurs mainly in the 0–5 cm soil layer but
 also to depths of 15 cm. Seed density in the SSB decreased by 68.1% to
 82.01% from the seed maturity period to the early non-fertile period.
 &gt;98.7% of the seeds rotten, eaten, germinated, dispersed or died
 within one year after being produced. The seed germination rate of the SBB
 decreased with an increasing number of years after invasion. When stored
 for 1 or 4 years, seed germination rates fell by 40%, during which time
 seed mortality increased by almost 40%. When GR was completely eradicated
 for 2 consecutive years, the SSB and population densities decreased by
 &gt;99%. The vast majority of GR seeds germinated or died within one
 year; long term dry storage also significantly decreased the germination
 rate. Newly produced seeds are the main source of seeds in the SSB; seeds
 have a strong ability to germinate. Therefore, thoroughly eradicating GR
 plants for several years before the seeds can mature provides an effective
 control method in grasslands.

title: Supplementary Tables (Mapping the Associations of the Plasma Lipidome With Insulin Resistance and Response to an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test)

description: Context: Insulin resistance (IR) remained a global health challenge.
 Lipidomics offers a unique opportunity to identify biomarkers; a key step
 towards understanding mechanisms of IR associated with abnormal lipid
 metabolism. Objective: To determine whether plasma lipid species are
 associated with indices of insulin resistance and to evaluate the plasma
 lipidome response to an OGTT. Design and Setting: Community based
 cross-sectional Participants and sample: Plasma samples (collected at 0
 and 120 min during an OGTT) from non-obese, young adults aged between
 18-34 years (n = 246) were analysed using liquid chromatography tandem
 mass spectrometry. Main outcome measures: Using linear models (controlling
 for age, sex, BMI, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides),
 the associations between indices of insulin resistance and individual
 lipid species or changes in lipid levels during an OGTT were tested.
 Results: Some (213) and (199) lipid species associate with HOMA-IR and
 insulin AUC respectively. Alkylphosphatidylcholine (10),
 alkenylphosphatidylcholine (23) and alkylphosphatidylethanolamine (6)
 species were associated with insulin AUC in men only. Species of
 phosphatidylcholine (7) and sphingomyelin (5) were associated in women
 only. In response to an oral glucose tolerance test, a perturbation in the
 plasma lipidome, particularly in acylcarnitine species was observed; and
 the changes in many lipid species were associated with insulin AUC.
 Conclusions: The plasma lipidome and changes in lipid levels during an
 OGTT were associated with indices of insulin resistance. These findings
 underlie the involvement of molecular lipid species in the pathogenesis of
 insulin resistance and possibly crosstalk between insulin resistance and
 sex-specific regulation of lipid metabolism.

title: Spermatophore retention may accommodate sexual signal loss in pacific field crickets

description: Sexual signals are gained and lost over evolutionary time. While signal
 gain has obvious fitness benefits, signal loss should present significant
 costs due to decreased mating opportunities. Because sexual signal loss
 has rarely been observed in real time, it is unclear how this process
 unfolds in nature. Just as female mating preferences can promote
 evolutionary gain and elaboration of sexual signals, they may also
 facilitate signal loss. We investigated how two components of female mate
 choice are involved in rapid sexual signal loss in the Pacific field
 cricket (Teleogryllus oceanicus), in which many males have lost the
 ability to sing. Males that can sing (“normal-wings”) and obligately
 silent males (“flatwings”) coexist in Hawaiian populations. While we know
 that females prefer not to mate with flatwings, we tested whether females
 discriminate against flatwing males before copulation due to the lack of
 song, or something inherent about their wing morphology. We combined this
 assessment with a test of post-copulatory preference by presenting females
 with either a normal-wing or flatwing male in the presence or absence of a
 courtship song stimulus. Females took significantly longer to mount males
 in the absence of courtship song regardless of male wing morph. This is
 the first evidence that females discriminate against the absence of song
 during mate choice, not male wing morph. However, females retained
 spermatophores for equally long regardless of male wing morph and whether
 they heard courtship song. Pre- and post-copulatory sexual selection do
 not operate synchronously in this system, which may help explain the
 success of the silent morph in wild populations.

title: Microfluidic monitoring of the growth of individual hyphae in confined environments

description: Soil fungi have the ability to form large mycelial networks. They rely on
 the resources available in the soil to produce biomass, and are able to
 degrade complex biomolecules. Some of them can even degrade recalcitrant
 organic pollutants and are considered promising candidates for soil
 bioremediation strategies. However, the success of this approach depends
 on the ability of fungi to colonize the soil matrix, where they encounter
 spatial and temporal variations of confinement, humidity and nutrient
 concentration. In this paper, we present a study of fungal growth at the
 scale of single hyphae in a microfluidic device, allowing fine control of
 nutrient and water supply. Time-lapse microscopy allowed simultaneous
 monitoring of the growth of dozens of hyphae of Talaromyces helicus, a
 soil isolate, and of the model fungus Neurospora crassa through parallel
 microchannels. The distributions of growth velocity obtained for each
 strain were compared to measurements obtained in macroscopic solid
 culture. For the two strains used in the study, confinement caused the
 growth velocity to drop in comparison with unconfined experiments. In
 addition, N. crassa was also limited in its growth by the nutrient supply,
 while the microfluidic culture conditions seemed better suited for T.
 helicus. Qualitative observations of fungi growing in microfluidic
 chambers without lateral confinement also revealed that side walls
 influence the branching behavior of hyphae. This study is one of the first
 to consider the confinement degree within soil microporosities as a key
 factor of fungal growth, and to adress its effect, along with
 physicochemical parameters, on soil colonization, notably for
 bioremediation purposes.

title: Reciprocal cybrids reveal how organellar genomes affect plant phenotypes

description: Assessing the impact of variation in chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA
 (collectively termed the plasmotype) on plant phenotypes is challenging
 due to the difficulty in separating their effect from nuclear derived
 variation (the nucleotype). Haploid inducer lines can be used as efficient
 plasmotype donors to generate new plasmotype-nucleotype combinations
 (cybrids). We generated a panel comprising all possible cybrids of seven
 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions and extensively phenotyped these lines for
 1859 phenotypes under stable and fluctuating conditions. We show that
 natural variation in the plasmotype results in additive as well as
 epistatic effects across all phenotypic categories. Plasmotypes which
 induce more additive phenotypic changes also cause more significant
 epistatic effects, suggesting a possible common basis for both additive
 and epistatic effects. On average epistatic interactions explained twice
 as much of the variance in phenotypes as additive plasmotype effects. The
 impact of plasmotypic variation was also more pronounced under fluctuating
 and stressful environmental conditions. Thus, the phenotypic impact of
 variation in plasmotypes is the outcome of multilevel Nucleotype x
 Plasmotype x Environment interactions and, as such, the plasmotype is
 likely to serve as a reservoir of variation which is predominantly exposed
 under certain conditions.  The production of cybrids using
 haploid inducers is a quick and precise method for assessing the
 phenotypic effects of natural variation in organellar genomes. It will
 facilitate efficient screening of unique nucleotype-plasmotype
 combinations to both improve our understanding of natural variation in
 nucleotype-plasmotype interactions and identify favourable combinations to
 improve plant performance.

title: Land use alters relationships of grassland productivity with plant and arthropod diversity in Inner Mongolian grassland

description: The threats of land-use intensification to biodiversity have motivated
 considerable research directed towards understanding the relationship
 between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF). Functional diversity
 is deemed a better indicator than species diversity to clarify the BEF
 relationships. However, most tests of the BEF relationship have been
 conducted in highly controlled plant communities, with terrestrial animal
 communities largely unexplored. Additionally, most BEF studies examined
 the effects of biodiversity on ecosystem functions, with the effects of
 ecosystem functioning strength on biodiversity hardly considered. Based on
 a 6-year long grassland experiment in the typical steppe region of Inner
 Mongolia, we examined the variation of taxonomic diversity (TD) and
 functional diversity (FD) of both plant and arthropod communities, and
 their relations with grassland productivity, across three land management
 types (moderate grazing, mowing and enclosure). We aimed to clarify the
 interrelations among plant FD, arthropod FD, grassland productivity and
 soil factors. We found that: (1) Grassland under mowing performs best in
 terms of sustaining a high TD and FD of plants and arthropods compared to
 that under grazing and enclosure. (2) The relationships between plant and
 arthropod diversity and productivity varied with management types. Plant
 TD and FD was negatively, whereas arthropod FD was positively, related
 with productivity under enclosure; plant FD, but not arthropod FD, was
 positively related with productivity under grazing; arthropod FD, but not
 plant FD, was negatively related with productivity under mowing. (3)
 Grassland productivity is positively interrelated with plant FD, but not
 plant TD; and is negatively interrelated with arthropod TD, but not
 arthropod FD across different management types. The respective positive
 versus negative bi-directional relationships of productivity with plant
 diversity versus arthropod diversity, was majorly a consequence of
 divergent grazing/mowing effects on plant versus arthropod diversity. The
 results indicate that grazing increases plant diversity, but decreases
 arthropod diversity, whereas fall mowing provides a management strategy
 for conservation of both trophic levels. These results also provide new
 insights into the effects of land-use changes on biodiversity and
 ecosystem processes, and indicate the importance of incorporating the
 functional interrelations among different trophic groups in sustainable
 grassland management.
