title: Aerobic performance of two tropical cephalopod species unaltered by prolonged exposure to projected future carbon dioxide levels

description: <p>Abstract [Related Publication]: Squid and many other cephalopods live continuously on the threshold of their environmental oxygen limitations. If the abilities of squid to effectively take up oxygen are negatively affected by projected future carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels in ways similar to those demonstrated in some fish and crustaceans, it could affect the success of squid in future oceans. While there is evidence that acute exposure to elevated CO₂ has adverse effects on cephalopod respiratory performance, no studies have investigated this in an adult cephalopod after relatively prolonged exposure to elevated CO₂ or determined any effects on aerobic scope. Here, we tested the effects of prolonged exposure (≥20% of lifespan) to elevated CO₂ levels (~1000µatm) on the routine and maximal oxygen uptake rates, aerobic scope, and recovery time of two tropical cephalopod species, the two-toned pygmy squid, Idiosepius pygmaeus and the bigfin reef squid, Sepioteuthis lessoniana. Neither species exhibited evidence of altered aerobic performance after exposure to elevated CO₂ when compared to individuals held at control conditions. The recovery time of I. pygmaeus under both control and elevated CO₂ conditions was less than one hour; whereas, S. lessoniana required approximately eight hours to recover fully following maximal aerobic performance. This difference in recovery time may be due to the more sedentary behaviours of I. pygmaeus. The ability of these two cephalopod species to cope with prolonged exposure to elevated CO₂ without detriment to their aerobic performance suggests they may be resilient to an increasingly high CO₂ world.</p><p>The full methodology is available in the Open Access publication from the Related Publications link below.</p>

title: Dataset describing stability of WNV RNA in mosquito excreta

description: <p> Abstract [Related Publication]: Arbovirus surveillance is crucial for the implementation of vector-borne disease control measures. Recently, it has been demonstrated that mosquitoes with a disseminated arbovirus infection excrete viral RNA, which can be detected by molecular methods. Thereby, mosquito excreta has been proposed as a sample type that could be utilized for arbovirus surveillance. In this study, we evaluated if West Nile virus (Kunjin strain, WNVKUN) RNA in Culex annulirostris Skuse (Diptera: Culicidae) excreta deposited on different substrates could be detected after storage for up to 2 wk at tropical conditions of high heat and humidity. No significant drop in relative quantity of WNVKUN RNA (determined by comparison of Ct values) in excreta deposited on Flinders Associate Technologies (FTA) cards was observed over 14 d, suggesting that RNA was stable for that time. There was no significant difference in relative quantity of WNVKUN RNA in excreta deposited on FTA cards or polycarbonate substrates after 24 h. However, after 7 and 14 d, there was a significant decline in the relative quantity of viral RNA in the excreta stored on polycarbonate substrates. For incorporation in arbovirus surveillance programs, we recommend the use of polycarbonate substrates for excreta collection in mosquito traps deployed overnight, and the integration of FTA cards in traps serviced weekly or fortnightly. Polycarbonate substrates facilitate the collection of the majority of excreta from a trap, and while FTA cards offer limited area coverage, they enable preservation of viral RNA in tropical conditions for extended periods of time.</p><p>The dataset consists of a 6 worksheets and includes a description of the parameters for each of the 5 experiments listed below and the data for each experiment:</p><ul><li>RRV-groups</li><li>WNV-groups</li><li>RRV-individuals</li><li>WNV-individuals</li><li>Viability of viral RNA in mosquito excreta</li></ul><p> The full methodology is available in the publication shown in the Related Publications link below.</p>

title: Data for: McCormick MI, Fakan EP, Palacios, M. Habitat degradation and predators have independent trait-mediated effects on prey

description: <p>Abstract [Related Publication]: Coral reefs are degrading globally leading to a catastrophic loss of biodiversity. While shifts in the species composition of communities have been well documented associated with habitat change, the mechanisms that underlie change are often poorly understood. This study experimentally examines the effects of coral degradation on trait-mediated effects of predators on the morphology, behaviour and performance of a juvenile coral reef fish. Juvenile damselfish were exposed to predators or controls (omnivore or nothing) in seawater that had passed over either live coral or dead-degraded coral. Despite previous research predicting that the chemistry from dead-degraded coral would alter non-consumptive predator effects, there were only minor effects on the traits of juvenile damselfish relative to the impact of the presence of predator cues over the 45d experimental period. No interaction between water source and predator exposure was found. Fish exposed to degraded water had larger false eyespots relative to the size of their true eyes, which may lead to a survival advantage. They were also more active, which may increase spatial awareness and the capacity to learn the risks associated with local community members. Non-consumptive effects of predators on prey that occurred regardless of water source included longer and deeper bodies, large false eyespots that may distract predator strikes away from the vulnerable head region, and shorter latencies in their response to a simulated predator strike. Trait-mediated effects originating from the chemistry of the water from degraded coral affect morphology and performance of fish and may enhance survival in a habitat that diminishes their capacity to assess risks. This mechanism may promote greater resilience to habitat change than may otherwise be predicted.</p><p>The full methodology is available in the Open Access publication from the Related Publications link below.</p>

title: Data from: Biological controls to manage Acropora-eating flatworms in coral aquaculture

description: <p>Abstract [Related Publication]: Coral aquaculture is expanding to supply the marine ornamental trade and active coral reef restoration. A common pest of Acropora corals is the <em>Acropora</em>-eating flatworm <em>Prosthiostomum acroporae</em>, which can cause colonial mortality at high infestation densities on <em>Acropora spp</em>. We investigated the potential of 2 biological control organisms in marine aquaria for the control of <em>P. acroporae</em> infestations. <em>A. millepora</em> fragments infested with adult polyclad flatworms (5 flatworms fragment(-1)) or single egg clusters laid on <em>Acropora </em>skeleton were cohabited with either sixline wrasse <em>Pseudocheilinus hexataenia </em>or the peppermint shrimp <em>Lysmata vittata </em>and compared to a control (i.e. no predator) to assess their ability to consume <em>P. acroporae</em> at different life stages over 24 h. <em>P. hexataenia </em>consumed 100% of adult flatworms from <em>A. millepora</em> fragments (n = 9; 5 flatworms fragment(-1)), while <em>L. vittata </em>consumed 82.0 +/- 26.36% of adult flatworms (mean +/- SD; n= 20). <em>Pseudocheilinus hexataenia</em> did not consume any <em>Prosthiostomum acroporae</em> egg capsules, while <em>L. vittata </em>consumed 63.67 +/- 43.48% (n = 20) of egg capsules on the <em>Acropora </em>skeletons. Mean handling losses in controls were 5.83% (shrimp system) and 3.50% (fish system) of flatworms and 2.39% (fish system) and 3.50% (shrimp system) of egg capsules. Encounters between <em>L. vittata</em> and <em>P. hexataenia</em> result in predation of <em>P. acroporae</em> on an <em>Acropora </em>coral host and represent viable biological controls for reducing infestations of <em>P. acroporae </em>in aquaculture systems.</p>

title: The experience of peer support specialists in Singapore’s mental health services: An interpretative phenomenological analysis 

description: <p>Transcripts of six interviews with peer support specialists in Singapore.</p>
<p>[Abstract: Related publication]: Recovery-oriented mental health care approach is gaining acceptance in Asian countries, including Singapore. Following Western countries, Singapore started hiring peer support specialists (PSS) as part of mental health intervention. The purpose of this paper was to explore and understand experiences of PSS broadly in their work, their recovery journey, and their hopes for mental health services. Six PSS in Singapore were interviewed utilising a semi-structured interview schedule. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Four superordinate themes were generated illustrating how PSS viewed their role: embracing recovery, walking on a tightrope, support is essential, and helping to end stigma. Findings also illustrated participants&rsquo; awareness of the nature of the job and the role of PSS as still in the infancy stage. They embraced a recovery-oriented mindset despite experiencing stigma from professionals and/or their social support. The need to improve existing systems to enable PSS to perform their roles efficiently were also suggested. The limitations, contributions to the research, and several areas for future research are also outlined. </p>

title: Circular Economy Business Models and Consumer Acceptance in the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Sector: A Comparative Study of Singapore and South Korea

description: <p>This research project aimed to achieve two primary objectives: firstly, to explore design options for circular economy business models currently reported in the electrical and electronic equipment sector of Singapore and South Korea (Study 1); and secondly, to understand how consumers in both countries evaluate product and service elements for refrigerators and washing machines (Study 2). For Study 1, the researcher employed a morphological analysis and a systematic review. Data were obtained from secondary sources, including peer-reviewed journal articles and grey literature. For Study 2, the researcher employed an exploratory sequential mixed-methods design, consisting of a qualitative phase of focus groups followed by a quantitative survey phase that applies conjoint analysis and Kano modelling to the survey data. In conducting the focus groups, the researcher employed purposive sampling to invite participants knowledgeable in sustainable consumption of electronic products and related services. Meanwhile, for Kano modelling and conjoint analysis, sampling quotas were utilised, considering age, gender, and region to ensure a representative sample. Qualitative (systematic review, focus groups) and quantitative (survey) data were collected between 2020 and 2022.</p>
