title: The world’s 100 worst invasive alien insect species

description: While there has been great interest in species characteristics that
 promote invasiveness, still little is known about the characteristics that
 distinguish invasive from non-invasive insects. Using a database on the
 naturalized distributions of alien insects and expert opinions about their
 impacts, we identified the world’s 100 worst invasive insect species. By
 comparing species characteristics reported in the literature using a
 meta-analysis, between the 100 worst invasive species and related
 non-invasive species, we found that invasive insects overall have more
 pathways of introduction, occur in more habitats, have higher fecundities,
 higher voltinism, more genes, shorted lifespans and faster development
 from egg to adult. Some of the differences in species characteristics are
 related to propagule pressures, life-histories and biotic interactions,
 conditional on whether the non-invasive species compared is known to be
 naturalized somewhere, whether the invasive species is globally
 distributed, and the climatic region of the species. Synthesis and
 applications: We show for the first time, using a multi-species
 comparative approach, that invasive insects differ in several
 characteristics from related non-invasive insects. Our results show that
 invasive species, such as Spodoptera frugiperda, typically are habitat
 generalists with a high fecundity, a short lifespan, and fast development,
 whereas the importance of female body size and number of enemies are
 context dependent. Our study can guide and improve existing screening
 tools for assessing the invasion potential of alien insects.

title: Genomic insights into diversification and ecological speciation of three Saccharina species

description: Aim: Saccharina is a genus within the brown algae that is of
 ecological and economic importance and shows rapid adaptive radiation,
 while the process and genetic mechanism of diversification and speciation
 remains unclear. In this study, we conducted genome resequencing of three
 typical Saccharina species, including the four varieties of S. japonica,
 and its two sister species (S. angustata and S. longissima) to investigate
 the genetic mechanism of ecological speciation. Location: coast of Japan
 Methods: We assess the genomic differentiation and genetic diversity of
 these Saccharina kelps based on whole-genome resequencing. We applied
 composite-likelihood approach to identify the ancestral species and
 reconstruct the evolutionary history. Selective sweep analysis was
 conducted to detect selective signatures when they adapted to diverse
 habitat. Results: The demography suggested that S. angustata, S.
 longissima and S. japonica var. japonica underwent adaptive speciation
 early, with S. japonica var. japonica as the oldest variant that diverged
 into three other varieties. The newly evolved variety SR has the highest
 genetic diversity, and the variety SD has the lowest genetic diversity.
 Interspecific hybridization among these congeneric species was low,
 indicating these species exist in genetic isolation in nature. We detected
 that some stress response genes (e.g. ubiquitin-like protein) and
 growth-related genes (e.g. imm upregulated 3) were under positive
 selection during the ecological speciation. Low linkage disequilibrium
 decay rate and extensive signals of selective sweeps are present in these
 Saccharina species, providing strong support for adaptive differentiation
 under natural selection as the driving force for its ecological
 speciation. Main conclusions: The main driving force of speciation in this
 genus appears to be not natural hybridization, but genetic isolation and
 adaptive differentiation by nature selection. The evolutionary history and
 ecological speciation of Saccharina species allow us to predict how common
 the species responds to environmental change, and whether they require
 different management strategies.

title: Arctic warming drives striking 21st century ecosystem shifts in Great Slave Lake (Subarctic Canada), North America’s deepest lake

description: Great Slave Lake, one of the world’s largest and North America’s deepest
 lake, has undergone an aquatic ecosystem transformation in response to
 21st-century accelerated Arctic warming that is unparalleled in at least
 the past two centuries. Algal remains from a series of high-resolution
 palaeolimnological records retrieved from the West Basin provide baseline
 limnological data that we compared to historical limnological and
 phycological surveys undertaken on Great Slave Lake between the 1940s and
 1990s. We document the rapid restructuring of algal community composition
 ca. 2000 CE that is consistent with recent increases in regional air
 temperature, as well as declines in ice cover and wind speed, that would
 collectively alter habitats for aquatic biota (e.g. thermal regime,
 vertical mixing, turbidity, light and nutrients). This new limnological
 regime initiated the first observation of scaled chrysophytes and favoured
 the rapid proliferation of small planktonic cyclotelloid diatoms that
 replaced the long-established dominance of large filamentous Aulacoseira
 islandica in West Basin sedimentary assemblages. Such rapid
 transformations in the primary producers of this socio-ecologically
 valuable “northern Great Lake” may have widespread implications for the
 entire food web with unknown consequences for aquatic ecosystem
 functioning and fisheries, which many northern and Indigenous communities
 depend upon.

title: Data for: Design and testing of a sew-free origami mask for improvised respiratory protection

description: Respiratory aerosols with diameters smaller than 100 micrometers have been
 confirmed as important vectors for the spread of diseases such as
 SARS-CoV-2. While disposable and cloth masks afford some protection, they
 are typically inefficient at filtering these aerosols and require
 specialized fabrication devices to produce. We describe a fabrication
 technique that makes use of a folding procedure (origami) to transform any
 filtration material into a mask. These origami masks can be fabricated by
 non-experts at minimal cost and effort, provide adequate filtration
 efficiencies, and are easily scaled to different facial sizes. Using a
 mannequin fit test simulator, we demonstrate that these masks can provide
 optimal filtration efficiency and ease of breathing with minimal leakage.
 Because this mask provides greater comfort compared to commercial
 alternatives, it is likely to promote greater mask wearing tolerance and
 acceptance.
description: The attached video demonstrates the assembly and fitting of the
 origami face mask as described and tested in the referenced manuscript.

title: Elucidation of the mescaline biosynthetic pathway in peyote

description: Peyote is an entheogenic and medicinal cactus native to the Chihuahuan
 desert. The psychoactive and hallucinogenic properties of peyote are
 principally attributed to the phenethylamine derivative mescaline. Despite
 the isolation of mescaline from peyote over 120 years ago, the
 biosynthetic pathway in the plant has remained undiscovered. Here, we use
 a transcriptomics and homology-guided gene discovery strategy to elucidate
 a near-complete biosynthetic pathway from L-tyrosine to mescaline. We
 identified a cytochrome P450 that catalyzes the 3-hydroxylation of
 L-tyrosine to L-DOPA, a tyrosine/DOPA decarboxylase yielding dopamine, and
 four substrate-specific and regiospecific substituted phenylethylamine
 O-methyltransferases. Biochemical assays with recombinant enzymes or
 functional analyses performed by feeding putative precursors to engineered
 yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) strains expressing candidate peyote
 biosynthetic genes were used to determine substrate specificity, which
 served as the basis for pathway elucidation. Additionally, an
 N-methyltransferase displaying broad substrate specificity and leading to
 the production of N-methylated phenethylamine derivatives was identified,
 which could also function as an early step in the biosynthesis of
 tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids in peyote.
description: Pacbio Hifi reads of peyote was processed
 and assembled by Hifiasm into contig level assembly. To enable
 differential metabolomics and transcriptomics analysis, peyote buttons
 were dissected into (i) epidermal and chlorenchyma tissue, referred to as
 the ‘outside’ (OUT) fraction, and (ii) a vasculature and cortex fraction,
 referred to as the ‘inside’ (IN) fraction. Total IN and OUT RNA libraries
 were sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 system with pair-end reads of
 150 bp. Transcriptomes were assembled using Trinity.

title: Dataset of avian samples collected and analyzed in: Genetic identification of avian samples recovered from solar energy installations

description: Renewable energy production and development will drastically affect how we
 meet global energy demands, while simultaneously reducing the impact of
 climate change. Although the possible effects of renewable energy
 production (mainly from solar- and wind-energy facilities) on wildlife
 have been explored, knowledge gaps still remain, and collecting data from
 wildlife remains (when negative interactions occur) at energy
 installations can act as a first step regarding the study of species and
 communities interacting with facilities. In the case of avian species,
 samples can be collected relatively easily (as compared to other sampling
 methods), but may only be able to be identified when morphological
 characteristics are diagnostic for a species. Therefore, many samples that
 appear as partial remains, or “feather spots” – known to be of avian
 origin but not readily assignable to species via morphology – may remain
 unidentified, reducing the efficiency of sample collection and the
 accuracy of patterns observed. To obtain data from these samples and
 ensure their identification and inclusion in subsequent analyses, we
 applied, for the first time, a DNA barcoding approach that uses
 mitochondrial genetic data to identify unknown avian samples collected at
 solar facilities to species. We also verified and compared identifications
 obtained by our genetic method to traditional morphological
 identifications using a blind test, and discuss discrepancies observed.
 Our results suggest that this genetic tool can be used to verify, correct,
 and supplement identifications made in the field and can produce data that
 allow accurate comparisons of avian interactions across facilities,
 locations, or technology types. We recommend implementing this genetic
 approach to ensure that unknown samples collected are efficiently
 identified and contribute to a better understanding of wildlife impacts at
 renewable energy projects.

title: Supplementary information for: A new tiny fossil penguin from the Late Oligocene of New Zealand and the morphofunctional transition of the penguin wing

description: The Late Oligocene is a period of high penguin diversity, following major
 changes in the marine environment at the Eocene/Oligocene boundary and
 prior to the emergence of crown penguins in the Miocene. Historically, a
 large morphological gap existed between the most crownward Platydyptes
 among the Oligocene penguins from New Zealand and the Early Miocene stem
 penguins such as Palaeospheniscus and Eretiscus from South America. Here
 we describe a new species that contributes to filling this gap. Pakudyptes
 hakataramea gen. et sp. nov. is the earliest tiny penguin, overlapping in
 size with the smallest extant species, the little penguin Eudyptula minor.
 Its distinctive combination of a well-developed proximal end of the
 humerus and a rather archaic elbow joint provides clues to the evolution
 of penguin wings. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that penguin wings
 evolved rapidly from the Late Oligocene to the Early Miocene, together
 with the acquisition of morphofunctional and hydrodynamical
 characteristics that enable the excellent swimming ability of modern
 penguins. As an indicator of aquatic adaptation, bone microanatomy also
 shows a comparable structure to that of Eudyptula. The appearance of the
 smallest body size and the evolution of modern wings may have led to the
 ecological diversity of modern penguins, which confirms the importance of
 Zealandia in penguin evolution.

title: Micrographs of strains with MultiduBE before and after induction

description: For the verification of MultiduBE-promoted fluorescent and morphology
 diversification, the crRNA array YKTmf5C-Sp4 was assembled into the
 mixture of pWLT-duBE-1a and pWLT-duBE-2b and then transformed into strain
 BSZRG-CmYKT. The results colonies were scraped from the plate and
 inoculated in a 50-mL sterile tube containing 10 mL LB media with
 kanamycin for pre-culture for about 10 h. Subsequently, the pre-culture
 was inoculated in a 14-mL sterile tube containing 2 mL LB-kanamycin media
 without aTC and a 14-mL sterile tube containing 2 mL LB-kanamycin media
 with 0.5 μM aTC, respectively. The two group cultures (without induction
 and with induction) were analyzed by Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy
 (LSCM) and flow cytometry.

title: Sex-specific effects of psychoactive pollution on behavioural individuality and plasticity in fish

description: The global rise of pharmaceutical contaminants in the aquatic environment
 poses a serious threat to ecological and evolutionary processes. Studies
 have traditionally focused on the collateral (average) effects of
 psychoactive pollutants on ecologically-relevant behaviours of wildlife,
 often neglecting effects among and within individuals, and whether they
 differ between males and females. We tested whether psychoactive
 pollutants have sex-specific effects on behavioural individuality and
 plasticity in guppies (Poecilia reticulata), a freshwater species that
 inhabits contaminated waterways in the wild. Fish were exposed to
 fluoxetine (Prozac) for two years across multiple generations before their
 activity and stress-related behaviour were repeatedly assayed. Using a
 Bayesian statistical approach that partitions the effects among and within
 individuals, we found that males—but not females—in fluoxetine-exposed
 populations differed less from each other in their behaviour (lower
 behavioural individuality) than unexposed males. In sharp contrast,
 effects on behavioural plasticity were observed in females—but not in
 males—whereby exposure to even low levels of fluoxetine resulted in a
 substantial decrease (activity) and increase (freezing behaviour) in the
 behavioural plasticity of females. Our evidence reveals that psychoactive
 pollution has sex-specific effects on the individual behaviour of fish,
 suggesting that males and females might not be equally vulnerable to
 global pollutants.

title: Simulated data and code for: The reinfection threshold, revisited

description: One mode by which infection-derived immunity fails is when recovery leads
 to a reduced but nonzero risk of reinfection. This type of partial
 protection is called leaky immunity, with the degree of leakiness
 quantified by the relative probability a previously infected individual
 will get infected upon exposure compared to a naively susceptible
 individual. Previous authors have defined the reinfection threshold, which
 occurs when the basic reproduction number equals the inverse of the
 leakiness, however, there has been some debate about whether or not this
 is a real threshold. Here we show how the reinfection threshold relates to
 two important occurrences: (1) the point at which the endemic equilibrium
 changes from being a stable spiral to a stable node, and (2) the point at
 which the rate of change of the prevalence increases the most relative to
 leakiness. When the recovery period is short relative to the average
 lifetime then both occurrences are close to the reinfection threshold. We
 show how these results are related to the reinfection threshold found in
 other models of imperfect immunity. To further demonstrate the
 significance of this threshold in modeling, we conducted a simulation
 study to evaluate some of the consequences the reinfection threshold might
 have in parameter estimation and modeling. Using specific parameter values
 chosen to reflect an acute infection, we found that the basic reproduction
 number values larger than that of the reinfection threshold value were
 less identifiable than those below the threshold.
description: This is the code and data used for the simulation study in
 "The reinfection threshold, revisited".

title: Warmer springs increase potential for temporal reproductive isolation among habitat patches in subalpine flowering plants

description: Flowering phenology can vary considerably even at fine spatial scales,
 potentially leading to temporal reproductive isolation among habitat
 patches. Climate change could alter flowering synchrony, and hence
 temporal isolation, if plants in different microhabitats vary in their
 phenological response to climate change. Despite the importance of
 temporal isolation in determining patterns of gene flow, and hence
 population genetic structure and local adaptation, little is known about
 how changes in climate affect temporal isolation within populations. Here,
 we use flowering phenology and floral abundance data of 50 subalpine plant
 species over 44 years to test whether temporal isolation between habitat
 patches is affected by spring temperature. For each species and year, we
 analyzed temporal separation in peak flowering and flowering overlap
 between habitat patches separated by 5 to 950 m. Across our study species,
 warmer springs were associated with more temporal differentiation in
 flowering peaks among habitat patches, and less flowering overlap,
 increasing potential for temporal isolation within populations. Synthesis.
 By reducing opportunities for mating among plants in nearby habitat
 patches, our results suggest that warmer springs may reduce opportunities
 for gene flow within populations, and, consequently, the capacity of plant
 populations to adapt to environmental changes.
