title: Vindas et al. Brain-infecting parasites leave lasting effects on behaviour even in resistant hosts

description: Parasites can have profound effects on intra- and inter-specific
 interactions at the population and community levels through their
 influence on host behaviour, physiology, and fitness. While host
 phenotypic changes are typically thought of in terms of established
 infections, parasite encounters may be sufficient to induce behavioural
 changes, even when no viable infections are established. Here, we use the
 Japanese rice fish medaka Oryzias latipes and the brain-infecting
 microsporidan parasite Pseudoloma neurophilia to understand how parasite
 resistance influences behaviour. Although a previous study suggested that
 medaka are a suitable host for P. neurophilia, an eight-week parasite
 exposure regime resulted in no detectable infection in our study. Both
 parasite-exposed and control (no parasite exposure) medaka were tested in
 behavioural assays that assessed boldness, activity, and sociality. We
 detected considerable changes in medaka behaviour following parasite
 exposure, with parasite-exposed fish being more active, less bold, and
 more social when compared to control fish. These data indicate that
 parasite encounters may induce behavioural alterations even in
 non-susceptible hosts. In addition to established infection, individual
 differences in parasite exposure must also be considered in studies of
 host responses across ecological scales.

title: Data from: A well-studied parasitoid fly of field crickets uses multiple alternative hosts in its introduced range

description: Organisms and their natural enemies can have dynamic coevolutionary
 trajectories, but anthropogenic effects like species introductions
 interrupt existing coevolutionary relationships. For parasites in
 particular, if they are introduced to a location without their hosts, they
 can only persist in the new environment if alternative hosts are 1)
 present, 2) detectable to parasites, and 3) capable of sustaining
 parasites. The circumstances surrounding the addition of alternative hosts
 to a parasite’s repertoire are rarely observed. The parasitoid fly Ormia
 ochracea locates its field cricket hosts by orienting acoustically to
 their conspicuous mating songs. In Hawaii, O. ochracea is only known to
 parasitize one species, Teleogryllus oceanicus, but rapid evolution of T.
 oceanicus mating song over the past 20 years has led to several prevalent
 morphs of the cricket that produce no song or novel songs that the flies
 cannot detect. Yet flies persist in populations that lack ancestral
 singing T. oceanicus, prompting us to investigate the possibility of
 alternative hosts in Hawaii. We demonstrate first that three potential
 alternative hosts (Gryllodes sigillatus, Gryllus bimaculatus, and
 Modicogryllus pacificus) are present. Second, O. ochracea exhibits a
 positive phonotactic response to all three species’ songs in the field and
 in the lab. And third, O. ochracea can successfully develop to pupae and
 emerge as adults in all three species. Our discovery of alternative hosts
 for O. ochracea in Hawaii infuses the system with intriguing complexity
 and offers extensive opportunities for future work.

title: Nature and well-being: The association of nature engagement and well-being during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic

description: 1. Numerous studies have shown the positive association between nature
 engagement and well-being. During the early phases of the SARS-CoV-2
 pandemic, nature engagement changed dramatically as mental health and
 well-being declined across the globe. 2. This study examines how
 psychological connection to nature and engagement with nature in various
 forms is associated with well-being during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
 Specifically, we examine which types of nature engagement (i.e., with
 nearby nature, through nature excursions, and media-based) are more
 strongly associated with well-being based on measures of loneliness,
 rumination, pandemic emotional impact, and mental health. 3. We employed a
 cross-sectional online survey of adults (N=3,282) residing in the United
 States, 25% of whom report seldom spending time in nature. 4. Our findings
 revealed that the psychological construct of connection to nature was
 associated with less loneliness and greater mental health. Overall, nature
 engagement was a consistent predictor of well-being, but different types
 of activities predicted varying outcomes on our four dependent variables.
 Greater engagement with nearby nature during the pandemic was associated
 with less rumination, less pandemic emotional impact, and better mental
 health while nature excursions (e.g., camping, backpacking) and
 media-based nature engagement were associated with greater loneliness,
 more emotional impact from the pandemic, and worse mental health.
 Additionally, nature engagement via media was associated with greater
 rumination. 5. Our findings suggest that promoting opportunities to
 increase engagement with and access to nearby nature is associated with
 better human well-being, especially during challenging events, and should
 be part of a multi-pronged approach for coping with the next public health
 crisis.
description: This study relied on a cross-sectional online survey that yielded
 a sample of 3,282 adults over 18 years of age, residing in the United
 States from two primary groups: (1) participants involved in public
 engagement programs through the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (NGO), and (2)
 members of the public with varying degrees of nature engagement. A soft
 launch of the survey occurred on October 1, 2020, to 100 people from the
 national panel group, to ensure smooth administration. The final survey
 was administered online via Qualtrics to the national panel on October 6
 and closed on October 24, 2020. For the NGO group, the survey was sent on
 October 12, 2020, with reminder emails 6 and 13 days later. The NGO survey
 was closed on November 5, 2020. The two surveys were identical except for
 a few additional questions posed to the NGO group about engagement in
 NGO-specific activities (see Appendix A for complete survey). All data
 were initially cleaned using Excel. All analyses were completed using
 SPSS, version 28 (IBM Corp., 2019).

title: Yellow ground squirrel & fire, grazing in Kazakhstan

description: We aimed to understand the effects of changed grazing intensity and fire
 frequency on a key ecosystem engineer, the Yellow Ground
 Squirrel Spermophilus fulvus in Kazakhstan. Ground squirrels were
 surveyed in an area of ca. 100,000 ha in the dry steppe of central
 Kazakhstan, using hierarchical distance sampling at more than 200 random
 points, stratified by fire frequency and livestock grazing intensity. We
 modeled abundance as a function of different variables, grouped at the
 landscape scale (fire and grazing), mesoscale (soil and vegetation
 structure), and at burrow scale (plant traits such as palatability,
 digestibility, and nutrient content).

title: Towards a simultaneously speaking bilingual robot: Primary study on the effect of gender and pitch of the robot’s voice

description: With fast and reliable international transportation, more people with
 different language backgrounds can interact now. As a result, the need for
 communicative agents fluent in several languages to assist those people is
 highlighted. The high cost of hiring human attendants fluent in several
 languages makes using social robots a more affordable alternative in
 international gatherings. A social robot capable of presenting a piece of
 information in more than one language at the same time to its audience is
 the goal of this line of study. However, the negative effect of background
 noise on speech comprehension in humans is well-established. Hence,
 presenting a piece of information in two different languages at the same
 time by the robot creates an adverse listening condition for both
 individuals listening to the speech of such a bilingual robot. In this
 study, we investigated whether manipulating the pitch and gender of the
 robot's voice could affect human subjects' memory of the
 presented information in the presence of background noise. The results
 indicate that the pitch and gender of the speaking voice do indeed affect
 our memory of the presented information. when a male voice was used, a
 higher pitch resulted in significantly better memory performance than a
 lower pitch. Contrarily, when a female voice was used, a lower pitch
 resulted in significantly better memory in participants than a higher
 pitch. Both male and female subjects performed significantly better with a
 female voice in a noisy background. In nutshell, the result of this study
 suggests using a female voice for robots in noisy conditions, as in the
 case of simultaneously speaking robots, can significantly improve the
 retrieval of presented information in human subjects.

title: Data: Rapid evolution of unimodal but not of linear thermal performance curves in Daphnia magna

description: Species may cope with warming through both rapid evolutionary and plastic
 responses. While thermal performance curves (TPCs), reflecting thermal
 plasticity, are considered powerful tools to understand the impact of
 warming on ectotherms, their rapid evolution has been rarely studied for
 multiple traits. We capitalized on a 2-year experimental evolution trial
 in outdoor mesocosms that were kept at ambient temperatures or heated 4 °C
 above ambient, by testing in a follow-up common garden experiment, for
 rapid evolution of the TPCs for multiple key traits of the water flea
 Daphnia magna. The heat-selected Daphnia showed evolutionary shifts of the
 unimodal TPCs for survival, fecundity at 1st clutch and intrinsic
 population growth rate toward higher optimum temperatures, and a less
 pronounced downward curvature indicating a better ability to keep fitness
 high across a range of high temperatures. We detected no evolution of the
 linear TPCs for somatic growth, mass and development rate, and for the
 traits related to energy gain (ingestion rate) and costs (metabolic rate).
 As a result, also the relative thermal slope of energy gain vs. energy
 costs did not vary. These results suggest the overall (rather than per
 capita) top-down impact of D. magna may increase under rapid thermal
 evolution.

title: Data for: Deformable hard tissue with high fatigue resistance in the hinge of bivalve Cristaria plicata

description: The hinge of bivalve shells can sustain hundreds of thousands of repeating
 opening-and-closing valve motions throughout their lifetime. We study the
 hierarchical design of the mineralized tissue in the hinge of bivalve,
 Cristaria plicata, which endows the tissue with deformability and fatigue
 resistance, and underlies the repeating motion capability consequently.
 This folding fan-shaped tissue consists of radially aligned, brittle
 aragonite nanowires embedded in resilient matrix, and can translate
 external radial loads to circumferential deformation. The hard-soft
 complex microstructure can suppress stress concentration within the
 tissue. Coherent nanotwin boundaries along the longitudinal direction of
 the nanowires increase their resistance to bending fracture. The unusual
 biomineral, which exploits the inherent properties of each component
 through multiscale structural design, provides insights into the evolution
 of anti-fatigue structural materials.

title: Ecological marginalization is widespread and increases extinction risk in mammals

description: Human land-use results in widespread range change across taxa.
 Anthropogenic pressures can result in species’ realized niches expanding,
 shifting, or contracting. Marginalization occurs when contraction
 constrains species to the geographic or ecological extremes of their
 historic niche. Using 4,785 terrestrial mammal species, we show that range
 contraction results in niche space and habitat diversity loss.
 Additionally, ecological marginalization is a common consequence of range
 contraction caused by human land use change. Remnant populations become
 located in the climatic and topographic extremes of their historic niche
 that are more likely to be at the periphery of their historic niche at
 greater distances from historic niche centroids. This ecological
 marginalization is associated with poor performance and increased
 extinction risk independent of geographic range loss. Range loss and
 marginalization may create a “double whammy” in vulnerable groups, such as
 large-bodied species and species with small geographical range size. Our
 results reveal a hitherto unrecognized conservation threat that is vital
 to incorporate into conservation assessment and management.

title: Army ant males lose seasonality at a site on the equator

description: Army ants are keystone predators in the tropics and subtropics. During
 reproduction, males fly between colonies to mate with unmated, wingless
 queens. The males of most species are attracted to lights, and thus their
 presence and the timing of reproduction can be monitored using light
 traps. Previous studies examined the seasonality of army ant male
 reproduction and its relationship to climate factors at individual sites,
 but less is known about variation among sites. We examined army ant male
 flight seasonality at three sites: (1) La Selva Biological Station in
 Costa Rica, a site with weak temperature seasonality and moderate rainfall
 and day length seasonality, (2) Yasuní National Park, Ecuador, a site with
 no temperature or day length seasonality and very weak rainfall
 seasonlity, and (3) the state of Paraná in southern Brazil, a site with
 very strong temperature, rainfall, and day length seasonality. Army ants
 showed strong seasonality at the La Selva and Paraná sites, and very weak
 to no seasonality at the Yasuní site. At La Selva and Paraná, flight times
 varied among species, but were very predictable from year to year, which
 suggests day length or temperature as predictable cues rather than
 rainfall. Lack of seasonal cues near the equator may be a challenge for
 army ant species that need to synchronize colony reproduction, and thus
 may have conservation implications for minimum population sizes needed to
 ensure stable populations.

title: Dataset for: Radiation therapy induces innate immune responses in patients treated for prostate cancers

description: Purpose Radiation therapy (RT) is a curative therapeutic modality used to
 treat cancers as a single agent or in combination with surgery and
 chemotherapy. Advanced RT technologies enable treatment with large
 fraction, highly conformal, radiation doses to effect free-radical damage
 to cellular DNA leading to cell cycle arrest, cell death, and innate
 immune response stimulation. Experimental Design To understand systemic
 clinical responses after radiation exposure, high throughput proteomic and
 metabolomic analyses were performed on plasma obtained from cancer
 patients at intervals after prostate stereotactic body radiation therapy.
 Pathway analysis and multivariate analyses were used to delineate
 molecular alterations following radiation therapy and its correlation with
 clinical outcomes. Results DNA Damage Response (DDR) and cell cycle
 signaling increased within the first hour after treatment and returned to
 baseline by one month. Innate immune response signaling also increased
 within one hour of treatment but persisted for up to three months
 thereafter. Furthermore, robust immune responses and metabolite
 elevations, consistent with an early proinflammatory M1-mediated innate
 immune activation, were observed in patients in remission, whereas
 patients experiencing PSA-determined disease progression demonstrated less
 robust immune responses and M2-mediated metabolite elevations.
 Conclusion/Discussion To our knowledge, these data are the first report of
 longitudinal proteomic and metabolomic molecular responses in patients
 after radiation therapy for cancers. The data supports innate immune
 activation as a critical clinical response of patients receiving radiation
 therapy for prostate cancer. Furthermore, we propose that the observed
 innate immune responses may be generalized to the treatment of other
 cancer types, potentially informing multidisciplinary therapeutic
 strategies for cancer treatment.

title: Golden-cheeked warbler Integrated Population Model (IPM) data in Austin, TX (2011–2019)

description: These data and code are associated with the publication in Ecosphere
 entitled "Urban land cover and El Nino events negatively impact
 population viability of an endangered North American songbird." We
 performed an integrated population model to evaluate the effect of climate
 patterns and urban land cover on the viability of an endangered
 wood-warbler breeding in central Texas. We used territory monitroing data
 from 2011–2019 to predict viability of the population 25 years into the
 future.
description: We monitored golden-cheeked warbler territories in 10 plots
 within an urban preserve to determine abundance, delineate territories,
 and document breeding success. We determined environmental conditions
 across the study period to examine temporal and landscape effects. We then
 used these data to estimate adult survival and productivity and relate
 these vital rates to environmental conditions experienced during our study
 period. We used supported covariates to predict potential effects on this
 population 25 years into the future.
