title: Data for: UBC Farm Long-Term Biodiversity Monitoring Program

description: This dataset contains data collected through the UBC Farm Long-Term Biodiversity Monitoring Program, which started in May 2019. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Project Description: The UBC Farm Long-term Biodiversity Monitoring Program assesses biodiversity across multiple scales and levels at the UBC Farm. Biodiversity is the foundation of agricultural productivity and contributes essential ecosystem functions and services to food systems. The UBC Farm provides a unique opportunity to monitor the biodiversity important for agroecosystem food production and other ecosystem services on a working, diversified, and organic farm and pilot new technologies and survey techniques to assess agrobiodiversity. The Long-Term Biodiversity Monitoring program focuses on assessing bumble bees, earthworms, forest and crop plants, birds, mammals, bats, and soil fauna each year. The program aims to improve understanding of the biodiversity at the UBC Farm, how it is changing over time, and how this affects important ecosystem services (the benefits people receive from the natural environment) that benefit people, help crops grow, and contribute to overall agroecosystem sustainability.

title: Scientific shortcomings in environmental impact statements internationally

description: &lt;b&gt;Abstract&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;1. Governments around the world rely on environmental impact assessment to understand the environmental risks of proposed developments. 2. To examine the basis for these appraisals, we examine the output of environmental impact assessment processes in jurisdictions within seven countries, focusing on scope (spatial and temporal), mitigation actions, and whether impacts were identified as ‘significant’. 3. We find that the number of impacts characterized as significant is generally low. While this finding may indicate that environmental impact assessment is successful at promoting environmentally sustainable development, it may also indicate that the methods used to assess impact are biased against findings of significance. To explore the methods used, we investigate the environmental impact assessment process leading to significance determination. 4. We find that environmental Impact assessment reports could be more transparent with regards to the spatial scale they use to assess impacts to wildlife. We also find that few reports on mining projects consider temporal scales that are precautionary with regards to the effects of mines on water resources. Across our sample of reports, we find that few environmental impact assessments meaningfully consider the different ways that cumulative impacts can interact. 5. Across countries, we find that proposed mitigation measures are often characterized as effective without transparent justification, and sometimes are described in ways that render the mitigation measure proposal ambiguous. 6. Across the reports in our sample, professional judgement is overwhelmingly the determinant of impact significance, with little transparency around the reasoning process involved or input by stakeholders. 7. We argue that the credibility and accuracy of the environmental impact assessment process could be improved by adopting more rigorous assessment methodologies and empowering regulators to enforce their use.

title: Predicting the strength of urban-rural clines in a Mendelian polymorphism along a latitudinal gradient

description: &lt;b&gt;Abstract&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Cities are emerging as models for addressing the fundamental question of whether populations evolve in parallel to similar environments. Here, we examine the environmental factors that drive the evolution of parallel urban-rural clines in a Mendelian trait—the cyanogenic antiherbivore defense of white clover (Trifolium repens). Previous work suggested urban-rural gradients in frost and snow depth could drive the evolution of reduced hydrogen cyanide (HCN) frequencies in urban populations. Here, we sampled over 700 urban and rural clover populations across 16 cities along a latitudinal transect in eastern North America. In each population, we quantified changes in the frequency of genotypes that produce HCN, and in a subset of the cities we estimated the frequency of the alleles at the two genes (CYP79D15 and Li) that epistatically interact to produce HCN. We then tested the hypothesis that cold climatic conditions are necessary for the evolution of cyanogenesis clines by comparing the strength of clines among cities located along a gradient of winter temperatures and frost exposure. Overall, half of the cities exhibited urban-rural clines in the frequency of HCN, whereby urban populations evolved lower HCN frequencies. Clines did not evolve in cities with the lowest temperatures and greatest snowfall, supporting the hypothesis that snow buffers plants against winter frost and constrains the formation of clines. By contrast, the strongest clines occurred in the warmest cities where snow and frost are rare, suggesting that alternative selective agents are maintaining clines in warmer cities. Some clines were driven by evolution at only CYP79D15, consistent with stronger and more consistent selection on this locus than on Li. Together, our results demonstrate that urban environments often select for similar phenotypes, but different selective agents and targets underlie the evolutionary response in different cities.

title: Data from: They are likely to be there: using a family-centered index-testing approach to identify HIV-positive children in Kenya

description: &lt;b&gt;Abstract&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Kenya, only half of children with an HIV-positive parent have been tested for HIV. The effectiveness of a family-centred index-testing approach to identify children (0-14 years) living with HIV was examined.  A retrospective clinical record review was conducted among adult index patients newly enrolled in HIV care between May–July 2015 and family outcomes were followed through May 2016 at 60 high-volume clinics in western Kenya. HIV testing uptake and results, health facility level, enrollment into care and antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation were abstracted. Chi-square test compared yield (percentage of HIV tests positive) among children tested through family-centred index testing to outpatient and inpatient testing approaches for the same age category, health facilities and time period. Review of 1,937 index client charts led to the identification of 3,005 eligible children for testing. Of 2,848 (94.8%) children tested through family-centred index testing, 127 (4.5%) were HIV-positive, 100 (78.7%) were linked to care, and 85 of those eligible (91.4%) had initiated ART by May 2016. Family testing resulted in higher yield as compared with inpatient 1.8% (p&lt;0.001) or outpatient testing 1.6% (p&lt;0.001).    The absolute number of HIV positive children identified, however, was highest with outpatient testing (338 HIV positive children identified out of 27,402 tested). The family testing approach resulted in a high HIV identification yield for children and demonstrated promise in achieving the first two 90’s of the 90-90-90 targets for children, with additional effort required to improve linkage from testing to treatment.&lt;/p&gt;

title: A catastrophic tropical drought kills hydraulically vulnerable tree species

description: &lt;b&gt;Abstract&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Drought-related tree mortality is now a widespread phenomenon predicted to increase in magnitude with climate change. However, the patterns of which species and trees are most vulnerable to drought, and the underlying mechanisms have remained elusive, in part due to the lack of relevant data and difficulty of predicting the location of catastrophic drought years in advance. We used long‐term demographic records and extensive databases of functional traits and distribution patterns to understand the responses of 20 to 53 species to an extreme drought in a seasonally dry tropical forest in Costa Rica, which occurred during the 2015 El Niño Southern Oscillation event. Overall, species-specific mortality rates during the drought ranged from 0% to 34%, and varied little as a function of tree size. By contrast, hydraulic safety margins correlated well with probability of mortality among species, while morphological or leaf economics spectrum traits did not. This firmly suggests hydraulic traits as targets for future research.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Data from: Herbivores and plant defenses affect selection on plant reproductive traits more strongly than pollinators

description: &lt;b&gt;Abstract&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Pollinators and herbivores can both affect the evolutionary diversification of plant reproductive traits. However, plant defenses frequently alter antagonistic and mutualistic interactions and therefore variation in plant defenses may alter patterns of herbivore- and pollinator-mediated selection on plant traits. We tested this hypothesis by conducting a common garden field experiment using 50 clonal genotypes of white clover (Trifolium repens) that varied in a Mendelian inherited chemical antiherbivore defense—the production of hydrogen cyanide (HCN). To evaluate whether plant defenses alter herbivore- and/or pollinator-mediated selection, we factorially crossed chemical defense (25 cyanogenic and 25 acyanogenic genotypes), herbivore damage (herbivore suppression) and pollination (hand-pollination). We found that herbivores weakened selection for increased inflorescence production, suggesting that large displays are costly in the presence of herbivores. In addition, herbivores weakened selection on flower size but only among acyanogenic plants, suggesting that plant defenses reduce the strength of herbivore-mediated selection. Pollinators did not independently affect selection on any trait, although pollinators weakened selection for later flowering among cyanogenic plants. Overall, cyanogenic plant defenses consistently increased the strength of positive directional selection on reproductive traits. Herbivores and pollinators both strengthened and weakened the strength of selection on reproductive traits, although herbivores imposed ~2.7× stronger selection than pollinators across all traits. Contrary to the view that pollinators are the most important agents of selection on reproductive traits, our data show that selection on reproductive traits is driven primarily by variation in herbivory and plant defenses in this system.

title: Replication Data for: The assessment of mineralogical properties and hydrological or physicochemical controls on the drainage chemistry of mine waste rock

description: This study investigates the relationship between waste rock weathering, processes controlling mineral reactivity or solute mobility, and drainage chemistry in field barrel kinetic tests or within the full-scale waste-rock pile. This thesis is divided into 3 research chapters (Chapters 2 to 4) describing the application of automated mineralogical characterizations of waste rock linked to the hydrological regime and/or the leaching behaviour of waste rock after weathering at two scales: field barrels (Chapters 2 and 3) and full-scale waste-rock pile (Chapter 4). Overall, this thesis is facilitating the interpretation of waste-rock reactivity using waste-rock quantitative mineralogical evaluations; providing mineralogical perspectives on geochemical and hydrological processes; expanding the identification of mechanisms affecting metal mobility from waste-rock drainage; and, providing information to achieve more accurate drainage prediction models.

title: Changes in soil fungal communities following anthropogenic disturbance are linked to decreased lodgepole pine seedling performance

description: &lt;b&gt;Abstract&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Summary 1. Disturbances are frequent events across the Canadian boreal forest and can affect both below and above ground ecosystem processes. How disturbances change belowground soil fungal communities and in-turn affect pine establishment and performance is poorly understood. Such understanding has become increasingly important in-light-of observed changes in disturbance regimes in recent years due to climate change. 2. We used a greenhouse experiment to determine how soil inoculum collected from lodgepole pine stands undisturbed (control) or disturbed by fire, mountain pine beetle outbreak, logging, and salvage-logging affect pine seedling performance in western Canada. We first characterized whether fungal communities of seedling roots change as a function of inoculum source, and then determined whether changes in fungal community composition impact pine seedling performance (biomass and height). 3. Root fungal communities of pine seedlings from logged and salvage-logged disturbances differed from their respective paired controls, while soils from natural disturbances (fire and beetle outbreak) did not. Among disturbances, the pine root fungal communities of fire and salvage-logged disturbances differed. 4. In parallel to the root fungal communities, seedling performance also decreased when comparing logging and salvage-logging disturbances to paired controls. Among disturbance treatments, seedlings from the salvage-logged disturbance did not grow as big as seedlings inoculated with soils from burned forests. Synthesis and Application. These findings indicate that anthropogenic disturbances (logging and salvage-logging) can have cross-generational impacts on pine seedling performance, through functional shifts in seedling root fungal community structure. Furthermore, the impacts of soil fungi on pine seedlings appear to be pronounced following salvage-logging, stressing the importance of compound disturbance events. These findings may be of importance to land managers considering clear-cut logging or salvage logging in pine forests, particularly where soil biotic communities are likely to be one of the predominate factors in pine establishment.&lt;/p&gt;
