title: Latent but not absent: the ‘long tail’ nature of rural special education and its dynamic correction mechanism

description: The ‘long tail’ nature of rural special education (RSE) suggests that it
 simultaneously possesses the private nature of discreteness and the public
 nature of externalities, which can easily cause provision insufficiency.
 However, this mismatch may have a dynamic intertemporal correction
 mechanism impacted by different expenditures of supply sectors
 (governments and other social sectors). This paper uses different models
 and data from 30 provinces in China from 2003-2014 to analyze this dynamic
 correction mechanism. This research finds that different kinds of
 expenditures from different suppliers have divergent effects on this
 correction. Capital expenses (especially infrastructure construction) have
 significantly positive effects on the correction, but administrative
 expenses have significant dual effects on the correction. These effects
 may be caused by the various governance efficiencies and motivations of
 all stakeholders in RSE. This paper concludes that we should pay more
 attention to the accurate recognition and effective satisfaction of RSE
 affected by the governance efficiency and motivation of different
 suppliers to achieve this dynamic correction.

title: NFAT transcriptome in T-ALL

description: T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive malignancy
 with few available targeted therapies. We previously reported that the
 phosphatase calcineurin (Cn) is required for LIC (leukemia Initiating
 Capacity) potential of T-ALL pointing to Cn as an interesting therapeutic
 target. Calcineurin inhibitors have however unwanted side effects. NFAT
 transcription factors play crucial roles downstream of calcineurin during
 thymocyte development, T cell differentiation, activation and energy. Here
 we elucidate NFAT functional relevance in T-ALL. Using murine T-ALL models
 in which Nfat genes can be inactivated either singly or in combination, we
 show that NFATs are required for T-ALL LIC potential and essential to
 survival, proliferation and migration of T-ALL cells. We also demonstrate
 that Nfat genes are functionally redundant in T-ALL and identified a node
 of genes commonly deregulated upon Cn or NFAT inactivation, which may
 serve as future candidate targets for T-ALL.
description: 3 independent tumor (#21, #23 and #24) having floxed alleles for
 NFAT2 and NFAT4 genes and NFAT1 knockout were injected into mice and
 treated with either OIL (O) or TAMOXIFEN (T) to induce gene recombination
 resulting in NFAT-proficient (O) or NFAT-deficient (T) leukemic cells.

title: Innate preference hierarchies coupled with adult experience, rather than larval imprinting or transgenerational acclimation, determine host plant use in Pieris rapae

description: The evolution of host range drives diversification in phytophagous
 insects, and understanding the female oviposition choices is pivotal for
 understanding host specialization. One controversial mechanism for female
 host choice is Hopkins’ host selection principle, where females are
 predicted to increase their preference for the host species they were
 feeding upon as larvae. A recent hypothesis posits that such larval
 imprinting is especially adaptive in combination with anticipatory
 transgenerational acclimation, so that females both allocate and adapt
 their offspring to their future host. We study the butterfly Pieris rapae,
 for which previous evidence suggests that females prefer to oviposit on
 host individuals of similar nitrogen content as the plant they were
 feeding upon as larvae, and where the offspring show higher performance on
 the mother’s host type. We test the hypothesis that larval experience and
 anticipatory transgenerational effects influence female host plant
 acceptance (no-choice) and preference (choice) of two host plant species
 (Barbarea vulgaris and Berteroa incana) of varying nitrogen content. We
 then test the offspring performance on these hosts. We found no evidence
 of larval imprinting affecting female decision-making during oviposition,
 but that an adult female experience of egg laying in no-choice trials on
 the less-preferred host Be. incana slightly increased the P. rapae
 propensity to oviposit on Be. incana in subsequent choice trials. We found
 no transgenerational effects on female host acceptance or preference, but
 negative transgenerational effects on larval performance, because the
 offspring of P. rapae females that had developed on Be. incana as larvae
 grew slower on both hosts, and especially on Be. incana. Our results
 suggest that among host-species preferences are guided by hard-wired
 preference hierarchies linked to species-specific host traits and less
 affected by larval experience or transgenerational effects, which may be
 more important for females evaluating different host individuals of the
 same species.

title: Data from: Manipulating plant community composition to steer efficient N-cycling in intensively managed grasslands

description: 1. Minimizing nitrogen (N) losses and increasing plant N uptake in
 agroecosystems is a major global challenge. Ecological concepts from
 (semi)natural grasslands suggest that manipulating plant community
 composition using plants species with different traits may represent a
 promising opportunity to face this challenge. Here we translate these
 trait-based concepts to agricultural systems in a field experiment, aiming
 to reveal the main determinants of how plant community composition
 regulates N-cycling in intensively managed grasslands. 2. We focused on
 key N pools (plant N from soil and from biological N-fixation, soil
 mineral N, and N2O emissions) as well as on biological drivers of
 N-cycling in soil (abundance of N-cycling microbial communities, earthworm
 populations, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi), using three common grass
 and one legume species in monoculture, 2- and 4-species mixtures. We
 hypothesized that: (1) plant species mixtures increase plant N uptake,
 reduce soil mineral N concentrations and N2O emissions, and promote the
 abundance of biological N-cyclers; (2) legume presence stimulates N pools,
 fluxes, and biological N-cycling activity, (3) but in combination with a
 grass with acquisitive traits, more N is retained in the plant community,
 while N2O emissions are reduced. 3. We found that mixtures increased plant
 N and lowered the soil mineral N pool compared to monocultures. However,
 plant species identity played an overarching role: legume presence
 increased N2O emissions, plant N pools, soil mineral N, and the abundance
 of N-cycling microbes and earthworms. Combining the legume with a grass
 with low leaf dry matter content and high root length density (and with
 high root biomass) reduced the higher soil mineral N and N2O emissions
 induced by the legume, while harnessing positive effects on plant N pools
 and biological N-fixation. 4. Synthesis and applications. Our results
 unfold the potential of plant community composition to steer N-cycling in
 fertilized agroecosystems, paving the way for a more biologically-based
 agriculture. Legumes will play a crucial role, but selecting an optimum
 companion species is key for the sustainability of the agroecosystem.

title: Understanding what women want: eliciting preference for delivery health facility in a rural sub-County in Kenya, a discrete choice experiment

description: Objective: To identify what women want in a delivery health facility and
 how they rank the attributes that influence the choice of a place of
 delivery. Design: A Discrete Choice Experiment was conducted to elicit
 rural women’s preferences for choice of delivery health facility. Data
 were analyzed using both a conditional logit model to evaluate relative
 importance of the selected attributes. A mixed multinomial model evaluated
 how interactions with sociodemographic variables influence the choice of
 the selected attributes. Setting: Six health facilities in a rural
 sub-County. Participants: Women aged 18-49 years who had delivered within
 six weeks. Primary outcome: The DCE required women to select from
 hypothetical health facility A or B or opt-out alternative. Results: A
 total of 474 participants were sampled, 466 participants completed the
 survey (response rate 98%).The attribute with the strongest association
 with health facility preference was having a kind and supportive
 healthcare worker (β=1.184, p&lt;0.001), second availability of
 medical equipment and drug supplies (β=1.073, p&lt;0.001) and
 third quality of clinical services (β=0.826, p&lt;0.001).
 Distance, availability of referral services and costs were ranked 4th, 5th
 and 6th respectively (β=0.457, p&lt;0.001), (β=0.266
 p&lt;0.001), and (β=0.000018, p&lt;0.001). The opt-out
 alternative ranked last suggesting a disutility for home delivery.
 (β=-0.849, p&lt;0.001). Conclusion: The most highly valued
 attribute was a process indicator of quality of care followed by technical
 indicators. Policy makers need to consider women’s preferences to inform
 strategies that are person-centered and lead to improvements in quality of
 care during delivery.

title: Response of lion demography and dynamics to the loss of preferred larger prey

description: Large carnivores are experiencing range contraction and population
 declines globally. Prey depletion due to illegal offtake is considered a
 major contributor, but the effects of prey depletion on large carnivore
 demography are rarely tested. We measured African lion density and tested
 the factors that affect survival using mark-recapture models fit to six
 years of data from known individuals in Kafue National Park (KNP), Zambia.
 KNP is affected by prey depletion, particularly for large herbivores that
 were preferred prey for KNP lions a half-century ago. This provides a
 unique opportunity to test whether variables that explain local prey
 density also affect lion survival. Average lion density within our study
 area was 3.43 individuals per 100 km2 (95% CI: 2.79 – 4.23), which was
 much lower than lion density reported for another miombo ecosystem with
 similar vegetation structure and rainfall that was less affected by prey
 depletion. Despite this, comparison to other lion populations showed that
 age- and sex-specific survival rates for KNP lions were generally good,
 and factors known to correlate with local prey density had small effects
 on lion survival. In contrast, recruitment of cubs was poor and average
 pride size was small. In particular, the proportion of the population
 comprised of 2nd year cubs was low, indicating that few cubs are recruited
 into the sub adult age class. Our findings suggest that low recruitment
 might be a better signal of low prey density than survival. Thus,
 describing a lion population’s age structure in addition to average pride
 size may be a simple and effective method of initially evaluating whether
 a lion population is affected by prey depletion. These dynamics should be
 evaluated for other lion populations and other large carnivore species.
 Increased resource protection and reducing the underlying drivers of prey
 depletion are urgent conservation needs for lions and other large
 carnivores as their conservation is increasingly threatened by range
 contraction and population declines.

title: Desiccation limits recruitment in the pleometrotic desert seed-harvester ant Veromessor pergandei

description: The desert harvester ant Veromessor pergandei displays geographic
 variation in colony founding with queens initiating nests singly
 (haplometrosis) or in groups (pleometrosis).  The transition from
 haplo- to pleometrotic founding is associated with lower
 rainfall.  Numerous hypotheses have been proposed to explain the
 evolution of cooperative founding in this species, but the ultimate
 explanation remains unanswered.  In laboratory experiments, water
 level was positively associated with survival, condition, and brood
 production by single queens.  Queen survival also was positively
 influenced by water level and queen number in a two-factor
 experiment.  Water level also was a significant effect for three
 measures of queen condition, but queen number was not significant for any
 measure.  Foundress queens excavated after two weeks of
 desiccating conditions were dehydrated compared to alate queens captured
 from their natal colony, indicating that desiccation can be a source of
 queen mortality.  Long-term monitoring in central Arizona, USA,
 documented that recruitment only occurred in 4 of 20 years.  A
 discriminant analysis using rainfall as a predictor of recruitment
 correctly predicted recruitment in 17 of 20 years for total rainfall from
 January–June (the period for mating flights and establishment) and in 19
 of 20 years for early plus late rainfall (January–March and April–June,
 respectively), often with a posterior probability &gt; 0.90. 
 Moreover, recruitment occurred only in years in which both early and late
 rainfall exceeded the long-term mean.  This result also was
 supported by the discriminant analysis predicting no recruitment when
 long-term mean early and late rainfall were included as ungrouped
 periods.  These data suggest that pleometrosis in V. pergandei
 evolved to enhance colony survival in areas with harsh abiotic
 (desiccating) conditions, facilitating colonization of habitats in which
 solitary queens could not establish even in wet years.  This
 favorable-year hypothesis supports enhanced worker production as the
 primary advantage of pleometrosis.

title: Sibship reconstruction with SNPs illuminates the scope of a cryptic invasion of Asian Swamp Eels (Monotperus albus) in Georgia, USA

description: Cryptic invasive species are particularly problematic to study, manage,
 and control because of the difficulty detecting these species within their
 invaded habitats. Such is the case of the Asian Swamp Eel (Monopterus
 albus; ASE) where it is established in vegetated marshes along the
 Chattahoochee River, Georgia. Adult eels have been nearly impossible to
 detect or quantify with traditional sampling, although leaf-litter
 trapping of juvenile ASEs has been somewhat successful.In this study, we
 leveraged a collection of juveniles from the 2015 cohort and used
 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to reconstruct sibship among these
 juveniles in COLONY. Sibship reconstruction allowed us to learn about
 adult breeding behaviors and provided the first quantified estimates of
 breeder abundance. Pedigree reconstruction revealed that adults of both
 sexes were polygamous and likely traveled up to 0.5 km among marsh
 habitats during a single breeding season. Estimates of the number of
 breeding adults contributing to offspring (Ns) and the effective number of
 breeders (Nb) indicated an approximate minimum bound of 100 breeding
 adults in the marshes in 2015. Our study updated the invasion status of a
 cryptic population formerly riddled with uncertainty, highlighting that
 low captures of adult eels in the study area have been the result of low
 detectability, not low abundance. Given that low detectability would
 likely hinder removal efforts, our results suggest that future efforts
 could focus on suppression of ASE abundance when they are most vulnerable
 to capture and containing the spatial extent of the invasion.

title: Phosphorus deficiencies invoke optimal allocation of exoenzymes by ectomycorrhizas

description: Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi can acquire phosphorus (P) through the
 production of extracellular hydrolytic enzymes (exoenzymes), but it is
 unclear as to the manner and extent native EM fungal communities respond
 to declining soil P availability. We examined the activity of six
 exoenzymes (xylosidase, N-acetyl glucosaminidase, b-glucosidase, acid
 phosphomonoesterase, acid phosphodiesterase [APD], laccase) from EM roots
 of Pseudotsuga menzesii across a soil podzolization gradient of coastal
 British Columbia. We found APD activity increased 4-fold in a curvilinear
 association with declining inorganic P. Exoenzyme activity was not related
 to organic P content, but at a finer resolution using 31P-NMR, there was a
 strong positive relationship between APD activity and the ratio of
 phosphodiesters to orthophosphate of organic horizons (forest floors).
 Substantial increases (2 to 5-fold) in most exoenzymes were aligned with
 declining foliar P concentrations of P. menzesii, but responses were
 statistically better in relation to foliar nitrogen (N):P ratios. EM
 fungal species with consistently high production of key exoenzymes were
 exclusive to Podzol plots. Phosphorus deficiencies in relation to N
 limitations may provide the best predictor of exoenzyme investment,
 reflecting an optimal allocation strategy for EM fungi. Resource
 constraints contribute to species turnover and the assembly of distinct,
 well-adapted EM fungal communities.
