title: Data from: Endometrial decidualization status modulates endometrial microvascular complexity and trophoblast outgrowth in gelatin methacryloyl hydrogels

description: The endometrium undergoes rapid cycles of vascular growth, remodeling, and
 breakdown during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Decidualization is an
 endometrial differentiation process driven by steroidal sex hormones that
 is critical for blastocyst-uterine interfacing and blastocyst
 implantation. Certain pregnancy disorders may be linked to decidualization
 processes. However, much remains unknown regarding the role of
 decidualization and reciprocal trophoblast-endometrial interactions on
 endometrial angiogenesis and trophoblast invasion. Here, we report an
 engineered endometrial microvascular network embedded in gelatin
 methacryloyl hydrogels that displays morphological and functional patterns
 of decidualization. We show vessel complexity and soluble factor secretion
 are sensitive to decidualization and affect trophoblast motility. We also
 show that in our system, the signaling between endometrial and trophoblast
 cells was not bi-directional. Although endometrial microvascular network
 decidualization status influences the activity of trophoblast cells,
 trophoblast cells do not appear to influence structural changes in the
 endometrial microvascular network cultures. This finding has interesting
 implications as to the control of early stages of trophoblast motility
 from the endometrium but no marked early changes in its microvascular
 architecture in response to initial trophoblast implantation. These
 findings add to a growing literature that the endometrium has biological
 agency in the uterine-trophoblast interfacing process during implantation.
 Finally, we demonstrate the engineered microvascular networks can be
 combined with epithelial cultures to form a stratified endometrial
 tri-culture model. These endometrial microvascular networks provide a
 well-characterized platform to investigate dynamic changes in angiogenesis
 in response to pathological and physiological endometrial states.

title: Assessing beach wrack ecology at Crystal Cove State Park

description: Sandy beaches are highly dynamic ecosystems that are constantly changing
 due to physical and biological oceanographic factors, as well as human
 activity. In this study, we seek to understand the spatiotemporal
 variation in abundance and composition of wrack resource subsidies on
 beaches in Orange County, California through long-term monitoring within
 Crystal Cove State Park (CCSP). Nine subzones were surveyed monthly
 between November 2021 and April 2023 to assess abundance, species
 composition, and wrack characteristics. Across both space and time,
 seagrass (Phyllospadix spp.) and giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) are the
 most dominant wrack species. There are also periodic shifts in the
 dominant species, however, due to seasonal and environmental factors. Peak
 wrack abundances were observed in November 2021 and July 2022 when onshore
 abundance reached up to 90 L/m across all subzones. South-facing subzones
 experienced greater wrack abundance, and seagrass was often the main
 macrophyte in these areas. Visual analysis of offshore giant kelp biomass
 indicated that the largest occurrences of offshore kelp were not adjacent
 to subzones with the highest onshore kelp abundance. Our study indicates
 that beach wrack habitat in CCSP is highly variable, and an understanding
 of local processes, combined with long-term monitoring, can help inform
 management of this highly dynamic environment.
description: Our study site was divided as follows: Treasure Cove, Pelican
 Point, Scotchman’s Cove, Reef Point, and Moro. Each subzone was surveyed
 at regular intervals once per month. We created five random, 2.5-meter
 wide belts running down towards the water from a main perpendicular 100m
 primary transect.  For each pile within the belts, abundance data were
 collected by measuring length/width, noting trash and/or oil, and
 determining which species are present and most abundant. Three
 representative piles were then split up by species and measured for
 weight, volume, and desiccation. The dataset has been
 cleaned and all cleaned data was imported into RStudio for
 analysis.

title: The role of body mass in limiting post heat-coma recovery ability in terrestrial ectotherms

description: Under global warming, animal species show shrinking body size responses to
 heat, cascading into deep changes in community structure and ecosystem
 functions. Although the exact physiological mechanism behind this
 phenomenon remains unsolved, smaller individuals are expected to benefit
 from warming climate conditions more than larger ones. Heat-coma, a
 physiological state with severe consequences on locomotion ability, is
 often considered an “ecological death” scenario under which individuals
 are unable to escape and are exposed to predation, further heat injury,
 and other hazards. Species are expected to increasingly encounter
 heat-coma temperature thresholds under warming, and body size may be an
 important trait for thermoregulation in particular for ectotherms. The
 relationship between heat-coma and shrinking body size, however, remains
 unclear. Yet, recovery after short-term heat-coma is possible, and little
 is known about its importance in thermal adaptation and how organismal
 size changes respond to post heat-coma recovery. Here, we used ants, a
 classic model in ecophysiology, and first set an in situ experiment to
 examine the fate of heat-comatose individuals under field conditions to
 understand associated benefits of post heat-coma recovery. Then we
 quantified ants’ recovery ability after heat-coma using a coma-inducing
 dynamic thermal assay and asked if thermal resilience varies between
 species with different body mass. Our results confirm that heat-coma
 represents an inherent ecological death with recovery after heat coma
 limiting predator capture. Additionally, following phylogenetic signals
 inclusion, organisms with small mass were more likely to recover,
 supporting the temperature-size rule and of recent studies supporting a
 decrease in body size composition of ectotherm community under warmer
 climatic conditions. Body size as a fundamental trait in ecology thus
 affects ectotherm survival in extreme hot conditions, with our findings
 suggesting how temperature stress could ultimately affect species'
 body size and community composition.

title: Adzuna Australia skills demand data

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a widespread shift to remote work,
 reducing the level of face-to-face interaction between workers
 and changing their modes and patterns of communication.
 This study tests whether this transformation in production
 processes has altered the longstanding labour market trend of
 increasing demand for interpersonal skills. To address this question, we
 integrate an established skills taxonomy with the text of over 12
 million job postings (covering the period from 2015 to 2022) to
 measure trends in skills demand at the aggregate and occupational levels.
 We find that since the start of the pandemic there has been a
 significant and sustained acceleration in the aggregate demand
 for interpersonal skills. We also find a strong positive association
 between an occupation’s propensity for remote work and the level
 of acceleration in interpersonal skills demand for the
 occupation. Our findings suggest that interpersonal skills continue to
 grow in importance for employment in the post-pandemic, remote
 work friendly labour market.
description: These datasets were created by using
 proprietary Adzuna Australia job postings data to compute the proportions
 of job postings that mention different skills. An overview of each dataset
 is provided below. Full details are provided in the README
 file.  Dataset 1: Skill class mentions
 monthly.  This dataset provides the proportion of the
 job postings that mention each skill class (interpersonal, digital,
 analytical, and manual) in each month. Skill classes were defined using
 the ESCO taxonomy, as per the manuscript.  Dataset 2:
 Level 2 ESCO skill mentions monthly. This dataset
 provides the proportion of the job postings that mention each level 2 ESCO
 skill in each month.  Dataset 3: Skill class mentions
 by occupation.  This dataset provides the proportion of
 the job postings between July-December 2022 that mention each skill class
 (interpersonal, digital, analytical, and manual) for each occupation
 (2-digit ANZSCO).

title: Host species differences in the thermal mismatch of host–parasitoid interactions

description: Extreme high temperatures associated with climate change can affect
 species directly, and indirectly through temperature-mediated species
 interactions. In most host–parasitoid systems, parasitization inevitably
 kills the host, but differences in heat tolerance between host and
 parasitoid, and between different hosts, may alter their interactions.
 Here, we explored the effects of extreme high temperatures on the
 ecological outcomes – including, in some rare cases, escape from the
 developmental disruption of parasitism – of the parasitoid wasp, Cotesia
 congregata, and two co-occurring congeneric larval hosts, Manduca sexta
 and M. quinquemaculata. Both host species had higher thermal tolerance
 than C. congregata, resulting in a thermal mismatch characterized by
 parasitoid (but not host) mortality under extreme high temperatures.
 Despite parasitoid death at high temperatures, hosts typically remain
 developmentally disrupted from parasitism. However, high temperatures
 resulted in a partial developmental recovery from parasitism (reaching the
 wandering stage at the end of host larval development) in some host
 individuals, with a significantly higher frequency of this partial
 developmental recovery in M. quinquemaculata than in M. sexta. Hosts
 species also differed in their growth and development in the absence of
 parasitoids, with M. quinquemaculata developing faster and larger at high
 temperatures relative to M. sexta. Our results demonstrate that
 co-occurring congeneric species, despite shared environments and
 phylogenetic histories, can vary in their responses to temperature,
 parasitism and their interaction, resulting in altered ecological
 outcomes.

title: The role of environmental variation in mediating fitness tradeoffs for an amphibian polyphenism

description: Fitness tradeoffs are a foundation of ecological and evolutionary theory
 because tradeoffs can explain life history variation, phenotypic
 plasticity, and the existence of polyphenisms.  Using a 32-year
 mark-recapture dataset on lifetime fitness for 1,093 adult Arizona tiger
 salamanders (Ambystoma mavortium nebulosum) from a high elevation,
 polyphenic population, we evaluated the extent to which two life history
 morphs (aquatic paedomorphs vs terrestrial metamorphs) exhibited fitness
 tradeoffs in breeding and body condition with respect to environmental
 variation (e.g., climate) and internal state-based variables (e.g., age).
 Both morphs displayed a similar response to higher probabilities of
 breeding during years of high spring precipitation (i.e., not indicative
 of a morph-specific fitness tradeoff). There were likely no
 climate-induced fitness tradeoffs on breeding state for the two life
 history morphs because precipitation and water availability are vital to
 amphibian reproduction.  Body condition displayed a contrasting
 response for the two morphs that was indicative of a climate-induced
 fitness tradeoff. While metamorphs exhibited a positive relationship with
 summer snowpack conditions, paedomorphs were unaffected. Fitness tradeoffs
 from summer snowpack are likely due to extended hydroperiods in temporary
 ponds, where metamorphs gain a fitness advantage during the summer growing
 season by exploiting resources that are unavailable to paeodomorphs.
 However, paedomorphs appear to have the overwintering fitness advantage
 because they consistently had higher body condition than metamorphs at the
 start of the summer growing season.  Our results reveal that
 climate and habitat type (metamorphs as predominately terrestrial,
 paedomorphs as fully aquatic) interact to confer different advantages for
 each morph. These results advance our current understanding of fitness
 tradeoffs in this well-studied polyphenic amphibian by integrating
 climate-based mechanisms. Our conclusions prompt future studies to explore
 how climatic variation can maintain polyphenisms and promote life history
 diversity, as well as the implications of climate change for polyphenisms.
   
description: We used a trait by environment modeling approach to determine the
 effects of natural environmental variation on the different fitness
 parameters of two life history morphs in a polyphenic population of tiger
 salamanders. We provide an excel datafile on the lifetime detection
 histories of individual salamander, an excel datafile on annual climatic
 conditions for the study population, the associated R code for all
 analyses, and a READ ME document to explain the different
 datafiles.

title: Roadside rights-of-way as pollinator habitat: a literature review

description: Pollination of crops and naturally-occurring flowering plants is a
 critical ecosystem service provided by managed and unmanaged animal
 pollinators. Insects are the most studied pollinators, particularly
 managed honey bees, unmanaged wild bees, and butterflies. Bees and
 butterflies thrive in early-successional habitat featuring grasses,
 exposed soil, wildflowers, and shrubs, which is consistently found within
 transportation and utility rights-of-way (ROW). However, intensive
 management of ROW can reduce the amount of high-quality pollinator
 habitat; such practices include frequent mowing, broadcast herbicide use,
 and planting non-native cool season grasses. Here, we review peer-reviewed
 academic and non-peer-reviewed gray literature describing ROW management
 practices and their effects on pollinator populations. Both information
 sources consistently recommend these management practices to provide
 pollinator habitat in ROW and promote plant and pollinator diversity and
 abundance: Reduce mowing frequency and time mowing to pollinator
 activity.  Target herbicide applications to undesirable plant
 species using backpack sprayers. Plant native seeds, seedlings, or shrubs,
 leaving some exposed soil for nesting. We considered threats to plants and
 pollinators associated with ROW, including traffic volume and mortality,
 noise, light, and air pollution, and habitat fragmentation. The literature
 indicates that these threats vary widely across road sizes, types, and
 landscape contexts and suggests that the overall negative impacts do not
 outweigh the potential benefits of promoting pollinator habitat in ROW.
 Landscape context also influences the composition of ROW plant and
 pollinator communities. Many state Departments of Transportation have
 incorporated integrative vegetation management (IVM) principles into ROW
 management, and we summarize a number of case studies here. Restoration
 projects in high-visibility areas are common; these can lead to public
 support for additional pollinator habitat enhancement. Implementing new
 management practices can be difficult; therefore, we discuss strategies to
 aid in successful adoption, including gathering public support,
 collaborations between public and private agencies, and innovative funding
 opportunities. While assessing vegetation management impacts on bee and
 butterfly communities in ROW is a rapidly expanding area of research,
 there are still many gaps in current knowledge. We conclude this report by
 addressing these gaps and provide suggestions for further study.

title: Genetic erosion in an endangered desert fish during a multi-decadal megadrought despite long-term supportive breeding

description: Human water use combined with a recent megadrought have reduced river and
 stream flow through the Southwestern United States and led to periodic
 drying of formerly perennial river segments. Reductions in snowmelt runoff
 and increased extent of drying collectively threaten short-lived, obligate
 aquatic species, including the endangered Rio Grande Silvery Minnow. This
 species experiences ‘boom-and-bust’ population dynamics where large
 fluctuations in abundance are expected to lower estimates of effective
 population size and erode genetic diversity over time. Rates of diversity
 loss are also affected by additions of hatchery-origin fish used to
 supplement the wild population. We leveraged demographic and genetic data
 from wild and hatchery individuals to understand the relationship of
 genetic diversity and effective population size to abundance over the last
 two decades. Genetic diversity was low during the early 2000s, but
 diversity and demographic metrics stabilized after the hatchery program
 was initiated and environmental conditions improved. Yet, from 2017
 onward, allelic diversity declined (Cohen’s d=1.34) and remains low
 despite hatchery stocking and brief wild population recovery. Across the
 time series, single-sample estimates of effective population size (NeD)
 were positively associated (r=0.53) with wild/total abundance, but as the
 proportion of hatchery-origin spawners increased, NeD was reduced
 (NeD r= -0.55). Megadrought limits wild spawner abundance and precludes
 refreshment of hatchery brood stocks with wild fish, hence we predict an
 increasingly hatchery-dominated population, and accelerated loss of
 genetic diversity despite supplementation. We recommend an adaptive and
 accelerated management plan that integrates river flow management and
 hatchery operations to slow the pace of genetic diversity loss exacerbated
 by megadrought.

title: Data for: Functional response metrics explain and predict high but differing ecological impacts of juvenile and adult lionfish

description: Recent accumulation of evidence across taxa indicates that the ecological
 impacts of invasive alien species are predictable from their Functional
 Response (FR; e.g. the maximum feeding rate) and Functional Response Ratio
 (FRR; the FR attack rate/handling time ratio). Here, we experimentally
 derive these metrics to predict the ecological impacts of both juvenile
 and adult lionfish (Pterois volitans), one of the world’s most damaging
 invaders, across representative and likely future prey types. Potentially
 prey-population destabilising Type II FRs were exhibited by both life
 stages of lionfish towards four prey species: Artemia salina, Gammarus
 oceanicus, Palaemonetes varians and Nephrops norvegicus. FR magnitudes
 revealed ontogenetic shifts in lionfish impacts, while lionfish FRR values
 were substantially higher than mean FRR values across known damaging
 invasive taxa. Thus, both life stages of lionfish are predicted to
 contribute to differing but high ecological impacts across prey
 communities, including commercially important species. With lionfish
 invasion ranges currently expanding across multiple regions globally,
 efforts to reduce lionfish numbers and population size structure, and
 provision of prey refugia through habitat complexity, might reduce their
 impacts. However, early detection and complete eradication of individuals
 located in new regions is advised.

title: A case of forensic genomics in Uganda reveals animal ownership and low exotic genetic introgression in indigenous cattle

description: The cattle industry contributes to Uganda’s agricultural output. It
 however faces challenges that include theft and parentage ascertainment.
 These challenges can benefit from recent developments in genomics and
 bioinformatics technologies. In the current study, we provided a
 proof-of-concept conflict resolution method based on the available bovine
 genomic tools. Briefly, two farmers we refer to as A and B contested for
 ownership of a group of 9 cattle. To offer objective and data-based
 guidance to resolving this conflict, we sampled hair samples of the 9
 contested cattle as well as 7 and 2 cattle from farmers A and B
 respectively that were identified by these farmers as the closest
 relatives of the contested animals. DNA was extracted from each of the
 collected hair samples and subsequently genotyped on the Illumina
 BovineSNP50-24 version 3 BeadChip for 53218 DNA Single Nucleotide
 Polymorphisms (SNP) variants. Upon genotype data cleaning we retained
 ~30,000 SNPs which were used for different genomic analyses including
 principal component analysis, identity by state (IBS) analysis, and
 hierarchical clustering analysis, to establish the genetic relationships
 within and between the investigated animal groups.
