title: Dataset for: Organochlorines, perfluoroalkyl substances, mercury and egg incubation temperature in an Arctic seabird: insight from data loggers

description: In birds, incubation-related behaviors and brood patch formation are influenced by hormonal regulation like prolactin secretion. Brood patch provides efficient heat transfer between the incubating parent and the developing embryo in the egg. Importantly, several environmental contaminants are already known to have adverse effects on avian reproduction. However, relatively little is known about the effect of contaminants on incubation temperature (Tinc) for wild birds. By using temperature thermistors placed into artificial eggs, we investigated whether the most contaminated parent birds are less able to provide appropriate egg warming and thus less committed in incubating their clutch. Specifically, we investigated the relationships between three groups of contaminants (organochlorines (OCs), perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), and mercury (Hg)) with Tinc and also with prolactin concentrations and brood patch size in incubating Arctic black-legged kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla). Our results reveal that among the considered OCs, only blood levels of oxychlordane, the main metabolite of “chlordane”, a banned pesticide, were negatively related to the minimum incubation temperature in male kittiwakes. PFAS and Hg levels were unrelated to Tinc in kittiwakes. Moreover, our study suggests a possible underlying mechanism since we reported a significant and negative association between blood oxychlordane concentrations and the size of the brood patch in males. Finally, this reduced Tinc in the most oxychlordane-contaminated kittiwakes was associated with a lower egg hatching probability.

title: Intensification of dryland farming in Mali through mechanisation of sowing, fertiliser application and weeding

description: This study focuses on the role of mechanised sowing and weeding in combination with seed priming and fertiliser microdosing in Mali. Mechanised sowing and weeding were based on using a combined donkey-drawn planter/weeder and a motorised planter/weeder. The research methods included studies of seed delivery in manual and mechanised sowing, field experiments on different levels of mechanization/intensification, labour studies on mechanisation and an economic assessment of the different levels of intensification. The average sorghum grain yield across three years increased by 352 kg ha<sup>−1</sup> (43.7% increase) by combining mechanisation with seed priming and microdosing of 0.2 g NPK 15-15-15 fertiliser per pocket compared to a control with manual sowing but without seed priming and microdosing. The labour demand (sowing and weeding) for manual, donkey-drawn and motorised operations was 184, 67 and 47 hours ha<sup>−1</sup>, respectively. An economic analysis showed that the donkey-drawn planter/weeder is the appropriate mechanisation below six ha while above this land size it becomes increasingly interesting for the farmers to invest in a motorised planter. The use of mechanisation will result in earlier and uniform crop establishment, facilitate microdosing application, timelier weeding, higher yields, better economic return and reduced labour demand.

title: Sweet orange genetic transformation with the <i>attacin</i> A gene under the control of phloem-specific promoters and inoculation with <i>Candidatus</i> Liberibacter asiaticus

description: An alternative approach to control Huanglongbing disease in Citrus is the development of transgenic plants expressing genes that may influence pathogen development. We report herein the production of sweet orange transgenic plants bearing gene constructs containing the antimicrobial gene <i>attacin</i> A (<i>att</i>A) under the control of phloem-specific promoters. Transcripts of the <i>att</i>A gene were accumulated in the transgenic lines bearing the three gene constructs. However, phloem protein 2 promoters drive higher levels of <i>att</i>A mRNA than sucrose transporter 2 promoter. <i>Candidatus</i> Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) were transmitted to transgenic plants via infected Asian citrus psyllid or by grafting infected budwood. The efficiency of CLas transmission via infected psyllids was very low and therefore did not allow evaluating the influence of <i>att</i>A expression on bacteria multiplication. On the other hand, CLas transmission via grafting infected budwood was very efficient. Huanglongbing (HLB) symptoms were detected five months after inoculation in both transgenic and non-transgenic inoculated plants. CLas titers, determined 12 months after inoculation, were similar in both transgenic and non-transgenic inoculated plants. However, non-transgenic inoculated plants showed a significant reduction in shoot development comparing to transgenic inoculated plants indicating that the expression of <i>att</i>A gene may influence the plant tolerance to HLB disease.

title: Evolution of South American Paucituberculata (Metatheria: Marsupialia): adaptive radiation and climate changes at the Eocene- Oligocene boundary

description: The Eocene-Oligocene boundary (EOB) marks a period of remodeling in the metatherian faunas of South America. Paucituberculata was one of the groups that successfully diversified as the climate and environment conditions changed, and they became, during the first part of the Neogene, an important component of micromammal assemblages. Among paucituberculatans, the non-pichipilid palaeothentoids (NPP) has been recognized as the clade that diversified most widely in post-EOB times. Here we explore the evolutionary response of the NPP to the climatic-environmental changes around the EOB, by analysing the temporal patterns of disparity, taxonomic diversity and body mass in a phylogenetic context. To asses the magnitude of the NPP radiation comparisons based on these macroevolutionary parameters were done with its sister-group Pichipilidae, and its next closest relative, the Caenolestidae. In all considered parameters, NPP reached values significantly higher than the remaining paucituberculatans clades. From its initial diversification in the middle Eocene, taxonomic diversity increased through time, but it was decoupled from disparity across the EOB, and from the late Oligocene to early Miocene. The Oligocene emerges as the key period in NPP evolution, which is evidenced by a significant and concordant expansion of disparity and taxonomic diversity, suggesting evolution into empty ecospace.

title: Extending the Return Potential Model With a Descriptive Normative Belief Measure

description: Norm research continually informs our understanding of the relationships between societies and natural resources. This research note presents an operationalization of descriptive beliefs within the return potential model (RPM) framework. We observed significant differences between a traditional RPM measure of approval and a descriptive measure of commonness in the context of boaters’ aquatic invasive species mitigation behaviors. These results provide empirical evidence of two normative belief dimensions manifesting with different structure and characteristics within the same natural resources setting. The implications of these results are twofold: (1) they demonstrate the utility and added value of an RPM that conceptualizes and operationalizes multiple normative belief dimensions and (2) provide researchers and managers with a methodology that is complementary to established methods but improves the comprehensiveness of applied norm research within natural resource settings.

title: Dataset for: Trametes versicolor Glutathione Transferase Xi 3, a dual Cys-GST with catalytic specificities of both Xi and Omega classes

description: Glutathione transferases (GSTs) from the Xi and Omega classes have a catalytic cysteine residue which gives them reductase activities. Until now, they have been assigned distinct substrates. While Xi GSTs specifically reduce glutathionyl-(hydro)quinones, Omega GSTs are specialized in the reduction of glutathionyl-acetophenones. Here we present the study of TvGSTX1 and TvGSTX3 isoforms from the wood-degrading fungus Trametes versicolor. TvGSTX1 reduces GS-menadione as expected while TvGSTX3 reduces both Xi and Omega substrates. A structural analysis indicates a broader active site for TvGSTX3 due to specific differences in the nature of the residues situated in the C-terminal helix α9. This feature could explain the catalytic duality of TvGSTX3. Based on phylogenetic analysis we propose that this duality might exist in other fungi.

title: Performance of standard imputation methods for missing quality of life data as covariate in survival analysis based on simulations from the International Breast Cancer Study Group Trials VI and VII*

description: Imputation methods for missing data on a time-dependent variable within time-dependent Cox models are investigated in a simulation study. Quality of life (QoL) assessments were removed from the complete simulated datasets, which have a positive relationship between QoL and disease-free survival (DFS) and delayed chemotherapy and DFS, by missing at random and missing not at random (MNAR) mechanisms. Standard imputation methods were applied before analysis. Method performance was influenced by missing data mechanism, with one exception for simple imputation. The greatest bias occurred under MNAR and large effect sizes. It is important to carefully investigate the missing data mechanism.

title: Coexisting large carnivores: spatial relationships of tigers and leopards and their prey in a prey-rich area in lowland Nepal

description: In the Shuklaphanta National Park (Nepal), we sampled the spatial distributions and diel activity patterns of tigers and leopards during three winter (dry) seasons. Densities of both predators were similar and rather low (≤ 3/100 km<sup>2</sup>), but total prey base was high (&gt; 150 animals/km<sup>2</sup>). From camera trapping, 20 different tigers and leopards were identified. While leopards (9) were confined to areas along the reserve border, tigers (11) were located significantly farther inside, where the abundance of large-sized wild prey was higher and that of small-sized prey lower than closer to the border. In the inter-specific spatial overlap zones, the two species were never photographed at the same locations. Diel activity patterns did not differ. Normally, leopards avoid tigers owing to social interference. In our study, the spatial segregation was interpreted to be due to low predator-prey ratios (e.g., food not limiting for either species), with each species distributed in areas with highest densities of their preferred prey. Social interference behavior ‒ although probably occurring ‒ played a minor role. The concentration of leopards along the reserve border, coupled with a diet that included domestic dogs, suggest that different behavioral adaptations to anthropogenic factors might also have played a role.
