title: Common Blackbird weights, activity, fatty acid oxidation rates, and metabolic rates

description: Seasonal migration is a physiologically-demanding endeavor that animals
 prepare for by finding and storing energy. Species and populations vary in
 their tendencies to migrate, and the energetic demands of migration likely
 determine the degree and type of preparation that different animals
 undergo.  Birds fuel their migratory flight using stored fat.
 Previous work has suggested that in addition to being energetically-dense,
 certain lipids like polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may be
 particularly efficient fuels that are preferentially mobilized for flight
 or serve may additional functions, such as modulating membrane fluidity or
 stimulating gene expression as ligands, during long-distance migratory
 flight.  Using a series of behavioral and metabolic experiments
 in a common garden setting of Common Blackbirds (Turdus merula)
 populations that range from being fully-migratory to partially-migratory
 to sedentary, we asked how migratory restlessness (Zugunruhe), weight
 gain, and oxidation of stearic acid (18:0), oleic acid (18:1n-9), linoleic
 acid (18:2n-6), and alpha linolenic acid (18:3n-3; ALA) varied with
 migratory mode and season. We found no population-level differences in the
 timing of Zugunruhe. However, before migration, a greater
 proportion of individuals from fully-migratory populations exhibited
 weight gain and migratory restlessness, as well as increased oxidation of
 PUFAs. After Zugunruhe, only individuals from migratory populations showed
 reduced PUFA oxidation. All populations showed increased oxidation of
 saturated fat after Zugunruhe. Our results demonstrate that certain
 migratory traits, like the timing of Zugunruhe based on local
 environmental conditions, are more similar across populations, while
 others, like lipid oxidation, can vary at the population-level.

title: Spore germination and gametophore development of mosses in response to competition

description: Interactions between moss species in their earliest growth stages have
 received little attention. To what extent interspecific competition or
 priority effects influence spore germination, protonemal development, and
 gametophore emergence is unknown. We evaluated such effects in pairwise
 interaction between six common bryophyte species: Atrichum undulatum,
 Bryum argenteum, Ceratodon purpureus, Funaria hygrometrica, Hypnum
 cupressiforme, and Leptobryum pyriforme. Interspecific
 interactions were assessed in vitro. Spores were sterilized and sown on
 agar plates in three treatments: 1) as single species cultures (controls),
 2) as pairwise species cultures inoculated simultaneously, and 3) with a
 time lag of 20 days between species. Data on time needed for spore
 germination, germination rate, the time needed for gametophore
 differentiation, number of gametophores per germinated spore and average
 diameter of colonies were collected. We also performed spore germination
 tests in single-species cultures at the start and end of the study, as
 well as tests for density-dependency at spore germination and gametophore
 formation.
description: Spore germination and gametophore emergence were scored under a
 microscope and/or dissecting microscope. Data for
 each species is placed in a separate spreadsheet. In these sheets results
 from germination tests with controls, pairwise sowing of spores
 simultaneously or with 20 days interval is

title: Influence of ambient temperature on the phenology of the greater mouse-eared bat (Myotis myotis)

description: In order to assess the consequences of climate change and evaluate its
 impacts on wildlife, it is essential to do so on a species-specific level.
 It is assumed that changes in the ambient temperature influence energy
 consumption as well as food availability and thus foraging behaviour,
 reproduction, survival and therefore population dynamics in bats. Based on
 this assumption, the present study aims to gain insights into the roosting
 and breeding behaviour of the greater mouse-eared bat (Myotis myotis) in
 relation to changes of the ambient temperature. For this purpose, we
 investigated the effect of ambient temperature on the phenology of the
 greater mouse-eared bat by using activity data of the bats collected using
 light barriers at the maternity roosts. The light barrier used in this
 study is a system that detects the interruption of two light beams, e.g.
 by a flying bat, and displays it as an electrical signal. The
 investigations have shown that (1) the higher the winter temperatures, the
 earlier the greater mouse-eared bats returned to the roosts to form the
 maternity colony; however, this was only true for ambient temperatures
 below 0.5 °C, (2) birth season started earlier at higher spring
 temperatures, and (3) the dissolution of maternity roosts occurred earlier
 with an earlier birth season and at higher ambient temperatures during
 lactation. The results revealed that ambient temperature has an influence
 on the phenology of the greater mouse-eared bat. This study highlights
 that in order to understand the impact of climate change on biodiversity,
 it is necessary to investigate in detail effects on a species-specific
 level and also to consider direct and indirect effects of ambient
 temperature on different life history stages.

title: Data from: Unique drought resistance strategies occur among monkeyflower populations spanning an aridity gradient

description: This data repository contains the metadata and data to produce all results
 found in the manuscript titled: "Unique drought resistance strategies
 occur among monkeyflower populations spanning an aridity gradient".
 This repository includes two different datasets as well as associated
 readme files. One dataset (fileA) contains phenotype data from an
 experimental manipulation experiment taking place in growth chambers at
 the University of Louisiana, Lafayette. The second dataset contains data
 from a common garden experiment that contained offspring from the
 well-watered treatment of the experimental manipulation from fileA. This
 dataset contains both offspring and midparent values for the same
 phenotypes measured in the experimental manipulation. Datasets are both
 uploaded as .csv files. Please read the readme files for descriptions of
 the data in each .csv file.
description: Please see the methodology in FitzPatrick et al. 2023 as well as
 information within ReadMe files. Briefly, the phenotype data from fileA
 was collected across an experiment manipulating water availability
 (well-watered or dry-down conditions) planted with maternal lines from
 five populations that span an aridity gradient. The phenotype data from
 fileB was collected in a well-watered common garden and contained
 offspring from the experimental manipulation described in fileA.

title: Data from: Small molecule inhibitor of tau self-association in a mouse model of tauopathy: A preventive study in P301L tau JNPL3 mice

description: Advances in tau biology and the difficulties of amyloid-directed
 immunotherapeutics have heightened interest in tau as a target for small
 molecule drug discovery for neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we evaluated
 OLX-07010, a small molecule inhibitor of tau self-association, for the
 prevention of tau aggregation. The primary endpoint of the study was
 statistically significant reduction of insoluble tau aggregates in treated
 JNPL3 mice compared with Vehicle-control mice. Secondary endpoints were
 dose-dependent reduction of insoluble tau aggregates, reduction of
 phosphorylated tau, and reduction of soluble tau. This study was performed
 in JNPL3 mice, which are representative of inherited forms of 4-repeat
 tauopathies with the P301L tau mutation (eg, progressive supranuclear
 palsy and frontotemporal dementia). The P301L mutation makes tau prone to
 aggregation; therefore, JNPL3 mice present a more challenging target than
 mouse models of human tau without mutations. JNPL3 mice were treated from
 3 to 7 months of age with Vehicle, 30 mg/kg compound dose, or 40 mg/kg
 compound dose. Biochemical methods were used to evaluate self-associated
 tau, insoluble tau aggregates, total tau, and phosphorylated tau in the
 hindbrain, cortex, and hippocampus. The Vehicle group had higher levels of
 insoluble tau in the hindbrain than the Baseline group; treatment with 40
 mg/kg compound dose prevented this increase. In the cortex, the levels of
 insoluble tau were similar in the Baseline and Vehicle groups, indicating
 that the pathological phenotype of these mice was beginning to emerge at
 the study endpoint and that there was a delay in the development of the
 phenotype of the model as originally characterized. No drug-related
 adverse effects were observed during the 4-month treatment
 period.

 Ph.D. and the datasets were provided to Oligomerix which unblinded the
 study groups.
description: The data for each figure are provided in an Excel Spreadsheet
 using one sheet per figure (1-8). Each set of data
 includes the results for the Baseline, Vehicle and 30 and 40 mg/kg
 Treatment Groups. No outliers were removed from these

title: Individual bee foragers are less efficient transporters of pollen for the plants from which they collect the most pollen into their scopae

description: PREMISE: Bees provision most of the pollen they remove from anthers to
 their larvae and transport only a small proportion to stigmas, which can
 negatively affect plant fitness. Though most bee species collect pollen
 from multiple plant species, we know little about how the efficiency of
 bees’ pollen transport varies among host plant species, or how it relates
 to other aspects of generalist bee foraging behavior that benefit plant
 fitness, such as specialization on individual foraging bouts. METHODS: We
 compared the pollen collected and transported by three bee species for 46
 co-occurring plant species. Specifically, we compared the relative
 abundance of pollen taxa in individual bees’ scopae, structures where bees
 store pollen to provision larvae, with the relative abundance of pollen
 taxa on the rest of bees’ bodies, which is more likely to be transferred
 to stigmas.  RESULTS: Bees carried five times more pollen grains
 in their scopae than elsewhere on their bodies. Within foraging bouts,
 bees were relatively specialized in their pollen collection, but
 transported proportionally less pollen for the host plants on which they
 specialized. Across foraging bouts, two bee species transported
 proportionally less pollen for some of their host plants than for others,
 though differences didn’t consistently follow the same trend as at the
 foraging bout scale. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that foraging bout
 specialization, which is known to reduce heterospecific pollen transfer,
 also results in less efficient pollen transport. Thus, bee foragers that
 visit predominantly one plant species may have contrasting effects on that
 plant's fitness.

title: Lesser prairie-chicken habitat selection and survival relative to a wind energy facility located in a fragmented landscape

description: The overlap of renewable wind energy with the range of lesser
 prairie-chickens (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) raises concern of population
 declines and habitat loss. Lesser prairie-chickens are adversely affected
 by landscape change, however, it is unclear how this species may respond
 to wind energy development. Therefore, managers and wind energy developers
 are currently tasked with making management or siting recommendations of
 future wind energy facilities based on lesser prairie-chicken behavioral
 responses to other forms of anthropogenic development or responses of
 other grouse species to wind energy development. The current strategy of
 siting wind turbines in cultivated cropland within lesser prairie-chicken
 range has not been evaluated for its effectiveness at minimizing potential
 adverse impacts. We captured 60 female and 66 male lesser prairie-chicken
 from leks located along a gradient from wind turbines in southern Kansas,
 USA, from 2017–2021. Over the study period, we collected lesser
 prairie-chicken location data and demographic information to evaluate
 resource selection, movements, and demography relative to environmental
 predictors and metrics associated with the wind energy facility. Lesser
 prairie-chickens used habitats in close proximity to wind turbines,
 provided that turbine density was low; however, avoidance associated with
 cultivated cropland appeared to be more predictive than the presence of
 wind turbines. We observed movement between turbines suggesting that wind
 turbines did not act as a barrier to local movements. We did not detect an
 influence of wind turbines on nest success or individual survival during
 breeding or non-breeding periods, a relationship that is consistent among
 multiple grouse species using habitats near wind energy infrastructure.
 Additional research is necessary to evaluate impacts associated with wind
 energy development in intact lesser prairie-chicken habitats, but placing
 wind turbines in cultivated croplands or other fragmented landscapes
 appears to be an important siting measure when considering wind energy
 facility siting across the lesser prairie-chicken range.

title: Cambrian origin but no early burst in functional disparity for Class Bivalvia

description: Both the Cambrian Explosion, more than half a billion years ago, and its
 Ordovician aftermath some thirty-five million years later, are often
 framed as episodes of widespread ecological opportunity, but not all
 clades originating during this interval showed prolific rises in
 morphological or functional disparity. In a direct analysis of functional
 disparity, instead of the more commonly used proxy of morphological
 disparity, we find that ecological functions of Class Bivalvia arose
 concordantly with and even lagged behind taxonomic diversification, rather
 than the early-burst pattern expected for clades originating in supposedly
 open ecological landscapes. Unlike several other clades originating in the
 Cambrian Explosion, the bivalves' belated acquisition of key
 anatomical novelties imposed a macroevolutionary lag, and even when those
 novelties evolved in the Early Ordovician, functional disparity never
 surpassed taxonomic diversity. Beyond this early period of animal
 evolution, the founding and subsequent diversification of new major clades
 and their functions might be expected to follow the pattern of the early
 bivalves—one where interactions between highly dynamic environmental and
 biotic landscapes and evolutionary contingencies need not promote prolific
 functional innovation.

title: Data and code from: Will a large complex system be productive?

description: While the relationship between food web complexity and stability has been
 well documented, how complexity affects productivity remains elusive. In
 this study, we combine food web theory and a dataset of 149 aquatic food
 webs to investigate the effect of complexity (i.e., species richness,
 connectance, and average interaction strength) on ecosystem productivity.
 We find that more complex ecosystems tend to be more productive, although
 different facets of complexity have contrasting effects. A higher species
 richness and/or average interaction strength increases productivity,
 whereas a higher connectance often decreases it. These patterns hold not
 only between realized complexity and productivity but also characterize
 responses of productivity to simulated declines of complexity. Our model
 also predicts a negative association between productivity and stability
 along gradients of complexity. Empirical analyses support our predictions
 on positive complexity-productivity relationships and negative
 productivity-stability relationships. Our study provides a step forward
 toward reconciling ecosystem complexity, productivity and stability.

title: Frontopolar cortex represents complex features and decision value during choice between environments

description: Important decisions often involve choosing between complex environments
 that define future item encounters. Despite its importance for adaptive
 behaviour and distinct computational challenges, decision-making research
 primarily focuses on item choice ignoring environment choice altogether.
 Here we contrast previously studied item choice in ventromedial prefrontal
 cortex with lateral frontopolar cortex (FPl) linked to environment choice.
 Furthermore, we propose a mechanism for how FPl decomposes and represents
 complex environments during decision-making. Specifically, we trained a
 choice-optimized, brain-naive convolutional neural network (CNN) and
 compared predicted CNN activation with actual FPl activity. We showed the
 high dimensional FPl activity decomposes environment features to represent
 the complexity of an environment to make such choice possible. Moreover,
 FPl functionally connects with posterior cingulate cortex for guiding
 environment choice. Further probing FPl’s computation revealed a parallel
 processing mechanism in extracting multiple environment features.
