title: SH1916213.08FU

description: UNITE provides a unified way for delimiting, identifying, communicating, and working with DNA-based Species Hypotheses (SH). All fungal ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are clustered to approximately the species level by applying a set of dynamic distance values (<0.5 - 3.0%). All species hypotheses are given a unique, stable name in the form of a DOI, and their taxonomic and ecological annotations are verified through distributed, web-based third-party annotation efforts. SHs are connected to a taxon name and its classification as far as possible (phylum, class, order, etc.) by taking into account identifications for all sequences in the SH. An automatically or manually designated sequence is chosen to represent each such SH. These sequences are released (https://unite.ut.ee/repository.php) for use by the scientific community in, for example, local sequence similarity searches and next-generation sequencing analysis pipelines. The system and the data are updated automatically as the number of public fungal ITS sequences grows.

title: Data for: Selective dissolution of polysulfone support material of fused filament fabricated Ultem 9085 parts

description: A dataset for the publication: A. Chueca de Bruijn, G. Gómez-Gras, M. A. Pérez, Selective dissolution of polysulfone support material of fused filament fabricated Ultem 9085 parts, 2022

This study presents a time-effective, temperature-controlled methodology to dissolve the only commercially available Ultem 9085 support material. The process to select a novel solvent and its effects on Ultem’s mechanical performance in terms of compression, tensile and 3-point bending properties is addressed. At the same time, the influence of the chemical post-process on Ultem’s flammability is evaluated, given that the FST (flame, smoke, and toxicity) certification of this material is one of the most attractive properties for its applicability in certain industrial sectors. Results are supported by optical and scanning electron microscopy. The outcomes of this research are intended to provide practical recommendations for the use and scaling of the proposed solvent by the industrial sector.

This dataset contains:
- Tensile, flexural and compression tests results in .txt files
- SEM images of surface analysis 
- Digital microscopy images
- Kinematic viscosity test results
- Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy tests results in .txt files
- 3D models and drawings for tensile, flexural and compression samples, manufacturing files

title: Inter-sexual differences in contributions of helpers in a tropical population of the cooperatively breeding Grey-crowned Babbler <i>Pomatostomus temporalis</i>

description: The Grey-crowned Babbler <i>Pomatostomus temporalis</i> is a group-living, cooperatively breeding species in which offspring of both sexes are equally philopatric, but only male helpers inherit the natal territory. We quantified helping efforts in a tropical population of the babbler, and tested the hypothesis that inter-sexual differences in helping efforts are related to the chance of inheriting their natal territory. We found that the total nest visiting rate during the nestling period and fledging success were higher among larger groups, but dominant birds (breeders) did not decrease their effort with group size. The total nest visiting rate during the nestling period increased with the number of female helpers, and fledging success was higher in groups with a female-biased sex ratio. In contradiction of the above hypothesis, female helpers contributed more towards nestling care than male helpers, although the latter contributed more towards nest building. There was no tendency for helpers to contribute more care towards nestlings of related breeders than those of unrelated breeders, suggesting that indirect (kin selection) benefits for helpers may be less important than direct benefits in explaining helping behaviour in this population. Our study suggests there may be sex-specific differences in the costs and benefits of helping behaviour.

title: Out of the blue: geographic variation and divergence between Azure Jays (<i>Cyanocorax caeruleus</i>) from two ecologically distinct ranges

description: Underlying biological processes can often shape phenotypic variation. Although subtle, the variation in plumage colour of the Azure Jay (<i>Cyanocorax caeruleus</i>) has long been suggested to be of phylogeographic importance, but this hypothesis was not tested. This species’ distribution in the Atlantic Forest biome of south-eastern Brazil is divided into two ecologically distinct portions by the Serra do Mar mountain line. The availability of Parana Pine (<i>Araucaria angustifolia</i>) seeds is essential for the survival of Azure Jays in the western range but not in the eastern range. Here we quantify Azure Jay geographic variation using three datasets, including vocalisations, morphology and plumage colour. All available data independently supported the hypothesis of divergence between east and west. Azure Jays in the western range tend to have: (1) larger body dimensions, (2) vocalisations with lower pitch and entropy, and (3) a greenish-blue plumage, than those in the eastern range. Based on the available data on this species’ ecology, life history and sociality, we discuss how features from the western range could indicate specialisation in habitat use. We discuss potential links between our results and the past of the Atlantic Forest and the implications for this species conservation in a highly threatened habitat. Finally, we highlight the pressing need for demographic and molecular evidence to make data-oriented and effective decisions for this species conservation.

title: Weather conditions affect spring migration departure of Ruddy-headed Goose in the southern Pampas, Argentina

description: The Ruddy-headed Goose (<i>Chloephaga rubidiceps</i>) has two separate populations: one sedentary, which resides in the Falkland/Malvinas Islands and one migratory that overwinters mainly in the Pampas region (Argentina) and breeds in Southern Patagonia (Argentina and Chile). The migratory population has decreased considerably to less than 800 individuals and is categorised as Endangered in Argentina and Chile. Knowing the dates at which birds leave the wintering grounds might help to predict the arrival date at stopover sites and breeding areas. We aimed to examine the effect of meteorological conditions on the decision of Ruddy-headed Geese to start spring migration and their migration strategy. We used data from six adults, equipped with satellite transmitters, over 4 years (2015–2018), giving 12 individual departure dates. Weather conditions on departure dates were compared with that during the 15 preceding days. We tested the influence of weather conditions on the response variable measured as a comparison of pre-migration dates versus departure dates. Our results showed that Ruddy-headed Geese departure from their wintering grounds is in association with high wind speed, good visibility and low percentage of cloud cover. The relationship between meteorological conditions and the species decision to start spring migration is essential information for future management plans to prevent potential human-sheldgeese conflicts to escalate along their migration route. Recommendations for the conservation of this species that include implementing mitigation measures to reduce bird collision at human infrastructure, could be applied more specifically during the periods when birds are expected to arrive in each area.

title: Not-so-forbidden fruit: the potential conservation role of toxic <i>Pimelea microcephala</i> subsp. <i>microcephala</i> fruits for native arid zone birds

description: Food resources in arid habitats are important for the survival of native fauna, especially where resources provide water or key nutrients during dry periods. However, food resource plants can be susceptible to grazing species or may not be suitable for revegetating arid areas. <i>Pimelea microcephala</i> subsp. <i>microcephala</i> (<i>P.m.microcephala</i>) is an Australian dioecious shrub bearing bright fruit that are likely to attract birds. The plant is also noted for its production of simplexin, a compound toxic to mammals. The aims of our study were 1) to assess the nutrient and simplexin content of <i>P.m.microcephala</i> fruits, and 2) to confirm the identity of native avian species that consume the fruits. With both pieces of information, we could then determine the conservation utility of <i>P.m.microcephala</i>. Combining chemical analysis of fruit nutrients with field observations, we found that ripe fruits contain 60.5% water, 2.8% sugar, and potent antioxidants, which would likely be of nutritional benefit to consuming frugivores. The fruits also contain high levels of the toxin simplexin, which comprised 3.6% of ripe fruits by weight. We identified eight bird species interacting with <i>P.m.microcephala</i>, with at least five of these consuming ripe fruits. Our study demonstrates the potential for <i>P.m.microcephala</i> to contribute to revegetation and provide a food resource for arid zone birds, whilst being protected from grazing by the presence of simplexin. Further studies are needed to establish the species’ absolute significance in terms of fruits as a source of water and nutrients to arid zone bird diets.
