title: Experimental study of macroscopic characteristics of sprays formed by impinging jets under flash-boiling conditions

description: <p>This data set contains the raw data used to perform the study reported in the paper: Kaźmierski B. and Kapusta Ł.J., “Experimental study of macroscopic characteristics of sprays formed by impinging jets under flash-boiling conditions”, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2026.128439 .</p><p><br /></p><p>The abstract of the above-mentioned research paper is provided below:</p><p><br /></p><p>“Liquid jets impinging on each other have been widely used in rocket engines to atomise the fuel and oxidiser. In the upper rocket stages, vacuum conditions occurring before the engine ignition evoke flash-boiling effects on the injected liquids. Consequently, the character of the interactions between the two colliding liquid jets changes significantly and impacts the atomisation process.</p><p>This study examined the flash-boiling effects on symmetrical impinging water jets and resultant sprays. Two synchronised cameras were used to observe the spray simultaneously from two perpendicular directions - normal and parallel to the plane of the colliding jets.</p><p>Results showed that the impingement of continuous liquid jets occurring in the subcooled regime transitioned into a collision between atomised sprays under strong flash-boiling conditions. For the first time, it was demonstrated that the post-impingement sprays generated by the two impinging flash-atomised jets are entirely different from those formed by interacting jets from multi-nozzle injectors with diverging nozzle axes. Moreover, these sprays resembled those formed by crossing gaseous jets, indicating that despite the disintegration of the jets before reaching the impingement point, momentum was effectively exchanged between the intersecting spray clouds. The resultant spray expanded primarily in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the colliding plumes, demonstrating an increase in the relevant spray angle from approximately 12° to 40° under fully developed flash-boiling conditions. These observations imply the primary significance of flash-evaporated liquid in the interaction process of two jets under flash-boiling conditions”.</p><p><br /></p>

title: Data from: Correlational selection on pro- and anti-inflammatory effectors

description: Parasites impose a permanent threat for hosts. As a consequence, immune
 defenses are important for host fitness. However, the immune response can
 also produce self-damage and impair host fitness if not properly
 regulated. Effectors that up- and down-regulate the immune response
 should, therefore, evolve in concert, and be under the action of
 correlational selection. To address this issue, we assessed the shape of
 the selection operating on pro- and anti-inflammatory effectors following
 an inflammatory challenge in laboratory mice. We found that selection acts
 on the combination of these two traits as individuals that produced large
 amount of pro-inflammatory cytokines could achieve relatively high fitness
 (survival) only if also producing a large amount of anti-inflammatory
 effectors. To our knowledge, this is the first study providing evidence
 for correlational selection on immunity.

title: Data from: Population genetics of jaguars (Panthera onca) in the Brazilian Pantanal: molecular evidence for demographic connectivity on a regional scale

description: Habitat loss and fragmentation are important threats to carnivores
 worldwide, and can be especially intense for large predators. Jaguars have
 already been extirpated from over half of their original area of
 distribution, and few regions still maintain large populations. For these,
 detailed understanding is crucial for setting appropriate recovery targets
 in impacted areas. The Pantanal is among the best examples of a region
 with a large jaguar population in a healthy environment. Here, we analyzed
 12 microsatellite loci to characterize genetic diversity and population
 structure of 52 jaguars sampled in 4 localities of the southern Pantanal,
 and compared them with prior studies of heavily fragmented populations of
 the Atlantic Forest. Although we observed some internal structure among
 the Pantanal localities, our results indicated that this area comprises a
 single population with high genetic variability. Moreover, our comparative
 analyses supported the hypothesis that the strong population structure
 observed in the Atlantic Forest derives from recent, anthropogenic
 fragmentation. We also observed significant but low levels of genetic
 differentiation between the Pantanal and Atlantic Forest populations,
 indicating recent connectivity between jaguars occurring in these biomes.
 Evidence for admixture between the Pantanal and a population on the
 western boundary of the Atlantic Forest corroborates the transitional
 nature of the latter area, where the jaguar population has already been
 extirpated. Our results can be used to understand jaguar population
 dynamics in a region that is less disturbed than the Atlantic forest, and
 to support the design of conservation strategies that maintain and restore
 natural connectivity among currently isolated areas.

title: Data from: Pre-dispersal seed predators and fungi differ in their effect on Luehea seemannii capsule development, seed germination and dormancy across two Panamanian forests

description: Pre-dispersal seed predation can greatly reduce crop size affecting
 recruitment success. Additionally, non-fatal damage by seed predators may
 allow infection by fungi responsible for post-dispersal seed losses. The
 objectives of this study were (1) to quantify pre-dispersal seed predation
 and fungal infection in a Neotropical tree species, Luehea seemannii, that
 produces dehiscent fruits and wind-dispersed seeds, and (2) to link
 pre-dispersal effects on seed quality to seed survival in the soil. To
 examine how seed predators and fungi influence seed losses, mesh
 exclosures, fungicide and the combination of both treatments were applied
 to separate branches in the canopy of trees in Gamboa and Parque Natural
 Metropolitano (PNM), Panama. To determine if treatments affect seed
 viability and survival in the soil, half of the seeds collected from each
 treatment were buried for four weeks in forest soils and subsequently
 allowed to germinate before and after the breaking of dormancy. Overall,
 24 percent of developing fruit were lost to insect attack. In contrast,
 fungi infected only 3 percent of seeds at the pre-dispersal stage. For
 seeds germinated directly after collection, fungicide significantly
 increased germination in the wetter site (Gamboa) but decreased
 germination in the drier site (PNM). The pre-dispersal insect exclosure
 treatment increased the fraction of seeds that remained dormant after
 burial in the soil. This result suggests that exposure to insect predators
 may cause physical damage to seeds that results in the loss of physical
 dormancy but does not necessarily increase the susceptibility of seeds to
 pathogen attack in the soil.

title: Data from: Separating the effects of water quality and urbanization on temperate insectivorous bats at the landscape scale

description: Many local scale studies have shown that bats respond to water quality
 degradation or urbanization in a species-specific manner. However, few
 have separated the effects of urbanization vs water quality degradation on
 bats, in single city or single watershed case studies. Across North
 Carolina, USA, we used the standardized North American Bat Monitoring
 Program mobile transect protocol to survey bat activity in 2015 and 2016
 at 41 sites. We collected statewide water quality and urban land cover
 data to disentangle the effects of urbanization and water degradation on
 bats at the landscape scale. We found that statewide, water quality and
 urbanization were not correlated. We found that bats responded to water
 quality degradation and urbanization independently at the landscape scale.
 Eptesicus fuscus and Lasiurus cinereus negatively responded to water
 quality degradation. Lasiurus borealis and Perimyotis subflavus positively
 responded to water quality degradation. Lasionycteris noctivagans did not
 respond to water quality degradation but was more active in more urbanized
 areas. Tadarida brasiliensis positively responded to urbanization and was
 less active in areas with degraded water quality. We show that bat-water
 quality relationships found at the local scale are evident at a landscape
 scale. We confirm that bats are useful bioindicators for both urbanization
 and water degradation. We suggest that water quality can be used to
 predict the presence of bat species of conservation concern, such as P.
 subflavus, in areas where it has not been studied locally.

title: Data from: Comparative genomics of the dairy isolate Streptococcus macedonicus ACA-DC 198 against related members of the Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus complex

description: Background: Within the genus Streptococcus, only Streptococcus
 thermophilus is used as a starter culture in food fermentations.
 Streptococcus macedonicus though, which belongs to the Streptococcus
 bovis/Streptococcus equinus complex (SBSEC), is also frequently isolated
 from fermented foods mainly of dairy origin. Members of the SBSEC have
 been implicated in human endocarditis and colon cancer. Here we compare
 the genome sequence of the dairy isolate S. macedonicus ACA-DC 198 to the
 other SBSEC genomes in order to assess in silico its potential adaptation
 to milk and its pathogenicity status. Results: Despite the fact that the
 SBSEC species were found tightly related based on whole genome phylogeny
 of streptococci, two distinct patterns of evolution were identified among
 them. Streptococcus macedonicus, Streptococcus infantarius CJ18 and
 Streptococcus pasteurianus ATCC 43144 seem to have undergone reductive
 evolution resulting in significantly diminished genome sizes and increased
 percentages of potential pseudogenes when compared to Streptococcus
 gallolyticus subsp. gallolyticus. In addition, the three species seem to
 have lost genes for catabolizing complex plant carbohydrates and for
 detoxifying toxic substances previously linked to the ability of S.
 gallolyticus to survive in the rumen. Analysis of the S. macedonicus
 genome revealed features that could support adaptation to milk, including
 an extra gene cluster for lactose and galactose metabolism, a proteolytic
 system for casein hydrolysis, auxotrophy for several vitamins, an
 increased ability to resist bacteriophages and horizontal gene transfer
 events with the dairy Lactococcus lactis and S. thermophilus as potential
 donors. In addition, S. macedonicus lacks several pathogenicity-related
 genes found in S. gallolyticus. For example, S. macedonicus has retained
 only one (i.e. the pil3) of the three pilus gene clusters which may
 mediate the binding of S. gallolyticus to the extracellular matrix.
 Unexpectedly, similar findings were obtained not only for the dairy S.
 infantarius CJ18, but also for the blood isolate S. pasteurianus ATCC
 43144. Conclusions: Our whole genome analyses suggest traits of adaptation
 of S. macedonicus to the nutrient-rich dairy environment. During this
 process the bacterium gained genes presumably important for this new
 ecological niche. Finally, S. macedonicus carries a reduced number of
 putative SBSEC virulence factors, which suggests a diminished pathogenic
 potential.

title: Data from: Between geometry and biology: the problem of universality of the species-area relationship

description: The species-area relationship (SAR) is considered to be one of a few
 generalities in ecology, yet a universal model of its shape and slope has
 remained elusive. Recently Harte et al. (2009) argued that the slope of
 the SAR for a given area is driven by a single parameter, the ratio
 between total number of individuals and number of species (i.e. the mean
 population size across species at a given scale). We provide a geometric
 interpretation of this dependence. At the same time, however, we show that
 this dependence cannot be universal across taxa: if it holds for a taxon
 composed from two subsets of species and also for one of its subsets, it
 cannot simultaneously hold for the other subset. Using three datasets, we
 show that the slope of the SAR considerably varies around the prediction.
 We estimate the limits of this variation using geometric considerations,
 providing a theory based on species spatial turnover at different scales.
 We argue that the SAR cannot be strictly universal, but its slope at each
 particular scale varies within the constraints given by species'
 spatial turnover at finer spatial scales, and this variation is
 biologically informative.

title: Data from: Rapid antagonistic coevolution in an emerging pathogen and its vertebrate host

description: Host-pathogen coevolution is assumed to play a key role in
 eco-evolutionary processes, including epidemiological dynamics and the
 evolution of sexual reproduction [1-4]. Despite this, direct evidence for
 host-pathogen coevolution is exceptional [5-7], particularly in vertebrate
 hosts. Indeed, although vertebrate hosts have been shown to evolve in
 response to pathogens or vice versa [8-12], there is little evidence for
 the necessary reciprocal changes in the success of both antagonists over
 time [13]. Here, we generate a time-shift experiment to demonstrate
 adaptive, reciprocal changes in North American house finches (Haemorhous
 mexicanus) and their bacterial pathogen, Mycoplasma gallisepticum [14-16].
 Our experimental design is made possible by the existence of
 disease-exposed and unexposed finch populations, which were known to
 exhibit equivalent responses to experimental inoculation until the recent
 spread of genetic resistance in the former [14, 17]. While inoculation
 with pathogen isolates from epidemic outbreak caused comparable sub-lethal
 eye-swelling in hosts from exposed (hereafter adapted) and unexposed
 (hereafter ancestral) populations, inoculation with isolates sampled after
 the spread of resistance were threefold more likely to cause lethal
 symptoms in hosts from ancestral populations. Similarly, the probability
 that pathogens successfully established an infection in the primary host
 and, before inducing death, transmitted to an uninfected sentinel was
 highest when recent isolates were inoculated in hosts from ancestral
 populations and lowest when early isolates were inoculated in hosts from
 adapted populations. Our results demonstrate antagonistic host-pathogen
 coevolution, with hosts and pathogens displaying increased resistance and
 virulence in response to each other over time.

title: Data from: Mycorrhizal symbioses influence the trophic structure of the Serengeti

description: It is known that tropical grasslands such as Serengeti host large
 populations of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and that they respond to
 abiotic and biotic factors. It is also known that AM symbioses are
 important for the uptake of essential plant nutrients, which, in turn,
 influences the biomass and nutritional quality of herbivores and their
 predators. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of
 AM symbioses on the biomass of different trophic levels of an ecosystem.
 To do this, we first measured the neutral lipid fatty acid biomarker
 16:1ω5 to estimate the biomass of AM fungi in a long-term grazing
 exclusion experiment. Then, we used model selection of Bayesian linear
 regressions to infer the primary factors that influence AM fungal biomass.
 Using model selection of different combinations of soil characteristics,
 we selected the best model using the leave-one-out cross-validation
 information criterion. Finally, we used the Madingley model to simulate
 the influence of AM fungi on higher trophic levels. We combined spatially
 explicit information about soil phosphorus and AM fungal biomass to
 explore the emergent patterns of the Serengeti resulting from AM
 symbioses. Our Bayesian analysis indicated that total soil phosphorus was
 the strongest predictor of AM fungal biomass, and there were significant
 interactions with grazing. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal biomass is lowest
 in soil where phosphorus is limited and increases with increasing
 phosphorus concentration. Biomass was also significantly higher in plots
 that were not grazed. The Madingley model indicated that nutritional
 benefits of AM symbioses maintain a substantial proportion of the biomass
 across all trophic levels. Synthesis. Our analysis shows that inputs of
 phosphorus through arbuscular mycorrhizal symbioses substantially increase
 the ability of plants to grow and maintain nutritional quality, cascading
 through the biomass of consumers and predators in the ecosystem. Although
 they account for less than 1% of the total modelled biomass, the predicted
 nutritional benefit provided by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi increased the
 biomass of macro-organisms in the Serengeti by 48%. When considering the
 management of biodiversity, future ecosystem models should account for the
 influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on all trophic levels.

title: Data from: Dipteran larvae and microbes facilitate nutrient sequestration in the Nepenthes gracilis pitcher plant host

description: The fluid-containing traps of Nepenthes carnivorous pitcher plants
 (Nepenthaceae) are often inhabited by organisms known as inquilines.
 Dipteran larvae are key components of such communities and are thought to
 facilitate pitcher nitrogen sequestration by converting prey protein into
 inorganic nitrogen, although this has never been demonstrated in
 Nepenthes. Pitcher fluids are also inhabited by microbes, although the
 relationship(s) between these and the plant is still unclear. In this
 study, we examined the hypothesis of digestive mutualism between N.
 gracilis pitchers and both dipteran larvae and fluid microbes. Using
 dipteran larvae, prey and fluid volumes mimicking in situ pitcher
 conditions, we conducted in vitro experiments and measured changes in
 available fluid nitrogen in response to dipteran larvae and microbe
 presence. We showed that the presence of dipteran larvae resulted in
 significantly higher and faster releases of ammonium and soluble protein
 into fluids in artificial pitchers, and that the presence of fluid
 microbes did likewise for ammonium. We showed also that niche segregation
 occurs between phorid and culicid larvae, with the former fragmenting prey
 carcasses and the latter suppressing fluid microbe levels. These results
 clarify the relationships between several key pitcher-dwelling organisms,
 and show that pitcher communities facilitate nutrient sequestration in
 their host.
