title: Assessing environmental DNA metabarcoding and camera trap surveys as complementary tools for biomonitoring of remote desert water bodies

description: Biodiversity assessments are indispensable tools for planning and
 monitoring conservation strategies. Camera traps (CT) are widely used to
 monitor wildlife and have proven their usefulness. Environmental DNA
 (eDNA)-based approaches are increasingly implemented for biomonitoring,
 combining sensitivity, high taxonomic coverage and resolution,
 non-invasiveness and easiness of sampling, but remain challenging for
 terrestrial fauna. However, in remote desert areas where scattered water
 bodies attract terrestrial species, which release their DNA into the
 water, this method presents a unique opportunity for their detection. In
 order to identify the most efficient method for a given study system,
 comparative studies are needed. Here, we compare CT and DNA metabarcoding
 of water samples collected from two desert ecosystems, the Trans-Altai
 Gobi in Mongolia and the Kalahari in Botswana. We recorded with CT the
 visiting patterns of wildlife and studied the correlation with the
 biodiversity captured with the eDNA approach. The aim of the present study
 was threefold: a) to investigate how well waterborne eDNA captures signals
 of terrestrial fauna in remote desert environments, which have been so far
 neglected in terms of biomonitoring efforts; b) to compare two distinct
 approaches for biomonitoring in such environments and c) to draw
 recommendations for future eDNA-based biomonitoring. We found significant
 correlations between the two methodologies and describe a detectability
 score based on variables extracted from CT data and the visiting patterns
 of wildlife. This supports the use of eDNA-based biomonitoring in these
 ecosystems and encourages further research to integrate the methodology in
 the planning and monitoring of conservation strategies.

title: Spy in the sky: a method to identify pregnant small cetaceans

description: Data on sex ratios, age classes, reproductive success and health status
 are key metrics to manage populations yet can be difficult to collect in
 wild cetacean populations. Long-term individual-based studies provide a
 unique opportunity to apply unoccupied aerial system (UAS) photogrammetry
 to non-invasively measure body morphometrics of individuals with known
 life history information. The aims of this study were 1) to compare length
 measurements from UAS photogrammetry with laser photogrammetry and 2) to
 explore whether UAS measurements of body width could be used to remotely
 determine pregnancy status, sex or age class in a well-studied bottlenose
 dolphin population in Scotland. We carried out five boat-based surveys in
 July and August 2017, with concurrent photo-identification, UAS, and laser
 photogrammetry. Photographs were measured using bespoke programmes,
 MorphMetriX for UAS photos and a Zooniverse project for laser photos. In
 total 64 dolphins were identified using photo-ID, 54 of which had
 concurrent UAS body length and 47 with laser body length measurements. We
 also measured body widths at 10% increments from 10-90% of body length for
 48 individuals of known sex, age class and/or pregnancy status. There was
 no significant difference in the length of individuals measured with UAS
 and laser photogrammetry. Discriminant analyses of the body width-length
 ratios expected to change during pregnancy, correctly assigned pregnancy
 status for 14 of the 15 females of known pregnancy status. Only one
 pregnant female was incorrectly assigned as not pregnant. However, our
 results showed that length and body width cannot accurately allocate these
 bottlenose dolphins to sex or age class using photogrammetry techniques
 alone. The present study illustrates that UAS and laser photogrammetry
 measurements are comparable for small cetaceans and demonstrates that UAS
 measurements of body width-length ratio can accurately assign pregnancy
 status in bottlenose dolphins.

title: Group composition of individual personalities alters social network structure in experimental populations of forked fungus beetles

description: Social network structure is a critical group character that mediates the
 flow of information, pathogens, and resources among individuals in a
 population, yet little is known about what shapes social structures. In
 this study, we experimentally tested whether social network structure
 depends on the personalities of group members. Replicate groups of forked
 fungus beetles (Bolitotherus cornutus) were engineered to include only
 members previously assessed as either more social or less social. We found
 that individuals behaved consistently across social contexts, exhibiting
 repeatable numbers of interactions and numbers of partners. At the group
 level, networks composed of more social individuals had higher interaction
 rates, higher tie density, higher global clustering, and shorter average
 shortest paths than those composed of less social individuals. We
 highlight group composition of personalities as a source of variance in
 group traits and a potential mechanism by which networks could evolve.
description: These data describe patterns of interaction among 20 mesocosm
 populations of <em>Bolitotherus cornutus</em> -- 10 initial
 populations in which individual phenotypes were scored, and 10 populations
 (5 each of the "high" or "low" sociality treatments)
 in which both individual and group phenotypes were scored. Social
 interactions were defined as individuals being in close proximity (within
 5cm) of one another, and were collected through scan sampling 3x a day for
 8 days in each session. Behavioral datasets were error-checked to remove
 all unidentifiable or dead beetles and all impossible or partially
 recorded interactions. Weighted social networks were created using the the
 simple ratio index. Weighted clustering and shortest path
 lengths were calculated in the R package tnet.

title: Data from: Germination niche breadth of invasive Iris pseudacorus (L.) suggests continued recruitment from seeds with climate warming

description: Understanding recruitment processes of invasive species is central to
 conservation and management strategies. Iris pseudacorus,an
 emergent macrophyte, has established invasive populations across a broad
 global range where it reduces biodiversity in wetland ecosystems. Climate
 warming is altering cues that drive germination, yet studies on the
 invasion of wetland macrophytes often ignore germination ecology despite
 its importance to their establishment and spread. The dataset includes
 data generated from a series of experiments conducted to improve
 understanding of the recruitment process of Iris pseudacorus (L.) in its
 invasive range. We explored germination of seeds from
 invasive I. pseudacorus populations in California in
 response to seed coat presence or absence, and environmental factors.
 Using experimental results in a thermal time model, we derived germination
 temperature thresholds. I. pseudacorus seeds did not require cold
 or warm stratification to germinate. We found germination was not impacted
 by the presence or absence of the seed coat. Germination occurred in the
 dark, although germinability was two to three-fold times greater under
 light. At constant temperature, thermal time model estimates
 included: 18.3 ± 1.8 °C base germination temperature; 28.2 ± 0.5
 °C optimal temperature; 41.0 ± 1.7 °C ceiling temperature. Seeds exposed
 to 36.0 °C achieved over 10% germination, and embryos of ungerminated
 seeds presented 76% viability. Overall, germinability remained relatively
 low at constant temperatures (≤ 25%) but was close to 90% under
 alternating daily temperatures.

title: Kernel weight contribution to yield genetic gain of maize: A global dataset of maize yield, kernel number, and kernel weight over the last century

description: Studies characterizing the effect of a century of plant breeding on
 physiological traits are highly needed to identify candidate traits for
 future improvement in maize (Zea mays L.). A global evaluation of kernel
 weight progress over time requires the assembly of large and reliable data
 documenting genetic improvements in this trait across commercial breeding
 programs in different regions. We compiled a global dataset of yield and
 yield components from 34 published and unpublished studies comparing two
 or more maize cultivars from different decades of commercial release under
 field conditions. The dataset includes 750 entries of kernel weight data
 (requirement to be included in the systematic review), of which 642 and
 666 include data entries of grain yield and kernel number, respectively.
 We also extracted the metadata describing experimental site information,
 agronomic management practices, and genotypic information. This dataset
 can be useful to identify trends of yield improvement across management
 conditions, with proper consideration of the trade-off between kernel
 number and kernel weight in maize.

 cultivars from different decades of commercial release collected from
 published literature. Missing values or information of studies are

title: Seasonal strategies differ between tropical and extratropical herbivores

description: Seasonal diet shifts and migration are key components of large herbivore
 population dynamics, but we lack a systematic understanding of how these
 behaviors are distributed on a macroecological scale. The prevalence of
 seasonal strategies is likely related to herbivore body size and feeding
 guild, and may also be influenced by properties of the environment, such
 as soil nutrient availability and climate seasonality. We evaluated the
 distribution of seasonal dietary shifts and migration across large-bodied
 mammalian herbivores and determined how these behaviors related to diet,
 body size, and environment. We found that herbivore strategies were
 consistently correlated with their traits: seasonal diet shifts were most
 prevalent among mixed feeding herbivores and migration among grazers and
 larger herbivores. Seasonality also played a role, particularly for
 migration, which was more common at higher latitudes. Both dietary shifts
 and migration were more widespread among extratropical herbivores, which
 also exhibited more intermediate diets and body sizes. Our findings
 suggest that strong seasonality in extratropical systems imposes pressure
 on herbivores, necessitating widespread behavioral responses to navigate
 seasonal resource bottlenecks. It follows that tropical and extratropical
 herbivores may have divergent responses to global change, with
 intensifying herbivore pressure in extratropical systems contrasting with
 diminishing herbivore pressure in tropical systems.

title: SNP genotypes for healthy and CIM-affected GSDs

description: German shepherd dogs (GSDs) are predisposed to an inherited motility
 disorder of the esophagus, termed congenital idiopathic megaesophagus
 (CIM), in which swallowing is ineffective and the esophagus is enlarged.
 Affected puppies are unable to properly pass food into their stomachs and
 consequently regurgitate their meals and show a failure to thrive, often
 leading to euthanasia. Here, we generated genome-wide SNP profiles for
 healthy and CIM-affected GSDs using the Illumina CanineHD BeadChip,
 containing 220,853 SNPs.

title: Audiovisual task switching rapidly modulates sound encoding in mouse auditory cortex

description: In everyday behavior, sensory systems are in constant competition for
 attentional resources, but the cellular and circuit-level mechanisms of
 modality-selective attention remain largely uninvestigated. We conducted
 translaminar recordings in mouse auditory cortex (AC) during an
 audiovisual (AV) attention-shifting task. Attending to sound elements in
 an AV stream reduced both pre-stimulus and stimulus-evoked spiking
 activity, primarily in deep layer neurons. Despite reduced spiking,
 stimulus decoder accuracy was preserved, suggesting improved sound
 encoding efficiency. Similarly, task-irrelevant probe stimuli during
 intertrial intervals evoked fewer spikes without impairing stimulus
 encoding, indicating that these attention influences generalized beyond
 training stimuli. Importantly, these spiking reductions predicted
 trial-to-trial behavioral accuracy during auditory attention, but not
 visual attention. Together, these findings suggest auditory attention
 facilitates sound discrimination by filtering sound-irrelevant spiking in
 AC, and that the deepest cortical layers may serve as a hub for
 integrating extramodal contextual information.
description: This dataset consists of extracellular physiology and behavioral
 measures recorded while mice performed an audiovisual rule-switching task
 (see corresponding manuscript). The task is separated into blocks, defined
 by their modality-specific rule. During the auditory rule (A-rule), mice
 used sound stimuli (tone clouds) to make decisions, while ignoring
 simultaneously presented visual stimuli (drifting gratings). During the
 visual rule (V-rule), mice used visual stimuli while ignoring
 sounds.  The physiology data comprises single unit
 spike times and waveforms, recorded using 64 channel linear silicon probes
 and an Intan acquisition system and spike sorted using KiloSort2 (Stringer
 et al. 2019). Behavioral lick response during the task was recorded using
 a photobeam lickometer. Animal locomotion was recorded with an optical
 sensor measuring movement of a floating treadmill. Pupillometry was used
 to determine engagement during the task and was measured from videos
 recorded of the left eye during the task. In between task trials, a random
 double sweep stimulus (Gourevitch et al. 2015) was used to map
 spectrotemporal receptive fields.  Data are included
 only for behavior sessions that met performance criterion (n = 23 from 10
 mice): d' sensitivity index of at least 1.5 for both auditory and
 visual rules and a false alarm rate of &lt;0.5 on the stimuli with
 conflicting reward values across rules
 (A<sub>U</sub>V<sub>R</sub> in A-rule and
 A<sub>R</sub>V<sub>U</sub> in V-rule).

title: What’s in a name? Taxonomic and gender biases in the etymology of new species names

description: As our inventory of Earth’s biodiversity progresses, the number of species
 given a Latin binomial name is also growing. While the coining of species
 names is bound by rules, the sources of inspiration used by taxonomists
 are an eclectic mix. We investigated naming trends for nearly 2900 new
 species of parasitic helminths described in the past two decades. Our
 analysis indicates that the likelihood of new species being given names
 that convey some information about them (name derived from morphology,
 host, or locality of origin) or not (named after an eminent scientist, or
 for something else) depends on the higher taxonomic group to which the
 parasite or its host belongs. We also found a consistent gender bias among
 species named after eminent scientists, with male scientists being
 immortalised disproportionately more frequently than female scientists.
 Finally, we found that the tendency for taxonomists to name new species
 after a family member or close friend has increased over the past twenty
 years. We end by formulating recommendations for future species naming,
 aimed at honouring the diverse scientific community regardless of gender
 or ethnicity and avoiding etymological nepotism and cronyism, while still
 allowing for creativity in crafting new Latin species names.

title: Evidence from automixis with inverted meiosis for the maintenance of sex by loss of complementation

description: The adaptive value of sexual reproduction is still debated. A short-term
 disadvantage of asexual reproduction is loss of heterozygosity, which
 leads to the unmasking of recessive deleterious mutations. The cost of
 this loss of complementation is predicted to be higher than the twofold
 cost of meiosis for most types of asexual reproduction. Automixis with
 terminal fusion of sister nuclei is especially vulnerable to the effect of
 loss of complementation. It is found, however, in some taxa including
 oribatid mites, the most prominent group of ancient asexuals. Here I show
 that automixis with terminal fusion is stable if it is associated with
 inverted meiosis, and that this appears to be the case in nature, notably
 in oribatid mites. The existence of automixis with terminal fusion, and
 its co-occurrence with inverted meiosis, therefore, is consistent with the
 hypothesis that loss of complementation is important in the evolution of
 sexual reproduction.
