title: Fitness and fur colouration - testing the camouflage and thermoregulation hypotheses in an Arctic mammal

description: 1. Selection for crypsis has been recognised as an important ecological
 driver of animal coloration, whereas the relative importance of
 thermoregulation is more contentious with mixed empirical support. A
 potential thermal advantage of darker individuals has been observed in a
 wide range of animal species. Arctic animals that exhibit colour
 polymorphisms and undergo seasonal colour moults are interesting study
 subjects for testing the two alternative hypotheses: demographic
 performance of different colour morphs might be differentially affected by
 snow cover with a cryptic advantage for lighter morphs, or conversely by
 winter temperature with a thermal advantage for darker morphs. 
 2. In this study, we explored whether camouflage and thermoregulation
 might explain differences in reproduction and survival between the white
 and blue colour morphs of the Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) under natural
 conditions. 3. Juvenile and adult survival, breeding propensity, and
 litter size were measured for 798 captive-bred and released or wild-born
 Arctic foxes monitored during an 11-year period (2007-2017) in two
 subpopulations in south-central Norway. We investigated the proportion of
 the two colour morphs and compared their demographic performance in
 relation to spatial variation in duration of snow cover, onset of snow
 season, and winter temperatures. 4. After population re-establishment, a
 higher proportion of blue individuals was observed among wild-born Arctic
 foxes compared to the proportion of blue foxes released from the captive
 population. Our field study provides the first evidence for an effect of
 colour morph on the reproductive performance of Arctic foxes under natural
 conditions, with a higher breeding propensity of the blue morph compared
 to the white one. Performance of the two colour morphs was not
 differentially affected by the climatic variables, except for juvenile
 survival. Blue morph juveniles showed a tendency for higher survival under
 colder winter temperatures but lower survival under warmer temperatures
 compared to white morph juveniles.  5. Overall, our findings do
 not consistently support predictions of the camouflage or the
 thermoregulation hypotheses. The higher success of blue foxes suggests an
 advantage of the dark morph not directly related to disruptive selection
 by crypsis or thermoregulation. Our results rather point to physiological
 adaptations and behavioural traits not necessarily connected to
 thermoregulation, such as stress response, immune function, sexual
 behaviour, and aggressiveness. Our findings highlight the need to explore
 the potential role of genetic linkage or pleiotropy in influencing the
 fitness of white and blue Arctic foxes as well as other species with
 colour polymorphisms

title: Two new species of Litostigma (Gesneriaceae) from China Vietnam border area based on morphological and molecular data, and modification of stigma character of the genus

description: Litostigma is a recently described small genus with two species
 from limestone karsts from southwestern China. During the course
 of field works on the limestone karsts from China Vietnam border area,
 two unknown species of Litostigma were collected. Molecular
 phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear ITS sequences strongly confirm
 the placements of the two new species in Litostigma. Moreover,
 these two new species can be distinguished from the known two species
 with distinct morphological characters, further supporting their
 recognition as new species. With the support of morphological studies and
 molecular phylogenetic analyses, Litostigma pingbianense and L.
 napoense are recognized as two new species. The stigma character of
 Litostigma is modified in this paper, simple or divided stigmas
 may occur in this genus.

title: Hibiscus harlequin bug developmental, weight, and iridescence data

description: Despite the fact their colouration functions as an aposematic signal, and
 is thus expected to be under purifying selection, Hibiscus harlequin bugs
 (Tectocoris diophthalmus) show an impressive level of variation in their
 iridescent colouration both within and between populations. Previous work
 has shown that part of this variation may be due to plasticity in response
 to temperature. However, populations vary both in the extent of
 plasticity, and in the distribution of different colour patterns,
 suggesting a heritable component. To date no studies have examined the
 heritability of colouration in this species. Here we focus on a single
 population in the southern part of range, as these populations contain the
 greatest colour variation. We reared full-sib families of know pedigree in
 the laboratory and analysed the extent of iridescent colouration once they
 eclosed to adulthood. We then looked for evidence of heritability,
 condition dependence, and antagonistic sexual selection acting on colour
 in this species. We found surprisingly low levels of heritability for
 colouration, particularly in males. In addition there was no evidence that
 condition dependence played a role in the determination of adult
 colouration. There was, however, a sex by genotype interaction for
 iridescent cover, in the form of a negative intersexual genetic
 correlation: in families where sons had high iridescent cover the
 daughters had low, and vice-versa. Thus antagonistic sexual selection is
 unlikely to be maintaining diversity in colouration in this species.

title: Usefulness of self-hypnosis in patients undergoing double-lung transplantation during the pre and postoperative period: A randomized study

description: Objective: Hypnosis can reduce pain and anxiety in patients undergoing
 surgery. We hypothesize that implementing self-hypnosis in the setting of
 lung transplantation could improve patients’ experience. Methods: Patients
 were included in this randomized, single-center study after their
 registration on the waiting list unless they could not participate in
 self-hypnosis learning for cultural, cognitive or environmental reasons.
 The main outcome of the study was pain one month after lung
 transplantation. Secondary outcomes were pain, anxiety, coping,
 catastrophism, and quality of life evaluated at their registration, seven
 days after the transplantation, and one and four months after. Results: 78
 patients were included, 38 in the control group and 40 in the
 self-hypnosis group. 28 patients in the control group and 33 in the
 self-hypnosis group were evaluated at the 4th postoperative month.
 Practice of self-hypnosis was high before transplantation (76.6%). Pain at
 rest, evaluated using a 100 mm visual analogic scale one month after
 surgery, was 3.5 [IQR, 12.5] in the self-hypnosis group versus 10.5 [21.5]
 in the control group (p = 0.16). Group-time interactions were not
 statistically significant whatever the concerned variable. Conclusions:
 Self-hypnosis does not alter the pain profile, anxiety, coping,
 catastrophism, and quality of life of lung transplanted patients.

title: Nesting success and breeding data of southern house wren (Troglodytes aedon bonariae)

description: We present data on the breeding behaviour of a population of southern
 house wrens (Troglodytes aedon bonariae; Aves) in eastern Argentina during
 the breeding seasons of 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010
 (October-January).  The data correspond to two sites with
 different risk of nest predation.
description: Data was collected from a house wren population breeding in nest
 boxes during the 2007–2010 breeding seasons (October–January) in an
 area<br> near the town of General Lavalle (36°25′S, 56°57′W), Buenos
 Aires province, Argentina. The most relevant aspects of the reproductive
 activity (clutch size, clutch size, fledging success, number of
 fledglings) of individuals of this species were recorded through intensive
 systematic monitoring of nests during the breeding seasons from 2007 to
 2010. Many of the individuals from these nests were captured prior to the
 start of nesting and marked with combinations of coloured plastic rings
 and a numbered aluminium ring.

title: Data from: Enhanced light interception and light use efficiency explain overyielding in young tree communities

description: Diverse plant communities are often more productive than mono-specific
 ones. Several possible mechanisms underlie this phenomenon but their
 relative importance is unknown. Here we investigated whether light
 interception alone or in combination with light use efficiency (LUE) of
 dominant and subordinate species explained greater productivity of
 mixtures relative to monocultures (i.e. overyielding) in 108 young
 experimental tree communities. We found mixed-species communities that
 intercepted more light than their corresponding monocultures had 84%
 probability of overyielding. Enhanced LUE, which arose via several
 pathways, also mattered: the probability of overyielding was 71% when, in
 a mixture, species with higher “inherent” LUE (i.e. LUE in monoculture)
 intercepted more light than species with lower LUE; 94% when dominant
 species increased their LUE in mixture; and 79% when subordinate species
 increased their LUE. Our results suggest that greater light interception
 and greater LUE, generated by inter- and intra-specific variation,
 together drive overyielding in mixed-species forests.

title: A comparative analysis of analytical techniques for rapid oil spill identification

description: The complex chemical composition of crude oils presents many challenges
 for rapid chemical characterization in the case of a spill. A number of
 approaches are currently used to “fingerprint” petroleum‐derived samples.
 Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) is the most
 common, albeit not very rapid, technique; however, with GC‐MS alone, it is
 difficult to resolve the complex substances in crude oils. This study
 examined the potential application of ion mobility spectrometry–mass
 spectrometry (IMS‐MS), coupled with chem‐informatic analyses, as an
 alternative high‐throughput method for the chemical characterization of
 crude oils. We analyzed 19 crude oil samples from on‐ and off‐shore
 locations in the Gulf of Mexico region in the United States using both
 GC‐MS (biomarkers, gasoline range hydrocarbons, and n‐alkanes) and IMS‐MS
 (untargeted analysis). Hierarchical clustering, principal component
 analysis, and nearest‐neighbor‐based classification were used to examine
 sample similarity and geographical groupings. We found that direct
 injection IMS‐MS performed either equal or better than GC‐MS in the
 classification of the origins of crude oils. In addition, IMS‐MS greatly
 increased the sample analysis throughput (minutes versus hours per
 sample). Finally, a tabletop science‐to‐practice exercise, utilizing both
 the GC‐MS and IMS‐MS data, was conducted with emergency response experts
 from regulatory agencies and the oil industry. This activity showed that
 the stakeholders found the IMS‐MS data to be highly informative for rapid
 chemical fingerprinting of complex substances in general, and specifically
 advantageous for accurate and confident source‐grouping of crude oils.
 Collectively, this study shows the utility of IMS‐MS as a technique for
 rapid fingerprinting of complex samples and demonstrates its advantages
 over traditional GC‐MS based analyses when used for decision‐making in
 emergency situations.
description: Biomarker data for crude oils from the Gulf of Mexico and
 adjacent onshore regions. The biomarker data used in this study was
 originally reported in Kennicutt et al 1991. Approximately 100 mg of crude
 oil was spiked with a surrogate mixture (5β-cholane,
 d<sub>10</sub>-phenanthrene, ad
 d<sub>12</sub>-chrysene), and the mixture was then
 fractionated into its saturated and aromatic fractions using
 HPLC. GC-based petroleum biomarker analyses were carried out using the
 Hewlett-Packard 5890 GC coupled with Hewlett-Packard 5790A MSD.

title: Epistolary Pamphlets

description: These spreadsheets show the results of an effort to identify the
 epistolary pamphlet genre within the ECCO-TCP database. Sheet 1 shows the
 model's predictions of whether a particular text was an epistolary
 pamphlet while Sheet 2 identifies the tokens used to build the
 model. Overall, the model was able to identify the genre with 76
 percent accuracy.
description: This statistical analysis uses an L2-regularized logistic
 regression with feature subsetting. The optimal number of features
 to include in the model (<i>n = 1000</i>) and the optimal
 regularization constant (<i>C = 0.0001</i>) were learned by
 a grid search with five-fold cross validation. The predictions and
 coefficients reported in the paper were estimated by bootstrap. Because
 the numbemetr of texts in the training corpus was small (69 epistolary
 pamphlets by 39 authors), the results that are reported in this paper are
 subject to strenuous testing for validity and generalizability. In order
 to ensure that results will generalize beyond the small number of authors
 considered, the number of texts by each author was downsampled and
 cross-validation was performed by folding over authors rather than texts.
 In order to ensure the validity of the findings in this paper, statistical
 significance of all reported values was measured conservatively. While
 measures of significance would ideally be determined directly by
 bootstrap, that method would require an infeasible amount of computation
 time and memory for this study. Instead, only values whose bootstrapped
 distributions were approximately normal were considered, since their
 significance levels could be estimated by z-score. The threshold for
 significance was set at <i>p = 0.05 </i>with the Bonferroni
 adjustment.

title: No evidence for conspecific recruitment for cooperative hunting in lionfish Pterois miles

description: Lionfish are common piscivores in the Indo-Pacific and invasive in the
 Caribbean. A fin flaring pattern, involving a rapid undulation of the
 caudal fin and sequential turning of both pectoral fins, was described in
 zebra lionfish as a signal to initiate cooperative hunting, and it was
 hypothesized that such hunting tactics may also exist in other lionfish
 species and contribute to their successful invasion in the Caribbean.
 Here, we investigated one of those invasive species, Pterois miles, in its
 natural range in the Red Sea. We did not observe evidence for cooperative
 hunting in the field. We complemented field observations with a laboratory
 experiment aimed at inducing subjects to recruit partners for cooperative
 hunts, exposing subjects to inaccessible prey in a transparent housing as
 well as to a potential partner. We regularly observed the fin flaring
 pattern, but importantly it was not directed at the partner. Thus, rather
 than being a signal, the fin flaring movement pattern seems to be a
 swimming mode in a confined environment. Furthermore, the two lionfish did
 not aggregate at the prey housing, reinforcing the field results that this
 species in the Red sea does not depend on cooperation to hunt fish.

title: Good alimentation can overcome the negative effects of climate change on growth in reptiles

description: Climate change may lead to higher nest temperatures, which may increase
 embryo development rate, but reduce hatchling size and growth. Larger body
 size permits better performance, making growth an important fitness trait.
 In ectotherms, growth is affected by temperature and food quality. To
 segregate the effects of incubation temperature vs. alimentation on the
 growth of the Mexican black spiny tailed iguana Ctenosaura pectinata, we
 incubated eggs at 29 and 32ºC, and hatchlings were kept at 30ºC and fed
 either high- or low-quality food for one year, recording body size and
 mass every two weeks. Iguanas incubated at 29ºC grew faster than those
 incubated at 32ºC. However, food quality had a stronger effect on growth
 than incubation temperature; iguanas fed with high-quality food reached
 larger body sizes. Growth models suggested that differences in growth
 between incubation temperatures and food types remain throughout their
 lives. We found that incubation temperature had long-lasting effects on an
 ectotherm and higher incubation temperatures may lead to reduced growth
 and maturation at later age. However, food may transcend the effect of
 increased incubation temperature and thus good alimentation may mitigate
 climate change effects on growth.
description: Twelve gravid Mexican black
 spiny tailed iguana, <i>Ctenosaura pectinata</i>,<i>
 </i>females were maintained in captivity until
 oviposition. 40
 eggs were incubated at a stable 29ºC and 40 eggs at 32ºC. Hatchlings were individually housed
 and maintained at 28-32°C (mean = 30°C). Day light was provided from 8:00 to
 18:00h. 20 iguanas
 from each incubation temperature, 50% males and 50% females, were fed with
 either low-quality food (poultry food; Engordina 5D, Purina México) or
 high-quality food (rabbit food; Conejina, Purina México). Every two weeks for one year, we
 measured snout vent length (SVL) and body mass. For SVL we used a digital
 caliper (Absolute Digimatic Mitutoyo Caliper Model CD-6” C, Mitutoyo
 Corporation; ± 0.01 mm); and for body mass an analytical balance
 (Sartorius, BL 610, Sartorius AG Göttingen, Germany; ± 0.01 g).

title: Behavioral variability of hatchlings modifies dispersal potential in crown conch (Melongena corona): Why do larvae crawl away but sometimes swim?

description: The diversity and consequences of development in marine invertebrates has,
 for a long time, provided the opportunity to understand different
 evolutionary solutions to living in variable environments. However,
 discrete classifications of development can impede a full understanding of
 adaptation to variable environments when behavioral, morphological, or
 physiological flexibility and variation exists within traditionally
 defined modes of development. We report here novel behavioral variability
 in hatchlings of a marine gastropod, the Florida crown conch (Melongena
 corona), that has broad significance for understanding the correlated
 evolution of development, dispersal, and reproductive strategies in
 variable environments. All hatchlings crawl away from egg capsules after
 emergence as larval pediveligers. Some subsequently swim for a brief
 period (seconds to minutes) before crawling again. From detailed
 observations of 120 individuals over 30 days, we observed 28 (23.3%)
 hatchlings swimming at least once (8 – 50% per maternal brood). The
 propensity to swim was unrelated to time spent encapsulated or size at
 hatching, and lasted for 22 days. We manipulated hypothesized
 environmental cues, and found that the proportion of hatchlings that swam
 was highest in the absence of cues related to habitat or juvenile food,
 and lowest when only habitat cues were present. The relative growth rate
 of hatchlings was highest when habitats contained a putative juvenile food
 source. About 44% of hatchlings were competent to metamorphose at
 emergence, but did not metamorphose at this time in the lab or the field.
 The rate of metamorphosis increased with age and depended on the presence
 of unknown cues in the field. Crawl-away larvae with prolonged swimming
 ability may be an adaptation to balance the unpredictable risks of
 exclusively benthic or pelagic development and allow the option to
 disperse to higher quality habitat.
