title: Data from: Middle Permian fusulines from the Thitsipin Formation of Shan State, Myanmar and their palaeobiogeographical and palaeogeographical implications

description: Fusuline faunas including 29 species belonging to 19 genera/subgenera are
 described from the Thitsipin Formation in eight sections/localities on the
 Shan Plateau in eastern Myanmar. These fusulines broadly indicate a Midian
 (middle Permian, Guadalupian) age. The lower diversity and the presence of
 some genera, such as Monodiexodina and Eopolydiexodina, suggest that the
 Sibumasu Block belonged to the palaeobiogeographic Cimmerian Province
 during the Midian. Furthermore, quantitative cluster analyses of middle
 Permian fusulines from the Shan Plateau and adjacent Cimmerian blocks
 suggest close faunal affinities between the Sibumasu Block and the Baoshan
 Block in western Yunnan. More importantly, widespread occurrences of
 fusulines Eopolydiexodina afghanensis and Jinzhangia shengi on the Shan
 Plateau exhibit close similarities with contemporaneous fusuline faunas
 from the Baoshan Block and the South Qiangtang Block but evident
 differences from those of the Tengchong and Lhasa blocks, which are
 dominated by the characteristic Nankinella-Chusenella assemblage. This
 faunal discrepancy provides strong evidence that the Bangong-Nujiang
 suture passes through the Gaoligong Orogen in western Yunnan rather than
 the Myitkyina ophiolites in northern Myanmar. Additionally,
 palaeobiogeographical analyses of these fusuline faunas from the Lhasa,
 Tengchong, South Qiangtang, Baoshan and Sibumasu blocks imply that the
 Bangong-Nujiang Ocean might have been present before the Midian.

title: Clinical and Molecular Analysis in Two Families with Novel Compound Heterozygous SBP2 (SECISBP2) Mutations

description: Context: Selenocysteine insertion sequence binding protein 2 (SECISBP2,
 SBP2) is an essential factor for selenoprotein synthesis. Individuals with
 SBP2 defects have characteristic thyroid function tests (TFT)
 abnormalities due to deficiencies in the selenoenzymes deiodinases. Eight
 families with recessive SBP2 gene mutations have been reported to date. We
 report two families with inherited defect in thyroid hormone metabolism
 caused by four novel compound heterozygous mutations in the SBP2 gene.
 Case Descriptions: Proband 1 and 2 presented with growth and developmental
 delay. Both had characteristic TFT with high T4, low T3, high reverse T3
 and normal or slightly elevated TSH. The coding region of the SBP2 gene
 was sequenced and analysis of in-vitro translated wild type and mutant
 SBP2 proteins was performed. Sequencing of the SBP2 gene identified novel
 compound heterozygous mutations resulting in mutant SBP2 proteins E679D
 and R197* in proband 1, and K682Tfs*2 and Q782* in proband 2. In-vitro
 translation of the missense E679D demonstrated all four isoforms, while
 R197* had only two shorter isoforms translated from downstream ATGs, and
 Q782*, K682Tfs*2 expressed isoforms with truncated C-terminus. Reduction
 in serum glutathione peroxidase enzymatic activity was also demonstrated
 in both probands. Conclusions: We report two additional families with
 mutations in the SBP2 gene, a rare inherited condition manifesting global
 selenoprotein deficiencies. Report of additional families with SBP2
 deficiency and their evaluation over time is needed to determine the full
 spectrum of clinical manifestations in SBP2 deficiency and increase our
 understanding of the role played by SBP2 and selenoproteins in health and
 disease.

title: Modelling the impact of antibody-dependent enhancement on disease severity of ZIKV and DENV sequential and co-infection

description: Human infections with viruses of the genus Flavivirus, including dengue
 virus (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV), are of increasing global importance.
 Due to antibody dependent enhancement, secondary infection with one
 Flavivirus following primary infection with another {\it
 Flavivirus} can result in a significantly larger peak viral load with a
 much higher risk of severe disease. Although several mathematical models
 have been developed to quantify the virus dynamics in the primary and
 secondary infections of DENV, little progress has been made regarding
 secondary infection of DENV after a primary infection of ZIKV, or
 DENV-ZIKV co-infection. Here, we address this critical gap by developing
 compartmental models of virus dynamics. We first fitted the models to
 published data on dengue viral loads of the primary and secondary
 infections with the observation that the primary infection reaches its
 peak much more gradually than the secondary infection. We then
 quantitatively show that antibody dependent enhancement (ADE) is the key
 factor determining a sharp increase/decrease of viral load near the peak
 time in the secondary infection. In comparison, our simulations of DENV
 and ZIKV co-infection (simultaneous rather than sequential) show that ADE
 has very limited influence on the peak DENV viral load. This indicates
 pre-existing immunity to ZIKV is the determinant of a high level of ADE
 effect. Our numerical simulations show that 1)  in the absence of
 ADE effect, a subsequent co-infection is beneficial to the second virus;
 2) if ADE is feasible, then a subsequent co-infection can induce greater
 damage to the host with a higher peak viral load and a much earlier peak
 time for the second virus, and for the second peak for the first virus.

title: Catchment properties and the photosynthetic trait composition of freshwater plant communities

description: Unlike in land plants, photosynthesis in many aquatic plants relies on
 bicarbonate in addition to carbon dioxide (CO2) to compensate for the low
 diffusivity and potential depletion of CO2 in water. Concentrations of
 bicarbonate and CO2 vary greatly with catchment geology. In this study, we
 investigate whether there is a link between these concentrations and the
 frequency of freshwater plants possessing the bicarbonate use trait. We
 show, globally, that the frequency of plant species with this trait
 increases with bicarbonate concentration. Regionally, however, the
 frequency of bicarbonate use is reduced at sites where the CO2
 concentration is substantially above the air equilibrium, consistent with
 this trait being an adaptation to carbon limitation. Future anthropogenic
 changes of bicarbonate and CO2 concentrations may alter the species
 compositions of freshwater plant communities.

title: Comparing the strength of modular signal, and evaluating alternative modular hypotheses, using covariance ratio effect sizes with morphometric data

description: The study of modularity is paramount for understanding trends of
 phenotypic evolution, and for determining the extent to which covariation
 patterns are conserved across taxa and levels of biological organization.
 However, biologists currently lack quantitative methods for statistically
 comparing the strength of modular signal across datasets, and a robust
 approach for evaluating alternative modular hypotheses for the same
 dataset. As a solution to these challenges, we propose an effect size
 measure (Z_CR) derived from the covariance ratio, and develop
 hypothesis-testing procedures for their comparison. Computer simulations
 demonstrate that Z_CR displays appropriate statistical properties and low
 levels of misspecification, implying that it correctly identifies modular
 signal, when present. By contrast, alternative methods based on likelihood
 (EMMLi) and goodness of fit (MINT) suffer from high false positive rates
 and high model misspecification rates. An empirical example in
 sigmodontine rodent mandibles is provided to illustrate the utility of
 Z_CR for comparing modular hypotheses. Overall, we find that covariance
 ratio effect sizes are useful for comparing patterns of modular signal
 across datasets or for evaluating alternative modular hypotheses for the
 same dataset. Finally, the statistical philosophy for pairwise model
 comparisons using effect sizes should accommodate any future analytical
 developments for characterizing modular signal.

title: Data from: Temporal trends in body condition of arctic geese wintering in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley

description: Midcontinent populations of arctic nesting geese (hereafter, arctic
 geese), including greater white-fronted geese Anser albifrons frontalis,
 lesser snow geese Anser caerulescens caerulescens, and Ross’s geese Anser
 rossii have increased in abundance and shifted their winter distribution
 in recent decades. Consequently, the number of arctic geese wintering in
 the Mississippi Alluvial Valley (MAV) has increased since the 1980’s.
 Stored endogenous nutrients are critically important to the life cycle of
 arctic geese as they are used to complete long-distance migration events,
 survive harsh winters, and supplement nutrients needed for reproduction.
 This study tracked temporal changes in body condition of arctic geese
 during the wintering period. Arctic geese were collected from
 October–February 2015–2016 and 2016–2017 in eastern Arkansas, USA.
 Proximate analysis was used to determine size of lipid and protein stores
 as an index of body condition. Protein stores were more stable through
 time than lipids, but a slight increase was observed in all species as
 winter progressed. Mean lipid stores were dynamic and were highest in
 November (x̄ greater white-fronted = 442.6 g, x̄ snow = 308.0 g, x̄ Ross’s
 = 268.25 g) and lowest in February (x̄ greater white-fronted = 215.1 g, x̄
 snow = 142.0 g, x̄ Ross’s = 103.0 g). Greater white-fronted geese arrived
 earliest to the MAV and experienced an increase in endogenous lipid stores
 during early winter when high-energy food resources were most abundant.
 Conversely, snow and Ross’s geese arrived to the MAV later and did not
 appear to increase their lipid stores upon arrival. All three species
 experienced a decline in stored lipid mass as winter progressed; the
 decline may have been driven by a combination of factors such as resource
 depletion, a shift in dietary needs, physiological factors, hunting
 pressure, and increased energetic demands. An improved understanding of
 the role that “non-traditional” wintering grounds exert on the nutrient
 dynamics of arctic geese may aid in the management of growing and shifting
 populations.

title: Data from: Recurrent circuit dynamics underlie persistent activity in the macaque frontoparietal network

description: During delayed oculomotor response tasks, neurons in the lateral
 intraparietal area (LIP) and the frontal eye fields (FEF) exhibit
 persistent activity that reflects the active maintenance of behaviorally
 relevant information. Despite many computational models of the mechanisms
 of persistent activity, there is a lack of circuit-level data from the
 primate to inform the theories. To fill this gap, we simultaneously
 recorded ensembles of neurons in both LIP and FEF while macaques performed
 a memory-guided saccade task. A population encoding model revealed strong
 and symmetric long-timescale recurrent excitation between LIP and FEF.
 Unexpectedly, LIP exhibited stronger local functional connectivity than
 FEF, and many neurons in LIP had longer network and intrinsic timescales.
 The differences in connectivity could be explained by the strength of
 recurrent dynamics in attractor networks. These findings reveal reciprocal
 multi-area circuit dynamics in the frontoparietal network during
 persistent activity and lay the groundwork for quantitative comparisons to
 theoretical models.

title: Nutrient deposition on Arctic fox dens creates atypical tundra plant assemblages at the edge of the Arctic

description: Questions: In most ecosystems, some organisms can be considered ecosystem
 engineers because they modify their physical environment in a way
 that can affect many other organisms. Nutrient deposition may be
 extremely important as an ecosystem engineering activity in
 nutrient-limited environments, but this mechanism remains understudied. In
 low-Arctic tundra, a region characterized by continuous permafrost,
 low-nutrient soils, and slow nutrient turnover, Arctic foxes (Vulpes
 lagopus) concentrate nutrients on their dens through fecal deposition and
 feeding their young. This nutrient concentration enhances
 productivity in patches on the landscape, likely creating a
 unique habitat for a variety of plants, and could have cascading
 effects on the distribution and diversity of vegetation on the
 tundra.  Location: Low-Arctic tundra in Wapusk National Park,
 Manitoba, Canada Methods: We quantified differences in vegetation
 composition between 20 fox dens and adjacent control sites. 
 Results: Plant growth form differed greatly between dens, which were
 dominated by deciduous grasses near the coast and erect shrubs farther
 from the coast, and control sites, which were dominated by evergreen
 prostrate shrubs. Dens also had more forb cover and less cover of lichens,
 mosses, and sedges. Species composition also varied greatly between
 control and den areas, with 17 of the 20 species found in at least 10% of
 the sampled sites being indicator species for dens or control
 sites.  Conclusions: By providing habitat for plants reliant on
 higher nutrient availability not typical of tundra heath, Arctic foxes
 enhance the biodiversity of the region. These erect plants may also help
 create new habitat by retaining snow on normally windswept beach ridges.
 Overall, this study illustrates the broader impacts of predators on
 diversity and community composition through mechanisms other than
 predation.

title: Invasion promotes invasion: facilitation of C3 perennial grass dominance

description: 1. In the southern Great Plains (SGP) of the USA, encroachment of the
 native invasive woody legume, honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa Torr.),
 has caused a decline in C4 mid-grass abundance.  Prosopis
 glandulosa invasion has also facilitated growth of the C3 mid-grass
 species, Texas wintergrass (Nassella leucotricha [Trin & Rupr.]
 Pohl) initially beneath its canopy but extending to interspaces between P.
 glandulosa as stand density increases.  Little is known about the
 stability of the Prosopis/Nassella association, or C4 grass recovery
 following P. glandulosa disturbance. 2. We quantified C3 and C4 grass
 production in interspaces, and basal cover in interspaces and P.
 glandulosa subcanopy microsites for 9 years following P. glandulosa
 suppression (top-kill) and compared this to untreated P. glandulosa
 woodland (woodland).  3. The Prosopis/Nassella association
 limited the window of C4 mid-grass recovery to only a few years. 
 Nassella leucotricha dominated grass production during the first 3 years
 after top-kill.  C4 mid-grass recovery began in year 4, but was
 interrupted by severe drought in years 5 through 7.  Recovery
 resumed in year 8, due to above average summer rainfall, but P. glandulosa
 regrowth was large enough by this time to limit C4 mid-grass production to
 a third of its potential.  4. Nassella leucotricha basal cover
 remained dominant and stable in woodland subcanopy microsites, even during
 drought, and only briefly declined in top-kill subcanopy microsites before
 returning to pre-treatment levels by year 8 as P. glandulosa regrowth
 increased and provided shade. 5. Synthesis and applications.  A
 single suppression event had little impact on disrupting the
 Prosopis/Nassella association and allowing C4 mid-grass
 recovery.  The coupling of a deciduous, N-fixing C3 woody species
 with this C3 perennial grass may be a vegetative “state” that is resistant
 to multiple woody suppression disturbances, and permanently limits the
 transition back to C4 grassland.

title: Overfishing and the ecological impacts of extirpating large parrotfish from Caribbean coral reefs

description: The unique traits of large animals often allow them to fulfill functional
 roles in ecosystems that small animals cannot. However, large animals are
 also at greater risk from human activities. Thus, it is critical to
 understand how losing large animals impacts ecosystem function. In the
 oceans, selective fishing for large animals alters the demographics and
 size-structure of numerous species. While the community-wide impacts of
 losing large animals is a major theme in terrestrial research, the
 ecological consequences of removing large animals from marine ecosystems
 remain understudied. Here, we combine survey data from 282 sites across
 the Caribbean with a field experiment to investigate how altering the
 size-structure of parrotfish populations impacts coral reef communities.
 We show that Caribbean-wide, parrotfish populations are skewed towards
 smaller individuals, with fishes &lt;11 cm in length comprising nearly
 70% of the population in the most heavily fished locations versus ~25% at
 minimally fished sites. Despite these differences in size-structure, sites
 had similar overall parrotfish biomass. As a result, algal cover was
 unrelated to parrotfish biomass and instead, was negatively correlated
 with the density of large parrotfishes. To mechanistically explore how
 large parrotfishes shape benthic communities, we manipulated fishes’
 access to the benthos to create three distinct fish communities with
 different size-structure. We found that excluding large or large and
 medium-sized parrotfishes did not alter overall parrotfish grazing rates
 but caused respective 4- and 10-fold increases in algal biomass.
 Unexpectedly, branching corals benefited from excluding large parrotfishes
 whereas the growth of mounding coral species was impaired. Similarly,
 removing large parrotfishes led to unexpected increases in coral
 recruitment that were absent when both large and medium bodied fishes were
 excluded. Our data highlight the unique roles of large parrotfishes in
 driving benthic dynamics on coral reefs and suggests that diversity of
 size is an important component of how herbivore diversity impacts
 ecosystem function on reefs. This study adds to a growing body of
 literature revealing the ecological ramifications of removing large
 animals from ecosystems and sheds new light on how fishing down the
 size-structure of parrotfish populations alters functional diversity to
 reshape benthic reef communities.
