title: OTU data and analysis files for interspecies comparison of Philippine terrestrial small mammal diets

description: Island radiations represent unique evolutionary histories in unique
 ecological contexts. These radiations provide opportunities to investigate
 ecological diversification in groups that typically exhibit niche
 partitioning among their constituents, including partitioning of food
 resources. DNA metabarcoding produces finer levels of diet identification
 than traditional methods, allowing us to examine dietary niche
 partitioning in communities or clades in which species share superficially
 similar diets. Here we use DNA metabarcoding to investigate dietary niche
 partitioning in an endemic radiation of mammals in the Philippines. Our
 data reveal niche partitioning as well as phylogenetically-uncorrelated
 adaptive evolution in this small mammal community. Because 70% of the
 focal species belong to the tribe Chrotomyini, an endemic Philippine
 radiation of murid rodents that feed extensively on earthworms, this study
 sheds light on dietary adaptation and its role in the co-occurrence of
 closely related species. Our results reveal fine-scale resource
 partitioning within this community; our data provide compelling evidence
 for niche partitioning of diet that was masked by previous diet categories
 and will help in further dissecting the model adaptive radiation of
 endemic small mammals on Luzon. This study reinforces the notion that DNA
 metabarcoding can be a valuable tool for investigating both ecological
 relationships and evolutionary ecology at the community and phylogenetic
 level, respectively.

title: Diet mediates thermal performance traits: implications for marine ectotherms

description: Thermal acclimation is a key process enabling ectotherms to cope with
 temperature change. To undergo a successful acclimation response,
 ectotherms require energy and nutritional building blocks obtained from
 their diet. However, diet is often overlooked as a factor that can alter
 acclimation responses. Using a temperate omnivorous fish, opaleye (Girella
 nigricans), as a model system, we tested the hypotheses that 1) diet can
 impact the magnitude of thermal acclimation responses and 2) traits vary
 in their sensitivity to both temperature acclimation and diet. We fed
 opaleye a simple choice omnivorous diet (ad libitum Artemia sp. and Ulva
 sp.) or a fixed carnivorous diet (ad libitum Artemia sp.) at two
 ecologically relevant temperatures (12 and 20°C) and measured a suite of
 whole animal (growth, sprint speed, metabolism), organ (cardiac thermal
 tolerance), and cellular-level traits (oxidative stress, glycolytic
 capacity). When opaleye were offered two diet options compared to one,
 they had reduced cardiovascular thermal performance and higher standard
 metabolic rate under conditions representative of the maximal seasonal
 temperature the population experiences (20&[deg]C). Further,
 sprint speed and aerobic scope were insensitive to diet and temperature,
 while growth was highly sensitive to temperature but not diet, and
 standard metabolic rate and maximum heart rate were sensitive to both diet
 and temperature. Our results reveal that diet influences thermal
 performance in trait-specific ways, which could create diet trade-offs for
 generalist ectotherms living in thermally variable environments.
 Ectotherms that alter their diet may be able to regulate their performance
 at different environmental temperatures. --

title: Genesis locations of the costliest atmospheric rivers impacting the Western United States (insurance claim data)

description: Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are responsible for the vast majority
 (approximately 88%) of flood damage in the Western U.S, an annual average
 of USD$1.1 billion. Here, using historical flood insurance data, we
 investigate the genesis characteristics of damaging ARs in the Western
 U.S. ARs exceeding USD$20 million in damage (90th percentile), are shown
 to travel further across the Pacific Ocean, with median genesis locations
 8° to 27° further westward compared to typical ARs. Identifying regions of
 preferential genesis of damaging ARs elicit important implications for AR
 observation campaigns, highlighting distant regions not currently
 considered for AR reconnaissance. The genesis of damaging ARs is
 associated with elevated upper-level zonal wind speeds along with deeper
 cyclonic anomalies, most pronounced for Washington and Oregon ARs. Linking
 AR dynamics and lifecycle characteristics to economic damage provides an
 opportunity for impact-based forecasting of ARs prior to landfall,
 supporting efforts to mitigate extreme flood damages.

title: Dehydrated males are less likely to dive into the mating pool

description: The hydration state of animals vying for reproductive success may have
 implications for the tempo and mode of sexual selection, which may be
 salient in populations that experience increasing environmental
 fluctuations in water availability. Using red-sided garter snakes as a
 model system, we tested the effect of water supplementation on courtship,
 mating behavior, and copulatory plug (CP) production during a drought
 year. Over three days of mating trials, water-supplemented males (WET
 males, n = 45) outperformed a control group that was not supplemented with
 water (DRY males, n = 45). Over 70% of WET males mated but just 33% of DRY
 males did so. As a group, WET males mated 79 times vs 28 times by DRY
 males. On the last day of mating trials, over 70% of WET males were still
 courting, with 19 of them mating, whereas less than 25% of DRY males were
 courting and only one mated. CP deposition accounted for 4-6% of the mass
 lost by mating males, but hydration did not affect CP mass or water
 content. These findings suggest that, in years of low water availability,
 the number of courting males and the intensity of their courtship
 declines, thereby affecting sexual selection and conflict, at least within
 that year.

title: Tiwi Island native mammal live-trapping 2019

description: This data was collected as part of the National Environmental Science
 Program's Threatened Species Recovery Hub (Project 1.1.12 -
 Mitigating cat impacts on the brush-tailed rabbit-rat). This dataset
 includes all live captures of native mammals recorded on the Tiwi Islands
 (Melville and Bathurst) in 2019. Live-trapping was conducted at four
 locations (Cape Fourcroy, Ranku, Pickertaramoor and Cache Point). At each
 of these sites, a grid of 300 live-traps (225 Sherman traps and 75 cage
 traps) were deployed in 30 rows of 10 traps (spaced 20 m apart) for four
 consecutive nights. This trapping was conducted on two separate occasions
 (June and October) in 2019. Individual animals were marked with ear tags
 and microchips permitting spatial-capture-recapture analyses.

title: Three oaks Microsatellite data

description: Knowledge of interspecific divergence and population
 expansions/contractions of dominant forest trees in response to geological
 events and climatic oscillations is of major importance to
 understand their evolution and demography. However, the
 interspecific patterns of genetic differentiation and spatiotemporal
 population dynamics of three deciduous Cerris oak species (Q.
 acutissima, Q. variabilis and Q. chenii) that are widely
 distributed in China remain poorly understood. In this study, we genotyped
 16 nuclear loci in 759 individuals sampled from 44 natural populations of
 these three sibling species to
 evaluate the plausible demographical scenarios
 of the closely related species. We also tested the hypothesis that macro-
 and microevolutionary processes of the three species had
 been triggered and molded by Miocene–Pliocene geological events
 and Quaternary climatic change. The Bayesian cluster analysis
 showed that Q. acutissima and Q.
 chenii were clustered in the same group, whereas Q. variabilis
 formed a different genetic cluster. An approximate
 Bayesian computation (ABC) analyses suggested that Q. variabilis
 and Q. acutissima diverged from their most common
 ancestor around 19.84 Ma, and subsequently Q. chenii diverged from Q.
 acutissima at about 9.6 Ma, which was significantly associated
 with the episodes of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP). In addition,
 ecological niche modeling and population history analysis showed that
 these three Cerris oak species repeatedly underwent
 considerable ‘expansion–contraction’ during the interglacial and
 glacial periods of the Pleistocene, although they have varying degrees of
 tolerance for the climatic change. Overall, these findings indicated
 geological and climatic changes during the Miocene–Pliocene and
 Pleistocene as causes of species divergence and range shifts of
 dominant tree species in the subtropical and warm temperature areas in
 China.

title: Dynamic morphological plasticity in response to emergence timing in Abutilon theophrasti (Malvaceae)

description: Selections on emergence time might be conflicting, suggesting the
 existence of the optimal emergence time for plants. However, we know
 little about this and how morphological plasticity contributes to the
 strategies of plants in response to emergence timing. To better understand
 this issue in a dynamic perspective, we conducted a field experiment by
 subjecting plants of Abutilon theophrasti to four emergence treatments
 (ET1~ET4) and measuring a number of mass and morphological traits on them
 at different growth stages (I~IV). At day 50, 70 and/or final harvest,
 among all ET treatments, plants germinated in late spring (ET2) performed
 the best in total mass, spring germinants (ET1) and ET2 performed better
 in stem allocation, stem and root diameters than later germinants (ET3 and
 ET4); summer germinants (ET3) had the highest reproductive mass and
 allocation, while late-summer germinants (ET4) had the greatest leaf mass
 allocation, with greater or canalized leaf number and root length traits
 than others. Plants that emerged in late spring can maximize their growth
 potential, while those with either advanced or delayed emergence are still
 capable of adaptation via allocation and morphological plasticity. Early
 germinants (ET1 and ET2) preferred stem growth to leaf and reproductive
 growth, due to sufficient time for reproduction in growth season. With
 limited time for growth, plants emerged late may prefer to quicken leaf
 growth (indicated by increased leaf mass allocation and leaf number) at
 the cost of stem or root growth for complete life cycle, reflecting both
 positive and negative effects of delayed emergence.

title: PRMI: A dataset of minirhizotron images for diverse plant root study

description: Understanding a plant's root system architecture (RSA) is crucial for
 a variety of plant science problem domains including sustainability and
 climate adaptation. Minirhizotron (MR) technology is a widely-used
 approach for phenotyping RSA non-destructively by capturing root imagery
 over time. Precisely segmenting roots from the soil in MR imagery is a
 critical step in studying RSA features. In this paper, we introduce a
 large-scale dataset of plant root images captured by MR technology. In
 total, there are over 72K RGB root images across six different species
 including cotton, papaya, peanut, sesame, sunflower, and switchgrass in
 the dataset. The images span a variety of conditions including varied root
 age, root structures, soil types, and depths under the soil surface. All
 of the images have been annotated with weak image-level labels indicating
 whether each image contains roots or not. The image-level labels can be
 used to support weakly supervised learning in plant root segmentation
 tasks. In addition, 63K images have been manually annotated to generate
 pixel-level binary masks indicating whether each pixel corresponds to root
 or not. These pixel-level binary masks can be used as ground truth for
 supervised learning in semantic segmentation tasks. By introducing this
 dataset, we aim to facilitate the automatic segmentation of roots and the
 research of RSA with deep learning and other image analysis algorithms.
description: This dataset contains over 72 thousand RGB root images across six
 different species including cotton, papaya, peanut, sesame, sunflower, and
 switchgrass.  In addition, The images span a variety of conditions
 including varied root age, root structures, soil types, and depths under
 the soil surface. All the images were collected by Minirhizotron
 technology. We compiled this dataset using the raw images directly from
 the camera sensor. We paired binary image-level labels for each image
 showing whether the image contains roots along with meta-data such as crop
 species, collection location, MR tube number, collection time, collection
 depth, and image resolution. In addition, over 63 thousand of the images
 have been manually annotated to generate pixel-level binary masks
 indicating whether the pixels correspond to root or not.
description: This dataset is mainly used for plant root segmentation tasks. We
 have pixel-level annotation (binary masks) for supervised learning and
 image-level annotation (whether image contains root) for weakly-supervised
 learning.

title: Urbanization extends flight phenology and leads to local adaptation of seasonal plasticity in Lepidoptera

description: Urbanization is globally gaining force and challenges biodiversity but has
 recently also emerged as an agent of evolutionary change. Seasonal
 phenology and life-cycle regulation are essential processes that
 urbanization is likely to alter through both the urban-heat-island effect
 (UHI) and artificial-light-at-night (ALAN). However, how UHI and ALAN
 affect the evolution of seasonal adaptations has received little
 attention. Here, we test for urban evolution of seasonal life-history
 plasticity, specifically changes in the photoperiodic induction of
 diapause in two lepidopterans, Pieris napi (Pieridae) and Chiasmia
 clathrata (Geometridae). We used long-term data from standardized
 monitoring and citizen science observation schemes to compare yearly
 phenological flight curves in six cities in Finland and Sweden to those of
 adjacent rural populations. This analysis showed for both species that
 flight seasons are longer and end later in most cities, suggesting a
 difference in timing of diapause induction. Then, we used common-garden
 experiments to test whether evolution of the photoperiodic reaction norm
 for diapause could explain these phenological changes for a subset of
 these cities. These experiments demonstrated a genetic shift for both
 species in urban areas towards a lower daylength threshold for direct
 development, consistent with predictions based on the UHI but not ALAN.
 The correspondence of this genetic change to the results of our
 larger-scale observational analysis of in situ flight phenology indicates
 that it may be widespread. These findings suggest that seasonal life-cycle
 regulation evolves in urban ectotherms and may contribute to
 eco-evolutionary dynamics in cities.

title: Weightlifting during the COVID-19 pandemic—A transnational study regarding motivation, barriers, and coping of master athletes

description: Sport has been heavily impacted by the pandemic for over a year with
 restrictions and closures of facilities. The main aims of this study are
 to identify motivation and barriers for an international group of Master
 weightlifters (ages 35 and up) and analyze age and gender differences in
 pandemic-related changes to physical activities. A sample of 1051 older
 athletes, 523 women and 528 men, aged from 35 to 88 years, from Australia,
 Canada, Europe, and the USA provided responses to an online survey
 conducted in June 2021. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed to
 examine age, gender, and regional differences about motivation, barriers,
 and pandemic impact on sport and physical activities. Participants showed
 enthusiasm for the opportunity to compete despite health challenges with
 increasing age but faced barriers due to access to training facilities and
 qualified coaches even before the pandemic. The oldest athletes had the
 greatest reduction in physical activities during the pandemic.
 Weightlifters had the opportunity to compete in virtual competitions and
 44% would like to see some of these continued in the future, especially
 women. These findings highlight the benefits of competitive sports and may
 provide future directions in strength sports for organizations, sports
 clubs, and coaches.
description: Participants are weightlifters in the Masters category who turn
 35 or older during 2021 in Australia (AUS), Canada (CAN), Germany (GER),
 Great Britain (GBR), Spain (ESP), and the USA. Individuals were invited to
 participate in the study through email, and newsletters by the national
 governing bodies of weightlifting, and via online platforms including
 Facebook and Instagram. The survey was administered online via Qualtrics
 (Provo, UT, USA). The survey was administered in June 2021 when the
 pandemic had already been in place for over a year and restrictions
 started to ease or were expected to ease. At the time of the survey, the
 number of cases of COVID-19 infection decreased with the availability of
 vaccinations, but several areas still experienced lockdown measures.  Of
 the 1120 respondents, 65 were excluded from the study due to missing
 information on pandemic-related questions.

title: Ipseity Daily Data

description: At what rate do individuals say they are X?

Begining on 2025-07-08, I surveyed a small random sample of American adults on a daily cadence.  They responded to many items of the form: Does <signifier> describe you today?

The file ipseity-daily-aggregated.csv in this repository contains the aggregated results through 2025-07-28.  The columns are as follows:



signifier - a word, phrase or emoji

yes_count - the number of respondents who answered yes (aggregated all-time).

no_count - the number of respondents who answered no (aggregated all-time).

prevalence_per_10k - an estimate of the prevalence per 10,000.  If we were to survey 10,000 American adults, how many would we expect to respond yes to this signifier?  The number is calculated as yes_count / (yes_count + no_count) * 10,000.

earliest_obs_date - this date represents the first time this particular signifier was ever displayed to a respondent.  Signifiers are chosen with stochasticity from a long list; new signifiers are sometimes added, old signifiers are sometimes deleted, and a signifier may be moved higher or lower in priority for sampling.

latest_obs_date - the date closest to the present date on which signifier was most recently presented to a respondent.

title: Dataset and reference: Marine gastropods at higher trophic level show stronger tolerance to ocean acidification

description: Climate change and anthropogenic activities are producing a range of new
 selection pressures, both abiotic and biotic, on marine organisms.
 Although it is known that climate change can differentially affect
 fitness-related traits at different trophic levels of the food web, it is
 not clear if different trophic levels will respond via phenotypic
 plasticity in the form of maintenance of phenotypes in the face
 of abiotic and biotic environmental stress similarly. To answer
 this question, we combined a mesocosm experiment (120 days) using a food
 web comprising three gastropod species from two trophic levels (grazers
 and meso-predators) and a meta-analysis including 38 studies to address
 whether different trophic levels exhibit similar phenotypic responses to
 abiotic and biotic variables. Abiotic (ocean acidification) and biotic
 (predation) stress significantly influenced body mass, shell mass, shell
 thickness, and shell strength in both grazers and meso-predators in the
 mesocosm experiment, with the magnitude of OA effects greater on the
 meso-predator than the grazers; a result supported by the meta-analysis.
 In contrast, both mesocosm experiment and meta-analysis found that
 predation risk induced stronger responses in shell morphology for grazers
 compared to meso-predators. Together, our findings indicate that higher
 trophic level species are better able to maintain aspects of their
 phenotype under OA, suggesting that they may show greater tolerance to
 climate change effects in general, while lower trophic levels express
 higher levels of plastic inducible defences to maintain function when
 under threat of predation. By using marine snails as a model, our study
 provides new knowledge for understanding how changing environmental
 conditions may alter biological interactions, and increases our
 understanding of how climate change may affect ecological communities in
 which gastropods play a key role.
