title: <b>Stomach microbiome simplification of a coral reef fish at its novel cold-range edge under climate change</b>

description: Climate-driven range-extensions of animals into higher latitudes are often facilitated by phenotypic plasticity. Modifications to habitat preference, behaviour, and diet can increase the persistence of range-extending species in their novel high-latitude ecosystems. These strategies may be influenced by changes in in their gut and stomach microbial communities that are critical to host fitness, and potentially adaptive plasticity. Yet, it remains unknown if the gut and stomach microbiome of range-extending species is plastic in novel ranges to help facilitate these modifications. Here, we categorised stomach microbiome communities of a prevalent range-extending coral reef fish species along a 2,000-km latitudinal gradient in a global warming hotspot, extending from their tropical core-range to their novel temperate cold-range edge. At their cold-range edge, the coral reef fish’s stomach microbiome showed a 59% decrease in bacterial diversity, and a 164% increase in relative abundance of opportunistic bacteria (<i>Vibrio</i>) compared to their tropical core range. Microbiome diversity was unaffected by fish body size, water temperature, physiology (cellular defence and damage), and habitat type (turf, barren, oyster, kelp, and coral) across their range. The observed shifts in stomach microbiome composition suggests dysbiosis and low plasticity of tropical range-extending fishes to novel environmental conditions (e.g., temperate prey and lower seawater temperature) at their novel range edges, which may increase their susceptibility to disease in temperate ecosystems. We conclude that fishes extending their ranges to higher latitudes under ocean warming can experience a simplification (i.e. reduced diversity) of their stomach microbiome, which could restrict their current rate of range extensions or establishment in temperate ecosystems.

title: Optimising Plant Establishment 2018 Bradvale Faba Bean Experiment

description: Data from the 2018 crop establishment trial at Bradvale, VIC. The trial compared the establishment of Samira faba beans at different densities, under a conventional seeder (Vaderstad Seed Hawk) and under a precision seeder (Vaderstad Tempo), and at two different row spacings (a narrow row spacing of 250mm, and a wide row spacing of 500mm). The experiment was run under the UOA1803-009RTX GRDC research project led by the University of Adelaide, with the experimental trial and data collection managed locally by Southern Farming Systems (SFS).<strong>Files:</strong>2018 SFS Faba bean.xlsx<strong>Experiment setup:</strong>Experiment managed locally by Southern Farming Systems (SFS). The trial was organised as a split plot with 2 main plot treatments (conventional seeder vs precision seeder) and 4 subplot treatments (two row spacings, 250mm and 500mm, by two different target plant densities, 10 and 18 plants/m2), arranged spatially in 4 ranges and 12 rows with 6 replicates, for 48 plots total.

The trial compared the establishment of Hurricane lentil at different densities, under a conventional cone seeder and under a precision seeder. The experiment was run under the UOA1803-009RTX GRDC research project led and managed by the University of Adelaide.<strong>Files:</strong>2018 Roseworhty lentil .xlsx<strong>Experiment setup:</strong>The trial was organised as a randomised complete block design with 11 treatments (containing combinations of the cone seeder vs precision seeder, together with different levels of target seeding density), arranged spatially in two columns containing 3 replicates each, for a total of 66 plots. For the precision seeder, the target densities were attained using "skips", where holes in the lentil seeder disc were glued in both systematic and random patterns to alter the seeding rate (for 0%, 5%, 10% and 20% skip). For the cone seeder, the populations were taken to be 5%, 10% and 20% lower than the target density. The variety used for this Roseworthy trial was Hurricane lentil.<strong>Variables recorded:</strong>establishment count (plants/m2), NDVI, soil temperature (cumulative degree days), soil moisture (% Volumetric Water Content), plant weights (g), fresh weight (g/plant), lost plot (%), grain yield (g/plot)<strong>Data collection and assessment:</strong>The paddock was sown on 31/05/2018 with the conventional cone seeder, and on 01/06/2018 with the precision seeder at a rate of 100 seeds/m2 (with "skips" induced by gluing holes in the lentil disc to alter the seeding densities). Plant emergence counts were taken in 1.524m2 areas in 3 metre sections across both rows, and recorded 6 times between 11/06/2018 and 03/07/2018. NDVI readings were made on 09/08/2018 over the same 3m sections from which the emergence counts were taken. Two soil data loggers recorded cumulative degree day soil temperature data between 31/05/2018 and 03/07/2018, and soil moisture measurements were taken 6 times between 07/06/2018 and 07/07/2018 at the same locations as the establishment counts, using MPM 160B moisture probes at the 0-5cm level to record the volumetric water content. Individual weights for the plants (in g) and shoot biomass samples were taken on 22/10/2018 and weighed to establish the fresh weight per plant. On 08/11/2018 the plots were assessed and the percentages of lost plot were recorded, together with the grain yield in g/plot.
