title: Supplementary Tables from A comparison of eDNA to camera trapping for assessment of terrestrial mammal diversity

description: Before environmental DNA (eDNA) can establish itself as a robust tool for biodiversity monitoring, comparison with existing approaches is necessary, yet is lacking for terrestrial mammals. Moreover, much is unknown regarding the nature, spread and persistence of DNA shed by animals into terrestrial environments, or the optimal experimental design for understanding these potential biases. To address some of these challenges, we compared the detection of terrestrial mammals using eDNA analysis of soil samples against confirmed species observations from a long-term (approx. 9-year) camera-trapping study. At the same time, we considered multiple experimental parameters, including two sampling designs, two DNA extraction kits and two metabarcodes of different sizes. All mammals regularly recorded with cameras were detected in eDNA. In addition, eDNA reported many unrecorded small mammals whose presence in the study area is otherwise documented. A long metabarcode (≈220 bp) offering a high taxonomic resolution, achieved a similar efficiency as a shorter one (≈70 bp) and a phosphate buffer-based extraction gave similar results as a total DNA extraction method, for a fraction of the price. Our results support that eDNA-based monitoring should become a valuable part of ecosystem surveys, yet mitochondrial reference databases need to be enriched first.

title: Ethnische Heterogenität und die Genese von Ungleichheit in Bildungseinrichtungen der (frühen) Kindheit

description: Das Forschungsprojekt B1 „Ethnische Heterogenität und die Genese von Ungleichheit in Bildungseinrichtungen der (frühen) Kindheit“ wurde im Rahmen des von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) geförderten Sonderforschungsbereichs 882 „Von Heterogenitäten zu Ungleichheiten“ durchgeführt. Das Projekt B1 untersucht die Genese ethnisch codierter Ungleichheit in Bildungsorganisationen mittels einer praxistheoretischen, methodenpluralen, längsschnittlichen Ethnographie. Mechanismen der Genese werden in organisationsspezifischen pädagogischen (Unterscheidungs-)Praktiken in Bildungseinrichtungen vermutet. Zentrale Forschungsfragen sind: Wie werden organisationsspezifische, (ethnizitätsrelevante) pädagogische (Unterscheidungs-)Praktiken von Professionellen vollzogen? Wie manifestieren sich diese in individuellen Bildungskarrieren von Kindern? Wie erfahren die betroffenen Kinder dieses Geschehen subjektiv? Der vorliegende Datensatz umfasst die in der ersten Förderphase (2011-2015) erhobenen Daten. Sie reflektieren die systematische Begleitung von 53 Kindern in zwei Kindertagesstätten seit 2011 und von 31 Kindern nach deren Übergang 2014 in vier Grundschulen. Die folgenden Daten liegen vor: Beobachtungsprotokolle in zwei Kindertagesstätten und vier Grundschulen, transkribierte und mit jeweiligen Beobachtungen zusammengeführte Audiodaten (Elterngespräche, Delfin 4, Interviewkatarakte), aggregierte Netzwerkdaten der sozialen Netzwerkanalysen in Form von Matrizen und Soziogrammen (6 Kita-Gruppen, ca. 125 Kinder, 3 Erhebungswellen), 1 Datensatz zu den soziodemographischen Daten von ca. 125 Kindern, kindbezogenen Bildungs- und Sprachstandsdokumentationen (Kindertagesstätten), Gruppendiskussionen mit Zielkindern (Kindertagesstätten), leitfadengestütze Expertinneninterviews mit Leitungen der Kindertagesstätten.

title: Trees for Food Security Project-Local Knowledge-Local Knowledge of Farmers on Farm Tree Management, East Shewa Zone, Ethiopia

description: This dataset was moved to: https://doi.org/10.34725/DVN/25247Food insecurity, natural resource degradation and climate change threaten 12-14 million livelihoods in Ethiopia annually. Trees are being hyped as a ‘silver bullet’ solution to meet these triple challenges. However, studies suggest a decreasing trend not only in adoption but farmers practice of maintaining trees on their farms. The study explores the local knowledge of 94 farmers in two villages of the East Shewa Zone, Ethiopia on land use and land cover dynamics on the farming landscape, tree adoption and management of trees on agricultural fields and their implications for sustained food security. Findings suggest farmers have extensive knowledge on tree on fields, their utilities, management, and effect of management on natural regeneration and the overall role of trees in ensuring livelihoods. Farmers identified government policies and population growth as main drivers of land use and tree cover change in both sites. Farmers retained and or planted trees on their fields for meeting tree product needs with tree materials for dead fencing as major a priority.

title: Replication data for: Enhanced Structural Complexity Index: An Improved Index for Describing Forest Structural Complexity

description: This dataset was moved to: https://doi.org/10.34725/DVN/25315The horizontal distribution of stems, stand density and the differentiation of tree dimensions are among the most important aspects of stand structure. An increasing complexity of stand structure is often linked to a higher number of species and to greater ecological stability. For quantification, the Structural Com- plexity Index (SCI) describes structural complexity by means of an area ratio of the surface that is gener- ated by connecting the tree tops of neighbouring trees to form triangles to the surface that is covered by all triangles if projected on a flat plane. Here, we propose two ecologically relevant modifications of the SCI: The degree of mingling of tree attributes, quantified by a vector ruggedness measure, and a stem density term. We investigate how these two modifications influence index values. Data come from forest inventory field plots sampled along a disturbance gradient from heavily disturbed shrub land, through secondary regrowth to mature montane rainforest stands in Mengsong, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China. An application is described linking structural complexity, as described by the SCI and its modified ver- sions, to changes in species composition of insect communities. The results of this study show that the Enhanced Structural Complexity Index (ESCI) can serve as a valuable tool for forest manag ers and ecolo- gists for describing the structural complexity of forest stands and is particularly valuable for natural for- ests with a high degree of structural complexity.

title: Long-Term Ecosystem Inventories: Raw Dataset for Harvard Forest Long Term Ecological Research (LTER)

description: Evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of ecosystem models requires appropriate datasets for model verification and validation. The overarching goal of this project is to compile and appraise long-term data on ecosystem C and N in order to structure model evaluation questions for future proposals. We compared these available data with the required inputs for a suite of widely used landscape scale ecosystem models LANDIS-II: Landscape Disturbance and Succession model (core, century succession, dynamic fire, leaf biomass fuel), Fire-BGCv2: Fire and Biochemical Cycles model, and SPA: Soil Plant Atmosphere model. From cross referencing with model requirements, we identified any data gaps, both lapses in data collection and variables not measured. In addition, scaled data from stand to landscape level to identify issues related to data aggregation or interpolation.

title: Carbon and Nitrogen stable isotope values from aquatic consumers in Ontario ponds.

description: Amphibian larvae and invertebrates were collected from nine natural ponds varying in hydroperiod on the Queen’s University Biological Station (QUBS) property north of Kingston, Ontario, Canada during the months of April through September in 2008 and 2009. Stable isotope values are reported in delta notation as del13C or del15N using the equation del13C or del15N = ((Rsample/Rstandard) – 1) x 1000, where R is 13C: 12C or 15N: 14N. Mathematical standardization was used to account for lipid variation in del13C in consumer samples using the recommended equations from Post et al. 2007 Oecologia 152:179–189.

title: Environmental Studies of Macrozoobenthos, Aquatic Macrophytes, and Juvenile Fishes in the St. Clair-Detroit River System, 1983-1984: Grapnel Sampling Record for Macrophytes

description: This grapnel sampling record data set was collected for use in the administrative report entitled "Environmental Studies of Macrozoobenthos, Aquatic Macrophytes, and Juvenile Fishes in the St. Clair-Detroit River System, 1983-1984". It is a portion of the data collected for this administrative report, which provided information needed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for preparation of a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement addressing the winter operation of the lock facilities at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and the subsequent extension of the navigation season in the St. Clair-Detroit River system (SCDRS) to January-February. The following is excerpted from the original report\'s abstract: We describe the distribution and abundance of macrozoobenthos, aquatic macrophytes and juvenile fishes during the 1983 and 1984 open water season, and attempt to predict or evaluate the potential environmental impact of an extended navigation season on the biota of SCDRS. Fauna and flora were diverse and abundant; we identified more than 300 taxa of macrozoobenthos, 30 taxa of submergent and emergent macrophytes, and 36 species of fish. The diversity and abundance of macrozoobenthos were generally highest in the St. Clair River. Abundance and diversity of submersed macrophytes were similar in the two rivers, but Chara dominated in the St. Clair River and Vallisneria americana in the Detroit River. We collected more total fish in the Detroit River but more species in the St. Clair River. Yellow perch and rock bass dominated most catches in both rivers. An ice jam in the St. Clair River in spring 1984 appeared to affect two of the three groups studied--macroinvertebrates and submersed macrophytes. Of the 24 abundant taxa of macroinvertebrates, 9 were seemingly less abundant in spring in 1984 than in 1983 in the St. Clair River; however the densities of 6 of these taxa had recovered by fall 1984 to levels equal to or exceeding those in fall 1983 and the other 3 were within 30% of those in 1983. Cover of the bottom with submersed macrophytes was somewhat reduced in spring of 1984--particularly in the St. Clair River--but recovered to 1983 levels by fall 1984. Plant biomass levels varied between years and locations; no consistent differences could be attributed to the ice jam. Catches of fish were lower in 1984 than in 1983 but differences between locations and months were inconsistent. Observed differences in the plant community could be attributed to reduced temperatures, and ice-scour may have reduced the density of several taxa of macrozoobenthos. Evaluation of the potential environmental impacts of an extended navigation season on the biota of SCDRS was not attempted.
