title: Yorku. grassland/ Woodlot. Sept27-2016.CSV

description: This study was conducted to measure the number of insects species and number of organisms in grassland and compare them with those on woodlot at York University campus around 3:00pm-4:10pm of September 27<sup>th</sup>, 2016. <b>Location:</b>In this field experiment data was collected at York University, Keele St. and York Blvd, in the Grassland and woodlots. Weather was rainy and cloudy; a bit of light covered the grassland but not the woodlots. <b>Methods:</b> Quadrat sampling was used in this field experiment. In this technique a quadrat, which covers area of 1 m<sup>2</sup>, was put randomly on the grounds 10 times in grassland and 10 times in woodlots. In each time number of species of insects and organisms present in the quadrat was visually observed and recorded. <b>Key to variables: </b> Variables were number of species and number of organisms. Number of organisms was calculated visually by simply counting number of insects in each quadrat. This variable is quantitative and categorical. Number of species was calculated visually by counting the types of insects in each quadrat. This variable is quantitative and categorical as well. <b>Prediction:</b>It was predicted that number of insect species and organisms would be less in woodlot than in grassland. <b>Hypothesis:</b>It was hypothesis that more insect species live in grassland than in woodlot. The hypothesis was made based on the observation that Grassland is covered more with flowers and grass so pollinator insects such as bees would be found more in grassland than in woodlot, which is more covered with tall trees rather than grass and flowers.

title: Frequency-limited <b>H∞</b>-controller order reduction for linear parameter-varying systems

description: In this paper, a controller order reduction method for linear parameter-varying systems is presented. The proposed method is based on the frequency-weighted balanced truncation technique, which has the advantage to reduce the order in a specific frequency range. The approach is discussed and is proved to preserve the closed-loop stability with a guaranteed upper error bound. Effectiveness and performance of the obtained reduced-order controller are investigated by applying it to an automotive semi-active suspension control. The obtained simulation results show that objectives such as the road handling and the passenger comfort realised with the reduced-order controller are kept in the same performance level as with the full-order controller. Moreover, a comparison with an other-order reduction method is shown and confirms the advantage of the developed method.

title: Incorporating climate change mitigation and adaptation into environmental impact assessment: a review of current practice within transport projects in England

description: Climate change mitigation and adaptation can be perceived as neglected in environmental impact assessment (EIA). In the light of amendments to the European Union EIA Directive (2014), we developed a novel criteria-based review package to assess climate change mitigation and adaptation as documented in environmental statements, and applied this to a sample of 10 transport developments from England. Justifications relating to climate policy, climate science, the effect of climate change on the development and its vulnerability to climate risks were well explained in most projects. Many projects lacked detail of climate change mitigation and adaptation measures and their benefits, whilst evidence of commitment to mitigation and adaptation or to post-decision monitoring was poor or non-existent; reportedly due to costs, time constraints and absence of mandatory requirements. It is recommended that to improve the effectiveness of the consideration of climate change mitigation and adaptation in EIA, the production of guidelines, change of behaviour of EIA practitioners, more holistic consideration of climate change issues, rigorous post-decision monitoring and use of climate change terminology are more widely adopted.

title: Multi-Isotopic (δ2H, δ13C, δ15N) Feather Isotopes for Red-winged Blackbirds Associated with Agro-ecosystems

description: We analyzed stable-hydrogen (δ2H), carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ 15N) isotope ratios in feathers to better understand the molt origin and food habits of Red-winged Blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus) near sunflower production in the Upper Midwest and rice production in the Mid-South of the United States. Outer primary feathers grown on the breeding grounds were used from 661 after-second-year (ASY) male blackbirds collected in Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota (breeding collection), and Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Texas (winter collection).

title: Supp_Tab3 from Temporal patterns of local adaptation in soil Pseudomonads

description: Strong divergent selection leading to local adaptation is often invoked to explain the staggering diversity of bacteria in microbial ecosystems. However, examples of specialization by bacterial clones to alternative niches in nature are rare. Here, we investigate the extent of local adaptation in natural isolates of Pseudomonads and their relatives to their soil environments across both space and time. Though most isolates grew well in most environments, patchily distributed low-quality environments were found to drive specialization. In contrast with experimental evolution work on microbial adaptation, temporal adaptation was stronger than spatial adaptation among the isolates and environments we sampled. Time-shift analysis of fitness across two seasons of growth revealed an unexpectedly strong effect of preadaptation. This pattern of apparent future adaptation may be caused by unknown abiotic properties of these environments, phages, bacterial competitors or general mechanisms of ecological niche release, and warrants future study.

title: Supplementary Table 7 from Strong influence of palaeoclimate on the structure of modern African mammal communities

description: Ecological research often assumes that species are adapted to their current climatic environments. However, climate fluctuations over geologic time scales have influenced species dispersal and extinction, which in turn may affect community structure. Modern community structure is likely to be the product of both palaeoclimate and modern climate, with the relative degrees of influence of past and present climates unknown. Here, we assessed the influence of climate at different time periods on the phylogenetic and functional trait structure of 203 African mammal communities. We found that the climate of the mid-Holocene (approx. 6,000 years ago) and Last Glacial Maximum (approx. 22 000 years ago) were frequently better predictors of community structure than modern climate for mammals overall, carnivorans and ungulates. Primate communities were more strongly influenced by modern climate than palaeoclimate. Overall, community structure of African mammals appears to be related to the ecological flexibility of the groups considered here and the regions of continental Africa that they occupy. Our results indicate that the future redistribution, expansion and contraction of particular biomes due to human activity, such as climate and land-use change, will differentially affect mammal groups that vary in their sensitivity to environmental change.

title: Supplementary Data 4. Raw experimental COP data for all African elephants from Foot pressure distributions during walking in African elephants (<i>Loxodonta africana</i>)

description: Elephants, the largest living land mammals, have evolved a specialized foot morphology to help reduce locomotor pressures while supporting their large body mass. Peak pressures that could cause tissue damage are mitigated passively by the anatomy of elephants' feet, yet this mechanism does not seem to work well for some captive animals. This study tests how foot pressures vary among African and Asian elephants from habitats where natural substrates predominate but where foot care protocols differ. Variations in pressure patterns might be related to differences in husbandry, including but not limited to trimming and the substrates that elephants typically stand and move on. Both species' samples exhibited the highest concentration of peak pressures on the lateral digits of their feet (which tend to develop more disease in elephants) and lower pressures around the heel. The trajectories of the foot's centre of pressure were also similar, confirming that when walking at similar speeds, both species load their feet laterally at impact and then shift their weight medially throughout the step until toe-off. Overall, we found evidence of variations in foot pressure patterns that might be attributable to husbandry and other causes, deserving further examination using broader, more comparable samples.
