title: Gene associations with human anxiety (MAGMA)

description: Anxiety disorders are common and can be debilitating, with effective
 treatments remaining hampered by an incomplete understanding of the
 underlying genetic etiology. Improvements have been made in understanding
 the genetic influences on mouse behavioral models of anxiety, yet it is
 unclear the extent to which genes identified in these experimental systems
 contribute to genetic variation in human anxiety phenotypes. Leveraging
 new and existing large-scale human genome-wide association studies, we
 tested whether sets of genes previously identified in mouse anxiety-like
 behavior studies contribute to a range of human anxiety disorders. When
 tested as individual genes, thirteen mouse-identified genes were
 associated with human anxiety phenotypes, suggesting an overlap of
 individual genes contributing to both mouse models of anxiety-like
 behaviors and human anxiety traits. When genes were tested as sets, we did
 identify fourteen significant associations between mouse gene sets and
 human anxiety, but the majority of gene sets showed no significant
 association with human anxiety phenotypes. These few significant
 associations indicate a need to identify and develop more translatable
 mouse models by identifying sets of genes that ‘match’ between model
 systems and specific human phenotypes of interest. We suggest that
 continuing to develop improved behavioral paradigms and finer-scale
 experimental data, for instance from individual neuronal subtypes or
 cell-type-specific expression data, is likely to improve our understanding
 of the genetic etiology and underlying functional changes in anxiety
 disorders.

title: Resources and seasonality drive the composition of mixed-species bird flocks along an elevational gradient in the Himalaya

description: Mixed-species bird flocks are cohesive networks of interacting
 insectivorous bird species that benefit from reduced predation risk and/or
 enhanced resource access. We studied how species' propensity to
 participate in mixed flocks, and the number and strength of interspecific
 associations within flocks, changed along elevational (low, mid, high) and
 seasonal (winter, spring) gradients in the western Himalaya. We expected
 species to have high propensities, and greater number and strength of
 interspecific associations when resources are scarce, and to decline when
 resources are abundant. We first used species occurrence within and
 outside mixed flocks to calculate species-specific flocking propensity and
 then performed network analyses to quantify the proportion of realized
 interspecific associations (network density) and their strength (weighted
 degree), using an abundance-based null model to control flocking
 species' availability. Further, we quantified arthropod prey
 availability in winter by using a branch bagging technique. Insect
 availability and arthropod diversity decreased with increasing elevation
 in winter and species’ flocking propensities, network densities and
 weighted degrees increased with elevation, possibly to benefit from
 facilitative interactions that increase foraging success. In spring, as
 more resources become available and/or bird start investing more time in
 breeding, flocking propensities, network densities and species’ weighted
 degrees declined at all elevations when compared with winter. During
 resource-scarce periods, species might find solitary foraging prohibitive
 because of reduced resource access and costs of vigilance therefore
 leading to the formation of networks of facilitative associations.

title: Skabbholmen data from: Concurrent ordination: Simultaneous unconstrained and constrained latent variable modeling

description: In community ecology, unconstrained ordination can be used to indirectly
 explore drivers of community composition, while constrained ordination can
 be used to directly relate predictors to an ecological community. However,
 existing constrained ordination methods do not explicitly account for
 community composition that cannot be explained by the predictors, so that
 they have the potential to misrepresent community composition if not all
 predictors are available in the data. We propose and develop a set of new
 methods for ordination and Joint Species Distribution Modelling (JSDM) as
 part of the Generalized Linear Latent Variable Model (GLLVM) framework,
 that incorporate predictors directly into an ordination. This includes a
 new ordination method that we refer to as concurrent ordination, as it
 simultaneously constructs unconstrained and constrained latent variables.
 Both unmeasured residual covariation and predictors are incorporated into
 the ordination by simultaneously imposing reduced rank structures on the
 residual covariance matrix and on fixed-effects. We evaluate the method
 with a simulation study, and show that the proposed developments
 outperform Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) for Poisson and
 Bernoulli responses, and perform similar to Redundancy Analysis (RDA) for
 normally distributed responses, the two most popular methods for
 constrained ordination in community ecology. Two examples with real data
 further demonstrate the benefits of concurrent ordination, and the need to
 account for residual covariation in the analysis of multivariate data.
 This article contextualizes the role of constrained ordination in the
 GLLVM and JSDM frameworks, while developing a new ordination method that
 incorporates the best of unconstrained and constrained ordination, and
 which overcomes some of the deficiencies of existing classical ordination
 methods.

title: Critical transitions and evolutionary hysteresis in movement: Habitat fragmentation can cause abrupt shifts in dispersal that are difficult to revert

description: Under habitat fragmentation, plant species’ survival hinges on the ability
 of individuals to disperse from one habitat patch to another. While there
 is evidence that severe habitat fragmentation leads to evolution of
 reduced dispersal ability and that such decreased mobility is generally
 detrimental for species’ survival, it is unknown whether species adapt via
 a gradual loss in dispersal ability or via a sudden shift from frequent to
 infrequent dispersal between patches (i.e., a critical transition). Using
 both a spatially explicit deterministic and individual-based stochastic
 model of hydrochorous seed dispersal, we show that a small increase in
 inter-patch distance can generate an abrupt shift in plant seed dispersal
 strategy from long to short distances. Most importantly, we found that a
 substantial increase in connectivity between habitat fragments is required
 to reverse this loss of long-distance dispersal, due to an evolutionary
 hysteresis effect. Our theory prompts for re-consideration of the
 eco-evolutionary consequences of habitat fragmentation as restoring
 habitat connectivity may require restoration of much higher connectivity
 levels than currently assumed.

title: Data from: An investigation into the effectiveness of using acoustic touch to assist people who are blind

description: In this work, we explored the potential of a technique known as
 "acoustic touch" to assist people who are blind in finding
 objects. This technique is an auditory sensory augmentation paradigm that
 uses smart glasses to sonify objects entering the device's field of
 view. We developed a wearable Foveated Audio Device (FAD) to study the
 efficacy and usability of using acoustic touch to search, memorise, and
 reach items. The study involved 14 participants, 7 blind/low vision and 7
 sighted blindfolded participants. We compared the wearable device to two
 idealised conditions, a verbal clock face description and a sequential
 audio presentation through external speakers. We found that the wearable
 device can effectively aid the recognition and reaching of an object. We
 also observed that the device does not significantly increase the
 user's cognitive workload. These promising results suggest that
 acoustic touch can provide a wearable and effective method of sensory
 augmentation.
description: The datasets were collected at UTS Techlab. All files are in CSV

title: Data from: Species-specific traits mediate avian demographic responses under past climate change

description: Anticipating species’ responses to environmental change is a pressing
 mission in biodiversity conservation. Despite decades of research
 investigating how climate change may affect population sizes, historical
 context is lacking and the traits which mediate demographic sensitivity to
 changing climate remain elusive. We use whole-genome sequence data to
 reconstruct the demographic histories of 263 bird species over the past
 million years and identify networks of interacting morphological and
 life-history traits associated with changes in effective population size
 (Ne) in response to climate warming and cooling. Our results identify
 direct and indirect effects of key traits representing survival,
 reproduction, and dispersal processes on long-term demographic responses
 to climate change and highlight traits most likely to influence population
 responses to ongoing climate warming.

title: North Pacific Subtropical Gyre 2018–2019 invertebrate biodiversity on macroplastic

description: We show that the high seas are colonized by a diverse array of coastal
 species, which survive and reproduce in the open ocean, contributing
 strongly to its floating community composition. Analysis of rafting
 plastic debris in the Eastern North Pacific Subtropical Gyre revealed 37
 coastal invertebrate taxa in total, largely of Western Pacific origin,
 exceeding pelagic taxa richness by three-fold. Coastal taxa, including
 diverse taxonomic groups and life history traits, occurred on 70.5% of
 debris items. Most coastal taxa possessed either direct development or
 asexual reproduction, possibly facilitating long-term persistence on
 rafts. Our results suggest that the historical lack of available substrate
 limited colonization of the open ocean by coastal species, rather than
 physiological or ecological constraints as previously assumed. It appears
 that coastal species persist now in the open ocean as a substantial
 component of a neopelagic community sustained by the vast and expanding
 sea of plastic debris.

title: The productivity puzzle in invasion science: Declining but persisting gender imbalances in research performance

description: We analyzed 27,234 publications published since the rise of the field of
 invasion science in 1980 to evaluate the presence of gender differences in
 research productivity, the extent of collaboration, and the research
 impact of those differences. Our analysis revealed significantly fewer
 female- than male-authored publications, both per capita and as a group,
 and the underrepresentation of women as first and single authors persists
 despite improvements in the gender gap. At the current rate of increase,
 gender parity in first authorship will not be achieved until 2100, and men
 will continue to constitute the principal voice of first or single authors
 in invasion science. Women collaborate with fewer coauthors and are cited
 less frequently than men, on average, which may influence recruitment and
 retention to more senior academic positions. These gender disparities in
 this aspect of research performance suggest that, although the gender gap
 is lessening, women experience barriers in invasion science.

title: Data from: Interspecific allometric scaling in eDNA production among Northwestern Atlantic bony fishes reflects physiological allometric scaling

description: Relating environmental DNA (eDNA) signal strength to organism abundance
 requires a fundamental understanding of eDNA production. A number of
 studies have demonstrated that eDNA production may scale allometrically –
 that is, larger organisms tend to exhibit lower mass-specific eDNA
 production rates, likely due to allometric scaling in key processes
 related to eDNA production (e.g. surface area, excretion/egestion). While
 most previous studies have examined intra-specific allometry,
 physiological rates and organism surface area also scale allometrically
 across species. We therefore hypothesize that eDNA production will
 similarly exhibit inter-specific allometric scaling. To evaluate this
 hypothesis, we reanalyzed previously published eDNA data from Stoeckle et
 al. (2021) which compared metabarcoding read count to organism count and
 biomass data obtained from trawl surveys off the New Jersey coast. Using a
 Bayesian model we empirically estimated the value of the allometric
 scaling coefficient (‘b’) for Northwestern Atlantic bony fishes to be 0.77
 (credible interval = 0.64 – 0.92), although our model failed to converge
 for Chondrichthyan species. We found that integrating allometry
 significantly improved correlations between organism abundance and
 metabarcoding read count relative to traditional metrics of abundance
 (density and biomass) for bony fishes. Although substantial unexplained
 variation remains in the relationship between read count and organism
 abundance, our study provides evidence that eDNA production may scale
 allometrically across species in some contexts. Future studies
 investigating the relationship between eDNA signal strength and metrics of
 fish abundance could potentially be improved by accounting for allometry;
 to this end, we developed an online tool that can facilitate the
 integration of allometry in eDNA/abundance relationships.

title: Interactions between protea plants and their animal mutualists and antagonists are structured more by energetic than morphological trait matching

description: Traits mediate mutualistic and antagonistic interactions between plants
 and animals, and should thus be useful for predicting trophic species
 interactions. Studies to date have examined the importance of
 morphological trait matching for plant-animal interactions, but have
 rarely explored the extent to which these interactions are shaped by
 matching between energetic provisions of plants and energetic demands of
 animals. We tested whether energetic and/or morphological trait matching
 shapes interactions between Protea plant species and their interacting
 animal mutualists and antagonists in the Cape Floristic Region, South
 Africa. We recorded interactions between 22 Protea species, pollinating
 insects, and vertebrates as well as seed predators (endophagous insect
 larvae in protea cones) at 21 study sites. To relate species interactions
 to matching trait pairs, we measured key morphological traits (shape and
 size of flower heads and seed cones, and mouth part length as well as body
 length) and quantified the animals’ energetic demands (metabolic rate)
 together with the plants’ energetic provisions (nectar sugar amount,
 seed-to-cone mass ratio). We calculated log ratios of both energetic and
 morphological traits between animals and plants as predictor variables for
 the number of observed interactions between Protea species and their
 animal interaction partners. For both mutualistic and antagonistic
 interactions, we found significant effects of morphological and energetic
 trait ratios on the interactions between plants and animals. Trait ratios
 accounted for 11% to 22% of the variation in species interactions.
 Consistent with energetic trait matching, we found a hump-shaped
 relationship between interaction frequency and log ratios of energetic
 traits of animals and plants, indicating that interactions were most
 frequent at intermediate log ratios between energetic demand and
 provision. Effects of morphological trait ratios on interactions were
 statistically supported in most cases but were variable in the magnitude
 and shape of the predicted relationships. Across animal taxa and
 interaction types, energetic traits had more consistent effects on
 interactions between plants and animals than morphological traits. This
 suggests that energy can function as an important interaction currency and
 facilitate the understanding and prediction of trophic species
 interactions.
