title: Data from: Prevalence and correlates of anemia among adolescents in Nepal: findings from a nationally representative cross-sectional survey

description: Anemia is regarded as major public health problem among adolescents in Low
 and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) but there is limited primary data in
 many countries, including Nepal. This study investigated the prevalence
 and correlates of anemia in a nationally representative sample of
 adolescents within the 2014 National Adolescent Nutrition Survey in Nepal.
 A total of 3780 adolescents aged 10 to 19 years were selected from a
 cross-sectional survey through multi-stage cluster sampling. Structured
 interviews, anthropometric measurements and hemoglobin assessments of
 capillary blood were obtained. Bivariate and multivariable analyses were
 undertaken to compute the Adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR) for socio-demographic,
 behavioral and cluster characteristics. The overall prevalence of anemia
 was 31% (95%CI: 28.2, 33.5), 38% (95%CI: 34.0, 41.8) in female and 24%
 (95%CI: 20.6, 27.1) in male. The likelihood of anemia was significantly
 higher among older adolescents (aOR 1.75, 95%CI: 1.44, 2.13), females (aOR
 2.02; 95%CI: 1.57, 2.60), among those who walk barefoot (aOR 1.78, 95%CI:
 1.08, 2.94), and those residing in the Terai (aOR 1.80, 95%CI: 1.18,
 2.77). Food consumption from more than four food groups (aOR 0.71, 95%CI:
 0.57, 0.88) was protective against anemia. In conclusion, anemia is common
 in Nepali adolescents. Efforts to improve the nutritional status of this
 high-risk age group require nutrition that focus on eating habits,
 sanitation, iron supplementation and the treatment of hookworm infection.

title: Data from: Human macular Müller cells rely more on serine biosynthesis to combat oxidative stress than those from the periphery

description: The human macula is more susceptible than the peripheral retina to
 developing blinding conditions such as age-related macular degeneration,
 diabetic retinopathy. A key difference between them may be the nature of
 their Müller cells. We found primary cultured Müller cells from macula and
 peripheral retina display significant morphological and transcriptomic
 differences. Macular Müller cells expressed more Phosphoglycerate
 Dehydrogenase (PHGDH, a rate-limiting enzyme in serine synthesis) than
 peripheral Müller cells. The serine synthesis, glycolytic and
 mitochondrial function were more activated in macular than peripheral
 Müller cells. Serine biosynthesis is critical in defending against
 oxidative stress. Intracellular reactive oxygen species and glutathione
 levels were increased in primary cultured macular Müller cells which were
 more susceptible to oxidative stress after inhibition of PHGDH. Our
 findings indicate serine biosynthesis is a critical part of the macular
 defence against oxidative stress and suggest dysregulation of this pathway
 as a potential cause of macular pathology.

title: Data from: Influence of needle-insertion depth on epidural spread and clinical outcomes in caudal epidural injections: a randomized clinical trial

description: Background: A caudal epidural steroid injection (CESI) is a commonly used
 method to improve symptoms of lumbosacral pain. We compared the
 achievement of successful epidurograms and patient-reported clinical
 outcomes following different needle-insertion depths during CESI. Methods:
 For the conventional method group, the needle was advanced into the sacral
 canal. For the alternative method group, the needle was positioned
 immediately after penetration of the sacrococcygeal ligament. Epidural
 filling patterns and vascular uptake during fluoroscopy were determined to
 verify successful epidural injection. Procedural pain scores were
 investigated immediately after the procedure. Pain scores and patient
 global impression of symptom change were evaluated at 1-month follow-up.
 Results: Assessments were completed by 127 patients (conventional method,
 n=64; alternative method, n=63). The incidence of intravascular injection
 was significantly lower in the alternative method group than in the
 conventional method group (3.2% vs 20.3%, P=0.005). Procedural pain during
 needle insertion was significantly lower in the alternative method group
 (3.7±1.3 vs 5.3±1.2, P&lt;0.001). Epidural contrast filling patterns
 were similar in both groups. One-month follow-up pain scores and patient
 global impression of symptom change were comparable in both groups.
 Conclusion: Compared with the conventional method, the alternative method
 for CESI could achieve similar epidural spread and symptom improvement.
 The alternative technique exhibited clinical benefits of a lower rate of
 intravascular injection and less procedural pain.

title: Data from: Sexual dimorphism modifies habitat‐associated divergence: evidence from beach and creek breeding sockeye salmon

description: Studies of parallel or convergent evolution (the repeated, independent
 evolution of similar traits in similar habitats) rarely explicitly
 quantify the extent of parallelism (i.e., variation in the direction
 and/or magnitude of divergence) between the sexes; instead they often
 investigate both sexes together or exclude one sex. However, differences
 in male and female patterns of divergence could contribute to overall
 variation in the extent of parallelism among ecotype pairs, especially in
 sexually dimorphic traits. Failing to properly attribute such variation
 could lead to underestimates of the importance of environmental variation
 in shaping phenotypes. We investigate the extent of parallelism in the
 body shape of male and female beach and creek spawning sockeye salmon
 (Oncorhynchus nerka) from two lake systems in western Alaska that were
 colonized independently after the last ice age. Although both sexes showed
 some degree of parallelism, patterns of beach‐creek body shape divergence
 vary between the sexes and between lake systems. Phenotypic change vector
 analyses revealed highly parallel aspects of divergence between males from
 different lake systems (males from beaches had deeper bodies than males
 from creeks) but weaker parallelism in females, and high parallelism
 between the sexes in one lake system but not the other. Body shape also
 had population‐specific components, which were mostly, but not entirely,
 explained by environmental variation in the form of creek depth. Our
 results highlight the importance of explicitly considering the extent of
 parallelism between the sexes, and environmental variation among sites
 within habitat types.

description: Supplementary files for article "Forecasting global rainfall in a changing climate: a machine learning approach using Köppen-Geiger zones"<br><br>Global society is facing growing risks from extreme rainfall events. Obtaining accurate sub-daily rainfall data to support flood-related engineering designs can mitigate such risks, yet it is difficult to obtain worldwide.

title: Data from: Experimental evolution of parasitic host manipulation

description: Host manipulation is a parasite-induced alteration of a host’s phenotype
 that increases parasite fitness. However, if genetically encoded in the
 parasite, it should be under selection in the parasite. Such host
 manipulation has often been assumed to be energetically costly, which
 should restrict its evolution. Evidence of such costs, however, remains
 elusive. The trophically-transmitted cestode Schistocephalus solidus
 manipulates the activity of its first intermediate copepod host to reduce
 its predation susceptibility before the parasite is ready for
 transmission. Thereafter, S. solidus increases host activity to facilitate
 transmission to its subsequent fish host. I selected S. solidus for or
 against host manipulation over three generations to investigate the
 evolvability of manipulation and identify potential trade-offs. Host
 manipulation responded to selection confirming that this trait is
 heritable in the parasite and hence can present an extended phenotype.
 Changes in host manipulation were not restrained by any obvious costs.

title: Data from: A multilocus phylogeny of the fish genus Poeciliopsis: solving taxonomic uncertainties and preliminary evidence of reticulation

description: The fish genus Poeciliopsis constitutes a valuable research system for
 evolutionary ecology, whose phylogenetic relationships have not been fully
 elucidated. We conducted a multilocus phylogenetic study of the genus
 based on seven nuclear and two mitochondrial loci with a thorough set of
 analytical approaches, i.e., concatenated (also known as super-matrix),
 species trees, and phylogenetic networks. Although several relationships
 remain unresolved, the overall results uncovered phylogenetic affinities
 among several members of this genus. A population previously considered of
 undetermined taxonomic status could be unequivocally assigned to P.
 scarlli; revealing a relatively recent dispersal event across the Trans
 Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB) or Pacific Ocean, which constitute a strong
 barrier to north-south dispersal of many terrestrial and freshwater taxa.
 The closest relatives of P. balsas, a species distributed south of the
 TMVB, are distributed in the north; representing an additional north–south
 split in the genus. An undescribed species of Poeciliopsis, with a highly
 restricted distribution (i.e., a short stretch of the Rio Concepcion; just
 south of the US-Mexico border), falls within the Leptorhaphis species
 complex. Our results are inconsistent with the hypothesis that this
 species originated by “breakdown” of an asexual-hybrid lineage. On the
 other hand, network analyses suggest one or more possible cases of
 reticulation within the genus that require further evaluation with
 genome-wide marker representation and additional analytical tools. The
 most strongly supported case of reticulation occurred within the subgenus
 Aulophallus (restricted to Central America), and implies a hybrid origin
 for P. retropinna (i.e., between P. paucimaculata and P. elongata). We
 consider that P. balsas and P. new species are of conservation concern.

title: Data from: Illuminating the physiological implications of artificial light on an insectivorous bat community

description: Global light pollution threatens to disturb numerous wildlife species, but
 impacts of artificial light will likely vary among species within a
 community. Thus, artificial lights may change the environment in such a
 way as to create winners and losers as some species benefit while others
 do not. Insectivorous bats are nocturnal and a good model to test for
 differential effects of light pollution on a single community. We used a
 physiological technique to address this community-level question by
 measuring plasma ß-hydroxybutyrate (a blood metabolite) concentrations
 from six species of insectivorous bats in lit and unlit conditions. We
 also recorded bat calls acoustically to measure activity levels between
 experimental conditions. Blood metabolite level and acoustic activity data
 suggest species-specific changes in foraging around lights. In red bats
 (Lasiurus borealis), ß-hydroxybutyrate levels at lit sites were highest
 early in the night before decreasing. Acoustic data indicate pronounced
 peaks in activity at lit sites early in the night. In red bats on dark
 nights and in the other species in this community, which seem to avoid
 lights, ß-hydroxybutyrate remained relatively constant. Our results
 suggest red bats are more willing to expend energy to actively forage
 around lights despite potential negative impacts, while other, generally
 rarer species avoid lit areas. Artificial light appears to have a
 bifurcating effect on bat communities, whereby some species take advantage
 of concentrated prey resources, yet most do not. Further, this may
 concentrate light-intolerant species into limited dark refugia, thereby
 increasing competition for depauperate, phototactic insect communities.

title: A new species of Cosmetus (Opiliones, Cosmetidae) from the Colombian pacific region

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Betancourt-Caicedo, Alejandro, Medrano, Miguel (2025): A new species of Cosmetus (Opiliones, Cosmetidae) from the Colombian pacific region. Zootaxa 5728 (2): 321-334, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5728.2.4, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5728.2.4AbstractCosmetus Perty, 1833 is a cosmetid genus with 21 species described which can be recognized by its characteristic fused spine in area III, although this character is presumably homoplastic. In this paper we describe one new species of the genus sensu lato from the Colombian pacific region based on genital morphology and external characters. Cosmetus calima sp. nov. (type locality: Valle del Cauca, Buenaventura, Bajo Calima) can be distinguished by the combination of the following features: dorsal scutum uniformly yellow without paired depigmented spots; spine undivided, shorter than dorsal scutum and not projecting backwards; femur IV long and unarmed; smooth tarsal claws III and IV; male without hypertelic chelicerae, with five basitarsomeres I and penis with a medial basal swelling on the dorsal region of the ventral plate that touches the gland. It is similar to Cosmetus acanti and Cosmetus balboa, which also inhabit the Chocó-Darién moist forests, differing subtly from them in its coloration and spot pattern, the length and inclination of spine in area III, the shape of ventral plate of penis and the position of MS D and MS E.

title: Data from: Convergent evolution on the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway genes EGLN1 and EPAS1 in high-altitude ducks

description: During periods of reduced O2 supply, the most profound changes in gene
 expression are mediated by hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) transcription
 factors that play a key role in cellular responses to low O2 tension.
 Using target-enrichment sequencing, we test whether variation in 26 genes
 in the HIF signaling pathway is associated with high-altitude and
 corresponding O2 availability in three duck species that colonized the
 Andes from ancestral low-altitude habitats in South America. We found
 strong support for convergent evolution in the case of two of the three
 duck species with the same genes (EGLN1, EPAS1), and even the same exons
 (exon 12, EPAS1), exhibiting extreme outliers with a high probability of
 directional selection in the high-altitude populations. These results
 mirror patterns of adaptation seen in human populations, which showed
 mutations in EPAS1, and transcriptional regulation differences in EGLN1,
 causing changes in downstream target transactivation, associated with a
 blunted hypoxic response.
