title: Spinal arthritis in cane toads

description: <p>We collected individual toads from the campus of James Cook University in Townsville, Queensland, Australia (-19.3329°S 146.7575<sup>o</sup>E) over five years and additional toads from locations in the Northern Territory<span id="oxe_insert_1_1533426137215_1968673820343091" class="oxeins_1">,</span> <span id="oxe_del_1_1533426136043_8776749997362957" class="oxedel_1">and</span> Western and Southern Queensland and New South Wales in 2010 and 2011. Toads were captured by visual encounter and hand collection at night, or in traps. They were euthanised by an overdose of buffered MS222, and preserved by freezing before dissection. During dissection, we used Vernier callipers to measure body size (snout-urostyle length) and the length and width of any obvious (>5.5 mm growth) spinal abnormality (which typically presented as bulbous growths around the vertebrae) to the nearest 0.1 mm. We determined sex by direct examination of the gonads. Research was approved by James Cook University’s animal ethics committee (A1617) and all methods were performed in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations.</p>

title: The chemical and gelling properties of ulvan from blade and filamentous Ulva of New Zealand

description: <p>See chapter 3 of the thesis for full details. The characteristics of ulvan from different Ulva species collected from the Bay of Plenty, Aotearoa New Zealand were compared. The chemical characteristics of ulvan from blade (U. australis, U. rigida, U. sp. B, and Ulva sp.) and filamentous (U. flexuosa, U. compressa, U. prolifera, and U. ralfsii) Ulva species were assessed through elemental, sulfate and ash quantification, size exclusion chromatography with multi-angle light scattering detector, constituent sugar analysis with high performance anion exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Rheology characteristics of ulvans were assessed through dynamic rheological measurements using a single-head hybrid rheometer.</p>

title: Megan Welch PhD data for "Effects of elevated CO₂ on fish behaviour undiminished by transgenerational acclimation": corrected version

description: <p>Olfactory measurements were recorded after a 2 minute acclimation period to the flume. Documentation of a stream preference (via L or R) occurred by direct observation, measuring every 5 seconds for 2 minutes. Water streams were then switched, and the fish was given another acclimation period before the second half of testing. Each fish was only tested once. Lateralisation trials were recorded at each end of a t-maze chamber. Introduction to the ends of the chamber was randomised. After a 5 minute acclimation period, fish were gently guided to the runway and the direction of their turn at the perpendicular barrier was recorded by direct observation. Each fish was only tested once.</p>

title: Do Pandemics Trigger Death Thoughts Study 2

description: <p><strong>Background: </strong></p>
<p>These studies aim to investigate the effects of pandemics of varying severity on death thought accessibility in two studies while controlling for health anxiety. Study 1 (n = 203) examined the effect of standard MS, severe pandemic, mild pandemic, and dental conditions on death thought accessibility as assessed by the death word fragment task (DWFT).  Study 2 (n = 163) was conducted with more sensitive death thought accessibility measures such as the lexical decision task and dot probe task.</p>
<p>Data collection for Study 2 was conducted between December 2021 to February 2022, during which COVID-19 continued to ravage the world. The study design is the same as Study 1, except for the removal of the mild pandemic condition and a change of dependent variables (DVs) to assess DTA. The mild pandemic condition was removed as it did not trigger significant perception of threats in our pilot study and there were no significant effects of mild pandemic condition on DTA in Study 1. The DWFT was replaced with the Death Anxiety Scale (DAS), lexical-decision task (LDT), and the dot-probe task (DPT). </p>
<p>Similar to Study 1, Study 2 hypothesizes that the pandemic condition and the standard MS condition will yield significantly higher levels of death cognitions than the control conditions after a time delay, even when we control for health anxiety after a time delay. Study 2 was pre-registered with Open Science Framework (OSF) Registries (Registration DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/4SD2J).</p>

title: Data from: Sediments ratchet-down coral reef algal turf productivity

description: This dataset contains the data associated with the following publication: 

Tebbett SB, Bellwood DR (2020) Sediments ratchet-down coral reef algal turf productivity. Science of the Total Environment 713: 136709 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.136709

This study assessed the nature of algal turfs in terms of length, biomass, relative detritus content, and productivity (linear growth rate) across a sediment load gradient, from short productive algal turfs to long sediment-laden algal turfs, at Lizard Island and Orpheus Island on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. The growth of algal turfs was based on measuring the length of algal turfs before and after caging. While the examination of relationships between algal turf length, biomass and relative detritus content were based on sampling adjacent, uncaged, algal turf communities using vacuum sampling methods. This data publication also includes raw data on herbivorous fish abundance and biomass at the study locations.

title: Data for: McCormick, Chivers, Ferrari, Blandford, Fakan & Allan. Microplastic consumption interacts with habitat degradation to affect behaviour and survival of juvenile fish

description: <p>Abstract [Related Publication]: Under the current threat of global climate change, coral reefs are predicted to become extensively degraded. In addition, the rapidly increasing production and disposal of plastic products worldwide lead to the rising accumulation of plastic pollution in coastal ecosystems. The present study explores how the dual threat of habitat degradation and microplastic exposure may act in isolation and in synergy to affect the behaviour and survival of coral reef fish in the field. Fish were caught prior to settlement and pulse fed polystyrene microplastic spheres six times over four days, then placed in the field on live or dead-degraded coral patches where their survival was monitored. Exposure to microplastics led fish to be bolder, more active and stray further from shelter compared to control fish. Fish on dead coral likewise were bolder, more active and less risk averse. Effect sizes indicated that plastic exposure had a greater effect on behaviour, leading to enhanced potential risk, than degraded habitat. However, there was an antagonistic interaction between microplastic exposure and coral health, which found fish on live coral that were exposed to microplastics also being more active and taking more risks. This interaction was also displayed in their survival in the field. All fish, apart from the ones that were not exposed to microplastics and lived on live coral, had very low survival. While microplastic exposure did not elevate mortality above that already found in dead-degraded habitats, it did represent a significant new stressor that lead to six-times higher mortality when living on live healthy habitats.</p><p>Dataset consists of a spreadsheet containing 2 worksheets: Raw data and a Key which includes the full methodology.</p>

title: Detecting sub-clinical change in tissue compressibility and free fluid in the lower limbs of young people living in an LF endemic area in Myanmar

description: <p>SPSS data set for physical measures taken at 3 time points using 4 devices and publications relating to the data analysis.</p><p>Abstract [Related Publication]: When normal lymphatic function is hampered, imperceptible subcutaneous edema can develop and progress to overt lymphedema. Low-cost reliable devices for objective assessment of lymphedema are well accepted in clinical practice and research on breast-cancer related lymphedema but are untested in populations with lymphatic filariasis (LF). This is a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data in a longitudinal study on asymptomatic, LF antigen-positive and -negative young people in Myanmar. Rapid field screening was used to identify antigen-positive cases and a group of antigen-negative controls of similar age and gender were invited to continue in the study. Tissue compressibility was assessed with three tissue tonometers, and free fluids were assessed using bio-impedance spectroscopy (BIS). Infection status was confirmed by Og4C3 antigen assay. At baseline (n= 98), antigen-positive cases had clinically relevant increases in tissue compressibilityat the calf using a digital Indurometer (11.1%, p = 0.021), and in whole-leg free fluid using BIS (9.2%, p = 0.053). Regression analysis for moderating factors (age, gender, hydration) reinforced the between-infection group differences. Results demonstrate that sub-clinical changes associated with infection can be detected in asymptomatic cases. Further exploration of these low-cost devices in clinical and research settings on filariasis-related lymphedema are warranted.</p><p>The full methodology is available in the publications from the Related Publications links below.</p><p> </p>
