title: The Balkan terranes: a missing link between the eastern and western segments of the Avalonian–Cadomian orogenic belt?

description: The Alpine–Himalayan collision zone involves a number of crustal fragments that originated in the Neoproterozoic to Cambrian Avalonian–Cadomian belt of northern Gondwana. We use the detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology to examine four of these lithotectonic units, now exposed in the Balkans in Bulgaria and Serbia. The obtained age spectra suggest that the Diabase–Phyllitoid Complex (the maximum depositional age, MDA, estimated at 540 + 5/-9 Ma) was presumably an accretionary wedge or a forearc basin sourced from a nearby volcanic arc, however, its palaeo-position remains uncertain. The Vlasina Complex (MDA of 577 + 5/-6 Ma) was the most ʽwesterly’ terrane, adjacent to the Trans-Saharan belt, whereas the Sredna Gora and Stara Planina complexes (MDAs of 546 ± 7 Ma and 579 + 4/-5, respectively) were positioned next to the Saharan Metacraton and Arabian–Nubian shield. To put the Balkan terranes into a broad context, we statistically compare the detrital zircon ages in other terranes from the Eastern Alps to Iran with igneous and metamorphic U–Pb zircon ages from North African source areas. The statistical comparison is done through multi-dimensional scaling (MDS), a more rigorous method than a visual comparison of age spectra, to examine the degree of inter-sample similarity. This information is then transferred to a tentative palaeogeographic map showing position of each terrane with respect to its most likely source region. As a result, we define a ʽwesterly’ terrane assemblage, characterized by Mesoproterozoic ages and sourced from the West African craton and the Trans-Saharan belt and an ʽeasterly’ assemblage formed next to the Saharan Metacraton and the Arabian–Nubian shield. The present-day position of some of these terranes implies significant dextral strike-slip displacement, perhaps due to movement on the Pangea megashear during the Carboniferous and Permian.

title: Petrology and zircon U-Pb geochronology of mafic - intermediate dykes in the West-Central Taurides: Implications for magma source during the Late Precambrian – Early Palaeozoic

description: Cadomian magmatic activity is represented by a mafic – intermediate dyke suits in the Karacahisar dome (West – Central Taurides) formed by the southward subduction of the Proto-Tethyan ocean beneath North Gondwana. These dyke suites are classified as diabase, andesite and dacite. They display calc-alkali, high-K calc-alkali and shoshonitic character, and intruded into the siliciclastic rocks deposited in a back-arc rift setting. In this study, we present new zircon U-Pb ages, Sr-Nd isotopic and geochemical data to better understand the petrological evolution of the Cadomian magmatism. Zircon U-Pb concordia ages of 551.3 ± 3.5 Ma, 557.9 ± 3.7 Ma and 569 ± 7.2 Ma were obtained for these dykes. On the N-MORB normalized spider diagrams, mafic – intermediate dykes exhibit enrichment in large ion lithophile elements (LILE: Sr, K, Rb, Ba, Th), relatively less enrichment in light rare earth elements (LREE: La, Ce and Nd) and depletion in high field strength (HFS: Tb, Ti, Y and Yb) elements. Dyke samples have significant depletions of Ta and Nb relative to neighbouring LILE and LREE and display a significant subduction component. On the chondrite normalized REE diagrams, a weak Eu anomalies are observed, and this indicates some plagioclase accumulation. Dyke samples fall into the volcanic arc (island arc and/or continental arc), and back-arc fields on tectonic setting discrimination diagrams. The εNd<sub>(i)</sub> values of dykes range from −1.47 to 1.76, and Nd depleted-mantle model (T<sub>DM</sub>) ages vary between 1.32 and 1.81 Ga, and show enriched mantle or metasomatized subcontinental lithospheric mantle source signatures. The primary magmas of the dykes were derived from amphibole- and garnet-bearing mantle, and were affected by fractional crystallization, mixing and assimilation processes during ascent through the upper crust. All available data show that this magmatic activity developed in a back-arc rift setting subsequent to Cadomian arc magmatism in the West-Central Taurides.

title: Age and implication of Late Ediacaran dykes in the İstanbul-Zonguldak Tectonic Unit (NW Turkey): Implications for the rifting of the Rheic Ocean

description: The İstanbul-Zonguldak Tectonic Unit is a part of Avalonia-Carolina and represents Far East Avalonia. It includes Ordovician to Carboniferous deposits which unconformably overlie Late Neoproterozoic metamorphic rocks. Timing of its detachment from West Gondwana-land, thus rifting of the Rheic Ocean, is poorly known. Here, I report on dacite, diabase and andesite dykes of Late Ediacaran igneous crystallization ages from the basement rocks and rift-deposits in the İstanbul-Zonguldak Tectonic Unit (NW Turkey). They are folded about a consistent axis and have porphyritic to intersertal textures. U-Pb dating on igneous zircons from folded dykes yielded Late Ediacaran ages of ca. 556.2 ± 2.2 Ma (2σ) and 552.1 ± 2.8 to 549.2 ± 2.3 Ma (2σ). Late Ediacaran dykes show calc-alkaline and alkaline affinities, and contain with-in plate components. Rift-related Late Ediacaran magmatism shows that the Yellice arc changed from an arc to a back-arc basin and the rift-deposits formed during the late Ediacaran due to the arc rifting. In conjunction with the data from literature, I suggest that the rift-related magmatism is related to the rifting event during the late Ediacaran, leading to the detachment of this continental block from the West Gondwana-land, thus to the opening of the Rheic Ocean, and Early Cambrian deformation event correspond to the adding of the Kraishte terrane with Far East Avalonia. The docking of the Kraishte terrane led to the deformation of Late Ediacaran dykes. Overall, these data indicate that the depositional time of sedimentary rocks in the continental fragment should have started during the late Ediacaran instead of Ordovician.

title: Comprehensive investigation on marine-derived halocarbons in the coastal and open ocean of western Pacific Ocean: sources, emissions, and environmental effects

description: In order to discuss the differences in concentrations, production rates, emissions, and sources of volatile halocarbons (VHCs) in the ECS, SCS, and western Pacific Ocean are discussed, along with the differences in the contributions of coastal seas and open oceans to global halogen budgets. We made simultaneous measurements of seawater and atmospheric concentrations of VHCs during cruises in the East China Sea (ECS), South China Sea (SCS), and Western Pacific Ocean from 2017-2020. This dataset contains the original data of Chl-<em>a</em> and VHCs concentrations in the se<em>a</em>water and atmosphere of the ECS, SCS, and western Pacific Ocean during the period of 2017–2020.

title: tableS1_femora list_20220610.xlsx from The dinosaurian femoral head experienced a morphogenetic shift from torsion to growth along the avian stem

description: Significant evolutionary shifts in locomotor behaviour often involve comparatively subtle anatomical transitions. For dinosaurian and avian evolution, medial overhang of the proximal femur has been central to discussions. However, there is an apparent conflict with regard to the evolutionary origin of the dinosaurian femoral head, with neontological and palaeontological data suggesting seemingly incongruent hypotheses. To reconcile this, we reconstructed the evolutionary history of morphogenesis of the proximal end of the femur from early archosaurs to crown birds. Embryological comparison of living archosaurs (crocodylians and birds) suggests the acquisition of the greater overhang of the femoral head in dinosaurs results from additional growth of the proximal end in the medial-ward direction. On the other hand, the fossil record suggests that this overhang was acquired by torsion of the proximal end, which projected in a more rostral direction ancestrally. We reconcile this apparent conflict by inferring that the medial overhang of the dinosaur femoral head was initially acquired by torsion, which was then superseded by mediad growth. Details of anatomical shifts in fossil forms support this hypothesis, and their biomechanical implications are congruent with the general consensus regarding broader morpho-functional evolution on the avian stem.

title: tableS1_femora list_20220610.xlsx from The morphogenetic process for the dinosaurian femoral head shape shifted in evolution

description: Significant evolutionary shifts in locomotor behaviour often involve comparatively subtle anatomical transitions. In particular for dinosaurian locomotor apparatus, considerable medial overhang of the proximal end of the femur has been central to discussions for their locomotion. However, there is an apparent conflict with regard to the evolutionary origin of the dinosaurian femoral head, with neontological and palaeontological data suggesting seemingly incongruent hypotheses. To reconcile this, we reconstructed the evolutionary history of morphogenesis of the proximal end of the femur from early archosaurs to crown birds. Embryological comparison of living archosaurs (crocodylians and birds) suggests the acquisition of the greater overhang of the femoral head in dinosaurs results from additional growth of the proximal end in the medial-ward direction. On the other hand, the fossil comparison suggests this overhang was acquired by torsion of the proximal end, which projected to more rostral direction in ancestors. We reconcile this apparent conflict by inferring that the medial overhang of the dinosaur femoral head was initially acquired by torsion, which was then superseded by mediad growth. Details of anatomical shifts in fossil forms support this hypothesis, and their biomechanical implications are congruent with the general consensus regarding broader morpho-functional evolution on the avian stem.

description: This study used metatranscriptomics to investigate taxonomic and functional shifts in marine sediment bacterial communities in response to the addition of a nematode community. The scripts and data in this repository are accompanying the paper "Nematodes facilitate bacterial-mediated biogeochemical processes in marine sediments: a meta-transcriptomics approach" by Rodgee Mae Guden, Annelies Haegeman, Tom Ruttink, Tom Moens and Sofie Derycke (Ghent University / ILVO, Belgium). The scripts are also available on Gitlab, with an overview of the bioinformatics pipeline.
description: Our study investigated the taxonomic and functional shifts in benthic bacterial communities in response to the addition of a nematode community using a metatranscriptomic approach. We created 10 microcosms comprising sediment and natural bacterial populations, and extracted RNA at the start of the experiment. Natural nematode communities from an intertidal mudflat were then added to five of the microcosms. After seven days of incubation, RNA was extracted from the microcosms to perform metatranscriptomics analysis to investigate the taxonomic and functional composition of the samples.

title: Dataset: Efficacy of Biopesticides in Management of Potato Tuber Moth, Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller), in Three Different Cultivars of Potato under Storage

description: Pest infestation causes heavy loss to farmers; both in fields and in stores. The study evaluated the efficacy of biopesticides in management of potato tuber moths (PTM) under storage condition. The potato cultivars Khumal Seto-1, Janak Dev and MS-42.3 and biopesticides <em>Bacillus thuringiensis</em>, <em>Acorus calamus</em>, <em>Azadirachta indica</em>, <em>Artemisia vulgaris</em> and a control were used. The cv. Janak Dev had the lowest infestation points per tuber (8.13), emergence of PTM adults (19.77%), physiological loss in weight (26.03%), decay loss (17.89%) and tuber damage score (2.74). The biopesticide <em>Acorus calamus</em> had the least infestation points per tuber (2.56), infested eyes per tuber (0.17), emergence of PTM adults (1%), tuber damage index (2.24), physiological loss in weight (12.11%), decay loss (4%) and tuber damage score (1.36). <em>Acorus calamus</em> had reduced larval mining by 88% and eventually had reduced decay loss by 93% as compared to control. The parameters relating to damage indicated that the cv. Janak Dev was least susceptible among the tested cultivars and <em>Acorus calamus</em> provided the best protection against damage caused by potato tuber moth.
