title: Data for: Resetting our expectations for parasites and their effects on species interactions: A meta-analysis

description: Despite the ubiquitous nature of parasitism, how parasitism alters the
 outcome of host species interactions such as competition, mutualism, and
 predation remain unknown. Using a phylogenetically informed meta-analysis
 of 154 studies, we examined how the mean and variance in the outcomes of
 species interactions differed between parasitized and non-parasitized
 hosts. Overall, parasitism did not significantly affect the mean or
 variance of host species interaction outcomes, nor did the shared
 evolutionary histories of hosts and parasites have an effect. Instead,
 there was considerable variation in outcomes, ranging from strongly
 detrimental to strongly beneficial for infected hosts.
 Trophically-transmitted parasites increased the negative effects of
 predation, parasites increased and decreased the negative effects of
 interspecific competition for parasitized and non-parasitized
 heterospecifics, respectively, and parasites had particularly strong
 negative effects on host species interactions in freshwater and marine
 habitats, yet were beneficial in terrestrial environments. Our results
 illuminate the diverse ways in which parasites modify critical linkages in
 ecological networks, implying that whether the cumulative effects of
 parasitism are considered detrimental depends not only on the interactions
 between hosts and their parasites, but also on the many other interactions
 that hosts experience.

title: New Miocene frogs from the Riversleigh World Heritage Area, north-western Queensland, and their palaeoecological implications

description: The Riversleigh World Heritage fossil deposits in northwestern Queensland, Australia, preserve diverse vertebrate faunas spanning the last 25 million years. Fossil anurans have been recorded from Riversleigh’s Late Oligocene to Holocene deposits, but they remain understudied. Herein we describe fossil ilia that represent several new undescribed species of fossil frogs referable to the Australian native families Limnodynastidae and Pelodryadidae. Using micro-computed tomography scans and three-dimensional geometric morphometrics (3D GM), we were able to compare the shape of the diagnostic ilium for three of the Riversleigh fossil species of <i>Litoria</i> with extant congeners. Principal component analysis (PCA) and canonical variate analysis (CVA) were performed to assess the differences in ilial shape between supraspecific groups of modern Australian frogs. Our CVA accurately predicted group membership for family up to 99.1% and 89.6% for original and cross-validation, respectively. We describe the new <i>Philoria godthelpi</i> sp. nov. using taxonomic features with extant congeners and add three new morphotypes of <i>Litoria</i> species to the Riversleigh World Heritage Area fauna. These new morphotypes add to our understanding about Australia’s past frog fauna and provide significant insights into their previous diversity, palaeohabitats and palaeobiogeography.

title: A new avian footprint taxon (<i>Gragliavipes gavenskii</i>, Ignotornidae) from the Cenozoic of South America and a reappraisal of avian ichnofamilies from the Cretaceous and Cenozoic

description: We describe a new avian ichnotaxon <i>Gragliavipes gavenskii</i> ichnogen. nov. ichnosp. nov. from the Miocene Vinchina Formation (La Rioja Province, Argentina) attributed to the Ignotornidae ichnofamily, thus constituting the first Cenozoic record from South America. These are semipalmate tetradactyl footprints with a very short interdigital web more developed between digits III and IV. Digits II, III and IV point forward, while digit I is posteromedially oriented and connected by a tarsal-metatarsal joint. It differs from other ichnotaxa within Ignotornidae due to the presence of an interdigital web, digit I being 50% of the total footprint length, an average divarication angle of 123°, and average stride and pace lengths that are 30% to 50% smaller than those of other ichnospecies within the ichnogenus. The estimated body mass of the trackmaker is approximately 521 gr. The backward position of digit I, its relative length compared to the footprint length and size of the animal, suggests that the trackmaker was most likely a small ibis (Threskiornithidae). We include an ichnotaxonomic review of the Cretaceous and Cenozoic avian ichnofamilies to achieve a more simplified supra-generic systematics for avian footprints. The new ichnotaxon extends the stratigraphic and spatial range of Ignotornidae within the Cenozoic and to South America.

title: Morphology, development and ecological implications of the dentition of <i>Bajadasaurus pronuspinax</i>

description: The associated preservation between dentitions and dentigerous elements is crucial for understanding diverse biological features. Notwithstanding, their fossil record in Sauropoda is relatively seldom, compared to other skeletal elements. Here, the first partially complete dentition including upper and lower teeth in Dicraeosauridae is described, based on <i>Bajadasaurus pronuspinax</i>. This dentition lacks only one upper and two lower functional teeth. The dentigerous elements preserved replacement teeth, which reduce in length and number caudally. Tooth formation times and rates vary within the different elements, with a total mean replacement time of 40.7 days. The functional dentition shows three caudally directed patterns: reduction in size, reduction in curvature, and reduction in the occurrence of wear facets. The functional teeth number mirrors in the occlusal and sagittal planes. The replacement teeth count in <i>Bajadasaurus</i> is lower than the same for other diplodocoids. In this taxon, the tooth-replacement process fits the <i>Zahnreihen</i> with a Z-space-of-two model on the lower dentition, but this model results in a chaotic arrangement of the developmental pattern dorsally, probably due to a replacement mechanism of the whole upper dentition similar to <i>Dicraeosaurus</i> and <i>Apatosaurus</i>. Overall, the dental traits of <i>Bajadasaurus</i> suggest a plausible low-level specialist-feeding ecological niche for this taxon.

title: Cost-effectiveness of preventative care for perinatal anxiety and associated disorders: A rapid review

description: Objectives: Perinatal mental health (PMH) problems affect one in five
 women and cost the United Kingdom (UK) £8.1 billion for every year of
 births, with 72% of this cost due to the long-term impact on the child. We
 conducted a rapid review of health economic evaluations of preventative
 care for perinatal anxiety and associated disorders. Design: This
 study adopted a rapid review approach, using principles of the standard
 systematic review process to generate quality evidence. This methodology
 features a systematic database search, PRISMA diagram, screening of
 evidence, data extraction, critical appraisal, and narrative synthesis.
 Data Sources: PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied
 Health Literature (CINAHL), Cochrane Library, Applied Social Sciences
 Index and Abstracts (ASSIA), PsycINFO and MEDLINE. Eligibility criteria
 for selecting studies: Studies that evaluated the costs and
 cost-effectiveness of preventative care for perinatal anxiety and
 associated disorders carried out within the National Health Service (NHS)
 and similar healthcare systems. Data extraction and synthesis: A minimum
 of two independent reviewers used standardised methods to search, screen,
 critically appraise and synthesise included studies. Results: The
 results indicate a lack of economic evaluation specifically for perinatal
 anxiety, with most studies focussing on postnatal depression (PND).
 Interventions to prevent postnatal mental health problems are
 cost-effective. Modelling studies have also been conducted, which suggest
 that treating PND with counselling would be cost-effective. Conclusion:
 The costs of not intervening in maternal mental health outweigh the costs
 of preventative interventions. Preventative measures such as screening and
 counselling for maternal mental health are shown to be cost-effective
 interventions to improve outcomes for women and children. PROSPERO

title: Raw data from: Natural alleles at the Doa locus underpin evolutionary changes in Drosophila lifespan and fecundity

description: Evolve and resequence’ (E&R) studies in Drosophila melanogaster
 have identified many candidate loci underlying the evolution of ageing and
 life history, but experiments that validate the effects of such candidates
 remain rare. In a recent E&R study we have identified several
 alleles of the LAMMER kinase Darkener of apricot (Doa) as candidates for
 evolutionary changes in lifespan and fecundity. Here, we use two
 complementary approaches to confirm the functional role of Doa in
 life-history evolution. First, we used transgenic RNAi to study the
 effects of Doa at the whole-gene level. Ubiquitous silencing of expression
 in adult flies reduced both lifespan and fecundity, indicating pleiotropic
 effects. Second, to characterize segregating variation at Doa, we examined
 four candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; Doa-1, -2, -3, -4)
 using a genetic association approach. Three candidate SNPs had effects
 that were qualitatively consistent with expectations based on our
 E&R study: Doa-2 pleiotropically affected both lifespan and
 late-life fecundity; Doa-1 affected lifespan (but not fecundity), and
 Doa-4 affected late-life fecundity (but not lifespan). Finally, the last
 candidate allele (Doa-3) also affected lifespan, but in the opposite
 direction than predicted.

title: Bats are sentinels for invasive pest surveillance based on DNA metabarcoding

description: Insectivorous bats have been identified as important agents for biological
 pest control in the agroecosystems and impose strong top-down pressure on
 pests (Ramirez-Francel et al., 2022). Without bats, it is estimated that
 the United States would spend more than $3 billion a year on pesticides
 alone (Boyles et al., 2011). Thus, bats are expected to be natural pest
 collectors (Kunz, 2011). However, it is still unproven assumption that
 bats can be used to efficiently monitor invasive pests in agroecosystems.
 Due to the wide distribution of bats, their high foraging efficiency,
 large activity range, and because most bats return to the same habitat and
 cluster in roosts together after foraging, collecting fecal samples is
 feasible and convenient. In our preliminary experiments, multiple bat
 species were found to normally consume FAW, which provides an excellent
 opportunity for verifying the practicability of DNA metabarcoding in
 monitoring the invasion of this pest.
description: DNA was extracted from three
 to five faeces (dry weight 15-20 mg) per bat using the QIAamp DNA Stool
 Mini Kit (Qiagen, UK) principally following the manufacturer’s protocol
 (2016 version). Extracts were amplified in three replicates using two
 primer pairs, referred to as LCO (LCO‐1490: 5′‐GGTCAACAAATCATAAAGATATTGG‐3′; ZBJ‐ArtR2c: WACTAATCAATTWCCAAATCCTCC)
 (Chang et al., 2019;
 Folmer, Black, Hoeh, Lutz, & Vrijenhoek,
 1994) and Epp
 (Coleop_16Sc: TGCAAAGGTAGCATAATMATTAG; Coleop_16Sd: TCCATAGGGTCTTCTCGTC)
 (Epp et al.,
 2012). The primer sets are
 hereafter referred to as LCO and Epp primers, respectively. The products
 of three separate PCR replicates were mixed and extracted from a 2%
 agarose gel and further purified using the AxyPrep DNA Gel Extraction Kit
 (Axygen Biosciences) and quantified using QuantiFluor-ST (Promega)
 according to the protocol of manufacturer. During extraction, PCR and
 library preparation steps, two negative controls that reactions with no
 DNA were included to assess the incidence of cross‐-contamination
 (Alberdi et al.,
 2019). The DNA samples
 were Paired-end sequencing on an Illumina MiSeq PE300 platform (Illumine
 Inc., San Deigo, CA) at Majorbio Bio-Pharm Technology Co., Ltd. (Shanghai,
 China).

title: Sexual selection moderates heat stress response in males and females

description: 1. A widespread effect of climate change is the displacement of organisms
 from their thermal optima. The associated thermal stress imposed by
 climate change has been argued to have a particularly strong impact on
 male reproduction but evidence for this postulated sex-specific stress
 response is equivocal. 2. One important factor that may explain intra- and
 interspecific variation in stress responses is sexual selection, which is
 predicted to magnify negative effects of stress. Nevertheless, empirical
 studies exploring the interplay of sexual selection and heat stress are
 still scarce. 3. We tested experimentally for an interaction between
 sexual selection and thermal stress in the red flour beetle Tribolium
 castaneum by contrasting heat responses in male and female reproductive
 success between setups of enforced monogamy versus polygamy. 4. We found
 that polygamy magnifies detrimental effects of heat stress in males but
 relaxes the observed negative effects in females. Our results suggest that
 sexual selection can reverse sex differences in thermal sensitivity, and
 may therefore alter sex-specific selection on alleles associated with heat
 tolerance. 5. Assuming that sexual selection and natural selection are
 aligned to favour the same genetic variants under environmental stress,
 our findings support the idea that sexual selection on males may promote
 the adaptation to current global warming.

title: The impacts of fine-tuning, phylogenetic distance, and sample size on big-data bioacoustics

description: Vocalizations in animals, particularly birds, are critically important
 behaviors that influence their reproductive fitness. While recordings of
 bioacoustic data have been captured and stored in collections for decades,
 the automated extraction of data from these recordings has only recently
 been facilitated by artificial intelligence methods. These have yet to be
 evaluated with respect to accuracy of different automation strategies and
 features. Here, we use a recently published machine learning framework to
 extract syllables from ten bird species ranging in their phylogenetic
 relatedness from 1 to 85 million years, to compare how phylogenetic
 relatedness influences accuracy. We also evaluate the utility of applying
 trained models to novel species. Our results indicate that model
 performance is best on conspecifics, with accuracy progressively
 decreasing as phylogenetic distance increases between taxa. However, we
 also find that the application of models trained on multiple distantly
 related species can improve the overall accuracy to levels near that of
 training and analyzing a model on the same species. When planning big-data
 bioacoustics studies, care must be taken in sample design to maximize
 sample size and minimize human labor without sacrificing accuracy.
