title: Common palm civets (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) are positively associated with humans and forest degradation with implications for seed dispersal and zoonotic diseases

description: Habitat loss and degradation can undermine wildlife communities and
 ecosystem functioning. However, certain generalist wildlife species like
 mesopredators and omnivores can exploit these disturbed habitats,
 sometimes leading to population increases (e.g., “mesopredator release” in
 degraded areas). Although mesopredator release may cause negative effects
 on food webs and zoonotic disease management, some disturbance-tolerant
 species may help perpetuate important ecological interactions, such as
 seed dispersal. We evaluated the habitat associations of common palm
 civets (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus), which are widespread generalist
 mesopredators in Southeast Asia. Common palm civets are also high-quality
 seed dispersers, and potential zoonotic disease hosts. We used published
 and new camera trapping data to map their probability of presence across
 Southeast Asia and evaluate regional-scale associations between capture
 rates and habitat variables such as elevation, ecoregion intactness, and
 Human Footprint Index, among others. We also assessed the influence of
 habitat variables on their relative abundance at the local scale. At the
 regional scale, we found that common palm civets showed significant
 positive associations with landscapes characterized by lower ecoregion
 intactness, higher Human Footprint Index, and lower elevations. At the
 local scale, their relative abundance showed a significant positive
 association with higher Human Footprint Index, but only to a certain
 point, after which it started decreasing. They also favored lower
 elevations at the local scale. These multi-scale results indicate that
 common palm civets’ abundance can increase under certain levels of human
 disturbances, consistent with the “mesopredator release” hypothesis. This
 suggests they may be crucial seed dispersers in degraded forest
 landscapes, especially where more sensitive seed dispersers have
 disappeared. Our results are also consistent with previous studies
 reporting that habitat degradation increases populations of potential
 zoonotic disease hosts, and thus risks of transmission to humans.

title: Cell orientation characteristics of the natural combs of honey bee colonies

description: The cell orientation characteristics of the natural combs of honey bees
 have received much research attention. Although natural combs have been
 shown to be composed of cells with three orientations—vertical,
 intermediate (oblique), and horizontal—the proportion of comb cells in
 these three orientations varies. Knowledge of the comb-building
 preferences of honey bees is essential for the installation of wax comb
 foundations, and clarification of the cell orientation characteristics of
 natural honey bee combs is important for beekeeping. The purpose of this
 study was to determine the cell orientation characteristics of natural
 combs of Eastern honey bees (Apis cerana cerana) and Western honey bees
 (Apis mellifera ligustica). Newly built combs were used to measure the
 orientation of hexagonal cells and calculate the proportion of cells in
 different orientations relative to the total number of cells. The number
 of eggs laid by queens in the cells of different orientations was also
 determined. The orientation of cells in the natural combs of Eastern and
 Western honey bees was determined based on the value of the minimum
 included angle between the pair of parallel cell walls and a vertical line
 connecting the top and bottom bars of the movable frame in the geometric
 plane of the comb: 0°≤θ≤10°, 10°&lt;θ≤20°, and 20°&lt;θ≤30° for
 vertical, intermediate, and horizontal orientations, respectively. Natural
 combs were composed of cells with at least one orientation (vertical or
 horizontal), two orientations (vertical + intermediate (oblique) or
 vertical + horizontal), or three orientations (vertical + intermediate +
 horizontal), and the proportions of combs with the three aforementioned
 configurations differed. Both Eastern honey bees and Western honey bees
 preferred building combs with cells in a vertical orientation. Queens
 showed no clear preference for laying eggs in cells of specific
 orientations. The results of this study provide new insight that could aid
 the production and cutting of wax comb foundations of Eastern and Western
 honey bees. Our study highlights the importance of installing wax comb
 foundations compatible with the comb-building preferences of bees.

title: Recent estimate of Asian elephants in Borneo reveals a smaller population

description: Asian elephants occurring in northern Borneo form a geographically
 isolated and genetically distinct population. Of this, the subpopulation
 of Central Sabah holds the greatest opportunity for long-term survival,
 due to a relatively large population size and occurrence over a vast,
 contiguous, and protected habitat. We surveyed this subpopulation in 2015
 using advanced methods to obtain a population size estimate. We used the
 distance-sampling framework and laid out transects following a stratified
 random design for counting elephant dung piles; measured dung decay
 following the ‘retrospective’ method; and used Bayesian analysis to
 estimate dung decay rate and dung pile density. Thus, we estimated a
 posterior mean dung decay rate of 212 days (95% BCI: 133–319), an overall
 elephant density of 0.07 per km2 (95% BCI: 0.03–0.11), and a population
 size of 387 elephants (95% BCI: 169–621). These estimates were far lower
 than the population size of 1132 individuals and density of 1.18 per km2
 estimated in 2008. It is unlikely that there has been a steep population
 decline, as there were no drastic land-use changes between 2008 and 2015,
 nor were there other identifiable causes for a population decline.
 Therefore, it appears that the methodological and analytical flaws in the
 previous estimate are the most plausible reason for this observed
 difference. Given that the new estimate suggests a much smaller
 population, it is prudent and precautionary to use the new estimate as the
 basis for all policy decisions and conservation actions for elephants in
 Sabah.

title: Data from: Foliar herbivory creates subtle soil legacy effects that alter future herbivores via changes in plant community biomass allocation

description: Plants leave legacy effects in the soil they grow in, which can drive
 important vegetation processes, including productivity, community dynamics
 and species turnover. Plants at the same time also face continuous
 pressure posed by insect herbivores. Given the intimate interactions
 between plants and herbivores in ecosystems, plant identity and herbivory
 are likely to interactively shape soil legacies. However, the mechanisms
 that drive such legacy effects on future generations of plants and
 associated herbivores are little known. In a greenhouse study, we exposed
 ten common grasses and non-leguminous forbs individually to insect
 herbivory by two closely related noctuid caterpillars, Mamestra brassicae
 and Trichoplusia ni (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) or kept them free of
 herbivores. We then used the soil legacies created by these plant
 individuals to grow a plant community composed of all ten plant species in
 each soil, and exposed these plant communities to M. brassicae. We
 measured conditioning plant biomass, soil respiration and chemistry of the
 conditioned soils, as well as individual plant, plant community and
 herbivore biomass responses. At the end of the conditioning phase, soils
 with herbivore legacies had higher soil respiration, but only
 significantly so for M. brassicae. Herbivore legacies had minimal impacts
 on community productivity. However, path models reveal that
 herbivore-induced soil legacies affected responding herbivores through
 changes in plant community shoot: root ratios. Soil legacy effect patterns
 differed between functional groups. We found strong plant species and
 functional group-specific effects on soil respiration parameters, which in
 turn led to plant community shifts in grass: forb biomass ratios. Soil
 legacies were negative for the growth of plants of the same functional
 group.  Synthesis: We show that insect herbivory, plant
 species and their functional groups, all incur soil microbial responses
 that lead to subtle (herbivory) or strong (plants and their functional
 group) effects in response plant communities and associated polyphagous
 herbivores. Hence, even though typically ignored, our study emphasizes
 that legacies of previous insect herbivory in the soil can influence
 current soil-plant-insect community interactions.

title: Environmental variability as a predictor of behavioral flexibility in urban environments

description: Global urbanization processes have highlighted the importance of
 understanding the effects of urban habitats on animal behavior. Behavioral
 changes are usually evaluated along an urbanization gradient, comparing
 urban and rural populations. However, this metric fails to consider
 heterogeneity between urban habitats that can differ significantly in
 their characteristics, such as their level of environmental variability.
 We suggest incorporating dimensions of environmental variability into the
 urbanization metric. We tested the importance of both level of
 urbanization and level of urban stability (the rate of anthropogenic
 changes) on animals' behavioral flexibility by comparing reversal
 learning abilities in house sparrows from sites differing in the rate of
 urban development over time. We show that at least for males, urban
 stability better explains levels of behavioral flexibility than
 urbanization level. We further show that urban stability corresponds to
 other behavioral traits such as scrounging behavior and foraging activity.
 Thus, considering environmental stability and predictability in the form
 of urban changes can help better understand the mechanisms allowing
 behavioral changes and adaptations to urban environments. Evaluating the
 dynamics of the urban built environment could provide a better metric with
 which to understand urbanization effects on wildlife behavior and an
 important next step in urban ecology.

title: Bee Tracker – an open-source machine-learning based video analysis software for the assessment of nesting and foraging performance of cavity-nesting solitary bees

description: The foraging and nesting performance of bees can provide important
 information on bee health and is of interest for risk and impact
 assessment of environmental stressors. While radio-frequency
 identification (RFID) technology is an efficient tool increasingly used
 for the collection of behavioral data in social bee species such as honey
 bees, behavioral studies on solitary bees still largely depend on direct
 observations, which is very time-consuming. Here, we present a novel
 automated methodological approach of individually and simultaneously
 tracking and analyzing foraging and nesting behavior of numerous
 cavity-nesting solitary bees. The approach consists of monitoring nesting
 units by video recording and automated analysis of videos by a machine
 learning based software. This Bee Tracker software consists of four
 trained deep learning networks to detect bees that enter or leave their
 nest and to recognize individual IDs on the bees’ thorax as well as the
 IDs of their nests according to their positions in the nesting unit. The
 software is able to identify each nest of each individual nesting bee,
 which permits to measure individual-based measures of reproductive
 success. Moreover, the software quantifies the number of cavities a female
 enters until it finds its nest as a proxy of nest recognition, and it
 provides information on the number and duration of foraging trips. By
 training the software on 8 videos recording 24 nesting females per video,
 the software achieved a precision of 96% correct measurements of these
 parameters. The software could be adapted to various experimental setups
 by training it to an according set of videos. The presented method allows
 to efficiently collect large amounts of data on cavity-nesting solitary
 bee species and represents a promising new tool for the monitoring and
 assessment of behavior and reproductive success under laboratory,
 semi-field and field conditions.

title: Coevolutionary theory of hosts and parasites

description: Host and parasite evolution are closely intertwined, with selection for
 adaptations and counter-adaptations forming a coevolutionary feedback
 loop. Coevolutionary dynamics are often difficult to intuit due to these
 feedbacks and are hard to demonstrate empirically in most systems.
 Theoretical models have therefore played a crucial role in shaping our
 understanding of host-parasite coevolution. Theoretical models vary widely
 in their assumptions, approaches and aims, and such variety makes it
 difficult, especially for non-theoreticians and those new to the field,
 to: (1) understand how model approaches relate to one another; (2)
 identify key modelling assumptions; (3) determine how model assumptions
 relate to biological systems and (4) reconcile the results of different
 models with contrasting assumptions. In this review, we identify important
 model features, highlight key results and predictions and describe how
 these pertain to model assumptions. We carry out a literature survey of
 theoretical studies published since the 1950s (n=219 papers) to support
 our analysis. We identify two particularly important features of models
 that tend to have a significant qualitative impact on the outcome of
 host-parasite coevolution: population dynamics and the genetic basis of
 infection. We also highlight the importance of other modelling features,
 such as stochasticity and whether time proceeds continuously or in
 discrete steps, that have received less attention but can drastically
 alter coevolutionary dynamics. We finish by summarising recent
 developments in the field, specifically the trend towards greater model
 complexity, and discuss likely future directions for research.

title: Supplementary data for: Surface damage of perpendicular and oblique bullet impacts in stone

description: Controlled experiments were conducted to investigate the surface damage
 caused by perpendicular and oblique impacts of bullets into sandstone and
 limestone targets. Individual bullets fired in conditions simulating
 modern rifles at typical combat distances excavated craters with diameters
 from 22 to 74 mm and depths from 4 to 24 mm. Limestone target craters were
 up to twice as large and deep as those in sandstone. These craters have a
 complex shape consisting of a central excavation surrounded by a shallow
 dish, compared to the simple bowl shape of most sandstone impacts. Radial
 fractures extending to the edge of the target block were common in
 limestone targets. Impacts at an angle of 45° to the surface in both rock
 types result in asymmetric craters. Two common types of ammunition were
 compared: the steel-tipped NATO projectile generally produced larger and
 deeper craters than the projectile that is commonly fired from AK-47
 rifles, despite having approximately half the mass of the latter. These
 results characterise the sort of damage that can be expected at many sites
 of cultural significance involved in contemporary conflict zones, and have
 important implications for their conservation.

title: Immuno-proteomic profiling reveals aberrant immune cell regulation in the airways of individuals with ongoing post-COVID-19 respiratory disease

description: Some patients hospitalized with acute COVID-19 suffer respiratory symptoms
 that persist for many months. We delineated the immune-proteomic landscape
 in the airway and peripheral blood of healthy controls and post-COVID-19
 patients 3 to 6 months after hospital discharge. Post-COVID-19 patients
 showed abnormal airway (but not plasma) proteomes, with elevated
 concentration of proteins associated with apoptosis, tissue repair and
 epithelial injury versus healthy individuals. Increased numbers of
 cytotoxic lymphocytes were observed in individuals with
 greater airway dysfunction, while increased B cell numbers and altered
 monocyte subsets were associated with more widespread lung abnormalities.
 1 year follow-up of some post-COVID-19 patients indicated that these
 abnormalities resolved over time. In summary, COVID-19 causes a prolonged
 change to the airway immune landscape in those with persistent lung
 disease, with evidence of cell death and tissue repair linked to ongoing
 activation of cytotoxic T cells.
