title: Data from: Ornithogenic vegetation: How significant has the seabird influence been on the Aleutian Island vegetation during the Holocene?

description: In the Aleutian Islands during the Holocene, terrestrial predators were
 actually absent; as a result, large seabird colonies thrived along the
 coasts or across entire islands. Bird guano enriches the soil with
 nitrogen, which can lead to the formation of highly modified ornithogenic
 (bird-formed) ecosystems. For a more detailed investigation of avian
 influence, we reconstructed more than 10,000-year-old vegetation dynamics
 of the coast of Shemya Island (Near Islands) by pollen analysis. At the
 initial stages of vegetation development (10,000-4,600 cal yr BP),
 sedge-heather tundra grew in the studied area. A seabird colony existed on
 Shemya from 4,600 to 2,400 cal yr BP according to stable isotope analysis.
 During a period of at least 2,200-years nitrogen enrichment led to the
 development of ornithogenic herb meadows with a high presence of Apiaceae.
 A long-term increase in δ15N above 9-10‰ led to radical shifts in
 vegetation. Noticeable reduction of seabird colonies due to human hunting
 led to grass-meadows spreading. After a prolonged decrease δ15N below
 9-10‰ (2,400 cal yr BP to present), there was a shift towards less
 productive sedge-tundra communities. However, the significant enrichment
 of guano affected only the coastal vegetation and did not alter the inland
 Shemya Island.

title: Simple and complex, sexually dimorphic retinal mosaic of fritillary butterflies

description: Butterflies have variable sets of spectral photoreceptors that underlie
 colour vision. The photoreceptor organization may be optimised for the
 detection of body colouration. Fritillaries (Argynnini) are nymphalid
 butterflies exhibiting varying degrees of sexual dimorphism in wing
 colouration. In two sister species, the females have orange (Argynnis
 paphia) and dark wings (A. sagana), respectively, while the males of both
 species have orange wings with large patches of pheromone-producing
 androconia. In spite of the differences in female colouration, the eyes of
 both species exhibit an identical sexual dimorphism. The female eyeshine
 is uniform yellow, while the males have a complex retinal mosaic with
 yellow and red-reflecting ommatidia. We found the basic set of UV-, blue-
 and green-peaking photoreceptors in both sexes. Males additionally have
 three more photoreceptor classes, peaking in the green, yellow and red,
 respectively. The latter is the basal R9, indirectly measured through
 hyperpolarisations in the green-peaking R1-2. In many nymphalid tribes,
 including the closely related Heliconiini, the retinal mosaic is complex
 in both sexes. We hypothesise that the simple mosaic of female Argynnini
 is a secondary reduction, possibly driven by the use of olfaction for
 intraspecific recognition, whereas vision remains the primary sense for
 the task in the males.

title: Data from: Pop-out search instigates beta-gated feature selectivity enhancement across V4 layers

description: Visual search is a work-horse for investigating how attention interacts
 with processing of sensory information. Attentional selection has been
 linked to altered cortical sensory responses and feature preferences
 (i.e., tuning). However, attentional modulation of feature selectivity
 during search is largely unexplored. Here we map the spatiotemporal
 profile of feature selectivity during singleton search. Monkeys performed
 search where a pop-out feature determined the target of attention. We
 recorded laminar neural responses from visual area V4. We first identified
 “feature columns” which showed preference for individual colors. In the
 unattended condition, feature columns were significantly more selective in
 superficial relative to middle and deep layers. Attending a stimulus
 increased selectivity in all layers but not equally. Feature selectivity
 increased most in the deep layers, leading to higher selectivity in
 extragranular layers as compared to the middle layer. This
 attention-induced enhancement was rhythmically gated in phase with the
 beta-band local field potential. Beta power dominated both extragranular
 laminar compartments, but current source density analysis pointed to an
 origin in superficial layers, specifically. While beta-band power was
 present regardless of attentional state, feature selectivity was only
 gated by beta in the attended condition. Neither the beta oscillation nor
 its gating of feature selectivity varied with microsaccade production.
 Importantly, beta modulation of neural activity predicted response times,
 suggesting a direct link between attentional gating and behavioral output.
 Together, these findings suggest beta-range synaptic activation in
 V4's superficial layers rhythmically gates attentional enhancement of
 feature tuning in a way that affects the speed of attentional selection.

title: Hyaluronic acid-binding, anionic, nanoparticles inhibit ECM degradation and restore compressive strength in aggrecan-depleted articular cartilage explants

description: Joint trauma results in the production of inflammatory cytokines that
 stimulate the secretion of catabolic enzymes which degrade articular
 cartilage. Molecular fragments of the degraded articular cartilage further
 stimulate inflammatory cytokine production with this process eventually
 resulting in post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). The loss of aggrecan is
 considered an early step in the progression of PTOA. Aggrecan, composed of
 a core protein linked to sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), associates
 with hyaluronic acid (HA) via a link protein. The fragmentation of
 aggrecan allows diffusion of its anionic GAGs out of the cartilage and
 results in the loss of compressive strength in articular cartilage.
 Binding to HA within aggrecan-depleted cartilage and restoring the tissue
 anionic charge has the potential to restore the osmotic pressure
 responsible for the compressive strength of articular cartilage. Presented
 here, we conjugated the HA-binding peptide GAHWQFNALTVRGSG functionalized
 with a hydrazide (GAH-Hyd) to anionic hollow nanoparticles (hNPs). The
 hNPs are composed of: N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAm), N, N′-bis (acryloyl)
 cystamine (BAC), 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS), and
 acrylic acid (AAc). Reaction of AAc with GAH-Hyd resulted in GAH
 functionalized hNPs (GAH-hNPs). Increasing the molar ratio of GAH to AAc
 resulted in increased peptide conjugation to the hNPs. Nanoparticles
 conjugated with roughly 19 GAH peptides, termed 19 GAH-hNP, bound to HA in
 solution and increased the dynamic viscosity by 94.0% compared to free HA
 solution treated with unconjugated hNPs. Moreover, 3 mm diameter, full
 thickness, aggrecan-depleted (AD) cartilage explants treated with 0.10 mg
 of 19 GAH-hNP restored the compressive strength to healthy cartilage
 levels, 95.9 ± 16.2 kPa compared to 123.7 ± 26.5 kPa, respectively, six
 days after a single dose of the therapeutic. AD explants treated with 0.10
 mg of 19 GAH-hNP inhibited the degradation of articular cartilage shown by
 a 180.09% decrease in chondroitin sulfate (CS) release from cartilage
 explants into media compared to untreated-AD control, and had 409.03% more
 collagen type II and 597.58% more GAG content than untreated-AD explants.
 Finally, fluorescent hNP conjugated with GAH were retained within the
 joint space of rats for up to 7 days. The 19 GAH-hNP therapeutic presented
 here was able to slow ECM degradation in AD cartilage explants and
 restored the compressive strength of damaged cartilage. This therapeutic
 shows promise as a localized treatment for PTOA.

title: Evolution of thermal physiology alters the projected range of threespine stickleback under climate change

description: Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict range shifts
 but could be unreliable under climate change scenarios because they do not
 account for evolution. The thermal physiology of a species is a key
 determinant of range and thus incorporating thermal trait evolution into
 SDMs might be expected to alter projected ranges. We identified a genetic
 basis for physiological and behavioural traits that evolve in response to
 temperature change in natural populations of threespine stickleback
 (Gasterosteus aculeatus). Using these data, we created geographic range
 projections using a mechanistic niche envelope approach under two climate
 change scenarios. Under both scenarios, trait data was either static (‘no
 evolution’ model), allowed to evolve at observed evolutionary rates for
 the trait (‘evolution’ model), or allowed to evolve at a rate of evolution
 scaled in association with the variance that is explained by quantitative
 trait loci (QTL; ‘scaled evolution’ models). We show that incorporating
 these traits and their evolution substantially altered the projected
 ranges for a widespread panmictic marine population, with over 7-fold
 increases in area under climate change projections when traits are allowed
 to evolve. Evolution-informed SDMs should improve the precision of
 forecasting range dynamics under climate change, and aid in their
 application to management and the protection of biodiversity.

title: Number of gallery arms for oviposition by the tree-killing bark beetle Polygraphus proximus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae)

description: Polygraphus proximus Blandford (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) is
 a non-aggressive monogynous bark beetle. It has caused mass mortality in
 fir (Abies spp.) forests in the past decade. Although gallery structures
 made by polygynous beetles may influence their reproductive success, the
 gallery structure and the number of eggs laid by the monogynous
 tree-killing bark beetle P. proximus have not been investigated in detail
 in the natural setting of their native range. We, therefore, investigated
 the length of mother galleries of P. proximus and the number of eggs
 oviposited by the beetles in relation to gallery systems with different
 numbers of arms in Japan. The number of eggs oviposited in two-armed
 galleries was significantly greater than that observed in one-armed
 galleries. Additionally, the length of one- or two-armed galleries with no
 oviposition was significantly shorter than that in galleries consisting of
 more than two arms. Our results suggest that the optimal number of arms in
 a gallery system (in terms of the number of eggs oviposited) was two.

title: Daphnia sinensis genome

description: The genomic mechanism by which aquatic organisms adapt to high-altitude
 environments remains unknown. In this study, we provide a high-quality
 chromosome-level genome assembly (~133 Mb, scaffold N50 11.3 Mb) of a
 water flea (Daphnia sinensis). This enabled us to discover that there have
 been chromosomal rearrangements between two subgenera of Daphnia. We
 further show that the D. sinensis population living on the Tibetan Plateau
 exhibits several key genomic adaptive features (e.g., enhanced expression
 of genes associated with DNA repair to cope with harmful UV radiation,
 response to hypoxia and increased energy metabolism) to cope with the
 extremely harsh environments at high altitude, when compared with
 conspecific populations living in low-altitude habitats. These findings
 provide important insights into the genetic basis of high-altitude
 adaptation.

title: Neotropical forest soundscapes with call identifications for katydids

description: Insects are an integral part of terrestrial ecosystems, but while they are
 ubiquitous, they can be difficult to census. Passive acoustic recording
 can provide detailed information on the spatial and temporal distribution
 of sound producing insects. We placed recording devices in the forest
 canopy on Barro Colorado Island in Panamá and identified katydid calls in
 recordings to assess what species were present, in which seasons they were
 signaling, and how often they called. The focal recordings were collected
 at a height of 24 meters in two replicate sites, sampled three times per
 night across five months, spanning both wet and dry seasons. Katydid calls
 were commonly detected in recordings, but the call repetition rates of
 many species were quite low, consistent with findings from individual
 focal recordings. The recordings contained 6,789 calls with visible pulse
 structure. Of these, we identified 4,371 to species with the remainder
 representing calls that could not be identified to species. The identified
 calls corresponded to 24 species, with 15 of these species detected at
 both replicate sites. Katydid calls were detected throughout the night.
 Most species were detected at all three timepoints in the night, although
 some species called more just after dusk and just before dawn. The
 annotated dataset provided here serves as an archival sample of the
 species diversity and number of calls present in the forest canopy of
 Barro Colorado Island, Panama. These hand-annotated data will also be key
 for evaluating automated approaches to detecting and classifying insect
 calls. In changing forests and with potentially declining insect
 populations, consistent approaches for insect sampling will be key for
 generating interpretable and actionable data.

title: Emissions impact of connected and automated vehicle deployment in California - model results

description: This study helps understand how the anticipated emergence of autonomous
 vehicles will affect various aspects of society and transportation,
 including travel demand, vehicle miles traveled, energy consumption, and
 emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants. The study begins with
 a literature review on connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technology
 for light-duty vehicles, the factors likely to affect CAV adoption,
 expected impacts of CAVs, and approaches to modeling these impacts. The
 study then uses a set of modifications in the California Statewide Travel
 Demand Model (CSTDM) to simulate the following scenarios for the
 deployment of passenger light-duty CAVs in California by 2050: (0)
 Baseline (no automation); (1) Private CAV; (2) Private CAV + Pricing; (3)
 Private CAV + Zero emission vehicles (ZEV); (4) Shared CAV; (5) Shared CAV
 + Pricing; (6) Shared CAV + ZEV. The modified CSTDM is used to forecast
 travel demand and mode share for each scenario, and this output is used in
 combination with the emission factors from the EMission FACtor model
 (EMFAC) and Vision model to calculate energy consumption and criteria
 pollutant emissions. The modeling results indicate that the mode shares of
 public transit and in-state air travel will likely sharply decrease, while
 total vehicle miles traveled and emissions will likely increase, due to
 the relative convenience of CAVs. The study also reveals limitations in
 models like the CSTDM that primarily use sociodemographic factors and
 job/residence location as inputs for the simulation of activity
 participation and tour patterns, without accounting for some of the
 disruptive effects of CAVs. The study results also show that total vehicle
 miles traveled and vehicle hours traveled could be substantially impacted
 by a modification in future auto travel costs. This means that the
 eventual implementation of pricing strategies and congestion pricing
 policies, together with policies that support the deployment of shared and
 electric CAVs, could help curb tailpipe pollutant emissions in future
 scenarios, though they may not be able to completely offset the increases
 in travel demand and road congestion that might result from CAV
 deployment. Such policies should be considered to counteract and mitigate
 some of the undesirable impacts of CAVs on society and on the environment.

title: Attractiveness of sown wildflower strips to flower-visiting insects depends on seed mixture and establishment success

description: Establishing wildflower strips has been suggested as an effective measure
 to promote pollination services, pest control or general insect
 biodiversity, but little is known about the integration of these different
 objectives when selecting flower seed mixtures. In ten agricultural
 landscapes in the Netherlands, we established a wildflower strip (0.4 –
 4.9 ha) with half of each strip sown with a mixture targeting
 longer-tongued pollinators and the other half sown with a mixture
 targeting shorter-tongued pollinators and natural enemies. We determined
 establishment success of sown wildflowers and evaluated the attractiveness
 of the established flower communities to multiple functional groups of
 flower visitors: bumblebees (long-tongued pollinators), hoverflies
 (short-tongued pollinators and natural enemies), and butterflies and total
 flower-visitor richness (indicators of wider biodiversity values).
 Bumblebees clearly preferred the pollinatortargeted seed mixture and were
 positively associated with cover of Fabaceae and negatively with Apiaceae.
 Hoverflies consistently preferred the natural enemy mixture and were
 positively associated with Apiaceae. The other target groups displayed no
 clear responses to seed mixture type but instead were associated with
 local flower richness within strips. Across sites, responses of
 flower-visitors to sown mixture types did not depend on wildflower strip
 size, proportion of surrounding semi-natural habitat, or flower variables.
 However, all flower-visitors except butterflies increased with increasing
 cover or richness of (sown) flower species across sites. Our results
 suggest that, although species-rich wildflower strips may benefit several
 species groups, maximising different objectives involves trade-offs
 between functional groups that prefer short- or long-corolla flowers.
 Furthermore, our study suggests that sowing a wildflower mixture does not
 necessarily result in a vegetation with the same composition as the seed
 mixture as species may establish poorly or not at all. Selection of flower
 species for seed mixtures should therefore, in addition to insect target
 group, take the establishment characteristics of plant species into
 account.
description: Abundance and richness of bumblebees, hoverflies, and flower
 cover and richness were surveyed in ten wildflower strips in the
 Netherlands in 2013 and 2014. Half of each strip was sown with a flower
 seed mixture targeting pollinators, the other half was sown with a seed
 mixture targeting natural enemies. Flower-visitors and flowers were
 surveyed in five 10 m  x 5 m transects per mixture-type, three times in
 2013 (June, July and August) and two times in 2014 (June and
 August).
