title: Data from Beyond MAP: A guide to dimensions of rainfall variability for tropical ecology

description: Tropical ecologists have long recognized rainfall as the key climate
 filter shaping tropical ecosystem structure and function across space and
 time. Still, tropical ecologists have historically had a limited toolkit
 for characterizing rainfall, largely relying on simple metrics like mean
 annual precipitation (MAP) and dry season length to characterize rainfall
 regimes that vary along many more dimensions. Here, we review methods for
 quantifying dimensions of rainfall variability on multiple time scales,
 with a focus on ecological applications of these methods. We also discuss
 key considerations for tropical ecologists looking to use rainfall metrics
 that better align with hypothesized biological or ecological mechanisms or
 that more effectively describe rainfall variability in the systems we
 study, and provide a toolkit (R scripts and gridded datasets) to do so. We
 argue that incorporating more sophisticated approaches to quantify
 rainfall variability into study design and statistical analyses will
 enhance our understanding of past, ongoing, and future changes in tropical
 ecosystems.  
description: Dataset contains four gridded datasets of dimensions of rainfall
 variation as described in Schwartz et al. All variables were derived from
 monthly rainfall time series, derived from TRMM data from 1997-2016 and
 are presented at 0.25 degree resolution. Each .tif file has two bands.
 Band 1 is the mean value for the DRV and band 2 is its standard deviation
 over the 20-year time period.  Also included are R
 functions and example scripts for calculating DRVs.

title: Do diverse cover crop mixtures perform better than monocultures? A systematic review

description: We conducted a systematic review that synthesizes a growing body of cover
 crop mixture research. The extracted data was analyzed to assess, for
 seven metric categories, whether cover crop mixtures can perform better
 than their constituent species when planted alone. Searching three
 databases, we identified 27 studies which compared cover crop mixtures
 (containing at least three species) to all their constituent species. The
 studies contained 119 sampled cover crop plantings that met our
 eligibility criteria. From these, we extracted 243 full comparisons of the
 best‐performing mixture and best‐performing monoculture for the selected
 metrics. Dataset S1 contains the best monoculture versus best
 mixture comparisons. Dataset S2 contains cover crop planting and
 sampling dates. Dataset S3 contains cover crop treatment
 coefficient of variation information. Dataset S4 contains cover
 crop treatment seeding rate information for studies where a
 non-substitutive design was used.

title: Data from: Making job postings more equitable: evidence-based recommendations from an analysis of data professionals job postings between 2013-2018

description: Over the last decade, many academic libraries have hired data
 professionals in order to offer research data services. As these positions
 often require different types of experience than traditional librarian
 positions, there is an increased interest in hiring professionals from
 outside  the typical library and information science (LIS)
 pipeline. There has also been an increased interest in academic libraries
 and higher education more broadly to incorporate the principles and
 practices of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility
 (DEI&A) into their work. These phenomena allow an opportunity to
 examine the growing area of data professionals and library hiring
 practices through the lens of DEI&A. We present data collected
 from 180 data professional job positions -- including the education,
 experiences, and skills -- to better understand the evolving and complex
 landscape of data professionals and provide evidence-based recommendations
 on what we, as a profession, can do to enact meaningful and lasting change
 in the areas of DEI&A.
description: This research study used deductive thematic analysis to examine
 data professional job postings that were posted from January 1, 2013 to
 June 30, 2018. We gathered these job postings from the following
 electronic mailing lists: 1) Code4Lib jobs list (n.d.), 2) International
 Association of Social Science Information Services & Technology
 jobs portal (n.d.), 3) Digital Library Federation Job Board (n.d.), 4)
 DataCure (n.d.), 5) Research Data Access and Preservation Association
 (n.d.), and 6) ACRL Science & Technology Section (n.d.). These
 data sources were chosen because they are known nationally, attract job
 postings from a diverse pool of academic libraries, and provide access to
 job postings during the chosen time frame.

title: MiRNA-103/107 in primary high-grade serous ovarian cancer and its clinical significance

description: High levels of miRNA-103/107 are associated with poor outcome in case of
 breast cancer patients. MiRNA-103/107- DICER axis may be one of the key
 regulators of cancer aggressiveness. MiRNA-103/107 expression levels have
 never been related to patients’ survival in epithelial ovarian cancer. We
 aimed to assess miRNA-103/107 expression levels in high grade serous
 ovarian cancer tissues. Expression levels of both miRNAs were related to
 the clinicopathological features and survival. We also evaluated
 expression levels of miRNA-103/107 and DICER in selected ovarian cancer
 cell lines (A2780, A2780cis, SK-OV-3, OVCAR3). We assessed relative
 expression of miRNA-103/107  (quantitative reverse transcription
 polymerase chain reaction) in fifty archival formalin-fixed paraffin
 embedded tissue samples of primary high grade serous ovarian cancer .
 Then, miRNA-103/107 and DICER expression levels were evaluated in selected
 ovarian cancer cells lines. Additionally,  DICER, N-/E-cadherin
 protein levels were assessed with the use of western blot. We identified
 miRNA-107 up-regulation in ovarian cancer in comparison to healthy tissues
 (p=0.0005). In case of miRNA-103, we did not observe statistically
 significant differences between cancerous and healthy tissues
 (p=0.07).  We did not find any correlations between miRNA-103/107
 expression levels and clinicopathological features. Kaplan-Meier survival
 (disease free and overall survival) analysis revealed that both miRNAs
 cannot be considered as prognostic factors. SK-OV-3 cancer cell lines was
 characterised by high expression of miRNA-103/107, relatively low
 expression of DICER (western-blot) and relatively high N-cadherin levels
 in comparison to other ovarian cancer cell lines. Clinical and prognostic
 significance of miRNA-103/107 was not confirmed in our study.

title: Cool birds: facultative use by an introduced species of mechanical air conditioning systems during extremely hot outdoor conditions

description: Rapid climate change across the globe is having dramatic effects on
 wildlife. Responses of organisms to shifting thermal conditions often
 include physiological and behavioural accommodations, but to date these
 have been largely viewed and studied as naturally evolved phenomena (e.g.
 heat avoidance, sweating, panting) and not necessarily as strategies where
 animals exploit other anthropogenic conditions or resources. Moreover, the
 degree to which native versus introduced species show thermal plasticity
 has generated much conservation and ecological interest. We previously
 have observed introduced rosy-faced lovebirds (Agapornis roseicollis)
 perching in the relief-air vents on building faces in the Phoenix,
 Arizona, USA metropolitan area, but doing so only during summer. Here we
 show that such vent-perching events are significantly associated with
 extreme outdoor summer temperatures (when daily local highs routinely
 exceed 40° C). In fact, the temperature threshold at which we detected
 lovebirds starting to perch in cool-air vents mirrors the upper range of
 the thermoneutral zone for this species. These results implicate novel,
 facultative use of an anthropogenic resource - industrial air-conditioning
 systems - by a recently introduced species (within the last 35 years) to
 cool down and survive extremely hot conditions in this urban ‘heat-island’
 environment.

title: Data from: Contingent tradeoff decisions with feedbacks in cyclical environments: testing alternative theories

description: This archive contains the model code and input for the simulation
 experiments published in: Railsback, Harvey, and Ayllón, in press.
 Contingent tradeoff decisions with feedbacks in cyclical environments:
 testing alternative theories. Behavioral Ecology. BEHECO-2019-0460.R3.
 That paper formulates and tests four alternative theories for how animals
 make tradeoff decisions throughout the circadian light cycle in a
 population context, with the behavior of each individual affecting the
 resources available to others. The example application is to stream trout
 selecting when and where to feed vs. hide, during dawn, day, dusk, and
 night. These theories are tested against observed patterns reported in the
 literature. The archive provides separate NetLogo program files for each
 theory and each simulation experiment. These files allow complete
 reproduction of the simulation experiments.
description: The archive contains 40 NetLogo code files that each contain the
 code, parameter values, and experiment setup for one of the simulation
 experiments reported in the article. They can be used to recreate and
 modify those experiments. A basic understanding of the
 NetLogo software platform is all that is necessary to use these files.
 NetLogo is free (http://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/), well-documented,
 and widely used. Railsback and Grimm (2019;
 http://www.railsback-grimm-abm-book.com) introduce its use in ecological
 modeling.
description: The archive consists of one zip file that contains all 40 NetLogo
 files plus a subdirectory (“LJCLower”) containing the input files used in
 all the simulations. See the file

title: Additive and non-additive responses of seedlings to simulated herbivory and drought data

description: Drought is a global threat, increasing in severity and frequency
 throughout tropical ecosystems. Although plants often face drought in
 conjunction with biotic stressors, such as herbivory or disease,
 experimental studies infrequently test the simultaneous effects of drought
 and biotic stress. Because multiple simultaneous stressors may have
 non-additive and complex effects on plant performance, it is difficult to
 predict plant responses to multiple threats from research examining one
 stress at a time. Using an experimental approach in the greenhouse, we
 investigated potential non-additivity in seedling growth and survival to
 simulated drought and herbivory across a phylogenetically diverse pool of
 ten Hawaiian plant species. Overall, seedlings showed limited tolerance,
 defined as similar growth and survival in stressed compared to control
 (non-stressed) plants, to simulated herbivory and drought, with the
 combined effects of both stressors to be generally additive and negative
 across species. Significant variation in stress tolerance was detected
 among species, and species variation was explained, at least in part, by
 functional traits such that species with larger root/shoot ratios and
 smaller seeds, tended to demonstrate greater herbivory and drought
 tolerance. Future research incorporating additional trait analysis and
 different stressors could shed light on mechanisms underlying seedling
 stress tolerance and clarify whether additivity, as detected in this
 study, extends across other combinations of stressors. Such work will
 provide needed insights into the regeneration of seedlings in tropical
 forests under threats of herbivory and climate change.

title: The type of leg lost affects habitat use but not survival in a non-regenerating arthropod

description: Finding shelter and surviving encounters with predators are pervasive
 challenges for animals. These challenges may be exacerbated after
 individuals experience bodily damage. Certain forms of damage arise
 voluntarily in animals, for instance, some taxa release appendages (tails,
 legs, or other body parts) as a defensive strategy (‘autotomy’). This
 behavior, however, may pose long-term negative consequences for habitat
 use and survival. Additionally, these putative consequences are expected
 to vary according to the function of the lost body part. We tested the
 effects of losing different functional leg types (locomotor or sensory) on
 future habitat use and survival in a Neotropical species of Prionostemma
 harvestmen (Arachnida: Opiliones) that undergo frequent autotomy but do
 not regrow limbs. Daytime surveys revealed that both eight-legged
 harvestmen and harvestmen missing legs roosted in similar frequencies
 across habitats (tree bark, mossy tree, or fern), and perched at similar
 heights. Mark-recapture data showed that harvestmen that lost sensory legs
 roosted in tree bark less frequently, but on mossy trees more frequently.
 On the contrary, we did not observe changes in habitat use for
 eight-legged animals or animals that lost locomotor legs. This change
 might be related to sensory exploration and navigation. Lastly, we found
 that recapture rates across substrates were not affected by the type of
 legs lost, suggesting that leg loss does not impact survival. This
 potential lack of effect might play a role in why a defensive strategy
 like autotomy is so prevalent in harvestmen despite the lack of
 regeneration.
description: We surveyed harvestmen of the genus Prionostemma in the
 pre-montane forest in SW Costa Rica. We also conducted an experiment in
 which we induced leg loss in different conditions, marked the animals, and
 surveyed the field site throughout time, to locate the animals and test if
 leg loss affected survival and/or habitat use.

title: Prevalence and correlates of overweight and obesity among adolescents in northeastern China: a cross-sectional study

description: Abstract Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of overweight/obesity
 among adolescents and to evaluate the associated factors in this group in
 Changchun City, northeastern China. Methods: A cross-sectional study of
 1955 adolescents aged 11–18 years was conducted in Changchun City, using
 stratified cluster sampling. Parents and caregivers of children completed
 the questionnaires as requested without objection; the questionnaire
 included demographic characteristics and anthropometric parameters.
 Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to
 analyze the relationship between overweight /obesity and related factors.
 Results: In total, the prevalence of overweight was 12.7% (male 17.4%;
 female 10.1%), and the prevalence of obesity was 4.9% (male 8.8%; female
 3.1%) in Changchun, Jilin Province. The prevalence of overweight and
 obesity was higher in males than that in females (P &lt;0.001).
 Multivariate logistic regression showed that overweight and obesity were
 significantly associated with male sex (OR=1.91, 95% CI: 1.48-2.47),
 eating fresh fruits more than two days per week (OR=1.41, 95% CI:
 1.09-1.84), eating quickly (OR=1.37, 95% CI: 1.06-1.78). The students who
 were not picky (OR=0.69, 95% CI: 0.53-0.90) were less likely to be
 overweight. And adolescents whose father were overweight or obese
 (OR=0.67, 95% CI: 0.52-0.86) or mother were overweight or obese (OR=0.72,
 95% CI: 0.52-0.99) were less likely to be overweight. Conclusion: The
 prevalence of overweight and obesity among adolescents in Changchun was
 high in recent years. The prevalence of overweight and obesity among males
 was higher than that among females. Sex, dietary habits (weekly frequency
 of fruit consumption, picky eating and slowness in eating) and parental
 weight were important factors for overweight and obesity in adolescents.
 Further research should be conducted on the health of adolescents in China
 and further intervention measures should be implemented to reduce the
 prevalence of overweight/obesity.

title: Data and code for: Dietzel et al. Long-term shifts in the colony size structure of coral populations along the Great Barrier Reef

description: The age or size structure of a population has a marked influence on its
 demography and reproductive capacity. While declines in coral cover are
 well documented, concomitant shifts in the size frequency distribution of
 coral colonies are rarely measured at large spatial scales. Here we
 document major shifts in the colony size structure of coral populations
 along the 2,300km length of the Great Barrier Reef over the past two
 decades. Coral colony abundances on reef crests and slopes have declined
 sharply across all colony size classes and in all coral taxa compared to
 historical baselines. Declines were particularly pronounced in the
 Northern and Central regions of the Great Barrier Reef, following mass
 coral bleaching in 2016 and 2017. The relative abundances of large
 colonies remained relatively stable, but this apparent stability masks
 steep declines in absolute abundance. The potential for recovery of older
 fecund corals is uncertain given the increasing frequency and intensity of
 disturbance events. The systematic decline in smaller colonies across
 regions, habitats and taxa, suggests that a decline in recruitment has
 further eroded the recovery potential and resilience of coral populations.
description: All coral abundance data were collected using line-intercept
 transects with a hierarchical sampling design. 12 major coral taxa were
 distinguished Using intercept lengths as proxy of
 colony size, long-term changes in size-class abundances and shifts in
 colony size structure were assessed on reef crests and reef slopes along
 the Great Barrier Reef. Further information about
 sampling design and statistical analyses can be obtained from the
 corresponding publication.
description: The R project file "Colony_Size_Structure.Rproj" sets
 the working directory. All R scripts are stored in
 subfolder "R", all data in subfolder "data".
 The file "Change_absolute.R" executes the analysis of
 changes in size-class abundances. The file
 "Change_relative.R" executes the analysis of shifts in the mean,
 standard deviation, 10th and 90th percentile of colony size.
