title: Drones, automatic counting tools and artificial neural networks in wildlife population censusing

description: 1. The use of a drone to count the flock sizes of 33 species of waterbirds
 during the breeding and non-breeding periods was investigated. 2. In 96%
 of 343 cases, drone counting was successful. 18.8% of non-breeding birds
 and 3.6% of breeding birds exhibited adverse reactions: the former birds
 were flushed, whereas the latter attempted to attack the drone. 3. The
 automatic counting of birds was best done with ImageJ/Fiji microbiology
 software – the average counting rate was 100 birds in 64 seconds. 4.
 Machine learning using neural network algorithms proved to be an effective
 and quick way of counting birds – 100 birds in 7 seconds. However, the
 preparation of images and machine learning time is time-consuming, so this
 method is recommended only for large data sets and large bird assemblages.
 5. The responsible study of wildlife using a drone should only be carried
 out by persons experienced in the biology and behaviour of the target
 animals.

title: R script used for: Telomeres in a spatial context: a tool for understanding ageing pattern variation in wild populations

description: Ageing refers to the loss of organismal functionality with age, a process
 that is characterised by decreased reproduction and survival probability.
 In natural populations, it is expected that environmental conditions
 influence an individual’s ageing trajectory. Understanding the role of
 environmental heterogeneity on ageing variation could provide
 criticleinsights into population resilience and species distribution but
 remains overlooked. Telomeres, the end cap of chromosomes, are a promising
 integrative physiological marker of an individual’s health and a possible
 proxy to aid the understanding of variation in ageing trajectories. Here,
 we review the existing information on telomere length and its dynamics in
 wild populations distributed across spatial scales. Despite a relative
 scarcity of information, there is evidence for divergence in telomere
 length between populations facing contrasting environments. Nonetheless, a
 higher spatial resolution and temporal replication is needed to fully
 understand the role that environmental conditions play on telomere length
 variation. Since most of the existing studies are correlational, future
 field and laboratory experiments are required. For the first time, we
 demonstrate the use of population telomere data to predict species habitat
 suitability through Species Distribution Models (SDMs). This represents a
 promising new research area in the study of ageing pattern variation in
 wild populations. Furthermore, the inclusion of telomere data in future
 physiological-SDMs may improve our understanding of species
 distribution and population resilience. However, the use of telomeres
 within this context could be limited if no previous knowledge on the
 relevance of telomeres as markers of health and survival at the species
 level is available. Finally, we suggest some key practical and theoretical
 considerations that, ideally, future studies combining biogeographic and
 telomere data should pay attention.

title: Disentangling responses to natural stressor and human impact gradients in river ecosystems across Europe

description: 1. Rivers are dynamic ecosystems in which both human impacts and
 climate-driven drying events are increasingly common. These anthropogenic
 and natural stressors interact to influence the biodiversity and
 functioning of river ecosystems. Disentangling ecological responses to
 these interacting stressors is necessary to guide management actions that
 support ecosystems adapting to global change. 2. We analysed the
 independent and interactive effects of human impacts and natural drying on
 aquatic invertebrate communities—a key biotic group used to assess the
 health of European freshwaters. We calculated biological response metrics
 representing communities from 406 rivers in eight European countries:
 taxonomic richness, functional richness and redundancy, and two
 biomonitoring indices that indicate ecological status. We analysed metrics
 based on the whole community and a group of taxa with traits promoting
 resistance and/or resilience (‘high RR’) to drying. We also examined how
 responses vary across Europe in relation to climatic aridity. 3. Most
 community metrics decreased independently in response to impacts and
 drying. A richness-independent biomonitoring index (the average score per
 taxon; ASPT) showed particular potential for use in biomonitoring, and
 should be considered alongside new metrics representing high RR diversity,
 to promote accurate assessment of ecological status. 4. High RR taxonomic
 richness responded only to impacts, not drying. However, these predictors
 explained little variance in richness and other high RR metrics,
 potentially due to low taxonomic richness. Metric responsiveness could
 thus be enhanced by developing region-specific high RR groups comprising
 sufficient taxa with sufficiently variable impact sensitivities to
 indicate ecological status. 5. Synthesis and applications. Our results
 inform recommendations guiding the development of metrics to assess the
 ecological status of dynamic river ecosystems—including those that
 sometimes dry—thus identifying priority sites requiring further
 investigation to identify the stressors responsible for environmental
 degradation. We recommend concurrent consideration of richness-independent
 biomonitoring indices (such as an ASPT) and new high RR richness metrics
 that characterize groups of resistant and resilient taxa for
 region-specific river types. Interactions observed between aridity,
 impacts and drying evidence that these new metrics should be adaptable,
 promoting their ability to inform management actions that protect river
 ecosystems responding to climate change.

title: Environmental filters of freshwater fish community assembly along elevation and latitudinal gradients

description: Aim The aim was to identify drivers of historical freshwater fish
 community assembly by testing for interactions between functional traits
 and two climatic gradients, namely elevation and latitude. Many studies
 conclude that environmental filtering is the dominant process of
 community-wide trait convergence at high elevations and high latitudes,
 but a full understanding of which specific filters cause trait convergence
 is lacking. Location Great Plains–Rocky Mountains, USA. Time period
 1960–2018. Major taxa studied Freshwater fish. Methods Using 2,539 stream
 fish community surveys documenting the native distributions of 51 species,
 we evaluated trait–environment relationships (trade-offs) and
 trait–dispersion relationships (standardized effect sizes from null
 models) along elevation and latitudinal gradients in four functional trait
 categories. We tested whether elevation and latitude exhibited similar
 trait–environment and trait–dispersion relationships using four functional
 trait categories (life history, habitat, trophic and locomotion). We
 predicted that elevation and latitude would have similar relationships
 owing to shared environmental filters of cold stress and dispersal
 constraints. Results Life history was the only trait category to display
 evidence of increased environmental filtering along both gradients, with
 trait dispersion more constrained at high elevations and high latitudes.
 Trade-offs revealed that periodic strategies (high fecundity, low juvenile
 survivorship) decreased with elevation and increased with latitude,
 whereas equilibrium strategies (low fecundity, high juvenile survivorship)
 declined along both gradients. Despite the observation of predictable
 trade-offs for habitat, trophic and locomotion trait strategies, there was
 little evidence for environmental filtering of these traits at high
 elevations and high latitudes. Main conclusions Elevation and latitude
 appear to be environmental filters of freshwater fish community assembly
 when mediated through life-history strategies, which is likely to be
 attributable to thermal constraints on growth and reproduction. Our
 results support the role of environmental filtering in trait convergence
 patterns along climatic gradients, and we identify cold stress as one
 specific filter of community assembly.

title: Gluten-free diet exposure prohibits pathobiont expansion and gluten sensitive enteropathy in B cell deficient mice

description: In humans, celiac disease (CeD) is a T-cell-driven gluten-sensitive
 enteropathy (GSE) localized to the small bowel (duodenum). The presence of
 antibodies specific for gluten- and self-antigens are commonly used
 diagnostic biomarkers of CeD and are considered to play a role in GSE
 pathogenesis. Previously, we have described an apparent T-cell-mediated
 GSE in CD19-/- mice, which develop weak and abnormal B cell responses.
 Here, we expand on this observation and use a mouse model of complete B
 cell deficiency (JH-/- mice), to show that absence of a humoral immune
 response also promotes development of a GSE. Furthermore, 16S analysis of
 microbial communities in the small intestine (SI) demonstrates that a
 gluten-free diet (GFD) suppresses the expansion of anaerobic bacteria in
 the SI and colonization of the SI by a specific pathobiont. Finally, we
 also observe that SI enteropathy in mice fed a gluten-rich diet (GRD) is
 positively correlated with the abundance of several microbial peptidase
 genes, which supports that bacterial metabolism of gluten may be an
 important driver of GSE in our model. Collectively, results from our
 experiments indicate that JH-/- mice will be a useful resource to
 investigators seeking to empirically delineate the contribution of humoral
 immunity on GSE pathogenesis, and support the hypothesis that humoral
 immunity promotes tolerance to gluten.

title: Flight activity and age cause wing damage in house flies

description: Wing damage attenuates aerial performance in many flying animals such as
 birds, bats and insects. Especially insect wings are fragile and light in
 order to reduce inertial power requirements for flight at elevated wing
 flapping frequencies. There is a continuing debate on the factors causing
 wing damage in insects including collisions with objects, mechanical
 stress during flight activity, and aging. This experimental study is
 engaged with the reasons and significance of wing damage for flight in the
 house fly Musca domestica. We determined natural wing area loss under two
 housing conditions and recorded flight activity and flight ability
 throughout the animals’ lifetime. Our data show that wing damage occurs on
 average after 6 h of flight, is sex-specific, and depends on housing
 conditions. Statistical tests show that both physiological age and flight
 activity have similar significance as predictors for wing damage. Tests on
 freely flying flies showed that minimum wing area for active flight is
 approximately 10-34% below the initial area and requires a left-right wing
 area asymmetry of less than approximately 25%. Our findings broadly
 confirm predictions from simple aerodynamic theory based on mean wing
 velocity and area, and are also consistent with previous wing damage
 measurements in other insect species.

title: Data for: Faster evolution of a premating reproductive barrier is not associated with faster speciation rates in New World passerine birds

description: Why are speciation rates so variable across the tree of life? One
 hypothesis is that this variation is explained by how rapidly reproductive
 barriers evolve. We tested this hypothesis by conducting a comparative
 study of the evolution of bird song, a premating barrier to reproduction.
 Speciation in birds is typically initiated when geographically isolated
 (allopatric) populations evolve reproductive barriers. We measured the
 strength of song as a premating barrier between closely related allopatric
 populations by conducting 2,339 field experiments to measure song
 discrimination for 175 taxon pairs of allopatric or parapatric New World
 passerine birds, and estimated recent speciation rates from a global
 molecular phylogeny of birds. Taxon pairs with high song discrimination in
 allopatry failed to regularly interbreed in parapatry, evidence that song
 discrimination is indeed an important reproductive barrier. However,
 evolutionary rates of song discrimination were not associated with recent
 speciation rates, and song discrimination evolves faster in suboscine
 passerines than their more species-rich sister clade, the oscines. Our
 findings support the long-held idea that song is a key premating
 reproductive barrier in birds, but show that faster evolution of this
 reproductive barrier between populations does not result in faster
 diversification betweeen species.

title: Data for: Kinship, dear enemies, and costly combat: The effects of relatedness on territorial overlap and aggression in a cooperative breeder

description: Many species maintain territories, but the degree of overlap between
 territories and the level of aggression displayed in territorial conflicts
 can vary widely, even within species. Greater territorial overlap may
 occur when neighbouring territory holders are close relatives. Animals may
 also differentiate neighbours from strangers, with more-familiar
 neighbours eliciting less-aggressive responses during territorial
 conflicts (the “dear enemy” effect). However, research is lacking on how
 both kinship and overlap affect territorial conflicts, especially in
 group-living species. Here we investigate kinship, territorial overlap,
 and territorial conflict in a habituated wild population of group-living
 cooperatively breeding birds, the southern pied babbler Turdoides bicolor.
 We find that close kin neighbours are beneficial. Territories overlap more
 when neighbouring groups are close kin, and these larger overlaps with kin
 confer larger territories (an effect not seen for overlaps with unrelated
 groups). Overall, territorial conflict is costly, causing significant
 decreases in body mass, but conflicts with kin are shorter than those
 conducted with non-kin. Conflicts with more-familiar unrelated neighbours
 are also shorter, indicating these neighbours are “dear enemies”. However,
 kinship modulates the “dear enemy” effect; even when kin are encountered
 less frequently, kin elicit less-aggressive responses, similar to the
 “dear enemy” effect.  Kin selection appears to be a main
 influence on territorial behaviour in this species. Groups derive
 kin-selected benefits from decreased conflicts and maintain larger
 territories when overlapping with kin, though not when overlapping with
 non-kin. More generally, it is possible that kinship extends the “dear
 enemy” effect in animal societies.

title: Deformation-rate distributed acoustic sensing: filtering and coupling considerations

description: Deformation-rate distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), made available by the
 unique designs of some interrogator units, can acquire seismic data that
 are equivalent to the along-fiber particle velocity motion recorded by
 geophones for scenarios involving (near-)elastic ground-fiber coupling.
 While near-elastic coupling is straightforward to achieve in cemented
 downhole installations, it is less clear how to do so in lower-cost
 horizontal fiber deployments. This investigation illustrates that
 near-elastic coupling can be achieved by installing and freezing in fiber
 in shallow backfilled trenches. Any existing residual unwanted signals can
 then be removed through 1D or our preferred 2D dip-velocity filtering
 approaches. The processed deformation-rate field records acquired at the
 surface and two different trenching depths show clear surface- and
 refracted-wave arrivals; however, the surface-deployed fiber records
 exhibit significant time-lapse amplitude variations corresponding variable
 ground-fiber coupling due to air-temperature fluctuations about 0ºC. These
 results indicate that ground freezing provides improved but more complex
 fiber coupling.
description: This dataset is a subset of a Deformation-rate Distributed
 Acoustic Sensing, recorded by using Terra15 Treble DAS interrogator unit.
 We deployed three parallel fiber segments of 120 m total length in a
 shallow trench in the frozen earth that was watered down and left to
 freeze in the ground overnight. Over the following day, we acquired repeat
 sledgehammer shots. The portion of the processed dataset used for the
 figures is contained in a separate zip file.

title: Impacts of a high fat diet on the metabolic profile and the phenotype of atrial myocardium in mice

description: Aims: Obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndromes are risk factors
 of atrial fibrillation (AF). We tested the hypothesis that metabolic
 disorders have a direct impact on the atria favoring the formation of the
 substrate of AF. Methods & Results: Untargeted
 metabolomic and lipidomic analysis was used to investigate the
 consequences of a prolonged high fat diet (HFD) on mouse atria. Atrial
 properties were characterized by measuring mitochondria respiration in
 saponin-permeabilized trabeculae, by recording action potential with glass
 microelectrodes in trabeculae and ionic currents in myocytes using the
 perforated configuration of patch clamp technique and by several
 immuno-histological and biochemical approaches. After 16 weeks of HFD,
 obesogenic mice showed a vulnerability to AF. The atrial myocardium
 acquired an adipogenic and inflammatory phenotypes. Metabolomic and
 lipidomic analysis revealed a profound transformation of atrial energy
 metabolism with a predominance of long-chain lipid accumulation and
 beta-oxidation activation in the obese mice. Mitochondria respiration
 showed an increased use of palmitoyl-CoA as energy substrate. Action
 potentials were short duration and sensitive to the K-ATPdependent channel
 inhibitor, whereas K-ATP current was enhanced in isolated atrial myocytes
 of obese mouse. Conclusion: HFD transforms energy metabolism,
 causes fat accumulation, and induces electrical remodeling of the atrial
 myocardium of mice that become vulnerable to AF. Translational
 perspective: Understanding the link between metabolic diseases
 and atrial fibrillation is of major importance. One hypothesis claims
 that, in addition to shared co-morbidities, metabolic disorders favor the
 substrate of atrial fibrillation. Here we show that after prolonged high
 fat diet, the atrial myocardium becomes adipogenic, inflamed and
 vulnerable to atrial fibrillation. This tissue remodeling appears to
 result from an unbalance between uptake and oxidation of fatty acid
 resulting in long-chain lipid storage, activation metabolic-sensitive
 potassium channel and action potential shortening. Therefore, diet appears
 to be an important link between metabolic disorders and atrial
 fibrillation.

title: Magellanic penguin's onland trajectory data

description: Understanding how animals move in dense environments where vision is
 compromised is a major challenge. We used GPS and dead-reckoning to
 examine the movement of Magellanic penguins commuting through vegetation
 that precluded long-distance vision. Birds leaving the nest followed the
 shortest, quickest route to the sea (the ‘ideal path’ [I-path]) but return
 tracks depended where the birds left the water. Penguins arriving at the
 beach departure spot mirrored the departure. Most of those landing at a
 distance from the departure spot travelled slowly, obliquely to the coast
 at a more acute angle than a beeline trajectory to the nest. On crossing
 their I-path, these birds then followed this route quickly to their nests.
 This movement strategy saves birds distance, time and energy compared to a
 route along the beach and the into the colony on the I-track and saves
 time and energy compared to a beeline trajectory which necessitates slow
 travel in unfamiliar areas. This suggests that some animals adopt tactics
 that take them to an area where their navigational capacities are enhanced
 for efficient travel in challenging environments.
