title: Argos and GPS data for a polar bear track

description: &lt;b&gt;Abstract&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is rare to be able to validate state-space models for Argos data. This dataset provides a unique opportunity to do so, because it contains simultaneous Argos and GPS data for a polar bear. The GPS locations are extremely accurate (≤30 m) compared to Argos data, which can have errors as large as 36 km depending on the quality class. The dataset contains one year of movement data, starting on April 20, 2009. The dataset was used in the associated Ecological Monographs paper to show how to fit state-space models to ecological data.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Leaf habit affects the distribution of drought sensitivity but not water transport efficiency in the tropics

description: &lt;b&gt;Abstract&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Considering the global intensification of aridity in tropical biomes due to climate change, we need to understand what shapes the distribution of drought sensitivity in tropical plants. We conducted a pantropical data synthesis representing 1117 species to test whether xylem-specific hydraulic conductivity (K&lt;sub&gt;S&lt;/sub&gt;), water potential at leaf turgor loss (Ψ&lt;sub&gt;TLP&lt;/sub&gt;), and water potential at 50% loss of K&lt;sub&gt;S&lt;/sub&gt; (ΨP50) varied along climate gradients. The Ψ&lt;sub&gt;TLP&lt;/sub&gt; and ΨP&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; increased with climatic moisture only for evergreen species, but K&lt;sub&gt;S&lt;/sub&gt; did not. Species with high Ψ&lt;sub&gt;TLP&lt;/sub&gt; and Ψ&lt;sub&gt;P50&lt;/sub&gt; values were associated with both dry and wet environments. However, drought-deciduous species showed high Ψ&lt;sub&gt;TLP&lt;/sub&gt; and ΨP&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values regardless of water availability whereas evergreen species only in wet environments. All three traits showed a weak phylogenetic signal and a short half-life. These results suggest that environmental controls on trait variance, which in turn is modulated by leaf habit along climatic moisture gradients in the tropics.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Low-salinity alters the bacterial community of sugar kelp, Saccharina latissima (Phaeophyceae)

description: &lt;p&gt;Abstract from matching publication at the Journal of Phycology: &lt;strong&gt;"Low-salinity alters the bacterial community of sugar kelp, Saccharina latissima (Phaeophyceae)"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As climate change progresses, the intensity and variability of freshwater outflow into the ocean is predicted to increase. The resulting increase in low-salinity events will be a source of stress for &lt;em&gt;Saccharina latissima&lt;/em&gt; (sugar kelp) and potentially Saccharina-associated bacteria. Bacteria influence host health and host-associated bacteria can facilitate or hinder host survival and acclimation to stressful abiotic conditions. Therefore, understanding how bacterial communities change under abiotic stress is critical to our understanding of how host physiology will be affected by abiotic stress. We investigated the effect of low-salinity stress on &lt;em&gt;Saccharina&lt;/em&gt;-associated bacteria and the host by surveying the bacterial community associated with Saccharina and the surrounding environment across naturally occurring salinity gradients during the spring freshet across two years at four field sites with contrasting salinity profiles around Vancouver, Canada (519 samples). These field samples were coupled with salinity manipulation experiments repeated eight times (269 samples). Overall, &lt;em&gt;Saccharina latissima&lt;/em&gt; harbors a stable core bacterial community, which decreases in relative abundance under abiotic stress. In the field, we find that both salinity and temperature shape the bacterial community, with temperature having higher explanatory power most of the time. In the lab, we confirm that the patterns observed in the field can be replicated by manipulating salinity alone. Decreased relative abundance of core bacteria and increased community dissimilarity in low-salinity in both the lab and field, suggest that host filtering is significantly impaired in low salinity. In the context of a stable host-associated core bacterial community during non-stressful conditions, the change in the community composition observed during conditions of abiotic stress indicates a stress response by the host.&lt;/p&gt;

We used Hidden Markov Models to characterize fine-scale behavior, and k-means clustering to group hunters by hunting mode, on the basis of their time spent in each behavioral state. Hunters exhibited three distinct and successful hunting modes (“coursing”, “stalking”, and “sit-and-wait”), with stalking as the most successful strategy. Across hunting modes, there was variation in patterns of selection for roads, topography, and habitat cover, with &lt;/span&gt;important&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt; differences in habitat use of successful and unsuccessful hunters across modes. Our study indicates that hunters can successfully employ a diversity of harvest strategies, and &lt;/span&gt;that&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt; hunting success &lt;/span&gt;is &lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;mediated by the &lt;/span&gt;interacting effects of&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt; hunting mod&lt;/span&gt;e and &lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;landscape features. Such results high&lt;/span&gt;light the breadth of human hunting modes, even within a single hunting technique, and lend insight into the varied ways that humans exert predation pressure on wildlife.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

title: Bioprospecting for improved floral fragrance in wild sunflowers

description: &lt;b&gt;Abstract&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cultivated sunflower (&lt;em&gt;Helianthus annuus&lt;/em&gt;) is not typically considered to have a pleasant floral fragrance. In field production, seed yield is often limited by pollination services, particularly in the production of hybrid seed. Improved floral fragrance, as determined by volatile organic compounds, maybe a route to improving pollinator attraction for oilseed and confectionary production and could also add value to ornamental sunflowers. Wild relatives of &lt;em&gt;H. annuus&lt;/em&gt; have a long history of being used to breed improved traits into cultivated varieties, yet it is unknown whether favorable scents are present in wild &lt;em&gt;Helianthus&lt;/em&gt; species and thus an available resource for fragrance breeding. To assess the diversity of floral fragrance available in crop wild relatives, 30 diverse accessions of wild Helianthus as well as seven varieties of &lt;em&gt;H. annuus&lt;/em&gt; spanning a domestication gradient were grown in greenhouse experiments and variation in floral volatiles was analyzed by solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. While alpha-pinene made up a significant portion of the volatiles emitted for most taxa, there was substantial diversity present across the genus as well as within &lt;em&gt;H. annuus&lt;/em&gt;. Most volatiles emitted were monoterpenoids with a significant share of sesquiterpenoids. The diversity identified here will inform further targeted study of which compounds affect pollinator attraction and health. Several wild accessions such as &lt;em&gt;H. debilis subsp&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;em&gt;tardiflorus&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;H. praecox subsp. praecox&lt;/em&gt; as well as open-pollinated domesticated accessions of &lt;em&gt;H. annuus&lt;/em&gt; show promise for breeding for improved floral fragrance due to high volatile abundance and likely favorable compound compositions.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Replication Data for: Redefining lameness assessment: Constructing lameness hierarchy using crowd-sourced data

description: Lameness causes pain to dairy cows and economic losses to farmers, but can be difficult to routinely monitor. Despite numerous attempts to develop automatic detection methods, few have been successfully applied on farms. The development of reliable automated methods is likely restricted by the lack of large, labeled training datasets that capture the diversity in lameness cases within and among farms. Additionally, conventional gait scoring methods employed for annotating training videos are subjective and unreliable, adding noise to training data and thus hindering model performance. We propose a novel approach to lameness assessment in dairy cows, leveraging crowd-sourced data to construct a lameness hierarchy. In this pilot study using 30 cow videos, we evaluated the reliability of traditional gait scoring systems revealing their subjective and inconsistent nature, with intra- and interobserver reliabilities of ICC (intraclass correlation coefficient)=0.62 ± 0.09 and 0.44 ± 0.02, respectively. Conversely, our proposed lameness hierarchy constructed from pairwise lameness assessments, achieved a high interobserver reliability (ICC = 0.81) among experienced assessors. We also demonstrated feasibility for the pairwise assessment to be executed by untrained assessors (in this case crowd workers recruited via Amazon MTurk), evidenced by high agreement between hierarchies generated by crowd workers and experienced assessors (ICC = 0.85). Utilizing a 5-milestone subsampling algorithm, we found that recruiting just 8 crowd workers per video pair is sufficient to construct a reliable lameness hierarchy. This method also decreases the number of pairwise comparisons by 61%, relative to evaluating all possible comparisons between every pair of cows. The proposed lameness hierarchy method facilitates quick and accurate labeling of lameness videos and enables a more granular evaluation of lameness. We suggest that this approach can be used to create large training datasets suitable for developing reliable automatic lameness detection models.

title: Efficient genomics based ‘end-to-end’ selective tree breeding framework

description: &lt;b&gt;Abstract&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since their initiation in the 1950s, worldwide selective tree breeding programs followed the recurrent selection scheme of repeated cycles of selection, breeding (mating), and testing phases and essentially remained unchanged to accelerate this process or address environmental contingences and concerns. Here, we introduce an “end-to-end” selective tree breeding framework that: 1) leverages strategically preselected GWAS-based sequence data capturing trait architecture information, 2) generates unprecedented resolution of genealogical relationships among tested individuals, and 3) leads to the elimination of the breeding phase through the utilization of readily available wind-pollinated (OP) families. Individuals’ breeding values generated from multi-trait multi-site analysis were also used in an optimum contribution selection protocol to effectively manage genetic gain/co-ancestry trade-offs and traits’ correlated response to selection. The proof-of-concept study involved a 40-year-old spruce OP testing population growing on three sites in British Columbia, Canada, clearly demonstrating our method's superiority in capturing most of the available genetic gains in a substantially reduced timeline relative to the traditional approach. The proposed framework is expected to increase the efficiency of existing selective breeding programs, accelerate the start of new programs for ecologically and environmentally important tree species, and address climate-change caused biotic and abiotic stress concerns more effectively.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Data from: Insects in the city: Determinants of a contained aquatic microecosystem across an urbanized landscape

description: &lt;b&gt;Abstract&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cities can have profound impacts on ecosystems, yet our understanding of these impacts is currently limited. First, the effects of socioeconomic dimensions of human society are often overlooked. Second, correlative analyses are common, limiting our causal understanding of mechanisms. Third, most research has focused on terrestrial systems, ignoring aquatic systems that also provide important ecosystem services. Here we compare the effects of human population density and low-income prevalence on the macroinvertebrate communities and ecosystem processes within water-filled artificial tree holes. We hypothesized that these human demographic variables would affect tree holes in different ways via changes in temperature, water nutrients, and the local tree hole environment. We recruited community scientists across Greater Vancouver (Canada) to provide host trees and tend 50 tree holes over 14 weeks of colonization. We quantified tree hole ecosystems in terms of aquatic invertebrates, litter decomposition, and chlorophyll-a. We compiled potential explanatory variables from field measurements, satellite images, or census databases. Using structural equation models, we showed that invertebrate abundance was affected by low-income prevalence but not human population density. This was driven by cosmopolitan species of Ceratopogonidae (Diptera) with known associations to anthropogenic containers. Invertebrate diversity and abundance were also affected by environmental factors, such as temperature, elevation, water nutrients, litter quantity, and exposure. By contrast, invertebrate biomass, chlorophyll-a, and litter decomposition were not affected by any measured variables. In summary, this study shows that some urban ecosystems can be largely unaffected by human population density. Our study also demonstrates the potential of using artificial tree holes as a standardized, replicated habitat for studying urbanization. Finally, by combining community science and urban ecology, we were able to involve our local community in this pandemic research pivot. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This abstract is quoted from the original article "Insects in the city: Determinants of a contained aquatic microecosystem across an urbanized landscape" in Ecology (2023) by DS Srivastava et al.&lt;/p&gt;

title: <b>Supplementary Materials: </b><b>The Effects of Feeding a Simulated Waste Milk on Growth, Health, Fecal Microbiota, and Antibiotic Resistance in Dairy Heifer Calves.</b>

description: Feeding waste milk, a common practice in dairy farming, exposes calves to sub-therapeutic levels of antimicrobials, potentially contributing to antibiotic resistance—a growing concern globally. Many dairy farmers, including those in Ireland, continue this practice, feeding waste milk from antibiotic-treated cows to calves. While previous studies have linked waste milk feeding to changes in calf growth and health during the pre-weaning period, its effects post-weaning remain unclear.This study examined how the duration of antimicrobial exposure at levels equivalent to those found in waste milk influences health and growth outcomes of dairy heifer calves both pre- and post-weaning. It also assessed the prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) resistant <i>Escherichia coli</i> in feces and changes in the fecal microbiota over time. To mimic waste milk, as derived from a cow treated with an intramammary suspension of antibiotics, a simulated waste milk (SWM) was prepared by adding amoxicillin (1.68 mg/L) and neomycin (2.28 mg/L) to a conventional milk replacer (MR).The study employed a randomized block design with 87 dairy heifer calves assigned to one of three treatments: (i) Long-term antibiotic (LTA), with calves fed SWM until weaning at 12 weeks; (ii) Short-term antibiotic (STA), with SWM fed from three to five weeks; and (iii) Control (CONT), with calves fed antibiotic-free MR. Calves were weighed weekly, and health scores, including fecal scores (tail and hindquarters cleanliness as diarrhea indicator), were recorded twice per week. Fecal and blood samples were collected to analyze microbiome changes, and the shedding of antimicrobial resistance, and. Blood samples were taken to measure systemic inflammation, using serum amyloid A as a biomarker.Results indicated that SWM feeding did not affect average daily gains pre- or post-weaning. However, higher fecal scores were observed in the LTA group during weaning and post-weaning in the STA group. Antibiotic-resistant isolates were present in all groups, with the highest prevalence in LTA. Fecal microbiota analysis revealed treatment-specific microbial community variations, with increased resistance genes in the bacteria <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> to macrolide, aminoglycoside, and tetracycline antibiotics in LTA and STA compared to CONT. In summary, SWM feeding did not significantly affect growth or overall health, it was associated with increased fecal shedding of resistant bacteria and some changes in the microbiota, indicating potential long-term implications for antimicrobial resistance in dairy herds.

title: Replication Data for: Effect of pre-session training on performance in a judgement bias test in dogs

description: Spatial judgement bias tests (JBTs) can involve teaching animals that a bowl provides a reward in one location but does not in another. The animal is then presented with the bowl placed between the rewarded and the unrewarded locations (i.e., ambiguous locations) and their latency to approach reflects expectation of reward or ‘optimism’. Some suggest that greater ‘optimism’ indicates better welfare. However, performance in JBTs may also indicate learning history independently from welfare determinants. We hypothesized that dogs’ ‘optimism’ in a follow-up JBT may be impacted by a learning treatment. Pet dogs (n=16) completed a JBT pre-treatment, a trial-based learning treatment, and a JBT post-treatment. During the JBT, dogs were presented with 5 locations: 1 rewarded, 1 unrewarded, and 3 ambiguous (all unrewarded). Dogs were randomly assigned to a trial-based learning task—a nose-touch to the palm of the hand. In Discrimination (n=8), the dog was presented with two hands in each trial, only rewarded for touching one specific hand. In Generalization (n=8), dogs were presented with one hand per trial in alternating sequence and were yoked to dogs in the Discrimination to receive the same number of rewarded and unrewarded trials (to control for possible frustration). Using a linear mixed model including dog identity as a random effect, we found no difference in the change in approach latency to the ambiguous locations between the dogs across treatments (P=0.97). ‘Optimism’ as measured in this JBT may not be sensitive to the type of training used in our study.
