title: The post-embryonic ontogeny of the early Cambrian trilobite Estaingia bilobata from South Australia: trunk development and phylogenetic implications

description: Trilobites are one of the most diverse and abundant fossil groups from the
 early Palaeozoic, and as such are useful for answering important questions
 about early animal evolution, including developmental processes.
 Ontogenetic information for a large number of trilobite species has been
 published, but cases where multiple articulated specimens are known across
 the full range of developmental stages are rare. The early Cambrian
 (Series 2, Stage 4) Emu Bay Shale biota from Kangaroo Island (South
 Australia) is numerically dominated by trilobites, particularly
 articulated specimens of the ellipsocephaloid Estaingia bilobata, which
 are present in densities of &gt;600 individuals per square metre on
 certain bedding planes. Here we describe the essentially complete
 post-embryonic ontogenetic series of E. bilobata from the Emu Bay Shale,
 and investigate patterns of growth relating to articulation and
 segmentation in this early Cambrian arthropod. Estaingia bilobata exhibits
 the hypoprotomeric mode of growth, with the epimorphic phase (the
 cessation of trunk segment generation) reached prior to the onset of the
 holaspid period. The meraspid pygidium had an extended equilibrium period
 where anterior segment release into the thorax was matched by sub-terminal
 segment generation. Previously undocumented morphological features of E.
 bilobata, including the hypostome and bispinose pleural tips in
 holaspides, are also described. The growth characteristics and
 morphological features of E. bilobata documented herein strengthen close
 phylogenetic relationships between the Estaingiidae, Ellipsocephalidae and
 Xystriduridae.

 South Australia. It also contains calculations of average per moult growth
 rates (AGR) referred to in the paper.

title: Genetic structure in the nonbreeding range of rufa Red Knots suggests distinct Arctic breeding populations

description: An understanding of the migratory connectivity between breeding and
 nonbreeding areas is fundamental to the management of long-distance
 migrants under pressure from habitat change along their flyways. Here we
 describe evidence for genetic structure within the nonbreeding range of
 the endangered Arctic-Canadian rufa subspecies of Red Knots (Calidris
 canutus). Using blood and tissue samples from the major nonbreeding
 regions in Argentina (Tierra del Fuego and Río Negro), northern Brazil
 (Maranhão), and southeastern USA (Florida), we estimated genetic structure
 in 514 amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) loci, applying
 cluster assignment analyses in DAPC, assignPOP, and STRUCTURE. Using a
 priori location information, individuals could be correctly re-assigned to
 their nonbreeding regions, which validated that the assignment accuracy of
 the data was sufficient. Without using a priori location information, we
 detected 3–5 genotype clusters, and posterior assignment probabilities of
 samples to these genotype clusters varied among the three regions. Lastly
 a chi-square test confirmed that allele frequencies varied significantly
 among nonbreeding regions, rejecting the hypothesis that samples were
 drawn from a single gene pool. Our findings hint at undescribed structure
 within the Red Knot rufa breeding range in the Canadian Arctic and
 indicate that each rufa nonbreeding area in this study hosts a different
 subsample of these breeding populations. The observation that nonbreeding
 sites of rufa Red Knots contain different genetic pools argues for
 separate conservation management of these sites.
description: Samples in Argentina, N Brazil and SE USA were collected over
 various years and sites which allows to control for batch effects. Samples
 were collected during the boreal winter, except for Río Negro, Argentina,
 which only hosts birds during the migratory season.To understand the
 relative scale of potential differences and to ensure our sample
 collection contained <em>rufa</em> only, the subspecies
 <em>C. c. roselaari</em> was included. For this subspecies,
 samples were included from a stopover area in NW USA (Alaska) and from a
 non-breeding area in Mexico. For this study we apply a
 few hundred AFLP markers aquired by standard lab procedures as described
 in the paper. The data was analysed with population
 genetics software packages, as described in the paper.

title: Data from: Phylogenetic conservatism and biogeographic affinity influence woody plant species richness-climate relationships in eastern Eurasia

description: Mechanisms underlying species richness patterns remain a central yet
 controversial issue in biology. Climate has been regarded as a major
 determinant of species richness. However, the relative influences of
 different evolutionary processes, (i.e. niche conservatism,
 diversification rate, and time for speciation) on species richness-climate
 relationships remain to be tested. Here, using newly compiled distribution
 maps for 11,422 woody plant species in eastern Eurasia, we estimated
 species richness patterns for all species and for families with tropical
 and temperate affinities separately, and explored the phylogenetic signals
 in species richness patterns of different families and their relationships
 with contemporary climate and climate change since the Last Glacial
 Maximum (LGM). We further compared the effects of niche conservatism
 (represented by contemporary-ancestral climate niches differences),
 diversification rate and time for speciation (represented by family age)
 on variation in the slopes of species richness-climate relationships. We
 found that winter coldness was the best predictor for species richness
 patterns of most tropical families while Quaternary climate change was the
 best predictor for those of most temperate families. Species richness
 patterns of closely-related families were more similar than those of
 distantly-related families within eudicots, and significant phylogenetic
 signals characterized the slopes of species richness-climate relationships
 across all angiosperm families. Contemporary-ancestral climate niche
 differences dominated variation in the relationships between family-level
 species richness and most climate variables. Our results indicate
 significant phylogenetic conservatism in family-level species richness
 patterns and their relationships with contemporary climate within
 eudicots. These findings shed light on the mechanisms underlying
 large-scale species richness patterns and suggest that ancestral climatic
 niche may influence the evolution of species richness-climate
 relationships in plants through niche conservatism.

title: Data from: VolcanoFinder: genomic scans for adaptive introgression

description: Recent research shows that introgression between closely-related species
 is an important source of adaptive alleles for a wide range of taxa.
 Typically, detection of adaptive introgression from genomic data relies on
 comparative analyses that require sequence data from both the recipient
 and the donor species. However, in many cases, the donor is unknown or the
 data is not currently available. Here, we introduce a genome-scan
 method---VolcanoFinder---to detect recent events of adaptive introgression
 using polymorphism data from the recipient species only. VolcanoFinder
 detects adaptive introgression sweeps from the pattern of excess
 intermediate-frequency polymorphism they produce in the flanking region of
 the genome, a pattern which appears as a volcano-shape in pairwise genetic
 diversity. Using coalescent theory, we derive analytical predictions for
 these patterns. Based on these results, we develop a composite-likelihood
 test to detect signatures of adaptive introgression relative to the
 genomic background. Simulation results show that VolcanoFinder has high
 statistical power to detect these signatures, even for older sweeps and
 for soft sweeps initiated by multiple migrant haplotypes. Finally, we
 implement VolcanoFinder to detect archaic introgression in European and
 sub-Saharan African human populations, and uncovered interesting
 candidates in both populations, such as TSHR in Europeans and TCHH-RPTN in
 Africans. We discuss their biological implications and provide guidelines
 for identifying and circumventing artifactual signals during empirical
 applications of VolcanoFinder.

title: Supplemental material from: ESR1 mutations associated with EIS change conformation of ligand receptor complex and alter transcriptome profile

description: Estrogen insensitivity syndrome (EIS) arises from rare mutations in
 estrogen receptor α (ERα, encoded by ESR1 gene) resulting in the inability
 of estrogen to exert its biological effects. Due to the rarity, mutations
 in ESR1 gene and the underlying molecular mechanisms of EIS have not been
 thoroughly studied. Here, we investigate known ESR1 mutants, Q375H and
 R394H, associated with EIS patients using in vitro and in vivo systems.
 Comparison of the transcriptome and DNA methylome from stable cell lines
 of both Q375H and R394H clinical mutants show a differential profile
 compared to WT ERα resulting in loss of estrogen-responsiveness. Molecular
 dynamic simulation shows that both ESR1 mutations change the ERα
 conformation of the ligand receptor complexes. Furthermore, we generated a
 mouse model Esr1-Q, harboring the human mutation using CRISPR/Cas9 genome
 editing. Female and male Esr1-Q mice are infertile and have similar
 phenotypes to αERKO mice. Overall phenotypes of the Esr1-Q mice correspond
 to those observed in the Q375H patient. Finally, we explore the effects of
 a synthetic progestogen and a GnRH inhibitor in the Esr1-Q mice for
 potentially reversing the impaired female reproductive tract function.
 These findings provide an important basis for understanding the molecular
 mechanistic consequences associated with EIS.

title: A novel pattern of germ cell divisions in the production of Hymenopteran insect eggs

description: Egg development is a defining process of reproduction in higher
 eukaryotes. In the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, this process begins
 with four mitotic divisions starting from a single germ cell, producing a
 cyst of 16 cystocytes; one of these cells will become the oocyte and the
 others supporting nurse cells. These mitotic divisions are exceptional
 because cytokinesis is incomplete, resulting in the formation of
 cytoplasmic bridges known as ring canals that interconnect the cystocytes.
 This organization allows all cystocytes to divide synchronously during
 each mitotic round, resulting in a final, power-of-2 number of germ cells.
 Given that numerous insects obey this power-of-2 rule, we investigated if
 strict cell doubling is a universal, underlying cause. Using confocal
 microscopy, we found striking departures from this paradigm in three
 different power-of-2 insects belonging to the Apocrita suborder (ants,
 bees and wasps). In these insects, the earliest-formed cystocytes cease to
 divide during the latter mitotic cycles while their descendants undergo
 further division, thereby producing an outward, or “radial,” direction of
 division activity. Broadly, our results suggest that the unique cystocyte
 division patterns that depart from strict cell doubling in some insects
 may be “fine-tuned” in order to maintain a final, power-of-2 germ cell
 number.

title: Contrasting responses of different functional groups stabilise community responses to a dominant shrub under global change

description: 1. Changes in precipitation regimes and nitrogen deposition levels due to
 global change are altering terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. Most attempts
 at understanding how biotic interactions affect plant species and
 community responses to global change have focused on biotic interactions
 measured at the community-level. However, these approaches ignore that
 communities include functionally dissimilar species that might respond
 differently to changes in the effects of dominant neighbours along
 environmental gradients. We test the hypothesis that plant species with
 differences in functional traits may exhibit contrasting interactions with
 a dominant shrub species within a single community, thereby stabilizing
 community-level responses to the effects of global change. 2. We
 manipulated water and nitrogen applications in a semi-arid dune community
 in northern China, quantified the biomass of herbaceous species occurring
 below the dominant shrub, Artemisia ordosica, and in adjacent open patches
 (without the shrub), and measured herbaceous species height and leaf dry
 matter content. The effects of A. ordosica were quantified at the species,
 group, and community levels using the relative interaction index (RII).
 Redundancy analysis was performed on species traits and the RII values to
 assess the relationships between functional differences in species and
 plant-plant interactions. Species were then grouped using a cluster
 analysis and the RII values were recalculated at the group level. 3. The
 redundancy analysis showed that species height and leaf dry matter content
 were significantly correlated to the changes in species’ responses to the
 effect of A. ordosica along treatments. The four groups of species
 identified by the cluster analysis showed contrasting variations in
 competitive or facilitative responses depending on species traits and
 environmental treatments. However, the interactions measured at the group
 level balanced the community-level responses, as we found no significant
 changes in the effects of A. ordosica along treatments for community
 biomass, richness, and functional diversity indices. 4. Synthesis. Our
 findings indicate that species with different functional strategies within
 a community exhibit contrasting responses to a dominant shrub along
 environmental gradients. These contrasting changes in plant-plant
 interactions of functionally different species may balance the responses
 of community-level metrics. This suggests that functional differences
 between species groups and the balance of plant-plant interactions
 stabilize community responses to global change.

title: Preparation of Polyacrylonitrile-based fibres with chelated Ag ions for antibacterial applications

description: The need for an excellent antibacterial material that is sufficiently
 powerful to never develop bacterial resistance is urgent. In this study, a
 series of novel polyacrylonitrile-based fibres with chelated Ag ions
 (referred to as Ag-SH-PANF) were prepared by a two-step chemical
 modification process: grafting and chelating. The properties of the
 as-prepared Ag-SH-PANF were characterised by Fourier-transform infrared
 (FT-IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction
 (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron
 spectroscopy (XPS). The antibacterial activities of Ag-SH-PANF were
 examined against pathogenic bacteria, and an antibacterial mechanism was
 explicated based on the release of Ag ions from the fibres’ surfaces. The
 results showed that, although chelation occurred between the Ag ions and
 the grafted amino and sulfhydryl groups, Ag-SH-PANF retained its fine
 microstructure and thermal stability. Moreover, Ag-SH-PANF displayed
 excellent antibacterial ability against pathogenic bacteria as well as
 good washing durability. In terms of the antibacterial mechanism, Ag ions
 are the main bactericidal agents in the role of catalysts, and are not
 consumed in the antibacterial process. Nonetheless, a relatively higher
 concentration of Ag ions can accelerate the bactericidal process.

title: Witnessed apneas are associated with elevated tau-PET levels in cognitively unimpaired elderly

description: Objective: To assess whether informant-reported apneas during sleep
 (witnessed apneas) in cognitively unimpaired (CU) elderly persons are
 associated with higher levels of brain tau. Methods: From the
 population-based Mayo Clinic Study of Aging, we identified 292 CU elderly
 aged &gt;=65 years with both AV-1451 tau-PET and PiB-PET scans and
 whose bed partners and close relatives had completed a questionnaire that
 assessed whether participants had witnessed apneas during sleep. For this
 cross-sectional analysis, we selected the entorhinal and inferior temporal
 cortices as our regions of interest (ROI), because they are highly
 susceptible to tau accumulation. PET signal was scaled to the cerebellum
 crus to calculate standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR). We fit linear
 models to assess the association between regional tau and witnessed
 apneas, while controlling for age, sex, years of education, body mass
 index, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, reduced sleep, excessive
 daytime sleepiness, and global PiB. Results: 43 participants (14.7%) were
 found to have witnessed apneas during sleep. The report of witnessed
 apneas was associated with higher tau-PET SUVR elevation in our
 ROIs:  0.049 SUVR (95%CI: 0.010 – 0.087, p=.015) in the
 entorhinal cortex and 0.037 SUVR (95% CI: 0.007 – 0.067, p=.019) in the
 inferior temporal cortex, after controlling for confounders. Conclusions:
 We identified a significant association between witnessed apneas in CU
 elderly and elevated tau-PET signal in tau-susceptible brain regions.
 These results suggest a plausible mechanism that could contribute to
 cognitive impairment and the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
 Longitudinal observations will be necessary to determine direction of
 causality.

title: Limited evidence of cloning and selfing within wild populations of coral-eating crown-of thorns seastar (Acanthaster cf. solaris)

description: Population outbreaks of crown-of-thorns seastars (CoTS; Acanthaster spp.)
 are contributing to extensive coral loss and reef degradation throughout
 the Indo west-Pacific, but the causes and underlying mechanisms of
 population maintenance and outbreaks are equivocal. Two recent
 publications suggest that, in addition to outbreeding sexual reproduction,
 asexual reproduction through larval fission and selfing may contribute to
 rapid increases in the local abundance of Acanthaster spp. We re-analysed
 two large microsatellite datasets (collectively representing 3,714
 individuals) that investigated connectivity in the Great Barrier Reef and
 Pacific region to investigate if potential cloning or selfing can be
 evidenced in the population genetic structure. Within this dataset we
 identified only a small number (18, &lt; 0.5%) of putative clones
 (repeated multi locus genotypes). We argue that several of these are due
 to sampling and processing errors rather than direct evidence of cloning.
 Analysis of the population genetic structure (i.e., pairwise genetic
 differences between individuals, deviations from
 Hardy-Weinberg-Equilibrium, and linkage disequilibrium) also yielded no
 genetic evidence for asexual reproduction. There was a tendency towards
 slight heterozygote deficits, so we cannot refute that selfing does occur,
 but this is mostly likely attributable to sampling artefacts. Although we
 cannot exclude that asexual reproduction occurs to some extent in
 Acanthaster populations, we find no evidence that these processes make
 a contribution to population structure or directly enhance larval
 supply.
