title: Speed trajectory data from adaptive eco-driving applications

description: The eco-approach and departure (EAD) application for signalized
 intersections has been proved to be environmentally efficient in a
 Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) system. In the real-world traffic,
 the traffic-related information received from sensing or communication
 devices is highly uncertain due to the limited sensing range and varying
 driving behaviors of other vehicles. This uncertainty increases the
 difficulty to predict the actual queue length of the downstream
 intersection. It further brings great challenge to derive an energy
 efficient speed profile for vehicles to follow. This research
 proposes an adaptive strategy for connected eco-driving towards a
 signalized intersection under real world conditions including uncertain
 traffic condition. A graph-based model is created with nodes representing
 dynamic states of the host vehicle (distance to intersection and current
 speed) and indicator of queue status and directed edges with weight
 representing expected energy consumption between two connected states.
 Then a dynamic programing approach is applied to identify the optimal
 speed for each vehicle-queue-signal state iteratively from downstream to
 the upstream. The uncertainty can be addressed by formulating stochastic
 models when describing the transition of queue-signal state. For uncertain
 traffic conditions, numerical simulation results show an average energy
 saving of 9%. It also indicates that energy consumption of a vehicle
 equipped with adaptive EAD strategy and a 100m-range sensor is equivalent
 to a vehicle with conventional EAD strategy and a 190m-range sensor. To
 some extent, the proposed strategy could double the effective detection
 range in eco-driving.
description: The trajectory data was collected from numerical simulation using
 three types of methods including the proposed method in this research, the
 ideal method and other baseline EAD
 methods.  The proposed method corresponds
 to the adaptive strategy for connected eco-driving with known
 historical queue distribution. The ideal trajectory for
 absolute minimum energy consumption can be derived when the actual queue
 length is known (i.e. perfect information) at the beginning of the
 simulation. This strategy can only be achieved if all vehicles are
 connected to share their positions to the study vehicle.  Besides the
 ideal method, couple of baseline EAD methods
 (Baseline<sub>k</sub>) are setup for comparison: Assuming the
 queue length to be <i>Q<sub>k</sub></i>, the
 vehicle first follows the ideal trajectory of the assumed
 <i>Q<sub>k</sub></i> length, then change to the
 corresponding strategy after detecting the real queue length. These
 baselines are the methods given the same information as the proposed
 method except the historical queue distribution is missing. Note that if
 <i>k</i> is 0, Baseline0 corresponds to the scenario when the
 vehicle follows the existing EAD strategy with no-queue assumption until
 the sensor detects preceding traffic.

title: Identification of a genetic network for an ecologically relevant behavioral phenotype in Drosophila melanogaster

description: Pupation site choice of Drosophila third-instar larvae is critical for the
 survival of individuals, as pupae are exposed to various biotic and
 abiotic dangers while immobilized during the 3-4 days of metamorphosis.
 This singular behavioural choice is sensitive to both environmental and
 genetic factors. Here we developed a high-throughput phenotyping approach
 to assay the variation in pupation height in Drosophila melanogaster,
 while controlling for possibly confounding factors. We find substantial
 variation of mean pupation height among sampled natural stocks and we show
 that the Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP) captures this
 variation. Using the DGRP stocks for genome wide association
 (GWA) mapping, 16 loci involved in determining pupation height
 could be resolved. The candidate genes in these loci are enriched for high
 expression in the larval central nervous system. A genetic network could
 be constructed from the candidate loci, which places scrib at the centre,
 plus other genes known to be involved in nervous system development, such
 as Egfr and p53. Using gene disruption lines, we could functionally
 validate several of the initially identified loci, as well as additional
 loci predicted from network analysis. Our study shows that the
 combination of high throughput phenotyping with a genetic analysis of
 variation captured from the wild can be used to approach the genetic
 dissection of an environmentally relevant behavioural phenotype.

title: Relationships among wood-boring beetles, fungal endophytes and saprotrophs, and the decomposition of forest biomass.

description: A prevailing paradigm in forest ecology is that wood-boring beetles
 facilitate wood decay and carbon cycling, but empirical tests have yielded
 mixed results. We experimentally determined the effects of wood borers on
 fungal community assembly and wood decay within pine trunks in the
 southeastern United States. Pine trunks were made either beetle-accessible
 or inaccessible. Fungal communities were compared using culturing and
 high-throughput meta-barcode sequencing of DNA and RNA. Prior to beetle
 infestation, living pines had diverse fungal endophyte communities.
 Endophytes were displaced by beetle-associated fungi in beetle-accessible
 trees, whereas some endophytes persisted as saprotrophs in beetle-excluded
 trees. Beetles increased fungal diversity several fold. Over forty taxa of
 Ascomycota were significantly associated with beetles, but beetles were
 not consistently associated with any known wood-decaying fungi. Instead,
 increasing ambrosia beetle infestations caused reduced decay, consistent
 with previous in vitro experiments that showed beetle-associated fungi
 reduce decay rates by competing with decay fungi. No effect of
 bark-inhabiting beetles on decay was detected. Platypodines carried
 significantly more fungal taxa than scolytines. Molecular results were
 validated by synthetic and biological mock communities and were consistent
 across methodologies. RNA sequencing confirmed that beetle-associated
 fungi were biologically active in the wood. Meta-barcode sequencing of the
 LSU/28S marker recovered important fungal symbionts that were missed by
 ITS2, though community-level effects were similar between markers. In
 contrast to the current forest ecology paradigm, our results indicate
 ambrosia beetles introduce diverse fungal communities that do not
 extensively decay wood, but instead reduce decay by competing with wood
 decay fungi.

description: Objectives To investigate nursing and medical students’ readiness for
 interprofessional learning before and after implementing geriatric
 Interprofessional education (IPE), based on interactive case scenarios
 Problem Based Learning (PBL). To determine optimal number of geriatric IPE
 sessions, the size and the ratio of participants in the learner groups,
 the outcomes related to the Kirkpatrick four-level typology of learning
 evaluation, students’ concerns about joint learning, perception of roles
 of the “other” profession and students choice of topic. The strength: •
 This is a novel evidence regarding good practice for geriatric
 undergraduate Interprofessional education derived from a large unselected
 (inclusive) cohort of medical and nursing students • A controlled
 before-after study, with students randomly assigned to the intervention

title: Reduced sexual size dimorphism in a pipefish population where males do not prefer larger females

description: Within a species’ distribution, populations are often exposed to diverse
 environments and may thus experience different sources of both natural and
 sexual selection. These differences are likely to impact the balance
 between costs and benefits to individuals seeking reproduction, thus
 entailing evolutionary repercussions. Here, we look into an unusual
 population (Baltic Sea) of the broadnosed pipefish, Syngnathus typhle,
 where males do not seem to select females based on size and hypothesise
 that this pattern may derive from a reduction of direct benefits to the
 male. We further hypothesise that if larger females do not persistently
 secure a higher reproductive success, either through pre- or
 post-copulatory sexual selection, a decrease in sexual size dimorphism in
 the Baltic population should be apparent, especially when contrasted with
 a well-studied population, inhabiting similar latitudes (Swedish west
 coast), where males prefer larger females. We found that, in the Baltic
 population, variation in female quality is low. We were unable to find
 differences in abortion rates or protein concentration in oocytes produced
 by females of contrasting sizes. Direct benefits from mating with large
 partners seem, thus, reduced in the Baltic population. We also found no
 evidence of any post-copulatory mechanism that could favour larger mothers
 as embryo development was unrelated to female size. While female size can
 still be selected through intrasexual competition or fecundity selection,
 the pressure for large female body size seems to be lower in the Baltic.
 Accordingly, we found a noticeable decrease in sexual size dimorphism in
 the Baltic population. We conclude that, although far from negating the
 significance of other selective process, sexual selection seems to have a
 decisive role in supporting pipefish sexual size asymmetries.

title: Supplementary information for: Deterministic assembly of arrays of lithographically defined WS_2 and MoS_2 monolayer features directly from multilayer sources into van der Waals heterostructures

description: One of the major challenges in the van der Waals (vdW) integration of 2D
 materials is achieving high-yield and high-throughput assembly of
 pre-defined sequences of monolayers into heterostructure arrays.
 Mechanical exfoliation has recently been studied as a promising technique
 to transfer monolayers from a multilayer source synthesized by other
 techniques, allowing the deposition of a wide variety of 2D materials
 without exposing the target substrate to harsh synthesis conditions.
 Although a variety of processes have been developed to exfoliate the 2D
 materials mechanically from the source and place them deterministically
 onto a target substrate, they can typically transfer only either a
 wafer-scale blanket or one small flake at a time with uncontrolled size
 and shape. Here we present a method to assemble arrays of lithographically
 defined monolayer WS2 and MoS2 features from multilayer sources and
 directly transfer them in a deterministic manner onto target substrates.
 This exfoliate–align–release process—without the need of an intermediate
 carrier substrate—is enabled by combining a patterned, gold-mediated
 exfoliation technique with a new optically transparent, heat-releasable
 adhesive. WS2/MoS2 vdW heterostructure arrays produced by this method show
 the expected interlayer exciton between the monolayers. Light-emitting
 devices using WS2 monolayers were also demonstrated, proving the
 functionality of the fabricated materials. Our work demonstrates a
 significant step towards developing mechanical exfoliation as a scalable
 dry transfer technique for the manufacturing of functional, atomically
 thin materials.

title: Larger body size and earlier run timing increase alewife reproductive success in a whole lake experiment

description: Environmental conditions can influence biological characteristics, such as
 phenology and body size, with important consequences for organismal
 fitness. Examining these fitness consequences under natural conditions
 through genetic pedigree reconstruction offers a lens into potential
 population responses to changing environments. Over 3 years (2013–2015),
 we introduced adult alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus), anadromous,
 iteroparous clupeids, into one Massachusetts (USA) lake to complete the
 first detailed examination of this species’ mating system and assess
 relationships among body size, reproductive timing, and seasonal
 reproductive success. We reconstructed pedigrees using 15 microsatellites
 and genotypes from all possible parents and samples of naturally produced
 offspring within 4 months of hatching. In each of the 3 study years,
 spawning adults had multiple mates and spawned multiple times. Larger
 females that arrived and were translocated earlier had higher reproductive
 success. Declining body size and altered migration timing, through an
 influence on reproductive success, can influence population vital rates
 and productivity over time.
description: We are sharing the microsatellite data for our river herring
 adult and juvenile samples collected between 2013 and 2015. The
 microsatellite data were used to complete parentage analyses of fish
 stocked in a spawning pond in Eastern Massachusetts. These data are simply
 the microsatellites markers. We later estimated reproductive success using
 parentage assignments based on pedigree analyses with CERVUS version 3.0
 (Marshall et al. 1998; Kalinowski et al.
 2007). 
description: These data may include missing values where microsatellites were
 undetectable or the sample was contaminated.

title: Occupancy patterns of the introduced, predatory sugar glider in Tasmanian forests

description: Introduced mammals pose serious threats to native island fauna, and
 understanding their distributionis fundamental to evaluating their
 conservation impact. Introduced sugar gliders (Petaurus breviceps) are the
 mainpredator of critically endangered swift parrots (Lathamus discolor) on
 mainland Tasmania. We surveyed sugar gli-der occurrence over~800 km2in an
 important swift parrot breeding area, the Southern Forests. During 4–5
 vis-its per site, we used call broadcast of predatory owls to elicit sugar
 glider alarm calls and surveyed 100 sitesduring February/March 2016.
 Na€ıve occupancy by sugar gliders was high (0.79), as was
 detectability(0.520.03 SE), resulting in a cumulative detection
 probability of effectively 1. Occupancy modelling indicateda positive
 effect of the proportion of mature forest cover on occupancy. The best
 model, based on AIC scores,included the proportion of mature forest cover
 within a 500 m radius with constant detectability. Our studyrevealed
 surprisingly high rates of occupancy of available forest habitat
 throughout the heavily logged study area,such that even when mature forest
 cover was&lt;10%, sugar glider occupancy was&gt;0.5; where forest
 coverapproached 100% (i.e. in the best quality breeding habitat for swift
 parrots), occupancy by sugar glidersapproached 1. Our results reveal that
 sugar gliders are widespread across the study area which may be
 indicativeof occupancy rates elsewhere in the breeding range of the
 critically endangered swift parrot. As a result, the riskof predation by
 sugar gliders for small birds may be widespread across logged Tasmanian
 forests. Additionalwork to identify whether population densities of sugar
 gliders vary with forest cover (and whether this mayimpact predation
 likelihood) is critical to understanding the conservation consequences of
 deforestation in thebreeding range of the swift parrot.

title: Comparative skeletal anatomy of neonatal ursids and the extreme altriciality of the giant panda

description: Vertebrate neonates are born with a wide range of maturity at birth.
 Altricial newborns are born with limited sensory agency and require
 significant parental care, while precocial neonates are relatively mature
 physically and often capable of independent function. In extant mammals,
 placental newborns span this range, while marsupials and monotremes are
 all extremely altricial at birth. Bears (family Ursidae) have one of the
 lowest neonatal-maternal mass ratios in placental mammals and are
 considered to have the most altricial newborns among placentals. In
 particular, giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) appear exceptionally
 altricial. Here we use μCT scanning to visualize and compare the neonatal
 skeletal maturity of ursids relative to other caniform outgroups. Most
 bear neonates resemble neonates of caniform outgroups in level of
 ossification; however, perinatal giant pandas have skeletal maturity more
 similar to that of fetal dogs. No bear exhibits any skeletal
 heterochronies seen in marsupial newborns.

title: Insights into the genetic architecture of sexual dimorphism from an interspecific cross between two diverging Silene (Caryophyllaceae) species

description: The evolution of sexual dimorphism in species with separate sexes is
 influenced by the resolution of sexual conflicts creating sex differences
 through genetic linkage or sex-biased expression. Plants with different
 degrees of sexual dimorphism are thus ideal to study the genetic basis of
 sexual dimorphism. In this study we explore the genetic architecture of
 sexual dimorphism between Silene latifolia and S. dioica. These species
 have chromosomal sex determination and differ in the extent of sexual
 dimorphism. To test whether QTL for sexually dimorphic traits have
 accumulated on the sex chromosomes and to quantify their contribution to
 species differences, we create a linkage map and performed QTL analysis of
 life history, flower and vegetative traits using an unidirectional
 interspecific F2 hybrid cross. We found support for an accumulation of QTL
 on the sex chromosomes and that sex differences explained a large
 proportion of the variance between species, suggesting that both natural
 and sexual selection contributed to species divergence. Sexually dimorphic
 traits that also differed between species displayed transgressive
 segregation. We observed a reversal in sexual dimorphism in the F2
 population, where males tended to be larger than females, indicating that
 sexual dimorphism is constrained within populations but not in recombinant
 hybrids. This study contributes to the understanding of the genetic basis
 of sexual dimorphism and its evolution in Silene.

title: Data from: Scale-dependent intraspecific competition of Taurus cedar (Cedrus libani A. Rich.) saplings in the Southern Turkey

description: Better understanding of the competitive interaction at the early
 development stages of the stand is crucial to help schedule silvicultural
 treatments for young stands and for the better management of the future
 stands. We used scale-dependent analysis to improve our understanding of
 sapling dynamics in the pure Taurus cedar (Cedrus libani A. Rich.) stands
 in Southern Turkey. Using data from nine plots established at the western
 Taurus Mountains; diameter, height and crown radii of saplings were
 compared, and spatial point pattern analyses were performed. We found
 significant differences for the mean diameter and height, and crown radii
 of saplings among the plots. Univariate pair correlation function showed
 that sapling pattern was regular only at small scales (r &lt; 0.4 m)
 but was predominantly random. Bivariate pair correlation function revealed
 no evidence of spatial interaction between tall saplings and short
 saplings. Univariate mark correlation function revealed that strong
 intraspecific competition was detected at small scales (up to 0.55m). This
 distance is reasonable for the juvenile age tending of Taurus cedar
 saplings and should be under consideration during silvicultural treatments
 to use the site productivity more efficiently.

title: Contrasting effects of land-use changes on herbivory and pollination networks

description: Land-use changes, one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity, can
 cause under-appreciated effects on ecosystems by altering the structures
 of interspecific interaction networks. These effects have typically been
 explored by evaluating interaction networks composed of a single type of
 interaction. Therefore, it remains unclear whether the different types of
 interaction networks sharing the same species respond to the same land-use
 changes in a similar manner. To compare the responses of herbivory and
 pollination networks to land-use changes, we investigated both types of
 interaction networks in semi-natural grasslands categorized into three
 types of agricultural land-use (abandoned, extensively managed, and
 intensively managed) in a Japanese agricultural landscape. We quantified
 the structures of the interaction networks using several indices
 (connectance, evenness, diversity, generality, network specialization, and
 robustness) and compared them among different land-use types. We conducted
 piecewise SEM to differentiate the direct and indirect effects of land-use
 changes on the network structures. Although both land-use changes
 (abandonment and intensification) led to reduced plant and insect species
 richness, the structures of herbivory and pollination networks showed
 different responses to the land-use changes. There was a marked contrast
 in network generality; while herbivore species were less generalized (i.e.
 having fewer host plant species) in fields with land-use intensification,
 pollinator species were less generalized in abandoned fields. Furthermore,
 the mechanisms behind the changes in interaction networks were also
 different between pollination and herbivory networks. The change in
 herbivory network generality was induced by the decrease in plant species
 richness, whereas the change in pollination network generality was mainly
 induced by the effect independent of changes in species richness and
 composition, which possibly reflect the less number of flowers in shaded
 environment. The present study demonstrates that agricultural land-use
 changes affect herbivory and pollination networks in contrasting ways and
 suggests the importance of assessing multiple types of interaction
 networks for biodiversity conservation in plant–insect systems. Our
 results also highlight the under-appreciated importance of maintaining
 habitats with an intermediate intensity of land-use.
