title: Systematics of the New World bats Eptesicus and Histiotus suggest trans-marine dispersal followed by Neotropical cryptic diversification

description: Biodiversity can be boosted by colonization of new habitats, such as
 different continents and remote islands. Molecular studies have suggested
 that recently evolved organisms probably colonized already separated
 continents by dispersal, either via land bridge connections or crossing
 the ocean. Here we test the on-land and trans-marine dispersal hypotheses
 by evaluating possibilities of colonization routes over Bering land bridge
 and across the Atlantic Ocean in the cosmopolitan bat genus Eptesicus
 (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae). Previous molecular studies have found New
 World Eptesicus more closely related to Histiotus, a Neotropical endemic
 lineage with enlarged ears, than to Old World Eptesicus. However,
 phylogenetic relationships within the New World group remained unresolved
 and their evolutionary history was unclear. Here we studied the
 systematics of New World Eptesicus and Histiotus using extensive taxonomic
 and geographic sampling, and genomic data from thousands of
 ultra-conserved elements (UCEs). We estimated phylogenetic trees using
 concatenation and multispecies coalescent. All analyses supported four
 major New World clades and a novel topology where E. fuscus and Histiotus
 are sister clades that together diverged from two sister clades of
 Neotropical Eptesicus. Intra-clade divergence suggested cryptic diversity
 that has been concealed by morphological features, especially in the
 Neotropics where taxonomic re-evaluations are warranted. Molecular dating
 estimated that Old World and New World clades diverged around 17 million
 years ago followed by radiation of major New World clades in the
 mid-Miocene, when climatic changes might have facilitated global dispersal
 and radiation events. Biogeographic ancestral reconstruction supported the
 Neotropical origin of the New World clades, suggesting a trans-Atlantic
 colonization route from North Africa to the northern Neotropics. We
 highlight that trans-marine dispersal may be more prevalent than currently
 acknowledged and may be an important first step to global
 biodiversification.

title: Differential seasonal avoidance of anthropogenic features and woody vegetation by Lesser Prairie-chickens

description: The influence of seasonal variation in animal behavior and the
 corresponding response in habitat selection is a critical component of
 habitat selection analyses. To examine this relationship, we conducted
 multi-scale analyses of Lesser Prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus
 pallidicinctus) habitat selection in relation to anthropogenic
 infrastructure associated with oil and gas development, mesquite, and
 trees during the spring and summer at home range and lek area scales. We
 tracked 159 Lesser Prairie-chickens using VHF radiotelemetry or PTT-GPS
 transmitters in the sand shinnery oak prairie region of eastern New
 Mexico, USA. We used discrete choice models and logistic regression to
 assess seasonal patterns of habitat selection at home range and lek area
 scales, respectively. The static habitat features we examined allowed us
 to observe differential patterns of habitat selection between the two
 seasons, revealing an overall increase in the degree of avoidance
 following the spring season. Results of our home range scale analysis
 indicate that utility pole density, mesquite cover and proximity, distance
 to active well pads, and proximity to private roads have significant
 negative effects on habitat selection during both seasons. Avoidance of
 dense utility pole areas was significantly greater during the summer. Lek
 area habitat selection results were similar, but differences in
 sensitivity to features between seasons were stronger. Avoidance of high
 mesquite cover and utility pole and tree densities, in particular, was
 significantly greater in the summer. The effects of density and cover of
 these features, which have previously been understudied or overlooked in
 Lesser Prairie-chicken research, provide critical information for future
 conservation practices. Furthermore, our study highlights the importance
 of accounting for potential seasonal patterns of their study species to
 best examine habitat selection.
description: These datasets were developed by quantifying anthropogenic
 infrastructure and woody vegetation in relation to locations of Lesser
 Prairie-chickens (<em>Tympanuchus pallidicinctus</em>) during
 the spring (March 1 – May 31) and summer (June 1 – August 31) in Chaves,
 Lea, and Roosevelt Counties, New Mexico, USA, 2013–2015.

title: Some neighbors are better than others: variation in associational effects among plants in an old field community

description: Consumer-resource interactions are often influenced by other species in
 the community, such as when neighboring plants increase or reduce
 herbivory to a focal plant species (known as associational effects). The
 many studies on associational effects between a focal plant and some
 neighbor have shown that these effects can vary greatly in strength and
 direction. But because almost all of these studies measure associational
 effects from only one or two neighbor species, we know little about the
 actual range of associational effects that a plant species might encounter
 in a natural setting. This makes it difficult to determine how important
 effects of neighbors are in real field settings, and how associational
 effects might interact with competition and other processes to influence
 plant community composition.  In this study, we used a field
 experiment with a focal species, Solanum carolinense, and 11 common
 neighbor species to investigate how associational effects vary among many
 co-occurring neighbor species and to test whether factors such as neighbor
 plant apparency, phylogenetic proximity to the focal species, or effects
 on focal plant defense traits help to explain interspecific variation in
 associational effect strength.  We found that some neighbor
 species affected S. carolinense damage and attack by specialist
 herbivores, but associational effects of most neighbors were weak.
 Associational effects increased herbivore attack on average earlier in the
 season (associational susceptibility) and reduced herbivore attack on
 average later in the season (associational resistance) relative to S.
 carolinense in monoculture.  We found some evidence that a
 neighbor’s associational effect was related to its biomass and
 phylogenetic proximity to the focal species. While neighbor species
 differed in their effects on physical leaf traits of focal plants
 (trichome density, specific leaf area, leaf toughness), these traits did
 not appear to mediate the effects of neighbors on focal plant
 herbivory.  Synthesis: Our results suggest that the distribution
 of associational effect strengths in natural communities are similar to
 those observed for other interaction types, and that multiple mechanisms
 are likely acting simultaneously to shape associational effects of
 different neighbor species.

title: Graminoids vary in functional traits, carbon dioxide and methane fluxes in a restored peatland: implications for modeling carbon storage

description: 1. One metric of peatland restoration success is the re-establishment of a
 carbon sink, yet considerable uncertainty remains around the timescale of
 carbon sink trajectories. Conditions post-restoration may promote the
 establishment of vascular plants such as graminoids, often at greater
 density than would be found in undisturbed peatlands, with consequences
 for carbon storage. Although graminoid species are often considered as a
 single plant functional type (PFT) in land-atmosphere models, our
 understanding of functional variation among graminoid species is limited,
 particularly in a restoration context. 2. We used a traits-based approach
 to evaluate graminoid functional variation and to assess whether different
 graminoid species should be considered a single PFT or multiple types. We
 tested hypotheses that greenhouse gas fluxes (CO2, CH4) would vary due to
 differences in plant traits among five graminoid species in a restored
 peatland in central Alberta, Canada. We further hypothesized that species
 would form two functionally distinct groupings based on taxonomy (grass,
 sedge). 3. Differences in gas fluxes among species were primarily driven
 by variation in leaf physiology related to photosynthetic efficiency and
 resource-use, and secondarily by plant size. Multivariate analyses did not
 reveal distinct functional groupings based on taxonomy or environmental
 preferences. Rather, we identified functional groups defined by plant
 traits and carbon fluxes that are consistent with ecological strategies
 related to differences in growth rate, resource-acquisition, and leaf
 economics, representing plants with either a strategy to grow quickly and
 invest in resource capture or to prioritize structural investment and
 resource conservation. These functional groups displayed larger average
 carbon fluxes compared to graminoid PFTs currently used in modeling. 4.
 Existing PFT designations in peatland models may be more appropriate for
 pristine or high-latitude systems than those under restoration. Although
 replacing PFTs with plant traits remains a challenge in peatlands, traits
 related to leaf physiology and growth rate strategies offer a promising
 avenue for future applications.

title: Multilocus evidence provides insight into the demographic history and asymmetrical gene flow between Ostrinia furnacalis and Ostrinia nubilalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) in the Yili area, Xinjiang, China

description: Tianshan Mountain provides a model for studying biological evolution and
 speciation. Here we assess the evolutionary history of the Ostrinia
 furnacalis and Ostrinia nubilalis, which are sympatric in the Yili River
 Valley in Xinjiang, China. Our study is based on the historical gene flow
 analyses of two species by using three mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA, COI
 & COII & Cytb) and four nuclear DNA (nuDNA, EF-1α
 & Wingless & RPS5 & CAD) markers obtained from
 representatives of HC (Huocheng), YN (Yining), XY (Xinyuan) and MNS
 (Manasi). Our results reveal that there is a strong asymmetrical gene flow
 pattern between the four populations. The population migratory pathways
 between these different populations show inflow into HC and YN, outflow
 from XY, and that MNS maintained a flow balance. Bayesian divergence time
 dating based on the COI gene suggest the genetic divergence between the
 two species in this area may have occurred in the late-Pleistocene
 (0.003–0.0127 Mya). Neutrality tests (Tajima’s D, Fu’s Fs) and mismatch
 distribution test results suggest that population expansion events may not
 have occurred in the recent past, which may follow the ‘mountain
 isolation’ hypothesis. The ML and BI trees of the mtDNA haplotype dataset
 show that ECB haplotypes are clustered together in a distinct clade and
 are clearly separate from ACB haplotypes. However, the geographical
 pattern of haplotype distribution is less clear and there is no strong
 correspondence between haplotypes and their geographical pattern for both
 ACB and ECB, implying that there has been frequent gene flow among the
 geographic populations in the Tianshan Mountains. These findings confirm
 that geological factors play an important role in driving genetic
 patterns.
description: To evaluate
 the variation in genetic diversity among four geographical populations, we
 calculated the number of haplotypes (<em>Nh</em>), haplotype
 diversity (<em>Hd</em>), and nucleotide diversity
 (<em>π</em>) for each population using DnaSP v 6.12.03
 (Rozas &
 Librado,
 2017) based on the
 combined three mitochondrial genes dataset (MTD) and combined four nuclear
 genes dataset (NUD), respectively. Genetic distances within
 and between populations were calculated in MEGA v 11. 0. 8
 (Tamura et al.,
 2021) employing the Kimura
 2-parameter (K2P) model (Kimura, 1980; Kumar et al., 2016). In order to
 infer
 the historical gene flow and the direction of gene
 flow, we used Bayesian stochastic search variable selection (BSSVS)
 analyses (Su et al., 2015) based on the MTD.

title: Using replicate hybrid zones to understand the genomic basis of adaptive divergence

description: Combining hybrid zone analysis with genomic data is a promising approach
 to understanding the genomic basis of adaptive divergence. It allows for
 the identification of genomic regions underlying barriers to gene flow. It
 also provides insights into spatial patterns of allele frequency change,
 informing about the interplay between environmental factors, dispersal and
 selection. However, when only a single hybrid zone is analysed, it is
 difficult to separate patterns generated by selection from those resulting
 from chance. Therefore, it is beneficial to look for repeatable patterns
 across replicate hybrid zones in the same system. We applied this approach
 to the marine snail Littorina saxatilis, which contains two ecotypes,
 adapted to wave-exposed rocks vs. high-predation boulder fields. The
 existence of numerous hybrid zones between ecotypes offered the
 opportunity to test for the repeatability of genomic architectures and
 spatial patterns of divergence. We sampled and phenotyped snails from
 seven replicate hybrid zones on the Swedish west coast and genotyped them
 for thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms. Shell shape and size
 showed parallel clines across all zones. Many genomic regions showing
 steep clines and/or high differentiation were shared among hybrid zones,
 consistent with a common evolutionary history and extensive gene flow
 between zones, and supporting the importance of these regions for
 divergence. In particular, we found that several large putative inversions
 contribute to divergence in all locations. Additionally, we found evidence
 for consistent displacement of clines from the boulder–rock transition.
 Our results demonstrate patterns of spatial variation that would not be
 accessible without continuous spatial sampling, a large genomic data set
 and replicate hybrid zones.

title: Can behavior and physiology mitigate effects of warming on ectotherms? A test in urban ants

description: 1. Global climate change is expected to have pervasive effects on the
 diversity and distribution of species, particularly ectotherms whose body
 temperatures depend on environmental temperatures. However, these impacts
 remain difficult to predict, in part because ectotherms may adapt or
 acclimate to novel conditions or may use behavioral thermoregulation to
 reduce their exposure to stressful microclimates. 2. Here we examine the
 potential for physiological and behavioral changes to mitigate effects of
 environmental warming on five species of ants in a temperate forest
 habitat subject to urban warming. 3. We worked in eight urban and eight
 non-urban forest sites in North Carolina, USA; sites experienced a 1.1°C
 range of mean summer air temperatures. At each site, we documented
 species-specific microclimates (ant operative temperatures, Te) and ant
 activity on a transect of 14 bait stations at three times of day. In the
 laboratory, we measured upper thermal tolerance (CTmax) and thermal
 preference (Tpref) for each focal species. We then asked whether thermal
 traits shifted at hotter sites, and whether ants avoided non-preferred
 microclimates in the field. 4. CTmax and Tpref did not increase at warmer
 sites, indicating that these populations did not adapt or acclimate to
 urban warming. Consistent with behavioral thermoregulation, four of the
 five species were less likely to occupy baits where Te departed from
 Tpref. Apparent thermoregulation resulted from fixed diel activity
 patterns that helped ants avoid the most inappropriate temperatures but
 did not compensate for daily or spatial temperature variation: Hotter
 sites had hotter ants. 5. This study uses a novel approach to detect
 behavioral thermoregulation and sublethal warming in foraging insects. The
 results suggest that adaptation and behavior may not protect common
 temperate forest ants from a warming climate, and highlight the need to
 evaluate effects of chronic, sublethal warming on small ectotherms.

title: Song complexity is maintained during inter-population cultural transmission of humpback whale songs

description: Among animal species, the songs of male humpback whales (Megaptera
 novaeangliae) are a rare example of social learning between entire
 populations. Understanding fine-scale similarity in song patterns and
 structural features will better clarify how accurately songs are learned
 during inter-population transmission. Here, six distinct song types
 (2009–2015) transmitted from the east Australian to New Caledonian
 populations were quantitatively analysed using fine-scale song features.
 Results found that New Caledonian whales learned each song type with high
 accuracy regardless of the pattern’s complexity. However, there were rare
 instances of themes (stereotyped patterns of sound units) only sung by a
 single population. These occurred more often in progressively changing
 ‘evolutionary’ songs compared to rapidly changing ‘revolutionary’ songs.
 Our results suggest that populations do not need to reduce complexity to
 accurately learn song patterns. Populations may also incorporate changes
 and embellishments into songs in the form of themes which are suggested to
 be learnt as distinct segments. Maintaining complex song patterns with
 such accuracy suggests significant acoustic contact, supporting the
 hypothesis that song learning may occur on shared feeding grounds or
 migration routes. This study improves the understanding of
 inter-population mechanisms for large-scale cultural transmission in
 animals.

title: Data from: A study on the Influence of submergence ratio on the transportation of suspended sediment in a partially vegetated channel flow

description: Riparian or aquatic vegetation thrives with seasons. The understanding of
 canopies’ Submergence-Ratio SR (stems’ height to water depth) influence on
 suspended sediments’ transportation is still limited. Thus, Large Eddy
 Simulations (LES) coupled with the Discrete Phase Method (DPM) are used to
 investigate the particles’ 3-dimensional distribution in a partially
 vegetated straight channel. The spanwise distribution of particles is
 quantified by the Probability Density Function (PDF), showing a
 non-uniformity of particles in time as quantified by the PDF variance. The
 findings and conclusions: (Ⅰ) With SR rising, the particles’ depletion
 effects exerted by the vegetation-side mixing layer are improved along the
 interface between vegetated and vegetation-side bare channel region.
 However, the SR has little effect on the variance of the particles’ PDF in
 the spanwise direction when the mixing layer is fully developed. (Ⅱ)
 During the developing stage of the over-canopy mixing layer, submerged
 vegetation with higher SR gain a stronger upwards (vertical) entrainment
 capability. The case (SR=60%) has a higher sediment concentration than
 other cases in the fully developed vertical mixing layer region above
 canopy. (III) The vertical suspension of particles in the vegetation-side
 bare channel region is analysed. Particles migrating from the vegetated
 region are entrained into the vegetation-side bare channel region by
 turbulent structures. Nevertheless, the vertical concentration profile is
 more uniform in the vegetated region than in the vegetation-side bare
 channel at the same streamwise location. The cases SR=40% and 60% still
 have higher sediment concentrations than other cases in the
 vegetation-side bare channel’s upper region.
