title: Seizure outcome of pediatric epilepsy surgery: systematic review and meta-analyses

description: Objective: This systematic review and meta-analyses assessed seizure
 outcome following pediatric epilepsy surgery. Methods: MEDLINE, Embase and
 Cochrane were searched for pediatric epilepsy surgery original research
 from 1990 to 2017. The outcome was seizure freedom at 12 months or longer
 follow-up. Using random effects models, the effect sizes for controlled
 studies, uncontrolled studies on surgery locations (temporal lobe [TL],
 extra-temporal lobe [ETL] or hemispheric surgery), pathologies,
 non-lesional epilepsy and incomplete resection were estimated.
 Meta-regression assessed the relationship between age at surgery, age at
 seizure onset and seizure outcome. Random-effects network meta-analysis
 was conducted for surgery locations. Results: 258 studies were included.
 Surgery achieved higher seizure freedom than medical therapy (OR=6.49
 [95%CI: 2.87, 14.70], p&lt;0.001). Seizure freedom declined over time
 after surgery, from 64.8% (95%CI: 51.2%, 76.4%; p=0.034) at 1 year, to
 60.3% (95%CI: 52.9%, 67.4%; p=0.007) at 5 years, and 39.7% (95%CI: 28.4%,
 52.2%, p=0.106) at 10 years. Seizure freedom was (i) highest for
 hemispheric surgery, followed by TL, and ETL surgery; and (ii) highest for
 tumor, and lower for malformations of cortical development. Seizure
 freedom was lower for non-lesional than lesional epilepsy (OR=0.54 [95%CI:
 0.34, 0.88], p=0.013), and incomplete than complete resection (OR=0.13
 [95%CI: 0.08, 0.21], p&lt;0.001). Age at surgery and age at seizure
 onset were associated with seizure freedom for mixed pathologies and
 surgery locations, and TL surgery. Conclusion: Epilepsy surgery was more
 effective than medical therapy to control seizures. Understanding seizure
 outcomes of different surgery locations, pathologies, non-lesional
 epilepsy and incomplete resection will assist with pre-surgical
 counselling.

title: Data from: Physical and physiological impacts of ocean warming alter phenotypic selection on sperm morphology

description: Global warming may threaten fertility, which is a key component of
 individual fitness and vital for population persistence. For males,
 fertility relies on the ability of sperm to collide and fuse with eggs;
 consequently, sperm morphology is predicted to be a prime target of
 selection owing to its effects on male function. In aquatic environments,
 warming will expose gametes of external fertilisers to the physiological
 effects of higher temperature and the physical effects of lower viscosity.
 However, the consequences of either effect for fertility, and for
 selection acting on sperm traits to maintain fertility, are poorly
 understood. Here, we test how independent changes in water temperature and
 viscosity alter male fertility and selection on sperm morphology in an
 externally-fertilising marine tubeworm. To create five fertilisation
 environments, we manipulate temperature to reflect current-day conditions
 (16.5°C), projected near-term warming (21°C), and projected long-term
 warming (25°C), then adjust two more environments at 21°C and 25°C to the
 viscosity of environments at 16.5°C and 21°C, respectively. We then use a
 split-ejaculate design to measure the fertility of focal males, and
 selection on their sperm, in each environment. Projected changes in
 temperature and viscosity act independently to reduce male fertility, but
 act jointly to alter selection on sperm morphology. Specifically,
 environments resulting from projected warming alter selection on the sperm
 midpiece in ways that suggest shifts in the energetic challenges of
 functioning under stressful conditions. Selection also targets sperm head
 dimensions and tail length, irrespective of environment. We provide the
 first evidence that projected changes in ocean temperature and viscosity
 will not only impact the fertility of marine external fertilisers, but
 expose their gametes to novel selection pressures that may drive them to
 adapt in response if gamete phenotypes are sufficiently heritable.

title: Temporally varying disruptive selection in the medium ground finch (Geospiza fortis).

description: Disruptive natural selection within populations exploiting different
 resources is considered to be a major driver of adaptive radiation and the
 production of biodiversity. Fitness functions, which describe the
 relationships between trait variation and fitness, can help to illuminate
 how this disruptive selection leads to population differentiation.
 However, a single fitness function represents only a particular selection
 regime over a single specified time period (often a single season or a
 year), and therefore might not capture longer-term
 dynamics. Here, we build a series of annual fitness functions
 that quantify the relationships between phenotype and apparent survival.
 These functions are based on a nine-year mark-recapture dataset of over
 600 medium ground finches (Geospiza fortis) within a population bimodal
 for beak size. We then relate changes in the shape of these functions to
 climate variables. We find that disruptive selection between small and
 large beak morphotypes, as reported previously for two years, is present
 throughout the study period, but that the intensity of this selection
 varies in association with the harshness of environment. In particular, we
 find that disruptive selection was strongest when precipitation was high
 during the dry season of the previous year. Our results shed light on
 climatic factors associated with disruptive selection in Darwin’s finches,
 and highlight the role of temporally varying fitness functions in
 modulating the extent of population differentiation.

title: Data from: Patterns of genomic divergence and signals of selection in sympatric and allopatric northeastern Pacific and Sea of Cortez populations of the sargo (Anisotremus davidsonii) and longjaw mudsucker (Gillichthys mirabilis)

description: Studying how isolation can impact population divergence and adaptation in
 co-distributed species can bring us closer to understanding how landscapes
 affect biodiversity. The Sargo, Anisotremus davidsonii (Haemulidae), and
 the Longjaw mudsucker, Gillichthys mirabilis (Gobiidae), offer a notable
 framework to study such mechanisms as their Pacific populations cross
 phylogeographic breaks at Point Conception, California, USA, and Punta
 Eugenia, Mexico, and are separated to those in the Sea of Cortez by the
 Baja California peninsula. Here, thousands of loci are genotyped from 48
 Sargos and 73 mudsuckers using RADseq to characterize overall genomic
 divergence, and search for common patterns of putatively neutral and
 non-neutral structure based on outlier loci among populations with
 hypothesized different levels of isolation. We further search for
 parallels between population divergence and the total proportion of
 outliers, outlier FST distribution, and the proportion of outliers
 matching coding regions in GenBank. This dataset consists of demultiplexed
 sequence data from Sbf1 single digest RADseq analysis of poulations of
 both fish species throughout their distributions.

title: Variations in leaf economics spectrum traits for an evergreen coniferous species: Tree size dominates over environment factors

description: Many leaf traits strongly vary with tree size and environmental factors,
 but the importance of these factors to intraspecific variations of leaf
 traits in forest trees have rarely been simultaneously evaluated. We
 measured needle longevity and specific leaf area (SLA) and nitrogen (N)
 content of every needle age (0 to 4 year old) for 65 individuals with
 0.3-100 cm diameter at breast height (DBH) for an evergreen coniferous
 species, Pinus koraiensis Sieb. et Zucc., in Northeast China. We
 simultaneously evaluated effects of tree size (DBH or tree height) and
 environment factors (light intensity, soil N content and water
 availability) on the needle longevity, SLA, foliage N content as well as
 the slopes of regressions of SLA and foliage N content against needle age.
 All of the studied leaf traits and slopes of regressions of SLA and
 foliage N content against needle age were significantly related to tree
 size. Tree height had a greater impact on SLA and area-based leaf N
 content (Narea), whereas DBH was more important for needle longevity and
 mass-based leaf N content (Nmass). The environment variables, light
 intensity, soil N content and water availability, were rather minor
 factors for trait variations compared with tree size. Significant
 influences of light intensity were found only on needle longevity, and
 soil N and water availability had no effects on the leaf traits. Our study
 clearly showed that tree size is an important driver of intraspecific
 variations in the key leaf traits of Pinus koraiensis in a natural forest.
 We also emphasize the importance of DBH or tree height varies depending on
 leaf traits, suggesting various mechanisms of size effects on the
 intraspecific variations in leaf traits. We suggest that ecological
 significance of leaf trait variations needs reconsideration incorporating
 tree size effect.

title: Morphological traits mediate fish occurrences in oil palm-impacted tropical streams

description:   Land-use change is a leading driver of biodiversity loss,
 especially in tropical fresh waters where the conversion of natural forest
 to monoculture plantations impactsÂ freshwater fish assemblages. The
 environmental pathways underpinning shifts in fish assemblages, however,
 are poorly understood, but could potentially be inferred from
 trait-environment relationships. We addressed this knowledge gap using
 eco-morphological traits to explain fish occurrences in oil palm-impacted
 streams of the Endau drainage in Peninsular Malaysia. We also investigated
 how traits relate to differences in environmental conditions associated
 with land-use change. We then integrate findings from the above to test
 how potential pathways of land-use driven environmental changes can impact
 species occurrences through effects on life history, feeding habits and
 mobility. Mixed-effects models show that fishes with superior
 (upward-facing) mouths and low body mass were more likely to occur in oil
 palm streams than forest streams, and these traits were associated with
 grass-dominated riparian zones and reduced woody debris in oil palm
 streams, respectively. Structural equation models show that mouth
 positions statistically mediated the effect of riparian vegetation on fish
 species occurrences in oil palm streams. Specifically, fishes with
 superior mouths were more likely to feed on terrestrial invertebrates. Our
 analysis of easily measurable traits revealed pathways of land-use impact
 that are potentially more widely applicable than conventional taxa-based
 approaches. Fishes with superior mouths tended to occur in oil palm
 streams as they were able to more effectively exploit inputs of
 terrestrial invertebrates that are potentially associated with
 grass-dominated riparian vegetation. Moreover, shifts in traits may
 suggest land-use driven changes in stream ecosystem functioning (e.g., in
 terms of the role of terrestrial subsidies), thereby informing targeted
 management actions in land-use impacted habitats (e.g.,
 retention/restoration of riparian trees).

title: Intrinsic biotic factors and micro-site conditions drive seedling survival in a species with masting reproduction

description: 1. Seedling recruitment following a masting event, where more fruits are
 produced in synchrony and intermittently compared to other species, plays
 a crucial role in determining species diversity and community structure.
 Such seedling recruitment can be super-abundant, but followed by high
 mortality shortly thereafter. Differences in biotic factors such seedling
 characteristics, competition and herbivory, and micro-site specific
 abiotic factors could determine seedling fate in space and time. 2. In a
 subtropical forest in south China, for two years using censuses conducted
 every one to two months, we monitored 40 seed traps and 120, 1 m2 quadrats
 in five 1-hectare plots located from 1400 m to 1850 m asl for the masting
 maple species, Acer campbellii subsp. sinense (Pax) P.C.DeJong . We
 measured biotic – conspecific and heterospecific seedling density, species
 richness, herbivory, seedling height and leaf number – and abiotic –
 canopy openness, slope, and aspect – factors to assess drivers of seedling
 survival and evaluated A. campbellii subsp. sinense presence in the soil
 seed bank (SSB). 3. The masting seed dispersal peak and seedling emergence
 peak occurred between October 2017 and January 2018, and May 2018,
 respectively. Of 688 selected seedlings, mortality was 92.7% within one
 year. No seeds were observed in the SSB. Seedling height and leaf number
 positively affected seedling survival, while seed placement as measured by
 aspect also showed effects on survival. Conspecific and heterospecific
 density and herbivory did not show any clear effect. Higher probabilities
 of seedling survival were found in areas with larger canopy openness (≥
 12% canopy gap size) and in steeper micro-sites (≥ 35°). 4. Synthesis.
 Masting is mainly studied as a population level phenomenon from the
 fruiting tree perspective. Our study of individual seedling fate revealed
 that intrinsic biotic factors and seed placement were key drivers of
 survival. Although biotic determinants such as competition from
 conspecifics or heterospecifics or herbivory did not determine survival,
 their ubiquitous presence may be an underlying equalizer in community
 dynamics where seedlings that overcome biotic pressures, if placed at the
 right micro-site, are at better odds at being recruited to the next life
 history stages.

title: Epidermal Growth Factor signaling promotes sleep through a combined series and parallel neural circuit

description: Sleep requires sleep-active neurons that depolarize to inhibit wake
 circuits. Sleep-active neurons are under the control of homeostatic
 mechanisms that determine sleep need. However, little is known about the
 molecular and circuit mechanisms that translate sleep need into the
 depolarization of sleep-active neurons. During many stages and conditions
 in C. elegans, sleep requires a sleep-active neuron called RIS. Here, we
 defined the transcriptome of RIS to discover that genes of the Epidermal
 Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway are expressed in RIS. With
 cellular stress, EGFR directly activates RIS. Activation of EGFR signaling
 in the ALA neuron has previously been suggested to promote sleep
 independently of RIS. Unexpectedly, we found that ALA activation promotes
 RIS depolarization. Our results suggest that ALA is a drowsiness neuron
 with two separable functions. (1) It inhibits specific behaviors such as
 feeding independently of RIS, (2) and it activates RIS. Whereas ALA plays
 a strong role in surviving cellular stress, surprisingly, RIS does not. In
 summary, EGFR signaling can depolarize RIS by an indirect mechanism
 through activation of the ALA neuron that acts upstream of the
 sleep-active RIS neuron as well as through a direct mechanism using EGFR
 signaling in RIS. ALA-dependent drowsiness rather than RIS-dependent sleep
 bouts appears to be important for increasing survival following cellular
 stress, suggesting that different types of behavioral inhibition play
 different roles in restoring health.

title: Data from: Plant-bacteria-soil response to frequency of simulated nitrogen deposition has implications for global ecosystem change

description: Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition, generally, has been simulated through
 a single or relatively few N applications per year for its ecological
 effect study. Despite the importance of timing in ecosystem processes,
 ecological experiments with more realistic N addition frequencies are
 rare. We employed a novel design with typical twice (2X) vs. atypical
 monthly (12X) N applications per year to explore effects of N addition
 frequency on above- and below-ground biodiversity and function. Each year,
 several response variables from either belowground or aboveground growth,
 N status and cycling, or plant and bacterial diversity differed as a
 result of N addition frequency. BNPP showed a large frequency effect in
 the relatively moist year but not in the dry year. Nitrogen addition
 decreased root growth in the monthly relative to the biannual
 applications, which could be highly consequential for predicting changes
 in global carbon and nitrogen cycling. Simulated N deposition tended to
 perturb biodiversity, but it is noteworthy that 12X applications that
 spread N deposition more evenly through a year have much less negative
 impacts on plant and bacterial diversities than 2X amendments per year.
 Soil N mineralization rate in year 6 was much lower when N additions were
 monthly compared with a biannual amendment, especially when simulated N
 deposition was high. We have established that amendment frequency matters
 for understanding ecosystem response to N deposition. Experiments that
 more closely mimic the anthropogenic process of N deposition are needed to
 best assess ecosystem and potential global biogeochemical changes.
description: The total plant biomass and species number were used to estimate
 ANPP and plant biodiversity. Belowground net primary productivity (BNPP)
 was estimated by an in-growth core method. Soil temperature was
 automatically recorded at 1.5 h intervals using the iButton digital
 temperature logger (DS1922L, Maxim Integrated, CA USA) that was buried at
 10-cm depth in the soil of each plot. Soil pH was measured in a 1:2.5
 soil: water (w/v) solution by a pH meter (FE20-FiveEasy, Switzerland). The
 concentrations of NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>-N,
 NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>-N and dissolved N in
 soil extract were analysed with an autoanalyzer (AA3, SEAL Analytical
 GmbH, Hanau, Germany). Soil DON concentration was calculated by the
 equation: DON=DN/0.871-
 (NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>-N +
 NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>-N). Soil microbial
 biomass N (MBN) was measured using the chloroform fumigation-extraction
 method. Soil potential net N mineralization rate (or net nitrification
 rate) was estimated as the difference between initial and final inorganic
 N (or NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>-N) during 30-day
 incubation under standard conditions. For more methods and details, please
