title: Impact of Interconnection Failure on Photovoltaic Module Performance

description: This data set consists of illuminated and dark current-voltage (I-V), suns-Voc, and EL images for a set of modules used in an interconnection study. Four 60-cell, multicrystalline Al-BSF modules were systematically cut from the rear side to inflict interconnection failures, resembling solder bond failures in the field. The cutting procedure is described in experiment PowerPoint.<br>Illuminated I-V, suns-Voc, and the summary_IV_performance spreadsheet were obtained from the Sinton FMT-350 tool.<br>The EL images in this set are taken as "EL sweeps," in which for each set of images, a series of individual images using increasing bias currents are obtained. This is used for calibrated EL image analysis to extract dark I-V from each cell using the module level images. Images were obtained using an 8MP cooled Si CCD camera with an 850nm longpass filter.

title: Limnological data from nearly 400 lakes across the Americas and New Zealand with a focus on vertical profiles of temperature, UV radiation, and optical properties

description: Two and a half decades of limnological data have been collected from nearly 400 lakes, encompassing a wide range of systems and a broad range of geography. This data set comprises one of the largest and most complete sets of measurements of underwater ultraviolet (UV) transparency available in the world. The data include a suite of 36 variables, with a focus on the optical characteristics. Lakes range from pristine natural lakes to manmade reservoirs. The systems represented in this data set are largely located in North America, from the northeastern United States to Alaska, and alpine and subalpine lakes in the Rocky Mountains of the United States and Canada. Lakes included range from iconic Lake Tahoe, and Castle Lake in northern California, to lakes in the South American Patagonian region, as well as New Zealand. Data were most often collected during the summer, and in some lakes span multiple years (with year-round data since 2006 in Lake Tahoe). The data here are contained in three files, including LakeData.csv, SiteInformation.csv, and Methods.csv. The main data are in LakeData.csv. SiteInformation.csv and Methods.csv support the main data file with descriptions of the sampling sites and methods by which samples were processed, respectively. This data set complements the site-intensive limnological data that we published in EDI on 30+ years of data from 3 lakes in the Poconos Mountains region of Pennsylvania, USA.

title: Taxonomic status of genera <i>Nodularia</i>, <i>Middendorffinaia</i> and <i>Inversiunio</i> (Bivalvia: Unionidae) from South-East Asia: morphometric, genetic and GenBank data

description: Recent investigations of East Asian freshwater mussel genera <i>Nodularia</i>, <i>Middendorffinaia</i> and <i>Inversiunio</i> confirmed validity of the taxa, while their composition and taxonomic uncertainty concerning classification of these genera within a specific subfamily are still in question. The aim of the present study is to clarify the taxonomy and systematics of <i>Nodularia</i> and <i>Middendorffinaia</i> genera from the Russian Far East and <i>Inversiunio</i> from Japan, using a multiple dataset approach that combines morphology of glochidia, detailed conchological analyses with morphometry of adult and glochidial shells, and a molecular technique involving <i>COI</i> barcoding marker. As a result, three genetically distinct and highly divergent lineages were recognized confirming the existence of three distinct genera. The existence of five <i>Nodularia</i> species in Southeast Asia is shown. One of the sequences is shown to be incorrectly assigned to <i>N. jourdyi</i>, while in fact it also represents <i>N. douglasiae</i>, according to the BIN system. Existence of a single <i>Nodularia</i> species, namely <i>N. douglasiae</i>, and a single <i>Middendorffinaia</i> species, namely <i>M. mongolica</i>, in the Russian Far East is supported. We conclude that so-called comparatory species <i>Nodularia amurensis</i>, <i>N. schrencki</i>, and <i>N. vladivostokensis</i> are junior synonyms of the species <i>Nodularia douglasiae</i>; the comparatory species <i>Middendorffinaia ussuriensis</i> and <i>M. dulkeitiana</i> are junior synonyms of the species <i>Middendorffinaia mongolica</i>. Within <i>Inversiunio</i> specimens from Japan four species were recognized based on types of glochidial microsculpture of shells and genetic data. Gene sequences of <i>Inversiunio verrucosus</i>, endemic to the Seomjingang River basin in South Korea, and <i>I. yanagawensis</i> from Kyushu Island in Japan are very similar and they can be regarded as the same species, with <i>Inversiunio verrucosus</i> as a junior synonym of <i>Inversiunio yanagawensis</i>. Mussels from Honshu Island first referred to <i>I. yanagawensis</i> are shown to be a separate species.

title: Redescription and evolutionary relationships of the Cuban endemic monotypic genus <i>Holguinia</i> Evans, 1955 (Lepidoptera, Hesperiidae, Hesperiinae)

description: We redescribe the Cuban endemic monotypic skipper genus <i>Holguinia</i> Evans and assess its phylogenetic position. Based on a 5640<b> </b>bp dataset consisting of one mitochondrial and eight nuclear genes, we recovered <i>Holguinia</i> as a member of the Hesperiina, one of the subtribes of the mostly Neotropical Hesperiini, the largest tribe within the subfamily Hesperiinae. The ancestor of <i>Holguinia</i> split from continental relatives ∼15 Ma and likely reached the proto Cuban islands by dispersal over water. The genus seems to be one of the oldest Hesperiini lineages of our sampling and is not closely related to the other genera inhabiting the islands. <i>Holguinia</i> is also quite distinctive in its morphology. The underside of wings splashed with bright emerald scaling is unique among the Hesperiidae and the long ductus bursae of the female genitalia easily distinguish this genus from its close relatives.

title: Life on an island: the phylogenetic placement of <i>Loveridgeana</i> and Afrotropical <i>Sphaerophoria</i> (Diptera: Syrphidae) inferred from molecular characters

description: Phylogenetic relationships of the <i>Sphaerophoria</i> lineage (<i>Sphaerophoria</i> Le Peletier & Audinet-Serville and related genera) were inferred based on molecular characters, with the specific aim to infer the phylogenetic placement of the Afrotropical <i>Sphaerophoria</i> species and <i>Loveridgeana beattiei</i> van Doesburg & van Doesburg. Three molecular markers were used, i.e., the mitochondrial protein-coding gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and the nuclear 28S and 18S ribosomal RNA genes. The <i>Sphaerophoria</i> lineage genera <i>Exallandra</i> Vockeroth and <i>Loveridgeana</i> were resolved within the genus <i>Sphaerophoria</i>, and the Indomalayan <i>Eosphaerophoria</i> Frey was placed sister to <i>Citrogramma</i> Vockeroth, both related to a large species radiation from the New World. <i>Fazia</i> Shannon and <i>Allograpta</i> Osten Sacken were recovered as non-monophyletic. Our results recovered two different <i>Fazia</i> clades with dissimilar natural history resulted from our analyses, and <i>Allograpta</i> species were resolved into two clades, one with Nearctic and Neotropical species and a second clade with species from Oceanian, Indomalayan and Afrotropical Regions. <i>Exallandra</i> is considered a subgenus of <i>Sphaerophoria</i>, <i>S</i>. (<i>Exallandra</i>) <b>stat. rev.,</b> and <i>Sphaerophoria cinctifacies</i> (Speiser) <b>n. comb.</b> a member of this subgenus together with <i>S. loewii</i> Zetterstedt. A new <i>Sphaerophoria</i> subgenus is designated <i>S.</i> (<i>Loveridgeana</i>) <b>stat. rev.</b> to include <i>S. beattiei</i> <b>n. comb.</b> and the South African species, i.e., <i>S. quadrituberculata</i> Bezzi, <i>S. retrocurva</i> Hull, and <i>S</i>. aff. <i>retrocurva</i>. Based on their phylogenetic distinctiveness, functional traits, and ecological relevance we do recommend further ecological study and protection efforts for this Afrotropical group of pollinators.
