title: First draft genome release for the sand-hopper Trinorchestia longiramus

description: Crustacean amphipods are considered as an important trophic link between primary producers and higher consumers and help in the energy flow within the ecosystem. Among amphipods, Talitridae is the only family exceptionally found in terrestrial and semi-terrestrial habitats. The sand-hopper <i>Trinorchestia longiramus</i> is a talitrid species often found in the sandy beaches of South Korea. In this study, we generated ~380.3Gb of sequencing data and assembled to 0.89 Gb of the draft genome. By combining <i>ab initio</i> and homologous gene predictions 26,123 protein-coding genes were predicted from this genome. The completeness of the gene model was estimated with BUSCO, which resulted in 89.9%. Comparison with other amphipods showed that <i>T. longiramus</i> has 327 unique orthologous gene clusters, which are mostly expanded gene families responsible for the transport of toxicants from the cells, homeostatic process and tolerating ionic and osmotic stress. This first talitrid genome will be useful for further understanding the mechanisms of adaptation in the terrestrial environments as well as genomic variation from other amphipods.

title: <i>Fostoria dhimbangunmal</i>, gen. et sp. nov<i>.</i>, a new iguanodontian (Dinosauria, Ornithopoda) from the mid-Cretaceous of Lightning Ridge, New South Wales, Australia

description: Globally, non-hadrosauroid iguanodontians (‘basal iguanodontians’) reached their acme in terms of diversity during the Early Cretaceous. However, Gondwanan representatives of this clade are rare and are represented in Australia only by the enigmatic <i>Muttaburrasaurus langdoni</i> (upper Albian; Mackunda Formation)<i>.</i> Here, we describe a new iguanodontian, <i>Fostoria dhimbangunmal</i>, gen. et sp. nov<i>.</i>, from the Cenomanian Griman Creek Formation at Lightning Ridge, New South Wales, Australia. The holotype and referred specimens, preserved entirely in opal, pertain to at least four individuals from a monodominant bone bed excavated from an underground opal mine. This deposit constitutes the first ornithopod-dominated bone bed from Australia. Elements from most parts of the body are represented, including the first partial skull of a dinosaur recovered from New South Wales. The new taxon is identified by a number of autapomorphies that include, but are not restricted to, a stepped lateral margin of the frontal in dorsal view and a stout protuberance on the anterolateral corner of the frontal. Phylogenetic analysis based on a recently published data set recovers <i>Fostoria</i> as the sister taxon to a clade of Gondwanan iguanodontians that includes <i>Anabisetia saldiviai</i>, <i>Talenkauen santacrucensis</i>, and <i>Muttaburrasaurus langdoni</i>. The new taxon and <i>M. langdoni</i> represent the sole iguanodontians known from the eastern margin of the epeiric Eromanga Sea, whereas the group is conspicuously absent from the contemporaneous ornithopod-dominated ecosystems of the Australian-Antarctic rift valley in Victoria.

title: <i>Ex vivo</i> biofilm-forming ability of dermatophytes using dog and cat hair: an ethically viable approach for an infection model

description: The aim of this study was to establish an <i>ex vivo</i> model for dermatophyte biofilm growth, using hair from dogs and cats. Strains of <i>Microsporum canis</i>, <i>M. gypseum</i>, <i>Trichophyton mentagrophytes</i> and <i>T. tonsurans</i> were assessed for <i>in vitro</i> and <i>ex vivo</i> biofilm production. All <i>T</i>. <i>mentagrophytes</i> and <i>T</i>. <i>tonsurans</i> isolates and 8/12 <i>M</i>. <i>canis</i> and 1/7 <i>M</i>. <i>gypseum</i> isolates formed biofilms <i>in vitro</i>, while all tested isolates presented biofilm growth on <i>ex vivo</i> models. <i>T. mentagrophytes</i> and <i>M. canis</i> formed more homogeneous and better-structured biofilms with greater biomass production on cat hair but <i>T. tonsurans</i> formed more biofilm on dog hair. Confocal and scanning electron microscopy demonstrated fungal hyphae colonizing and perforating the hair shaft, abundant fungal conidia, biofilm extracellular matrix and biofilm water channels. The present study demonstrated an <i>ex vivo</i> model for the performance of studies on biofilm formation by dermatophytes, using dog and cat hair.

title: Birds associated with different tree species and structures in oil palm agroforestry landscapes in Malaysia

description: The expansion of oil palm (<i>Elaeis guineensis</i>) cultivation has been recognised as a major threat to tropical biodiversity. Smallholdings, however, unlike large-scale conventional monoculture oil palm plantations, often practice polyculture which may resemble an agroforestry system. These private holdings provide more heterogeneous vegetation which may support greater a greater diversity of birds. This study compared species richness and abundance of birds detected perching in oil palm (both dead and living trees) and seven other planted crop species within oil palm smallholdings. Using transect line surveys, we recorded a total of 816 birds of 39 species from 20 families. Our results indicate that bird species richness and abundance differed significantly between oil palm and the other planted tree species. Non-oil palm trees cumulatively increased bird species richness and abundance. Although birds overall perched more frequently on living oil palm trees (probably reflecting relative abundance), other species including breadfruit, mango, papaya, banana, and coconut, as well as dead trees, were also used. By measuring effect size, we also found that both bird species richness and abundance rely on tree structure and type of tree species. These findings tentatively suggest that providing a larger diversity of tree species within intensively managed oil palm plantations may support a wider variety of local bird species compared to monocultures.

title: Revealing the potential of a huge citizen-science platform to study bird migration

description: The currently best-known ornithological citizen-science platform is Cornell’s eBird, which provides crucial information for bird migration studies. Considering the solid validity of eBird data, and after a validation process, we comparatively explored the data available in the Brazilian-wide platform WikiAves for bird migration studies. We selected five migratory and four resident species as models, controlling for likely sampling biases derived from efforts by the platform collaborators. If data in WikiAves were adequate for migration studies, we respectively expected, after a between-platform comparison, similar yearlong seasonal and non-seasonal occurrence records of all migratory and resident species. Data analysis supported our expectations: eBird and WikiAves data showed consistent temporal occurrence patterns for all evaluated species. Therefore, we selected another six model-species showing literature inconsistency on their migratory behaviour, demonstrating for the first time the potential of a Brazilian citizen-science database – WikiAves – in unveiling geographically seasonal occurrence patterns of the understudied migratory bird species in Brazil. Our study highlights the general public relevance on reducing knowledge gaps about bird migration in Brazil, revealing a feasible strategy to overcome some current logistic barriers that preclude advances in South American bird migration studies, a currently underexplored research area, especially by Brazilian researchers.

title: Five hundred million years of punctuated addition of juvenile crust during extension in the Goochland Terrane, central Appalachian Piedmont Province

description: The Goochland Terrane is an enigmatic crustal block in the Appalachian Piedmont Province of central Virginia, USA. Sparse exposures of terminal Mesoproterozoic and late Neoproterozoic igneous rocks in the central Goochland Terrane offer the opportunity to investigate both the continental affinity of the terrane during the Proterozoic Eon and the timing and mechanisms of crustal growth. We apply multiple geochemical tools to these rocks: tectonic discrimination using whole-rock major and trace element abundances; whole-rock Sm-Nd isotopes; O, U-Pb, and Lu-Hf isotope analyses of spots in zircon; and measurement of O isotopes in multi-grain quartz separates. Eruption of the Sabot Amphibolite protolith is difficult to date, but we tentatively assign an age of 552 ± 11 Ma. Goochland Terrane continental crust first separated from the mantle prior to ca. 1050–1010 Ma intrusion of the Montpelier Anorthosite and the State Farm Gneiss protolith. The granitic magma that became the State Farm Gneiss protolith could have been derived entirely from partial melting of this initial Goochland Terrane crust. In contrast, the magmas that became the Montpelier Anorthosite, Neoproterozoic granitoid, and the Sabot Amphibolite were mixtures of mantle melt and preexisting Goochland Terrane crust. This production of juvenile continental crust occurred during continental extension and, eventually, rifting. The timing and compositions of terminal Mesoproterozoic magmatism in the Goochland Terrane closely match those in the nearby Blue Ridge Province. Although the compositions of the Neoproterozoic magmas in the two regions are similar, intrusion and possibly eruption occurred about 10 M.y. later in the Goochland Terrane.
