title: Supplementary Material for: X-Aptamer Technology Identifies C4A and ApoB in Blood as Potential Markers for Schizophrenia

description: The field of proteomics is rapidly gaining territory as a promising alternative to genomic approaches in the efforts to unravel the complex molecular mechanisms underlying schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders. X-aptamer tech­nology has emerged as a novel proteomic approach for high-sensitivity analyses, and we hypothesized that this technology would identify unique molecular signatures in plasma samples from schizophrenia patients (<i>n</i> = 60) compared to controls (<i>n</i> = 20). Using a combinatorial library of X-aptamer beads, we developed a two-color flow cytometer-based approach to identify specific X-aptamers that bound with high specificity to each target group. Based on this, we synthesized two unique X-aptamer sequences, and specific proteins pulled down from the patient and control groups by these X-aptamers were identified by mass spectrometry. We identified two protein biomarkers, complement component C4A and ApoB, upregulated in plasma samples from schizophrenia patients. ELISA validation suggested that the observed differences in C4 levels in patients are likely due to the presence of the illness itself, while ApoB may be a marker of antipsychotic-induced alterations. These studies highlight the utility of the X-aptamer technology in the identification of biomarkers for schizophrenia that will advance our understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of this disorder.

title: X-ray microtomography in herpetological research: a review - Supplementary material

description: Herpetological research, like any other (palaeo)biological science, relies heavily on accurate data collection, particularly visualisation and quantification of anatomical features. While several high-resolution imaging methods are currently available, one technique in particular, x-ray microtomography or micro-computed tomography, is on the verge of revolutionising our understanding of the morphology of amphibians and reptiles. Here, we present a review on the prevalence and trends of x-ray microtomography in herpetological studies carried out over the last two decades. We describe its current use, provide practical guidelines for future research that focusses on the morphological study of reptiles and amphibians, and highlight emerging trends including soft-tissue and <i>in vivo</i> scanning. Furthermore, while x-ray microtomography is a rapidly evolving field with great potential, various important drawbacks are associated with its use, including sample size effect and measurement errors resulting from differences in spatial resolution and preparation techniques. By providing recommendations to overcome these hurdles, we ultimately aim to maximise the benefits of x-ray microtomography to herpetological research.

title: Litter size and seasonality in reproduction for Guianan rodents and opossums

description: We studied the litter sizes of small rodents and opossums caught in the Guianan Region (Brazilian Amapá, French Guiana, Suriname, and Guyana) by pooling the data of animals collected during various field trips conducted primarily between 1990 and 2017. A series of 569 counts of embryos (or of pouch young for marsupials) in 40 species of Didelphidae (N = 12 species), Sigmodontinae (18), Murinae (2), and Echimyidae (8) allowed for a more detailed characterization of the reproductive condition of 14 species known each by more than 10 pregnant females. For eight species with at least 20 pregnant females, an examination of seasonality in breeding occurrence documented that the two months with the lowest percentage of pregnant females are July and August (16.0 and 17.3%, respectively) during the end of the long wet season and beginning of the dry season. By contrast, January and February showed the highest abundance of pregnancies (57.9% and 55.8%, respectively) during the beginning of the long wet season. This timing coincides with most juveniles foraging during the height of the wet season in May when food is presumably most prevalent.

title: DataSet_and_Raw_Data.xlsx from Living in a trash can: turbulent convective flows impair <i>drosophila</i> flight performance

description: Turbulent flows associated with thermal convection are common in areas where the ground is heated by solar radiation, fermentation or other processes. However, it is unknown how these flow instabilities affect the locomotion of small insects, like fruit flies, that inhabit deserts and urban landscapes where surface temperatures can reach extreme values. We quantified flight performance of fruit flies (<i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>) traversing a chamber through still air and turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection cells produced by a vertical temperature gradient. A total of 34% of individuals were unable to reach the end of the chamber in convection, although peak flow speeds were modest relative to typical outdoor airflow. Individuals that were successful in convection were faster fliers and had larger wing areas than those that failed. All flies displayed higher pitch angles and lower mean flight speeds in convection. Successful individuals took longer to cross the chamber in convection, due to lower flight speeds and greater path sinuosity. All individuals displayed higher flapping frequencies in convection, and successful individuals also reduced stroke amplitude. Our results suggest that thermal convection poses a significant challenge for small fliers, resulting in increased travel times and energetic costs, or in some cases precluding insects from traversing these environments entirely.

description: The European Deprivation Index (EDI-PT) was produced for the smallest area unit possible (n=18084 census block groups, mean/area=584 inhabitants) and resulted from the weighted sum of the eight selected variables from 2011 census. It was then categorized into quintiles (Q1-least deprived to Q5-most deprived).

title: Unstoppable climate change? The influence of fatalistic beliefs about climate change on behavioural change and willingness to pay cross-nationally

description: Although climate change is an urgent problem, behavioural and policy responses have not yet been sufficient to either reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions or adapt to a disrupted climate system. Significant efforts have been made to raise public awareness of the dangers posed by climate change. One reason why these efforts might not be sufficient is rooted in people’s need to feel efficacy to solve complex problems; the belief that climate change is unstoppable might thwart action even among the concerned. This paper tests for the effect of fatalistic beliefs on behavioural change and willingness to pay to address climate change using two cross-national surveys representing over 50,000 people in 48 nations. <b>Key policy insights</b>The perception that climate change poses a risk or danger increases the likelihood of behavioural change and willingness to pay to address climate change.The belief that climate change is unstoppable reduces the behavioural and policy response to climate change and moderates risk perception.Communicators and policy leaders should carefully frame climate change as a difficult, yet solvable, problem to circumvent fatalistic beliefs.
