title: Regional differences in leaf evolution facilitate photosynthesis following severe drought

description: &lt;b&gt;Abstract&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Characterizing physiological and anatomical changes that underlie rapid evolution following climatic perturbation can broaden our understanding of how climate change is affecting biodiversity. It can also provide evidence of cryptic adaptation despite stasis at higher levels of biological organization.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here we compared evolutionary changes in populations of &lt;em&gt;Mimulus cardinalis &lt;/em&gt;from historically different climates in the north and south of the species’ range following an exceptional drought. We grew seeds produced from pre-drought ancestral plants alongside peak-drought descendants in a common greenhouse and exposed them to wet and dry conditions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prior to the drought, northern ancestral populations expressed traits contributing to drought escape, while southern ancestral populations expressed drought avoidance. Following the drought, both regions evolved to reduce water loss and maintain photosynthesis in dry treatments (drought avoidance), but via different anatomical alterations in stomata, trichomes, and palisade mesophyll. Additionally, southern populations lost the ability to take advantage of wet conditions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These results reveal rapid evolution towards drought avoidance at an anatomical level following an exceptional drought, but suggest that differences in the mechanisms between regions incur different trade-offs. This sheds light on the importance of characterizing underlying mechanisms for downstream life-history and macromorphological traits.&lt;/p&gt;
description: &lt;b&gt;Methods&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Climate data was collected from ClimateWNA. Seeds of &lt;em&gt;Mimulus cardinalis &lt;/em&gt;(scarlet monkeyflower) were originally field collected prior to a severe drought (2010 and 2011) and during the peak drought (2014 and 2015) that occurred throughout the range . Following a refresher generation, the seeds were grown in a common garden experiment and exposed to either wet or dry treatments. Plants were monitored to maintain a similar drought across all plants. Leaves were sampled with a licor 6800 photosynthetic instrument for physiological traits. The leaves were collected and sectioned to examin leaf cell layers and epidermal peels were made using nail polish to examine leaf surface architecture. Data was directly input into a spreadsheet for anatomical traits. Data from Licor instrument was imported into Excel and cleaned for just the variables of interest using R software.  &lt;/p&gt;

title: Weak local adaptation to climate in seedlings of a deciduous conifer suggests limited benefits and risks of assisted gene flow

description: &lt;b&gt;Abstract&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Assisted migration provides a potential solution to mitigate the increasing risks of forest maladaptation under climate change. Western larch (&lt;em&gt;Larix occidentalis Nutt&lt;/em&gt;.) is a deciduous conifer species undergoing assisted migration beyond its natural range in British Columbia into areas that have become suitable based on climatic niche modelling. We established a seedling common garden experiment in raised beds in a warm location outside the natural range for three growing seasons, with 52 natural populations from across the species range and 28 selectively-bred families from British Columbia. Intraspecific genetic variation in growth, phenology and cold hardiness was analyzed to test for signals of local adaptation and the effects of selective breeding to better understand the implications for assisted migration and breeding for future climates. We found weak differentiation among populations in all traits, with the proportion of additive genetic variance (QST) values ranging from 0.10 to 0.28. Cold hardiness had the weakest population differentiation and exhibited no clines with geographic or climatic variables. Selective breeding for faster growth has maintained genetic variation in bud flush phenology and cold hardiness despite delaying bud set. The weak signals of local adaptation we found in western larch seedlings highlights that assisted gene flow among populations is likely to have limited benefits and risks for mitigating maladaptation with climate change. Our findings suggest that assisted migration outside of the range and selective breeding may be important management strategies for western larch for future climates.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Adaptation of Canadian private forest owners to climate change: questionnaire form, response dataset, and variable description

description: This survey aims at collecting data on private forest owners’ adaptation to climate change throughout Canada. It was divided in six sections: general information on the respondents’ woodlots, past changes in their forest management since 2010, opinions and knowledge on climate change, potential (intended) adaptation of their forest practices to climate change, relationship to the world of forestry in the context of climate change, and socio-demographic questions. We chose the 2010-2022 time span considering the duration of private forests’ management plans, the turnover rate of silvicultural operations in even-aged stands, and individual climate memory.
The questionnaire was made of 33 questions, first formulated in French, then translated into English. A pilot test conducted on a sample of 14 individuals in June and July 2021 led to minor revisions, and the survey was made available from January, 10 to May, 22 2022.
We employed a 7-point Likert scale to measure respondents’ attitudes and opinions throughout the questionnaire. A 7-point scale has been shown to allow for a greater variability of the responses over scales with fewer points, thus leading to a more accurate measure of a respondent’s true views than a 5-point item scale, especially in online-distributed questionnaires (Finstad 2010). Each part of the questionnaire finished with a free comment section to express additional viewpoints or details to previous answers.
Respondents were first asked to read an introduction describing the goal, structure and origin of the questionnaire and to provide their consent to partake in the survey. Prior to answering the first questions, they were verified as Canadian non-industrial private forest owners through a self-report of the provinces or territories on which their forests are located. The survey took approximately 25 min to complete. To avoid dropout problems and encourage participation, respondents who completed the questionnaire were offered a chance for a financial reward (lottery draw).
We uploaded the questionnaire online using the online tool LimeSurvey. To disseminate the survey, we contacted 183 forest owners’ organizations and associations active in the Canadian forest sector and asked them to cast the questionnaire by email, newsletter and online media (e.g., Facebook, Twitter). Follow-up emails were sent out to those associations not answering after a first contact. To create a snowball effect, respondents were asked to forward the hyperlink of the survey to relatives, friends, or colleagues who may be interested to participate in the study. Among the 1030 forest owners who opened the survey link, 611 (59%) provided usable responses.
This research was conducted by Dr. Timothée Fouqueray, postdoctoral researcher at Pr. Jérôme Dupras’ Canada Research Chair in Ecological Economics. It was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the University of Québec en Outaouais (Approval Code: 2022-1765). Written informed consent, was obtained from the participants.

title: Supplemental data for: Relative preference for pecking blocks and its association with keel status and eggshell quality in laying hens housed in enriched cages

description: The files submitted here contains data collected for the thesis titled "Relative preference for pecking blocks and its association with keel status and eggshell quality in laying hens housed in enriched cages." The purpose of this research was to determine pecking block preferences of White and Brown feathered laying hens strains, and if there is a time of day effect on pecking block use. We then investigated the association between pecking block preference, pecking block use, keel status, and eggshell quality. We also investigated if laying hens are consistent in their pecking block preference over time. Data on weekly pecking block disappearance, number of hens using pecking blocks across the day, eggshell quality and keel status in focal birds were also assessed. Data was analyzed using SAS Proc GLIMMIX, and consistency data was analyzed using SAS Proc Freq.

title: Observational fish data for ten important fisheries species across the province of Québec [1970-2021]
title: Données d'observation sur les poissons pour dix espèces de pêche importantes dans la province de Québec [1970-2021]

description: The data covers sampling sites over all of the province of Québec, with more data in the southern regions of the province. Data are from Hydro-Québec and the Québec Ministère de l’Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs (MELCCFP). These datasets include a heterogeneous mix of standardized and non-standardized fish surveys by government biologists and by environmental consulting firms sub-contracted by Hydro-Québec, collected between 1973 and 2021. Overall, 6498 unique sites (3087 sites in lakes, 3412 sites in rivers; reservoirs excluded), were included in the database. For each site, the data consisted of species counts (adult and juvenile life stages), location (latitude and longitude), sampling date, habitat type (lake or river) and fishing gear (three categories: electrofishing, gillnet, or seine). Climate data (means over 1970 to 2000) and elevation were extracted for each site according to the site’s location from the WorldClim website (https://www.worldclim.org/) in 2023; a site which provides global weather and climate data at high spatial resolution. All 19 ‘bioclimatic variables’ provided by WorldClim were obtained from WorldClim raster files (10-min. resolution) using the function extract from the package raster (Hijmans and van Etten 2012). Five weakly-correlated bioclimatic variables were retained: annual means for temperature and precipitation, mean diurnal temperature range, annual temperature range, and precipitation seasonality (coefficient of variation of monthly total precipitation).
