title: Investigating Drought–Seismicity Linkages Across Botswana and surrounding areas: Evidence from SPEI and Earthquake Catalogues

description: This dataset integrates climate and seismic records to investigate potential linkages between drought variability and earthquake occurrence across Botswana and its surrounding areas, with particular emphasis on the Okavango Rift Zone. The central hypothesis is that prolonged drought conditions, as captured by the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI), may influence seismic activity through hydrological loading and stress redistribution in the crust. SPEI values were derived from reanalysis and observational climate datasets, calculated at multiple timescales, and aggregated into five‑year bins spanning 1900–2024 to capture long‑term drought variability. In parallel, a harmonized earthquake catalog—compiled from International Seismological Centre was grouped into five‑year bins to enable direct temporal comparison with drought indices.
The dataset highlights Botswana and its neighboring regions as a critical area for studying climate–tectonic interactions in southern Africa. Preliminary analysis shows that periods of severe and prolonged drought often coincide with elevated seismic activity in the Okavango Rift Zone and adjacent areas, suggesting a coupling between hydrological stress and tectonic processes. Notable findings include clustering of moderate‑magnitude earthquakes (Mw ≥ 2.5) during multi‑year drought episodes, and a tendency for seismicity rates to decline during wetter intervals. These patterns underscore the importance of considering climate variability in regional hazard assessments.
Earthquake records include event identifiers, date, time, latitude, longitude, depth, magnitude, and source catalog, while SPEI files present standardized drought indices across multiple timescales. Preprocessing steps involved magnitude homogenization, duplicate removal, and spatial filtering of seismic events, alongside standardized SPEI computation using R-based scripts. The dataset is structured into tabular files (CSV/Excel) with accompanying metadata and scripts to ensure transparency and reproducibility. Potential applications include multi-hazard risk assessment, investigations of climate–tectonic interactions, and educational use in geophysics and climate science. Limitations include variations in seismic catalog completeness and uncertainties in SPEI values, particularly in arid regions.

title: Data for: Characterization of a sperm motility signaling pathway in a gonochoric coral suggests conservation across sexual systems

description: Most stony corals liberate their gametes into the water column via
 broadcast spawning, where fertilization hinges upon the activation of
 directional sperm motility. Sperm from gonochoric and hermaphroditic
 corals display distinct morphological and molecular phenotypes, yet it is
 unknown whether the signaling pathways controlling sperm motility are also
 distinct between these sexual systems. Here, we addressed this knowledge
 gap using the gonochoric broadcast spawning coral Astrangia poculata. We
 found that cytosolic alkalinization of sperm activates the pH-sensing
 enzyme soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC), which is required for motility.
 Additionally, we demonstrate for the first time in any cnidarian that sAC
 activity is necessary for PKA activation, and PKA activity is also
 required for motility. Ultrastructures of A. poculata sperm displayed
 morphological homology with other gonochoric cnidarians, and investigation
 of cnidarian proteomes revealed that sAC exhibits broad structural and
 functional conservation across this phylum. These results indicate a
 conserved role for pH-dependent sAC-PKA signaling in sperm motility across
 coral sexual systems and suggest that the role of this pathway in sperm
 motility is likely ancestral in metazoans. Finally, the dynamics of this
 pH-sensitive pathway may play a critical role in determining the
 sensitivity of marine invertebrate reproduction to anthropogenic ocean
 acidification.

title: The roles of phylogeny, body size and substrate use in trabecular bone variation among Philippine ‘earthworm mice’ (Rodentia: Chrotomyini)

description: Trabecular bone is modelled throughout an animal’s life in response to its
 mechanical environment, but like other skeletal anatomy, it is also
 subject to evolutionary influences. Yet the relative strengths of factors
 that affect trabecular bone architecture are little studied. We
 investigated these influences across the Philippine endemic murine rodent
 clade Chrotomyini. These mammals have robustly established phylogenetic
 relationships, exhibit a range of well-documented substrate-use types, and
 have a body size range spanning several hundred grammes, making them ideal
 for a tractable study of extrinsic and intrinsic influences on trabecular
 bone morphology. We found slight differences in vertebral trabecular bone
 among different substrate-use categories, with more divergent
 characteristics in more ecologically specialized taxa. This suggests that
 the mechanical environment must be relatively extreme to affect trabecular
 bone morphology in small mammals. We also recovered allometric patterns
 that imply that selective pressures on bone may differ between small and
 large mammals. Finally, we found high intrataxonomic variation in
 trabecular bone morphology, but it is not clearly related to any variable
 we measured, and may represent a normal degree of variation in these
 animals rather than a functional trait. Future studies should address how
 this plasticity affects biomechanical properties and performance of the
 skeleton.
description: Scans of murine vertebral columns (museum specimens sourced from
 the Field Museum of Natural History) were collected using a GE phoenix
 v|tome|x µCT scanner. Spherical VOIs were chosen and segmented in ORS
 Dragonfly 2021. Trabecular bone morphological data were collected from
 medullary cavity VOIs using Dragonfly and BoneJ. See publication Methods

title: Shifting environmental predictors of phenotypes under climate change: A case study of growth in high latitude seabirds

description: Climate change is altering species' traits across the globe. To
 predict future trait changes and understand the consequences of those
 changes, we need to know the environmental drivers of phenotypic change.
 In the present study, we use multi-decadal long datasets to determine
 periods of within-year environmental variation that predict growth of
 three seabird species. We evaluate whether these periods changed over time
 and use them to predict future growth under climate change. We find that
 predictions of trait change could be improved by considering that 1) the
 timing of environmental factors used to predict traits
 (predictive-environmental features) can change over time, and 2) the type
 of predictive-environmental features can change over time. We find
 evidence of changes in the timing of environmental predictors in all
 populations studied and evidence for a change in the type of predictor in
 the studied Arctic murre population. Environmental models of growth
 predict that warming conditions will decrease growth rates and bird body
 sizes in two species (black-legged kittiwakem Rissa tridactyla, and
 glaucous-winged gullm Larus glaucescens), but not the third (thick-billed
 murrem Uria lomvia). Consequently, climate change is likely to decrease
 fledging rates in the gulls and kittiwakes. Further, we find that
 ice-cover historically predicted murre chick growth well, but no longer
 does – instead air temperature is now a better predictor of murre growth.
 Our study highlights a need to investigate whether environmental
 determinants of trait variation commonly shift in a changing climate and
 whether such changes have implications for adaptation to novel
 environments.

title: Data from: Morphometrics and phylogenomics reveal a new species of Heuchera (Saxifragaceae) in northeastern México

description: Here I describe a new species narrowly endemic to high-altitude limestone
 outcrops of the Sierra Madre Oriental, Coahuila, Mexico, together with a
 phylogenomic and morphometric evaluation of the Heuchera species of
 northeastern Mexico. Originally thought to be a disjunct population of
 Heuchera sanguinea, the new species is phylogenetically and
 morphologically most similar to Heuchera lakelae; from which it is
 distinguished based on morphometric characters and other morphological
 attributes, phylogenetic placement, geographic range, phenology, and
 ecological preferences.

title: Divergent Immunomodulatory Properties of Milk Proteins from Gannan Yak, Cattle-yak, and Holstein Cattle: Insights from a Comparative Proteomics and Murine Model Study

description: This supplementary dataset supports a comparative proteomic study investigating the immunomodulatory potential of milk proteins from three bovine groups: Gannan yak (Bos grunniens), Gannan cattle-yak (hybrid), and Holstein cattle (Bos taurus). The research hypothesis posited that their distinct genetic backgrounds would result in significantly different milk protein compositions, particularly in immune-related proteins, which could translate into varied immunoregulatory functions.
 The data provided here includes processed results from the proteomic analysis that directly inform the study's immunological focus. Table S1 and S2 list the top 30 high-abundance proteins in cattle-yak and Holstein milk, respectively, serving as a baseline to identify key constitutive immune proteins within each milk type. Table S3 is central to the hypothesis, listing the top 20 proteins significantly down-regulated in cattle-yak milk compared to yak milk; this list is prioritized for subsequent enrichment analysis to identify depleted immune pathways in the hybrid. Figure S1 offers quality control (SDS-PAGE, protein/peptide distributions) validating the proteomic depth for reliable comparison. Figure S2, a clustering heatmap of the CYMP vs. YMP comparison, visually confirms the distinct proteomic profiles that underpin the differential immune protein abundance.
 The data demonstrates distinct immune-related protein signatures among the three milk types, but similar signature between YMP and CYMP. The identified differentially abundant proteins, form the molecular basis for the study's subsequent in vivo animal experiments designed to compare the immune regulatory capabilities of the three milk protein isolates. It enables reuse for meta-analyses on milk proteins, candidate biomarker verification, and as a reference for designing functional studies on bovine milk bioactivity.
 Data were generated from milk samples (n=3 per group). Proteins were extracted, digested, and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. The processed data presented here was used for comparative abundance analysis to inform targeted immunological investigation and downstream animal study design.

title: The Regional Western Sweden SOM Survey 1993
title: Den västsvenska SOM-undersökningen 1993
title: Väst-SOM 1993

description: This is the second study in the series of SOM-surveys carried out in Western Sweden exclusively. The questionnaire was divided into six subject fields: mass media; politics and society; the municipality of Göteborg; energy, nuclear power and environment; leisure and housing; and background. Many of the questions are replications of questions asked in SOM-survey Western Sweden 1992 (SSD 0460), but there is also a number of new questions. These questions dealt with time spent listening to the radio, viewing morning television and reading morning paper; impression of morning television; amount of local government issues read in the local paper; confidence in a number of Swedish mass media; opinion on a number of statements concerning the regional division of Sweden. Respondents living in Göteborg had to answer a number of questions dealing with the magazine ´Vårt Göteborg´, published by Göteborg local authority. Other questions specific for respondents living in Göteborg dealt with the neighbourhood committees and their activities. Respondents also had to give their opinion on a number of proposals concerning local environmental issues. Furthermore they had to indicate how often they had participated in a number of leisure activities the last twelve months.

Purpose:
