title: Data from: The Triassic Mesophlebiidae, a little closer to the crown of the Odonata (Insecta) than other ‘triassolestids’

description: Two new, subcomplete forewings belonging to the ‘triassolestid
 assemblage’, a group of Triassic stem-relatives of dragon- and damselflies
 (Odonata), are described. One, recovered from Australia (Aranbanga
 Volcanic Group), belongs to Mesophlebia antinodalis Tillyard, 1916,
 previously documented on the basis of two very incomplete wings. The
 other, recovered from South Africa (Molteno Formation), is assigned to a
 new species, Mesophlebia elegans sp. nov. The new data allow a
 reconsideration of the diagnosis of the genus Mesophlebia Tillyard, 1916
 and a re-instatement of the family Mesophlebiidae Tillyard, 1916. Notably,
 the new specimens possess, near the wing base, a posterior lobe absent in
 most ‘triassolestid’ genera, but present in crown-Odonata and a number of
 their stem-relatives. Lobodonata tax. nov. is erected to accommodate
 odonates possessing this lobe. The nature of the ‘vein-like’ element
 anteriorly delimiting this lobe is discussed. We submit that it might have
 been initially composed of an invagination of the posterior wing-margin
 (‘fibula’), which was later captured by AA, imposing its course on CuP.

title: Herbivore-mediated negative frequency-dependent selection underlies a trichome dimorphism in nature

description: Negative frequency-dependent selection (NFDS) has been shown to maintain
 polymorphism in a diverse array of traits. The action of NFDS has been
 confirmed through modelling, experimental approaches, and genetic
 analyses. In this study, we investigated NFDS in the wild using
 morph-frequency changes spanning a 20-year period from over 30 dimorphic
 populations of Datura wrightii. In these populations plants either possess
 glandular (sticky) or non-glandular (velvety) trichomes, and the ratio of
 these morphs varies substantially among populations. Our method provided
 evidence that NFDS, rather than drift or migration, is the primary force
 maintaining this dimorphism. Most populations that were initially
 dimorphic remained dimorphic, and the overall mean and variance in morph
 frequency did not change over time. Furthermore, morph-frequency
 differences were not related to geographic distances. Together, these
 results indicate that neither directional selection, drift, or migration
 played a substantial role in determining morph frequencies. However, as
 predicted by negative frequency-dependent selection, we found that the
 rare morph tended to increase in frequency, leading to a negative
 relationship between the change in the frequency of the sticky morph and
 its initial frequency. In addition, we found that morph-frequency change
 over time was significantly correlated with the damage inflicted by two
 herbivores: Lema daturaphila and Tupiochoris notatus. The latter is a
 specialist on the sticky morph and damage by this herbivore was greatest
 when the sticky morph was common. The reverse was true for L. daturaphila,
 such that damage increased with the frequency of the velvety morph. These
 findings suggest that these herbivores contribute to balancing selection
 on the observed trichome dimorphism.

title: Holocene extinctions of a top predator – effects of time, habitat area and habitat subdivision

description: 1. Loss of habitat and changes in the spatial configuration of habitats
 are major drivers of species extinctions, but the response to these
 drivers differs between organisms. To advance theory on how extinction
 risk from different types of habitat alteration relate to species-specific
 traits, there is a need for studies on the long-term extinction dynamic of
 individual species. 2. The goal of this study was to quantify how habitat
 area and the spatial configuration of habitats affect extinction rate of
 an aquatic top-predator, the northern pike Esox lucius L. 3. We recorded
 presence/absence of northern pike in 398 isolated habitat fragments, each
 one consisting of a number of interconnected lakes. Time since isolation
 of the habitat fragments, caused by cut-off from the main dispersal source
 in the Baltic Sea, varied between 0 and 10 000 years. Using survival
 regression, we analysed how pike population survival was affected by time
 since isolation, habitat size, and habitat subdivision. The approach
 builds on the assumptions that pike colonized all fragments before
 isolation and that current absences result from extinctions. We verified
 these assumptions by testing i) if pike was present in the region
 throughout the entire time period when the lakes formed, and ii) if pike
 typically colonize lakes that are formed today. We also addressed the
 likelihood that unrecorded anthropogenic introductions could bias our
 estimates of extinction rate by creating “false” presences. 4. Our results
 supported the interpretation that current patterns of presence/absence in
 our study system are shaped by extinctions. Further, we found that time
 since isolation and fragment area had strong effects on pike population
 survival. In contrast, spatial habitat subdivision (i.e., if a fragment
 contained few large lakes or many small lakes) and other environmental
 covariates describing climate and productivity, were unrelated to pike
 survival. Over all, extinction rate was high in young fragments and
 decreased sharply with increasing fragment age. 5. Our study demonstrates
 how the link between extinction rate and habitat size and spatial
 structure can be quantified. More similar studies may help us find
 generalizations that can guide management of habitat size and
 connectivity.

title: The ‘algebra of evolution’: the Robertson-Price identity and viability selection for body mass in a wild bird population

description: By the Robertson-Price Identity, the change in a quantitative trait due to
 selection is equal to the trait’s covariance with relative fitness. We
 used a long-term study of superb fairy-wrens Malurus cyaneus to consider
 phenotypic and genetic change within a generation due to juvenile
 viability selection. Mortality in the four-week period between fledging
 and independence was 40%, and heavier nestlings were more likely to
 survive, but why? There was additive genetic variance for both nestling
 mass and survival, and a positive phenotypic covariance between the two
 traits, but no evidence of additive genetic covariance. Comparing
 standardised gradients, the phenotypic selection gradient was positive, βP
 =0.108 (0.036, 0.187 95%CI), whereas the genetic gradient was not
 different from zero, βA = ‑0.025 (‑0.19, 0.107 95%CI). This suggests that
 factors other than nestling mass were the cause of variation in survival.
 In particular, there were temporal correlations between mass and survival
 both within and between years. We suggest that use of the Price Equation
 to describe cross-generational change in the wild may be challenging, but
 a more modest aim of estimating its first term, the Robertson-Price
 Identity, to assess within-generation change can provide valuable insights
 into the processes shaping phenotypic diversity in natural populations.

title: Inference of nonlinear receptive field subunits with spike-triggered clustering

description: Responses of sensory neurons are often modeled using a weighted
 combination of rectified linear subunits. Since these subunits often
 cannot be measured directly, a flexible method is needed to infer their
 properties from the responses of downstream neurons. We present a method
 for maximum likelihood estimation of subunits by soft-clustering
 spike-triggered stimuli, and demonstrate its effectiveness in visual
 neurons. Subunits estimated from parasol retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in
 macaque retina partitioned the receptive field into compact regions,
 likely representing aggregated bipolar cell inputs. Joint clustering
 revealed shared subunits in neighboring RGCs, producing a parsimonious
 population model. Closed-loop validation, using stimuli lying in the null
 space of the linear receptive field, revealed stronger nonlinearities in
 OFF cells than ON cells. Responses to natural images, jittered to emulate
 fixational eye movements, were accurately predicted by the subunit model.
 Finally, the generality of the approach was demonstrated in macaque V1
 neurons.

title: Multivariate stabilizing sexual selection and the evolution of male and female genital morphology in the red flour beetle

description: Male genitals are highly divergent in animals with internal fertilization.
 Most studies attempting to explain this diversity have focussed on testing
 the major hypotheses of genital evolution (the lock-and-key, pleiotropy
 and sexual selection hypotheses) and quantifying the form of selection
 targeting male genitals has played an important role in this endeavour.
 However, we currently know far less about selection targeting female
 genitals or how male and female genitals interact during mating. Here we
 use formal selection analysis to show that genital size and shape is
 subject to strong multivariate stabilizing sexual selection in both sexes
 of the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum. Moreover, we show
 significant sexual selection on the covariance between the sexes for
 specific aspects of genital shape suggesting that male and female
 genitalia also interact to determine the successful transfer of a
 spermatophore during mating. Our work therefore highlights the important
 role that both male and female genital morphology plays in determining
 mating success and that these effects can occur independently, as well as
 through their interaction. Moreover, it cautions against the
 overly-simplistic view that the sexual selection targeting genital
 morphology will always be directional in form and restricted primarily to
 males.

title: Shared response to changes in drainage basin: Phylogeography of the Yunnan Small Narrow-mouthed Frog, Glyphoglossus yunnanensis (Anura: Microhylidae)

description: Aim: With the late Cenozoic uplift of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP),
 drainage of the southeastern edge of the QTP changed significantly.
 However, the impact of this dramatic change on the geographical
 distribution and genetic diversity of endemic organisms is still poorly
 understood. Here, we examined the geographical patterns of genetic
 variation in the Yunnan small narrow-mouthed frog, Glyphoglossus
 yunnanensis (Microhylidae), and two alternative hypotheses were tested:
 that is, the geographical distribution of genetic variation was determined
 by either the contemporary drainage basin or by historical drainage
 basins. Location: the Mountains of Southwest China. Materials and methods:
 Analyses were based on 417 specimens collected from across the
 distribution of the species. We reconstructed the genealogy (Bayesian and
 maximum parsimony methods) and assessed demographic history based on DNA
 sequencing data from mitochondrial and nuclear markers. We also mapped the
 genetic diversity and estimated the divergence times by a relaxed clock
 model. Results: The species has maintained a relatively stable population
 size without recent population expansion. Four major maternal lineages
 were identified with good support, one representing a possible cryptic
 species and the other three showing further subdivision. The distribution
 of these deeply differentiated lineages/sublineages corresponded well to
 geographical regions. The secondary contact zones and phylogeographic
 breaks in distinct lineages of G. yunnanensis were almost concordant with
 those of Nanorana yunnanensis. Main conclusions: Lineage division
 conformed to the hypothesis of drainage system evolution, that is, the
 phylogeographic pattern of G. yunnanensis was shaped by historical
 drainage patterns. Concordance in phylogeographic patterns may suggest a
 shared response to common hydrogeological history, and also might indicate
 that there was more contribution of the drainage history than ecological
 or life history traits in structuring genetic variation between these two
 disparate codistributed taxa G. yunnanensis and N. yunnanensis.

title: Development of Data Dictionary for neonatal intensive care unit: advancement towards a better critical care unit

description: Background: Critical care units (CCUs) with wide use of various monitoring
 devices generate massive data. To utilize the valuable information of
 these devices; data are collected and stored using systems like Clinical
 Information System (CIS), Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS),
 etc. These systems are proprietary in nature, allow limited access to
 their database and have vendor specific clinical implementation. In this
 study we focus on developing an open source web-based meta-data repository
 for CCU representing stay of patient with relevant details. Methods: After
 developing the web-based open source repository we analyzed prospective
 data from two sites for four months for data quality dimensions
 (completeness, timeliness, validity, accuracy and consistency), morbidity
 and clinical outcomes. We used a regression model to highlight the
 significance of practice variations linked with various quality
 indicators. Results: Data dictionary (DD) with 1447 fields (90.39%
 categorical and 9.6% text fields) is presented to cover clinical workflow
 of NICU. The overall quality of 1795 patient days data with respect to
 standard quality dimensions is 87%. The data exhibit 82% completeness, 97%
 accuracy, 91% timeliness and 94% validity in terms of representing CCU
 processes. The data scores only 67% in terms of consistency. Furthermore,
 quality indicator and practice variations are strongly correlated (p-value
 &lt; 0.05). Results: Data dictionary (DD) with 1555 fields (89.6%
 categorical and 11.4% text fields) is presented to cover clinical workflow
 of a CCU. The overall quality of 1795 patient days data with respect to
 standard quality dimensions is 87%. The data exhibit 82% completeness, 97%
 accuracy, 91% timeliness and 94% validity in terms of representing CCU
 processes. The data scores only 67% in terms of consistency. Furthermore,
 quality indicators and practice variations are strongly correlated
 (p-value &lt; 0.05). Conclusion: This study documents DD for
 standardized data collection in CCU. This provides robust data and
 insights for audit purposes and pathways for CCU to target practice
 improvements leading to specific quality improvements.

title: Differences in on-ground and aloft conditions explain seasonally different migration paths in Demoiselle crane

description: Background: Although some migratory birds may take different routes during
 their outbound and inbound migration, the factors causing these
 differential migrations to and from the breeding grounds, have rarely been
 investigated. In Northeast Asia, Demoiselle crane (Anthropoides virgo)
 performs one of the most extreme “loop” migrations known to date. During
 outbound migration, they cross the Himalayas to non-breeding sites in
 northwest India. Contrastingly, during inbound migration to the breeding
 grounds, they fly around the western end of the Himalayas. We hypothesise
 that differences in prevailing environmental conditions aloft and/or
 on-ground during both seasonal migrations are at the core of this
 phenomenon. Methods: Based on the tracking data of 16 individuals of
 tagged Demoiselle crane, we compared conditions during actual migration
 with those of simulated “reverse” migration (i.e. by adding 180 degrees to
 the flight direction and adding and subtracting half a year to the
 timestamps of outbound and inbound migration, respectively). Results: The
 comparison of actual and simulated “reverse” migration indicated that
 cranes would have encountered poorer aloft (wind support and thermal
 uplift) and on-ground conditions (temperature) if they had migrated in a
 reverse outbound migration and poorer on-ground conditions (Normalised
 Difference Vegetation Indexes [NDVI]) if they had migrated in a reverse
 inbound direction. Conclusions: Our analyses suggest that both on-ground
 and aloft conditions play a key role in explaining Demoiselle cranes’ loop
 migration, during the periods that they chose to use these alternative
 routes. Knowledge of the determinants of (differential) migration routes
 allows for predicting migration decisions and may be critical in
 mitigating global change effects on animal migrations.

title: POLITENESS STRATEGIES AND MULTIMODAL EXPRESSION: A CROSS-LINGUISTIC PERSPECTIVE ON ENGLISH AND UZBEK

description: Politeness is a fundamental component of human communication, enabling speakers to maintain social harmony and manage interpersonal relations. This article explores politeness strategies from a multimodal perspective, emphasizing both verbal and nonverbal means of expression. Special attention is given to the concept of face as proposed in pragmatic theory, as well as to the realization of politeness in English and Uzbek. Using a qualitative comparative approach, the study analyzes how linguistic forms, prosody, gestures, facial expressions, and cultural norms interact in polite communication. The findings demonstrate that while politeness principles are universal, their verbal and multimodal realizations are language- and culture-specific. The article contributes to pragmatic linguistics, intercultural communication, and discourse studies.
