title: Pathways to care and preferences for improving tuberculosis services among tuberculosis patients in Zambia

description: Background: Delays in the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) contribute to a
 substantial proportion of TB-related mortality, especially among people
 living with HIV (PLHIV). We sought to characterize the diagnostic journey
 for HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients with a new TB diagnosis in
 Zambia, to understand drivers of delay, and characterize their preferences
 for service characteristics to inform improvements in TB services.
 Methods: We assessed consecutive adults with newly
 microbiologically-confirmed TB at two public health treatment facilities
 in Lusaka, Zambia. We administered a survey to document critical intervals
 in the TB care pathway (time to initial care-seeking, diagnosis and
 treatment initiation), identify bottlenecks and their reasons. We
 quantified patient preferences for a range of characteristics of health
 services using a discrete choice experiment (DCE) that assessed 7
 attributes (distance, wait times, hours of operation, confidentiality, sex
 of provider, testing incentive, TB test speed and notification method).
 Results: Among 401 patients enrolled (median age of 34 years, 68.7% male,
 46.6% HIV-positive), 60.9% and 39.1% were from a first-level and tertiary
 hospital, respectively. The median time from symptom onset to receipt of
 TB treatment was 5.0 weeks (IQR: 3.6-8.0) and was longer among
 HIV-positive patients seeking care at a tertiary hospital than
 HIV-negative patients (6.4 vs. 4.9 weeks, p=0.002). The time from symptom
 onset to initial presentation for evaluation accounted for the majority of
 time until treatment initiation (median 3.0 weeks, IQR: 1.0-5.0) – an
 important minority of 11.0% of patients delayed care-seeking &gt;=8
 weeks. The DCE found that patients strongly preferred same-day TB test
 results (relative importance, 37.2%), facilities close to home (18.0%),
 and facilities with short wait times (16.9%). Patients were willing to
 travel to a facility up to 7.6 kilometers further away in order to access
 same-day TB test results. Preferences for improving current TB services
 did not differ according to HIV-status. Conclusions: Prolonged intervals
 from TB symptom onset to treatment initiation were common, especially
 among PLHIV, and were driven by delayed health-seeking. Addressing known
 barriers to timely diagnosis and incorporating patients’ preferences into
 TB services, including same-day TB test results, may facilitate earlier TB
 care engagement in high burden settings.

title: Variation in incubation length and hatching asynchrony in Eastern Kingbirds: weather eclipses female effects

description: Incubation length and hatching asynchrony are integral elements of the
 evolved reproductive strategies of birds and here we here quantify intra-
 and interpopulation variation in both traits for Eastern Kingbird
 (Tyrannus tyrannus) populations from New York (NY), Kansas (KS), and
 Oregon (OR). Multiple samples from a subset of females demonstrated that
 neither incubation length nor hatching asynchrony was repeatable, that
 both traits varied with a female trait (clutch size), but that variation
 in both incubation length and hatching asynchrony was to a substantial
 degree linked to weather, namely ambient temperature and precipitation.
 Incubation length exhibited the same median (15 days) and range (13 to 17
 days) at all sites, and model selection results indicated that incubation
 periods were longer in NY than KS, among the smallest and largest
 clutches, when rain was frequent throughout the period when eggs were in
 the nest, in replacement nests, and likely when ambient temperatures were
 low during egg-laying. Full hatching usually required 2 days (but up to
 3), and more synchronous hatching was associated with small clutch size,
 short incubation periods, frequent rain during the egg-laying period, and
 low ambient temperatures during the first half of incubation. Only 5% to
 9% of nestlings starved and starvation was not associated with greater
 hatching asynchrony, indicating the nestling starvation was likely not a
 cost of hatching asynchrony. Thus, although clutch size, a female trait,
 contributed to variation in incubation length and hatching asynchrony,
 weather was a greater source of variation, especially for incubation
 length. Weather thus influences length of exposure of eggs to destructive
 forces (predators and severe weather), and as a consequence, climate
 change has the potential to influence reproductive success.

title: Haploid, diploid, and pooled exome capture recapitulate features of biology and paralogy in two non-model tree species

description: Despite their suitability for studying evolution, many conifer species
 have large and repetitive giga-genomes (16-31Gbp) that create hurdles to
 producing high coverage SNP datasets that capture diversity from across
 the entirety of the genome. Due in part to multiple ancient whole genome
 duplication events, gene family expansion and subsequent evolution
 within Pinaceae, false diversity from the misalignment of paralog
 copies creates further challenges in accurately and reproducibly inferring
 evolutionary history from sequence data. Here, we leverage the cost-saving
 benefits of pool-seq and exome-capture to discover SNPs in two conifer
 species, Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga
 menziesii var. menziesii (Mirb.)
 Franco, Pinaceae) and jack pine (Pinus
 banksiana Lamb., Pinaceae). We show, using minimal
 baseline filtering, that allele frequencies estimated from pooled
 individuals show a strong positive correlation with those estimated by
 sequencing the same population as individuals (r &gt; 0.948), on par
 with such comparisons made in model organisms. Further, we highlight the
 utility of haploid megagametophyte tissue for identifying sites that are
 likely due to misaligned paralogs. Together with additional minor
 filtering, we show that it is possible to remove many of the loci with
 large frequency estimate discrepancies between individual and pooled
 sequencing approaches, improving the correlation further (r &gt;
 0.973). Our work addresses bioinformatic challenges in non-model organisms
 with large and complex genomes, highlights the use of megagametophyte
 tissue for the identification of paralog sites, and suggests the
 combination of pool-seq and exome capture to be robust for further
 evolutionary hypothesis testing in these systems.
description: This data was collected from natural populations. Exome-capture
 pool-seq (20 diploid individuals), individually sequenced (the same
 diploid individuals in pools), and haploid megagametophyte data from a
 single individual was sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq4000 instrument at
 Centre d'expertise et de services Génome Québec, Montréal, Canada.
 Sequence data was processed according to bioinformatic best
 practices.

title: Calculation of times relative to sunset and sunrise for mountain hare Lepus timidus camera trap records Scotland (S1b)

description: The research presented in this paper provides an insight into the
 behavioural ecology of mountain hares on heather moorland in the
 Lammermuir Hills of south east Scotland. We examine the seasonal and diel
 activity patterns using camera traps over a period of 12 months. The rate
 of camera detections was calculated for the different divisions of the 24h
 cycle (daylight, dusk, night and dawn). During autumn and winter (October
 – February), the activity pattern was crepuscular with greater activity at
 dusk than at dawn. Daylight activity was relatively low and there was a
 regular pattern of small peaks of activity during the night. In spring and
 summer (March – September), peaks of crepuscular activity remained evident
 but daylight activity was much more prevalent than during autumn and
 winter, and night activity was lower. We discuss the problematic
 definition of twilight and present an explanation for seasonal changes in
 the pattern of diel activity that is linked to the reproductive cycle of
 the mountain hare.

title: Better left alone: Trying to control pasture grasses in untended rainforest plantings incurs multiple costs and delivers few benefits

description: 1. Rainforest revegetation projects often deliver suboptimal outcomes due
 to the recolonisation of invasive pasture grasses, but little is known
 about the effects of grass reinvasion on the survival and growth of
 established saplings. Even less is known about the costs and benefits of
 controlling pasture grasses once they have reinvaded. 2. To address these
 knowledge gaps, we implemented a split-plot grass control experiment in a
 two-year old subtropical rainforest restoration planting in South East
 Queensland, Australia, that was reinvaded by the exotic pasture grass
 Chloris gayana. 3. Grass removal involved brush cutting around saplings,
 spraying herbicide and then laying 1m2 jute matting. The costs of
 implementing the treatment were recorded and the survival, growth and
 physiological stress of treated and control saplings were monitored for
 one year. 4. Non-target herbicide application reduced survival by 6.5% in
 treated saplings, affecting mainly smaller plants that were below the
 grass canopy at the onset of the experiment. Beyond this direct herbicide
 effect, smaller treated saplings were also more stressed (lower
 chlorophyll fluorescence) and had substantially lower survival after one
 year than untreated saplings of the same size. There was limited evidence
 that removing grass increased growth rates, even for saplings that were
 already taller than the grass canopy at the start of the experiment. 5.
 While the growth benefits of controlling grass may become more apparent
 with time, our results suggest that grass removal is not an effective
 management strategy in untended plantings due to the heightened risk of
 sapling mortality, coupled with the considerable labour and material
 costs.

title: Application of ATLD-MCR to gas chromatography-mass spectrometric data for the quantification of PAHs in aerosols

description: In the work, for the first time, alternating trilinear
 decomposition-assisted multivariate curve resolution (ATLD-MCR) was
 applied to analyse complex gas chromatography–mass spectrometric (GC-MS)
 data with severe baseline drifts, serious co-elution peaks and slight
 retention time shifts for the simultaneous identification and
 quantification of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in aerosols. It
 was also compared with the classic multivariate curve
 resolution-alternating least-squares (MCR-ALS) and the GC-MS-based
 external standard method. In validation samples, average recoveries of
 five PAHs were within the range from (96.2 ± 6.8)% to (106.5 ± 4.1)% for
 ATLD-MCR, near to the results of MCR-ALS ((98.0 ± 1.5)% to (106.7 ±
 4.3)%). In aerosol samples, the concentrations of pyrene provided by
 ATLD-MCR were not significantly different from those of MCR-ALS. The other
 four PAHs including chrysene, benzo[a]anthracene, fluoranthene and
 benzo[b]fluoranthene were not detected by ATLD-MCR and the GC-MS-based
 external standard method. The results of figures of merit further
 demonstrated that ATLD-MCR achieved high sensitivities (8.9 × 104 to 1.7 ×
 106 mAU ml µg−1) and low limits of detection (0.003 to 0.087 µg ml−1),
 which were better than or similar to MCR-ALS, presenting a great choice to
 deal with complex GC-MS data for the simultaneous determination of
 targeted PAHs in aerosols.

title: Fire and functional traits: using functional groups of birds and plants to guide management in fire-prone, heathy woodland ecosystem

description: Aim: Many dry forests and woodlands worldwide are fire-prone and support
 bird and plant communities shaped by fire. Changes in fire regimes,
 including the time between fires, have important implications for
 population trajectories. We studied the responses of bird and plant
 communities of heathy woodlands to time since the last fire, a key measure
 underpinning fire management, to evaluate whether current management
 strategies will enhance conservation of multiple taxa.
 Location: Otway Ranges, south-eastern Australia. Methods: We
 surveyed birds and plants at 38 sites, stratified by an 80-year post-fire
 chronosequence, and modelled the responses of individual species,
 functional groups and community composition to fire history. Model outputs
 were used to evaluate the impacts of fire management as guided by: (1)
 domains of tolerable fire intervals, a concept based on plant life-history
 traits, and (2) the spatial arrangement of post-fire age-classes, a
 surrogate for animal habitats. Results: Bird and plant
 communities both responded to time since fire. Notable relationships
 included: a high reporting rate of ground-foraging birds and high cover of
 shrub-species richness immediately after fire; and a gradual increase up
 to ~50 years and ~20 years post-fire of birds that forage in the midstorey
 and facultative-resprouting plants, respectively. Post-fire age classes
 had distinct bird and plant assemblages. Tolerable fire intervals
 currently used by land managers (min 12 – max 45 years between fires)
 encompassed the peak in richness of most plant functional groups but not
 the preferred habitat of lower-midstorey foraging birds. Main Conclusions:
 Fire management based solely on birds or plants risks population declines
 in other biota. Use of functional groups can help guide strategic
 planning, such as spatial representation of post-fire age-classes across
 the landscape. Maintaining late-successional vegetation will provide
 habitat for several groups of birds, while fire is needed at sufficient
 frequency to prevent loss of plants and ground-foraging birds.
description: Birds were surveyed at 2ha sites across a chronosequence of time
 since fire. Surveys were 20 minutes. ll species seen or heard were
 recorded. The number of survey rounds (out of a total of six/site) during
 which a species was detected is given for each site.
 Plants were surveyed at sites by using three 10m x 10m plots. The
 projected foliage cover of all species was etimated and the mean of the
 three plots is presented for each site.

title: Polyploidy-promoted phenolic metabolism confers the increased competitive ability of Solidago canadensis

description: Allelopathy plays an important role in the successful invasion of alien
 invasive plants. Phenolic compounds are one of the primary classes of
 secondary metabolites with strong allelopathic activities. Polyploidy can
 cause significant effects on the production and yield of plant secondary
 metabolites. However, the effect of allelopathic potential of phenolic
 compounds on the competitiveness of different geographical cytotypes of
 Solidago canadensis remains unknown. We conducted a common garden field
 experiment in the invasive habitat of China to compare the competitive
 ability of native and introduced diploid, tetraploid, and hexaploid S.
 canadensis against intentionally planted local weeds. Results showed that
 introduced tetraploids and hexaploids outcompeted local plants and formed
 a monodominant community due to superior competitive ability. Phenolic
 metabolism analysis showed these populations had a high accumulation of
 total phenolic compounds in aerial parts and rhizosphere soil throughout
 three developmental stages, which contributed to significant allelopathic
 effects on tested weeds. However, diploids and native polyploids showed
 less allelopathic activities due to the low level of total phenolic
 content. Together, these results suggest polyploidization is one of the
 reasons that driving the differentiation of phenolic metabolism in
 different geo-cytotypes of S. canadensis, and the allelopathic abilities
 of introduced polyploids are further enhanced through a post-introduction
 adaptive evolution. Polyploidy-promoted allelopathic potential makes
 introduced polyploids more competitive against local plants than diploids
 and native polyploids, which contribute to its successful invasion.
