title: Future fire-driven landscape changes along a southwestern US elevation gradient

description: Over the 21st century, the combined effects of increased fire activity and
 climate changes are expected to altered forest composition and structure
 in many ecosystems by changing post-fire successional trajectories and
 recovery. The southwestern US mountains encompass varied vegetation types
 and species according to elevation which do not respond the same to
 changing climate and fire regime. Moreover, fire exclusion applied during
 the early 20th century has altered forest structure and fuel loads
 compared to their natural states (i.e. without fire suppression).
 Consequently, uncertainties persist about future vegetation shifts along
 the elevation gradient. In this study, we simulated future vegetation
 dynamics along an elevation gradient in the southwestern US comprising
 pinyon-juniper woodlands, ponderosa pine forests and mixed conifer forests
 for the period 2000-2099, to quantify the effects of future climate
 conditions and projected wildfires on species productivity and
 distribution. While we expected to find larger changes at low elevation
 due to warmer and drier conditions, the largest changes occurred at high
 elevation in mixed-conifer forests and were caused by wildfire. The
 largest increase in high-severity and large fires were recorded in this
 vegetation type, leading to high mortality of the dominant species, Picea
 engelmannii and Abies lasiocarpa, which are not adapted to fire. The loss
 of these two species reduced biomass productivity at high elevation. In
 ponderosa pine forests and pinyon-juniper woodlands, fewer vegetation
 changes occurred due to higher abundance of well-adapted species to fire
 and the lower fuel loads mitigating projected fire activity, respectively.
 Thus, future research should prioritize understanding of the processes
 involved in future vegetation shifts in mixed-conifer forests in order to
 mitigate the risk of loss of diversity specific to high-elevation forests
 and the decrease in biomass productivity, and thus carbon storage
 capacity, of these ecosystems due to wildfires.

title: Data from: The COVID-19 trial finder

description: Clinical trials are the gold standard for generating reliable medical
 evidence, but patient search of relevant trials often suffers from
 information overload. With nearly 700 COVID-19 trials conducted in the
 United States as of August 2020, it is imperative that trial seekers can
 search for COVID-related clinical trials efficiently to enable rapid
 recruitment to these studies. We developed a web application called
 COVID-19 Trial Finder, which facilitates COVID-19 trial search in the
 United States, first by location and radius distance from trial sites,
 then by brief, dynamically-generated medical questions to allow users to
 pre-screen their eligibility for nearby COVID-19 trials with minimum human
 computer interaction. A simulation study using 20 patient case reports
 demonstrates the accuracy and effectiveness of the COVID-19 Trial
 Finder. 
description: The dataset contains 581 structured COVID-19 clinical trials.
 Entities in each trial are extracted and mapped to standard concepts in
 five domains (condition, device, drug, measurement, and procedure)
 following Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) Common Data
 Model (CDM). The mapped concepts are used as semantic tags for trial
 indexing.  Definitions of the dataset columns are described in the README
 file.

title: The strength and form of natural selection on transcript abundance in the wild

description: Gene transcription variation is known to contribute to disease
 susceptibility and adaptation, but we currently know very little about how
 contemporary natural selection shapes transcript abundance. Here, we
 propose a novel analytical framework to quantify the strength and form of
 ongoing natural selection at the transcriptome level in a wild vertebrate.
 We estimated selection on transcript abundance in a cohort of a wild
 salmonid fish (Salmo trutta) affected by an extracellular myxozoan
 parasite (Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae) through mark-recapture field
 sampling and the integration of RNA-seq with classical regression-based
 selection analysis. We show, based on fin transcriptomes of the host, that
 infection by the parasite and subsequent host survival is linked to
 upregulation of mitotic cell cycle process. We also detect a widespread
 signal of disruptive selection on transcripts linked to host immune
 defence, host-pathogen interactions, cellular repair and maintenance. Our
 results provide insights about how selection can be measured at the
 transcriptome level to dissect the molecular mechanisms of contemporary
 natural selection driven by climate change and emerging anthropogenic
 threats. We anticipate that the approach described here will enable
 critical information on the molecular mechanisms and targets of natural
 selection to be obtained in real time.

title: Data from: Microclimate limits thermal behaviour favourable to disease control in a nocturnal amphibian

description: While epizootics increasingly affect wildlife, it remains poorly
 understood how the environment shapes most host-pathogen systems. Here, we
 employ a three-step framework to study microclimate influence on ectotherm
 host thermal behaviour, focusing on amphibian chytridiomycosis in fire
 salamanders (Salamandra salamandra) infected with the fungal pathogen
 Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal). Laboratory trials reveal that
 innate variation in thermal preference, rather than behavioural fever, can
 inhibit infection and facilitate salamander recovery under
 humidity-saturated conditions. Yet, a three-year field study and a
 mesocosm experiment close to the invasive Bsal range show that
 microclimate constraints suppress host thermal behaviour favourable to
 disease control. A final mechanistic model, that estimates range-wide,
 year-round host body temperature relative to local microclimate, suggests
 that these constraints are rule rather than exception. Our results
 demonstrate how amphibian innate host defences against epizootics may
 remain constrained in the wild, which predisposes to range-wide disease
 outbreaks and population declines.
description: The data file contains data on (i) temperature preference of fire
 salamanders <i>Salamandra salamandra</i> measured during
 <i>Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans</i>

title: Data from: The demographic history of micro-endemics: Have rare species always been rare?

description: Extinction has increased as human activities impact ecosystems.
 Conservation assessments for the IUCN red list are a fundamental tool in
 aiding the prevention of further extinction, yet, relatively few species
 have been thoroughly assessed. To increase the efficiency of assessments,
 novel approaches are needed to highlight threatened species that are
 currently data deficient. Many Madagascan plant species currently have
 extremely narrow ranges, but this may not have always been the case. To
 assess this, we used high-throughput DNA sequencing for 2-5 individuals of
 each species - reflecting the paucity of samples available for rare
 species. We estimated effective population size (Ne) for each species and
 compared this to census population (Nc) sizes when known. In each
 case, Ne was an order of magnitude larger
 than Nc – a signature of rapid, recent population
 decline. We then estimated the demographic history of each species,
 tracking changes in Ne over time. Five out of ten
 species displayed significant population declines towards the present
 (68–90% decreases). Our results for palm trees indicate that it is
 possible to predict extinction risk, particularly in the most threatened
 species. We performed simulations to show that our approach has the power
 to detect population decline during the Anthropocene, but performs less
 well when less data is used. Similar declines to those in palms were
 observed in data deficient species or those assessed as of least concern.
 These analyses reveal that Madagascar’s narrow endemics were not always
 rare, having experienced rapid decline in their recent history. Our
 approach offers the opportunity to target species in need of conservation
 assessment with little prior information, particularly in regions where
 human modification of the environment has been rapid.
description: The "fasta_genepop.zip" folder contains outputs of the
 STACKS program "populations" that was run on each of the 10
 species in the study. The output fasta files were used to estimate
 effective population size.   The
 scripts presented here are used in the pipeline to simulate demographic
 declines. "format_sims.sh" runs the
 simulations using "temp_sims.par" as a template (which can be
 run in batches using "batch_sims.sh").
 "fsc26" is the program fastsimcoal2, required for
 simulations.   "haps.sh"
 will generate haplotypes from the simulations output with the help of
 "RAD_Haplotypes.R". Files with the pattern
 dp*.txt are example files that provide parameters to haps.sh
 The output haplotypes can be inserted into an xml file (e.g.
 dp.xml) and used with the software program BEAST.

title: Regional wind patterns likely shape a seasonal migration detour

description: Migrating animals should optimise time and energy use when migrating,
 travelling directly to their destination. Detours from the most direct
 route may arise however because of barriers and weather conditions.
 Identifying how such situations arise from variable weather conditions is
 crucial to understand population response in the light of increased
 anthropogenic climate change. Here we used light-level geolocators to
 follow Cyprus wheatears for their full annual cycle in two separate years
 migrating between Cyprus, over the Mediterranean and the Sahara to winter
 in north-east sub-Saharan Africa. We predicted that any route detours
 would be related to wind conditions experienced during migration. We found
 that spring migration for all birds included an eastern detour, whilst
 autumn migrations were direct across the Sahara. The direct autumn
 migration was likely a consequence of consistent tail-winds, whilst the
 eastern detour in spring is likely to be more efficient given the wind
 conditions which are against a direct route. Such variable migration
 routes shaped by coincidence with prevailing winds are probably common
 suggesting that some birds may be able to adapt to future changes in wind
 conditions.

title: Late-life reproduction in an insect: terminal investment, reproductive restraint or senescence

description: 1. The Terminal Investment, Reproductive Restraint or Senescence theories
 may explain individual late-life patterns of reproduction. The terminal
 investment hypothesis predicts that individuals increase reproductive
 allocation late in life as prospects for future survival decrease. The
 other two hypotheses predict reduced reproduction late in life, but for
 different reasons. Under the Reproductive Restraint hypothesis,
 individuals restrain their reproductive effort to sustain future survival
 and gain more time for reproducing, whereas under the Senescence process,
 reproduction is constrained because of somatic deterioration. While these
 hypotheses imply that reproduction is costly, they should have contrasted
 implications in terms of survival after late reproduction and somatic
 maintenance. 2. Testing these hypotheses requires proper consideration of
 the effects of age-dependent reproductive effort on post-reproduction
 survival and age-related somatic functions. We experimentally tested these
 three hypotheses in females of the mealworm beetle, Tenebrio molitor, an
 iteroparous and income breeder insect. We manipulated their age-specific
 allocation into reproduction and observed the effects of this manipulation
 on their late life- fecundity, post-reproduction survival and
 immunocompetence as a measurement of somatic protection. 3. We found that
 females exhibit age-related declines in fecundity and that this
 reproductive senescence is accelerated by a cost of early reproduction.
 The cost of reproduction had no significant effect on female longevity and
 their ability to survive a bacterial infection, despite that some immune
 cells were depleted by reproduction. We found that female post-infection
 survival deteriorated with age, which could be partly explained by a
 decline in some immune parameters. Importantly, females did not increase
 their reproductive effort late in life at the expense of their late-life
 post-reproduction survival. 4. Late-life reproduction in T. molitor
 females is senescing and not consistent with a terminal investment
 strategy. Rather, our results suggest that females allocate resources
 according to a priority scheme favouring longevity at the expense of
 reproduction, which is in line with the reproductive restraint hypothesis.
 5. Such a priority scheme also shows that a relatively short-lived insect
 can evolve life history strategies hitherto known only in long-lived
 animals. This puts in perspective the role of longevity in the evolution
 of life history strategies.

 which we manipulated reproductions and measured their fecundity and
 longevity.  The file JAE_imunity corresponds to the

title: Telychian Bryozoa, Matrix (Bryozoans from the lower Silurian (Telychian) Hanchiatien Formation from southern Chongqing, South China)

description: Eight bryozoan species are described from the Hanchiatien Formation (lower
 Silurian, Telychian) of southern Chongqing, South China. Four species are
 new: the trepostomes Asperopora sinensis n. sp., Trematopora jiebeiensis
 n. sp., and Trematopora tenuis n. sp., and the fenestrate
 Moorephylloporina parvula n. sp. One species, a cystoporate Hennigopora
 sp. is described in open nomenclature. Moorephylloporina parvula n. sp. is
 eurytopic, occurring in all types of facies within the bioherms. Erect
 Moorephylloporina, Trematopora and Leioclema form pioneering communities
 on weakly cemented substrates, whereas encrusting Fistulipora, Hennigopora
 and Asperopora occur on hardgrounds and form densely compact framestones.
 Robust branched Trematopora and Leioclema tend to occur out of the reef
 core (framework) where they may have formed reef-flank thickets in more
 agitated conditions. The generic composition of the studied fauna
 correlates with other localities in South China, and they show general
 palaeobiogeographic relations to Siberia and Indiana, USA.
