title: Green spectrofluorimetric assay of dantrolene sodium via reduction method: application to content uniformity testing

description: The green analysis has turned out to be of a great value in all areas,
 including pharmaceutical analysis. Thus, it is extremely important to
 consider the environmental influence of each step in developing any
 analysis technique.  The present work illustrates a validated,
 simple and green spectrofluorimetric method for the analysis of dantrolene
 sodium. The developed process is characterized by being of high
 sensitivity as well as being relatively inexpensive. The suggested
 technique based on the formation of a highly fluorescent product of
 dantrolene sodium via its reduction by the aid of Zn/HCl system. The
 resulting fluorophore showed a powerful fluorescence at λem 344 nm after
 excitation at λex 279 nm. Calibration graph revealed a great linear
 regression (r = 0.9998) within concentration ranging from 0.05 to 2.0 µg
 mL−1. The suggested method had a very low detection and quantification
 limit of 0.007 ng mL−1 and 0.019 ng mL−1, respectively. The applied
 technique was effectively used in the determination of dantrolene sodium
 in its pharmaceutical preparations. The results were compared with those
 from using the official USP method and they were in a good agreement.
 Moreover, content uniformity testing of dantrolene sodium in capsules was
 performed adopting the investigated technique with satisfying results. The
 greenness of the suggested technique was confirmed by the three standard
 assessment tools. Therefore, the developed technique can be used in the
 routine quality control analysis of dantrolene sodium with minimum harmful
 impact on nature or individuals.

title: Mitochondrial polymorphism shapes intrapopulation behavioural variation in wild Drosophila

description: Intrapopulation variation in personality, including activity, boldness,
 and aggressiveness, is becoming more widely recognised and is hypothesised
 to substantially affect ecological and evolutionary dynamics. Although
 previous studies utilised candidate-gene approaches and genome-wide
 association analyses to identify genes correlated with variations in
 activity and aggressiveness, personality variation may not be fully
 captured in the nuclear genome, as it does not account for mitochondrial
 genomes. Mitochondrial genes encode products that are key regulators of
 the cellular energy-producing pathways in metabolic processes and are
 thought to play a significant role in life history and reproductive
 traits. In this study, we considered many isofemale lines of Drosophila
 immigrans established from two wild populations to investigate whether
 intrapopulation variation in the mitochondrial genome affected activity
 level within this species. We identified two major haplogroups in these
 populations, and activity levels in both larvae and adults differed
 significantly between the two haplogroups. This result indicated that
 intrapopulation activity level may be partially controlled by
 mitochondrial genes, along with the interaction between nuclear and
 mitochondrial genes and the age of individual organisms.

title: Behavioural repertoire of high-shore littorinid snails reveals novel adaptations to an extreme environment

description: Species that inhabit high-shore environments on rocky shores survive
 prolonged periods of emersion and thermal stress. Using two Hong Kong
 high-shore littorinids (Echinolittorina malaccana and E. radiata) as
 models, we examined their behavioural repertoire to survive these variable
 and extreme conditions. Environmental temperatures ranged from 4
 ℃ in the cool season to 55.5 ℃ in the hot season, with
 strong seasonal and daily fluctuations. In the hot season, both species
 allocated &gt;35 % of their activity budgets to stress-mitigating
 thermoregulatory behaviours (e.g. standing, towering) and relatively small
 proportions to foraging (&lt;20%) and reproduction (&lt;10%). In
 the assumedly benign cool season, greater proportions (&gt;70%) of
 activity budgets were allocated to stress mitigation behaviours (crevice
 occupation, aggregation formation). Both species exhibited multifunctional
 behaviours that optimised time use during their tidally-constrained
 activity window in the hot season. Females mated while foraging when awash
 by the rising tide, and some males crawled on top of females prior to
 ceasing movement to form 'towers', which have both
 thermoregulatory benefits and reduce searching time for mates during
 subsequent activity. The function of such behaviours varies in a
 state-dependent manner, for example, the function of trail following
 changes over an activity cycle from mate searching on rising tides, to
 stress mitigation on falling tides (aiding aggregation formation), and to
 both functions through tower formation just before movement stops. Many of
 these behavioural responses are, therefore, multifunctional and can vary
 according to local conditions, allowing snails in this family to
 successfully colonize the extreme high-shore environment.

title: Costly mating delays drive female ornamentation in a capital breeder full dataset

description: The data is related to experiments on glow-worms (L. noctiluca), where we
 studied the effect of stressing and mating delays on signalling effort.We
 address how fecundity might be traded off with mate attraction and other
 aspects of reproduction in females remains poorly understood. We
 investigated these allocation trade-offs using the common glow-worm
 (Lampyris noctiluca), a lampyrid beetle in which flightless, sedentary
 females only use resources gathered during the larval stage to attract
 flying males by glowing. While sexual signalling was not found to have a
 significant fecundity cost, a delay in successfully attracting a mate
 greatly increased the risk of reproductive failure, with fecundity losses
 being more severe in small females. These findings are among the first to
 show that failure to quickly attract a mate can decrease female fecundity.
 The results also show how the length of delay before mating can drive the
 evolution of female sexual ornamentation.
description: Data collected through observation of glow-worms in laboratory
 conditions. The full methods are described in the related research
 article.

title: Experimental field evidence shows milkweed contaminated with a common neonicotinoid decreases larval survival of monarch butterflies

description: 1. Neonicotinoid insecticides are the most widely used class of
 insecticides in the world and can have both lethal and sub-lethal effects
 on non-target organisms in agricultural areas. Monarch butterflies (Danaus
 plexippus) have experienced dramatic declines in recent decades and, given
 that a large proportion of milkweed on the landscape grows in agricultural
 areas, there is concern about the negative effects of neonicotinoids on
 this non-target insect. 2. In the field, we exposed common milkweed
 (Asclepias syriaca), an obligate host plant of monarch butterflies, to
 agriculturally-realistic levels of clothianidin, a widely used
 neonicotinoid insecticide. We tested whether this treatment influenced the
 number of eggs laid and larval survival over two years. 3. Milkweeds were
 transplanted into 60 experimental plots alongside a corn crop planted with
 a clothianidin seed-coat and 60 control plots alongside an untreated corn
 crop. The number of eggs, larvae at each stage (first–fifth instar), and
 presence of other arthropods were recorded weekly from June to the end of
 August and survival from egg to fifth instar was estimated using a
 Bayesian state-space statistical model. 4. We counted more eggs in treated
 plots compared to control plots, suggesting a preference for treated
 milkweed. The number of plots with arthropods did not differ between
 treatments, but within treated plots, there was a greater decrease in the
 number of arthropods throughout the season. There was no evidence that
 monarchs selected plots with fewer arthropods for oviposition. Larval
 survival was lower in clothianidin-treated plots compared to control
 plots. 5. Our results suggest milkweed near clothianidin-treated crops can
 reduce larval survival of monarch butterflies. While we provide some
 evidence that clothianidin could also act as an ecological trap for this
 species, further work is needed to identify additional components of
 fitness, including individual egg-laying rates and survival beyond the
 pupal stage. Our findings add to a growing body of evidence that
 neonicotinoids can negatively affect non-target organisms.

title: High tree diversity enhances light interception in tropical forests

description: We used two forest plantation experiments, the Sardinilla site in
 Panama (containing monocultures, 2-, 3- and 5-species mixtures in
 the main plantation, established in 2001, and 6-, 9- and18-species
 mixtures in the high-diversity plantation, established in 2003), and
 the Anhembi site in Brazil (established in 2006, containing 20-,
 58- and 114-species mixtures), to investigate the effects
 of forest tree richness on the amount and distribution
 (horizontal, vertical and temporal) of intercepted ligh (red:far-red ratio
 - R:FR - for Sardinilla and intercepted photosynthetically active
 radiation - iPAR - for Anhembi). At the
 Sardinilla site, light interception was higher
 in 5-species mixtures than in 2- or 3-species mixtures, and all
 mixtures presented higher light interception than monocultures. At
 the Anhembi site, during the dry season, 20-, 58- and 114-species
 mixtures, respectively, presented increasing light interception. However,
 during the rainy season, 58- and 114- species mixtures did not present
 significant differences in light interception. Overall, the
 distribution of intercepted light was less variable over the (horizontal
 and vertical) space and time at higher richness levels (except for
 vertical distribution of R:FR at the
 Sardinilla site's high-diversity plantation).

title: Dataset for: Fast retreat of Pope, Smith, and Kohler glaciers in West Antarctica observed by satellite interferometry

description: Pope, Smith, and Kohler glaciers, in the Amundsen Sea Embayment of West
 Antarctica, have experienced enhanced ocean-induced ice-shelf melt,
 glacier acceleration, ice thinning, and grounding line retreat in the past
 thirty years, in a glaciological setting with retrograde bedrock slopes
 conducive to marine ice sheet instability. Here we present observations of
 the grounding line retreat of these glaciers since 2014 using a
 constellation of interferometric radar satellites with a short revisit
 cycle combined with precision surface elevation data. We find that the
 glacier grounding lines develop spatially-variable, km-sized,
 tidally-induced migration zones. After correction for tidal effects, we
 detect a sustained pattern of retreat coincident with high melt rates of
 un-grounded ice, marked by episodes of more rapid retreat. In 2017, Pope
 Glacier retreated 3.5 km in 3.6 months, or 11.7 km/yr. In 2016-2018, Smith
 West retreated at 2 km/yr and Kohler at 1.3
 km/yr.  While the retreat slowed down in 2018-2020,
 these retreat rates are faster than anticipated by numerical models on
 yearly time scales. We hypothesize that the rapid retreat is caused by
 un-represented, vigorous ice-ocean interactions acting within newly-formed
 cavities at the ice-ocean boundary.

title: Genomic prediction for growth using a low-density SNP panel in dromedary camels

description: For thousands of years, camels have produced meat, milk, and fiber in
 harsh desert conditions. For a sustainable development to provide protein
 resources from desert areas, it is necessary to pay attention to genetic
 improvement in camel breeding. By using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS)
 method we produced over 14,500 genome wide markers to conduct a genome-
 wide association study (GWAS) for investigating the birth weight, daily
 gain, and body weight of 96 dromedaries in the Iranian central desert. A
 total of 99 SNPs were associated with birth weight, daily gain, and body
 weight (p-value &lt; 0.002). Genomic breeding values (GEBVs) were
 estimated with the BGLR package using (i) all 14,522 SNPs and (ii) the 99
 SNPs by GWAS. Twenty-eight SNPs were associated with birth weight, daily
 gain, and body weight (p-value &lt; 0.001). Annotation of the genomic
 region (s) within ± 100 kb of the associated SNPs facilitated
 prediction of 36 candidate genes. The accuracy of GEBVs was more than 0.65
 based on all 14,522 SNPs, but the regression coefficients for birth
 weight, daily gain, and body weight were 0.39, 0.20, and 0.23,
 respectively. Because of low sample size, the GEBVs were predicted using
 the associated SNPs from GWAS. The accuracy of GEBVs based on the 99
 associated SNPs was 0.62, 0.82, and 0.57 for birth weight, daily gain, and
 body weight. This report is the first GWAS using GBS on dromedary camels
 and identifies markers associated with growth traits that could help to
 plan breeding program to genetic improvement. Further researches using
 larger sample size and collaboration of the camel farmers and more
 profound understanding will permit verification of the associated SNPs
 identified in this project. The preliminary results of study show that
 genomic selection could be the appropriate way to genetic improvement of
 body weight in dromedary camels, which is challenging due to a long
 generation interval, seasonal reproduction, and lack of records and
 pedigrees.  
description: The samples were genotyped-by-sequencing using two restriction
 enzymes combination, EcoR1 and HinF1 (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA,
 USA), and paired-end (150 bp) sequencing (10 X) on the Illumina HiSeq 2000
 platform by Persian Bayangene Research and Training Center (Shiraz,
 Iran). The sequence reads were mapped to the dromedary
 reference genome assembly on chromosome level (GCA_000803125.3;[1]) by
 using the BWA-MEM algorithm of Burrows–Wheeler Aligner
 (BWA)<sup>22</sup>;. PCR duplicates were detected by utilizing
 Picard tools and disregarded in downstream analyses both by
 GATK<sup>23</sup> and SAMtools<sup>24</sup>. SNPs
 were called across the GBS data using GATK.

title: California Drinking Water Source Assessment Program – UC Davis Information Center for the Environment

description: The California Drinking Water Source Assessment Program (DWSAP) was
 developed by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to provide
 information to communities that wish to develop local programs to protect
 their sources of drinking water. ICE was contracted with CDPH in 1999 to
 provide a wide range of technical services in support of this program,
 including the development of a statewide, standardized protocol to GPS all
 drinking water sources and treatment facilities in the state, training of
 CDPH and local government staff to implement this protocol, and the
 development of several software applications to facilitate this mapping
 effort and the assessment of vulnerability of each drinking water source.

title: Effects of restoration strategies on vegetation establishment in retired cranberry bogs

description: The wetlands of the New Jersey Pine Barrens (USA) have historically been
 utilized for large-scale cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) farming. In
 2003, 3800 hectares of retired cranberry farm became the focus of
 restoration efforts by the New Jersey Conservation Foundation with the
 goal of returning much of its 2000 hectares of wetlands to the previous
 condition as Atlantic white cedar (Chamaecyparis thoides) swamp. Two
 different agricultural strategies had previously been employed throughout
 the farm: traditional- minimal soil and hydrological modification, and
 modernized- intensive management with soil replacement and major
 hydrological modification. During restoration, three different strategies
 were employed: hydrological restoration only, hydrological restoration
 with microtopographic modification, and hydrological restoration with
 microtopographic modification and planting of C. thyoides. The purpose of
 our study was to examine the effects of these strategies on vegetation
 establishment a decade after restoration was initiated. Replicate nested
 quadrats were established at each study site, and vegetation was surveyed
 in both June and August of 2017. All restoration strategies produced
 robust plant assemblages with similar diversity and quality to each other
 and to the reference sites. However, the assemblages were set apart by
 their unique indicator species. Our results also suggest that planting
 Atlantic white cedar seedlings may give the species selective advantage in
 a competitive successional setting. According to NMDS ordination, plant
 assemblages at restored sites were significantly different from reference
 sites; only continued monitoring will allow us to determine where their
 successional paths will lead. This study has important implications for
 future restoration projects in the New Jersey Pine Barrens and similar
 ecosystems, especially because the results suggest that as long as
 hydrological restoration occurs, this can promote the establishment of
 robust, diverse, and relatively high-quality plant assemblages.

title: Data from: Climate shapes the geographic distribution and introgressive spread of colour ornamentation in common wall lizards

description: Climate can exert an effect on the strength of sexual selection, but
 empirical evidence is limited. Here, we tested if climate predicts the
 geographic distribution and introgressive spread of sexually selected male
 colour ornamentation across 114 populations of the common wall lizard,
 Podarcis muralis. Colouration was highly structured across the landscape,
 and did not reflect genetic differentiation. Instead, colour ornamentation
 was consistently exaggerated in hot and dry environments, suggesting that
 climate-driven selection maintains geographic variation in spite of gene
 flow. Introgression of colour ornamentation into a distantly related
 lineage appears to be ongoing and was particularly pronounced in warm
 climates with wet winters and dry summers. Combined, these results suggest
 that sexual ornamentation is consistently favoured in climates that allow
 a prolonged reproductive season and high and reliable opportunities for
 lizard activity. This pattern corroborates theoretical predictions that
 such climatic conditions reduce the temporal clustering of receptive
 females and increase male-male competition, resulting in strong sexual
 selection. In summary, we provide compelling evidence for the importance
 of climate for the evolution of colour ornamentation, and demonstrate that
 geographic variation in the strength of sexual selection influences
 introgression of this phenotype.

title: Data from: Prediction model for aerodynamic coefficients of iced quad bundle conductors based on machine learning method

description: The lift, drag and torsional moment coefficients, versus wind attack angle
 of iced quad bundle conductors in the cases of different conductor
 structure, ice and wind parameters are numerically simulated and
 investigated. With the Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) and numerical
 simulation, sampling points are designed and datasets are created. Set the
 number of sub-conductors, wind attack angle, bundle spacing, ice accretion
 angle, ice thickness, wind velocity and diameter of conductor as the input
 variables, a prediction model for the lift, drag and moment coefficients
 of iced quad bundle conductors is created, trained and tested based on the
 dataset and extra-trees algorithm. The final integrated prediction model
 is further validated by applying the aerodynamic coefficients from the
 prediction model and numerical simulation respectively to analyze the
 galloping features. The developed efficient prediction model for the
 aerodynamic coefficients of iced quad bundle conductors plays an important
 role in the quick investigation, prediction and early warning of
 galloping.
