title: Sexual Dichromatism is Decoupled from Diversification Over Deep Time in Fishes

description: Sexually selected traits have long been thought to drive diversification,
 but support for this hypothesis has been persistently controversial. In
 fishes, sexually dimorphic coloration is associated with assortative
 mating and speciation among closely related species, as shown in
 now-classic studies. However, it is unclear whether these results can
 generalize to explain diversity patterns across ray-finned fishes, which
 contain the majority of vertebrate species and 96% of fishes. Here, we use
 phylogenetic approaches to test for an association between sexual
 dichromatism and diversification rates (speciation minus extinction) in
 ray-finned fishes. We assembled dichromatism data for 10,898 species, a
 dataset of unprecedented size. We found no difference in diversification
 rates between monochromatic and dichromatic species when including all
 ray-finned fishes. However, at lower phylogenetic scales (within orders
 and families), some intermediate-sized clades did show an effect of
 dichromatism on diversification. Surprisingly, dichromatism could
 significantly increase or decrease diversification rates. Moreover, we
 found no effect in many of the clades initially used to link dichromatism
 to speciation in fishes (e.g. cichlids), or an effect only at shallow
 scales (within subclades). Overall, we show how the effects of
 dichromatism on diversification are highly variable in direction and
 restricted to certain clades and phylogenetic scales.

title: Weekly Changes of Exotic Annual Grasses (EAG) abundance in the Sagebrush Biome, USA, 2024

description: These datasets provide weekly differences of early estimates of 2024 fractional cover for exotic annual grass (EAG) that were released from April to late June. The EAG estimates were publicly released within 7-13 days of the latest satellite observation used for that version. Each weekly release contained five fractional cover maps along with their corresponding confidence maps for: 1) a group of 16 species of EAGs, 2) cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum); 3) Field Brome (Bromus arvensis); 4) medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae); and 5) Sandberg bluegrass (Poa secunda). The datasets presented here are difference maps for the collective group of 16 EAG species. The difference maps were developed by subtracting the previous early estimate of EAG from the current week (for example Week 2 minus Week 1). This release contains nine difference maps from the 10 weekly early estimates of EAG. These weekly difference maps depict the amount and location of EAG abundance change each week.  The geographic coverage includes much of the sagebrush biome classified as shrubs or grassland/herbaceous by the 2021 National Land Cover Database at or below 2350-m elevation. 

Note:
Exotic Annual Grass Week 2 - Week 1 Difference Map was developed by subtracting cover maps created using imagery from no later than April 12 from maps created using imagery no later than April 21.

Exotic Annual Grass Week 3 - Week 2 Difference Map was developed by subtracting cover maps created using imagery from no later than April 19 from maps created using imagery no later than April 26.

Exotic Annual Grass Week 4 - Week 3 Difference Map was developed by subtracting cover maps created using imagery from no later than April 26 from maps created using imagery no later than May 3.

Exotic Annual Grass Week 5 - Week 4 Difference Map was developed by subtracting cover maps created using imagery from no later than May 3 from maps created using imagery no later than May 10.

Exotic Annual Grass Week 6 - Week 5 Difference Map was developed by subtracting cover maps created using imagery from no later than May 10 from maps created using imagery no later than May 18.

title: Rotary catalysis of bovine mitochondrial F1-ATPase studied by single-molecule experiments

description: The reaction scheme of rotary catalysis and the torque generation
 mechanism of bovine mitochondrial F1 (bMF1) were studied in
 single-molecule experiments. Under ATP-saturated concentrations,
 high-speed imaging of single 40 nm gold bead attached to the γ subunit of
 bMF1 showed two types of intervening pauses during the rotation that were
 discriminated by short dwell and long dwell. Using ATPgS as a slowly
 hydrolyzing ATP derivative as well as using a functional mutant bE188D
 with slowed ATP hydrolysis, the two pausing events were distinctively
 identified. Buffer-exchange experiment with a non-hydrolyzable analog
 (AMP-PNP) revealed that the long dwell corresponds to the catalytic dwell,
 i.e. the waiting state for hydrolysis, while it remains elusive which
 catalytic state short pause represents. The angular position of catalytic
 dwell was determined to be at +80° from ATP-binding angle, mostly
 consistent with other F1s. The position of short dwell was found at 50-60°
 from catalytic dwell, i.e. +10-20° from ATP-binding angle. This is a
 distinct difference from human mitochondrial F1 (hMF1) that also shows the
 intervening dwell that probably corresponding to short dwell of bMF1, at
 +65° from binding pause. Furthermore, we conducted ‘stall-and-release’
 experiments with magnetic tweezers to reveal how the binding affinity and
 hydrolysis equilibrium are modulated by the g rotation. Similar to
 thermophilic F1, bMF1 showed a strong exponential increase in ATP affinity
 while the hydrolysis equilibrium did not change significantly. This
 indicates that the ATP binding process generates larger torque than
 hydrolysis process.

title: Domestic Well Vulnerability to Drought Duration and Unsustainable Groundwater Management in California's Central Valley

description: Millions of Californians access drinking water via domestic wells, which
 are vulnerable to drought and unsustainable groundwater management.
 Groundwater overdraft and the possibility of longer drought duration under
 climate change threatens domestic well reliability, yet we lack tools to
 assess the impact of such events. Here, we leverage 943,469 well
 completion reports and 20 years of groundwater elevation data to develop a
 spatially-explicit domestic well failure model covering California's
 Central Valley. Our model successfully reproduces the spatial distribution
 of observed domestic well failures during the severe 2012-2016 drought (n
 = 2,027). Next, the impact of longer drought duration (5 to 8 years) on
 domestic well failure is evaluated, indicating that if the 2012-2016
 drought would have continued into a 6- to 8-year long drought, a total of
 4,037 - 5,460 to 6,538- 8,056 wells would fail. The same drought duration
 scenarios with an intervening wet winter in 2017 lead to an average of 498
 and 738 fewer well failures. Additionally, we map vulnerable wells at high
 failure risk and find that they align with clusters of predicted well
 failures. Lastly, we evaluate how the timing and implementation of
 different projected groundwater management regimes impact groundwater
 levels and thus domestic well failure. When historic overdraft persists
 until 2040, additional domestic well failures range from 5,966 - 10,466
 (depending on the historic period considered). When sustainability is
 achieved progressively between 2020 and 2040, additional well failures
 range from 3,677 - 6,943, and from 1,516 - 2,513 when groundwater is not
 allowed to decline after 2020.

title: Burmorussidae, a new family of parasitic wasps (Insecta: Hymenoptera) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber

description: A new genus and species, Burmorussus mirabilis, is described based on two
 specimens from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber, and considered to be a
 specialized parasitic wasp of wood-living hosts. The new taxon is
 characterized by an orussid-like ocellar crown, big eyes, antennae
 attached well above the clypeus, and antennal grooves or ventral
 transverse frontal carinae absent. Additionally, all legs carry a
 prominent lanceolate lobe on the 3rd tarsomere. A similar structure is
 found, but organized differently, in Recent Orussidae and Stephanidae,
 serving as a part of vibration analyzer. Although sharing some characters
 with families Karatavitidae, Orussidae and Paroryssidae, this new taxon
 cannot be assigned to any of these families. We propose a new monotypic
 family Burmorussidae and assign it to the superfamily Orussoidea. A
 phylogenetic analysis confirms the monophyly of Orussoidea, which occurs a
 sister group to Apocrita

title: A genome-wide linkage map for the house sparrow (Passer domesticus) provides insights into the evolutionary history of the avian genome

description: The house sparrow is an important model species for studying
 physiological, ecological and evolutionary processes in wild populations.
 Here, we present a medium density, genome wide linkage map for house
 sparrow (Passer domesticus) that has aided the assembly of the house
 sparrow reference genome, and that will provide an important resource for
 ongoing mapping of genes controlling important traits in the ecology and
 evolution of this species. Using a custom house sparrow 10K iSelect
 Illumina SNP chip we have assigned 6498 SNPs to 29 autosomal linkage
 groups, based on a mean of 430 informative meioses per SNP. The map was
 constructed by combining the information from linkage with that of the
 physical position of SNPs within scaffold sequences in an iterative
 process. Averaged between the sexes; the linkage map had a total length of
 2004 cM, with a longer map for females (2240 cM) than males (1801 cM).
 Additionally, recombination rates also varied along the chromosomes.
 Comparison of the linkage map to the reference genomes of zebra finch,
 collared flycatcher and chicken, showed a chromosome fusion of the two
 avian chromosomes 8 and 4A in house sparrow. Lastly, information from the
 linkage map was utilized to conduct analysis of linkage disequilibrium
 (LD) in eight populations with different effective population sizes (Ne)
 in order to quantify the background level LD. Together, these results aid
 the design of future association studies, facilitate the development of
 new genomic tools and support the body of research that describes the
 evolution of the avian genome.

title: Parasitization of bats by bat flies (Streblidae) in fragmented habitats

description: Parasites represent a large fraction of the world’s biodiversity. They
 control host population sizes and contribute to ecosystem functioning.
 However, surveys on species diversity rarely include parasitic species.
 Bats often present traits favoring parasite diversity, such as large home
 ranges, long life spans, and large colonies. The most conspicuous bat
 parasites are the highly host specific, blood-sucking bat flies (Diptera:
 Streblidae, Nycteribiidae). Recent studies have found a direct effect of
 habitat alteration on the abundance of bat species. We expected,
 therefore, that changes in the host community in response to anthropogenic
 habitat modification will also result in changes in the associated
 parasite community. We captured bats in three different habitats in
 Central Panama between 2013 and 2015. We recorded information on
 prevalence and intensity of bat fly parasitization of the seven most
 commonly captured bat species. Prevalence and intensity were both
 significantly influenced by roost type, abundance, and host sex and age.
 We found that habitat variables and matrix type significantly influenced
 the prevalence and intensity of parasitization, while the direction of the
 responses were host species- and parasite species-specific. In general,
 roosting conditions and behavior of host bats appear to be fundamental in
 explaining changes in prevalence and intensity of parasitization between
 different habitat types, as bat flies are bound to the roost during their
 reproductive cycle. Habitat alterations affects next to the host community
 composition also the availability of possible roost structures as well as
 microclimatic conditions, which all three reflect in parasitization.

title: Data for: Phytochemical shift from condensed tannins to flavonoids in transgenic Betula pendula decreases consumption and growth but improves growth efficiency of Epirrita autumnata larvae

description: Despite active research, antiherbivore activity of specific plant
 phenolics remains largely unresolved. We constructed silver birch (Betula
 pendula) lines with modified phenolic metabolism to study the effects of
 foliar flavonoids and condensed tannins on consumption and growth of
 larvae of a generalist herbivore, the autumnal moth (Epirrita autumnata).
 We conducted a feeding experiment using birch lines in which expression of
 dihydroflavonol reductase (DFR), anthocyanidin synthase (ANS) or 
 anthocyanidin reductase (ANR) had been decreased by RNA interference.
 Modification-specific effects on plant phenolics, nutrients and phenotype,
 and on larval consumption and growth were analyzed using uni- and
 multivariate methods. Inhibiting DFR expression increased the
 concentration of flavonoids at the expense of condensed tannins, and
 silencing DFR and ANR decreased leaf and plant size. E. autumnata larvae
 consumed on average 82% less of DFRi plants than of unmodified controls,
 suggesting that flavonoids or glandular trichomes deter larval feeding.
 However, larval growth efficiency was highest on low-tannin DFRi plants,
 indicating that condensed tannins (or their monomers) are physiologically
 more harmful than non-tannin flavonoids for E. autumnata larvae. Our
 results show that genetic manipulation of the flavonoid pathway
 in  plants can effectively be used to produce altered phenolic
 profiles required for elucidating the roles of low-molecular weight
 phenolics and condensed tannins in plant–herbivore relationships, and
 suggest that phenolic secondary metabolites participate in regulation of
 plant growth.
description: RNA interference (RNAi) of DFR, ANS and ANR was used to create
 <em>Betula pendula </em>constructs with altered
 phenylpropanoid pathway. Preweighted late-instar <em>Epirrita
 autumnata </em>were allowed to feed on intact <em>Betula
 pendula </em>plants for 48 hours in growth chambers, after which
 their consumption (leaf area lost from plants) and final weight was
 recorded, and plant samples were taken for chemical and morphological
 analyses, after each chamber experiment including the unmodified control
 and 3-4 RNAi replicate lines per construct.

 in growth chambers in eastern Finland. It includes plant chemical and
 morphological parameters and larval parameters (variables described in

title: Data from: Genetic diversity of the rain tree (Albizia saman) in Colombian seasonally dry tropical forest for informing conservation and restoration interventions

description: Albizia saman is a multipurpose tree species of seasonally dry tropical
 forests (SDTFs) of Mesoamerica and northern South America typically
 cultivated in silvopastoral and other agroforestry systems around the
 world, a trend that is bound to increase in light of multimillion hectare
 commitments for forest and landscape restoration. The effective
 conservation and sustainable use of A. saman requires detailed knowledge
 of its genetic diversity across its native distribution range of which
 surprisingly little is known to date. We assessed the genetic diversity
 and structure of A.saman across twelve representative locations of SDTF in
 Colombia, and how they may have been shaped by past climatic changes and
 human influence. We found four different genetic groups which may be the
 result of differentiation due to isolation of populations in pre-glacial
 times. The current distribution and mixture of genetic groups across STDF
 fragments we observed might be the result of range expansion of SDTFs
 during the last glacial period followed by range contraction during the
 Holocene and human-influenced movement of germplasm associated with cattle
 ranching. Despite the fragmented state of the presumed natural A. saman
 stands we sampled we did not find any signs of inbreeding, suggesting that
 gene flow is not jeopardized in humanized landscapes. However, further
 research is needed to assess potential deleterious effects of
 fragmentation on progeny. Climate change is not expected to seriously
 threaten the in situ persistence of A. saman populations and might present
 opportunities for future range expansion. However, the sourcing of
 germplasm for tree planting activities needs to be aligned with the
 genetic affinity of reference populations across the distribution of
 Colombian SDTFs. We identify priority source populations for in situ
 conservation based on their high genetic diversity, lack or limited signs
 of admixture and/or genetic uniqueness.

title: Data from: Engineering bacterial symbionts of nematodes improves biocontrol potential of the western corn rootworm

description: The western corn rootworm (WCR) decimates maize crops worldwide. One
 potential way to control this pest is treatment with entomopathogenic
 nematodes (EPNs) that harbor bacterial symbionts that are pathogenic to
 insects. However, WCR larvae sequester benzoxazinoid secondary metabolites
 that are produced by maize and use them to increase their resistance to
 the nematodes and their symbionts. Here we report that experimental
 evolution and selection for bacterial symbionts that are resistant to
 benzoxazinoids improve the ability of a nematode–symbiont pair to kill WCR
 larvae. We isolated five Photorhabdus symbionts from different nematodes
 and increased their benzoxazinoid resistance through experimental
 evolution. Benzoxazinoid resistance evolved through multiple mechanisms,
 including a mutation in the aquaporin-like channel gene aqpZ. We
 reintroduced benzoxazinoid-resistant Photorhabdus strains into their
 original EPN hosts and identified one nematode–symbiont pair that was able
 to kill benzoxazinoid-sequestering WCR larvae more efficiently. Our
 results suggest that modification of bacterial symbionts might provide a
 generalizable strategy to improve biocontrol of agricultural pests.

title: Variation in the production of plant tissues bearing extrafloral nectaries explains temporal patterns of ant attendance in Amazonian understory plants

description: 1. Information on direct and indirect drivers of temporal variation in
 ant-plant interactions is scarce, compromising our ability to predict the
 functioning of these ecologically important interactions. 2. We
 investigated the roles of precipitation, ant activity, abundance of young
 plant tissues bearing extrafloral nectaries (EFNs), and EFN phenotypes in
 the establishment of EFN-mediated ant-plant interactions throughout the
 year in Amazonia, Brazil. We hypothesized that the frequency of ant-plant
 interactions follows a predictable seasonal pattern, being higher in
 wetter periods, during which plants invest more in the production of new
 plant tissues bearing EFNs, ultimately promoting ant attendance. We
 surveyed and tagged every understory Bignonieae plant rooted inside 28
 500-m² plots, and recorded ant-EFN interactions on each plant five times
 throughout the year. We also sampled ants with honey baits to estimate
 temporal variation in general ant activity. 3. Contrary to our hypothesis,
 the proportion of plants tended by ants in each plot was higher in drier,
 not wetter, months. Ant attendance was indirectly and negatively related
 to precipitation, which was attributed to a decrease in the proportion of
 plants producing new EFN-bearing plant tissues during the wetter period.
 Additionally, seasonal variation in ant activity did not explain temporal
 patterns of plant attendance. At the plant level, ant attendance increased
 strongly with the number of recently formed shoot nodes, and ants almost
 never attended plants with limited or no young tissue. Among the twelve
 most abundant Bignonieae species, the amount of young tissue was the most
 important predictor of ant attendance, secondarily explained by the EFN
 secretory area. 4. Synthesis. Our results suggest that seasonal variation
 in the production of new plant tissues bearing EFNs is the primary driver
 of the temporal patterns of EFN-plant attendance by ants in this system.
 Contrary to our expectations, production of new plant tissue is higher in
 the drier months of the year, which in turn boosts the frequency of
 interactions between ants and EFN-bearing plants in the dry season. These
 results highlight the role of plant phenology in the remarkable variation
 encountered in ant visitation to EFN-bearing plants in both space and
 time.
