title: EASTERN IMAGERY IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLISH POETRY

description: The eighteenth century witnessed a significant expansion of English literary engagement with the East, particularly in poetry, where Oriental imagery became a powerful aesthetic, philosophical, and symbolic resource. This article examines the representation and function of Eastern motifs in the poetry of Thomas Gray, William Collins, and selected contemporaries, situating their work within the broader cultural context of Enlightenment curiosity, imperial expansion, and early Orientalist discourse. Through close textual analysis, the study explores how Eastern imagery was employed not merely as exotic ornamentation, but as a means of interrogating emotion, imagination, morality, and the limits of rationalism. By drawing on Persian, Arabic, and Asian symbolic traditions—often filtered through translations, travel literature, and classical analogies—eighteenth-century poets reshaped English poetic language and sensibility. The article argues that Oriental imagery in this period functioned as a transitional aesthetic bridge between neoclassical restraint and Romantic emotional depth, contributing to the evolution of English poetic forms and themes.

title: Data from: Genotyping-by-sequencing illuminates high levels of divergence among sympatric forms of coregonines in the Laurentian Great Lakes

description: Effective resource management depends on our ability to partition
 diversity into biologically meaningful units. Recent evolutionary
 divergence, however, can often lead to ambiguity in morphological and
 genetic differentiation, complicating the delineation of valid
 conservation units. Such is the case with the “coregonine problem,” where
 recent post-glacial radiations of coregonines into lacustrine habitats
 resulted in the evolution of numerous species flocks, often with ambiguous
 taxonomy. The application of genomics methods is beginning to shed light
 on this problem and the evolutionary mechanisms underlying divergence in
 these ecologically and economically important fishes. Here, we used
 restriction site-associated DNA (RAD) sequencing to examine genetic
 diversity and differentiation among sympatric forms in the Coregonus
 artedi complex in the Apostle Islands of Lake Superior, the largest lake
 in the Laurentian Great Lakes. Using 29,068 SNPs, we were able to clearly
 distinguish among the three most common forms for the first time, as well
 as identify putative hybrids and potentially mis-identified specimens.
 Population assignment rates for these forms using our RAD data were
 93-100% with the only mis-assignments arising from putative hybrids, an
 improvement from 62-77% using microsatellites. Estimates of pairwise
 differentiation (FST: 0.045-0.056) were large given the detection of
 hybrids, suggesting that reduced fitness of hybrid individuals may be a
 potential mechanism for the maintenance of differentiation. We also used a
 newly built C. artedi linkage map to look for islands of genetic
 divergence among forms and found widespread differentiation across the
 genome, a pattern indicative of long-term drift, suggesting that these
 forms have been reproductively isolated for a substantial amount of time.
 The results of this study provide valuable information that can be applied
 to develop well-informed management strategies and stress the importance
 of re-evaluating conservation units with genomic tools to ensure they
 accurately reflect species diversity.

title: Tree phenology and abiotic variables 1998-2017 at Ngogo, Kibale National Park, Uganda

description: Fruit production in tropical forests varies considerably in space and
 time, with important implications for frugivorous consumers.
 Characterizing temporal variation in forest productivity is thus critical
 for understanding adaptations of tropical forest frugivores, yet long-term
 phenology data from the tropics, in particular from African forests, are
 still scarce. Similarly, as the abiotic factors driving phenology in the
 tropics are predicted to change with a warming climate, studies
 documenting the relationship between climatic variables and fruit
 production are increasingly important.  Here we present data from
 19 years of monitoring the phenology of 20 tree species at Ngogo in Kibale
 National Park, Uganda. Our aims were to characterize short- and long-term
 trends in productivity and to understand the abiotic factors driving
 temporal variability in fruit production. Short-term (month-to-month)
 variability in fruiting was relatively low at Ngogo, and overall fruit
 production increased significantly through the first half of the study.
 Among the abiotic variables we expected to influence phenology patterns
 (including rainfall, solar irradiance, and average temperature), only
 average temperature was a significant predictor of monthly fruit
 production. We discuss these findings as they relate to the resource base
 of the frugivorous vertebrate community inhabiting Ngogo.
description: Fruit presence was monitored monthly between 1998 and 2017 in 717
 trees located along a permanent phenology trail. 400 of these trees
 belonging to species of importance in the diet of chimpanzees and other
 frugivores were analyzed in this study. We calculated, for each month of
 the study, a ripe fruit score (RFS), based on a combination of the
 percentage of stems of species <em>X </em>fruiting in
 month <em>i </em>and the density of species
 <i>X </i>in the habitat. Details of this methodology can be
 found in the accompanying paper. We gathered rainfall and temperature data
 directly in the research camp during each morning of the study period. We
 obtained irradiance data for the Ngogo research site from the Helio-Clim3
 Database of Daily Solar Irradiance (maintained by MINES ParisTech-Armines;

title: Assessing the impact of incomplete species sampling on estimates of speciation and extinction rates

description: Estimating speciation and extinction rates is essential for understanding
 past and present biodiversity, but is challenging given the incompleteness
 of the rock and fossil records. Interest in this topic has led to a
 divergent suite of independent methods—paleontological estimates based on
 sampled stratigraphic ranges and phylogenetic estimates based on the
 observed branching times in a given phylogeny of living species. The
 fossilized birth–death (FBD) process is a model that explicitly recognizes
 that the branching events in a phylogenetic tree and sampled fossils were
 generated by the same underlying diversification process. A crucial
 advantage of this model is that it incorporates the possibility that some
 species may never be sampled. Here, we present an FBD model that estimates
 tree-wide diversification rates from stratigraphic range data when the
 underlying phylogeny of the fossil taxa may be unknown. The model can be
 applied when only occurrence data for taxonomically identified fossils are
 available, but still accounts for the incomplete phylogenetic structure of
 the data. We tested this new model using simulations and focused on how
 inferences are impacted by incomplete fossil recovery. We compared our
 approach with a phylogenetic model that does not incorporate incomplete
 species sampling and to three fossil-based alternatives for estimating
 diversification rates, including the widely implemented boundary-crosser
 and three-timer methods. The results of our simulations demonstrate that
 estimates under the FBD model are robust and more accurate than the
 alternative methods, particularly when fossil data are sparse, as the FBD
 model incorporates incomplete species sampling explicitly.

title: Livestock and kangaroo grazing have little effect on biomass and fuel hazard in semi-arid woodlands

description: Using livestock grazing as a tool to manage biomass and reduce fuel hazard
 has gained widespread popularity, but examples from across the globe
 demonstrate that it often yields mixed, context-dependent results. Grazing
 has potential to deliver practical solutions in systems where grazing
 reduces not only biomass but also reduces fuel hazard by altering
 vegetation connectivity or composition. We assessed the extent to which
 recent rainfall, rabbit and kangaroo grazing and recent and historic
 livestock grazing alters and accounts for variation in above-ground
 biomass, biomass composition and fuel hazard ratings across three broad
 communities in eastern Australia. We used nested linear models to assess
 biomass in three vertical vegetation strata, that matched the strata
 assessed in the Overall Fuel Hazard Assessment guide (i.e. litter/surface
 fuel; groundstorey vegetation/near surface fuel; and midstorey
 vegetation/elevated fuel) and Ordinal Logistic Regression to assess
 categorical fuel hazard ratings. Only recent kangaroo grazing reduced
 groundstorey biomass across all communities. Kangaroo grazing altered
 litter mass and significantly reduced surface fuel hazard in one
 community. Recent livestock grazing did not reduce fuel hazard, and
 despite significantly reducing half of our measures of biomass, these were
 not practical reductions. For instance, livestock grazing significantly
 reduced litter mass, however our model predicts that doubling our
 assessment of livestock grazing intensity only reduces total litter mass
 by 0.8 %, or 8 kg per hectare in landscapes where average litter loads
 ranged from 3,600 to 12,600 kg per hectare. Furthermore, long-term
 livestock grazing increased shrub biomass and in one community this
 increased elevated fuel hazard. There were few effects of rabbits. The
 effects of rainfall on biomass were up to an order of magnitude greater
 than any effects due to grazing. Synthesis and applications: Our data
 suggest that management practices that seek to use livestock grazing to
 reduce biomass in these systems will not achieve practical reductions in
 biomass and or fuel hazard.

title: Regional assemblages shaped by historical and contemporary factors: evidence from a species-rich insect group

description: Understanding the complex diversity patterns is one of the main aims of
 community ecology. It is important to take both historical and
 contemporary factors into account in investigating the potential roles in
 assembling diversity patterns. Here, We compared diversity patterns of two
 moth assemblages sampled from Taihang and Yanshan mountains in Northern
 China and performed ancestral range reconstructions using the
 Multi-State-Speciation and Extinction model to track the origins of these
 patterns. We subsequently estimate diversification rates of the two moth
 assemblages. Finally, we explored the effects of contemporary ecological
 factors on diversity patterns. From 7788 specimens we identified
 to 835 species belonging to 23 families, using both DNA barcode analysis
 and morphology. Overall, moths in YS mountains showed higher species
 diversity and phylogenetic diversity than in TH mountains. Ancestral range
 analysis indicated YS as the origin. Significant historical dispersals
 from YS to TH mountains were detected. Asymmetrical diversification,
 population expansion, along with frequent and considerable gene flow, were
 detected between communities. Moreover, dispersal limitation or the joint
 effect of environment filtering and dispersal limitation were
 inferred as main driving forces shaping current diversity patterns. In
 summary, we showed that a combined analysis of diversity patterns at
 multiples scales, including community, population and species levels,
 incorporating both historical and contemporary factors, are very
 informative for understanding factors of shaping diversity patterns.

title: Current climate overrides historical effects on species richness and range size of freshwater plants in Europe and North America

description: 1. The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) hypothesis suggests that
 species richness should be highest at low latitudes, whereas Rapoport’s
 rule states that largest ranges ought to be found for species at high
 latitudes. However, there is no consensus over these patterns and their
 underlying drivers in the freshwater realm. 2. We investigated species
 richness and mean range size of freshwater plants in 50 km × 50 km grid
 cells across Europe (40°N to 71°N) and North America (25°N to 78°N),
 supplemented with data based on 1° latitudinal bands for mean range size.
 We were especially interested to find out whether there are similarities
 and differences in these ecogeographical patterns and their underlying
 drivers between the continents due to their contrasting historical
 characteristics, spatial extent and topography.  3. First, we
 used partial regression to reveal whether species richness and mean range
 size of freshwater plants have a linear or quadratic relationship with
 latitude. Second, we employed variation partitioning based on partial
 regression to model relationships between plant species richness and mean
 range size and four explanatory variable groups (i.e., environmental
 features, current climate, historical climate and geographical location).
 Third, we utilized boosted regression tree analysis to further investigate
 species richness and mean range size of freshwater plants in relation to a
 set of explanatory variables.   4. Our results revealed
 that species richness showed relatively similar patterns in relation to
 latitude between the continents. Similarly, mean range size trends were
 alike in North America whether we used 50 km x 50 km grid cell data or 1°
 latitudinal bands. Instead, different patterns in mean range size emerged
 between the used data sets in Europe. For both of species richness and
 mean range size, current climate (with different individual predictor
 variables) was the main driver in both the continents, but historical
 effects had a small influence on the response variables. 5. Synthesis. Our
 findings indicated that major ecogeographical rules can strongly vary for
 the same taxonomic group across broad scales between continents. It is
 also premature to rely solely on well-known terrestrial taxonomic groups
 when drawing generalizations about ecogeographical rules.

title: Maternal effects and urbanization: Variation of yolk androgens and immunoglobulin in city and forest blackbirds

description: Wildlife inhabiting urban environments exhibit drastic changes in
 morphology, physiology and behaviour. It has often been argued that these
 phenotypic responses could be the result of micro-evolutionary changes
 following the urbanization process. However, other mechanisms such as
 phenotypic plasticity, maternal effects and developmental plasticity could
 be involved as well. To address maternal effects as potential mechanisms,
 we compared maternal hormone and antibody concentrations in eggs between
 city and forest populations of European blackbirds (Turdus merula), a
 widely distributed species for which previous research demonstrated
 differences in behavioural and physiological traits. We measured egg and
 yolk mass, yolk concentrations of androgens (androstenedione (A4),
 testosterone (T), 5α-dihydrotestosterone (5α-DHT), and immunoglobulins
 (IgY) and related them to population, clutch size, laying order, embryo
 sex, and progress of breeding season. We show: i) earlier onset of laying
 in the city than forest population, but similar egg and clutch size; ii)
 higher overall yolk androgen concentrations in the forest than the city
 population (sex-dependent for T); iii) greater among-female variation of
 yolk T and 5α-DHT concentrations in the forest than city population, but
 similar within-clutch variation; iv) similar IgY concentrations with a
 seasonal decline in both populations; and v) population-specific positive
 (city) or negative (forest) association of yolk A4 and T with IgY
 concentrations. Our results are consistent with the hypotheses that
 hormone-mediated maternal effects contribute to differences in behavioural
 and physiological traits between city and forest individuals and that yolk
 androgen and immunoglobulin levels can exhibit population-specific
 relationships rather than tradeoff against each other.

title: Data from: Phylogenetic measures reveal eco-evolutionary drivers of biodiversity along a depth gradient

description: Energy and environmental stability are positively correlated with species
 richness along broad-scale spatial gradients in terrestrial ecosystems, so
 their relative importance in generating and preserving diversity cannot be
 readily disentangled. This study seeks to exploit the negative correlation
 between energy and stability along the oceanic depth gradient to better
 understand their relative contribution in shaping broadscale biodiversity
 patterns. We develop a conceptual framework by simulating speciation and
 extinction along energy and stability gradients to generate expected
 patterns of biodiversity for a suite of complementary phylogenetic
 diversity metrics. Using a time-calibrated molecular phylogeny for New
 Zealand marine ray-finned fishes and a replicated community ecological
 sampling design, we then modelled these metrics along large-scale depth
 and latitude gradients. Our results indicate that energy-rich shallow
 waters may be an engine of diversity for percomorphs, but also suggest
 that recent speciation occurs in ancient fish lineages in the deep sea,
 hence questioning the role of energy as a key driver of speciation.
 Despite potentially facing high extinction early in their evolution,
 ancient phylogenetic lineages specialized for the deep-sea were likely
 preserved by environmental stability during the Cenozoic. Furthermore,
 intermediate depths might be a “museum” (or zone of overlap) for distinct
 lineages that occur predominantly in either shallow or deep-sea waters.
 These intermediate depths (500-900m) may form a “phylogenetic diversity
 bank”, perhaps providing a refuge during ancient (Mesozoic) extreme anoxic
 events affecting the deep sea and more recent (Pliocene-Pleistocene)
 climatic events occurring in shallow ecosystems. Finally, the phylogenetic
 structures observed in fish communities at intermediate depths suggest
 other processes might restrict the co-occurrence of closely related
 species. Overall, by combining a conceptual framework with models of
 empirical phylogenetic diversity patterns, our study paves the way for
 understanding the determinants of biodiversity across the largest habitat
 on earth.
