title: Genetic diversity and population structure of two endangered neotropical parrots inform In Situ and Ex Situ conservation strategies

description: &lt;b&gt;Abstract&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A key aspect in the conservation of endangered populations is understanding patterns of genetic variation and structure, which can provide managers with critical information to support evidence-based status assessments and management strategies. This is especially important for species with small wild and larger captive populations, as found in many endangered parrots. We used genotypic data to assess genetic variation and structure in wild and captive populations of two endangered parrots, the blue-throated macaw, Ara glaucogularis, of Bolivia, and the thick-billed parrot, Rhynchopsitta pachyrhyncha, of Mexico. In the blue-throated macaw, we found evidence of weak genetic differentiation between wild northern and southern subpopulations, and between wild and captive populations. In the thick-billed parrot we found no signal of differentiation between the Madera and Tutuaca breeding colonies or between wild and captive populations. Similar levels of genetic diversity were detected in the wild and captive populations of both species, with private alleles detected in captivity in both, and in the wild in the thick-billed parrot. We found genetic signatures of a bottleneck in the northern blue-throated macaw subpopulation, but no such signal was identified in any other subpopulation of either species. Our results suggest both species could potentially benefit from reintroduction of genetic variation found in captivity, and emphasize the need for genetic management of captive populations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

title: Protocol Registration: The effects of pandemics on the vulnerability of food security in West Africa - A scoping review

description: The review is a component of the IDRC project with its primary objective to examine the
existing evidence from the literature on the level of past and current vulnerability of the West African food system and the four pillars of food security. Food security
of all countries can be considered vulnerable during times of crisis and pandemics. However, developing countries, such as those in West Africa, already struggle to meet the United Nations zero hunger goals prior to the onset of COVID-19. Many of these same countries had previously faced similar challenges during the recent Ebola virus outbreak, making it imperative for us to understand just how pandemics/epidemics affected, and continue affecting food security. The review will search for and
include quantitative and qualitative research as well as opinion pieces and readily available grey literature (e.g. media reports). The review methodology follows PRISMA guidelines with the formal proposed protocol registered at doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/PKH98. A copy of the registered protocol is provided here.

title: Données de réplication pour : Person-reported perspectives on support availability for people with disabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic in Quebec

description: Objectives: To identify the perception of the availability of community support and the support needs of autistic people, people with disabilities and their caregivers at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic in Quebec and to assess the association between the available support and the perceived stress levels to evaluate the role of perceived social support as a potential buffer of this association. 
Methods: A total of 315 respondents participated in a 4 min online survey across the province of Quebec by snowball sampling. Community support was defined as availability of adapted healthcare, adapted information, adapted educational services and community services.
Results: The community support and services during the COVID-19 pandemic, were not available or were not sufficiently adapted to their needs. About 40 % of autistic people or people with disabilities and 44 % of their caregivers perceived their days as being quite stressful or extremely stressful. This is twice the rate than that of the general population in non-pandemic time. Nevertheless, social supports can play a mediating role in attenuating the effects of the absence of adapted services on the stress level of this vulnerable population.
Conclusion: The non-availability of adapted services was related to an increase of the stress level in this population. Our study adds that other than social support, adapted healthcare/tele-healthcare, and in-home support services could reduce the impact of the pandemic on the stress level of autistic people and people with disabilities. Adapted educational services and educational assistance for tele-education could reduce the impact on the stress level in caregivers. People with disabilities and their caregivers are one of the most vulnerable groups in our society. Public health measures of containment and mitigation need to consider more their specific needs.

title: Data for "Pain in the weeks following surgical and rubber ring castration in dairy calves"

description: Many male dairy calves are castrated when reared for beef production, but for dairy breeds the assessment of the longer-lasting pain associated with this procedure has received little scientific attention. In this study we assessed 2 methods: surgical (n = 10 calves) and rubber ring (n = 11). All calves were castrated at 28 d of age using multimodal pain control. During the 8 wk that followed, we recorded wound healing, local inflammation, body weight, milk and calf starter intake, lying time, and wound-directed behavior. Surgical wounds were fully healed on average 4 wk after the procedure, but only 1 calf in the rubber ring treatment fully healed within the 8-wk study. Inflammation was greater after rubber ring castration; skin temperature in the area around the lesion was 1.7°C (±0.35) higher than for the surgical treatment. Compared with surgically castrated calves, those castrated by rubber ring gained less weight over the study period (on average 11.9 ± 5.1 kg less), a difference due in part to lower intake of calf starter (on average 1.8 ± 0.6 kg less). Calves in the rubber ring treatment spent less time lying down (on average 4.2 ± 1.2% fewer scans per day) and licked their lesions more frequently (on average 16.0 ± 3.3 more licks per day). We conclude that the rubber ring calves experienced more pain in the weeks following the procedure and thus recommend that surgical castration be favored for preweaning dairy calves.

title: Interactive effects of increasing chloride concentration and warming on freshwater plankton communities

description: To determine the effects of increasing chloride and temperatures on freshwater plankton communities and investigate the adequacy of the current Canadian Water Quality Guideline for chloride (CWQG), we conducted a mesocosm experiment, using 30 nominal concentrations of chloride from ambient (16.9 mg/L) to 1500 mg/L, either ambient or warmed temperatures, and a plankton community from a Canadian Shield lake. This experiment extended for six weeks. We collected samples for chlorophyll a concentration, phytoplankton community composition, and zooplankton biomass and community composition.

title: Replication Data for: Love Data Week in the time of COVID-19: A content analysis of Love Data Week 2021 events

description: The analyzed data, README file, and codebook to reproduce the results and two charts from the related publication. Analyzed data is in two formats: original (Excel format) and .csv/archival format.

Version 2 of this dataset involved adding metadata, adding the csv/archival format of the dataset, updating this description, and adding the README file.

The analyzed dataset (Data_Analyzed sheet in the dataset) is composed of observations (each Love Data Week 2021 event) and the reconciled codes (i.e. the final codes assigned to each observation after 3 independent coders individually coded each event using the codebook and then discussed and reconciled any disagreements). Multiple codes could be assigned to each observation. We also coded for the name of a tool (e.g. "Excel" or "R") in separate columns. The codes apply to the event description and event title (variable names "Title" and "Description", columns B and D in this file). Column C (event type, i.e. "Type") was coded separately. See the README file for more detailed information about each sheet and documentation related to variable names/column headers.

title: Replication Data for: The effects of cow dominance on the use of a mechanical brush

description: An animal’s social position within a group can influence its ability to access essential resources such as food or a lying area, but little is known about how social position affects the ability to express what are arguably less important but still rewarding behaviors, such as grooming. We set out to assess if dominance measured at the feeder is associated with increased use of a mechanical brush. Over a 2-year period, 161 dry cows were enrolled in a dynamically changing group of 20 individuals with access to a mechanical brush. We determined dominance using agonistic behaviors at the feeder and retrospectively analyzed brush use for the 12 most, and 12 least dominant individuals during the week before calving. Cows that were more dominant at the feeder used the brush more, especially during peak feeding times. Agonistic interactions at the brush did not differ between dominants and subordinates and were not related to brushing duration. These findings indicate that social position, calculated using competition for feed, affects mechanical brush access such that subordinates use the brush less than dominant cows independent of competition or time of day.

title: Data from: Descriptive multi-agent epidemiology via molecular screening on Atlantic salmon farms in the northeast Pacific Ocean

description: &lt;b&gt;Abstract&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rapid expansion of salmon aquaculture has resulted in high-density populations that host diverse infectious agents, for which surveillance and monitoring are critical to disease management. Screening can reveal infection diversity from which disease arises, differential patterns of infection in live and dead fish that are difficult to collect in wild populations, and potential risks associated with agent transmission between wild and farmed hosts. We report results from a multi-year infectious-agent screening program of farmed salmon in British Columbia, Canada, using quantitative PCR to assess presence and load of 58 infective agents (viruses, bacteria, and eukaryotes) in 2931 Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Our analysis reveals temporal trends, agent correlations within hosts, and agent-associated mortality signatures. Multiple agents, most notably Tenacibaculum maritimum, were elevated in dead and dying salmon. We also report detections of agents only recently shown to infect farmed salmon in BC (Atlantic salmon calicivirus, Cutthroat trout virus-2), detection in freshwater hatcheries of two marine agents (Kudoa thyrsites and Tenacibaculum maritimum), and detection in the ocean of a freshwater agent (Flavobacterium psychrophilum). Our results provide information for farm managers, regulators, and conservationists, and enable further work to explore patterns of multi-agent infection and farm/wild transmission risk.&lt;/p&gt;

title: 2021 Redux Survey of Visible Minority Librarians of Canada

description: In 2021, the Visible Minority Librarians of Canada (ViMLoC) Network conducted its second comprehensive survey on visible minority librarians working in Canadian institutions. As a followup to the first 2013 survey, ViMLoC examined changes in the library landscape with regards to visible minority librarians in various librarian positions. Data were collected from January to March 2021 on visible minority librarians’ demographics, education, and employment situations. The survey was administered and distributed using Qualtrics in English and French. &lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

The user guide and results summary in this dataset presents aggregated data for 162 visible minority librarians from the English survey (138) and the French survey (24). Survey results will help ViMLoC identify the needs of visible minority librarians and propose projects to empower them in their current positions or their future career development. The data can be also useful to library administrators, librarians, and researchers working on multicultural issues, diversity, recruitment and retention, leadership, library management, and other related areas.

title: Investigating the impact of habitat fragmentation on woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in British Columbia

description: The purpose of this project was to map varying qualities of woodland caribou habitat in BC and quantify fragmentation of different habitat classes between 1985 and 2018. Woodland caribou populations in British Columbia are in steep decline despite extensive intervention efforts by the BC and Canadian Governments. The main drivers behind woodland caribou decline are habitat loss and increased predation. Caribou rely on large, contiguous tracts of mature forest to forage for lichens in the winter, raise their young in the spring, and as protection from predation. Disturbances such as timber harvests, wildfires, and human development fragment these patches, and the young forests and open areas left behind draw deer and moose to the area, exposing caribou to predation. Linear features such as roads, power lines, pipelines, and recreational trails create additional corridors which are used by predators to more easily access caribou herds. By measuring forest fragmentation in caribou herd ranges using landscape metrics, I was able to determine how the landscape configuration and
composition in several herd ranges have changed between 1985 and 2018 and compare it to the long-term population trends of those herds. Four herd ranges across British Columbia – Barkerville, Wells Gray, Muskwa, and Carcross – were
assessed for road density and habitat suitability for the two time points using a habitat suitability model with slope, biogeoclimatic ecosystem classification (BEC) zone, land cover, and stand age as parameters. Using eight landscape metrics, I was able to quantify the extent of fragmentation between the time points. All herds experienced an increase in road density and overall loss of low and medium-quality habitat. Composition and configuration changes in the high-quality landscapes were variable and ultimately did not strongly correlate with long-term population trends. Integration of cervid habitat suitability was determined to
be a critical area for further research.
