title: Database Economic value, endogenous knowledge and distribution of Picralima nitida (Stapf) T. Durand & H. Durand in Africa. 2020. Ethnobotanical and Geospacial data

description: This dataset on Picralima nitida species was collected in two climatic zones of West Africa. It regroups the ethnobotanical data presented in sheet 1 and geospacial references presented in sheet 2 and 3. Picralima nitida (Apocynaceae) is an important African medicinal plant species. It is very used in traditional medicine and pharmaceutical industries for manufacture of drugs against infectious diseases, malaria, diabetes and cancer. Despite its important, the species becomes rare, especially in the Dahomey Gap in contrast to the Guineo-Congolese region. There is also a controversy on its distribution. To ensure the sustainable use of this species, this study evaluated the economic value, endogenous knowledge and the effect of climate gradient on the distribution of the species in Africa.

title: Innovative problem-solving in wild hyenas is reliable across time and contexts

description: Individual differences in behavior are the raw material upon which natural selection acts, but despite increasing recognition of the value of considering individual differences in the behavior of wild animals to test evolutionary hypotheses, this approach has only recently become popular for testing cognitive abilities. In order for the intraspecific approach with wild animals to be useful for testing evolutionary hypotheses about cognition, researchers must provide evidence that measures of cognitive ability obtained from wild subjects reflect stable, general traits. Here, we used a multi-access box paradigm to investigate the intra-individual reliability of innovative problem-solving ability across time and contexts in wild spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta). We also asked whether estimates of reliability were affected by factors such as age-sex class, the length of the interval between tests, or the number of times subjects were tested. We found significant contextual and temporal reliability for problem-solving. However, problem-solving was not reliable for adult subjects, when trials were separated by more than 17 days, or when fewer than seven trials were conducted per subject. In general, the estimates of reliability for problem-solving were comparable to estimates from the literature for other animal behaviors, which suggests that problem-solving is a stable, general trait in wild spotted hyenas.

title: Wetland plant community variation across replicate urban to rural gradients: non-native species as both drivers and passengers in systems impacted by anthropogenic land-use

description: Anthropogenic land-use change impacts ecological communities in urban and rural landscapes, and wetlands are particularly vulnerable despite the valuable ecosystem services they provide. Urbanized non-wetland systems are often enriched in non-native plant species, and similar patterns in wetlands would have implications for ecosystem function and biodiversity. We evaluated landscape-scale patterns of plant community diversity across gradients of rural to urban land-use, testing whether diversity was related to environmental conditions indicative of surrounding land-use. We surveyed vegetation and collected soil samples from 45 wetlands throughout Ohio, USA. Sites were categorized based on surrounding land-use as intense urban, moderate urban, or rural, representing 15 replicate urban to rural gradients. Non-native richness was 56% greater and non-native relative abundance 74% greater in intense urban sites compared to rural sites. Structural equation modeling indicated that high non-native relative abundance caused reductions in native plant richness but not native Shannon diversity, which was instead related to high concentrations of urban-associated soil contaminants such as cadmium and sodium. Our results support both versions of the driver-passenger model of invasion impacts, depending on the response: native richness is directly limited by competition with non-native species (the driver model), while native diversity is limited more by urban-associated stressors that also affect non-natives (the passenger model). The few wetlands remaining in highly urban areas thus experience a range of constraints affecting multiple dimensions of wetland health. We argue it is in these sites specifically where the benefits of restoring wetland ecosystems will be maximized.

title: Blank questionnaire of ethnobatanical study on Picarlima nitida in Dahomey Gap, West Africa, 2020

description: Picralima nitida is one of the most important medicinal plant species in Africa. It is a small tree which reaches 4-35 m in height. Its wood is pale yellow, hard, elastic and fine-grained with a high polish. P. nitida bears white flowers (about 3 cm long) with yellowish ovoid fruits at maturity. The leaves are broad and oblong with tough tiny lateral nerves of 14-24 pairs. In West African folk medicine, P. nitida is widely used for the treatment of several diseases. Despite its importance, there is a serious problem of species management. In the typical Guineo-Congolese (GC) region, e.g. Nigeria, it occurs only in the wild under no form of management and is under threat of extinction. In the Dahomey Gap (DG) region, e.g. Benin, P. nitida is very rare and at low density. There is a controversy on the exact distribution areas of P. nitida. There is a need to dispel the ambiguity over the distribution areas of this species and to document the important threats to its conservation. It is the reason that this questionnaire has been used to identified the importance of the species through its distribution area.

title: Hurricanes Matthew and Florence: impacts and opportunities to improve floodplain management

description: A NatureNet project was initiated in 2018 in by The Center for Biodiversity Outcomes and The Nature Conservancy to identify solutions for water quality management under extremes ranging from floods to droughts with a focus on agroecosystems. Hurricanes that damage lives and property are accompanied by poor water quality that affects both human and natural communities, yet these water quality impacts are difficult to quantify. To aid in understanding the implications of elevated storm frequency and intensity, we developed an operational remote sensing-based hurricane flood extent mapping method, analyzed potential impacts to human and natural assets from Hurricane Matthew (2016) and Hurricane Florence (2018) in North Carolina, and identified options that could reduce impacts and increase resilience to future storms. Flooding detected with synthetic aperture radar (&gt;91% accuracy) extended beyond state-mapped hazard zones. This data package provides the training datasets and flood map products for Hurricanes Matthew and Florence, as well as a map of opportunities where watershed-scale interventions could be implemented in flooded areas across the Piedmont and Coastal Plain. Accompanying code is available as supporting information for the peer-reviewed publication, and can also be accessed from https://github.com/dschaffersmith/repeatFloodingNC. The methods for these and other analyses are also described in greater detail in: Schaffer-Smith, D., Myint, S.W., Muenich, R.L., Tong, D., & DeMeester, J.E. 2020. Repeated hurricanes reveal risks and opportunities for social-ecological resilience to flooding and water quality problems. Environmental Science & Technology.

title: AgEvidence: Agro-environmental responses of conservation agricultural practices in the US Midwest published from 1980 to 2017

description: AgEvidence is a database of the multiple benefits and trade-offs associated with conservation agricultural practices in the United States Midwest. The purpose of these data are to provide organizations, policy makers, scientists, and other interested parties with all the available evidence related to the diversity and magnitude of agro-environmental impacts that occur following the implementation of conservation practices. The conservation practices we focused on include winter cover crops, conservation tillage, strategic nutrient management, and early season pest management in corn and soybean systems. Data were extracted from peer-reviewed literature published between 1980 and 2017 with experimental field sites located in at least one of the following states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Our dataset includes all response variables reported in each paper where there are isolated comparisons of a conservation practice (e.g. soil nitrate content following winter fallow and following winter cover crop). With this approach, we were able to capture the state-of-knowledge for a wide diversity of response variables and identify where we lack knowledge.

title: Geographical and inter-annual patterns of seed viability in the threatened cold desert perennial Ivesia webberi A. Gray, and the prospect of non-destructive seed testing methods

description: Seed banking is an ex situ conservation method for preserving the genetic diversity of threatened plant species, but it may be unsuitable for the estimated one-third of threatened plant species that have recalcitrant storage behavior, many of which produce a small number of viable seeds. Therefore, effective seed banking require an understanding of their storage behavior, and the use of non-destructive viability testing methods to prevent cumulative reduction of stored seeds from periodic monitoring. This study examined seed viability in Ivesia webberi, a threatened Great Basin Desert forb in the United States. We investigated inter-annual and inter-population variation in seed viability, the predictive accuracy of non-destructive seed viability testing methods (seed x-ray and multispectral imaging), and the effect of seed size and storage time on seed viability. These data sets contained results of seed viability test using tetrazolium, multispectral imaging and interpretations of x-ray imagery, from 11 populations of I. webberi across three years.

title: Aeshna canadensis (Canada darner) dragonfly phenology and migration in Minnesota and Canada, 2017-2019

description: The purpose of this dataset was to investigate whether Aeshna canadensis (Canada darner) is a migratory dragonfly species by combining phenological observations with a dragonfly wing stable hydrogen isotope isoscape analysis. Phenological data were collected from three study ponds (Washington County; 45.17°N, -92.84°W) in the St. Croix River Valley in central Minnesota. We collected emerging teneral dragonflies from May - October and observed adult flight behavior. We also collected adult dragonflies on the wing. Additionally, adult Canada darners were collected in northern Minnesota (Itasca State Park and the western shore of Lake Superior) and we accessed specimens in Canadian museum collections (Royal Ontario Museum and the Canadian National Collection of Insects and Arachnids). We conducted probabilistic assignment to natal origins by measuring stable hydrogen isotope values of wing tissue (δ2Hw) of collected dragonflies. These analyses were done at the Center for Stable Isotopes, University of New Mexico and at the Laboratory for Stable Isotope Science – Advanced Facility for Avian Research.

title: Emergence of the first Lumpy Skin Disease outbreak among livestock in the Republic of Kazakhstan in 2016.

description: Lumpy skin disease is an emerging transboundary viral disease of cattle originating from the African continent. Here we describe the first LSD outbreak reported in the Republic of Kazakhstan, in July 2016. Initially, LSD was reported in a cattle farm located 49 km from Kazakh –Russian border in, Atyrau Oblast in West Kazakhstan. Subsequently, the disease spread to neighbouring farms situated within the same district. Following a preliminary investigation, the local State Veterinary Service declared a strict quarantine according to the State Contingency Plan, along with immediate total stamping out and cattle movement restrictions.During the outbreak, the number of affected cattle within an epidemiological unit reached 459 heads out of registered 3557 susceptible cattle with 12.90% morbidity and 0.96%, mortality. This manuscript presents the epidemiological situation, the diagnosis, the control measures including mass vaccination and the stamping out campaign.

title: Compelle eos intrare

description: The paper aims to analyse the legislative process that brought the Christianism to become the main religion of the Roman Empire. The transition of the Empire from Paganism to Christianism was gradual and it began with issuing the 'Edict of Milan' by Constantin in 313 A.D. From this moment on the Christian communities would have definitely become legitimate. During the following years several laws were progressively issued in order to restrict the paganism and its practises, until the occurrence of a definitive persecution of pagan people in the last years of the Fourth Century. The present article analyses this process and tries to find the normative grounding that led to the triumph of the Christianism over the Paganism.
description: Le but principal de cet article est d'analyser le processus législatif qui conduisit le christianisme à devenir la religion principale de l'empire Romain. La transformation d'empire Païen à empire Chrétien a été progressive et a commencé à partir de l'émanation de l'Édit de Milan de la part de Constantin en 313 après J.C. À partir de ce moment, les communautés chrétiennes seraient devenues définitivement licites. Dans les cours des années suivantes on aurait promulgué au fur et à mesure différentes mesures législatives orientées à railler et empêcher les pratiques païennes, jusqu'à arriver à la définitive persécution des païens dans les dernières années du IV siècle. L'article analyse ce processus législatif, en cherchant, par rapport à la nouvelle littérature, la souche normative commune à tous les empereurs romains, chrétiens.
