Evolution of mate harm resistance in females from Drosophila melanogaster populations selected for faster development and early reproduction

<p><span>These images are part of the study titled "<strong>Evolution of mate harm resistance in females from <em>Drosophila melanogaster </em>populations selected for faster development and early reproduction</strong>". The study uses thorax length of study fruit flies as a measure of body size. The images are of the individual fruit fly thorax. These images are used on ImageJ to measure thorax length. The details of the method can be found in the manuscript, which is now accepted for publication in the Journal of Evolutionary Biology. The same can also be found in a <a href="https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.12.25.521905">pre-print</a> version.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span>The abstract of the article is mentioned below:&nbsp;</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span>Abstract</span></strong></p> <p><span>Interlocus sexual conflict is predicted to result in sexually antagonistic coevolution between male competitive traits, which are also female-detrimental, and mate harm resistance (MHR) in females. Little is known about the connection between life-history evolution and sexually antagonistic coevolution. Here, we investigated the evolution of MHR in a set of experimentally evolved populations, where mate-harming ability has been shown to have substantially reduced in males as a correlated response to the selection for faster development and early reproduction. We measured mortality and fecundity of females of these populations and those of their matched controls, under different male exposure conditions. We observed that the evolved females were more susceptible to mate harm - suffering from significantly higher mortality under continuous exposure to control males within the twenty-day assay period. Though these evolved females are known to have shorter lifespan, substantially higher mortality was not observed under virgin and single-mating conditions. We used fecundity data to show that this higher mortality in the experimentally evolved females was not due to the cost of egg production, and hence can only be attributed to reduced MHR. Further analysis indicated that this decreased MHR is unlikely to be due purely to the smaller size of these females. Instead, it is more likely to be an indirect experimentally evolved response attributable to the changed breeding ecology, and/or male trait evolution. Our results underline the implications of changes in life history traits, including lifespan, to the evolution of MHR in females.&nbsp;</span></p>

Depth and Number of added SWAPs for newly developed routing code for QAOA quantum circuits

<p>We developed a qubit routing algorithm with polynomial classical run time for the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA). The algorithm follows a two step process. First, it obtains a near-optimal solution, based on Vizing's theorem for the edge coloring problem, consisting of subsets of the interaction gates that can be executed in parallel on a fully parallelized all-to-all connected QPU. Second, it proceeds with greedy application of SWAP gates based on their net effect on the distance of remaining interaction gates on a specific hardware connectivity graph. Our algorithm strikes a balance between optimizing for both the circuit depth and total SWAP gate count. We show that it improves upon existing state-of-the-art routing algorithms for QAOA circuits defined on <span><span><span><span>k</span></span></span></span>-regular as well as Erd&ouml;s-Renyi problem graphs of sizes up to&nbsp;<span><span><span><span>N</span><span>&le;</span><span>400</span></span></span></span>.

Data from: Developing and applying a macroinvertebrate‐based multimetric index for urban rivers in the Niger Delta, Nigeria

<p class="MsoCommentText">Urban pollution of riverine ecosystem is a serious concern in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. No biomonitoring tool exists for the routine monitoring of effects of urban pollution on riverine systems within the region. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop and apply a macroinvertebrate-based multimetric index for assessing water quality condition of impacted urban river systems in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria. Macroinvertebrate and physico-chemical samples were collected from 11 stations in eight river systems. Based on the physico-chemical variables, the stations were categorised into three impact categories namely; least impacted stations (LIS), moderately impacted stations (MIS) and heavily impacted stations (HIS). Seventy seven (77) candidate metrics were tested and only five: Hemiptera abundance, %Coleoptera+Hemiptera, %Chironomidae+Oligochaeta, Evenness index and Logarithm of relative abundance of very large body size (&gt;40-80 mm) were retained and integrated into the final Niger Delta urban multimetric index (MINDU). The validation data set showed a correspondence of 83.3% between the index result and the physico-chemically-based classification for the LIS and a 75% correspondence for the MIS. A performance of 22.2% was recorded for the HIS. The newly developed MINDU proved useful as a biomonitoring tool in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, and can thus be used by environmental managers and government officials for routine monitoring of rivers and streams subjected to urban pollution.</p>

Dynamic changes in DNA methylation during postnatal development in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) exposed to different temperatures

<p>Epigenetic changes associated with early life conditions are known to play a significant role in shaping the adult phenotype. Studies of DNA methylation in wild animals are lacking, yet are important for understanding the fitness consequences of environmentally induced epigenetic change. In our study, we quantified variation in DNA methylation in wild, post-hatch zebra finches Taeniopygia guttata developing at seasonally variable temperatures in the Australian desert. We also compared variation in DNA methylation among captive zebra finch siblings raised in temperature controlled 'hot' or 'cool' rooms. We detected an increase in genome-wide levels of DNA methylation between day 3 and day 11 of post hatch development in wild zebra finches. In the wild, ambient temperatures were also found to affect genome-wide levels of DNA methylation and plasticity in the methylation state of individual loci. Family effects had a significant influence on DNA methylation throughout our study, and while we did not detect an effect of temperature on DNA methylation levels in non-related captive birds, our sibling pair analyses revealed that within families, elevated temperatures were associated with higher levels of DNA methylation. Our findings suggest a wide window in early development during which climatically induced variation in DNA methylation could occur. Further work is necessary to understand the potential for such variation to promote ecologically relevant variation in wild birds.</p>

Data from: Usefulness and limitations of thermal performance curves in predicting ectotherm development under global change

1. Thermal performance curves (TPCs) have been estimated in multiple temperate ectotherm species and used to predict the effect of global warming. However, TPCs are typically assessed under constant temperature regimes, so their reliability for predicting thermal responses in the wild where temperature fluctuates diurnally and seasonally remains poorly documented. 2. Here we use distant latitudinal populations of five species of sepsid flies (Diptera: Sepsidae) from the temperate region (Europe, North Africa, North America) to compare estimates derived from constant TPCs with observed development rate under fluctuating temperatures in laboratory and field conditions. 3. TPCs changed across gradients in that flies originating from higher latitudes or altitudes showed accelerated development, an adaptive response. TPCs were then used to predict development rates observed under fluctuating temperatures; these predictions were relatively accurate in the laboratory but not in the field. Interestingly, the precision of TPC-predictions depended not only on the resolution of temperature data, with diurnal and overall temperature summing performing better than hourly temperature summing, but also on the frequency of temperatures falling below the estimated critical minimum temperature. Hourly temperature resolution most strongly underestimated actual development rates, because flies apparently either did not stop growing when temperatures dropped below this threshold, or they speed up their growth when the temperature rises again, thus most severely reflecting this error. 4. We conclude that when flies do not encounter cold temperatures, TPC-predictions based on constant temperatures can accurately reflect performance under fluctuating temperatures if adequately adjusted for non-linearities, but when they encounter cold temperatures this method is more error-prone. 5. Our study emphasizes the importance of the resolution of temperature data and cold temperatures in shaping thermal reaction norms, thus improving predictions of the responses of ectotherms to climate change in the age of big data and citizen science.

Development of tools to rapidly identify cryptic species and characterize their genetic diversity in different European kelp species

<p>Marine ecosystems formed by kelp forests are severely threatened by global change and local coastline disturbances in many regions. In order to take appropriate conservation, mitigation and restoration actions, it is crucial to identify the most diverse populations which could serve as a "reservoir" of genetic diversity. This requires the development of specific tools, such as microsatellite markers to investigate the level and spatial distribution of genetic diversity.  Here, we tested new polymorphic microsatellite loci from the genome of the kelp, <i>Lamina</i><i>ria digitata,</i> and tested them for cross-amplification and polymorphism in four closely related congeneric species (<i>Laminaria hyperborea, Laminaria ochroleuca, Laminaria rodriguezii and Laminaria pallida</i>). Adding these 20 new microsatellite loci to the ten <i>L. digitata</i> loci previously developed by Billot et al. (1998) and Brenan et al. (2014) and to the ten <i>L. ochroleuca</i> loci previously developed by Coelho et al. (2014), we retained a total of 30 polymorphic loci for <i>L. digitata</i>, 19 for <i>L. hyperborea</i>, 16 for <i>L ochroleuca</i>, 19 for<i> L. rodriguezii</i> and 12 for<i> L. pallida</i>. These markers have been tested for the first time in the last two species. As predicted, the proportion of markers that cross-amplified between species decreased with increasing genetic distance. In addition, as problems of species identification were reported in this genus, mainly between <i>L. digitata </i>and <i>Hedophyllum nigripes</i>,<i> </i>but also between <i>L. digitata, L. hyperborea </i>and<i> L. ochroleuca </i>in areas where their range distributions overlap, we report a rapid PCR identification method based on species-specific cox1 mitochondrial primers that allows these four species of kelp to be rapidly distinguished.</p>

Effects of the treatments by synthetic strigolactone (SL) and SL-enriched biostimulant on tomato fruit development.

<p>Strigolactones (SLs) are a class of plant hormones with various functions in plant development and in the interaction with (micro) organisms in the rhizosphere. As developmental regulators the SLs control above- and below-ground morphology, the inhibition of shoot branching, the modulation of the root morphology and the promotion of the shoot secondary growth. &nbsp;It follows that SL-depleted or insensitive plants show an altered morphology (stunted and bushy), a prolongate vegetative development and a delayed in reproductive transition. This latter aspect leads to a reduced number of flowers fruits and seeds in Solanum lycopersicum. To know the effects of an excess of SLs on the reproductive phenotype in tomato we analyzed the results of the exogenous treatments with rac-GR24, a synthetic strigolactone and with a biostimulant SL-enriched produced by StrigoLab. Preliminary data indicate that the treated plants show a preponed flowering and an earlier harvestable fruit compared to mock-treated plants.</p>

Perception of Mixed-Reality Shopping Assistant System to develop Design Principles : Interview Transcripts (MRDP)

<p>The dataset is a collection of transcripts where&nbsp; 35 participants were interviewed&nbsp;to collect users&rsquo;&rsquo; feedback and perceptions about the mixed-reality MR shopping assistant system. The interviews were a part of the research where&nbsp;a personal shopping assistance system based on optical see-through mixed-reality (MR&nbsp;) technology was designed. Microsoft HoloLens 2 was leveraged as the archetype to realize this novel system to facilitating consumer information search and decision making. The design incorporated&nbsp;various shopping assistance elements (i.e., product information, reviews, recommendations, product availability, videos, a virtual cart, and an option to buy). Users can interact with these elements with gesture-based inputs to navigate through the interface.</p> <p>Derived from the qualitative feedback from the 35 participants, we proposed six design principles that aim to support future designs and developments of mixed-reality MR shopping applications for head-mounted displays in omnichannel retail: Rigor, Informativeness, Tangibility, Summary, Comparability and Holism. &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

Digesta and Plasma Metabolomics of Rainbow Trout Strains with Varied Tolerance of Plant-Based Diets Highlights Potential for Non-Lethal Assessments of Enteritis Development

<p>The replacement of fishmeal in aquafeeds is essential to the sustainability of aquaculture. Besides the procurement of alternative protein sources, fish can also be selected for better performance on plant-based alternative diets. Rainbow trout (<em>Oncorhynchus mykiss</em>) is one such species in which the strain ARS-<em>Sel</em>has been selected for higher growth and enhanced utilization when fed soy-based diets. The aim of this study was to compare fish growth, and plasma and digesta metabolomes between the ARS-<em>Sel</em>and two commercial strains (CS-1 and CS-2), when fed a plant-protein diet (PM) and a fishmeal-based diet (FM) and correlate them with the onset of enteritis. An NMR-metabolomics approach was taken to assess plasma and digesta metabolite profiles. Diet and strain showed significant effects on fish growth, with the ARS-<em>Sel</em>fish receiving the PM diet reaching the highest final weight at sampling. Multivariate analysis revealed differences between plasma metabolite profiles of ARS-<em>Sel</em>and CS (CS-1 considered together with CS-2) PM-fed groups in the early stages of the enteritis development, which was confirmed by a histological approach. In digesta, no differences were observed between groups. As reported in previous studies the ARS-<em>Sel</em>strain performed better than the commercial strains when fed the PM diet.&nbsp;</p>

Panel: "Broken for All:: The case for persistent identifiers for digital cultural heritage resources AND Developer Track Session 2

<p>This video contains two sessions from Open Repositories 2021:</p> <p><strong>Panel: &quot;Broken for All&quot;: the case for persistent identifiers for digital cultural heritage resources</strong><br> <em>Turner, Adrian (1); Holmes-Wong, Deborah (2); Rafique, Zahid (2); Kunze, John (1); Lohnash, Megan (3); McKinley, Matthew (4), Lund,&nbsp;<em>Allison</em>&nbsp;(5)</em><br> <em>1: California Digital Library; 2: University of Southern California Libraries; 3: California Revealed; 4: Omeka; 5: Metropolitan New York Library Council&nbsp;</em><br> Cultural heritage institutions within the United States have made significant investments in building unique digital collections, broadly disseminating them on the web and through networks such as the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA). The items within these collections are referenced and cited in a range of sources -- from Wikipedia and scholarly articles, to archival finding aids and classroom lesson plans. However, the application of persistent identifier schemes (e.g. DOI, ARK) for unique digital resources is relatively uncommon within the gallery, library, archive, and museum communities. Relatedly, many repositories and digital asset management systems (DAMS) widely used in these communities simply do not support persistent identifier schemes &quot;out of the box.&quot; Hence, the URLs for the items are extremely fragile. If the collections are migrated to a different repository, the URLs can easily break -- impacting downstream networks, confounding researchers, and compounding the problem of link rot. This panel will discuss the critical role of persistent identifiers in digital collections management and dissemination and some of the challenges in applying them. It will feature case studies demonstrating how commonly-available licensed and open-source repositories can be adapted to support them.</p> <p><strong>Developer Track Session 2:</strong></p> <p><strong>Constructing a Repository Test Strategy Built on Docker Containers</strong><br> <em>Brady, Terrence W</em><br> <em>California Digital Library, United States of America</em><br> The Merritt Digital Preservation system comprises a dozen microservices and supporting services. Our team found that it was not cost effective to maintain and patch a fleet of servers to support a development environment. Our solution was to replace our development server environment with a stack of dockerized services. Once the stack was containerized, we discovered that we were able to create 3 variants of our development stack with different persistence strategies for database content and cloud storage. With these variants, the team has been able to support a variety of testing scenarios.<br> <br> <strong>Deploying a Serverless Application as a Docker Image</strong><br> <em>Brady, Terrence W</em><br> <em>California Digital Library, United States of America</em><br> A serverless application consists of a defined runtime (such as Ruby 2.7 or Python 3) and a package of code. This presentation will illustrate 3 types of code packages of different complexity and will describe the challenges of bundling more complicated dependencies such as binary files. In December 2020, the AWS Lambda serverless architecture began to support Docker images as a deployment package. This packaging approach makes it possible to run tests against a code package before it is deployed. This presentation will demonstrate the test and deployment process for a serverless application within the Merritt digital preservation system. Other repository teams hosting their applications on AWS may discover some useful patterns for testing and deploying serverless code to AWS Lambda.<br> <br> <strong>Live Demo: Create a Developer Workspace Challenge</strong><br> <em>Pottinger, Hardy Joseph</em><br> <em>California Digital Library, University of California, Office of the President, United States of America</em><br> Creating a developer workspace, a place in which you can write and test your code, can seem a daunting task. Sure, someone might have done it before, and they might even share their notes with you, but following those notes and arriving in the same place is like following a treasure map and expecting to get rich. There&rsquo;s a better way, and I&rsquo;m willing to prove it. This demo aims to show the process one goes through to craft a development environment with pretty much any tool, but will use Lando to conserve time. Lando is a way to bootstrap a useable development environment. It&#39;s built on Docker, and is like Docker-Compose, but much more transparent. It handles the boring details and helps you actually start developing with code in your favorite IDE, and all the services you need in Docker. It&#39;s all about making the life of a developer easier. It won&#39;t give you an application container you can deploy, but you will develop a deeper understanding of how all the pieces fit together, and you&#39;ll have a tool which can deploy those pieces to dev/stage/prod if you wish. The audience will participate in this demo.<br> <br> <strong>Building Scalable Serverless Digital Repositories using Amplify Open-source Framework</strong><br> <em>Chen, Yinlin; Jiang, Tingting; Hunter, Lee</em><br> <em>Virginia Tech, United States of America</em><br> We develop digital repositories to disseminate different types of digital content and to promote the principles of open access. Our goal is not to provide access to information to just one individual institution or group but to anyone and everyone. With that ambitious goal in mind, how do we enable our digital repositories to have the high availability and flexible scaling capabilities necessary to face unforeseen demand? How do we utilize only the resources we need without the waste of overprovisioning resources? These are some of the most challenging issues that we face. To achieve our goals, we moved from the traditional monolithic, server-based approach to serverless cloud infrastructure. By leveraging the services that AWS provides we have been able to boost the performance of our repositories 10x compared to that of our previous implementation that was hosted in-house. Our repositories now automatically scale up and down to meet any kind of traffic demands, without our intervention. In this talk, we will demonstrate our scalable serverless digital repositories and show the opportunities to explore and reflect on the ways that repositories enable openness for all.</p>
