Calling structural variants with confidence from short-read data in wild bird populations

<p>Comprehensive characterisation of structural variation in natural populations has only become feasible in the last decade. To investigate the population genomic nature of structural variation (SV), reproducible and high-confidence SV callsets are first required. We created a population-scale reference of the genome-wide landscape of structural variation across 33 Nordic house sparrows (<em>Passer domesticus</em>) individuals. To produce a consensus callset across all samples using short-read data, we compare heuristic-based quality filtering and visual curation (Samplot/PlotCritic and Samplot-ML) approaches. We demonstrate that curation of SVs is important for reducing putative false positives and that the time invested in this step outweighs the potential costs of analysing short-read discovered SV datasets that include many potential false positives. We find that even a lenient manual curation strategy (e.g. applied by a single curator) can reduce the proportion of putative false positives by up to 80%, thus enriching the proportion of high-confidence variants. Crucially, in applying a lenient manual curation strategy with a single curator, nearly all (&gt;99%) variants rejected as putative false positives were also classified as such by a more stringent curation strategy using three additional curators. Furthermore, variants rejected by manual curation failed to reflect the expected population structure from SNPs, whereas variants passing curation did. Combining heuristic-based quality-filtering with rapid manual curation of structural variants in short-read data can therefore become a time- and cost-effective first step for functional and population genomic studies requiring high-confidence SV callsets.</p>

A labelled dataset of the loud calls of four vertebrates collected using passive acoustic monitoring in Malaysian Borneo

<p><em>Passive acoustic monitoring data collection</em></p> <p>We collected data using first generation Swift autonomous recording units (ARUs) (Koch et al. 2016) with a microphone sensitivity of &minus;44 (+/&minus;3) dB re 1&thinsp;V/Pa. The microphone frequency response was not measured but is assumed to be flat (+/&minus; 2&thinsp;dB) in the frequency range 100&thinsp;Hz to 7.5&thinsp;kHz. The analog signal was amplified by 40&thinsp;dB and digitized (16-bit resolution) using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a clipping level of &minus;/+ 0.9&thinsp;V. &nbsp;We collected acoustic data from one primary conservation area&nbsp;in Sabah, Malaysia: Danum Valley Conservation Area (with 11 recording units from March to July 2018). Danum Valley covers an area of roughly 440 km&sup2;, and is characterized by lowland dipterocarp forest. Unlike many tropical forest regions, this area is considered 'aseasonal' due to its lack of clearly differentiated wet and dry seasons (Walsh and Newbery 1999). In Danum Valley, the ARUs recorded at a sampling rate of 16 kHz. All recordings were saved in waveform audio (.wav) format, with files of 2-hr duration. We affixed each recording unit to trees approximately 2-m above the ground and recorded continuously over 24 hours. We set the units on a 750 m grid structure, and preliminary field tests indicate that with these recording settings the detection range of gibbon vocalizations is ~ 400 m.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em>Acoustic data processing </em></p> <p>We randomly chose approximately 500&thinsp;h of recordings from Danum Valley Conservation Area to use to create a training dataset. We used a band-limited energy detector (BLED) to identify potential sounds of interest in the gibbon frequency range. For the BLED detector, we convert the 2-hr recordings into a spectrogram using a 1,600-point (100 ms) Hamming window (3 dB bandwidth = 13 Hz) with 0% overlap and a 2,048-point DFT, with the "seewave" package (Sueur et al. 2008). We then filtered the spectrogram to focus on the desired frequency range, specifically 0.5&ndash;1.6 kHz for Northern grey gibbons. For each unique time window in the recording, we determined the total energy across frequency bins which gave a single value for every 100 ms interval. Utilizing the "quantile" function in base R, we established the threshold to delineate signal from noise. Preliminary tests with varied quantile values revealed that the 15th quantile led to optimized recall for our target signal. This approach resulted in 1,439 unique sound events. The sound events were then annotated by a single observer (DJC) using a custom-written function in R to visualize the spectrograms into the following categories: great argus pheasant (<em>Argusianus argus</em>) long and short calls (Clink et al. 2021), helmeted hornbills (<em>Rhinoplax vigil</em>), rhinoceros hornbills (<em>Buceros rhinoceros</em>), female gibbons (<em>Hylobates funereus</em>) and a catch-all &ldquo;noise&rdquo; category.&nbsp;</p> <p><em>Update Version 5 and later</em></p> <p>Includes labeled test clips from a second conservation area, Maliau Basin Conservation Area, Sabah, Malaysia recorded during August 2019.

LYCEUM: Learning to call copy number variants on low coverage ancient genomes

<p>Copy number variants (CNVs) are pivotal in driving phenotypic variation that facilitates species adaptation. They are significant contributors to various disorders, making ancient genomes crucial for uncovering the genetic origins of disease susceptibility across populations. However, detecting CNVs in ancient DNA (aDNA) samples poses substantial challenges due to several factors: (i) aDNA is often highly degraded; (ii) contamination from microbial DNA and DNA from closely related species introduce additional noise into sequencing data; and finally, (iii) the typically low coverage of aDNA renders accurate CNV detection particularly difficult. Conventional CNV calling algorithms, which are optimized for high coverage read-depth signals, underperform under such conditions. To address these limitations, we introduce LYCEUM, the first machine learning-based CNV caller for aDNA. To overcome challenges related to data quality and scarcity, we employ a two-step training strategy. First, the model is pre-trained on whole genome sequencing data from the 1000 Genomes Project, teaching it CNV-calling capabilities similar to conventional methods. Next, the model is fine-tuned using high- confidence CNV calls derived from only a few existing high-coverage aDNA samples. During this stage, the model adapts to making CNV calls based on the downsampled read depth signals of the same aDNA samples. LYCEUM achieves accurate detection of CNVs even in typically low-coverage ancient genomes. We also observe that the segmental deletion calls made by LYCEUM show correlation with the demographic history of the samples and exhibit patterns of negative selection inline with natural selection.</p>

Call combinations in chimpanzees: a social tool?

<p><span>A growing body of evidence suggests the capacity for animals to combine calls into larger communicative structures is more common than previously assumed. Despite its cross-taxa prevalence, little is known regarding the evolutionary pressures driving such combinatorial abilities. One dominant hypothesis posits that social complexity and vocal complexity are linked, with changes in social structuring (e.g. group size) driving the emergence of ever-more complex vocal abilities, such as call sequencing. In this paper, we tested this hypothesis through investigating combinatoriality in the vocal system of the highly social chimpanzee. Specifically, we predicted combinatoriality to be more common in socially-driven contexts and in females and lower-ranked males (socially challenging contexts and socially challenged individuals respectively). Firstly, through applying methods from computational linguistics (i.e. collocation analyses), we built an objective repertoire of combinatorial structures in this species. Second, we investigated what potential factors influenced call combination production. We show that combinatoriality is predominant in i) social contexts vs. non-social contexts, ii) females vs. males and iii) negatively correlates with male rank. Together, these results suggest one function of combinatoriality in chimpanzees may be to help individuals navigate their dynamic social world. More generally, we argue these findings provide support for the hypothesised link between social and vocal complexity and can provide insight into the evolution of our own highly combinatorial communication system, language.</span></p>

Túngara frog call-timing decisions arise as internal rhythms interact with fluctuating chorus noise

<p>For chorusing males, optimally timing their calls relative to nearby rivals' calls and fluctuations in background chorus noise is crucial for reproductive success. A caller's acoustic environment will vary by chorus density and the properties of his chorus-mates' calls and will fluctuate unpredictably due to chorusing dynamics emerging among his chorus-mates. Thus, callers must continuously monitor moment-to-moment fluctuations in the acoustic scene they perceive at the chorus for advantageous times to call. In live experimental choruses, we investigated the factors influencing túngara frog call-timing responses to chorus-mates' calls on an interaction-by-interaction basis, revealing that intrinsic and extrinsic factors influenced call-timing decisions. Callers were more likely to overlap calls from smaller chorus-mates and chorus-mates at intermediate distances, as well as calls containing lower frequencies and exhibiting lower final amplitude minima. Consequently, variation among males in call properties led to variation in levels of call-interference received when calling in the same social environment. Additionally, callers were more likely to overlap chorus-mates' calls after experiencing extended periods of inhibition and were less likely to overlap synchronized chorus-mates' calls relative to single calls. In chorusing species, female choice is influenced by inter-caller dynamics, selecting for male call-timing strategies which, in turn, constitute the selective environment further refining these same strategies. Thus, understanding the specific factors driving call-timing decisions is essential for understanding how sexual selection operates in chorusing taxa.</p>

Behavioural changes in aposematic Heliconius melpomene butterflies in response to their predatory bird calls

<p>Prey-predator interactions have resulted in the evolution of many anti-predatory traits. One of them is the ability of prey to listen to predators and avoid them. Although prey anti-predatory behavioural responses to predator auditory cues are well described in a wide range of taxa, studies on whether butterflies change their behaviours in response to their predatory calls are lacking. <em>Heliconius </em>butterflies are unpalatable and form Müllerian mimicry rings as morphological defence strategies against their avian predators. Like many other butterflies in the <em>Nymphalidae </em>family, some <em>Heliconius </em>butterflies possess auditory organs, which are hypothesized to assist with predator detection. Here we test whether <em>Heliconius melpomene </em>changes their behaviour in response to their predatory bird calls by observing the behaviour of male and female <em>H. m. plessini </em>exposed to calls of <em>Heliconius</em> avian predators: rufous-tailed jacamar, migratory Eastern kingbird, and resident tropical kingbird. We also exposed them to the calls of the toco toucan, a frugivorous bird as a control bird call, and an amplified greenhouse background noise as a noise control. We found that individuals<em> </em>changed their behaviour in response to Jacamar calls only. Males increased their walking and fluttering behaviour, while females did not change their behaviour during the playback of the jacamar call. Intersexual behaviours like courtship, copulation, and abdomen lifting did not change in response to bird calls. Our findings suggest that despite having primary predatory defences like toxicity and being in a mimicry ring, <em>H. m. plessini </em>butterflies changed their behaviour in response to predator calls. Furthermore, this response was predator-specific, as <em>H. m. plesseni</em> did not respond to either the Eastern kingbird or the tropic kingbird calls. This suggests that <em>Heliconius</em> butterflies may be able to differentiate predatory calls, and potentially the birds associated with those calls.</p>
