Hubbard Brook site, station 10-hectare bird count plot at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, study of animal abundance of Junco hyemalis (dark-eyed junco) in units of numberPer10Hectares on a yearly timescale
The EcoTrends project was established in 2004 by Dr. Debra Peters (Jornada Basin LTER, USDA-ARS Jornada Experimental Range) and Dr. Ariel Lugo (Luquillo LTER, USDA-FS Luquillo Experimental Forest) to support the collection and analysis of long-term ecological datasets. The project is a large synthesis effort focused on improving the accessibility and use of long-term data. At present, there are ~50 state and federally funded research sites that are participating and contributing to the EcoTrends project, including all 26 Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites and sites funded by the USDA Agriculture Research Service (ARS), USDA Forest Service, US Department of Energy, US Geological Survey (USGS) and numerous universities. Data from the EcoTrends project are available through an exploratory web portal (http://www.ecotrends.info). This web portal enables the continuation of data compilation and accessibility by users through an interactive web application. Ongoing data compilation is updated through both manual and automatic processing as part of the LTER Provenance Aware Synthesis Tracking Architecture (PASTA). The web portal is a collaboration between the Jornada LTER and the LTER Network Office. The following dataset from Hubbard Brook (HBR) contains animal abundance of Junco hyemalis (dark-eyed junco) measurements in numberPer10Hectares units and were aggregated to a yearly timescale.
In the intimacy of the darkness: genetic polyandry in deep-sea luminescent lanternsharks Etmopterus spinax and Etmopterus molleri (Squaliformes, Etmopteridae)
<p>Multiple paternity seems common within elasmobranchs. Focusing on two deep-sea shark species: the velvet belly lanternshark, <em>Etmopterus spinax</em>, and the slendertail lanternshark, <em>Etmopterus molleri</em>, we inferred the paternity in 31 <em>E. spinax</em> litters from Norway (3-18 embryos per litter) and 6 <em>E. molleri</em> litters from Japan (3-6 embryos), using 21 and 10 specific microsatellites, respectively. At least two <em>E. spinax</em> litters were sired from multiple fathers each, with highly variable paternal skew (1:1 to 9:1). Conversely, no clear signal of genetic polyandry was found in <em>E. molleri</em>.</p> <p>This dataset contains the microsatellite genotypes analysed (281 <em>E. spinax</em> × 29 loci; 42 <em>E. molleri</em> × 19 loci).</p>
Simulations of magnetized quark nugget dark matter in three-layer witness plate
<p>Magnetized quark nuggets (MQNs) are a recently proposed dark-matter candidate consistent with the Standard Model and with Tatsumi's theory of quark-nugget cores in magnetars. Previous publications have covered their formation in the early universe, aggregation into a broad mass distribution before they can decay by the weak force, interaction with normal matter through their magnetopause, and first observation consistent MQNs: a nearly tangential impact limiting their surface-magnetic-field parameter <i>B<sub>o</sub></i> from Tatsumi's ~10<sup>12+/-1</sup> T to 1.65 × 10<sup>12</sup> T +/- 21%. The MQN mass distribution and interaction cross section depend strongly on <i>B<sub>o</sub></i>. Their magnetopause is much larger than their geometric dimensions and can cause sufficient energy deposition to form non-meteorite craters, which are reported approximately annually. We report computer simulations of the MQN energy deposition in water-saturated peat, soft-sediments, and granite and report results from excavating such a crater. Five points of agreement between observations and hydrodynamic simulations of an MQN impact support this seocnd observation consistent with MQN dark matter and suggest a method for qualifying additional MQN events. The results also redundantly constrain <i>B<sub>o</sub></i> to ≥ 4 × 10<sup>11</sup> T.</p> <p> </p> <p>This dataset provides movies of CTH hydrodynamic simulations of a magnetized quark nugget dark matter transiting a three-layer witness plate of peat bog, soft sediments, and granite for energy/length of 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, and 243 MJ/m. The simulations, movies, and photos are explained in the paper titled <em>Results of search for magnetized quark-nugget dark matter from radial impacts on Earth</em> by J. Pace VanDevender, Robert G. Schmitt, Niall McGinley, Aaron P. VanDevender, Peter Wilson, Deborah Dixon, Helen Auer, and Jacquelyn McRae. The paper has been submitted for publication in the open-source journal Universe.</p>
Dark septate endophytes and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Paris-morphotype) affect the stable isotope composition of 'classically' non-mycorrhizal plants
<p>The vast majority of terrestrial plants exchange nutrients with fungal partners forming different mycorrhizal types. The minority of plants considered as non-mycorrhizal, however, are not necessarily free of any fungi, but are frequently colonized by elusive fungal endophytes, such as <i>dark septate endophytes</i> (<i>DSE</i>) or <i>fine root endophytes</i> (<i>FRE</i>). While a functional role of <i>FRE</i> in improvement of nutrient gain was recently elucidated, the function of <i>DSE</i> is still in discussion and was here addressed for 36 plant species belonging to the families Equisetaceae, Cypereaceae and Caryophyllaceae.</p> <p>Molecular and microscopic staining approaches were conducted to verify the presence of <i>DSE</i> in the investigated species. Stable isotope natural abundances of the elements carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen and total nitrogen concentrations were analyzed for the respective species of the target plant families and accompanying mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal (Brassicaceae) plant species.</p> <p>Staining approaches confirmed the presence of <i>DSE</i> in all investigated species within the families Equisetaceae, Cyperaceae and Caryophyllaceae. A co-colonization with <i>Paris</i>-type arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) was occasionally found by staining and molecular approaches in species of the Equisetaceae. Species of the Equisetaceae, Cyperaceae and Caryophyllaceae were significantly <sup>15</sup>N-enriched in comparison to accompanying plants. In addition, a significant <sup>13</sup>C and <sup>2</sup>H enrichment and increased total nitrogen concentrations were found for representatives of the Equisetaceae.</p> <p>The <sup>15</sup>N-enrichment found here for representatives of Equisetaceae, Cyperaceae and Caryophyllaceae provides evidence for a functional role of the ubiquitous <i>DSE</i> fungi. <i>DSE</i> fungi obviously provide access to <sup>15</sup>N-enriched soil organic compounds probably in exchange for organic carbon compounds from plant photosynthesis. As indicated by additional <sup>13</sup>C- and <sup>2</sup>H-enrichments, representatives of the Equisetaceae apparently gain simultaneously organic carbon compounds from their AM fungi of the <i>Paris</i>-morphotype. Thus, species of the Equisetaceae have to be considered as partially, or in case of the achlorophyllous fertile Equisetum arvense, as fully mycoheterotrophic at least in some stages of their life cycle.</p> <p>So far mostly underappreciated fungi classified as <i>DSE</i> are suggested to occupy an ecologically relevant role similar to mycorrhizae and the occurrence of simultaneous functions of <i>DSE</i> and AM fungi in Equisetaceae is proposed.</p>
Supplementary data to accompany "Abundant metabolite-matrix adducts illuminate the dark metabolome of MALDI-mass-spectrometry imaging datasets"
<p>This dataset accompanies the publication "Abundant metabolite-matrix adducts illuminate the dark metabolome of MALDI-mass-spectrometry imaging datasets". The dataset includes all files, scripts and results that are included in the associated publication.</p> <p>Spatial metabolomics using mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a powerful tool to map hundreds or thousands of metabolites across biological systems. One major challenge is the complexity of the data, which includes signals from experimental artifacts. Formation of adducts (<em>e.g. </em>with Na+or K+) or abundant matrix-cluster, in the case of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI)-MSI, strongly increase peak counts. We developed <em>mass2adduct</em>, a universally applicable tool for adduct abundance estimations in high-mass-resolution spatial metabolomics datasets. Our study illustrates that MALDI-MSI data density is remarkably driven by adduct formation and revealed a major influence of so far unrecognized metabolite-matrix adducts on total peak counts. Current data analyses neglect those matrix adducts and therefore overestimate total metabolite numbers, thereby inflating the dark metabolome size.</p> <p>mass2adduct zenodo doi (10.5281/zenodo.1405088)</p> <p>mass2adduct gihub: https://github.com/kbseah/mass2adduct</p>
