A scalable, accurate, and universal analysis framework using individual-level allele frequency for large-scale genetic association studies in an admixed population
<p>Inclusion of individuals with diverse or admixed genetic ancestries is crucial to discover novel findings that may be missed by genomics analyses rooted solely in Caucasian population. Here, we present an analysis framework, SPAmix, which is scalable to a large-scale biobank data analysis including hundreds of thousands of admixed individuals and is universally applicable to various types of complex traits including binary trait, quantitative trait, time-to-event trait, longitudinal traits, etc. For each genetic variant, SPAmix uses genotype data and genetic principal components (PCs) to estimate individual-level allele frequency, which is subsequently used to calibrate p values via a retrospective analysis. A hybrid strategy including saddlepoint approximation (SPA) can greatly increase the accuracy to analyze rare genetic variants, especially if the phenotypic distribution is unbalanced or extremely unbalanced. Compared to Tractor, SPAmix does not require local ancestry information and can be straightforwardly applicable to a multi-way admixed population. Meanwhile, SPAmix can also be extended to SPAmix<sub>local</sub> in which the local ancestry can be incorporated if available. In addition, we propose SPAmix<sub>CCT</sub> to combine the p values of SPAmix and SPAmix<sub>local</sub> via Cauchy combination (CCT). SPAmix<sub>local</sub> performs close to Tractor when analyzing quantitative traits and is more accurate when analyzing binary traits with an unbalanced case-control ratio. And SPAmix<sub>CCT </sub>is an optimal unified approach for various cross-ancestry genetic architectures. Extensive simulation studies and real data analyses of 369,314 UK Biobank individuals from multiple ancestries demonstrated that SPAmix is scalable and can discover novel hits while controlling type I error rates well.</p>
Genetic diversity, population structure, and linkage disequilibrium among tropical quality protein maize (QPM) lines assessed with high-density SNP markers
<p>The study of genetic diversity (GD), population structure, and linkage disequilibrium (LD) provides a better understanding of the genetic relationships between individuals in a population which can be utilized in crop research and improvement. Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) was used to detect and genotype single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a collection of 74 quality protein maize (QPM) lines and further to characterize their genetic diversity, population structure, and linkage disequilibrium. A total of 235,214 high-quality SNPs were used for different genetic analyses except for structure analysis where 11,950 SNPs were used. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) based on these SNPs revealed high genetic heterozygosity among the five populations with 1% of the total genetic variation present among the subpopulations and 99% of the variation among individuals within the populations. Population structure analysis using Bayesian-based clustering revealed that the 74 lines could be clustered into four groups. However, neighbor-joining trees indicate the lines are grouped into three major clusters. Further analysis using principal component analyses (PCA) clustered the genotypes into five groups which are concordant with the groups based on pedigree information. Higher genetic diversity was detected in population 1 with a GD value of 0.484 and the lowest in population 5 (0.396) and overall, with a mean of 0.434. The LD pattern in the quality protein maize was investigated and we observed a relatively rapid LD decay of 3.53kb and 10.66kb at r<sup>2</sup> =0.2 and r<sup>2</sup>= 0.1, respectively. Our findings provide important information for future Linkage mapping studies, genome-wide association analyses, and marker-assisted selective breeding of maize as well as genomic prediction-based selection in tropical germplasm.</p>

State Water Project, Genetic Determination of Population of Origin 2011-2021
Central Valley Chinook Salmon populations differ in their Endangered Species Act listing status. It is often difficult to distinguish individuals from the different Evolutionarily Significant Units. As such, many of the salmon monitoring and evaluation efforts in the Central Valley and San Francisco Bay-Delta are hampered by uncertainty about population (stock) identification and proportional effects of management actions (Dekar et al. 2013; IEP 2019). Studies have identified that the current identification method (length-at-date models) of juvenile Chinook salmon (Fisher 1992) captured in the watershed vary in their accuracy, particularly for spring-run (NMFS 2013; Harvey et al. 2014; Merz et al. 2014). The inaccuracy of the size-based methods is likely due to differences in fish distribution during early rearing, habitat-specific growth rates, and inter-annual variability in temperatures and food availability that lead to overlap in size ranges among stocks. The primary objective of this project was the genetic classification (to race; Evolutionary Significant Unit) of Chinook Salmon captured from State Water Project and Central Valley Project fish protection facilities and Interagency Ecological Program monitoring programs. The population-of-origin was determined for sampled fish by comparing their genotypes to reference genetic baselines. Genetic methods, having less statistical uncertainty that size-based models for population identification, were intended to directly target (and reduce) one source of uncertainty in the estimation of loss (take) from water diversions (operations) and develop the information necessary for understanding stock-specific distribution, habitat utilization, abundance, and life history variation. This project supports recommendations from the Interagency Ecological Program’s Salmon and Sturgeon Assessment of Indicators by Life Stage and Interagency Ecological Program Science Agenda efforts to improve Central Valley salmonid monitoring
Virgin Islands National Park: Coral Reef: Population Dynamics: Landscape-scale Variation in Scleractinian Corals
This study provides a landscape-scale context to a decadal-scale analysis of community structure on shallow reefs along 4 km of the south shore of St. John, US Virgin Islands. By focusing on 12-14 sites along ~100 km of the shores of St. John and St. Thomas, surveys conducted in 2011 were used to contrast: (1) a local-scale with a landscape-scale analysis on two islands, (2) reefs around St. John and St. Thomas, and (3) reefs on north and south shores. Reefs were censused using photoquadrats that were analyzed for percentage cover first by functional groups (coral, macraolagae and CTB), and then by coral genus. In general, among-site variation for the coarse-resolution analysis eclipsed shore and island effects, but the fine-resolution analysis revealed strong site-specific differences for multiple coral genera that could be the product of priority effects in community succession. Over the next decade these differences probably will create unique community trajectories at each site.
Growth, development, activity, and survival of wood frog tadpoles from different populations in eastern NY in 2022.
These data were collected as two lab experiments that examined larval (i.e., tadpole) wood frog populations. The first was a time-to-death experiment in which we exposed individuals tadpoles to either a control or lethal concentrations of NaCl. The second was a growth and development experiment in which we raised tadpoles from the same populations in a sublethal concentration of NaCl for several weeks to examine their growth and development (i.e. Gosner developmental stage).
Relyea, R. A. 2002. Local population differences in phenotypic plasticity: Predator-induced changes in wood frog tadpoles. Ecological Monographs 72:77-93
Taxa that are divided into separate populations with low levels of interpopulation dispersal have the potential to evolve genetically based differences in their phenotypes and the plasticity of those phenotypes. These differences can be due to random processes, including genetic drift and founder effects, or they can be the result of different selection pressures among populations. I investigated population-level differences in predator- induced phenotypic plasticity in eight populations of larval wood frogs (Rana sylvatica) over a small geographic scale (interpopulation distances of 0.3–8 km). Using a common-garden experiment containing predator and no-predator environments, I found population differences in behavior, morphology, and life history. These responses exhibited a habitat-related pattern: the four populations from closed-canopy ponds did not differ from each other in any of their phenotypes whereas the four populations from opencanopy ponds did differ from each other in these traits. This phenotypic pattern matches the pattern of competitors and predators found in these two types of ponds. Based on two years of pond surveys, the four closed-canopy ponds contained very similar competitor and predator assemblages while the assemblages of the four open-canopy ponds were more diverse and highly variable among open-canopy ponds. When combined with past studies, which demonstrate that predators and competitors select for alternative behavioral and morphological traits, these patterns suggest that the population differences may have arisen via natural selection and not via random mutation or drift. In a second experiment, I cross-transplanted two of the populations into each other’s ponds to determine if the populations were locally adapted to the conditions of their native pond (using low and high competition crossed with the presence or absence of a lethal predator). The populations continued to exhibit phenotypic differences, and one of the two populations t
Twice weekly monitoring of a Microtus ochrogaster population and social behavior in alfalfa in eastern Illinois, 1982-1987.
These data were obtained as part of a field study on social behavior of the prairie vole, Microtus ochrogaster in alfalfa. The study was conducted in two adjacent 1-ha alfalfa (Medicago sativa) fields within the University of Illinois Biological Research Area (Phillips Tract). Social groups were monitored over a 63-month period, from March 1982 through July 1984 in field 1 and from October 1983 to May 1987 in field 2, by locating underground and surface nests and subsequent trapping, twice weekly. 4-5 live traps were set around the entrances to underground nests and runways leading to a surface nest of social groups. Each month the study sites were also trapped at a 10-m grid interval as a part of an ongoing 25-year trapping study (Getz, L.L. 2024. Environmental Data Initiative. https://doi.org/10.6073/pasta/2dae8f08578ce31e7817c92a0f6acc87).
Blarina brevicauda populations in three different habitats in east-central Illinois, 1972 to 1997.
The population demography of the northern short-tailed shrew, Blarina brevicauda, was monitored monthly from 1972-1997 in bluegrass, alfalfa, and tallgrass prairie habitats in east-central Illinois. Blarina brevicauda were incidentally collected as part of a 25-year prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) and meadow vole (M. pennsylvanicus) trapping study. The study sites were located in the University of Illinois Biological Research Area (Phillips Tract) and Trelease Prairie. Animals were trapped with wooden multiple-capture live-traps. Over the span of 25 years, three 3-day trapping sessions monthly were conducted to cover the three habitats. All live shrews were toe-clipped at first capture for individual identification. Animals known to be present on study site, but not captured, were included in totals for that month. While trap mortality of shrews was high in this study (40%), the data obtained were sufficient for analysis of many aspects of the demography of the species.
Demographic measures of Liatris ohlingerae (Asteraceae) in 20 populations across multiple habitats and time-since-fire intervals in south central Florida from 1997-2017
Demographic data were collected on 2,858 tagged individually marked plants annually from 1997 to 2017 in 20 populations across three sites on the southern end of the Lake Wales Ridge in south central Florida, USA. Our goal was to understand demographic responses including recruitment, survival, reproduction and mortality of individuals across populations, habitat types and fire-return-intervals. Habitats include rosemary scrub, scrubby flatwoods and human created sandy roadsides. Populations spanned three sites including Archbold Biological Station (18 populations), Florida Forest Service Arbuckle Tract of the Lake Wales Ridge State Forest (1 population), and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Gould Road property (1 population). Annual demographic measures include survival (including plant dormancy), stage, measures of size, reproductive effort and herbivory. Plots were surveyed annually during flowering in August for previously marked plants and searched for newly recruited putative seedlings or previously missed larger adults. This landscape is managed with periodic prescribed fire impacting some populations with additional post-burn censuses completed after the burn. In addition, damage following three hurricanes in 2004 were recorded. Plants were followed through their lifecycle and after four years of no aboveground growth, plants were assumed dead and tags removed from the field.
Meiobenthos abundance. Long-term variability and dynamics of estuarine meiobenthic populations for North Inlet Estuary, South Carolina, from 1972 to 1992, North Inlet LTER (Reformatted to the ecocomDP Design Pattern)
This data package is formatted as an ecocomDP (Ecological Community Data Pattern). For more information on ecocomDP see https://github.com/EDIorg/ecocomDP. This Level 1 data package was derived from the Level 0 data package found here: https://pasta.lternet.edu/package/metadata/eml/knb-lter-nin/6/1. The abstract below was extracted from the Level 0 data package and is included for context: The original purpose of this research was to determine if natural meiobenthic assemblages exhibited continuity over time and to monitor several physical variables to determine if these influenced long-term temporal patterns. The most recent study focused on variation and the relations of meiobenthos abundance with environmental factors over 11 years. Typically marine benthic community studies are limited temporally and the majority of previously published 'longterm' meiofauna results (all taxa) were based on about a year's duration.
Virgin Islands National Park: Coral Reef: Populations Dynamics: Population Projections
In this study, size-based matrix models for the reef-building coral Orbicella annularis at 14-m depth on the Tektite reef in St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands, were used to: (1) explore the demography of changing coral cover over 25 yr, (2) test for spatial homogeneity in demographic properties through a contrast with a previous study (at Yawzi Point, Edmunds and Elahi 2007), and (3) evaluate the potential for future population stability. During three, five year intervals from 1988 to 2002, St. John was affected by hurricanes and bleaching, yet coral cover at Tektite increased from 33% to 49%; from 2002 to 2007, it declined to 27%; and from 2010 to 2013, it stabilized at ∼ 28%. Over a quarter-century, colonies > 50 cm2 became rare, the abundance of colonies ≤ 50 cm2 increased from 58% (1988) to 92% (2013), and population density doubled to 67 colonies m-2 by 2013. Population growth (λ) was greater at Tektite (1.152 ≥ λ ≥ 1.018) than Yawzi Point (0.679 ≥ λ ≥ 0.586), and while population size at Tektite declined due to bleaching and disease in 2005 (λ = 0.753 over 2003–2008), it recovered between 2008 and 2013 (λ = 0.966); the population at Yawzi Point declined from 1988 to 2003 without signs of recovery. Projections suggest a continuation of recent conditions could allow O. annularis at Tektite to retain ∼ 9% cover after 100 yr, but with a return to the rates of growth and survival of 1993–1998, it could attain coverage similar to that of 1988 (33%) in ∼ 15 yr.
Virgin Islands National Park: Coral Reef: Population Dynamics: Octocorals
These data are evidence of the the long-term dynamics of shallow coral reefs along the south coast of St. John from as early as 1987. These data describe coral reef community structure by density based on the analysis of color photographs. All of these data originate from color images of photoquadrats recorded annually (usually in the summer) from as early as 1987. The data falls into three groups. The two groups that are contained in this data package are (1) Tektite & Yawzi and (2) Random sites. Tektite – this is at 14 m depth on the eastern side of Great Lameshur Bay and is the original site of the Tektite man-in-the sea project in 1969; this project marked the birth of the Virgin Islands Ecological Research Station (later the Virgin Islands Environmental Resource Station) that hosts the field component of the project. The reef in this location consists of a single buttress that has remained dominated by Montastraea anularis since the start of the research (1987). These surveys consist of 30 photoquadrats (1 x 1 m) distributed along three, 10 m transects. Yawzi – this is at 9 m depth and is on the western side of Great Lameshur Bay and has been recorded photographically since 1987. This reef also started the study period dominated by Montastraea annularis, but has degraded much more rapidly that the Tektite site. These surveys consist of 30 photoquadrats (1 x 1 m) distributed along three, 10 m transects. Random sites – were added in 1992 to address the concern that the original sites (Yawzi and Tektite) were selected on “good” areas of reef and, therefore, could only decline in condition. The Random sites were selected using random coordinates in 1992, and consist of 6 sites (at 7-9 m depth) scattered between Cabritte Point and White Point. All lie a little shoreward of Yawzi and Tektite, and have always been characterized by low coral cover (< 10% cover). The surveys consist of 18-40 photoquadrats (0.5 x 0.5 m; with sample size determined by the exposures on a 3
Mammalian herbivores restrict the altitudinal range limits of three alpine grass species (transplant and herbivore exclusion experiment and demographic data from natural populations), West Elk Mountains, Colorado, USA 2015-2018
Though rarely experimentally tested, biotic interactions have long been hypothesized to limit low-elevation range boundaries of species. We tested the effects of herbivory on three alpine-restricted plant species by transplanting plants below (novel), at the edge (limit), or in the center (core) of their current elevational range and factorially fencing-out above- and belowground mammals in the West Elk Mountains, Colorado, USA from 2015-2018. Herbivore damage was greater in range limit and novel habitats than in range cores. Exclosures increased plant biomass and reproduction more in novel habitats than in range cores, suggesting demographic costs of novel interactions with herbivores. We then used demographic models to project population growth rates, which increased 5-20% more under herbivore exclosure at range limit and novel sites than in core habitats. Our results identify mammalian herbivores as key drivers of the low-elevation range limits of alpine plants and indicate that upward encroachment of herbivores could trigger local extinctions by depressing plant population growth.

The abstract below was extracted from the Level 0 data package and is included for context: This study explores the population dynamics of black-tail jackrabbits (Lepus californicus) and desert cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus auduboni) in the grasslands and creosote shrublands of McKenzie Flats, Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge. The study was initiated in January 1992, and continues quarterly each year. Rabbits are sampled via night-time spotlight transect sampling along the roads of McKenzie Flats once during winter, spring, summer, and fall. The route is 21.5 miles long. Measurements of perpendicular distance of each rabbit from the center of the road are used to estimate densities (number of rabbits per square kilometer) via Program DISTANCE. Results from January 1992 to May 2004 indicated that spring was the period of peak density period, with generally steady declines through the rest of the year until the following spring. Evidence of a long-term "cycle" (e.g., the 11-year-cycle reported for rabbits in the Great Basin Desert) does not appear in the Sevilleta rabbit populations.
