Data from: Pathogen-mediated selection and management implications for white-tailed deer exposed to chronic wasting disease

Pathogens can cause host extinction, affect population dynamics, and influence natural selection. Host susceptibility to pathogens can vary by species, demographics, and genetics which affect epizootic dynamics; ultimately determining population trends and evolution. Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a fatal neuro-degenerative prion disease of cervids, has varying host susceptibility conferred by polymorphisms of the prion protein gene (PRNP) at the 96 codon for white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Deer with the homozygous Glycine allele (96GG) are most susceptible and a single Serine allele (96GS/96SS) reduces the risk of infection and mortality. We developed epizootiological models that demonstrate CWD infection and disease-associated mortality were higher for the more susceptible (96GG) genotype; and, infection was higher for males than females. We used population models to evaluate future shifts in genotype frequencies under alternative harvest and infection rate scenarios. Genetic shifts towards less susceptible genotypes were predicted as CWD prevalence increased during the course of an outbreak. This further increased CWD prevalence, and likely environmental contamination from prion shedding, due to longer incubation periods. Alternative harvest management strategies directly influenced CWD prevalence and spread, the rate of genetic selection, and deer population growth. Synthesis and applications: We show that CWD transmission varied by sex, age classes, and genotypes, and that CWD disease-associated mortality varied by genotype. Together, these forces lead to CWD-mediated genetic selection for a white-tailed deer population. We predict that genetic selection pressure increases when hunter harvest pressure is lowered, and conversely, increasing hunter harvest can reduce genetic selection rates of antlered deer. Our results support the control of CWD prevalence by aggressive harvest of adult males because they have the highest infection rates. Our results have strong implications for evolution, disease ecology, geographic spread, disease mitigation, and cervid population management.

Data for: Genetic relatedness shapes social dynamics in a threatened finch: Implications for population assessment

Tropical granivorous finches often form large flocks around resources. The composition of these flocks, whether they are random groups of individuals or comprise related birds travelling together, is currently unknown. Understanding this distinction would aid in assessing the accuracy of population counts. To bridge this knowledge gap, we combined high-frequency location tracking with comprehensive genetic sequencing to investigate the relationship between pairwise association strength and genetic relatedness in Gouldian finches (Erythrura gouldiae). Our study revealed that birds captured near each other were more inclined to travel together, and their relatedness was significantly linked to the strength of their association. These findings suggest that within-flock associations are influenced by genetic relatedness, contributing to the stability of the flock size. We propose that juvenile kin associations play a pivotal role in this dynamic, potentially enhancing survival rates by forming sibling subgroups. The consistent flock sizes of Gouldian finches during movement have implications for estimating population sizes from waterhole counts, allowing flocks to be considered as distinct units for concurrent counts at multiple waterholes. This approach would offer a reasonably accurate method for estimating local populations, and conducting repeated counts on consecutive days could provide reliable and replicable results.

Strain partitioning, transfer and implications for ongoing processes of the intra-continental graben formation in the NW margin of the Ordos block, China: insights from densified GNSS measurements

GNSS data and processing 1. Intensive observations In this study, in addition to GNSS data surveyed around the Ordos block provided by Hao et al. (2021), we collected GNSS data surveyed west of 103°E from Phases I and II of the Crustal Movement Observation Network of China (CMONOC), which has conducted measurements every one or two years from 1999 to 2019. In particular, we also collected data from 70 GNSS sites deployed by <a name="OLE_LINK49"></a><a name="OLE_LINK50"></a><a name="OLE_LINK82"></a>the National Geodetic Control Network of China (NGCNC). These sites were distributed in the northwestern boundary of the Ordos block and the interior of the Alashan and Ejina blocks and first measured 72 hours of data in 2014 or 2015. From September to October 2021, we conducted the second set of measurements for these GNSS sites of 96 continuous hours.   2. Data processing The GAMIT package (Herring et al., 2015a) was employed to process the double-differenced carrier phase observations, and daily loosely constrained solutions were obtained. The primary geophysical models and parameters used in the processing, such as the FES2004 tidal loading model, GPT2 global pressure and temperature model (Lagler et al., 2013), and VMF1 mapping function (Boehm et al., 2006), are the same as those in Hao et al. (2021). Instead of incorporating global daily solutions provided by the IGS analysis centers, we also processed data from ~70 evenly distributed global International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) core tracking GNSS sites using the GAMIT package with the same models. We estimated daily coordinates and uncertainties by constraining the daily regional solutions with global solutions, and the daily free network solutions were transformed into the ITRF2014 (Altamimi et al., 2017) reference frame by utilizing the GLOBK package (Herring et al., 2015b). For campaign GNSS sites, the weighted least-squares adjustment was used to solve the linear velocity with respect to the ITRF2014. To analyze the differential crustal motion between blocks, we selected the stable Ordos block as the regional reference frame and transformed the GNSS velocity field referenced to the ITRF2014 into the Ordos-fixed frame through Euler rotation. The absolute Euler pole of the Ordos block is located at 75.083°N ± 0.850° and 139.692°W ± 3.701°, with an angular rotation rate of 0.352 ± 0.006°/Ma (Hao et al., 2021).   References Altamimi, Z., Métivier, L, Rebischung, P., Rouby, H., Collilieux, X., 2017.

Records Management Practices in the Assemblies of God Church, Nigeria: Implications for Administrative Effectiveness

The study assessed records management practices in the Assemblies of Church and its implications on administrative effectiveness. Total enumeration was used to elicit 1,395 respondents from the Church with the use of questionnaire. Data obtained were described with the use of questionnaire and analyzed with Pearson’ Product Moment Correlation (PPMC). Results showed that financial, minutes, annual report and other records were created and managed. However, financial records, board meeting records, church activities record(s) and income and expenditure records were adequately managed. Minutes records were the records of long-term value created and maintained, and most of the records were kept in the archives. It was established that relationship existed between records managed and administrative effectiveness in the Church. Thus, records managed properly are therefore crucial for administrative effectiveness.

The Future of Journalism: AI Acceptance and It's Implication in Newsroom

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in journalism marks a significant evolution in news reporting and the media landscape, while at the same time introducing changes at least on three levels: the role of journalists in text production, their replacement in executing some activities, and interaction with the audience. This study proposes a conceptual model based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to understand the acceptance of AI in Newsrooms in Indonesia. From the measurement results, a total of 100 respondents were obtained for the study. The acceptance was examined using linear regression analysis, with the TAM Model and UTAUT Model serving as the theoretical framework and the following independent variables: Perceived Ease of Use (PE) and Usefulness (UT) and Effort Expectancy (SAP). From the findings, it's clear that various factors positively influence the behavior intention (BI) in adopting AI within the newsroom context. To effectively adopt AI, selecting technologies that prioritize user benefits and performance enhancement is crucial. Decision-makers recognize AI's potential to significantly aid journalistic work in the future, indicating a growing acceptance and integration of AI technologies in newsroom operations.

This repository includes the data and code to reproduce the results for the study "Confounding effects of leaf angle dynamics on vegetation indices - implications for monitoring vegetation from space". The study shows that leaf angle dynamics systematically confound widely applied vegetation indices. Moreover, it is demonstrated that these effects are not random but tightly linked to abiotic environmental conditions. These findings demonstrate both challenges and opportunities for using VIs for vegetation monitoring.
