Data from: Rates of dinosaur body mass evolution indicate 170 million years of sustained ecological innovation on the avian stem lineage
Large-scale adaptive radiations might explain the runaway success of a minority of extant vertebrate clades. This hypothesis predicts, among other things, rapid rates of morphological evolution during the early history of major groups, as lineages invade disparate ecological niches. However, few studies of adaptive radiation have included deep time data, so the links between extant diversity and major extinct radiations are unclear. The intensively studied Mesozoic dinosaur record provides a model system for such investigation, representing an ecologically diverse group that dominated terrestrial ecosystems for 170 million years. Furthermore, with 10,000 species, extant dinosaurs (birds) are the most speciose living tetrapod clade. We assembled composite trees of 614–622 Mesozoic dinosaurs/birds, and a comprehensive body mass dataset using the scaling relationship of limb bone robustness. Maximum-likelihood modelling and the node height test reveal rapid evolutionary rates and a predominance of rapid shifts among size classes in early (Triassic) dinosaurs. This indicates an early burst niche-filling pattern and contrasts with previous studies that favoured gradualistic rates. Subsequently, rates declined in most lineages, which rarely exploited new ecological niches. However, feathered maniraptoran dinosaurs (including Mesozoic birds) sustained rapid evolution from at least the Middle Jurassic, suggesting that these taxa evaded the effects of niche saturation. This indicates that a long evolutionary history of continuing ecological innovation paved the way for a second great radiation of dinosaurs, in birds. We therefore demonstrate links between the predominantly extinct deep time adaptive radiation of non-avian dinosaurs and the phenomenal diversification of birds, via continuing rapid rates of evolution along the phylogenetic stem lineage. This raises the possibility that the uneven distribution of biodiversity results not just from large-scale extrapolation of the process of adaptive radiation in a few extant clades, but also from the maintenance of evolvability on vast time scales across the history of life, in key lineages.

Development and Implementation of Sustainable Transportation Resilience Indicators
<p>Communities are complex systems subject to a variety of hazards that can result in significant disruption to critical functions. Community resilience assessment is gaining popularity as a means to help communities better prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruption. Sustainable resilience, a recently developed concept, requires communities to assess system-wide capability to maintain desired performance levels, while simultaneously evaluating impacts to resilience due to changes in hazards and vulnerability over extended periods of time.</p> <p>In an earlier work, the authors developed a classification scheme to aid in identification, selection and application of community sustainable resilience indicators that can be tailored to a community’s needs in operationalizing the assessment process. These indicators were characterized according to whether they aligned with social, economic or environmental systems that are necessary for a community to achieve a sustainable resilience domain of survival, well-being, or full preparedness.</p> <p>Of the critical infrastructure systems that support these systems and domains, transportation is arguably the most important. This is based on the premise that transportation is a means to an end, providing the mobility that enables a community to establish and maintain a social, economic and environmental fabric. Whether it involves an educational, medical, recreational, religious, work or other purpose, absent a safe and reliable transportation system, none of these activities can be satisfactorily pursued. Moreover, in times of crisis, transportation serves as a vital artery for enabling access to and egress from impacted areas.</p> <p>The objective of this project was to establish and demonstrate a method for evaluating a community’s transportation resilience, such that if deficiencies exist, attention can be focused on mitigating those concerns. This approach was designed around the scenario of a river valley community exposed to the threat of a significant flood event, with the expectation that the methodology has the potential to be extended to assess community resilience to other natural and manmade hazards.</p>

Constructing an Indicator System for Cultural Sustainability in Chinese Cities under the Objective of Urban Renewal and Capability Measurement
<p>This paper adopts the top-down approach based on the interpretation and connotation of the seven first-level and 22 second-level indicators formulated above. At the same time, we are designing the tertiary indicator database in strict accordance with the principles of scientific, systematic, and adaptive construction of the indicator system. After deliberation and modification according to the actual situation, 179 three-level indicators are formulated in Appendix 1 for details. </p>
