The modelling pastes of the monumental terracruda sculpture of the Silk Roads: archaeometric study of the Tepe Narenj and Qol-e-tut examples (Kabul, Afghanistan)
<p>These data are the results of the mineralogical, petrographic and chemical study of different archaeological samples related to terracruda sculptures and other elements that were part of the architectural decoration of the Buddhist sites of Tepe Narenj and Qol-e-tut (Kabul, Afghanistan - 5th to 11th centuries CE). The main objective of the study was to characterize the samples using an archaeometric approach. The study helped to better understand the materials involved in the modelling of Afghan sculptures and their processing, such as the different nature of the clay layers and the finishing "stucco" coating. The results further indicate that similarities exist among the manufacturing process of the studied samples and that used today by an ancient caste of clay-artists in West Bengal (India), suggesting the existence of a continuous technological tradition that deserves to be further explored in the future. </p> <p><strong>Supplementary materials – S1. </strong>Bengali artist adding <em>bele-mati</em> to model the final shape of a terracruda sculpture (Kumortuli, Kolkata, 2019).</p> <p><strong>Supplementary materials - S2. </strong>Pictures of the sculpture samples</p> <p><strong>Supplementary materials - S3. </strong>Pictures of the relief and mural painting samples</p> <p><strong>Supplementary materials - S4</strong>.

A past and present perspective on the European summer vapour pressure deficit
<p>Here, we present the first gridded reconstruction of the European summer vapour pressure deficit (VPD) for the past four centuries (see https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-2022-47 for the study). The gridded reconstruction is based on 26 European tree-ring oxygen isotope records and is performed using a Random Forest approach. Furthermore, we provide summer VPD data derived from 20CRV3 for the period 1836 to 2015 (Slivinski et al., 2019). </p> <p>The data is structured as follows:</p> <ul> <li>VPD_final_nested_reconstruction.nc -> contains the summer VPD reconstruction for the past 400 years</li> <li>CE_final_*_.nc -> provides the Coefficient of Efficiency metric for each time slice of the rec. (Nash and Sutcliffe, 1970)</li> <li>VPD_20CR_JJA.nc -> VPD data derived from 20CRV3 for the period 1836 to 2015 (Slivinski et al., 2019)</li> </ul> <p> </p>

A cropland cover dataset for the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River over the past millennium
<p>We developed a new gridding allocation model for croplands with unequal weight factors and reconstructed 58 time-point cropland cover maps at a 10-km resolution for the past millennium in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River in China. The cropland dataset can be used to model past climate change, estimate carbon emissions, assess human-activity-induced ecological effects, and improve global historical land use scenarios.</p>

Data from: Effects of past mating behavior versus past ejaculation on male mate choice and male attractiveness
<p>Past reproductive effort allows males to assess their ability to acquire mates, but it also consumes resources that can reduce their future competitive ability. Few studies have examined how a male's reproductive history affects his subsequent mate choice; and, to date, no study has determined the relative contribution of past mating behavior and past ejaculate production because these two forms of investment are naturally highly correlated. Here, we disentangled the relative effects of past mating behavior and past ejaculate production in male mosquitofish (<em>Gambusia holbrooki</em>) by experimentally preventing some males from ejaculating when trying to mate. We assessed the effect of mating behavior on mate choice by comparing males that had previously been with or without access to females and male rivals for 16 weeks; and assessed the effect of ejaculation on mate choice by comparing males that either could or could not ejaculate when they had access to females for 16 weeks. We compared (1) time females spent with each male, (2) total distance males swam, (3) total time males spent inspecting females, (4) proportion of time males spent with the solitary females in separate models, with age (week 8, week 16) and treatment of reproductive history ("naive male", "mating only male" and "mating and ejaculation males") as fixed factors. </p> <p>We showed that reproductive history did not affect male attractiveness, but it did affect male mate choice. Somewhat surprisingly, in two-choice trials males from all three treatments preferred females in the vicinity of a rival over solitary females. This preference was marginally stronger for males engaging in previous mating behavior but was unaffected by past ejaculate production. This is the first study to quantify the relative influence of pre- and post-copulatory reproductive investment on male mate choice.</p>
