Data from: Metabarcoding of fecal pellets in wild muskox populations reveals negative relationships between microbiome and diet alpha diversity
<p>Microbiome diversity and diet composition concomitantly influence species health, fitness, immunity, and digestion. In environments where diet varies spatially and temporally, microbiome plasticity may promote rapid host adaptation to available resources. For northern ungulates in particular, metabarcoding of noninvasively collected fecal pellets presents unprecedented insights into their diverse ecological requirements and niches by clarifying the interrelationships of microbiomes, key to deriving nutrients, in context of altered forage availability in changing climates. Muskoxen (<em>Ovibos moschatus</em>) are Arctic-adapted species that experience fluctuating qualities and quantities of vegetation. Geography and seasonality have been noted to influence microbiome composition and diversity in muskoxen, yet it is unclear how their microbiomes intersect with diet. Following observations from other species, we hypothesized increasing diet diversity would result in higher microbiome diversity in muskoxen. We assessed diet composition in muskoxen using three common plant metabarcoding markers and explored correlations with microbiome data. Patterns of dietary diversity and composition were not fully concordant among the markers used, yet all reflected the primary consumption of willows and sedges. Individuals with similar diets had more similar microbiomes, yet in contrast to most literature, yielded negative relationships between microbiome and diet alpha diversity. This negative correlation may reflect the unique capacities of muskoxen to survive solely on high-fiber Arctic forage and provide insight into their resiliency to exploit changing dietary resources in a rapidly warming Arctic altering vegetation diversity.</p>

Data from: Mammal-bearing gastric pellets potentially attributable to Troodon formosus at the Cretaceous Egg Mountain locality, Two Medicine Formation, Montana, U.S.A.
<p>Fossil gastric pellets (regurgitalites) have distinct taphonomic characteristics that facilitate inferences of behavioural ecology in deep time, despite their rarity in the fossil record. Using the taphonomic patterns of both extant and fossil small mammals from more recent geologic deposits as a guide, we assess the taphonomy of three unusual multi-individual aggregates of mammal skeletons from paleosols at Egg Mountain, a dinosaur nesting locality from the Upper Cretaceous Two Medicine Formation, Montana, USA. One aggregate consists of two individuals of the multituberculate <i>Filikomys primaevus</i>. This specimen is characterized by brecciated crania, articulated postcrania, and an absence of digestive markings, all suggestive of a non-predatory origin. Two additional aggregates consist of three and eleven individuals, respectively, primarily of the marsupialiform <i>Alphadon halleyi</i>. High proportions of crania and indigestible elements (e.g. teeth), extensive disarticulation and breakage, digestive corrosion patterns, and the absence of a phosphatic ground mass are indicative of regurgitalites and align with features of extant prey in diurnal raptor gastric pellets. We interpret these specimens as the oldest known mammal-bearing regurgitalites. The discrepancy in taphonomic features implies behavioural separation between the two mammalian taxa at the locality. Abundant shed teeth and nesting evidence at the locality favors <i>Troodon formosus </i>as the predator responsible for the regurgitalites, congruent with previous inferences of a small-bodied prey diet, manipulation of prey during feeding, heightened metabolic processes, and potential nocturnality for this taxon.</p>
Hematology and health status of Pangasianodon hypophthalmus fed with Moringa oleifera enriched pellets and infected with Aeromonas hydrophila
<p><em>Moringa oleifera</em> leaves can be used to improve the health of fish in general. To understand the effectiveness of moringa leaves powder addition in improving the immunity of <em>Pangasianodon hypophthalmus</em> toward <em>Aeromonas hydrophila</em> attack, This study has been conducted from June to September 2022. The fish was fed with moringa powder enriched pellets and then infected with <em>A.hydrophila</em>. There were 4 treatments applied, namely Negative Control (no moringa and no infection), Positive Control (no moringa, infection), T1 (5 g/kg, infection), T2 (10 g/kg, infection), and T3 (15 g/kg, infection). The fingerlings of <em>P.hypopthalmus</em> (3.5±0.5g BW) were reared for 45 days (1 fish/4L water) and fed 3 times/day, 5% of body weight. <em>A.hydrophila</em> was infected through injection (0.1 mL of 108 CFU/mL) on the 31st day. The hematology of the fish was checked on the 31st day and the 14th day after infection (or on the 45th day of the research). Results showed that after being treated with moringa for 30 days, the hematology of fish in all treatments showed almost no difference. However, the Phagocytic Index was slightly higher in the moringa-treated fish, they were around 20.33% (in NC and PC) and 23.33-25.67% (in T1, T2, and T3) respectively. On the 14th day after the infection, the Phagocytic Index increased to 26.67%; 29.00%, and 30.33% in T1, T2, and T3 respectively. There was no Positive Control fish that survive by the end of the experiment, while 88.89 – 97.77% of moringa-treated fish survive, and the infection wound was completely cured. Data obtained indicate the Moringa addition in the fish feed pellets is effective to improve the immunity of <em>P.hypopthalmus</em> against <em>A.hydrophila</em> infection</p>
Data from: Genetic mark-recapture analysis of winter faecal pellets allows estimation of population size in sage grouse Centrocercus urophasianus
<p><span>Sex ratio, and the extent to which it varies over time, is an important factor in the demography, management, and conservation of wildlife populations. We estimated pre-breeding sex ratio of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in a peripheral, geographically isolated population in northwestern Colorado during two consecutive winters using closed-population, robust-design, multi-state, genetic mark-recapture models in program MARK (White and Burnham 1999). This data release includes the data files (.inp format) used in those models, as described in Shyvers et al. 2023. The data include capture histories and auxiliary data for individual greater sage-grouse collected during two study seasons: Season 1 (winter 2012-2013) and Season 2 (winter 2013-2014) and are readable using program MARK or notepad. Each data row includes the unique bird identification number (GMR-ID); the bird's encounter history for n= sampling occasions coded as a static state (M = male, F = female); the group ID; and a region covariate (0 = North, 1 = South). The data were adapted from those originally developed for Shyvers et al. 2020 and applied using Closed Robust Design Multi-state (CRDMS) Huggins' p and c w/state probabilities in program MARK to obtain estimates of Omega, enabling estimation of sex ratio with associated confidence intervals (see Shyvers et al. 2023).</span></p> <p>References:</p> <p>Shyvers, J.E., Walker, B.L., Oyler-McCance, S.J., Fike, J.A. and Noon, B.R. 2023.
