Data from: The importance of shrubland and local agroecological practices for pumpkin production in sub-Saharan smallholdings
<p>Land-use and local field management affect pollinators, pest damage, and ultimately crop yields. Agroecology is implemented as a sustainable alternative to conventional agricultural practices, but little is known about its potential for pollination and pest management. Sub-Saharan Africa is underrepresented in studies investigating the relative importance of pests and pollinators for crop productivity and how this might be influenced by surrounding landscapes or agroecological practices. In Malawi, we selected 24 smallholder farms differing in landscape-scale shrubland cover, implementation of manual pest removal as an indicator of an agroecological pest management practice, and the number of agroecological soil practices employed at the household level, such as mulching, intercropping, and soil conservation tillage. We established pumpkin plots and assessed the abundance and richness of flower visitors and damage of flowers (florivory) caused by pest herbivores on flowers. Using a full-factorial hand pollination and exclusion experiment on each plot, we investigated the relative contribution of pollination and florivory to pumpkin yield. Increasing shrubland cover decreased honeybee abundance but increased the abundance and richness of non-honeybee visitors. Manual removal of herbivores considered to be pests reduced flower visitors, whereas more agroecological soil management practices increased flower visitors. Neither shrubland cover nor agroecological management affected florivory. Pollinator limitation, but not florivory, constrained pumpkin fruit set, and increasing visitor richness decreased the relative differences between hand- and animal-pollinated flowers. We recommend improved protection of shrubland habitats and increasing agroecological soil practices to promote pollinator richness on smallholder farms.</p>

Data and code for: Species-specific effects of production practices on genetic diversity in plant reintroduction programs
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Plant production practices can influence the genetic diversity of cultivated plant materials and, ultimately, their potential to adapt to a reintroduction site. A common step in the plant production process is the application of seed pre-treatment to alleviate physiological seed dormancy and successfully germinate seeds. In production settings, the seeds that germinate more rapidly may be favored in order to fill plant quotas. In this study, we investigated how the application of cold-moist stratification treatments with different durations can lead to differences in the genetic diversity of the propagated plant materials. Specifically, we exposed seeds of three <em>Viola</em> species to two different cold stratification durations, and then we analyzed the genetic diversity of the resulting subpopulations through </span><span>double-digestion restriction site-associated sequencing (ddRADseq). Our results show that, in two out of three species, utilizing a short stratification period will decrease the genetic diversity of neutral and expressed loci, likely due to the imposition of a genetic bottleneck and artificial selection. We conclude that, in some species, the use of minimal stratification practices in production may jeopardize the adaptive potential and long-term persistence of reintroduced populations and suggest that practitioners carefully consider the evolutionary implications of their production protocols. We highlight the need to consider the germination ecology of target species when selecting the length of dormancy-breaking pre-treatments.</span></p>

Data from: A universal tool for marine metazoan species identification – Towards best practices in proteomic fingerprinting
<p><span>Proteomic fingerprinting using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry is a well-established tool for identifying microorganisms and has shown promising results for identification of animal species, particularly disease vectors and marine organisms. However, few studies have tested species identification across different orders and classes. In this study, we collected data from 1,246 specimens and 198 species to test species identification in a diverse dataset. We also evaluated different specimen preparation and data processing approaches for machine learning and developed a workflow to optimize classification using random forest. Our results showed high success rates of over 90%, but we also found that the size of the reference library affects classification error. Additionally, we demonstrated the ability of the method to differentiate marine cryptic-species complexes and to distinguish sexes within species.</span></p>
Data from: Advances and shortfalls in applying best practices to global tree-growing efforts
<p>As global tree-growing efforts have escalated in the past decade, copious failures and unintended consequences have prompted many reforestation best practices guidelines. The extent to which organizations have integrated these ecological and socioeconomic recommendations, however, remains uncertain. We reviewed websites of 99 intermediary organizations that promote and fund tree-growing projects to determine how well they report following best practices. Nearly half the organizations stated tree or area planting targets, but only 25% had measurable, time-bound objectives. Most organizations discussed the benefits local communities would receive from trees, but only 38% reported measures of these outcomes. Non-profit organizations with greater prior experience converged more closely on best practices, and their level of scientific expertise was positively associated with clearer project selection standards. Although many tree-growing organizations acknowledge the importance of clear goals, local community involvement, and monitoring, our results raise questions regarding whether long-term benefits are being achieved and emphasize the need for stronger public accountability standards.</p>

Data from: cultural attraction in pottery practice: group-specific shape transformations by potters from three communities
<p>Pottery is a quintessential indicator of human cultural dynamics. Cultural alignment of behavioral repertoires and artifacts has been considered to rest upon two distinct dynamics: selective transmission of information and culture-specific biased transformation. In a cross-cultural field experiment, we tested whether community-specific morphological features of ceramic vessels would arise when the same unfamiliar shapes were reproduced by professional potters from three different communities who threw vessels using wheels. We analyzed the details of the underlying morphogenesis development of vessels in wheel throwing. When expert potters from three different communities of practice were instructed to faithfully reproduce common unfamiliar model shapes that were not parts of the daily repertoires, the morphometric variation in the final shape was not random; rather, different potters produced vessels with more morphometric variation among than within communities, indicating the presence of community-specific deviations of morphological features of vessels. Furthermore, this was found both in the final shape and in the underlying process of morphogenesis; there was more variation in the morphogenetic path among than within communities. These results suggest that the morphological features of ceramic vessels produced by potters reliably and nonrandomly diverge among different communities.</p>
Bird and vegetation diversity in Chaco forests under different cattle management practices
<p>Birds play key roles in forest dynamics, favoring the resilience of forests to cattle ranching. Generalist species may benefit from changes in the vegetation structure caused by cattle grazing while specialist species are usually negatively affected. Therefore, studying changes in taxonomic and functional bird diversity can provide valuable information in order to propose sustainable cattle management practices. Here, we study the influence of different cattle management practices (Cattle Exclusion: FCE; Continuous grazing: FCG; Rotational grazing: FRG; Seasonal grazing: FSG) on the understory vegetation structure, and the bird taxonomic and functional diversity in humid Chaco forests of Argentina. Forests under grazing had an open (FCG) or semi-open (FRG and FSG) understory, whereas FCE presented a closed understory with higher plant richness. Generalized linear models revealed a decrease in bird richness and abundance under most cattle management practices compared to FCE. However, FRG was most similar to FCE in terms of vegetation structure and showed no differences in bird richness. FCE presented the lowest values of functional diversity while FCG and FRG showed the highest values. A fourth-corner analysis showed that FCE was associated with insectivorous species which forage and nest in the shrub layer, reflecting a possible loss of ecosystem services in forests with cattle grazing. We propose FRG as the most appropriate cattle management option and the least detrimental to bird assemblages. However, maintaining protected areas that exclude cattle ranching activities will be key to striking a balance between the conservation of most specialist species and beef production.</p>

Caffeine citrate status, availability and practice across Nigeria, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa and five States in India
<p>Apnea of prematurity (AOP) is a common complication among preterm infants (<37 weeks gestation), globally. However, access to caffeine citrate (CC) that is a proven safe and effective treatment in high income countries is largely unavailable in low-and-middle income countries, where most preterm infants are born. Therefore, the overall aim of this study was to describe the demand, policies, and supply factors affecting the availability and clinical use of CC in LMICs.</p> <p>A mixed methods approach was used to collect data from diverse settings in LMICs including Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, and India. Qualitative semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions were conducted with different health care providers, policymakers, and stakeholders from industry. Additional data was collected using standard questionnaires. A thematic framework approach was used to analyze the qualitative data and descriptive statistics were used to summarize the quantitative data. The findings indicate that there is variation in in-country policies on the use of CC in the prevention and treatment of AOP and its availability across the LMICs. As a result, the knowledge and experience of using CC also varied with clinicians on Ethiopia having no experience of using it while those in India have greater knowledge and experience of using it. The in turn influenced the demand and our findings show that only 29% of eligible preterm infants are receiving CC in these countries.</p> <p>There is an urgent need to address the multilevel barriers to accessing CC for management of AOP in Africa. These include cost, lack of national policies and therefore lack of demand stemming from its clinical equivalency with aminophylline. Practical ways to reduce the cost of CC in LMICs could potentially increase its availability and use.</p>

Assessment of Self-Medication Practices and Safety Profile of Medicines Utilisation among Pregnant Women attending Antenatal Clinics in Freetown, Sierra Leone: A Multicentre Cross-Sectional Descriptive Study
<p><strong><span>Background: </span></strong><span>Despite the potential fetal and maternal risks of self-medication, studies on self-medication practice and the safety profile of medicines used during pregnancy are scarce in our setting. This study determined the self-medication practice and safety profile of medicines used among pregnant women.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Methods: </span></strong><span>This cross-sectional study was conducted in face-to-face interviews among 345 pregnant women at three hospitals in Sierra Leone. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression to <span>determine the prevalence and associated factors of self-medication. </span></span></p> <p><strong><span>Results: </span></strong><span>A total of 345 pregnant women participated in the study. The prevalence of self-medication among pregnant women with conventional and/or herbal medicine was </span><span>132 (38.3%)</span><span>. Also, 93 (75%) of the conventional medicines (CMs) were categorized as probably safe, of which paracetamol 36 (29.0%) was commonly used, followed by amoxicillin 23 (18.5%) and antimalarials 22 (17.7%) for common illnesses such as </span><span>headache 30 (25.4%), </span><span>urinary tract infection </span><span>23 (19.4%)<span> and malaria 22 (18.6%). The common reason for self-medication was previous experience with the disease 24 (27.3%). </span><em>Luffa acutangula</em> 19 (30.2%) <span>was the most used herbal medicine (HM), </span>and Oedema 30 (47.6%) was the most reported ailment. <span>Among the HM users,</span> 34 (54.0%)<span> believe they are more effective than CMs. Secondary school education (AOR = 2.128, 95%CI = 1.191 – 3.804, p = 0.011), tertiary education (AOR = 2.915, 95%CI = 1.104 – 7.693, p = 0.031), monthly income of greater than NLe 1,000 (AOR = 4.084, 95% CI = 1.269 – 13.144, p = 0.018), and perceived maternal illness (AOR = 0.367, CI = 0.213 – 0.632, p = <0.001) were predictors of self-medication.</span></span></p> <p><strong><span>Conclusion: </span></strong><span>Self-medication practice was highly prevalent and was associated with educational status, monthly income, and maternal illness during pregnancy. Therefore, intervention programs should be designed and implemented to minimize the practice and risk associated with self-medication among pregnant women.</span></p>
