Data from: Resource partitioning and interspecific interactions among sympatric rain forest arboreal mammals of the Western Ghats, India
<p>Resource partitioning in a community of diurnal arboreal mammals consisting of the lion-tailed macaque Macaca silenus, bonnet macaque (BM) Macaca radiata, Nilgiri langur Semnopithecus johnii, and the Indian giant squirrel Ratufa indica of the Western Ghats, southern India, was studied. Differences in their diet, vertical stratification, food resource niche breadth, niche overlap, and behavioral interactions were examined. Resource partitioning was through differential habitat use, resource use, and vertical stratification. Of the four species, the BM was not a resident species and made frequent forays into evergreen forest from the adjacent deciduous forest during the flowering season of Cullenia exarillata and fruiting season of Ficus microcarpa. The macaques had narrower niches, and the langur and the squirrel had wider niches. Niche overlap was highest between the two macaques. Overlap among the study species was particularly pronounced during the flowering of C. exarillata. There was significant correlation between niche overlap and intolerance among the study species. Certain species pairs showed little or no mutual intolerance despite high overlap. Cooperative interactions such as alarm calls occurred more frequently among the resident species. Interaction matrices revealed an underlying pattern of interspecific dominance hierarchy, with the BM dominating over the other three species. Our study suggests that the BM do not coexist with the other three because of high overlap with its congener and low occurrence of cooperative interactions.</p>

<p>A vector data set in ESRI Shapefile format (EPSG: 2180). </p> <p>The changes in peatland areas were analysed on the basis of 1:100,000 Prussian maps – Karte des Deutschen Reiches – from the years 1876-1879 (11 map sheets) and 1:50,000 Polish topographic maps showing the state of land cover in the years 1966-86</p> <p>The analyses resulted in a map of the density of peatland distribution in the Tuchola Pinewoods in 1879. 744 peatlands were identified in the Tuchola Pinewoods in the late 19th century, totalling 10,762 ha, which constitutes 3.03% of the study area. The smallest marked peatland covered 0.12 ha, while the largest was 792.8 ha. There are 595 items of less than 15 ha, totalling 2,645 ha, while there are only 149 peatlands exceeding 15 ha, but they covered an area of 8,117 ha.</p> <p>Data used in the scientific publication: <em>Natural and anthropogenic factors influencing changes in peatland management in Poland,</em> Szumińska D., Czapiewski S., Sewerniak, P. 2023, Regional Environmental Change, Vol. 23, iss. 1, art. no 5, doi: 10.1007/s10113-022-02001-2</p>

Western US MTBS-Interagency (WUMI) wildfire dataset
<p>Annual forest area burned (AFAB) in the western United States (US) has increased as a positive exponential function of rising aridity in recent decades. This non-linear response has important implications for AFAB in a changing climate, yet the cause of the exponential AFAB-aridity relationship has not been given rigorous attention. We investigated the exponential AFAB-aridity relationship in western US forests using a new 1984-2019 database of fire events and 2001-2020 satellite-based records of daily fire growth. While forest-fire frequency and duration grow linearly with aridity, the exponential AFAB-aridity relationship results from the exponential growth rates of individual fires. Larger fires generally have more potential for growth due to more extensive firelines. Thus, forces that promote fire growth, such as aridification, have more potent effects on larger fires. As aridity increases linearly, the potential for growth of large fires accelerates, leading to exponential increases in AFAB.</p>
The influence of history, geography and environment on patterns of diversification in the western terrestrial garter snake
<p><b>Aim:</b> A central aim of biogeography is to understand how biodiversity is generated and maintained across landscapes. Here, we establish phylogenetic and population genetic patterns in a widespread reptile to quantify the influence of historical biogeography and current environmental variation on patterns of genetic diversity.</p> <p><b>Location: </b>Western North America.</p> <p><b>Taxon: </b>Western terrestrial garter snake, <i>Thamnophis elegans</i>.</p> <p><b>Methods: </b>We used double-digest RADseq to estimate phylogenetic relationships and characterize population genetic structure across the three widespread subspecies of <em>T. elegans</em>: <em>T. e. vagrans</em> (wandering garter snake), <em>T. e. elegans </em>(mountain garter snake) and <em>T. e. terrestris</em> (coast garter snake). We assessed patterns of dispersal and vicariance across biogeographic regions using ancestral area reconstruction (AAR) and deviations from isolation-by-distance across the landscape using estimated effective migration surfaces (EEMS). We identified environmental variables potentially shaping local adaptation in regional lineages using genetic-environment association (GEA) analyses.</p> <p><b>Results:</b> We recovered three well-differentiated genetic groups that correspond to the three subspecies. AAR analyses inferred the eastern Cascade Range as the ancestral area, with dispersal to both the east and west across western North America. Populations of <em>T. e. elegans</em> displayed a latitudinal gradient in genetic variation across the Sierra Nevada and northern California, while populations of <em>T. e. terrestris</em> show discrete genetic breaks consistent with well-known biogeographic barriers. Lastly, GEA analyses identified allele frequency shifts at loci associated with a common set of environmental variables in both <em>T. e. elegans</em> and <em>T. e. terrestris</em>.</p> <p><b>Main Conclusion: </b><em>T. elegans </em>is composed of distinct evolutionary lineages, each with its own geographic range and history of diversification. <em>T. e. elegans</em> and <em>T. e. terrestris</em> show unique patterns of diversification as populations dispersed from east to west and while adapting to the new environments they colonized. Historical events, landscape features and environmental variation have all contributed to patterns of differentiation in <em>T. elegans</em>.</p> <p> </p>

Data related to the Last Interglacial Laurentide Outburst event in the western North Atlantic
<p>Related paper: </p> <div> <div> <div> <div>Zhou, Y., McManus, J., 2022. Extensive evidence for a last interglacial Laurentide outburst (LILO) event. Geology 50, 934. <a href="https://doi.org/10.1130/G49956.1">https://doi.org/10.1130/G49956.1</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <p>Abstract: A glacial lake outburst flood or accelerated ice sheet melting some 8,200 years ago (8.2 ka) caused the largest abrupt climate change event during the Holocene. It has been proposed that this 8.2-ka event has an analog during the Last Interglacial. Here, we characterize in detail the provenance, timing, and delivery mechanism of a layer of red sediments deposited across much of the Northwest Atlantic at 125-ka. Our observations provide strong support for the occurrence of a Last Interglacial Laurentide Outburst (LILO) event that was analogous to the 8.2-ka event in all three aspects, and likely surpassed it in magnitude. The freshwater discharge associated with the 125-ka LILO event may explain a series of abrupt global changes, including a reduction of the North Atlantic Deep Water and reinvigoration of the Antarctic Bottom Water. Our findings suggest that the mechanism that triggered the LILO event may be an integral part of the deglacial sequence of events, during which the final collapse of the contiguous Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) takes place 3.5 – 4 kyr after full interglacial temperature is reached in the middle and high northern latitudes.</p>
