Practices of Viewing I: F.FWD (video essay)
<p>A research video essay, for study purposes only.</p> <p>Fast forwarding – nothing is as despised and as omnipresent among those in love with cinema. But what if we consider the speeding up of film as a reflexive practice that connects contemporary media consumption with the experimental beginnings of cinema before standardization. Instead of making our viewing quicker the acceleration of moving images can make them more complex, revealing what was always at their center but invisible to human perception.</p> <p> </p>

Data from: Telemetry tails: A practical method for attaching animal-borne devices to small vertebrates in the field
<p><b><i>Context.</i></b> Continued miniaturisation of tracking technology increases its utility in animal applications. However, species morphology often dictates the type of animal-borne device (ABD) that can be used, and how it is attached. The morphology of species within Peramelemorphia preclude them from the standard collar attachment of ABDs for terrestrial mammals.</p> <p><b><i>Aims.</i></b> This paper describes a method for the tail-mount attachment of ABDs, and deployment results for Peramelemorphia across arid, semi-arid, and temperate Australia to <b>(a)</b> test the performance of attachments and ABDs in the field, and, <b>(b) </b>discuss the animal welfare considerations for this attachment method. </p> <p><b><i>Methods.</i></b> Tail-mount attachment of ABDs were field-tested on a total of 80 greater bilbies (<i>Macrotis lagotis</i>), and 14 long-nosed bandicoots (<i>Perameles nasuta</i>). </p> <p><b><i>Key results.</i></b> Time to natural detachment (TTND) was between 2 and 52 days with 65.74% (142 of 216) remaining on until manual removal. For ABDs that were manually removed, attachments were retained for up to 94 days. The method used for tail-mount attachment of ABDs to long-nosed bandicoots resulted in significantly shorter TTND compared to the method used for bilbies, and environmental factors (high temperatures and rainfall) had a negative effect on TTND. Tail-mount attached global positioning system (GPS) sensors collected large quantities of accurate data with a maximum fix success rate of 83.38%. Damage to GPS (antenna breakage and water ingress) during deployment, however, impacted performance. In environments with frequent rainfall and waterlogged soils, the tape on a small proportion (6.25%) of (n = 192) attachments to bilbies caused tail injury. All injuries were resolvable with most requiring minimal to no veterinary intervention. </p> <p><b><i>Key conclusions. </i></b>Attachment longevity can be affected by how the ABD is mounted to the tail, the species, and the deployment environment. The environment can also affect which adhesive tapes are suitable for ABD attachment. However, this method is highly modifiable, practical for field application, and can have long retention times relative to other temporary methods.</p> <p><b><i>Implications. </i></b>This ABD tail-mount attachment method adds another tool to the telemetry tool-kit, with all the benefits of a low-tech, low-cost, passive drop-off type attachment. This method has demonstrated practicality for Peramelemorphia, with potential application to other suitable small vertebrates.</p>

Novel husbandry practices result in rapid rates of growth and sexual maturation without impacting adult behavior in the blind Mexican cavefish
<p>The development of animal model systems is dependent on the standardization of husbandry protocols that increase fecundity and reduce generation time. The blind Mexican tetra, <em>Astyanax mexicanus</em>, is an emerging genetic vertebrate model for evolution and biomedical research. Surface and cave populations of <em>A. mexicanus</em> have independently evolved, providing a model system for studying the genetic basis of divergent biological traits. While a rapid increase in the use of <em>A. mexicanus</em> has led to the generation of genetic tools including gene-editing and transgenesis, a slow and inconsistent growth rate remains a major limitation to the expanded application of <em>A. mexicanus</em>. The optimization of husbandry protocols that maximize high-nutrient feed, smaller tank densities, and larger tank sizes across development, would facilitate faster growth and expand the use of this model. Here, we describe standardized husbandry practices that optimize growth through a high-protein diet, increased feeding, growth sorting of larvae and juveniles, and tank size transitions based on standard length. These changes to husbandry had a significant effect on growth rates and decreased the age of sexual maturity in comparison to our previous protocols. To determine whether our nutritional change and increased feeding impacted behavior, we tested fish in exploration and schooling assays. We found that a change in diet had no effect on the behaviors we tested, suggesting that increased feeding and rapid growth will not impact the natural variation in behavioral traits. Taken together, this standardized husbandry protocol will accelerate the development of <em>A. mexicanus</em> as a genetic model.</p>

From CREATE workshop to course implementation: Examining downstream impacts on teaching practices and student learning at 4-year institutions
<p>We provide the full data set for the research study informing the efficacy of the CREATE strategy for positively influencing faculty and students in science courses at ten institutions (4-year). CREATE (consider, read, elucidate hypotheses, analyze, and intrepret data; think of the next experiment) represents a scaffolded approach for teaching students using the primary literature as the foundation of course instruction. In this project, faculty from different institutions were trained in this pedagogy through a week-long workshop and then followed as they adapted CREATE for a science course at their home institutions. We used a variety of assessments (cognitive, affective) to determine the effects of implementation on student cohorts at each institution. These assessments included the <strong>Experimental Design and Ability Test</strong> (EDAT), the <strong>Critical Thinking Test</strong> (CTT, an adaption of the Field-Tested Learning Assessment Guide), a <strong>concept-map</strong> test, and an adaption of the <strong>Survey of Student Attitudes, Abilities, and Beliefs</strong> (SAAB) survey. </p>
Harmonized analysis of microplastics: Insights from practical application within the FACTS project
<p>The pollution of the environment with plastics is of emerging concern. While first initiatives aim to reduce the input of these materials, the already existing amounts pose a problem. Due to degradation and fragmentation the initially large items form micro- and nanoplastic particles. Yet the analysis of these contaminates is hampered due to increasing number of analytical pipelines and tools in the different laboratories. In the recent years, various projects aimed to provide information about these issues at different scales. Here, we present the harmonization procedures derived and applied within the "Fluxes and Fate of Microplastics in Northern European Waters" (FACTS) project. To achieve a project internal harmonization the available sampling techniques, sample extraction methods, quality assurance measures aand protocols as well as analytical techniques were collected, evaluated and finally transferred into commonly agreed harmonized procedures. These procedures were afterwards applied in the planning of a large scale sampling campaign along the Norwegian Coast and within the Bergen Fjord. This was achieved by defining the filter mesh sizes for filtration pumps and sampling nets as well as the amount of sediment sampled. In contrast to sampling, the extraction was more difficult to harmonize yet a common agreement was derived by using Fenton's reagent oxidation for the removal of organic matter and sodium bromide for density separation following the laboratory internal protocol. Finally, the for analysis FTIR microscopy shall be applied using a common database and software tool (siMPle) allowing a following pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (py-GC/MS) analysis. The experience during the application of these protocols within FACTS will be discussed and further contextualized with the results of the "EUROpean Quality Controlled Harmonisation Assuring Reproducible Monitoring and assessment of plastic pollution" (EUROqCHARM) project.

Brief structured respiration practices enhance mood and reduce physiological arousal
<p><span>Controlled Breathwork practices have emerged as potential tools for stress management and well-being. Here we report a remote, randomized, controlled study (NCT05304000) of three different daily five-minute Breathwork exercises in comparison to an equivalent period of Mindfulness Meditation, over one month. The breathing conditions are 1) Cyclic Sighing, which emphasizes prolonged exhalations, 2) Box Breathing, which is equal duration of inhalations, breath retentions and exhalations, and 3) Cyclic Hyperventilation with Retention, with longer inhalations and shorter exhalations. The primary endpoints are improvement in mood and anxiety as well as reduced physiological arousal (respiratory rate, heart rate, and heart rate variability). Using a mixed-effects model, we show that Breathwork, especially the exhale-focused Cyclic Sighing produces greater improvement in mood (p < 0.05) and reduction in respiratory rate (p < 0.05) compared to Mindfulness Meditation. Daily 5-minute Cyclic Sighing has promise as an effective stress management exercise. </span></p>
