Data from: Chromosome-level genome of the melon thrips yields insights into evolution of a sap-sucking lifestyle and pesticide resistance
<p>Thrips are tiny insects from the order Thysanoptera (Hexapoda: Condylognatha), including many sap-sucking pests that are causing increasing damage to crops worldwide. In contrast to their closest relatives of Hemiptera (Hexapoda: Condylognatha) including numerous sap-sucking species, there are few genomic resources available for thrips. In this study, we assembled the first thrips genome at the chromosome level from the melon thrips, <i>Thrips palmi</i>, a notorious pest in agriculture, using PacBio long-read and Illumina short-read sequences. The assembled genome was 270.43 Mb in size with 4,120 contigs and a contig N50 of 426 kb. All contigs were assembled into 16 linkage groups assisted by the Hi-C technique. In total, 16,333 protein-coding genes were predicted, of which 88.13% were functionally annotated. Among sap-sucking insects, polyphagous species usually possess more detoxification genes than oligophagous species. The polyphagous thrips genomes characterized so far have relatively more detoxification genes in the GST and CCE families than polyphagous aphids, but they have fewer UGTs. HSP genes, especially from the Hsp70s group, have expanded in thrips compared to other hemipteran insects. These differences point to different genetic mechanisms associated with detoxification and stress responses in these two groups of sap-sucking insects. The expansion of these gene families may contribute to the rapid development of pesticide resistance in thrips, as supported by a transcriptome comparison of resistant and sensitive populations of <i>T. palmi</i>. The high-quality genome developed here provides an invaluable resource for understanding the ecology, genetics and evolution of thrips as well as their relatives more generally.</p>
Healthy lifestyle and the risk of Alzheimer's dementia: Findings from two longitudinal studies
<p><strong>Objective</strong><br> To quantify the impact of a healthy lifestyle on the risk of Alzheimer's dementia.</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong><br> Using data from the Chicago Health and Aging Project (CHAP n=1,845) and the Rush Memory and Aging Project (MAP n=920), we defined a healthy lifestyle score on the basis of non-smoking, >=150 min/week moderate/vigorous intensity physical activity, light-to-moderate alcohol consumption, high-quality MIND diet (upper 40%), and engagement in late-life cognitive activities (upper 40%), giving an overall score ranging from 0 to 5. Cox proportional hazard models were used for each cohort to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) of the lifestyle score with Alzheimer's dementia and a random effect meta-analysis was used to pool the results.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong><br> During a median follow-up of 5.8 years in CHAP and 6.0 years in MAP, 379 and 229 participants, respectively had incident Alzheimer's dementia. In multivariable-adjusted models, the pooled HR (95%CI) of Alzheimer's dementia across two cohorts was 0.73 (95%CI, 0.66-0.80) per each additional healthy lifestyle factor. Compared to participants with 0-1 healthy lifestyle factor, the risk of Alzheimer's dementia was 37% lower (pooled HR 0.63; 95%CI, 0.47-0.84) in those with 2-3 healthy lifestyle factors, and 60% lower (pooled HR 0.40; 95%CI, 0.28-0.56) in those with 4-5 healthy lifestyle factors. </p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong><br> A healthy lifestyle as a composite score is associated with a substantially lower risk of Alzheimer's dementia.</p>

The effects of Covid-19 lockdown on health, lifestyle, and wellbeing of children with Type 1 diabetes and their parents in Kuwait
<p>This is a full data set to accompany our study, presently in submission.</p> <p>Abstract</p> <p><strong><em>Objective.</em></strong> The restrictions brought about by Covid-19 pandemic have substantially affected people’s health and rapidly changed their daily routines. This is a prospective study that investigated the impact of the pandemic on primary school children with Type 1 diabetes and their parents during the first lockdown in Kuwait.</p> <p><strong><em>Methods.</em></strong> A questionnaire battery related to mental health, well-being, and lifestyle was administered at baseline in Summer 2019 (face-to-face, at a diabetes outpatient clinic) and at follow-up during lockdown in Summer 2020 (via telephone, in adherence with Covid-19 restrictions). Data were collected for 70 dyads with children aged 9-12 years.</p> <p><strong><em>Results.</em></strong> Significant differences were found in most scores for both children and parents. Their mental health worsened to a higher level of depression, anxiety, stress, and a poor level of wellbeing. The average scores on the follow-up tests fell within a clinical range on these measures. Significant differences in their lifestyle, compared to before the lockdown, included decreased levels of physical activity and lower healthy core nutritional intake.</p> <p><strong><em>Conclusions.</em></strong> Our findings indicate that the Covid-19 lockdown has had a significant psychological and possibly physiological impact on children with Type 1 diabetes and their parents. We conclude that there is a need for mental health support services focusing on these groups. Although full lockdown restrictions will have stopped in the past year, post-pandemic stressors may be expected to continue to adversely affect this cohort. </p> <p> </p>

Phylogenetic data for: Synchrospora gen. nov., a new Peronosporaceae genus with aerial lifestyle from a natural cloud forest in Panama
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>During a survey of <em>Phytophthora</em> diversity in Panama, fast-growing oomycete isolates were obtained from naturally fallen leaves of an unidentified tree species in a tropical cloud forest. Phylogenetic analyses of sequences from the nuclear ITS, LSU and ß–tubulin loci and the mitochondrial <em>cox1</em> and <em>cox2</em> genes revealed they belong to a new species of a new genus, officially described here as <em>Synchrospora</em> gen. nov., which resided as a basal genus within the Peronosporaceae. The type species <em>S. medusiformis</em> has unique morphological characters. The sporangiophores show determinate growth, multifurcating at the end forming a stunted, candelabra-like apex from which multiple (8 to >100) long, curved pedicels are growing simultaneously in a medusa-like way. The caducous papillate sporangia mature and are shed synchronously. The breeding system is homothallic, hence more inbreeding than outcrossing, with smooth-walled oogonia, plerotic oospores and paragynous antheridia. Optimum and maximum temperatures for growth are 22.5 and 25–27.5 °C, consistent with its natural cloud forest habitat. It is concluded that <em>S. medusiformis</em> is adapted to a lifestyle as canopy-dwelling leaf pathogen in tropical cloud forests. More oomycete surveys in the canopies of tropical rainforests and cloud forests are needed to elucidate the diversity and role of oomycetes and, in particular, <em>S. medusiformis</em> and possibly other <em>Synchrospora</em> taxa in this as yet under-explored habitat.</span></p>
Itinerant lifestyle and congregation of lesser kestrels in West Africa
<p>Trans-Saharan migrants often spend a large proportion of their annual cycle wintering in the Sahel. Advances in fieldwork and tracking technology have greatly enhanced our ability to study their ecology in these areas. Using GPS-tracking we aimed to investigate the little-known non-breeding movements of the lesser kestrel <em>Falco</em> <em>naumanni</em> in sub-Saharan Africa. We segment non-breeding tracks (n = 79 tracks by 54 individuals) into staging events (131± 25 days per non-breeding cycle), itinerant movements between staging sites (11 ± 10 days), and non-directed exploratory movements (6 ± 5 days). We then describe timing and directionality of itinerant movements by male and female kestrels throughout the non-breeding season. Regardless of sex, lesser kestrels spent on average 89% of the non-breeding season staging at 2 (range = 1–4) sites in West Africa. At the end of September, kestrels arrived along a broad front throughout the northern Sahel. By December, however, they congregated into two distinct clusters in Senegal and along the Malian-Mauritanian border. The birds stayed for longer periods and showed greater daily activity in the latter areas, compared to their first and intermediate ones. Among 24 individuals tracked along multiple annual cycles, 20 individuals consistently used the Senegalese or Malian-Mauritanian cluster. The remaining four birds used these clusters only after 2-3 years of tracking or switched between clusters across years. The eastward and westward itinerant movements of lesser kestrels during the non-breeding season, coupled with their tendency to cluster geographically towards the end, differ from the southward movements of other insectivorous raptors in West Africa. While 31% of Spanish lesser kestrels converged in Senegal, where roosts of > 20,000 birds are known, 68% moved into the Malian-Mauritanian border region where more groundwork is needed.</p>
