BEHAV3D: A 3D live imaging platform for comprehensive analysis of engineered T cell behavior and tumor response
<p>The use of patient-derived material and immune cell co-cultures in modeling immune-oncology has gained significant interest for understanding and manipulating immune cell tumor targeting in a patient-specific context. However, current protocols have limitations in visualizing and analyzing the dynamic cellular features of these living culture systems. We recently developped a workflow names BEHAV3D, that combines multi-color live 3D imaging and computational tools to analyze cell death dynamics, classify T cell behavior, and generate data-informed 3D images and videos. Here we provide some example pre-processed dataset of videos of two co-culture set ups: breast cancer Patient Derived Organoids with αβ T cells engineered to express a γδ TCR (TEGs) and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia cells with CD19 CART cells.</p>
A Repeated Measures Dataset on Public Responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic: Social Norms, Attitudes, Behaviors, Conspiracy Thinking, and (Mis)Information
<p>We present a quantitative repeated measures dataset from intensive longitudinal research (diary survey) conducted with participants drawn from a nationally representative sample of the German population. This diary survey addresses a wide range of variables relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic, including information seeking, attitudes towards science, public health, and related behaviors. Respondents were asked about their thoughts, challenges, concerns, and experiences related to the pandemic. Survey responses were requested every two weeks from November 2020 and September 2021 for a total of 18 stages of data collection. The diary survey responses were all matched to the same individual. Using the unique identifier for each individual, the diary survey dataset can be analyzed in concert with a larger representative survey sample that was conducted three times within the same research project over this time period. The diary dataset we present here includes socio-demographic information and other potentially relevant variables, ready for secondary analysis.<br> <br> Initial sample frame: <em>N </em>= 1,480</p> <p>Initial diary survey sub-sample: <em>N </em>= 133</p>

Site fidelity and behavioral plasticity regulate an ungulate's response to extreme disturbance
<p>1. With rapid global change, the frequency and severity of extreme disturbance events are increasing worldwide. The ability of animal populations to survive these stochastic events depends on how individual animals respond to their altered environments, yet our understanding of the immediate and short-term responses of animals to acute disturbances remains poor.</p> <p>2. We focused on animal responses to the environmental disturbance created by megafire. Specifically, we explored the effects of the 2018 Mendocino Complex Fire in northern California, USA on the behaviour and body condition of black-tailed deer (<i>Odocoileus hemionus columbianus</i>). We predicted that deer would be displaced by the disturbance or experience high mortality post-fire if they stayed in the burn area.</p> <p>3. We used data from GPS collars on 18 individual deer to quantify patterns of home range use, movement, and habitat selection before and after the fire. We assessed changes in body condition using images from a camera trap grid. The fire burned through half of the study area, facilitating a comparison between deer in burned and unburned areas.</p> <p>4. Despite a dramatic reduction in vegetation in burned areas, deer showed high site fidelity to pre-fire home ranges, returning within hours of the fire. However, mean home range size doubled after the fire and corresponded with increased daily activity in a severely resource-depleted environment. Within their home ranges, deer also selected strongly for patches of surviving vegetation and woodland habitat, as these areas provided forage and cover in an otherwise desolate landscape. Deer body condition significantly decreased after the fire, likely as a result of a reduction in forage within their home ranges, but all collared deer survived for the duration of the study.</p> <p>5. Understanding the ways in which large mammals respond to disturbance like wildfire is increasingly important as the extent and severity of such events increases across the world. While many animals are adapted to disturbance regimes, species that exhibit high site fidelity or otherwise fixed behavioural strategies may struggle to cope with increased climate instability and associated extreme disturbance events.</p>
Beyond sex and aggression: Testosterone rapidly matches behavioral responses to social context and tries to predict the future
<p>Although androgens are widely studied in the context of aggression, androgenic influences on prosocial behaviors have been less explored. We examined testosterone's (T) influence on prosocial and aggressive responses in a positively-valenced social context (interacting with a pairbond partner) and a negatively-valenced context (interacting with an intruder) in socially monogamous Mongolian gerbils. T increased and decreased prosocial responses in the same individuals towards a pairbond partner and an intruder, respectively, both within 30 minutes, but did not affect aggression. T also had persistent effects on prosocial behavior; males in which T initially increased prosocial responses towards a partner continued to exhibit elevated prosocial responses towards an intruder male days later until a second T injection rapidly eliminated those responses. Thus, T surges can rapidly match behavior to current social context, as well as prime animals for positive social interactions in the future. Neuroanatomically, T rapidly increased hypothalamic oxytocin, but not vasopressin, cellular responses during interactions with a partner. Together, our results indicate that T can facilitate and inhibit prosocial behaviors depending on social context, that it can influence prosocial responses across rapid and prolonged time scales, and that it affects oxytocin signaling mechanisms that could mediate its context-dependent behavioral influences.</p>
Gait behavioral and neuromuscular characterization in response to increasing working memory load while walking under optic flow perturbations in young adults
<p>The precise role of cognitive control on optic flow processing during locomotion has rarely been investigated. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether coping with unreliable visual inputs during walking requires attentional resources. Twenty-four healthy young adults walked on an instrumented treadmill in a virtual environment under two optic flow conditions: normal (NOF) and perturbed (POF, continuous mediolateral pseudo-random oscillations). Each condition was performed under single-task and dual-task conditions of increasing difficulty (1-, 2-, 3-back). In all conditions, subjective mental workload was estimated (raw NASA-TLX). For kinematic variables, mean, standard deviation, statistical persistence and step-to-step error correction were computed from gait time series in mediolateral and anteroposterior directions. For EMG variables of soleus and gluteus medius, the full width at half maximum and the variance ratio were calculated. Performance on N-back tasks was assessed using mean reaction time and d-prime. Cognitive performance was not affected by simultaneous walking in any optic flow condition. Gait variability was altered under POF compared to NOF, so that young adults sought to counteract those perturbations by adopting an effortful gait control strategy, independently of concurrent working memory (WM) load. Increasing WM load led changes first at the neuromuscular level, then at the behavioral level, with a prioritization of gait control in the mediolateral direction. Interestingly, dual-tasking lowered the effects of POF but in the anteroposterior direction only. These findings and their theoretical implications provide valuable insight into the complex interaction effects of cognitive and visual constraints on gait control during treadmill walking.</p>

Cortical mechanisms of smooth eye movements revealed by dynamic covariations of neural and behavioral responses
<p>Neural activity in the frontal eye fields controls smooth pursuit eye movements, but the relationship between single neuron responses, cortical population responses, and eye movements is not well understood. We describe an approach to dynamically link trial-to-trial fluctuations in neural responses to parallel variations in pursuit and demonstrate that individual neurons predict eye velocity fluctuations at particular moments during the course of behavior, while the population of neurons collectively tiles the entire duration of the movement. The analysis also reveals the strength of correlations in the eye movement predictions derived from pairs of simultaneously recorded neurons and suggests a simple model of cortical processing. These findings constrain the primate cortical code for movement, suggesting that either a few neurons are sufficient to drive pursuit at any given time or that many neurons operate collectively at each moment with remarkably little variation added to motor command signals downstream from the cortex.</p>
Enhanced isohydric behavior decoupled the whole-tree sap flux response to leaf transpiration under nitrogen addition in a subtropical forest
<p><span>Anthropogenic nitrogen deposition has the potential to change the leaf water-use strategy in the subtropical region of China. Nevertheless, the whole-tree level response crucial for ecosystem functions has not been well addressed over the past decades. In this study, the stem sap flux density (J<sub>S</sub>) was monitored for the whole-tree water transport capacity in two dominant species (<em>Schima</em> <em>superba</em> and <em>Castanopsis</em> <em>chinensis</em>) in a subtropical forest. To simulate the increased nitrogen deposition, the NH<sub>4</sub>NO<sub>3</sub> solutions were sprayed onto the forest canopy at 25 kg </span><span>ha<sup>-1</sup> year<sup>-1</sup></span><span> (CAN25) and 50 kg ha<sup>-1</sup> year<sup>-1</sup> (CAN50), respectively, since April 2013. The </span><span>J<sub>S</sub></span><span> and microclimate (monitored since January 2014) derived from the whole-tree level </span><span>stomatal conductance </span><span>(G<sub>S</sub>) were used to quantify the stomatal behavior </span><span>(G<sub>S</sub> sensitive to</span><span> vapor pressure deficit</span><span>, G<sub>S-VPD</sub>)</span><span> in response to the added nitrogen. </span><span>The maximum shoot hydraulic conductance (Kshoot-max) was also measured for both species. After one year of monitoring</span><span> in January 2015, the </span><span>mid-day (J<sub>S-mid</sub>) and daily mean (J<sub>S-mean</sub>) sap flux rates did not change under all the nitrogen addition treatments (p > 0.05). A consistent</span><span> decline in the </span><span>G<sub>S-VPD</sub></span><span> indicated an enhanced isohydric behavior for both species. In addition, the G<sub>S-VPD</sub></span><span> in the wet season was much lower than that in the dry season. </span><span><em>S</em>. <em>superba</em> </span><span>had a lower </span><span>G<sub>S-VPD</sub></span><span> and decreased J<sub>S-mid</sub>/J<sub>S-mean</sub>, implying a stronger stomatal control under the fertilization, which might be attributed to the low efficient diffuse-porous conduits and a higher JS. In addition, the G<sub>S</sub> for </span><span><em>S</em>. <em>superba</em></span><span> decreased and the </span><span>G<sub>S-VPD</sub></span><span> increased more under CAN50 than that under CAN25, indicating that the high nitrogen dose restrains the extra nitrogen benefits. Our results indicate</span><span>d</span><span> that the J<sub>S</sub> for both species was decoupled from the leaf transpiration for both species due to an enhanced isohydric behavior, and a xylem anatomy difference and fertilization dose would affect the extent of this decoupling relation.</span></p>
Data for: Beyond simple habituation: Anthropogenic habitats influence the escape behavior of spur-winged lapwings in response to both human and non-human threats
<p>Habitat development may affect wildlife behavior, favoring individuals or behaviors that cope better with perceived threats (predators). Bolder behaviors in human-dominated habitats (HDH; e.g., urban and rural settlements) may represent habituation specifically to humans, or a general reduction in predator-avoidance response. However, such carry-over effects across threat types (i.e., beyond humans) and phases of the escape sequence have not been well studied to date. Here we investigated escape behaviors of a locally common wader species, the spur-winged lapwing (Vanellus spinosus). We assayed their flight initiation distance (FID) and subsequent escape behaviors in agricultural areas and in HDH. We found that lapwings in HDH were bolder, and that the difference was manifested in several phases of the predator-avoidance sequence (shorter FIDs, shorter distances fled, and a higher probability of escape by running vs. flying). When re-approached (by an observer) after landing, lapwings in HDH were also more repetitive in their FID than those in other habitats. To determine whether this apparent bolder behavior in HDH areas is merely a consequence of habituation to humans or represents a broader behavioral change, we introduced an additional threat type – a remotely-operated taxidermic jackal ("Jack-Truck"). Finding bolder responses in the HDH to the human threat alone (and not to the Jack-Truck) could have supported the habituation hypothesis. In contrast, however, we found a bolder response in the HDH to both threat types, as well as a correlation between their FIDs across different sites. These bolder behaviors suggest that HDH impose a broader behavioral change on lapwings, rather than just simple habituation. Overall, our findings demonstrate how FID trials can reveal strong behavioral carry-over effects of HDH following human and non-human threats, including effects on the subsequent phases of escaping the predator. Further, FID assays may reveal consistent behavioral types when assessed under field conditions, and offer a direct way to differentiate among the various poorly understood and non-mutually exclusive mechanisms that lead to behavioral differences among organisms in HDH. The mechanistic perspective is essential for understanding how rapid urbanization impacts wildlife behavior, populations, and the range of behaviors within them, even in species apparently resilient to such environmental changes.</p>
Behavioral responses of a large, heat-sensitive mammal to climatic variation at multiple spatial scales
<p>1. Climate warming creates energetic challenges for endothermic species by increasing metabolic and hydric costs of thermoregulation. Although endotherms can invoke an array of behavioral and physiological strategies for maintaining homeostasis, the relative effectiveness of those strategies in a climate that is becoming both warmer and drier is not well understood.</p> <p>2. In accordance with the heat dissipation limit theory, which suggests that allocation of energy to growth and reproduction by endotherms is constrained by the ability to dissipate heat, we expected that patterns of habitat use by large, heat-sensitive mammals across multiple scales are critical for behavioral thermoregulation during periods of potential heat stress and that they must invest a large portion of time to maintain heat balance.</p> <p>3. To test our predictions, we evaluated mechanisms underpinning the effectiveness of bed sites for ameliorating daytime heat loads and potential heat stress across the landscape while accounting for other factors known to affect behavior. We integrated detailed data on microclimate and animal attributes of moose <em>Alces</em> <em>alces</em>, into a biophysical model to quantify costs of thermoregulation at fine and coarse spatial scales.</p> <p>4. During summer, moose spent an average of 67.8% of daylight hours bedded, and selected bed sites and home ranges that reduced risk of experiencing heat stress. For most of the day, shade could effectively mitigate the risk of experiencing heat stress up to 10°C, but at warmer temperatures (up to 20℃) wet soil was necessary to maintain homeostasis via conductive heat loss. Consistent selection across spatial scales for locations that reduced heat load underscores the importance of the thermal environment as a driver of behavior in this heat-sensitive mammal.</p> <p>5. Moose in North America have long been characterized as riparian-obligate species because of their dependence on woody plant species for food. Nevertheless, the importance of dissipating endogenous heat loads conductively through wet soil suggests riparian habitats also are critical thermal refuges for moose. Such refuges may be especially important in the face of a warming climate in which both high environmental temperatures and drier conditions will likely exacerbate limits to heat dissipation, especially for large, heat-sensitive animals.</p>
Data for: Mercury contamination challenges the behavioral response of a keystone species to Arctic climate change
<p>Combined effects of multiple, climate change-associated stressors are of mounting concern, especially in Arctic ecosystems. Elevated mercury (Hg) exposure in Arctic animals could affect behavioural responses to changes in foraging landscapes linked to climate change, generating interactive effects on behaviour and population resilience. W<span>e investigated this hypothesis in the little auk (<em>Alle alle</em>), a keystone Arctic seabird. We compiled behavioural data using accelerometers, and quantified blood mercury and environmental conditions (sea surface temperature (SST), sea ice coverage (SIC)) across multiple years. Warm SST and low SIC reshaped time activity budgets (TABs) and diving patterns, causing decreased resting, increased flight, and longer dives. Mercury contamination was not associated with TABs. However, highly contaminated birds lengthened inter-dive breaks when making long dives, suggesting mercury-induced physiological limitations. A</span>s dive durations increased with warm SST<span>, </span>subtle toxicological effects threaten to increasingly constrain diving and foraging efficiency as climate change progresses, with ecosystem-wide repercussions.</p>
Behavioral data for: A learning experience elicits sex-dependent neurogenomic responses in Bicyclus anynana butterflies
<p>This is the behavioral data file that corresponds to the behavioral data reported in "A learning experience elicits sex-dependent neurogenomic responses in <em>Bicyclus anyana</em> butterflies" by D.A. Ernst, G.A. Agcaoili, A.N. Merrill, & E. L. Westerman, published in Molecular Ecology. It contains one spreadsheet, with all the behavioral data corresponding to the training, trainer, and naive butterflies utilized in the comparative brain and eye transcriptomics analyses conducted in the manuscript. In our study, we show that male and female <em>B. anynana</em> butterflies exhibit sexually dimorphic gene expression in the brain and eye during a learning event. We further identify genes that were associated with learning independent of sex and show that a number of genes known to influence wing pattern are also differentially expressed in the brain and eye during a mate choice learning event. The sexually dimorphic expression was not the result of baseline differences in activity levels, as males and females exhibited similar amounts of behavior during the training and naive experiences.</p>

Behavioral responses to a series of similar but distinct novel objects in house sparrows
<p>Generalization refers to the process by which animals assign different stimuli into cognitive categories based on their similarity/dissimilarity to previously experienced stimuli. Stimuli which strongly deviate from previous experience may be avoided due to their novelty (i.e., neophobia), while stimuli which are sufficiently similar to a known/recognized cue may elicit the same response as that cue (i.e., generalization). While generalization has been widely researched, few studies have examined among-individual variance in its expression. Our study quantified among-individual variation in neophobia and generalization in house sparrows (<em>Passer domesticus</em>) by placing a series of different objects next to each subject's food source on successive days and measuring the subject's latency to approach the food source in the presence vs. absence of each object. Similarly to previous work, we found that house sparrows are neophobic on average and exhibit significant among-individual variance in neophobia. More interestingly, we found that the neophobic response declined across presentations of different novel objects. This implies that the sparrows generalized some aspect(s) of the objects. We also found significant among-individual variance in the rate at which approach latency changed across this series, possibly reflecting individual differences in propensity to generalize. These results raise new questions about how neophobia, habituation, and generalization are linked and about the potential for selection to act on these traits under different ecological conditions.</p>
Titi monkey father-daughter bond-related behaviors explain stress response variability
<p>[Dataset] Social interactions regulate our behavior and physiology, and strong social bonds can buffer us from stress. Coppery titi monkeys (<em>Plecturocebus cupreus</em>) are socially monogamous South American monkeys that display strong social bonds. Infants form selective bonds with their fathers, making them ideal for studying father-daughter bonds. We established a novel method for quantifying variability in expression of bond-related behaviors in females (n =12). We also investigated how manipulations of oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (AVP) influenced juvenile behavior and physiology. Subjects received acute intranasal treatments of saline, low/medium/high OT, low/high AVP, or OT antagonist (OTA) prior to an acute social separation. General linear mixed-effects model results revealed fathers were significant behavioral and physiological stress buffers for their daughters, as evidenced by fewer distress vocalizations (p < .001), less locomotion (p < .001), and lower plasma cortisol (p < .001). Females vocalized less if they exhibited greater expression of bond-related behaviors with their fathers as infants (p = .01), and this stress buffering effect remained even when the daughter was separated from the father (p = .001). While treatments did not alter behaviors, OTA treatments caused the largest rise in plasma cortisol (p < .001), suggesting blockade of OT receptors can inhibit fathers’ stress-buffering effects. Remarkably, females with greater expression of father-daughter bond-related behaviors exhibited an overall reduced physiological separation distress response (p = .04). Findings from the present study advance current knowledge of the neurobiological mechanisms foundational to female bonds and help inform how social disruptions may differently impact individuals based on expression of bond-related behaviors.</p>
