Effects of severe anthropogenic disturbance on the heart rate and body temperature in free-living greylag geese (Anser anser)

Anthropogenic disturbances are a major concern for the welfare and conservation of wildlife. We recorded heart rate and body temperature of 20 free-living greylag geese in response to a major regularly re-occurring anthropogenic disturbance, New Year’s Eve fireworks. Heart rate and body temperature were significantly higher in the first and second hour of the new year, compared to the same hour on the 31st of December, the average during December and the average during January. Heart rate and body temperature was not significantly affected by sex or age. From 0200-0300 onwards, 1st of January heart rates did not significantly differ from the other periods, however body temperatures were significantly increased until 0300-0400. From 0400-0500, heart rate was not affected by any of the investigated factors, whereas body temperature was significantly increased on the 1st of January compared 31st of December and the December average but not compared to the January average. To conclude, our results show that New Year’s Eve fireworks cause a substantial physiological response, indicative of a stress response in greylag geese, which is costly in terms of energy expenditure.

Effects of developmental and adult environments on ageing

Developmental and adult environments can interact in complex ways to influence the fitness of individuals. Most studies investigating effects of the environment on fitness focus on environments experienced and traits expressed at a single point in an organism's life. However, environments vary with time, so the effects of the environments that organisms experience at different ages may interact to affect how traits change throughout life. Here we test whether thermal stress experienced during development leads individuals to cope better with thermal stress as adults. We manipulated temperature during both development and adulthood and measured a range of life-history traits, including senescence, in male and female seed beetles (Callosobruchus maculatus). We found that thermal stress during development reduced adult reproductive performance of females. In contrast, lifespan and age-dependent mortality were affected more by adult than developmental environments, with high adult temperatures decreasing longevity and increasing age-dependent mortality. Aside from an interaction between developmental and adult environments to affect age-dependent changes in male weight, we did not find any evidence of a beneficial acclimation response to developmental thermal stress. Overall, our results show that effects of developmental and adult environments can be both sex- and trait- specific, and that a full understanding of how environments interact to affect fitness and ageing requires the integrated study of conditions experienced during different stages of ontogeny.

Effect of sediment suspensions on seawater conductivity measurements

Data are in small files recorded in April 2015 and March 2016 during experiments made in Shom's metrology laboratory. A 2 liter cylindrical container, immersed in a calibration bath, was filed with seawaters of practical salinities 35 or 38, and stabilized in temperature at 10 °C to better than 1 mK. 10 °C was choosen to avoid seawater evaporation during measurements. Measurements were made with a calibrated CTD recorder SBE 37 placed in the cylindrical container and a reference temperature probe SBE 35 placed in the calibration bath. Sand or sediments were added progressively in the container and mixed with a stirring propeller. After each increase in sand concentration, a file was recorded. Measurements were made at concentrations: 0, 50, 100, 200, 300, 500, 700, 900, 1100, 2000, 3000 and 5000 mg/l. The sand comes from Plouneour-Trez beach in Brittany, France, 48° 39′ North, 4° 19′ West. The sediments come from muds taken in the Abers Benoit (Treglonou) and Le Faou bays (France) located respectively at 48° 33′ North, 4° 32′ West and 48° 17′ 36″ North, 4° 10′ 39″ West.

How to quantify factors degrading DNA in the environment and predict degradation for effective sampling design

Extra-organismal DNA (eoDNA) from material left behind by organisms (non-invasive DNA: e.g., faeces, hair) or from environmental samples (eDNA: e.g., water, soil) is a valuable source of genetic information. However, the relatively low quality and quantity of eoDNA, which can be further degraded by environmental factors, results in reduced amplification and sequencing success. This is often compensated for through cost- and time-intensive replications of genotyping/sequencing procedures. Therefore, system- and site-specific quantifications of environmental degradation are needed to maximize sampling efficiency (e.g., fewer replicates, shorter sampling durations), and to improve species detection and abundance estimates. Using ten environmentally diverse bat roosts as a case study, we developed a robust modelling pipeline to quantify the environmental factors degrading eoDNA, predict eoDNA quality, and estimate sampling-site-specific ideal exposure duration. Maximum humidity was the strongest eoDNA-degrading factor, followed by exposure duration and then maximum temperature. We also found a positive effect when hottest days occurred later. The strength of this effect fell between the strength of the effects of exposure duration and maximum temperature. With those predictors and information on sampling period (before or after offspring were born), we reliably predicted mean eoDNA quality per sampling visit at new sites with a mean squared error of 0.0349. Site-specific simulations revealed that reducing exposure duration to 2-8 days could substantially improve eoDNA quality for future sampling. Our pipeline identified high humidity and temperature as strong drivers of eoDNA degradation even in the absence of rain and direct sunlight. Furthermore, we outline the pipeline's utility for other systems and study goals, such as estimating sample age, improving eDNA-based species detection, and increasing the accuracy of abundance estimates.

Long-term relationships between water quality, fire and climate for Clear Lake, California. Although the watershed has historically experienced frequent fire, the 2018 Mendocino Complex, which was the largest wildfire complex in state history, burned approximately 40% of the watershed, sparking concerns about drinking water quality and lake ecosystem health. This analysis spans approximately 1968-2021.

Data from: Integrating effects of neighbor interactions for pollination

Animal-pollinated plants interact with neighbors for both abiotic resources and pollination, with consequences for reproduction and yield. Yet few studies have compared the relative magnitude of these effects, particularly in agroecosystems. In vertically stratified communities, such as agroforests, neighbor effects may be stratum-dependent. Understanding the net effects of neighbors on crop yield is important for managing multifunctional agroecosystems to simultaneously support production and biodiversity. This study evaluated the effects of neighboring plants on pollen deposition, fertilization, and yield in Coffea arabica in a shaded organic coffee farm with high non-crop plant abundance and diversity in Chiapas, Mexico. We assessed the impact of 1) floral resources at three vertical strata (herbs, coffee bushes, and canopy trees) on stigma pollen load (a measure of interaction for pollination), and 2) floral density and canopy cover (proxies for competition for abiotic resources) on yield (final fruit set and per-fruit weight), using structural equation modeling to evaluate the relative effect of each interaction type. Coffee competed for pollination with neighbors (conspecifics and heterospecifics) across strata. Pollen load influenced final fruit set, but the effect of neighbor competition for pollination was weaker than effects mediated by interaction for abiotic resources. Effects of interactions for abiotic resources were heterogeneous across strata, with negligible effects of herb-layer or coffee flower density but net positive effects of canopy trees on final fruit set. Overall effects of neighbors on coffee yield were weak, suggesting that coffee agroecosystems can be managed to maintain high plant density and diversity without sacrificing yield.

Data for empirical example in: An effect size for comparing the strength of morphological integration across studies

Understanding how and why phenotypic traits covary is a major interest in evolutionary biology. Biologists have long sought to characterize the extent of morphological integration in organisms, but comparing levels of integration for a set of traits across taxa has been hampered by the lack of a reliable summary measure and testing procedure. Here we propose a standardized effect size for this purpose, calculated from the relative eigenvalue variance, Vrel. First we evaluate several eigenvalue dispersion indices under various conditions, and show that only Vrel remains stable across samples size and the number of variables. We then demonstrate that Vrel accurately characterizes input patterns of covariation, so long as redundant dimensions are excluded from the calculations. However, we also show that the variance of the sampling distribution of Vrel depends on input levels of trait covariation, making Vrel unsuitable for direct comparisons. As a solution, we propose transforming Vrel to a standardized effect size (Z-score) for representing the magnitude of integration for a set of traits. We also propose a two-sample test for comparing the strength of integration between taxa, and show that this test displays appropriate statistical properties. We provide software for implementing the procedure, and an empirical example illustrates its use.

Decomposing niche components reveals simultaneous effects of opposite deterministic processes structuring alpine small mammal assembly

Our knowledge of community assembly dynamics under multiple stressors is limited because of opposite niche-based processes, i.e., limiting similarity and habitat filtering could simultaneously occur, masking the overall patterns. Alpine biomes provide the ideal systems to explore the influences of co-occurrence processes as these communities usually face multiple stresses such as resources limitation and habitat constraints. However, the assembly processes of mammals in alpine areas have hardly been exclusively studied. Here, we aimed to address how different processes structured small mammal communities at the tree line transition zone, which represents one of the most distinct vegetation boundaries separating alpine from montane habitats. We compiled a regional dataset including species list, phylogeny, and functional traits from field collections across 18 mountains of southwest China and complemented them with published data sources. The traits were decomposed into different niche components to determine the respective effects of specific stressors. Phylogenetic and functional diversity indices representing evolutionary history, trait space, and pairwise species distance were calculated and compared with null expectations. Linear mixed-effect models were constructed to assess the increasing or decreasing tendencies of diversity values against increasing elevation. The results showed that phylogenetic and functional richness were strongly correlated with species richness, unlike the distance-based indices which were uncorrelated with species richness. There was no evidence found to support non-random phylogenetic or overall trait patterns. However, the resource acquisition niche tended to be more overdispersed (positive slopes), while the habitat affinity niche tended to be more clustered (negative slopes) as habitats became less productive and less vegetated. We conclude that limiting similarity and habitat filtering simultaneously structure small mammal communities in alpine areas. Altogether, the present study provides vital insights into the complexity of co-occurring assembly processes by niche decomposition, and highlights the importance of considering different diversity dimensions when assessing community structure.

The effect of pseudofrazil particle entrainment on salinity measurements: Data

This experiment was designed to investigate the effect of entraining frazil ice particles found in supercooled ocean water by mimicking their effect through plastic particles of similar material properties as ice.  This was done in order to better control the volume concentration of the particles and avoid damage to sensors by icing which is common in supercooled water. In total six experiments were run in which non-spherical round polyamide-12 seeding particles made by Dantec Dynamics A/S with a mean diameter of 50 micro meters were added to natural saltwater tinged with surfactant whilst recording temperature and conductivity with Sea-Bird Electronics sensors.  Surfactant was Ecostore-brand eucalyptus laundry liquid (ingredients can be found here: https://ecostore.com/au/eucalyptus-laundry-liquid-409/, last accessed July 2022). Experiments are H1, H2 and HC performed with saltwater taken from Otago Harbour, Dunedin, New Zealand and M1, M2 and MC performed with saltwater taken from the Munida Transect offshore of Otago Peninsula, Dunedin, New Zealand. HC and MC were run in a walk-in freezer with water temperatures around -1 degrees C, all other experiments were performed at ambient room temperatures. The setup consisted of a 30 litre bucket containing 24 litres of seawater filtered to 1 micro meter. Surfactant was added to the water to aid particle dispersion.  Subsequently particles were added in increments to a total mass of particles in the bucket of 100 g. Temperature was recorded with a SBE3plus temperature sensor and conductivity with a SBE4C sensor.  These were connected to a SBE pump with standard SBE CT ducting.  Data were recorded with a SBE31 deck unit connected to a laptop computer. Data were recorded continuously, times at which particles were added or other operations performed are given in the tables <experimentname>info.xlsx Raw data were converted using the sensors' calibration coefficients and corrected for CT offset and cell thermal mass using the SBE data processing software and standard values for sensors configured as in the SBE911+ setup, which is equivalent to the ducting used by us. A manuscript with results from these experiments is available as Richter, M. E., et al., 2023, The Effect of Pseudofrazil Particle Entrainment on Salinity Measurements, Earth and Space Science, doi:10.1029/2022EA002564 .

Effects of pair migratory behaviour on breeding phenology and success in a partially migratory shorebird population

In migratory systems, variation in individual phenology can arise through differences in individual migratory behaviours, and this may be particularly apparent in partial migrant systems, where migrant and resident individuals are present within the same population. Links between breeding phenology and migratory behaviour or success are generally investigated at the individual level. However, for breeding phenology in particular, the migratory behaviours of each member of the pair may need to be considered simultaneously, as breeding phenology will likely be constrained by timing of the pair member that arrives last, and carry-over effects on breeding success may vary depending on whether pair members share the same migratory behaviour or not. We used tracking of marked individuals and monitoring of breeding success from a partially migrant population of Eurasian oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus) breeding in Iceland to test whether (a) breeding phenology varied with pair migratory behaviour; (b) within-pair consistency in timing of laying differed among pair migratory behaviours; and (c) reproductive performance varied with pair migratory behaviour, timing of laying and year. We found that annual variation in timing of laying differed among pair migratory behaviours, with resident pairs being more consistent than migrant and mixed pairs, and migrant/mixed pairs breeding earlier than residents in most years but later in one (unusually cold) year. Pairs that laid early were more likely to replace their clutch after nest loss, had higher productivity and higher fledging success, independent of pair migratory behaviour. Our study suggests that the links between individual migratory behaviour and reproductive success can vary over time and, to a much lesser extent, with mate migratory behaviour and can be mediated by differences in laying dates. Understanding these cascading effects of pair phenology on breeding success is likely to be key to predicting the impact of changing environmental conditions on migratory species.

Data from: Controlled drainage and subirrigation suitability in the United States: A meta-analysis of crop yield and soil moisture effects

Controlled drainage and subirrigation (CDSI) is an important water management strategy in many regions, but the conditions under which CDSI is most likely to increase crop yield and soil moisture are not fully understood. A meta-analysis, consisting of 154 pairwise observations from replicated and randomized trials in 30 peer-reviewed primary research articles on CDSI (6 controlled drainage, 24 CDSI, analyzed together due to data scarcity), was conducted to study the responses of yield and soil moisture to CDSI, and investigate how crop type, soil texture, and cumulative growing season precipitation (PGS) influence these responses. Based on the yield response to these moderating factors, we used a fuzzy-logic approach to map potentially suitable locations for CDSI in the conterminous United States. On average, CDSI increased yield by 8.0% (95% CI = 1.8–14.7%) compared with conventional free drainage. The yield response to CDSI did not differ among crops. However, a greater yield response to CDSI was observed in medium-textured soils (19.4% increase; 95% CI = 12.4–27.0%) than in coarse- or fine-textured soils. The positive effect of CDSI on yield increased with decreasing PGS in coarse- and medium-textured soils. There was no clear effect of CDSI on soil moisture, nor did any moderators influence this relationship, though this may be attributed to the scarcity of studies on CDSI reporting soil moisture. The fuzzy-logic-based approach revealed that while potentially suitable areas are mostly concentrated in the well studied U. S. Midwest, these areas also exist in other regions where CDSI may warrant further study.
