An information theory-based machine learning approach to detecting functionally conserved and coordinated protein dynamics
<p>The application of machine learning classification to the molecular dynamics of the functional states of protein allows for application of an information theoretic framework familiar to traditional bioinformatics. The functional states of proteins involving binding interactions with partners comprised of protein, DNA or small molecules can first be defined in a binary fashion (i.e. bound vs unbound), subsequently simulated in molecular dynamics software, and then employed as a comparative training set for a binary machine learning classifier capable of discerning the complex dynamical consequences of binding interaction. This learner can subsequently be deployed on new simulations of the functionally bound state to validate its ability to recognize the molecular motions that are supporting binding function. Regions of proteins with functionally conserved dynamics will induce significant local correlations in learning performance across independent validation runs. Through case studies of Rbp subunit 4/7 interaction in RNA Pol II and DNA-protein interactions of TATA binding protein, we demonstrate this method of detecting functionally conserved protein dynamics. We also demonstrate how Shannon information, relative entropy and mutual information can be applied to these binary classification states of dynamic simulations in order to compare dynamics and identify concerted motions involved in dynamic interactions across sites.</p>
Training dataset for semantic segmentation (U-Net) of structural conservation practices
<p>In this research, the best management practices include vegetative/structural conservation practices (SCP) across crop fields, such as grassed waterways and terraces. This reference dataset includes 500,000 pair patches (false-color image (B1: NIR, B2: Red, B3: Green) and binary label (SCP: yes[1] or no[0]). These training samples were randomly extracted from Iowa BMP project (<a href="https://www.gis.iastate.edu/gisf/projects/conservation-practices">https://www.gis.iastate.edu/gisf/projects/conservation-practices</a>) and present 90% of patches with SCP areas and 10% of patches non-SCP area. The patch dimension is 256 x 256 pixels at 2-m resolution. Due to the file size, the images were upload in different *.rar files (imagem_0_200k.rar, imagem_200_400k.rar, imagem_400_500k.rar), and the user should download all and merge them in the same folder. The corresponding labels are all in "class_bin.rar" file.</p> <p>Application: These pair images are useful for conservation practitioners interested in the classification of vegetative/structural SCPs using deep-learning semantic segmentation methods.</p> <p>Further information will be available in future.</p>

Data from: Australian rodents reveal conserved craniofacial evolutionary allometry across 10 million years of murid evolution
<p>Among vertebrates, placental mammals are particularly variable in the covariance between cranial shape and body size (allometry), with rodents a major exception. Australian murid rodents allow an assessment of the cause of this anomaly because they radiated on an ecologically diverse continent notably lacking other terrestrial placentals. Here we use 3D geometric morphometrics to quantify species-level and evolutionary allometries in 38 species (317 crania) from all Australian murid genera. We ask if ecological opportunity resulted in greater allometric diversity compared to other rodents, or if conserved allometry suggests intrinsic constraints and/or stabilizing selection. We also assess whether cranial shape variation follows the proposed "rule of craniofacial evolutionary allometry" (CREA), whereby larger species have relatively longer snouts and smaller braincases. To ensure we could differentiate parallel versus non-parallel species-level allometric slopes, we compared the slopes of rarefied samples across all clades. We found exceedingly conserved allometry and CREA-like patterns across the 10 million year split between <i>Mus</i> and Australian murids. This could support both intrinsic constraints and stabilizing selection hypotheses for conserved allometry. Large-bodied frugivores evolved faster than other species along the allometric trajectory, which could suggest stabilizing selection on the shape of the masticatory apparatus as body size changes.</p>
Data from: A conservation status survey of hornbills (Bucerotidae) in the Western Ghats, India
The Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot in India is threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, which is likely to impact large-bodied, wide-ranging species with specialised requirements such as hornbills. In this survey along the Western Ghats, we surveyed for four hornbill species that occur here: Malabar Pied Hornbill Anthracoceros coronatus, and Indian Grey Hornbill Ocyceros birostris (endemic to South Asia), Malabar Grey Hornbill Ocyceros griseus (endemic to the Western Ghats), and the Great Hornbill Buceros bicornis. We visited 45 localities across five states: Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu. These included 26 wildlife sanctuaries, 5 national parks, 13 reserved forests, and one plantation landscape. Across sites, we walked 80 transect surveys totalling a length of 286.4 km. In all, 631 individual hornbills (412 detections) were recorded across 35 localities. The Malabar Grey Hornbill was most frequently detected, and widely-distributed, followed by the Great, and Malabar Pied hornbills. The Indian Grey Hornbill, more widespread across India, was seen in only two locations in this survey. Hornbill encounter was up to five times higher in moist, and wet forests as compared to dry forest types. Based on hornbill distribution and protected areas, five important hornbill conservation landscapes were identified in the Western Ghats (Amboli–Goa–Dandeli, Anamalai–Parambikulam–Vazhachal, Nilgiris– Wayanad, Someshwara–Sharavati–Mookambika, Neyyar–Peppara–KMTR, and Periyar) along with key reserved forests (Kottiyoor, New Amarambalam, Vazhachal, Nelliampathy, Goodarickal, Kulathupuzha–Palode). Hornbill densities were estimated in two of the above landscapes, and are provided as a baseline. We highlight some key considerations for hornbill research and conservation, and future needs.
