Fig. 6 in Post-collection taphonomy, sampling effects and the role of the collector in palaeontological collections: A case study from an early Late Triassic bone accumulation in southernmost Brazil
Fig. 6. Selected specimens from the three collections showing effects of sullegic (i.e., during sampling activity), trephic (i.e., from transport to preparation and storage) and "taxonomical" factors. A and B show two mandibles of traversodontid cynodonts, of which previously just two out of ten fragments were considered as such, while the rest as indeterminate fragments. In C, several specimens from a single original association, numbered separately, and now together again, still being able to provide taphonomic information. Some of them (e.g., rib fragments) had been associated with similar others and analyzed with systematic interest, losing the taphonomic information. D shows two parts of the same bone (D1, MCP-PV 4017; D2, MCP-PV 4028), a right femur, encountered already separated and isolated, and catalogued as two different specimens, part in D2 being identified as an indeterminate fragment.

Data from: Longer days, larger grays: Carryover effects of photoperiod and temperature in gray treefrogs, Hyla versicolor
<p>Environmental conditions like temperature and photoperiod can strongly shape organisms' growth and development. For many ectotherms with complex life cycles, global change will cause their offspring to experience warmer conditions and earlier-season photoperiods, two variables that can induce conflicting responses. We experimentally manipulated photoperiod and temperature during gray treefrog (<em>Hyla versicolor</em>) larval development to examine effects at metamorphosis and during short (10-day) and long (56-day) periods post-metamorphosis. Both early- and late-season photoperiods (April and August) decreased age and size at metamorphosis relative to the average-season (June) photoperiod, while warmer temperatures decreased age but increased size at metamorphosis. Warmer larval temperatures reduced short-term juvenile growth but had no long-term effect. Conversely, photoperiod had no short-term carryover effect, but juveniles from early- and late-season larval photoperiods had lower long-term growth rates than juveniles from the average-season photoperiod. Similar responses to early- and late-season photoperiods may be due to reduced total daylight compared to average-season photoperiods. However, juveniles from late-season photoperiods selected cooler temperatures than early-season juveniles, suggesting not all effects of photoperiod were due to total light exposure. Our results indicate that despite both temperature and photoperiod affecting metamorphosis, the long-term effects of photoperiod may be much stronger than those of temperature.</p>
Data from: Transgenerational effects of doxycycline and anhydrotetracycline on the microbiome of the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina
<p>Tetracyclines are a family of broad-spectrum antibiotics commonly used in agriculture, medicine, and research. However, exposure to tetracyclines is associated with a wide range of negative health outcomes. In some cases, these negative effects are transgenerational: when individuals are treated with tetracyclines, their untreated offspring exhibit phenotypic abnormalities. The causes of such transgenerational effects are not well-understood, but disruption of the microbiome and/or mitochondria may play an important role. Transgenerational effects from tetracyclines may threaten the success of an environmentally-friendly form of pest control, the release of transgenic males carrying a tetracycline-repressible female lethal gene. In this study, we investigated the direct and transgenerational effects of two tetracycline-class antibiotics, doxycycline (DOX) and anhydrotetracycline (ATC), on the blowfly<em> Lucilia cuprina</em>, a facultative parasite of sheep. To simulate the rearing conditions used in a male-only release program, blowflies were reared on diet alone, or diet plus DOX or ATC, for three generations, then reared for an additional fourth generation off tetracyclines. We used 16S amplicon sequencing and qPCR to examine whole-body microbiome composition and bacterial and mitochondrial DNA abundance in third and fourth generation flies. The microbiomes of third generation flies reared on DOX or ATC were similar in composition and diversity to the microbiomes of flies reared exclusively on the control diet. However, we found that the untreated fourth generation offspring of DOX- or ATC-treated flies displayed major shifts in microbiome composition relative to both their treated parents and untreated control groups. Our study supports a growing body of evidence that tetracyclines exert both direct and transgenerational effects on arthropods, and highlights the need to address these impacts in the context of insect pest management.</p>
Code from: Enhancing data-limited assessments with random effects: A case study on Korea chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus)
<div> <div> <div> <p>In a state-space framework, temporal variations in fishery-dependent processes can be modeled as random effects. This modeling flexibility makes state-space models (SSMs) powerful tools for data-limited assessments. Though SSMs enable the model-based inference of the unobserved processes, their flexibility can lead to overfitting and non-identifiability issues. To address these challenges, we developed a suite of state-space length-based age-structured models and applied them to the Korean chub mackerel (<em>Scomber japonicus</em>) stock. Our research demonstrated that incorporating temporal variations in fishery-dependent processes can rectify model mis-specification but may compromise robustness, which can be diagnosed through a series of model checking processes. To tackle non-identifiability, we used a non- degenerate estimator, implementing a gamma distribution as a penalty for the standard deviation parameters of observation errors. This penalty function enabled the simultaneous estimation of both process and observation error variances with minimal bias, a notably challenging task in SSMs. These results highlight the importance of model checking and the effectiveness of the penalized approach in estimating SSMs. Additionally, we discussed novel assessment outcomes for the mackerel stock.</p> </div> </div> </div>
Psychedelic drug effects on reactivity of the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus and threat responding behavior
<p>Psychedelics have experienced renewed interest following studies suggesting potential therapeutic effects in patients with affective disorders. While clinical results look promising, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying acute and prolonged effects of psychedelics remain unclear. Many psychiatric disorders involve hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction. The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) is a midline hypothalamic nucleus that plays an integral role in HPA stress reactivity, autonomic functioning, social behavior, and many other affective processes. We investigated the effect of psilocin, the psychoactive metabolite of psilocybin, on PVN reactivity in Sprague Dawley rats. Psilocin increased stimulus-independent activity as measured by c-Fos expression in the PVN of male and female rats. Psilocin also increased PVN reactivity (ΔF/F) to an aversive air-puff stimulus in males but not females. PVN reactivity was restored at 2- and 7-days post-injection with no group differences. Additionally, we found that prior psilocin injection did not affect PVN reactivity following acute restraint stress. Experimental groups were sub-classified by baseline threat responding and psilocin-induced increases in male PVN reactivity were found to be driven by baseline active threat responders. Overall, these data demonstrate that the PVN is a significant site of psychedelic drug action with implications for threat responding behavior.</p>
Effects of personalized music listening on post-stroke cognitive impairment: A randomized controlled trial
<p><strong><span>Background and purpose:</span></strong><span> Previous studies have suggested that music listening has the potential to positively affect mood and cognitive functions in individuals with <a name="_Hlk140153246"></a>post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI), with a preference for self-selected music likely to yield better outcomes. However, there is insufficient clinical evidence to suggest the use of music listening in routine rehabilitation care to treat PSCI. This randomized control trial (RCT) aims to investigate the effects of personalized music listening on mood improvement, <a name="_Hlk140153263"></a>activities of daily living (ADLs), and cognitive functions in individuals with PSCI.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Materials and methods:</span></strong><span> A total of 34 patients with PSCI were randomly assigned to either the music group or the control group. Patients in the music group underwent a three-month personalized music-listening intervention. The intervention involved listening to a personalized playlist tailored to each individual's cultural, ethnic, and social background, life experiences, and personal music preferences. In contrast, the control group patients listened to white noise as a placebo. Cognitive function, neurological function, mood, and ADLs were assessed. </span></p> <p><strong><span>Results:</span></strong><strong><span> </span></strong><span>After three months of treatment, the music group showed significantly higher <a name="_Hlk140153278"></a>Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores compared to the control group (<em>p=</em>0.027), particularly in the domains of delayed memory (<em>p=</em>0.019) and orientation (<em>p=</em>0.023). Moreover, the music group demonstrated significantly better scores in <a name="_Hlk140153297"></a>National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) (<em>p=</em>0.008), <a name="_Hlk140153304"></a>Barthel Index (BI) (<em>p=</em>0.019), and <a name="_Hlk140153315"></a>Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview (ZBI) (<em>p=</em>0.008) compared to the control group. No effects were found on mood as measured by the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAMA) and the Hamilton depression scale (HAMD).</span></p>

Data from: Status-dependent metabolic effects of social interactions in a group-living fish
<p>Social interactions can sometimes be a source of stress, but social companions can also ameliorate and buffer against stress. Stress and metabolism are closely linked, but the degree to which social companions modulate metabolic responses during stressful situations—and whether such effects differ depending on social rank—is poorly understood. To investigate this question, we studied Neolamprologus pulcher, a group-living cichlid fish endemic to Lake Tanganyika, and measured the metabolic responses of dominant and subordinate individuals when they were either visible or concealed from one another. When individuals could see each other, subordinates had lower maximum metabolic rates and tended to take longer to recover following an exhaustive chase compared to dominants. In contrast, metabolic responses of dominants and subordinates did not differ when individuals could not see one another. These findings suggest that the presence of a dominant individual has negative metabolic consequences for subordinates, even in stable social groups with strong prosocial relationships.</p>
