FAIR-IMPACT Synchronisation Force: preliminary data gathered from projects and intiatives

Between the 21st and 24th of November 2022 more than 120 representatives of projects and initiatives funded and/or supported by the European Commission H2020 and Horizon Europe programmes and operating in the EOSC framework joined the FAIR-IMPACT Synchronisation Force collaborative sessions to assess the implementation of the FAIR principles across research projects and initiatives in the EOSC framework. The team focussed on work related to FAIR-IMPACT focus areas, namely Metrics and assessing FAIRness (session 1), Persistent Identifiers (Session 2), Trustworthy and FAIR-enabling repositories (Session 3) and Metadata, semantics and interoperability (Session 4). In order to ensure an interactive meeting, participants were asked  to complete a preliminary survey according to the sessions that they would join and complete 4 questions. The inputs received constituted the starting point for the discussions during the Synchronisation Force Workshop and are collected here as pdf files.

The Impact of Satellite Trails on Hubble Space Telescope Observations: satellite classifications

This repository contains the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations with satellite classifications, released in the paper "<a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-023-01903-3">The Impact of Satellite Trails on Hubble Space Telescope Observations</a>" (DOI: 10.1038/s41550-023-01903-3). This table contains 114 607 individual HST images taken in the last 19 years and publicly released in the <a href="https://hst.esac.esa.int/">eHST</a> archive by 3 October 2021, with satellite trail classifications made with machine learning and citizen science. We processed the individual images by adding the two ACS/WFC (WFC3/UVIS, respectively) apertures side-by-side, without correcting for geometric distortions and without the gap between the two detectors (hence why the satellite trails can appear discontinuous in the images). Note that these are not original images from the eHST archive, and therefore are not meant for other scientific analysis. The dataset contains 3072 HST images with satellites (2.7% of the dataset) and 3228 satellite trails in total. The classifications were visually inspected and vetted by the authors (images are flagged with the 'satellite' flag).  The table contains the following columns: <ul> <li>observation IDs: both individual exposures (simple_id) and composite images, multiple individual exposures processed  and stacked (composite_id);</li> <li>instrument: ACS/WFC or WFC3/UVIS;</li> <li>start time and end time of exposure;</li> <li>exposure duration; </li> <li>right ascension (ra) and declination (dec);</li> <li>'satellite' flag [empty otherwise];</li> <li>no_sat: number of satellites in the image;</li> <li>image URL - URL for the individual HST observations used for satellite classification;</li> <li>additional metadata columns, as available in the <a href="https://hst.esac.esa.int/">eHST</a> archive.</li> </ul> The satellites were classified by volunteers on the <a href="http://www.asteroidhunter.org">Hubble Asteroid Hunter</a> citizen science project and with a machine learning classifier. Please cite the paper (<a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-023-01903-3">Kruk et al.</a>, <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-023-01903-3">https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-023-01903-3</a>) when using the data in this repository.

Data for: Positive impact of postfire environment on bumble bees not explained by habitat variables in a remote forested ecosystem

Bumble bees are important pollinators in temperate forested regions where fire is a driving force for habitat change, and thus understanding how these insects respond to fire is critical. Previous work has shown bees are often positively affected by the post-fire environment, with burned sites supporting greater bee abundance and diversity, and increased floral resources. The extent to which fire impacts variation in bumble bee site occupancy is not well understood, especially in higher latitude regions with dense, primarily coniferous forests. Occupancy models are powerful tools for biodiversity analyses, as they separately estimate occupancy probability (likelihood that a species is present at a particular location) and detection probability (likelihood of observing a species when it is present). Using these models, we tested whether bumble bee site occupancy is higher in burned locations as a result of the increase in canopy openness, floral species richness, and floral abundance. We quantified the impact of fire, and associated habitat changes, on bumble bee species' occupancy in an area with high wildfire frequency in British Columbia, Canada. The burn status of a site was the only significant predictor for determining bumble bee occurrence (with burned sites having higher occupancy); floral resource availability and canopy openness only impacted detection probability (roughly, sample bias). These findings highlight the importance of controlling for the influence of habitat on species detection in pollinator studies and suggest that fire in this system changes the habitat for bumble bees in positive ways that extend beyond our measurements of differences in floral resources and canopy cover.

Examining litter specific variability in mice and its impact on neurodevelopmental studies

Our current understanding of litter variability in neurodevelopmental studies using mice may limit translation of neuroscientific findings. Higher variance of measures across litters than within, often termed intra-litter likeness, may be attributable to both pre- and postnatal environment. This study aimed to assess the litter-effect within behavioral assessments (2 timepoints) and anatomy using T1-weighted magnetic resonance images across 72 brain region volumes (4 timepoints) (36 C57bl/6J inbred mice; 7 litters: 19F/17M). Between-litter comparisons of brain and behavioral measures and their associations were evaluated using univariate and multivariate techniques. A power analysis using simulation methods was then performed on modeled neurodevelopment and to evaluate trade-offs between number-of-litters, number-of-mice-per-litter, and sample size. Our results show litter-specific developmental effects, from the adolescent period to adulthood for brain structure volumes and behaviors, and for their associations in adulthood. Our power simulation analysis suggests increasing the number-of-litters in experimental designs to achieve the smallest total sample size necessary for detecting different rates of change in specific brain regions. Our results demonstrate how litter-specific effects may influence development and that increasing the litters to the total sample size ratio should be strongly considered when designing neurodevelopmental studies.

Individualized mental fatigue does not impact neuromuscular function and exercise performance

Previous work has shown that mental fatigue may have negative consequences on cognitive or physical performance, although recent reports question this previous empirical evidence. Here, we investigate the critical role of inter-individual differences in susceptibility to develop mental fatigue by measuring neurophysiological and physical responses to an individualized mental fatigue task. We expected mental load to alter both subjective, i.e., increased subjective perception of fatigue, and objective markers of fatigue, i.e., impaired knee extensor neuromuscular function, impaired corticospinal excitability and reduced cerebral oxygenation. Even though all participants performed a similar mental effort, their performance in a subsequent exercise did not differ. Furthermore, even if there was an elevated subjective feeling of mental fatigue, none of the neurophysiological parameters were affected. The study provides new insights into an issue that has grown in popularity in recent years without questioning individual differences and which has taken for granted the detrimental effect of acute mental fatigue on performance.

The Mixed Layer Depth in the Ocean Model Intercomparison Project (OMIP): Impact of Resolving Mesoscale Eddies: supporting data

This file contains a jupyter notebook (python language) used to produce the figures of a manuscript submitted to the journal Geoscientific Model Development, and the data necessary to reproduce the figures. Abstract of the manuscript: The ocean mixed layer is the interface between the ocean interior and the atmosphere or sea ice, and plays a key role in climate variability. It is thus critical that numerical models used in climate studies are capable of a good representation of the mixed layer, especially its depth. Here we evaluate the mixed layer depth (MLD) in six pairs of non-eddying (1° resolution) and eddy-rich (up to 1/16°) models from the Ocean Model Intercomparison Project (OMIP), forced by a common atmospheric state. For model validation, we use an updated MLD dataset computed from observations using the OMIP protocol (a constant density threshold). In winter, low resolution models exhibit large biases in the deep water formation regions. These biases are reduced in eddy-rich models but not uniformly across models and regions. The improvement is most noticeable in the mode water formation regions of the northern hemisphere. Results in the Southern Ocean are more contrasted, with biases of either sign remaining at high resolution. In eddy-rich models, mesoscale eddies control the spatial variability of MLD in winter. Contrary to a hypothesis that the deepening of the mixed layer in anticyclones would make the MLD larger globally, eddy-rich models tend to have a shallower mixed layer at most latitudes than coarser models do. In addition, our study highlights the sensitivity of the MLD computation to the choice of a reference level and the spatio-temporal sampling, which motivates new recommendations for MLD computation in future model intercomparison projects.

Data from: Assessing the mechanisms and impacts of shrub invasion in forests: A meta-analysis

<ol> <li>The encroachment of invasive shrubs in forest understories can have detrimental effects on native plant recruitment. As a result, removal of invasive species is a common practice although long-lasting success is rare. In order to effectively conserve and manage invaded forests, it is crucial to understand the mechanisms that drive shrub invasion, i.e., high propagule pressure, low native resistance, and exploitation of empty niches.</li> <li>To gain a deeper understanding of the invasion process in forest ecosystems we conducted a meta-analysis of the work done in this topic. We collected data on invasive species and native community performance and on the abiotic conditions of forest understories under low and high levels of shrub invasion. We analyzed data from 124 articles that yielded 377 unique observations.</li> <li>Our results revealed that while invader performance did not vary by the mechanism of invasion, the impact on the native community was significantly detrimental when invasion occurred via low biotic resistance, and only marginally significant via propagule pressure. Invasive species performance was associated with increases in light availability, but not with other resources (soil water, or nutrients). When assessing impact on native performance as a function of invasive performance, results were again only significant under the low biotic resistance mechanism. Lastly, impacts were stronger when invasion took place by a single invader.</li> <li> Synthesis and applications: Taken together, these results suggest that restoration efforts should focus on (i) increasing the presence of strong native competitors or functionally diverse native communities, (ii) decreasing sources of invasive shrub propagules while keeping the canopies closed when invasion occurs via high propagule pressure, (iii) avoiding management techniques that degrade or diminish canopy cover, and (iv) prioritizing management of forest understories dominated by particularly impactful invasive shrubs.</li> </ol>
