Data for: Home security cameras as a tool for behavior observations and science equity
<p class="MsoNormal">Reliably capturing transient animal behavior in the field and laboratory remains a logistical and financial challenge, especially for small ectotherms. Here, we present a camera system that is affordable, accessible, and suitable to monitor small, cold-blooded animals historically overlooked by commercial camera traps, such as small amphibians. The system is weather-resistant, can operate offline or online, and allows collection of time-sensitive behavioral data in laboratory and field conditions with continuous data storage for up to four weeks. The lightweight camera can also utilize phone notifications over Wi-Fi so that observers can be alerted when animals enter a space of interest, enabling sample collection at proper time periods. We present our findings, both technological and scientific, in an effort to elevate tools that enable researchers to maximize use of their research budgets. We discuss the relative affordability of our system for researchers in South America, which is home to the largest population of ectotherm diversity.</p>

Infants on the Move: Bibliometric Analyses of Observational versus Digital Means of Screening Infant Development
<p>Datasets, High Resolution Images and Video tutorials for Bibliometric use on neonatal General Movements Assessment</p> <p>Neurodevelopmental disorder diagnoses have increased significantly over the years, though the average age of detection is 4.5 years old. This delay is partly due to reliance on social-communication criteria. These criteria require a level of maturation that takes much longer than scaffolding elements of neuromotor control. Early components of neurodevelopment include early evolution of reflexes, development of interactions between central pattern generators and cortical structures, maturation of intentional movements and their overall sensation. Such elements have been studied in General Movement Assessment (GMA) using observational means, but the last two decades have seen a surge in digital tools (biosensors, video-based pose estimation and algorithms) that permit non-invasive tracking of newborns’ movements. Despite their importance, these tools are not yet broadly used. In this work, using CiteSpace, VOSViewer and SciMAT software, we investigate the evolution of the literature on GMA and the methods in use today, to estimate how digital techniques are being adopted. To that end, we created maps of key word co-occurrence networks, co-author networks, document co-citation analysis and strategic diagrams of 295 publications based on a search in the Web of Science, Dimensions and SCOPUS databases for: ‘general movement assessment’ OR ‘general movements assessment’. The nodes on the maps were categorized by size, cluster groups and year of publication. We found that the state-of-the-art methodology to diagnose neurodevelopmental disorders still relies heavily on observation. Several groups in classical GMA research have branched out to incorporate new techniques, but few groups have adopted digital means. We report on additional analyses of methods and biosensors usage and propose that combining traditional clinical observation criteria with digital means may allow earlier diagnoses and interventional therapies for infants.</p>

Preserving the National Geothermal Data System's Geothermal Features and Observations Dataset (AASG-GDS)
<p>The National Geothermal Data System (NGDS) is a distributed, interoperable network of data collected from state geological surveys across all fifty states and the nation’s leading academic geothermal centers (<a href="https://data.geothermaldata.org">https://data.geothermaldata.org</a>). The system houses a variety of geoscientific data ranging from text reports, geologic maps, photo imagery, well logs, chemical and mineral assays, and various other research products. Its flagship data product was a collection of structured tables describing geologic wells, other geologic sampling features, and associated observations (e.g., heat flow, aqueous chemistry). These data tables remain the most heavily requested NGDS product, but institutional, financial, and technical instability among NGDS and its partnered data contributors has made access to this dataset erratic in recent years. In response, the Arizona Geological Survey (AZGS) and the U.S. Geosciences Information Network (USGIN) partnered to repackage and republish these datasets in trusted scientific archives under the codename AASG-GDS. </p> <p>An ArcGIS Online web map version of the ESRI File Geodatabase included in this packet can be viewed at https://uagis.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=7b39964a182d4abdaccc2b064e47721b.</p>

On the variability of the slow solar wind: New insights from the modelling and PSP-WISPR observations.
<p>We analyse the signature and origin of transient structures embedded in the slow solar wind, and observed by the Wide-Field Imager for Parker Solar Probe (WISPR) during its first 10 passages close to the Sun. WISPR provides a new in-depth vision on these structures, which have long been speculated to be a remnant of the pinch-off magnetic reconnection occurring at the tip of helmet streamers.<br> We pursue the previous modelling works of Reville (2020b, 2022) that simulate the dynamic release of quasi-periodic density structures into the slow wind through a tearing-induced magnetic reconnection at the tip of helmet streamers. Synthetic WISPR white-light (WL) images are produced using a newly developed advanced forward modelling algorithm, that includes an adaptive grid refinement to resolve the smallest transient structures in the simulations. We analyse the aspect and properties of the simulated WL signatures in several case studies, typical of solar minimum and near-maximum configurations.<br> Quasi-periodic density structures associated with small-scale magnetic flux ropes are formed by tearing-induced magnetic reconnection at the heliospheric current sheet and within 3-7Rs. Their appearance in WL images is greatly affected by the shape of the streamer belt and the presence of pseudo-streamers. The simulations show periodicities on the ~90-180min, ~7-10hr and ~25-50hr timescales, which are compatible with WISPR and past observations.<br> This work shows strong evidence for a tearing-induced magnetic reconnection contributing to the long-observed high variability of the slow solar wind.</p>
