Data from: An inexpensive and open-source method to study large terrestrial animal diet and behavior using time-lapse video and GPS

1. The behavior of free-ranging animals is difficult to study, especially on the large spatial and temporal scales relevant to long-lived large species. Animal-borne video and environmental data collection systems (AVEDs) record behavior and other data in real time as animals conduct daily activities. However, few studies have combined systematically collected, long term AVED foraging data with environmental and movement data to test hypotheses on animal foraging. Additionally, AVEDs are often either prohibitively expensive, or require extensive fabrication and programming knowledge. 2. The video and coordinate animal-mounted system (VACAMS) is an animal-mounted data collection system based on a modified GoPro® action camera platform that records short, first "person" perspective videos of animal behavior on an automated time-lapse schedule. As most videos are georeferenced, researchers can return to the locations of specific behaviors and collect accurate, fine-grained data on non-woody vegetation and other habitat characteristics that may influence animal behavior. Moreover, VACAMS are inexpensive and easy to use. 3. This study describes VACAMS preliminary data on cattle foraging and a hypothesis exploring free-ranging cattle browsing habits throughout the rainy season in the tropical dry forest of Sonora, Mexico. I generated a database of vegetation types consumed by cows each month (Annual, Woody, and Leaf litter) and compared actual vegetation type frequencies to a priori assumptions based on seasonal patterns of forage availability. During the monsoons, when palatable vegetation was abundant, frequencies of annual and woody perennial vegetation in cattle diets did not differ from month to month. When the rains ceased and palatable vegetation became scarce, cows switched to leaf litter, dead annual vegetation, twigs, and dried leguminous fruits. 4. Open source software and commercially available hardware make VACAMS financially attainable for many researchers, land managers, students, and other user groups. VACAMS could be used on a range of domestic and semi-domestic free-ranging animals, particularly in dense forests where conventional observations are impossible. With improvements to GPS battery life and durability, the weakest points of the system, VACAMS could also potentially apply to studies of other large terrestrial animals.

Data from: Open notes sounds great, but will a provider's documentation change?

Background: The effects of shared clinical notes on patients, care partners, and clinicians ("open notes") were first studied as a demonstration project in 2010. Since then, multiple studies have shown clinicians agree shared progress notes are beneficial to patients, and patients and care partners report benefits from reading notes. To determine if implementing open notes at a hematology/oncology practice changed providers' documentation style, we assessed the length and readability of clinicians' notes before and after open notes implementation at an academic medical center in Boston, MA. Methods: We analyzed 143,888 notes from 60 hematology/oncology clinicians before and after the open notes debut at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, from January 1, 2012, to September 1, 2016. We measured the providers' (medical doctor/nurse practitioner) documentation styles by analyzing character length, the number of addenda, note entry mode (dictated vs. typed) and note readability. Measurements used five different readability formulas and were assessed on notes written before and after the introduction of open notes on November 25, 2013. Results: After the introduction of open notes, the mean length of progress notes increased from 6,174 characters to 6,648 characters (P<0.001), and the mean character length of the "assessment and plan" (A&P) increased from 1,435 characters to 1,597 characters (P<0.001). The Average Grade Level Readability of progress notes decreased from 11.50 to 11.33, and overall readability improved by 0.17 (P=0.01). There were no statistically significant changes in the length or readability of "Initial Notes" or Letters, inter-doctor communication, nor in the modality of the recording of any kind of note. Conclusions: After the implementation of open notes, progress notes and A&P sections became both longer and easier to read. This suggests clinician documenters may be responding to the perceived pressures of a transparent medical records environment.

Austrian Science Fund (FWF) Open Access Compliance Monitoring 2020

I. Executive summary The Austrian Science Fund (FWF), which is Austria's main funding organisation for basic research, encourages and helps all project leaders and project staff members to make their peer-reviewed research results freely available on the Internet. Any exceptions must be clearly indicated and justified. For projects that started after 1 January 2015, open access has been compulsory for all peer-reviewed publications. All principal investigators in FWF-funded projects are obliged to submit a final report within four months of completing their projects. In 2020, a total of 483 final reports were submitted to the FWF, 32 of which could not report any publications so far. The publications and other data mentioned in those reports are archived and analysed by the FWF. This report examines the state of compliance with open access requirements for peer-reviewed publications on the basis of final project reports submitted in the year 2020. 2020 shows a significant decline in the number of publications compared to 2019. This decline can be explained by the fact that 15% fewer final project reports were received as a result of weaker funding years in the mid-2010s as well as an increased shift of final report submissions from 2020 to later points in time (‘corona effect’). Especially in the programmes with the highest number of publications (Doctoral Programmes, Special Research Programmes) as well as in programmes with many projects (Stand-Alone Projects, International Projects), there were fewer final project reports submitted, which has a massive impact on the total number of publications. It must be taken into account that the method (recording the number of publications via final project reports) is a look into the past, as the final project reports show publications that were produced in previous years during the project term. The publication activity in relation to the year of publication itself is relatively constant according to databases such as Dimensions. Due to the automation of the monitoring processes and the introduction of Plan S of cOAlition S, the category of ‘Other open access’ (self-archiving in a non-maintained repository, homepage, or archiving of preprints), which was previously determined manually, is no longer taken into account, and thus the open access share of peer-reviewed publications has decreased compared to previous years. Main findings: -A total of 6,196 publications were listed in the final project reports submitted in 2020. -Of those publications, 4,809 were conclusively identified as peer-reviewed. -Regarding compliance with the FWF's Open Access Policy, the analysis shows that 84% of the peer-reviewed publications listed in the final project reports submitted in 2020 were openly accessible (2015: 83%, 2016: 92%, 2017: 90%, 2018: 92%, 2019: 89%). -The most frequently chosen option was hybrid open access (40%). The share of old open access was 21%, the share of green open access 23%, and no open access 16%. -The majority of peer-reviewed publications submitted were journal articles (89%), 88% of which were openly accessible. -The lowest rate of compliance with the FWF's Open Access Policy could be found in editions, contributions to edited volumes, and monographs (38%). -The absolute number of publications listed in final reports in 2020 included 362 publications that were mentioned several times in different projects; however, those repetitions did not ultimately affect the relative share of open access publications (83%). II. Bias Most of the publications were submitted to the FWF via a research documentation system (provided by ©Researchfish), in which FWF-funded researchers are able to enter and update their research data on an ongoing basis. The last check of the open access status was performed in March 2020. In some cases, the embargo period may have already expired, and publications labelled ‘no open access’ in the FWF’s database may now be accessible through green open access. Whenever the status ‘peer-reviewed’ could not be clearly identified according to the FWF’s guidelines, the publications were classified as non-peer reviewed. Openly available non-peer reviewed publications were entered as 'openly available’.

The role of shade in maintaining alternative stable states between open- and closed-canopy vegetation

Fire is commonly identified as strong driver of alternative stable states such as adjacent open- versus closed-canopy vegetation types. The absence of open-canopy species from closed-canopy understoreys, where light availability is low and dynamic, however, suggests shade tolerance is an integral determinant of such vegetation boundaries. While the importance of light dynamics between alternative stable states has been acknowledged, the physiological mechanisms behind sun versus shade-tolerance are unclear. Here we investigated the differences in light interception and carbon assimilation of open- and closed-canopy species, and whether this contributes to the maintenance of alternative stable states. Evergreen forest and fynbos species were grown under three light availability treatments (24%, 54%, 100%) in a glasshouse with their photosynthetic response to continuous and fluctuating light, dark respiration, root respiration, biomass and leaf traits quantified. Fynbos species displayed smaller, thicker, and tightly aggregated leaves compared to forest species. Under low light, fynbos species experienced some mortality, and showed lower light-use efficiency with fluctuating light and lower in situ photosynthetic rates under the 54% light treatment compared to forest species (0.8 versus 4 mmol CO2 m-2 s-1). Synthesis. Contrasting light availability in forest and fynbos selects for dissimilar traits, where fynbos species are unable to efficiently intercept light and maintain a positive carbon balance under low, dynamic light compared to forest species. This shade intolerance is exacerbated by divergent nutrient and fire regimes in forest and fynbos environments, requiring incompatible trait specializations that promote the emergence and maintenance of alternative stable states.

Instance data: open-shop scheduling problems with any regular minsum objective

Open shop scheduling instances used in the working paper <ul> <li>Emde, S. & Lysgaard, J. (2021). Branch-cut-and-price for open-shop scheduling problems with any regular minsum objective.</li> </ul> The instances in file Brucker_instances.csv are based on the test data for the classic [O||Cmax] problem from Brucker, P., Hurink, J., Jurisch, B., & Wöstmann, B. (1997). A branch & bound algorithm for the open-shop problem. Discrete Applied Mathematics, 76(1-3), 43-59. They are enriched with release and due dates as well as machine-pair dependent transportation delays. The instances in file random_instances.csv are new. The files contain comma-separated values. Each line (except for the header) stands for one instance. The columns labels are: ID: label (identifier) of the instance n: number of jobs m: number of machines p: processing times; each square bracket stands for one machine, the values inside the brackets for the processing times of the jobs on the respective machine t: transfer times between machines; note that the dummy machine 0 where all jobs originate and end is the last machine, i.e., it  has the highest index r: release dates for each job d: due dates for each job. Mj: set of machines on which the jobs must be processed; each square bracket stands for one job, values inside the brackets for machine indices. Note that indices are zero-based. In instance set Brucker_instances.csv, every machine is visited by every job, therefore there is no column Mj. Conversely, due dates are immaterial for the random instances because of their quadratic completion time objective. Hence, they are omitted from the table.

Connectivity and succession of open structures as a key to sustaining light-demanding biodiversity in deciduous forests

1. European forests are facing a rapid decline of light-demanding biota. This has prompted active interventions to re-establish and maintain partial habitat openness in protected areas. Managers of protected areas, however, need substantially more scientific evidence to support their decisions on where, when, and how to intervene. 2. We investigated the importance of spatial continuity of open forest habitats in different years of succession, using six pairs of experimental clearings established in the formerly open, oak-dominated forests of the Podyji National Park (Czech Republic). In each pair, one clearing was connected to the forest edge, while the other was isolated in closed forest. We sampled butterflies (74 spp.), moths (435 spp.), saproxylic beetles (465 spp.), and vascular plants (567 spp.) on the 12 clearings during the first five years of succession. We then compared species richness, abundance, and composition of the four taxa between the two clearing types and along the succession. 3. All studied insect groups were substantially more species-rich and more abundant in connected than in isolated clearings. Species composition of plants, moths, and butterflies differed between the clearing types. 4. The number of species of all studied taxa generally increased from the first to the second or third year after cutting; species composition of all taxa differed among years. This suggests rapid changes in habitat quality and thus limited time for colonisation by light-demanding organisms. 5. Synthesis and applications: Our results offer an evidence that spatial connectivity and rapid temporal dynamics are important habitat features for light-demanding insects. Attempts to create or restore habitats for light-demanding forest biota should take into account that: (i) Insects benefit from direct connection of new open patches to open habitats or flight corridors such as forest edges. (ii) Considering plants, the optimal solution is to connect newly created open forest habitats to existing habitats with established biota of high conservation value. (iii) Interventions should be carried out within short time intervals, i.e. within years rather than decades. (iv) A fine mosaic of interconnected, open woodland patches in various successional stages is more beneficial than a single large patch with a single successional stage.

'Opening the Future' - a new funding model for open-access monographs: introducing an innovative approach to publishing OA books through library membership funding

We showcase a collaborative pilot case study that implements an innovative open access revenue model at the Central European University Press and Liverpool University Press, with assistance from the COPIM Project (Community-led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs). Building on existing library subscription models (e.g. OBP, punctum), this is a sustainable OA publishing model that gives library members access to a highly-regarded backlist, with the membership fees then used to make the frontlist openly accessible. Given the current global library environment and existing budget pressures that have been exacerbated by Covid-19, a consortial model of funding promises a cost-effective solution for OA that means no single institution bears a disproportionate burden. This model, then, appeals to both those who wish to pay for subscription-access content (more traditional university acquisition models) and those who support OA initiatives. It brings many institutions together under one roof for an affordable route to open access books. Library members get access to a selection of the publishers’ backlists, DRM free and with perpetual access after three years. In return, the membership revenue is used to make newly-published books openly accessible to anyone with an internet connection. We believe Opening the Future is a trailblazer in scholarly comms, offering a viable and affordable route to OA change for small/medium university presses and which appeals to libraries of all sizes and budgets. We aim to open up research for the public good. The model that we are piloting reduces inequalities in access to open access publication by eradicating exclusionary book processing charges (BPCs). As we progress with the pilot, we are writing up everything we’ve done to implement the model and will release this and any software as a free toolkit, so that other publishers can use it and also take the leap.
