Using eDNA for monitoring fish and invertebrate biodiversity in freshwater ecosystems
<p>Global biodiversity is facing an extinction crisis leading to increasing pressure on industries to monitor their potential environmental impact. Relatedly, there is demand for more efficient biodiversity monitoring methods, resulting in growing interest in the use of environmental DNA (eDNA). Many questions, however, regarding the reliability of this relatively novel method remain, particularly for non-specialist end-users of the technology.</p> <p>Here, the use of commercially available (in the UK) eDNA assays for monitoring freshwater fish and invertebrate biodiversity was compared to conventional surveillance techniques. Samples were collected from different habitats, on varying spatial scales and using multiple sampling regimes to assess how eDNA results were affected.</p> <p>For aquatic macroinvertebrates and fish, more taxa were detected by eDNA than conventional surveys conducted in parallel, and for fish, all taxa detected by conventional monitoring were confirmed by eDNA.</p> <p>For aquatic macroinvertebrates, several species were only detected through conventional methods, and the number of families detected by eDNA was lower than for conventional monitoring at all sites.</p> <p>eDNA results varied significantly between sampling locations within lentic sites and, for lotic sites, with the number of subsamples collected.</p> <p>In terms of practical implications, this study demonstrates the need for bespoke sampling protocols when collecting eDNA samples. This study improves understanding of using eDNA for detecting aquatic taxa that could inform species surveillance protocols. These are essential if eDNA is to be used by practitioners as a regulatory monitoring tool.</p>
Positive correlation between Ammospiza caudacuta (Saltmarsh Sparrow) capture and productivity supports use of a novel rapid assessment monitoring protocol
<p>Salt marshes in the northeastern United States provide critical breeding habitat for tidal marsh specialist birds like the Saltmarsh Sparrow (Ammospiza caudacuta). The Saltmarsh Sparrow population has declined by nine percent annually, necessitating immediate conservation actions for this vulnerable species. However, estimating species vital rates across a large geographic region is logistically challenging and cost prohibitive. Therefore, we developed and tested a rapid assessment monitoring protocol focused on reproductive metrics to enhance future conservation planning.</p> <p>We used three years of intensive demographic data from 12 sites to estimate daily nest survival, nest period success, fledglings produced per female, and successful broods per female. We implemented the rapid assessment protocol co-located at intensive sites in the same years to estimate the number of captured females and juveniles. We used Pearson's correlation analyses to determine the association of intensive metrics with rapid metrics. We found that the sum of Saltmarsh Sparrow female and juvenile captures was positively correlated with daily nest survival, nest period success, fledglings produced per female, and successful broods per female. Our results demonstrate that fixed-effort mist-netting from our rapid assessment protocol is an informative and time-efficient sampling method that can aid in making informed management decisions related to Saltmarsh Sparrow conservation.</p>

Data from: Primer sets evaluation and sampling method assessment for the monitoring of fish communities in the North-western part of the Mediterranean Sea through eDNA metabarcoding
<p>Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding appears to be a promising tool for surveying fish communities. However, the effectiveness of this method relies on primer set performance and on a robust sampling strategy. While some studies have evaluated the efficiency of several primers for fish detection, it has not yet been assessed <em>in situ </em>for the Mediterranean Sea. In addition, mainly surface waters were sampled and no filter porosity testing was performed. In this pilot study, our aim was to evaluate the ability of six primer sets, targeting 12S rRNA (AcMDB07; MiFish; Tele04) or 16S rRNA (Fish16S; Fish16SFD; Vert16S) loci, to detect fish species in the Mediterranean Sea using a metabarcoding approach. We also assessed the influence of sampling depth and filter pore size (0.45 µm <em>versus</em> 5 µm filters). To achieve this, we developed a novel sampling strategy allowing simultaneous surface and bottom filtration of large water volumes along on-site the same transect. We found that 16S rRNA primer sets enabled more fish taxa to be detected across each taxonomic level. The best combination was Fish16S/Vert16S/AcMDB07, which recovered 95% of the 97 fish species detected in our study. There were highly significant differences in species composition between surface and bottom samples. Filters of 0.45 µm led to the detection of significantly more fish species. Therefore, to maximize fish detection in the studied area, we recommend to filter both surface and bottom waters through 0.45 µm filters and to use a combination of these three primer sets.</p>
Monitoring of neoadjuvant chemotherapy through time domain diffuse optics: Breast tissue composition changes and collagen discriminative potential
<p>This dataset serves as a comprehensive resource containing the raw data, analyses, and various tools utilized to produce the findings that are presented in our paper titled ‘<strong>Monitoring of neoadjuvant chemotherapy through time domain diffuse optics: breast tissue composition changes and collagen discriminative potential</strong>’. </p> <p>The aim of this clinical study is to test broad spectral range (635-1060 nm) time domain diffuse optical spectroscopy to monitor the response of breast cancer patients to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Preliminary results from patients on changes in hemoglobin, water, lipids, collagen concentrations, and scattering parameters due to the therapy are presented. In these initial results, we hypothesize that collagen could be a possible biomarker to distinguish complete and partial responders.</p>

Remote camera monitoring and arboreal trapping data for a reintroduced population of red-tailed phascogales (Phascogale calura)
<p>Effective monitoring methods are required to evaluate the success of wildlife reintroduction programs. To improve the threat status of the Vulnerable red-tailed phascogale (<em>Phascogale calura</em>), the Australian Wildlife Conservancy reintroduced the species to a fenced reserve at Mt. Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary. After trialing a variety of post-release monitoring methods, remote camera monitoring and arboreal trapping with an extensive period of pre-luring provided the most information with which to evaluate the success of the reintroduction. To date, reintroduced red-tailed phascogales have increased in both occupancy and population size following releases which began at Mt. Gibson in 2017. Other managers of red-tailed phascogale populations may find the described methods useful, particularly in the context of multi-species reintroductions where trap saturation can reduce capture rates of smaller species, such as phascogales.</p>

Data from: Early detection of human impacts using acoustic monitoring: an example with forest elephants
<p>The impacts of human activities and climate change on animal populations often take considerable time before they are reflected in typical measures of population health such as population size, demography, and landscape use. Earlier detection of such impacts could enhance the effectiveness of conservation strategies, particularly for species with slow population growth. Passive acoustic monitoring is increasingly used to estimate occupancy and population size, but this tool can also monitor subtle shifts in behavior that might be early indicators of changing impacts. Here we use data from an acoustic grid, monitoring 1250 km<sup>2</sup> of forest in the northern Republic of Congo, to study how forest elephants (<em>Loxodonta cyclotis</em>) assess the risk of poaching across a landscape that includes a national park as well as active and inactive logging concessions. By quantifying emerging patterns of behavior at the population level, arising from individual-based decisions, we gain an understanding of how elephants perceive their landscape along an axis of human disturbance. Forest elephants in relatively undisturbed forests are active nearly equally day and night. However, they become more nocturnal when exposed to a perceived risk such as poaching. We assessed elephant perception of risk by monitoring changes in the likelihood of nocturnal activity relative to differing levels of human activity. We show that logging is perceived to be a risk on short-time and small spatial scales but with little effect on animal density. However, risk avoidance persisted in areas with relatively easy access to poachers and in more open habitats where poaching has historically been concentrated. Increased nocturnal activity is a common response in many animals to human intrusion on the landscape. Provided a species is acoustically active, passive acoustic monitoring can measure changes in human impact at the early stages of such change, informing management priorities.</p>

Austrian Science Fund (FWF) Open Access Compliance Monitoring 2017
<p><strong>I. Executive summary</strong></p> <p>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. Since 1 January 2016, open access has been mandatory for all peer-reviewed publications listed in final reports on FWF-funded projects. 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.</p> <p>All principal investigators in FWF-funded projects are obliged to submit a final report within three months of completing their projects. In 2017 all in all 608 final reports were submitted to the FWF, 42 out of them couldn't report publications by now.</p> <p>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 on the basis of final project reports submitted in the year 2017.</p> <p>Main findings:</p> <ul> <li>A total of 8.398 publications were listed in the final project reports submitted in 2017.</li> <li>Of those publications, 6.439 were conclusively identified as peer-reviewed.</li> <li>Regarding compliance with the FWF's Open Access Policy, the report shows that 90% of the peer-reviewed publications that arose from submitted final reports of FWF projects in 2017 are openly accessible (2015: 83%, 2016: 92%).</li> <li>The most frequently chosen option is hybrid open access (41%). Since last year's report, the use of green open access has declined by 5% green open access and by 2 % gold open access. Other open access has increased by 4%, and hybrid open access by 1%.</li> <li>The majority of peer-reviewed publications submitted are journal articles, 91% of which are openly accessible.</li> <li>The lowest rate of compliance with the FWF's Open Access Policy can be found in editions, contributions to edited volumes and monographs (66%) an increase by 8% since last year's report.</li> <li>Although open access is not compulsory, 51% of non peer-reviewed publications are freely available through the internet.</li> <li>The absolute number of publications listed in final reports in 2017 includes 715 publications that are mentioned several times in different projects; however, those repetitions do not ultimately affect the relative share of open access publications (90%).</li> <li>56% of all peer-reviewed publications without open access originate from the "Special Research Programmes" (SFB). Since these reserach networks have a long duration, the open access policy of the FWF often does not yet apply to them.</li> </ul> <p><strong>II. Bias</strong></p> <p>All publications were entered in the FWF’s database manually and with the utmost care when the final project reports were received. Nevertheless, it is not possible to rule out minor errors entirely. Moreover, some systematic problems need to be solved in the future; the FWF is currently preparing to implement a research information system in which FWF-funded researchers will be able to enter and update their research data on an ongoing basis.</p> <ul> <li>Due to the amount of data involved, it was not possible to check the current open access status of all publications twice. The last check was performed in January 2018.</li> <li>In some cases, the embargo period may have expired after submission, and publications labelled "Other open access" in the FWF’s database may now be accessible through green open access.</li> </ul> <p>Whenever the status "peer-reviewed" could not be clearly identified according to FWF guidelines, the publications were classified as non peer-reviewed.</p>
