Asymmetric regulation of caterpillar development by changes in photoperiod

<div>Many insects possess the plastic ability to either develop directly to adulthood, or enter diapause and postpone reproduction until the next year, depending on environmental cues (primarily photoperiod) that signal the amount of time remaining until the end of the growth season. These two alternative pathways often differ in co-adapted life history traits, e.g. with slower development and larger size in individuals headed for diapause. The developmental timing of these differences may be of adaptive importance: if traits diverge early, the potential for phenotypic differences between the pathways is greater, whereas if traits diverge late, the risk may be lower of expressing a maladaptive phenotype if the selective environment changes during development. Here we explore the effects of changes in photoperiodic information during life on pupal diapause and associated life history traits in the butterfly Pararge aegeria. We find that both pupal diapause and larval development rate are asymmetrically regulated: while exposure to long days late in life (regardless of earlier experiences) was sufficient to produce non-diapause development and accelerate larval development accordingly, more prolonged exposure to short days was required to induce diapause and slow down pre-diapause larval development. While the two developmental pathways diverged early in development, development rates could be partially reversed by altered environmental cues. Meanwhile, pathway differences in body size were more inflexible, despite emerging late in development. These results show how several traits may be shaped by the same environmental cue (photoperiod), but along subtly different ontogenies, into an integrated phenotype.</div>

Maternal food restriction during pregnancy affects offspring development and swimming performance in a placental live-bearing fish

How pregnant mothers allocate limited resources to different biological functions such as maintenance, somatic growth, and reproduction can have profound implications for early life development and survival of offspring. Here we examined the effects of maternal food restriction during pregnancy on offspring in the matrotrophic (i.e. mother-nourishment throughout gestation) live-bearing fish species Phalloptychus januarius (Poeciliidae). We fed pregnant females either with a 'low-food' or 'high-food' ration for six weeks and quantified the consequences for offspring size and body fat at birth and one week after birth. We further measured fast-start escape performance of offspring at birth, as well as swimming kinematics during prey capture at zero, two, and seven days after birth. We found that the length of maternal food restriction during pregnancy negatively affected offspring dry mass and lean dry mass at birth, as well as body fat gain during the first week after birth. Moreover, it impacted the locomotor performance of offspring during prey capture at, and during the first week after, birth. We did not observe an effect of food restriction on fast-start escape performance of offspring. Our study suggests that matrotrophic poeciliid fish are maladapted to unpredictably fluctuating resource environments, because sudden reductions in maternal food availability during pregnancy result in smaller offspring with slower postnatal body fat gain and an inhibition of postnatal improving swimming skills during feeding, potentially leading to lower competitive abilities after birth.

Supplementary materials for article: Ambient Intelligence System Enabling People With Blindness to Develop Electrotechnical Components and Their Drivers

Supplementary materials (Appendix E) for the article: Ambient Intelligence System Enabling People With Blindness to Develop Electrotechnical Components and Their Drivers Abstract: Along with the development of new assistive technologies, including ambient intelligence (AmI) environments, new job opportunities are created for people with blindness or visual impairment. Whereas research on software development for people with blindness has been conducted since the 1960s, the design and development of electrotechnical equipment still lacks any way to compensate for the disability which would enable people with blindness to perform even the activities pertaining to this field. This article aims to introduce these new technological procedures enabling the compensation of the disability of people with blindness when designing and developing electrotechnical components (or prototypes) and their drivers by using the AmI system RUDO modules and other tools. This includes the modules enabling measuring electrotechnical quantities, tracing of oscilloscope curves, and ensuring a unified user interface for programming and operation of the devices connected. Other approaches are introduced herein that focused on the production of mechanical components for device construction. This article also contains an illustrative video of practical use of these technological procedures by a person with blindness. To assess the usability of the designed technological procedures to the work of a designer with blindness and one without visual impairment, the cognitive walkthrough method was used. The main contribution of this article is to broaden the knowledge base by the principles of involving people with blindness in the development and construction of electrotechnical components (or prototypes). These new possibilities can be used practically, for instance, in computer education, which can offer new curricula for visually impaired students and focused on more practical issues where hardware and software approaches meet. Hudec, M., & Smutny, Z. (2022). Ambient Intelligence System Enabling People With Blindness to Develop Electrotechnical Components and Their Drivers. IEEE Access, 10, 8539-8565. <a href="https://doi.org/10.1109/ACCESS.2022.3144109">https://doi.org/10.1109/ACCESS.2022.3144109</a>   Appendix E - Description of the illustrative video The video is divided into two parts. Part 1: The way of connecting electrical circuits by a person with blindness without the need of assistance. The example includes the connection of a DC/DC converter to a miniature screw terminal block and testing its functionality in a designed device. DC/DC converter is connected into miniature screw terminal block, commonly available in electrotechnical equipment stores. The DC/DC converter has six contacts, which means that in two cases two contacts are connected at the same time to one socket. After connecting the DC/DC converter, the laboratory power supply is switched on to keep the device energized. Person with blindness measures the voltage at the input and also at the output of the DC/DC converter. This will ensure that it works correctly in the given connection. A power switcher is connected to the constructed device. In our case, the power switcher should switch the power supply of the appliances to either photovoltaics or the mains. The device with DC / DC converter is connected to the LAN and via the second wire is connected to the power switcher, i.e.: <ul> <li>the software on the home server will control this device with a DC/DC converter via LAN,</li> <li>a device with a DC/DC converter will command the power switcher to switch the power current.</li> </ul> The power switcher is turned on and the person with blindness goes to the computer, where he runs a test program to test the entire connection. The test program taps the relay three times and waits a while. The test program repeats this sequence until it is interrupted. In the end, the contacts of the power relay were measured with an audible short-circuit meter, which always started to emit a whistling tone when the state was switched on. This debugged the functionality of the hardware and its data connection to the home server. Part 2: Preparation of mechanical components for device construction. The example includes cutting a board made of pertinax material on miter saw and its further modification. This modification involves grinding the edge of the cut board and drilling holes for further assembly of the board using a steel stencil and a meter marked in Braille. Finally, two miniature screw terminal blocks can be glued to the board prepared in this way.

A predictive flight-altitude model for avoiding future conflicts between an emblematic raptor and wind energy development in the Swiss Alps

Deployment of wind energy is proposed as a mechanism to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Yet, wind energy and large birds, notably soaring raptors, both depend on suitable wind conditions. Conflicts in airspace use may thus arise between wind energy development and wildlife protection due to the risks of collisions of birds with the blades of wind turbines. Using locations of GPS-tagged bearded vultures, a rare scavenging raptor reintroduced into the Alps, we built a spatially-explicit model to predict potential areas of conflict with future wind turbines deployments in the Swiss Alps. We modelled the probability of bearded vultures flying within or below the rotor-swept zone of wind turbines as a function of wind and environmental conditions, including food supply (presence of wild ungulates). Flight activity at potential risk of collision was generally high, concentrating on south-exposed mountainsides, especially in areas where ibex carcasses have a high occurrence probability, with critical areas covering vast expanses throughout the Swiss Alps. Our model provides a spatially-explicit decision tool that will guide authorities and energy companies for planning the deployment of wind farms in a proactive manner to reduce risk to emblematic Alpine wildlife.

No impact of biocontrol agent's predation cues on development time or size of surviving Aedes albopictus under optimal nutritional availability

Cyclopoid copepods have been applied successfully to limit populations of highly invasive Aedes albopictus mosquitoes that can transmit diseases of public health importance. However, there is concern that changes in certain mosquito traits, induced by exposure to copepod predation, might increase the risk of disease transmission. In this study, third instar Ae. albopictus larvae, hereafter referred to as "focal individuals", were exposed to Megacyclops viridis predator cues associated with both consumption of newly-hatched mosquito larvae and attacks on focal individuals. The number of newly-hatched larvae surrounding each focal larva was held constant to control for density effects on size, and the focal individual's day of pupation and wing length were recorded for each replicate. Exposing late instar Ae. albopictus to predation decreased their chances of surviving to adulthood, and three focal larvae that died in the predator treatment showed signs of melanization, indicative of wounding. Among surviving focal Ae. albopictus, no significant difference in either pupation day or wing length was observed due to copepod predation. The absence of a significant sublethal impact from M. viridis copepod predation on surviving later-stage larvae in this analysis supports the use of M. viridis as a biocontrol agent against Ae. albopictus.

Algal growth, bumblebee colony and individual development, bee behavior and yield of oilseed rape under a trophic cascade and extreme weather

Trophic cascades in the aquatic environment constitute important mechanisms for improving water quality. However, how the presence or non-presence of these trophic cascades may affect interactions across the aquatic-terrestrial interface remains poorly investigated. Pollinators such as bees may be especially vulnerable to changes in water resource quality induced by trophic cascades. Understanding how aquatic trophic cascades affect bees and pollination becomes even more pressing under ongoing climate change due to increased physiological demands for water under extreme weather events.In a novel field experiment combining terrestrial and aquatic mesocosms, we aimed to test how changes in water quality induced by an aquatic trophic cascade affected foraging and growth of bumblebee colonies as well as foraging of solitary bees. While we expected fish predation to reduce top-down control of zooplankton on phytoplankton and thereby, indirectly, induce increased growth of toxic cyanobacteria, we instead found the trophic cascade to induce the formation of algal surface mats that bumblebees used to access water under a severe heat wave and drought. This access to water was associated with higher bumblebee colony reproductive success, growth and weight compared to control colonies with no trophic cascade induced (and hence no algal surface mats). We also found marginal but non-significant effects on oilseed rape yield, but surprisingly with higher yields in the control treatment where bumblebees could not access water.Our results provide new insights on how aquatic trophic cascades can lead to unpredicted ecological interactions across the aquatic-terrestrial interface facilitated by climate change. Our study highlights the importance of water for the fitness of terrestrial ecosystem service providers under altered environmental conditions.

Dissociable Multi-scale Patterns of Development in Personalized Brain Networks

The brain is organized into networks at multiple resolutions, or scales, yet studies of functional network development typically focus on a single scale. Here, we derived personalized functional networks across 29 scales in a large sample of youths (n=693, ages 8-23 years) to identify multi-scale patterns of network re-organization related to neurocognitive development. We found that developmental shifts in inter-network coupling systematically adhered to and strengthened a functional hierarchy of cortical organization. Furthermore, we observed that scale-dependent effects were present in lower-order, unimodal networks, but not higher-order, transmodal networks. Finally, we found that network maturation had clear behavioral relevance: the development of coupling in unimodal and transmodal networks are dissociably related to the emergence of executive function. These results demonstrate that the development of functional brain networks align with and refine a hierarchy linked to cognition

Wildfire as a natural stressor and its effect on female phenotype and ornament development

Controlled low-intensity fires are commonly used in ecosystem management for both habitat restoration and wildfire management. Animals in those ecosystems may respond to fire by shifting energy allocation away from reproduction and growth, and toward maintenance. Stress-induced shifts in energy allocation may affect expression of condition-dependent sexual signals, which are sensitive to energetic and physiological trade-offs mediated by glucocorticoids. Here, we examine the effect of fire on ornament expression, corticosterone, and other phenotypic traits in a population of striped plateau lizards, Sceloporus virgatus, affected by the Horseshoe 2 Fire in the Chiricahua Mountains, Arizona, USA. The condition-dependent female ornament was significantly smaller the month following the fire than two years prior, and was both smaller and less orange on the burned site relative to a nearby unburned site. These patterns are similar to those found in a previous experimental study examining the response of the ornament to corticosterone manipulations. Yet, in the current study, corticosterone levels were not different in lizards on the burned and unburned sites. Perhaps glucocorticoid levels already returned to baseline, or do not adequately track environmental change. Females tended to be smaller and lighter on the burned site than the unburned site, however the year after the fire, body condition was higher for females on the burned site, indicating a rapid recovery and potential long-term benefits in response to low-intensity fires in this fire-adapted ecosystem. We found that the lizards adjusted energy allocation away from sexual signaling and growth in response to low-intensity fires. As fires and fire management are likely to increase in response to changing fire regimes across the globe, it will be important to consider behavioral and physiological responses of impacted species, as well as population, community, and ecosystem level responses.

Global maps of soil water characteristics parameters developed using the random forest in a Covariate-based GeoTransfer Functions (CoGTF) framework at 1 km resolution

The global soil water characteristics parameters (α, n, θr, and θs) maps based on van Genuchten (vG) model at 1 km resolution was developed by harnessing the technological advances in machine learning and availability of remotely sensed surrogate information such as terrain, climate, vegetation, and soil covariates. We merge concepts of predictive soil mapping with a large data set of vG parameters and local information (soil, vegetation, climate) into "Covariate-based GeoTransfer Functions'' (CoGTFs) to generate global estimates of vG  parameters (to highlight the impact of Geo-referenced covariates including various remote sensing maps, we use the term Geotransfer Function GTF and not pedotransfer function PTF; in the latter case, typically only soil properties are used to predict vG parameters). The vG parameters (α, n, θr, and θs)  dataset is provided in GeoTIFF format. A total of 16 files that represent different soil depths (0, 30, 60, and 100 cm) are provided for each parameter. <table> <caption>Description of vG parameters and their units</caption> <tbody> <tr> <td>vG Parameters</td> <td>Description</td> <td>units</td> </tr> <tr> <td>α</td> <td>Inverse air entry pressure</td> <td>Log10α (m-1)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>n</td> <td>Shape parameter</td> <td>Log10n (dimensionless)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>θr</td> <td>Residual water content</td> <td>m3/m3</td> </tr> <tr> <td>θs</td> <td>Saturated water content</td> <td>m3/m3</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>   The Global vG training dataset used for this study is available here: <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5547338">10.5281/zenodo.5547338</a> For more details / to cite this dataset please use: <ul> <li>Gupta, S., Papritz, A., Lehmann, P., Hengl, T., Bonetti, S., & Or, D.
