Find research datasets worth reusing

Supplementary Materials include results of simulation experiments to investigate the impact of phylogenetic regression with model violations.

Modern comparative biology owes much to phylogenetic regression. At its conception, this technique sparked a revolution that armed biologists with phylogenetic comparative methods (PCMs) for disentangling evolutionary correlations from those arising from hierarchical phylogenetic relationships. Over the past few decades, the phylogenetic regression framework has become a paradigm of modern comparative biology that has been widely embraced as a remedy for shared ancestry. However, recent evidence has sown doubt over the efficacy of phylogenetic regression, and PCMs more generally, with the suggestion that many of these methods fail to provide an adequate defense against unreplicated evolution—the primary justification for using them in the first place. Importantly, some of the most compelling examples of biological innovation in nature result from abrupt lineage-specific evolutionary shifts, which current regression models are largely ill-equipped to deal with. Here we explore a solution to this problem by applying robust linear regression to comparative trait data. We formally introduce robust phylogenetic regression to the PCM toolkit with linear estimators that are less sensitive to model violations than the standard least-squares estimator, while still retaining high power to detect true trait associations. Our analyses also highlight an ingenuity of the original algorithm for phylogenetic regression based on independent contrasts, whereby robust estimators are particularly effective. Collectively, we find that robust estimators hold promise for improving tests of trait associations and offer a path forward in scenarios where classical approaches may fail. Our study joins recent arguments for increased vigilance against unreplicated evolution and a better understanding of evolutionary model performance in challenging–yet biologically important–settings.

Data from: Mitonuclear interactions impact aerobic metabolism in hybrids and may explain mitonuclear discordance in young, naturally hybridizing bird lineages

Understanding genetic incompatibilities and genetic introgression between incipient species are major goals in evolutionary biology. Mitochondrial genes evolve rapidly and exist in dense gene networks with coevolved nuclear genes, suggesting that mitochondrial respiration may be particularly susceptible to disruption in hybrid organisms. Mitonuclear interactions have been demonstrated to contribute to hybrid dysfunction between deeply divergent taxa crossed in the laboratory, but there are few empirical examples of mitonuclear interactions between younger lineages that naturally hybridise. Here we use controlled hybrid crosses and high resolution respirometry to provide the first experimental evidence in a bird that inter-lineage mitonuclear interactions impact mitochondrial aerobic metabolism. Specifically, respiration capacity of the two mitodiscordant backcrosses (with mismatched mito-nuclear combinations) differ from one another, although they do not differ significantly from the parental groups or mitoconcordant backcrosses as we would expect of mitonuclear disruptions. In the wild hybrid zone between these subspecies the mitochondrial cline centre is shifted west of the nuclear cline centre, which is consistent with the direction of our experimental results. Our results therefore demonstrate asymmetric mitonuclear interactions that impact the capacity of cellular mitochondrial respiration and may help to explain the geographic discordance between mitochondrial and nuclear genomes observed in the wild.

Sedimentary DNA of a human‐impacted lake in Western Canada (Cultus Lake) reveals changes in micro‐eukaryotic diversity over the past ~200 years

Although the use of genetic analyses of sedimentary DNA to track changes in biodiversity has increased over the last decade, questions remain as to how well DNA captures past ecological conditions. Even less is known about how extracellular and intracellular DNA are archived in lake sediments and whether the two fractions yield similar information. Here we characterized the changes of micro‐eukaryotic communities over the past ~200 years in Cultus Lake (British Columbia, Canada), for which a rich body of limnological data and a pre‐existing multi‐proxy paleolimnological study exist. We generated and analyzed 18S rRNA gene amplicons and found that extracellular and intracellular DNA provided different insights, with the preservation of extracellular DNA compromised in sediments older than ~30 years. Principal Coordinates and indicator species analyses based on intracellular DNA showed that changes in micro‐eukaryotic diversity occurred at similar time periods as those identified with the classical paleolimnological study. For instance, decreases of Opisthokonta amplicons occurred during years with elevated numbers of sockeye salmon spawners, which might be associated with an increase of herbivory by juvenile sockeye salmon. Furthermore, two diatom species identified morphologically exhibited similar temporal dynamics to two diatom taxa identified genetically, suggesting that sedimentary DNA can track past diatom species changes as well as micro‐eukaryotic community changes. Overall, our study provides insights into the use of extracellular and intracellular DNA in sedimentary records and showed that sedimentary DNA enriches our understanding of micro‐eukaryotic community changes over centennial time scales.

Data from: Fake news? The impact of information mismatch in mating behaviour

Multiple cues are often used for mate choice in complex environments, potentially entailing mismatches between different sources of information. We address the consequences thereof for receivers using the spider mite Tetranychus urticae, in which virgin females are highly valuable mates compared to mated females, given first male sperm precedence. Accordingly, males prefer virgins and distinguish them using cues from the females and/or that are present on the substrate. Whereas the former are more reliable, the latter may allow for a faster or more long-distance response. However, there can be mismatched information between cues as females move and/or mate. Here, we tested the consequences thereof by exposing males to mated or virgin females on patches previously impregnated with cues deposited by females of either mating status. Male mating attempts were solely affected by substrate cues while female acceptance and the number of mating events were independently affected by both cues. Copulation duration, in contrast, depended mainly on the mating status of the female, with the number of copulations and the total time spent mating being intermediate in environments with mismatched information. Ultimately, male survival costs mirrored male investment in mating. These results suggest that, in environments with mismatched information, the substrate cues left by females are instrumental for males to find their mates, but they can also lead to males paying survival costs without the associated benefit of mating effectively, or suffering reduced costs at the expense of losing effective mating opportunities. The benefit of using multiple cues will then hinge upon the frequency of information mismatch, which itself should vary with the dynamics of populations.

Impact of background input on memory consolidation in In-Vitro neural networks

Memory consolidation is a complex process, that can be divided into two stages: first, memories are temporary stored in hippocampus and in the second stage, repeated replay slowly transfers memories to the neo-cortex for long-term consolidation. This 2nd stage occurs during slow wave sleep, a phase characterized in the cortex by low cholinergic tone and low afferent input. A recent in-vitro study showed that high cholinergic tone hampers memory consolidation, probably due to lowered network excitability (defined as the mean network response to one neuron spiking). Here we investigate whether low background input contributes to memory consolidation. We used cortical neuronal networks on multi electrode arrays to study memory. When input deprived, these networks develop an activity-connectivity balance. Focal stimuli initially disrupt the existing balance, inducing connectivity changes. When repeated, this effect fades and the response becomes part of spontaneous patterns (memory formation). Application of the same stimulus hours later does not affect connectivity indicating that memory was consolidated. We applied five periods (10 min each) of focal electrical stimulation at different electrodes (A B A), separated by 1 hour of spontaneous activity . Some cultures were transfected to express channelrhopsins (ChR2) enabling global optogenetic background stimulation. We used 12 control, 15 ChR2 cultures with no background input and 8 ChR2 cultures with superimposed random optogenetic stimulation during electrical stimulation periods (fmean=5 Hz) to mimic afferent input. Background stimulation acutely reduced network excitability during stimulation without persisting effects after cessation. ChR2 cultures showed significantly more dispersed spiking outside network bursts, and network excitability tended to be lower than in control cultures. Stimulation at electrodes A and B induced memory traces in control cultures. Return to electrode A did not further affect connectivity, showing that memory trace A had been consolidated. Background stimulation impeded the formation of memory traces following electrical stimulation at either electrode. ChR2 expression alone also obstructed memorization. These findings confirm the importance of low background afferent input for memory consolidation. The presence of background afferent inputs reduced network excitability, similar to high cholinergic tone. This leads to the conclusion that sufficient network excitability is crucial for memory consolidation, and high network excitability may be a critical feature of slow wave sleep that makes it more suitable for memory consolidation than the awake state.

Southern Ocean's circulation impact on the marine carbon cycle

In the context of past and present climate change, the Southern Ocean (SO) has been identified as a crucial region modulating the concentration of atmospheric CO2. The sustained upwelling of carbon-rich deep waters and inefficient nutrient utilisation at the surface of SO leads to an outgassing of natural CO2, while anthropogenic CO2 is entrained to depth during the formation of Antarctic Bottom water (AABW), Antarctic intermediate water (AAIW) and sub-Antarctic mode water (SAMW). Changes to the SO circulation resulting from both dynamic and buoyancy forcing can alter the rate of upwelling as well as formation and subsequent transport of AABW, AAIW and SAMW, thus impacting the air-sea CO2 exchange in SO. Models of all complexity robustly show that stronger southern hemispheric (SH) westerlies enhance the SO upwelling, thus leading to stronger natural CO2 outgassing, with a sensitivity of ∼0.13 GtC/yr for a 10% increase in SH westerly windstress. While the impact of changes in the position of the SH westerly winds was previously unclear, recent simulations with high-resolution ocean/sea-ice/carbon cycle models show that a poleward shift of the SH westerlies also enhances natural CO2 outgassing with a sensitivity of ∼0.08GtC/yr for a 5• poleward shift. While enhanced AABW transport reduces deep ocean natural DIC concentration and increases surface natural DIC concentration, it acts on a centennial timescale. Future work should better constrain both the natural and anthropogenic carbon cycle response to changes in AABW and the compound impacts of dynamic and buoyancy changes on the SO marine carbon cycle.

Dataset related to the article "Binary classification of copy number alteration profiles in liquid biopsy with potential clinical impact in advanced NSCLC"

This record contains original data used in the article "Binary classification of copy number alteration profiles in liquid biopsy with potential clinical impact in advanced NSCLC" to develop a linear support vector machine (SVM) classifier to predict chromosomal instability.   We retrospectively evaluated the results of plasma NGS analysis performed at our Institution by using the AVENIO ctDNA Expanded Kit, a panel of 77 genes, which detects the major classes of genetic alterations. Binary classification, into “stable” (SCP) or “unstable” (UCP) chromosomal profiles, was initially performed by visual inspection of individual CNV alteration profiles by two independent professionals of our group. Then we decided to implement a support vector machine (SVM) classifier to automatically classify CNV profiles as SCP or UCP, beyond operators’ experience. We considered the segmented log2 ratios (.cns) files provided by the CNV kit software and computed three features (Segments, Size, Chromosomes).  An alteration (“occurrence of instability”) in the CNV profile was defined each time we found a DNA segment of any size with absolute value of the log2 copy ratio exceeding a fixed cut-off. Two different cut-off values on log2 copy ratio were examined: 0.1 and 0.2. Once the cut-off was defined, three features were considered as covariates in the SVM classifier: 1) number of altered segments (Segments), 2) total length of altered regions (Size) and 3) number of affected chromosomes (Chromosomes). The “dataset_0.1.txt” and “dataset_0.2.txt” files are the original data matrices obtained by considering a cut-off of 0.1 and 0.2, respectively, on the absolute value of the log2 copy ratio. Rows represent available samples in our study (n=177). Columns contain the following variables: anonymized sample IDs (Sample), the class, “stable” or “unstable”, as assigned by two independent professionals of our group (Class), the corresponding binary label (Label: 0 for “stable”, 1 for “unstable”), the three features used as covariates in the SVM classifier and computed as described above (Segments, Size, Chromosomes).
