SUVfdg: a standard-uptake-value (SUV) body habitus normalizer specific to fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in humans
<p>In PET, several different Standard Uptake Value (SUV) metrics have been proposed utilizing different normalizers in an attempt to take into consideration the patient to patient differences in radionuclide uptake due to differences in body habitus (body weight, surface area, lean body mass). These normalizers are to some extent aribitrary in that they are selected from the list of proposed body habitus metrics, none of which necessarily describes well the distribution volume into which a given radionuclide labeled compound distributes with the body. </p> <p>In this work we propose a new body habitus normalizer, SUV<sub>fdg</sub>, that is specific to the tracer <sup>18</sup>F-FDG and which like previously proposed SUV normalizers is a simple function of a patient's height and weight. Derivation of this metric assumed that absolute normal-liver FDG uptake rate is not itself a function of body habitus (i.e. is not correlated with height, weight, etc). The SUV<sub>fdg</sub> metric was tested in an independent cohort and shown to have little to no correlation with body habitus measures in normal liver, spleen and blood. When applied to normal brain uptake, it was shown to vary as a function of patient age.</p>

Many ways to make darker flies: Intra- and inter-specific variation in Drosophila body pigmentation components
Body pigmentation is an evolutionarily diversified and ecologically relevant trait with substantial variation within and between species, and important roles in animal survival and reproduction. Insect pigmentation, in particular, provides some of the most compelling examples of adaptive evolution, including its ecological significance and genetic bases. Pigmentation includes multiple aspects of color and color pattern that may vary more or less independently, and can be under different selective pressures. We decompose Drosophila thorax and abdominal pigmentation, a valuable eco-evo-devo model, into distinct measurable traits related to color and color pattern. We investigate intra- and inter-specific variation for those traits, and assess its different sources. For each body part, we measured overall darkness, as well as four other pigmentation properties distinguishing between background color and color of the darker pattern elements that decorate each body part. By focusing on two standard D. melanogaster laboratory populations, we show that pigmentation components vary and co-vary in distinct manners depending on sex, genetic background, and temperature during development. Studying three natural populations of D. melanogaster along a latitudinal cline and five other Drosophila species, we then show that evolution of lighter or darker bodies can be achieved by changing distinct component traits. Our results paint a much more complex picture of body pigmentation variation than previous studies could uncover, including patterns of sexual dimorphism, thermal plasticity, and inter-specific diversity. These findings underscore the value of detailed quantitative phenotyping and analysis of different sources of variation for a better understanding of phenotypic variation and diversification, and the ecological pressures and genetic mechanisms underlying them.
The upper canines of the male Sulawesi Babirusa grow upwards through the snout and continue to grow in a backward-curving spiral. They are too brittle and shallow rooted to be used in fighting and theirfunction, if any, is unknown. Until recently, all babirusas were classified as a single species. The genus has now been split into at least three species, based on features of their skulls and teeth and the amount of hair on their bodies. The Sulawest Babirusa has nearly naked skin. The name Babyrousa celebensis specifically refers to animals from north Sulawesi and the taxonomic identity of babirusas onthe rest of the island remains undecided. Unlike other pig species, babirusas do not have noses adapted for rooting. Babyrousa celebensis Lore Lindu National Park, Sulawesi. Photo: Berndt Fischer/ photolibrary.com in Suidae

Creating Site Specific Synthetic ML Training Datasets for Conservation: Sample Synthetic Training Dataset [Resized]
<p>These files support the paper "Creating Site Specific Synthetic Machine Learning Training Datasets for Conservation" by providing a sample of the synthetic data generated using the described methodology. Additionally, a sample of this dataset could and has been used to train different image classifier machine learning models. </p> <p>The provided ZIP file contains four folders of synthetic training data JPEG images, separated by species, then background-type within the subsequent sub-folders. All of these folders and sub-folders are clearly labeled. The folder marked "Blank Backgrounds" is the only folder with images that DO NOT contain any herpetofauna. Instead, this folder consists of only background images, which were used to train an image classifier model to recognize the presence of (or lack there-of) a herpetofauna specimen within an image. </p> <p><strong>*NOTE - These images were resized for the purposes of efficient upload to Github//Zenodo.

Associations of self-compassion with shame, guilt, and training motivation after sport-specific daily stress – a smartphone study
<p>By applying a diary study design, we investigated the role of selfcompassion during sport-specific daily stress (SSDS) with regard to the negative self-conscious emotions of shame and guilt and training motivation. We hypothesised that self-compassion would protect athletes from certain self-conscious emotions, namely shame, after SSDS. We also predicted that self-compassion would either increase or decrease the relationship between stress and motivation. Ninety-six athletes (Mage = 22.14, SD = 5.92) reported their level of self-compassion and evaluated their trainings and/or competitions over three weeks in terms of experienced stress, guilt, shame and subsequent training motivation on their smartphones. Multilevel analyses showed that SSDS was associated with more negative self-conscious emotions and reduced training motivation. Moreover, self-compassion weakened the effect of SSDS on shame and was not correlated with training motivation. We discuss the results with regard to sport psychology practice and future research.</p>

Sex-specific strategies of nutrient resorption associated with leaf economics in Populus euphratica
<p><span>There are differences between sexes in physiological and functional traits and possibly in nutrient resorption, particularly in nutrient-poor environments. However, little is known about the extent of nutrient resorption from fine stems and fine roots, and how nutrient resorption is related to leaf economics in the males and females of dioecious trees.</span></p> <p><span>We investigated nutrient resorption of different organs and explored whether nutrient resorption is associated with nutrient conservation traits of leaves (e.g. leaf thickness, leaf mass per area, LMA) in <em>Populus euphratica</em> females and males in four natural forests along the Tarim River, China.</span></p> <p><span>Both female and male leaves had the highest N resorption efficiency (NRE), then stems and roots last. We found sexual dimorphism in leaf nutrient resorption at Shaya, Luntai, and Yuli forest sites, where <em>P. euphratica</em> males had higher leaf NRE than females, whereas females had a higher leaf P resorption efficiency (PRE). Moreover, the different nutrient resorption strategies were related to leaf economics. <em>P. euphratica</em> males possess a conservation strategy with a higher leaf thickness, LMA, and leaf vein density, which positively correlated with leaf NRE, while females with higher leaf PRE resorbed disproportionately more P for the reproductive investment.</span></p> <p><span><em>P. euphratica</em> males possess a conservation strategy with higher leaf NRE, while females have higher leaf PRE for reproductive investment. Due to sexual spatial segregation across environmental gradients, dioecious plants are especially vulnerable to future climate change. The differences in nutrient uptake and utilization strategies between females and males may result in a situation where one sex is more prone to future climate change than the other one. Such sex-specific nutrient resorption strategies are associated with leaf economics. The present study deepens our understanding of the plant nutrient balance and adaptation strategies under climate change.</span></p>
Assessment of compound-specific fatty acid d13C and d2H values to track fish residency and mobility in a small subalpine catchment
<p><span>Methods for identifying origin, movement, and foraging areas of animals are essential for understanding ecosystem connectivity, nutrient flows, and other ecological processes. Telemetric methods can provide detailed spatial coverage but are limited to minimum body size of specimen for tagging. In recent years, stable isotopes have been increasingly used to track animal migration by linking geophysical isotope landscapes called "isoscapes". However, compared to telemetric methods, the spatial resolution of bulk stable isotopes is low.</span></p> <p><span>Here we examined a novel approach by evaluating the use of compound-specific hydrogen and carbon stable isotopes of fatty acids (δ</span><sup><span>2</span></sup><span>H<sub>FA</sub> and </span><span>δ<sup>13</sup></span><span>C<sub>FA</sub>) from liver, muscle, brain, and eye tissues for identifying site-specificity of fish from a sub-alpine river catchment. We analysed 208 fish (European bullhead, rainbow trout, and brown trout) collected in 2016 and 2018 at 15 different sites.</span></p> <p><span>δ<sup>13</sup></span><span>C<sub>FA</sub> values of these fish tissues correlated more amongst each other than those of </span><span><span>δ</span><sup><span>2</span></sup><span>H<sub>FA</sub></span> values. Both </span><span><span>δ</span><sup><span>2</span></sup><span>H<sub>FA</sub></span> and </span><span><span>δ<sup>13</sup></span><span>C<sub>FA</sub></span> values showed tissue-dependent isotopic fractionation, while fish taxa had only small effects. The highest site-specificity was for </span><span>δ<sup>13</sup></span><span>C<sub>DHA</sub> values, while the </span><span>δ<sup>2</sup></span><span>H isotopic difference between LIN and ALA resulted in the highest site-specificity. Using linear discrimination analysis of FA isotope values, over 90 % of fish could be assigned to their location of origin, however, the accuracy dropped to about 56 % when isotope data from 2016 were used to predict the sites for samples collected in 2018, suggesting temporal shifts in site specificity of </span><span><span>δ</span><sup><span>2</span></sup><span>H<sub>FA</sub></span> and </span><span>d</span><span>13</span><span>CFA. However, predictive results were still higher than site specificity compared to bulk tissue isotopes for a single time point. In summary, compound-specific isotope analysis of fatty acids may become a highly effective tool for assessing fine and large-scale movement and foraging areas of animals.</span></p>
