Local Earthquake Tomography Code and Data for study the Lithosphere Structure in the Collision Zone of the NW Himalayas

The tomography model presented in the paper "Lithosphere Structure in the Collision Zone of the NW Himalayas Revealed by Local Earthquake Tomography" are obtained using the LOTOS code by Koulakov (2009). Here, we present the full version of the code with initial data and parameters used for calculating P and S velocity models beneath the NW Himalaya. This version of the code is adopted for the Windows OS and contains the entire program listing and the full project structure for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and Intel Visual Fortran. Detailed description of the code can be found at <a href="http://www.ivan-art.com/science/LOTOS">www.ivan-art.com/science/LOTOS</a>

Resources and seasonality drive the composition of mixed-species bird flocks along an elevational gradient in the Himalaya

Mixed-species bird flocks are cohesive networks of interacting insectivorous bird species that benefit from reduced predation risk and/or enhanced resource access. We studied how species' propensity to participate in mixed flocks, and the number and strength of interspecific associations within flocks, changed along elevational (low, mid, high) and seasonal (winter, spring) gradients in the western Himalaya. We expected species to have high propensities, and greater number and strength of interspecific associations when resources are scarce, and to decline when resources are abundant. We first used species occurrence within and outside mixed flocks to calculate species-specific flocking propensity and then performed network analyses to quantify the proportion of realized interspecific associations (network density) and their strength (weighted degree), using an abundance-based null model to control flocking species' availability. Further, we quantified arthropod prey availability in winter by using a branch bagging technique. Insect availability and arthropod diversity decreased with increasing elevation in winter and species' flocking propensities, network densities and weighted degrees increased with elevation, possibly to benefit from facilitative interactions that increase foraging success. In spring, as more resources become available and/or bird start investing more time in breeding, flocking propensities, network densities and species' weighted degrees declined at all elevations when compared with winter. During resource-scarce periods, species might find solitary foraging prohibitive because of reduced resource access and costs of vigilance therefore leading to the formation of networks of facilitative associations.

Thermal regimes and hatching success related data for wild king cobra nests from the Western Himalayas, Uttarakhand, India

This dataset, collected between 2009-2020, describes the thermal regimes of wild king cobra nests from the foothills of the Western Himalayas of Uttarakhand, northern India. Nest and ambient temperatures at nest sites were recorded every hour via automatic data loggers during, mostly, the latter part of incubation period (post natural nest-abandonment by female king cobras). Nest attributes (e.g. size, weight etc.) and hatching success parameters (i.e. percentage of hatched eggs and offspring size) are also provided per nest. All uploaded data have been analyzed in the paper: "House warming: wild king cobra nests have thermal regimes that positively affect hatching success and hatchling size" by Dolia et al. (currently under review in Journal of Thermal Biology.)
