Supplementary files for: Why should we compare morphological and molecular disparity?

<p><span>1. </span><span>Indices of morphological disparity seek to summarise the highly multivariate morphological variation across groups of species within clades, time bins or other groups. Morphological variation can be quantified using geometric morphometric, outline or surface-based methods. These are most effective when morphological differences are relatively modest and there are numerous ubiquitous landmarks and phase-aligned features of shape variation. The most disparate samples, such as those across classes and phyla, typically necessitate the use of discrete characters. Unfortunately, such characters are often compiled subjectively in a manner reflecting the level of morphological and taxonomic focus and the intensity of taxon sampling. </span></p> <p><span>2. </span><span>Sampling intensity is often highly variable within a single data set, especially in repurposed and amalgamated cladistic matrices. Here we propose indices of molecular disparity analogous to those of morphological disparity. Molecular sequence data can be obtained in a more objective, automated and scaleable manner than morphological data. </span></p> <p><span>3. </span><span>Comparisons of the morphological and molecular disparity of subclades in sixteen large data sets suggest that molecular disparity is less susceptible to sampling biases than morphological disparity. Moreover, distance matrices inferred from individual genes tend to correlate strongly with each other and with distances from all concatenated genes. By contrast, morphological and molecular disparity are typically not significantly correlated across subclades, such that comparisons for groups can help to give a fuller picture of their evolution. Within mammals, Afrotheria have conspicuously high morphological disparity but modest molecular disparity, suggesting unusually high morphological plasticity. Even more strikingly, the molecular disparity of rodents is over five times that for Artiodactyla, despite having only half of their morphological disparity. These contrasts suggest the differential operation of geometric, biomechanical, ontogenetic and environmental constraints on form. </span></p> <p><span>4. </span><span>Given the increasing abundance of total evidence data sets in the literature and the widespread and sometimes uncritical repurposing of discrete morphological characters, we propose the comparison of morphological and molecular disparity as a useful tool to understand subclade evolution more fully.  </span></p>

Higher spring phenological sensitivity to forcing temperatures of Asian compared to European tree species under low and high pre-chilling conditions Datasets

<p>Winter chilling, spring forcing temperature and photoperiod are the most important drivers explaining the spatial and temporal variability of spring phenology in temperate trees. However, how these factors interact with each other on dormancy release and spring budburst date remains unclear and varies greatly depending on species. Our knowledge is also limited as to whether heat accumulation of forcing temperatures that trigger bud break in spring is a linear or non-linear process. Here, we aimed at experimentally quantifying the effect of chilling, forcing, photoperiod and their interactions on the budburst dates of nine different temperate tree species from East Asia (near Beijing, China) and Central Europe (near Zurich, Switzerland), including six phylogenetically related species (same genus). We conducted a full factorial experiment in climate chambers using two chilling (low and high, i.e., 0 vs. 56 days at 2C after sampling at the end of December), four forcing (5, 10, 15, and 20C), and two photoperiod (8 vs. 16 h) treatments simultaneously in Beijing and Zurich. We found that species growing near Beijing responded more readily to forcing conditions than species of the same genus growing near Zurich regardless of chilling treatment. Budburst timing of most species but European beech was marginally, if at all, affected by photoperiod. Furthermore, our results suggest that linear heat accumulation, as commonly used with the growing degree hours (GDH) model, could result in accurate prediction of budburst date depending on the temperature threshold used as a basis for heat accumulation. Our results also demonstrate the important role of chilling in shaping the sensitivity and rate of forcing accumulation to trigger budburst and suggest that species-specific sigmoid relationship for accumulating heat that accounts for prior chilling exposure may yield better predictions of budburst dates. Our results suggest that deciduous trees may have adapted their chilling and forcing requirements in regards to the predictability of winter-spring transition and late spring frosts. A less predictable winter-spring transition, as observed in Central Europe, could have driven species evolution towards higher chilling and forcing requirements compared to species growing in a more predictable climate of Northeastern Asia. Our cross-continental experiment therefore suggests that the spring phenology of East Asian species is tighter coupled to spring forcing temperature than Central European forests.</p>

A comparative assessment of different adaptive spatial refinement strategies in phase-field fracture models for brittle fracture

<p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> <p>(from [1])</p> <blockquote> <p>For the smeared approximation of a discrete crack, phase-field fracture simulations of brittle materials require suitable finite element meshes in regions where crack propagation is expected to get an accurate resolution of the phase-field function. The intuitive option is to pre-refine the mesh in regions of the expected crack paths. However, this could lead to very computationally intensive simulations due to the high number of elements. Alternatively, adaptive spatial refinement of the finite element mesh is utilized based on appropriate error indicators to obtain the required accuracy in the areas of crack propagation. Different error indicators can be used: the most common one for phase-field fracture simulations is the threshold-based approach, in which elements are refined depending on the value of the phase-field function. Alternatively, the Kelly error indicator can be used as a criterion for spatial adaptivity. It considers the jumps in the gradients of the phase-field function between the elements. We additionally introduce here an error indicator based on configurational forces, that depend on the Eshelby stress tensor. For mode I loading in linear elastic fracture mechanics, the configurational forces have a close connection to the <span class="math-tex">\(\mathscr{J}\)</span>-Integral and the critical fracture energy <span class="math-tex">\(\mathrm{G}_\mathrm{c}\)</span> , respectively. Therefore, a suitable norm of the configurational forces is introduced as an error indicator here. These three error indicators are introduced and compared to each other in terms of accuracy and efficiency by means of numerical examples for crack growth in the single edge notched shear test.</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>Contact:</strong></p> <p>Maurice Rohracker</p> <p>Institute of Applied Mechanics</p> <p>Friedrich-Alexander-Universit&auml;t Erlangen-N&uuml;rnberg</p> <p>Egerlandstr. 5</p> <p>91058 Erlangen</p> <p><strong>Software:</strong></p> <p>All phase-field fracture simulations were performed with <em>deal.II</em> [2], version 9.2.0, on the HPC cluster <em>Meggie</em> of NHR@FAU.

Comparative molecular and morphological species delineation of Halammohydra Remane, 1927 (Hydrozoa) – with description of four new species

<p><span>Whereas most cnidarians are macrofaunal, a few microscopic lineages have evolved and some of them inhabit marine sediments. The meiofaunal genus with the most species is <em>Halammohydra</em>, comprising nine nominal species. Species are described with high intraspecific variability in e.g., number of tentacles and statocysts and the shape and length of tentacles and body, complicating morphological identification to species level. Additionally, there is not much molecular data available. This study aims to revise already described species with morphological and molecular methods, as well as, to delineate potential new species answering questions about their geographical distribution. For this, specimens were sampled at 16 locations in the Northwest Atlantic and two localities in the East Atlantic, documented with light microscopy and fixed individually for sequencing (16S, 18S and CO1). Herewith morphological characters were linked to a specific sequence, enabling testing of character variation within one molecular phylogenetic group. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted (Bayesian Interference and Maximum Likelihood) in combination with species delimitation tests (ABGD, GMYC and bPTP). Four already described species were identified in the data sets, and all of these were found at multiple localities. Four new species are described. Overall, the combined molecular and morphological data acquisition revealed multiple new species and a high degree of sympatry in <em>Halammohydra</em>. This, together with the confirmed excessive intraspecific variation in morphological traits, underlines the necessity of molecular sequencing for taxonomy and species identification of <em>Halammohydra</em>. </span></p>

Reconstructing locomotor ecology of extinct avialans: a case study of Ichthyornis comparing sternum morphology and skeletal proportions

<p>Avian skeletal morphology is associated with locomotor function, including flight style, swimming and terrestrial locomotion, and permits informed inferences on locomotion in extinct taxa. The fossil taxon <em>Ichthyornis</em> (Avialae: Ornithurae) has long been regarded as highly aerial, with flight similar to terns or gulls (Laridae), and skeletal features resembling foot-propelled diving adaptations. However, rigorous testing of locomotor hypotheses has yet to be performed on <em>Ichthyornis</em>, despite its notable phylogenetic position as one of the most crownward stem birds. We analysed separate datasets of 3D sternal shape (geometric morphometrics) and skeletal proportions (linear measurements across the skeleton), to examine how well these data types predict locomotor traits in Neornithes. We then used this information to infer locomotor capabilities of <em>Ichthyornis</em>. We find strong support for both soaring and foot-propelled swimming capabilities in <em>Ichthyornis</em>. Further, sternal shape and skeletal proportions provide complementary information on avian locomotion: skeletal proportions allow better predictions of the capacity for flight, whereas sternal shape predicts variation in more specific locomotor abilities such as soaring, foot-propelled swimming, and escape burst flight. These results have important implications for future studies of extinct avialan ecology, and underscore the importance of closely considering sternum morphology in investigations of fossil bird locomotion.</p>

Comparing zero-parameter theories for the WCA and harmonic-repulsive melting lines (data)

<p>This dataset contains data related to the paper titled &quot;Comparing zero-parameter theories for the WCA and harmonic-repulsive melting lines&quot; by Jeppe C. Dyre and Ulf R. Pedersen, with the abstract:</p> <p>The melting line of the Weeks-Chandler-Andersen (WCA) system was recently determined accurately and compared to the predictions of four analytical hard-sphere approximations [Attia \textit{et al.}, J. Chem. Phys. \textbf{157}, 034502 (2022)]. Here, we study an alternative zero-parameter prediction based on the isomorph theory, the input of which relate to properties at a single reference state point on the melting line. The two central assumptions made are that the harmonic-repulsive potential approximates the WCA potential and that pair collisions are uncorrelated. The new approach gives excellent predictions at high temperatures, while the hard-sphere-theory based predictions are better at lower temperatures. Supplementing the WCA investigation, the face-centered-crystal to fluid coexistence line is determined for a system of harmonic-repulsive particles and compared to the zero-parameter theories. The results indicate that the excellent isomorph-theory predictions for the WCA potential at higher temperatures may be partly due to a cancellation of errors between the two above-mentioned assumptions.</p>

Chloroplast genome assemblies and comparative analyses of commercially important Vaccinium berry crops

<p><em>Vaccinium</em> is a large genus of shrubs that includes a handful of economically important berry crops. Given the numerous hybridizations and polyploidization events, the taxonomy of this genus has remained the subject of long debate. In addition, berries and berry-based products are liable to adulteration, either fraudulent or unintentional due to misidentification of species. The availability of more genomic information could help achieve higher phylogenetic resolution for the genus, provide molecular markers for berry crop identification, and a framework for efficient genetic engineering of chloroplasts. Therefore, in this study, we assembled five <em>Vaccinium</em> chloroplast sequences representing the economically relevant berry types: northern highbush blueberry (<em>V. corymbosum</em>), southern highbush blueberry (<em>V. corymbosum</em> hybrids), rabbiteye blueberry (<em>V. virgatum</em>), lowbush blueberry (<em>V. angustifolium</em>), and bilberry (<em>V. myrtillus</em>). Comparative analyses showed that the <em>Vaccinium</em> chloroplast genomes exhibited an overall highly conserved synteny and sequence identity among them. Polymorphic regions included the expansion/contraction of inverted repeats, gene copy number variation, simple sequence repeats, indels, and single nucleotide polymorphisms. Based on their in silico discrimination power, we suggested variants that could be developed into molecular markers for berry crop identification. Phylogenetic analysis revealed multiple origins of highbush blueberry plastomes, likely due to the hybridization events that occurred during northern and southern highbush blueberry domestication.</p>

Comparative analysis of two Candida parapsilosis isolates from the patient with a central venous catheter harbouring the Y132F and R398I mutations

<p>This work presents a comparative analysis of 2 clinical isolates of <em>C. parapsilosis</em>; isolated from haemoculture (HC) and central venous catheter (CVC). Both strains harboured Y132F and R398I mutations associated with resistance to fluconazole (FLC). Differences between HC and CVC isolates in terms of virulence, resistance to FLC and lipid distribution were addressed. Expression of the ERG6 and ERG9 genes, lipid analysis, fatty acid composition and lipase activity were assessed by qPCR, thin-layer chromatography/high performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography and spectrophotometry, respectively. A regulation of the ERG6 and ERG9 genes did not prove any impact on FLC resistance. Analysis of lipid metabolism showed a higher accumulation of lanosterol in both isolates regardless of FLC presence. Additionally, a decreased level in triacylglycerols (TAG) with impact on the composition of total FA was observed for both isolates. Direct impact of the ERG11 mutations to lipid/FA analysis has not been confirmed. The higher lipase activity observed for <em>C. parapsilosis</em> HC isolate could be correlated with the significantly decreased level of TAG. The very close relatedness between both isolates suggests that one isolate was derived from another after the initial infection of the host.</p>
