Prey nutrient content is associated with the trophic interactions of spiders and their prey selection under field conditions

<h2>Materials and Methods</h2> <h2><a name="_Toc58843581"></a><em><span>Fieldwork</span></em></h2> <p><a name="_Hlk173879015"></a><a name="_Hlk56335325"></a><span><span>Money spiders (Araneae: Linyphiidae) and wolf spiders (Araneae: Lycosidae), the two most abundant spider groups in this study, were visually located along transects in two adjacent barley fields at Burdons Farm, Wenvoe in South Wales (51&deg;26'24.8"N, 3&deg;16'17.9"W) and collected from occupied webs and the ground in daylight hours between April and September 2018. Each belt transect was adjacent to a randomly selected crop tramline and were distributed across the entire field and ran its length. The areas searched were 4 m<sup>2</sup> quadrats at least 10 m apart and all observed linyphiids and lycosids were collected. The 300 spiders taken forward for molecular dietary analysis in this study were taken from 64 randomly selected locations along the aforementioned transects. </span></span><span><span>Following collection of spiders, 4 m<sup>2</sup> of ground and crop stems was suction sampled <a name="_Hlk173879230"></a>in each of these 64 sampling locations for approximately 30 seconds, with the collected material emptied into a bag and any organisms immediately killed with ethyl-acetate. Suction sampling used a &lsquo;G-vac&rsquo; modified garden leaf-blower. All material was later frozen at -20 &ordm;C for storage before sorting in the lab. Sticky trap data were also collected, but were not used in this study as suction sampling was found to represent the interactions of spiders more closely (Cuff, Tercel et al., 2024). These invertebrates were collected for background population densities and macronutrient analysis, not for molecular dietary analysis.</span></span></p> <p><span>All invertebrates were identified to family level using morphological keys: Araneae </span><span><span>(Roberts, 1993)</span></span><span>, Diptera </span><span><span>(Ball, 2008)</span></span><span>, Coleoptera </span><span><span>(Duff, 2012)</span></span><span>, Hymenoptera </span><span><span>(Goulet &amp; Huber, 1993)</span></span><span>, Hemiptera </span><span><span>(Unwin, 2001)</span></span><span>, Collembola </span><span><span>(Dallimore &amp; Shaw, 2013)</span></span><span> and Chilopoda </span><span><span>(Barber, 2008)</span></span><span>. Further identifications were not carried out due to the inability to identify some of the invertebrate groups further via the associated metabarcoding-derived dietary data (e.g., Sciaridae), and the difficulty associated with finer taxonomic resolution of many damaged or immature specimens. The only taxa not identified to family level were springtails of the superfamily Sminthuroidea (Sminthuridae and Bourletiellidae, which were often indistinguishable following suction sampling and preservation due to the fine features necessary to differentiate them) which were left at super-family, mites (many of which were immature or in poor condition, or lacked appropriate taxonomic keys) which were identified to order level and wasps of the superfamily Ichneumonoidea (which were identified no further due to obscurity of wing venation due to damage); in these cases, these taxonomic assignments were pooled to family-level for later analyses. <a name="_Hlk96098198"></a></span></p> <p><span><span>Extraction, amplification and sequencing of DNA from the individually collected spiders, and its bioinformatic analysis are described by </span></span><span><span><span>Cuff, Tercel, et al.

Newly identified nematodes from the Great Salt Lake are associated with microbialites and specially adapted to hypersaline conditions

<p>Extreme environments enable the study of simplified food-webs and serve as models for evolutionary bottlenecks and early Earth ecology. We investigated the biodiversity of invertebrate meiofauna in the benthic zone of the Great Salt Lake (GSL), UT, one of the most hypersaline lake systems in the world. The hypersaline bays within the GSL are currently thought to support only two multicellular animals: brine fly larvae and brine shrimp. Here, we report the presence, habitat, and microbial interactions of novel free-living nematodes. Nematode diversity drops dramatically along a salinity gradient from a freshwater river into the south arm of the lake. In Gilbert Bay, nematodes primarily inhabit reef-like organosedimentary structures built by bacteria called microbialites. These structures likely provide a protective barrier to UV and aridity, and bacterial associations within them may support life in hypersaline environments. Notably, sampling from Owens Lake, another terminal lake in the Great Basin that lacks microbialites, did not recover nematodes from similar salinities. Phylogenetic divergence suggests that GSL nematodes represent previously undescribed members of the family Monhysteridae – one of the dominant fauna of the abyssal zone and deep-sea hydrothermal vents. These findings update our understanding of halophile ecosystems and the habitable limit of animals.</p>

Climate-associated decline of body condition in a fossorial salamander

<p><strong>Climate-associated decline of body condition in a fossorial salamander</strong></p> <p><strong>Abstract&nbsp;</strong>Temperate ectotherms have responded to recent environmental change, likely due to the direct and indirect effects of temperature on key life-cycle events. Yet, a substantial number of ectotherms are fossorial, spending the vast majority of their lives in subterranean microhabitats that are assumed to be buffered against environmental change. Here we examine whether seasonal climatic conditions influence body condition (a measure of general health and vigor), reproductive output, and breeding phenology in a northern population of fossorial salamander (Spotted Salamander,<em>Ambystoma maculatum</em>). We found that breeding body condition declined over a 12 year monitoring period (2008&ndash;2019) with warmer summer and autumn temperatures at least partly responsible for the observed decline in body condition. Our findings are consistent with the hypothesis that elevated metabolism drives the negative association between temperature and condition. Population-level reproduction, assessed via egg mass counts, showed high interannual variation and was weakly influenced by autumn temperatures. Salamander breeding phenology was strongly correlated with lake ice-melt but showed no long-term temporal trend (1986&ndash;2019). Climatic warming in the region, which has been and is forecasted to be strongest in the summer and autumn, is predicted to lead to a&nbsp;5 to 27%&nbsp;decline in salamander body condition under realistic near-future climate scenarios. Although the subterranean environment offers a thermal buffer, the observed decline in condition and relatively strong effect of summer temperature on body condition suggest that&nbsp;fossorial salamanders are sensitive to the effects of a warming climate.&nbsp;Given the diversity of fossorial taxa, heightened attention to the vulnerability of subterranean microhabitat refugia and their inhabitants is warranted amid global climatic change.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The&nbsp;dataset and corresponding R script are split into five parts, consistent with the presentation of Methods/Results in Moldowan et al.</p> <p><strong>Part 1 of 5:&nbsp;Body condition data and analysis files</strong></p> <ul> <li>2008.2019.female.SMI.CONSTANTSVL.csv</li> <li>2008.2019.male.SMI.CONSTANTSVL.csv</li> <li>2009.2019.female.SMI.CONSTANTSVL.csv</li> <li>2009.2019.male.SMI.CONSTANTSVL.csv</li> <li>BodyCondition.TimeSeries.WeightedRegression.csv</li> <li>SMAregression.Female.2009.2019.R</li> <li>SMAregression.Male.2009.2019.R</li> <li>ModelSel.Avrg.Forecast.AutoCor.FemaleBodyCondition.climate.R</li> <li>ModelSel.Avrg.Forecast.AutoCor.MaleBodyCondition.climate.R</li> <li>WeightedRegression.BodyCondition.TimeSeries.R</li> <li>YearEffects-Njal_PDM update (20 March 2021)</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Part 2&nbsp;of 5:&nbsp;Forecast&nbsp;body condition under climate change&nbsp;files</strong></p> <ul> <li>2009.2019.male.SMI.CONSTANTSVL.csv (as above in Part 1)</li> <li>HeatMap.Forecast.MaleSMI.04 Feb 2021.R</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Part 3&nbsp;of 5:&nbsp;Reproductive output (egg mass) data and analysis files</strong></p> <ul> <li>2009.2019.EggCount.Climate.csv</li> <li>ReproductiveOutput.climate.R</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Part 4&nbsp;of 5:&nbsp;Breeding phenology data and analysis files</strong></p> <ul> <li>2008.2019.BreedingPhenology.Climate.csv</li> <li>Opeongo.Two Rivers.Bat.IceOff.csv</li> <li>BreedingPhenology.climate.R</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Part 5 of 5: Temperature dataloggers and salamander metabolic rate estimation files</strong></p> <ul> <li>HOBO_Bat_Lake_Underground_Temperatures.csv</li> <li>WhitfordHutchison1967Data.csv</li> <li>WhitfordHutchison1967DataExplainer.xlsx</li> <li>Metabolic Rate Prediction_PDM, 21 Feb 2021.R</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p>

δ15N of nitric oxide produced under aerobic or anaerobic conditions from seven soils and their associated N isotope fractionations

<p>Measuring the nitrogen isotope compositions (δ<sup>15</sup>N) of nitric oxide (NO) from different sources helps to quantify the relative contributions of atmospheric NO<sub>x</sub>. Soil is one of the most important sources of atmospheric NO<sub>x</sub>, but only limited measurements on the δ<sup>15</sup>N of soil emitted NO exist, hampering our ability to partition sources to air pollution. Here we conducted soil incubations to measure the δ<sup>15</sup>N-NO under defined aerobic or anaerobic conditions, favoring either nitrification or denitrification. Soils were collected from seven sites spanning three ecosystems in northern China (two agricultural, two forest, and three grassland sites). We found that the δ<sup>15</sup>N-NO and their associated N isotope fractionations were significant different between anaerobic and aerobic conditions in seven soils. Under aerobic condition, the δ<sup>15</sup>N-NO ranged from -62‰ to -50‰ (averaged -56 ± 4‰), being significantly more negative (by 23‰) than those under anaerobic condition (-45‰ to -23‰, averaged -33 ± 7‰). The apparent N isotope fractionation for NO production under aerobic condition (<sup>15</sup><em>ε</em><sub>aerobic</sub> = 61 ± 3‰) was significantly higher (by 26‰) than under anaerobic condition (<sup>15</sup><em>ε</em><sub>anaerobic</sub> = 35 ± 6‰), with a small variability among ecosystem types. Our study demonstrates that the δ<sup>15</sup>N-NO from different soils are very different from fuel combustions (mainly from 0 to +20‰), supporting that measuring <sup>15</sup>N is a useful tool to partition the contributions of soil NO to atmospheric NO<sub>x</sub>. Our results also imply δ<sup>15</sup>N-NO produced by nitrification and denitrification distinctly different, as these two processes are dominant processes producing NO under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, respectively.</p>

Data from: Associations with landscape and local-scale wetland habitat conditions vary among migratory shorebird species during stopovers

<p>Wetlands provide many ecosystem services and functions, including critical stopover habitat for numberous migratory shorbirds species. We conducted shorebird surveys at &gt;14,000 wetlands and associated observed abundance with wetland variables for 16 species. We found that the scale at which observed abundance was associated with wetland extent varied among speceis, and that for most species abundance was positively associated with higher wetland density, presence of shallow water, more usable area, and limited vegetation. There was considerable variation in the strength and sometimes direction of responses. Our study helps inform optimal habitat requirementes for shorebirds.</p>

Species-level fungal OTUs have been identified applying ITS2-based metabarcoding to the different parts of the focal plant <em>B. vivipara </em>(bulbils, leaves and roots) and its surrounding soil and leaves of surrounding plants. In total, the data contains data on 253 fungal OTUs across 641 sampling units.</p> <p>The README file describes the contents of the metadata and explains how the scripts are to be run in order to reproduce the results of the study.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
