Ice core, auger hole, conductivity, and shapefile data to determine bottomfast sea ice extent from lagoon sites along the Beaufort Sea Coast, Alaska, 2017-2021
The shapefile represents bottomfast sea ice (BSI) extent in lagoons along the Alaska Beaufort Sea coast during winter and spring, 2017-2021. It was created by digitizing extents from interferograms from the Alaska Satellite Facility Vertex portal. The result is used to identify BSI lateral extent in Arctic lagoons during the growth cycle seasonally. Comparing to future interferograms will identify the trend of BSI within Arctic lagoons. Each feature is attributed with applicable date range and area. Accurate data for the initial growth and maximum extent of BSI could only be collected for the winter and spring months. After the last collection in the spring, there is likely still BSI; however, the surface processes that take place after this point prevent further readings. For early winter time periods, if there are interferograms available (2017 and 2018 data had gaps in interferogram collection as Sentinel-1 was still new), the first date collected can be considered the onset of BSI formation. Ice cores are collected using a Snow, Ice, and Permafrost Research Establishment (SIPRE) corer and measured for salinity. The data is logged in Excel format following Seasonal Ice Zone Observing Network (SIZONet) practices, making it compatible with the PySIC Python toolkit for analysis. The auger data identifies key measurements collected from in-situ observations. Data are collected along five surveys and saved as a single CSV file. The data represent a 1-D representation of each auger hole. The data are used to verify satellite interpretations of BSI extent. The apparent conductivity data includes values at three frequencies (1000 Hz, 4000 Hz, 16000 Hz) recorded during the spring of 2021 in Western Elson Lagoon. Data are saved as an EMI file, which is a CSV format with specific column names and header information. MATLAB scripts to read and interpret data are included in this data package. The apparent conductivity values are used to identify the boundary between floating

Sub-National COVID-19 Incidence and Determinants Dataset
<p>The Sub-National COVID-19 Incidence and Determinants Dataset contains rich sub-national data on COVID-19 cases and deaths combined with data on factors associated with the spread and severity of COVID-19 outbreaks in 2020. The data covers 503 sub-national areas (NUTS-2 level and equivalents) of 46 countries in five continents (Europe, Asia, North America, South America and Oceania). Indicators were mostly gathered weekly, with the exception of some variables that are monthly and yearly. The dataset was compiled to study the determinants of COVID-19 outbreaks with a focus on the effects of international airline travel. However, the data are useful to investigate also other questions on the sub-national diffusion of COVID-19. The information used to build this dataset was drawn from a variety of sources in order to cover four major areas of interest: health outcomes of the pandemic (COVID-19 cases and deaths), international air travel (number of incoming air passengers, centrality of local airports in the global airline network and air travel limitation policies), population mixing and government policy responses, and pre-pandemic area characteristics (socioeconomic, demographic, public health and co-morbidity).

State Water Project, Genetic Determination of Population of Origin 2011-2024
Central Valley Chinook Salmon populations differ in their Endangered Species Act listing status. It is often difficult to distinguish individuals from the different Evolutionarily Significant Units. As such, many of the salmon monitoring and evaluation efforts in the Central Valley and San Francisco Bay-Delta are hampered by uncertainty about population (stock) identification and proportional effects of management actions (Dekar et al. 2013; IEP 2019). Studies have identified that the current identification method (length-at-date models) of juvenile Chinook salmon (Fisher 1992) captured in the watershed vary in their accuracy, particularly for spring-run (NMFS 2013; Harvey et al. 2014; Merz et al. 2014). The inaccuracy of the size-based methods is likely due to differences in fish distribution during early rearing, habitat-specific growth rates, and inter-annual variability in temperatures and food availability that lead to overlap in size ranges among stocks. The primary objective of this project was the genetic classification (to race; Evolutionary Significant Unit) of Chinook Salmon captured from State Water Project and Central Valley Project fish protection facilities and Interagency Ecological Program monitoring programs. The population-of-origin was determined for sampled fish by comparing their genotypes to reference genetic baselines. Genetic methods, having less statistical uncertainty that size-based models for population identification, were intended to directly target (and reduce) one source of uncertainty in the estimation of loss (take) from water diversions (operations) and develop the information necessary for understanding stock-specific distribution, habitat utilization, abundance, and life history variation.

Density independent prey choice, taxonomy, life history and web characteristics determine the diet and biocontrol potential of spiders (Linyphiidae and Lycosidae) in cereal crops - Dataset
<p>Materials and Methods</p> <p>Fieldwork</p> <p>Money spiders (Araneae: Linyphiidae) and wolf spiders (Araneae: Lycosidae) were the two most common families present in these field surveys, so were prioritised for collection. Spiders were visually located along transects in two adjacent barley fields at Burdons Farm, Wenvoe in South Wales (51°26'24.8"N, 3°16'17.9"W) and collected from occupied webs and the ground, between April and September 2018. Surveys and sampling were conducted five days per week across this period. Each transect was adjacent to a randomly selected tramline and they were distributed across the entire field. The areas searched were 4 m<sup>2</sup> quadrats at least 10 m apart and all observed linyphiids and lycosids were collected in approximately 15-minute searches. The spiders included in this study were taken from 64 locations across 24 days (Supplementary Table 3) along the aforementioned transects. Spiders were individually placed into 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tubes containing 100 % ethanol using an aspirator, regularly changing meshing, at least every five spiders, to limit potential cross-contamination between spiders (spiders were also subsequently washed during transferral to fresh ethanol at the identification and, separately, dissection stages). Linyphiids occupying webs were prioritised for collection, but ground-active linyphiid spiders were also collected. For each spider taken from a web, the height of the web from the ground and its approximate dimensions were recorded, the latter calculated as approximate web area. Spiders were taken to Cardiff University, transferred to fresh ethanol, adults identified to species-level and juveniles to genus, and stored at -80 °C in 100 % ethanol until subsequent DNA extraction. To obtain data on local prey density, 4 m<sup>2</sup> of ground and crop stems were suction sampled using a ‘G-vac’ for 30 seconds at each quadrat from which spiders were collected, with the collected material emptied into a bag, any organisms immediately killed with ethyl-acetate and material frozen for storage before sorting into 70 % ethanol in the lab.</p> <p>All invertebrates were identified to family level due to the restriction of many of the metabarcoding-derived dietary data to this level, and the difficulty associated with finer taxonomic resolution of many taxa. Exceptions included springtails of the superfamily Sminthuroidea (Sminthuridae and Bourletiellidae, which were often indistinguishable following suction sampling and preservation due to the fine features necessary to distinguish them) which were left at super-family, mites (many of which were immature or in poor condition) 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).</p> <p> </p> <p>Extraction and high-throughput sequencing of spider gut DNA</p> <p>Given their prevalence in field collections, dietary analysis was carried out for the linyphiid genera <em>Erigone</em>, <em>Tenuiphantes</em>, <em>Bathyphantes</em> and <em>Microlinyphia </em>(Araneae: Linyphiidae), and the Lycosidae genus <em>Pardosa</em>. Spiders were transferred to and washed in fresh 100 % ethanol to reduce external contaminants prior to identification via morphological key <sup>1</sup>. Abdomens were removed from spiders and again washed in and transferred to fresh 100 % ethanol. DNA was extracted from the abdomens via Qiagen TissueLyser II and DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit (Qiagen) as per the manufacturer protocol, but with an extended lysis time of 12 hours to account for the complex and branched gut system in spider abdomens <sup>2</sup>. At least one extraction negative (blank tubes treated identically to samples) was included per 12 spiders (each extraction typically contained 24 spiders, thus two extraction negatives), which was included in subsequent PCR and high-throughput sequencing to detect instances of lab/reagent contamination.</p> <p>For amplification of DNA, two primer pairs were used. BerenF-LuthienR <sup>3</sup> amplified a broad range of invertebrates including spiders, and TelperionF-LaureR, amplified a range of invertebrates but fewer spiders (modified from TelperionF-LaurelinR <sup>3</sup> via one base-pair change from Laurelin; 5’-ggrtawacwgttcawccagt-3’). Primers were labelled with unique 10 bp molecular identifier tags (MID-tags) so that each individual had a unique pairing of forward and reverse tags for identification of each spider post-sequencing. PCR reactions of 25 µl contained 12.5 µl Qiagen PCR Multiplex kit, 0.2 µmol (2.5 µl of 2 µM) of each primer and 5 µl template DNA. Reactions were carried out in the same thermocycler, optimised via temperature gradient, with an initial 15 minutes at 95 °C, 35 cycles of 95 °C for 30 seconds, the primer-specific annealing temperature for 90 seconds and 72 °C for 90 seconds, respectively, followed by a final extension at 72 °C for 10 minutes. BerenF-LuthienR and TelperionF-LaureR used annealing temperatures of 52 °C and 42 °C, respectively.</p> <p>Within each PCR 96-well plate, 12 negative controls (extraction and PCR), 2 blank controls and 2 positive controls were included (i.e. 80 samples per plate), based on Taberlet <em>et al. </em>(2018). Positive controls were mixtures of invertebrate DNA comprised of non-native Asiatic species in four different proportions (Supplementary Table 1) and blanks were empty wells within each plate to identify tag-jumping into unused MID-tag combinations. PCR negative controls were DNase-free water treated identically to DNA samples. A negative control was present for each MID-tag to identify any contamination of primers. All PCR products were visualised in a 2 % agarose gel with SYBRSafe (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Paisley, UK) and placed in categories based on their relative brightness. The concentration of these brightness categories was quantified via Qubit dsDNA High-sensitivity Assay Kits (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) with at least three representatives of each category per plate. The PCR products were then proportionally pooled according to these concentrations. Each pool was cleaned via SPRIselect beads (Beckman Coulter, Brea, USA), with a left-side size selection using a 1:1 ratio (retaining ~300-1000 bp fragments). The concentration of the pooled DNA was then determined via Qubit dsDNA High-sensitivity Assay Kits and pooled together into one library per primer pair. Library preparation for Illumina sequencing was carried out on the cleaned libraries via NEXTflex Rapid DNA-Seq Kit (Bioo Scientific, Austin, USA) and samples were sequenced on an Illumina MiSeq via a V3 chip with 300-bp paired-end reads (expected capacity ≤25,000,000 reads). Bioinformatic analysis followed (Drake et al., 2021; Supplementary Information 1).</p> <p> </p> <p>Statistical analysis</p> <p>All analyses were conducted in R v4.0.0 <sup>6</sup>. Initial multivariate analyses used binary data (i.e., presence/absence) given the various problems inherent to quantifying metabarcoding data <sup>7,8</sup>. Prey species that occurred only once across all of the dietary samples were removed before further analyses to prevent outliers skewing the results, which is particularly problematic for non-metric multidimensional scaling. Spider diets were compared between variables using multivariate generalized linear models (MGLMs) via ‘manyglm’ in the ‘mvabund’ package <sup>9</sup> with a binomial error family and Monte Carlo resampling. Model independent variables included spider genus, spider life stage (juvenile or adult, the latter defined by fully developed genitalia), spider sex and all two-way interactions between these variables. Pairwise two-way interactions were also included between the aforementioned variables and Julian day to account for how seasonality may affect these relationships.</p> <p>Coarse dietary differences were visualised by non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) via metaMDS in the ‘vegan’ package <sup>10</sup> with Jaccard distance in two dimensions and 999 tries. For NMDS, outliers (usually samples containing rare taxa) were identified by plotting and subsequently removed to facilitate separation of samples and achieve minimum stress. For visualisation of the effect of categorical variables against the dietary NMDS, spider plots were created using ‘ordispider’ with ‘ggplot’ and the ‘RColorBrewer’ ‘Accent’ colour palette <sup>11</sup>. Spider diet was compared against web characteristics for spiders for which both data were available using the MGLM process outlined above, but with starting models containing web height, web area, an interaction between the two, and pairwise interactions between genus, life stage and sex with the two web variables. This model used the same binomial error family as above, but with a ‘cloglog’ link function. For visualisation of the effect of continuous variables against the NMDS, surf plots were created with scaled coloured contours using the function “ordisurf” of the “ggplot” package in R.</p> <p>All prey taxa were classified as agricultural pests, natural enemies or excluded from subsequent analyses of intraguild predation and biocontrol (Supplementary Table 2). Intraguild predation and biocontrol variables were created by counting the number of natural enemy taxa, and, separately, of agriculturally relevant “pest” taxa (taxa containing species that commonly adversely affect agricultural productivity; Supplementary Table 2) in each spider’s diet. These resultant count data (effectively the diversity of pests and natural enemies predated by each individual spider) were separately analysed against spider genus, life stage and sex via GLM. “Site” (denoting the 4 m<sup>2</sup> area from which spiders were collected within fields) was initially included as a random effect in generalized linear mixed-models, but no significant effect was observed when comparing this model against a standard GLM via a likelihood ratio test of nested models using the ‘lrtest’ command in the ‘lmtest’ package <sup>12</sup>. Standard GLMs were thus used to avoid issues relating to singularity in the mixed models. The assumptions for the resultant Poisson error family GLMs were tested using the “testResiduals” function of the ‘DHARMa’ package <sup>13</sup>. Intraguild predation and biocontrol differences between significant terms were visualised using violin plots with the quartiles, median and 95 % upper limit annotated using the ‘geom_violin’ function in ‘ggplot2’.</p> <p><em>In situ</em> spider prey choice was analysed using network-based null models in the ‘econullnetr’ package <sup>14</sup> with the ‘generate_null_net’ command, visually represented with the ‘plot_preferences’ command. Binary dietary data were used alongside suction sample count data to represent prey availability. These suction sample data, as described above, were collected at the same sites as the spiders three days after spider collection. Prior to the taxonomic prey choice analysis, an hemipteran identified no further than order level through dietary analysis was removed due to the inability to pair it to any present prey taxa with certainty. Standardised effect sizes (SES) were extracted for all comparisons for each individual spider and compared between genera, life stages and sexes using permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PerMANOVA) using the ‘adonis’ function of the ’vegan’ package with 9999 permutations and a Euclidean distance matrix to determine overall differences in prey choice.</p> <p> </p> <p>References</p> <p>1.

MeV TOF SIMS determination of deposition order between optically distinguishable and indistinguishable inks
<p>In the forensic investigation of questioned documents, it is often very important to know the deposition order of ink traces from two different writing tools at their intersection on a paper. In the present work, intersections of inks from several writing tools were studied using optical techniques that are standardly applied for questioned documents examination in a forensic laboratory, and an accelerator-based Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) technique called Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry using MeV ions (MeV SIMS) that is applied in an accelerator facility. MeV SIMS provides molecular information about the studied inks from writing tools, which is an added value and can be also applied for the determination of deposition order but was so far relatively rarely used in forensic studies. Aim of this paper is to compare performance of optical techniques and MeV SIMS for several combinations of intersecting lines. Cases were divided into those in which optical techniques can distinguish used inks and those which are optically completely indistinguishable. In the latter cases, we show that although mass spectra of used inks (from blue ballpoint pens) had extremely small differences, these in combination with advanced and most importantly objective multivariate algorithms could be very beneficial in resolving the deposition order at the intersection of optically indistinguishable inks. In general, MeV SIMS proved to be more efficient for oil-based inks while difficulties were encountered with water-based ones, similar to optical methods.</p>
