Winterberry: Fruit retention in fall and winter in 2016-2019 for four shrub species across Alaska
This dataset contains observations of fruit retention and state for Rosa acicularis (prickly rose), Empetrum nigrum (crowberry or blackberry), Vaccinium vitis-idaea (lowbush cranberry or lingonberry) and Viburnum edule (highbush cranberry). Data were collected at 47 sites in 25 communities in 6 ecoregions across Alaska, primarily by youth groups. Ecoregions include Bering taiga, Bering tundra, intermontane boreal, Alaska range transition, Aleutian meadows, and coastal rainforest. Observations were made approximately weekly during snow-free periods in fall and (at some sites) spring. At most sites only one species was monitored but some sites include observations on two species. Data consist of counts of unripe, ripe, rotten, dry, and damaged fruits. The dataset consists of one spreadsheet for each species and a file describing the location and habitat of each site.

Supplementary Datasets for the publication "Rousettus aegyptiacus Fruit Bats Do Not Support Productive Replication of Cedar Virus upon Experimental Challenge"
<p>Cedar henipavirus (CedV), which was isolated from the urine of pteropodid bats in Australia, belongs to the genus Henipavirus in the family of Paramyxoviridae. It is closely related to the Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV), which have been classified at the highest biosafety level (BSL4) due to their high pathogenicity for humans. Meanwhile, CedV is apathogenic for humans and animals. As such, it is often used as a model virus for the highly pathogenic henipaviruses HeV and NiV. In this study, we challenged eight Rousettus aegyptiacus fruit bats of different age groups with CedV in order to assess their age-dependent susceptibility to a CedV infection. Upon intranasal inoculation, none of the animals developed clinical signs, and only trace amounts of viral RNA were detectable at 2 days post-inoculation in the upper respiratory tract and the kidney as well as in oral and anal swab samples. Continuous monitoring of the body temperature and locomotion activity of four animals, however, indicated minor alterations in the challenged animals, which would have remained unnoticed otherwise.</p>

Updated fruits and vegetable parameters for swat models
<p>Ensuring accurate crop yield simulations in ecohydrological models such as the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is crucial to improve our understanding of agricultural systems and productivity. This, in turn, can facilitate the development of more sustainable agricultural practices. In this study, we focused on validating the crop growth parameters of the SWAT model for 24 table food fruits and vegetables in Iowa, located in the western Corn Belt region of the United States.</p> <p>To estimate these parameters, we used five primary sources: a) existing parameters in the SWAT crop parameter database, b) alternative parameters in the Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) and Agricultural Policy/Environmental eXtender (APEX) crop parameter databases, c) literature, d) PHU fraction for scheduling dates, and e) expert communication among modeling team members. Among the 24 crops tested, 15 initial parameter data sets were already available in the SWAT database, and the remaining crop types were added to this plant.dat file.</p>
Calcium imaging of odor responses in the fruit fly mushroom body
<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>This dataset contains olfactory responses in the third stage of the olfactory circuit in fruit flies: the mushroom body. The responses are recorded with the GCaMP3 sensor. The methods used to collect the data and the procedures to process them are presented in detail in Campbell et al., 2013, Journal of Neuroscience. The dataset was also used in a recent manuscript by Srinivasan et al., 2023.</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong></p> <p>Please refer to Campbell et al., 2013, Journal of Neuroscience for details. Here, we present a description of how the data was collected, the odors presented, and the analysis, excerpted from Campbell et al., 2013.</p> <p><strong>Animal preparation</strong></p> <p>Flies carrying the genetically encoded calcium sensor UAS-GCaMP3 (Tian et al., 2009) were crossed with OK107-Gal4 flies (Connolly et al., 1996) to drive GCaMP3 expression in essentially all KCs (Lee and Luo, 1999; Aso et al., 2009). All experiments were conducted on female F1 heterozygotes from this cross, aged 2–5 d post-eclosion. Procedures for animal preparation were as described previously (Turner et al., 2008; Murthy and Turner, 2010; Honegger et al., 2011). Flies were anesthetized temporarily on ice and inserted into a small hole cut in the recording platform. The animal’s head was tilted forward, exposing the olfactory organs to the odor delivery nozzle located on the underside of the plat- form. The fly was fixed in place with fast-drying epoxy (Devcon 5 min epoxy). The top of the fly was bathed in oxygenated saline (Wilson et al., 2004) and the cuticle overlying the brain was dissected away. Air sacs overlying the MBs were pushed aside, but we did not attempt to remove the perineural sheath. To minimize movement of the brain inside the head capsule, we removed the pulsatile organ at the neck and the probos- cis retractor muscles that pass over the caudal aspect of the optic lobes.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Odor delivery </strong></p> <p>The following chemicals were used as stimuli: 2-heptanone (CAS #110-43- 0), 3-octanol (CAS #589-98-0), 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one (CAS #110-93-0), ␣-humulene (CAS #6753-98-6), benzaldehyde (CAS #100-52-7), ethyl lactate (CAS #97-64-3), ethyl octanoate (CAS #106-32-1), hexanal (CAS #66-25-1), isoamyl acetate (CAS #123-92-2), 4-methylcyclo- hexanol (CAS #589-91-3), methyl octanoate (CAS #111-11-5), diethyl suc- cinate (CAS #123-25-1), pentanal (CAS #110-62-3), butyl acetate (CAS #123-86-4), 1-octen-3-ol (CAS #3391-86-4), 1-hepten-3-ol (CAS #4938-52- 7), and pentyl acetate (CAS #628-63-7). Odors were presented using a custom-built delivery system that uses serial air dilutions to control odor concentration while maintaining a constant total airflow of 1 L/min at the fly. Experiments were conducted at an odor dilution of 1:100 or, where appropriate, adjusted to match the concentrations used behaviorally. We used a photo-ionization detector (Aurora Scientific) to match concentrations between the imaging rig and the T-maze and to monitor odor delivery throughout each imaging ex- periment. Odor pulses were created by switching between clean and odorized air streams using a synchronous two-way valve (N-Research). This final valve was located 50 cm from the fly, leading to a delay of 300 ms between valve switching and the odor reaching the fly. The flow path was 1/8 inch in diameter throughout, which enabled the system to work near atmospheric pressure at these flow rates. The distance of the valve from the fly and the large tubing diameter virtually eliminated pressure transients caused by valve switching, as measured by the photo-ionization detector and a hot-wire anemometer.</p> <p><strong>Calcium imaging</strong></p> <p>Two-photon imaging was performed using a Prairie Ultima system (Prairie Technologies) and a Ti-Sapphire laser (Chameleon XR; Coher- ent) tuned to 920 nm delivering 8 –10 mW at the sample. All images were acquired with Olympus water-immersion objectives (LUMPlanFl/IR, 60x, numerical aperture 0.9; LUMPlanFl/IR, 40x, numerical aperture 0.8). Imaging planes were selected to maximize the number of visibleKCs. Typically imaging frames were 300 x 300 pixels, acquired with a pixel dwell time of 1.6 s, yielding frame rates near 3.8 Hz. On average, 120 KCs (range: 60 –170) were monitored in one plane. Custom MATLAB (MathWorks) routines were used to control odor presentation and synchronize stimulus delivery with data acquisition. Data were acquired in 20 s sweeps with a 1 s odor pulse triggered 8 s after sweep onset. The interstimulus interval was 25 s. Stimuli were presented in randomly interleaved fashion, adjusted so that the same odor was never presented twice in succession.</p> <p><strong>Imaging analysis</strong></p> <p>Data were analyzed using MATLAB and R (http://www.R-project.org). To correct for motion within the field of view, frames were aligned using 2D image registration approaches. In many cases, a Fourier-based sub-pixel translation correction was sufficient (Guizar-Sicairos et al., 2008). Some animals required an affine transform to cope with global distortions, such as rotational movement of the brain (Thirion, 1998). Where necessary a nonrigid transform was used to correct more localized dis- tortions (Klein et al., 2010). Fluorescent neural tissue was automatically segmented from the surrounding regions. Pixel intensity values from the area outside this boundary were considered to represent background (tissue autofluorescence plus shot noise) and the mean pixel intensity value from the back- ground was then subtracted from the overall image. To quantify the response of the KCs a small, circular region of interest 6 – 8 pixels in diameter was applied to each cell body. This allowed aver- aging of the pixel intensity values from each cell, treating individual KCs as separate units. Care was taken to ensure that each selected cell re- mained within its region of interest over the whole imaging session. Response amplitudes were calculated as the mean change in fluorescence (dF/F) in the 0.5– 4.5 s window after stimulus onset. A statistical test originally described in Honegger et al. (2011) was used to determine whether a KC responded significantly on a given trial. Briefly, the SD of the baseline activity was obtained 8 s before stimulus onset. The response time course was then smoothed using a five-point running average to control for outliers. The peak dF/F in the 0.5– 4.5 s window after stimulus onset was determined. The response was judged to be significant if this peak was 2.33 SDs greater than the baseline, which corresponds to a one-tailed significance test where alpha = 0.01.</p> <p><br> <strong>References</strong></p> <p>Aso Y, Grübel K, Busch S, Friedrich AB, Siwanowicz I, Tanimoto H (2009) The mushroom body of adult Drosophila characterized by GAL4 drivers.

Rainforest phenology: flower, fruit and seed production from biweekly collections of 200 traps in the Yasuní Forest Dynamics Plot, Ecuador, 2000-2018
We provide data on flowering and fruiting phenology from an equatorial, ever-wet rainforest in eastern Ecuador, in Yasuni National Park. This is the first long-term study (18 years) of phenology in a diverse equatorial neotropical forest. Although the site is ever-wet, there is some seasonal variation in rainfall and irradiance. One major question was to determine whether the seasonal variation in climate was sufficient to drive seasonality in reproduction in this hyper-diverse forest. The study began in 2000 with various funding, and became an LTREB-funded project in 2006. We used twice monthly censuses of 200 traps to document phenology. Parts of >1000 species were identified in the traps in the 18 year period (ending early in 2018), including trees, shrubs, lianas and epiphytes. Parts identified included buds, flowers, mature fruits and mature seeds, and aborted, damaged and immature fruits and seeds. The project is on-going, and additional data will be added as it is processed.
Multiple Element Limitation in Northern Hardwood Ecosystems (MELNHE): Nitrogen and phosphorus additions affect fruiting of ectomycorrhizal fungi in a temperate hardwood forest, 2018
The functioning of mycorrhizal symbioses is tied to soil nutrient status, suggesting that nutrient availability should influence the reproduction of mycorrhizal fungi. To quantify the effects of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) availability on ectomycorrhizal fungal fruiting, we collected > 4,000 epigeous sporocarps representing 19 families during the course of a season in a full factorial NxP addition experiment in six replicate forest stands. Nutrient effects on fruiting shifted as the season progressed, with early fruiting species responding more to P and late-fruiting species responding more to N. The composition of species fruiting in young successional forests differed more with nutrient addition than in mature forests. Sporocarp abundance and species richness were suppressed by N addition. This work shows that N and P availability affect ectomycorrhizal fungal fruiting, with these effects taking place within a context defined by stand age and the progression of fruiting across the season. The data table in this data package contains the sprorocarp observation counts and biomass.
