As different species may find similar phenotypic solutions through evolution to tolerate, persist in and invade environments with certain characteristics, some traits may become more common in certain types of habitats. These general patterns of geographical trait distribution point towards the existence of some rules in how plants diversify in space over time. Trait-environment correlation analyses are ways to discover general rules in plant biogeography by quantifying to what extent unrelated lineages have similar evolutionary responses to a given type of habitat. In this synthesis, I give a short historical overview on trait-environment correlation analyses, from some key observations from classic naturalists to modern approaches using trait evolution models, large phylogenies, and massive datasets of traits and distributions. I discuss some limitations of modern approaches, including the need for more realistic models, the lack of data from tropical areas, and the necessary focus on trait scoring that goes beyond macro-morphology. Overcoming these limitations will allow the field to explore new questions related to trait lability and niche evolution and to better set apart rules and exceptions in how plants diversify in space over time.",2022-09-30T02:17:54.240993,2023-02-14T22:40:35.879667,2022-09-30T21:01:00.348079,,,ecoevorxiv,0,withdrawn,1,1,https://doi.org/10.32942/osf.io/azytc,CC-By Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International,,[],Thais Vasconcelos,"[{""id"": ""d96uh"", ""name"": ""Thais Vasconcelos"", ""index"": 0, ""orcid"": null, ""bibliographic"": true}]",Thais Vasconcelos,Life Sciences; Ecology and Evolutionary Biology; Biodiversity,"[{""id"": ""584240da54be81056cecaab0"", ""text"": ""Life Sciences""}, {""id"": ""584240da54be81056cecaaec"", ""text"": ""Ecology and Evolutionary Biology""}, {""id"": ""584240da54be81056cecac01"", ""text"": ""Biodiversity""}]",,0,,not_applicable,not_applicable,[],,2025-04-09T20:50:17.161341 d7rh6_v1,The March of the Human Footprint,"Human influence is driving planetary change, often in undesirable and unsustainable ways.

However, the invasion in California remained confined to the Colorado and water systems throughout southern California that receive water from the Colorado River until December 2013, when quagga mussels were first observed in Lake Piru, a reservoir in the Santa Clara River watershed of Ventura County, California. This paper describes population dynamics in Lake Piru and spread within the Santa Clara watershed over the first seven years since invasion. There was an initial boom period in the first year after colonization, with the highest densities and settlement rates between 2014 and 2017, a period of low and relatively stable lake water levels. Lake Piru’s temperature, oxygen, and water chemistry conditions were consistently within preferred bounds for quagga mussels. The mussel population initially expanded on hard substrates and eventually onto soft sediments as mussels attached to debris and each other. The peak settlement rate (June 2015, 1.9 x 105 mussels m-2 month-1) in Lake Piru was within the range observed in Lake Mead (1 x 104 – 1 x 106 mussels m-2 month-1) during the initial invasion, but typically settlement was 10-100 times lower than rates observed in Lake Mead. Despite these lower settling rates, within 2 years of detection (late 2015), mussels were regularly found on soft sediments. However, a fill event in 2017 dramatically increased the lake level and lead to substantial sediment deposition, which smothered the mussels on soft sediments and reduced the overall mussel population relative to the lake volume. Veligers (and settlement rates) were extremely low during the initial fill period, but rebounded within 6 months, despite relatively low levels of reproductive mussels observed in the lake. Large mussels were rare in 2018-2019, likely due to increased mortality during 2017, and the size distribution remained biased towards small size classes into 2021. Environmental conditions (particularly fill status and water temperature), rather than adult density, appear to be the primary driver of veliger abundance in this system, while recruitment was primarily explained by veliger abundance. While lake level fluctuations have potential to control the mussel population in the lake to some extent, lowering lake levels requires extended periods of elevated base flow as well as out-of-season water releases. These elevated water releases increase the flux of veligers into the creek and lead to downstream recruitment, particularly when veliger abundance is high. While seems relatively unlikely that quaggas will establish and reproduce in the Santa Clara River itself due to the unstable bed, highly fluctuating flows, and lack of lentic habitat needed for reproduction, periodic colonization within the river occurs, and is likely to lead to infestations in water systems that directly take in raw river water.",2022-09-29T01:05:11.521772,2023-02-14T22:43:05.768330,2022-09-29T20:38:24.415684,,,ecoevorxiv,0,withdrawn,1,1,https://doi.org/10.32942/osf.io/wzdcp,CC-By Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International,Dreissenid mussels; invasive species; population dynamics; veligers,"[""Dreissenid mussels"", ""invasive species"", ""population dynamics"", ""veligers""]",Michael Booth; Carolynn S.

Here we review and critically evaluate barcode designs as well as methods of barcode sequencing and initial processing of barcode data. We first demonstrate how various barcode design decisions affect data quality and propose a new optimal design that balances all considerations that we are currently aware of. We then discuss various options for the preparation of barcode sequencing libraries, including inline indices and Unique Molecular Identifiers (UMIs). Our main conclusion is that the utility of inline indices is high whereas that of UMIs is low. Finally, we test the performance of several established and new bioinformatic pipelines for the extraction of barcodes from raw sequencing reads and for error correction. We find that both alignment and regular expression-based approaches work well for barcode extraction, and that error correction pipelines designed specifically for barcode data are superior to generic ones.

Yet, ecological and evolutionary theory remain largely separated, which constrains the development of integrative research. To overcome this separation, I suggest treating the entangled dynamics as a single eco-evolutionary process rather than as separate ecological and evolutionary processes connected by feedbacks. I propose a unified conceptual framework that integrates ecological and evolutionary processes at population and community levels by considering which of them result from the same individual-based process. The resulting framework is a means to understand the entangled dynamics through the interaction of five basic eco-evolutionary processes: natural selection, drift, dispersal, gene transfer, and mutation. The framework reveals relationships between existing theories and models, provides simple means to discuss complex dynamics, and outlines a holistic approach to major topics including diversity, stability, and stochasticity.

Invasive genetic sampling techniques have potential to negatively impact individuals, which may be prohibitive when working with threatened and endangered species. Prior to sample collection, project managers must try to balance the negative impact on individuals included in the study with the demand for DNA and the difficulty of obtaining samples. Although established methods for blood and tissue collection in reptiles meet the need for high-quantity and quality DNA, they inherently require longer handling times and more skill to obtain. Thus, non-invasive DNA collection methods, such as cloacal swabs, may be preferred when animal welfare is a priority. Cloacal swabs are quicker, easier, require less training and reduce handling time. To evaluate cloacal swabbing as an alternative to collecting blood, we obtained both cloacal and blood swabs. We extracted DNA from cloacal and blood cells that were collected from 23 Timber Rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus). We assessed DNA by purity (A260/A280), concentration, and microsatellite genotyping. Our results show high-quality DNA can be obtained from both cloacal swabs and blood samples, but quality and concentration of DNA was significantly lower from cloacal swabs. Further, degradation and contamination affects the performance of cloacal DNA when compared to blood DNA in microsatellite-based genotyping.

The social environments in which animals interact may favor different types of information, but whether identity information conveyed in learned signals is resilient or responsive to short-term changes in the social environment is not well understood. We inferred the type of identity information that was most salient in vocal signals by combining computational tools, including supervised machine learning, with a conceptual framework of “hierarchical mapping”, or patterns of relative acoustic convergence across social scales. We used populations of an invasive vocal learning species as a natural experiment to test whether social environments altered over ecological timescales changed the type of identity information that different populations emphasized in learned vocalizations. We compared the social scales with the most salient identity information among native and invasive range monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) calls recorded in Uruguay and the United States, respectively. We also evaluated whether the identity information emphasized in invasive range calls changed over time. To place our findings in an evolutionary context, we benchmarked our results with another parrot species that exhibits well-established and distinctive regional vocal dialects that are consistent with signaling group identity. We found that native and invasive range monk parakeet calls both displayed the strongest convergence at the individual scale and minimal convergence within sites. We did not identify changes in the strength of acoustic convergence within sites over time in the invasive range calls.

Here, we provide a case study of how the biodiversity data aggregator the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) has supported the growth of citizen science over the past decade. We show that around one quarter of data collection projects provide around half of all species observation records in the ALA, supplementing specimen-based data to provide more comprehensive visualisation of species distributions. We then discuss how large data aggregators like the ALA support common challenges of the citizen science community by implementing tools to standardise complex data, safely store sensitive data, and improve participation and discoverability of citizen science data. Our findings demonstrate the importance of investment in research infrastructure to support and augment the scientific value of the citizen science movement globally.",2022-09-23T03:49:33.661587,2023-02-14T22:47:01.605785,2022-09-23T20:08:29.665874,,,ecoevorxiv,0,withdrawn,1,1,https://doi.org/10.32942/osf.io/ny9v8,CC-By Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International,citizen science; data; environmental monitoring; open science; research infrastructure,"[""citizen science"", ""data"", ""environmental monitoring"", ""open science"", ""research infrastructure""]",Erin Roger; Cameron Slayter; Dax Kellie; Peter Brenton; Elycia Wallis; Olivia Torresan; Andre Zerger,"[{""id"": ""47k6a"", ""name"": ""Erin Roger"", ""index"": 0, ""orcid"": null, ""bibliographic"": true}, {""id"": ""wv34u"", ""name"": ""Cameron Slayter"", ""index"": 1, ""orcid"": null, ""bibliographic"": true}, {""id"": ""fxwjr"", ""name"": ""Dax Kellie"", ""index"": 2, ""orcid"": ""0000-0001-7408-273X"", ""bibliographic"": true}, {""id"": ""5gak7"", ""name"": ""Peter Brenton"", ""index"": 3, ""orcid"": null, ""bibliographic"": true}, {""id"": ""rje8g"", ""name"": ""Elycia Wallis"", ""index"": 4, ""orcid"": null, ""bibliographic"": true}, {""id"": ""cdexg"", ""name"": ""Olivia Torresan"", ""index"": 5, ""orcid"": null, ""bibliographic"": true}, {""id"": ""d832h"", ""name"": ""Andre Zerger"", ""index"": 6, ""orcid"": null, ""bibliographic"": true}]",Erin Roger,Life Sciences; Ecology and Evolutionary Biology,"[{""id"": ""584240da54be81056cecaab0"", ""text"": ""Life Sciences""}, {""id"": ""584240da54be81056cecaaec"", ""text"": ""Ecology and Evolutionary Biology""}]",,1,All authors are employed by the Atlas of Living Australia but otherwise have no competing interests to declare.,available,no,[],,2025-04-09T20:49:32.752013
