This dataset contains ecological and demographic data for William’s bright‑eyed frog (Boophis williamsi), a critically endangered amphibian restricted to the Ankaratra Massif in Madagascar’s central highlands. Field surveys were conducted between September 2018 – March 2019 and July 2021 across ten 100‑m stream transects to estimate abundance and identify habitat associations for both tadpoles and adult frogs. Data include repeated counts of individuals and associated habitat variables (e.g., canopy cover, substrate type, stream depth, discharge, and temperature). Abundance was estimated using N‑mixture models implemented in R (version 4.3.1) with the ubms package, with separate models for tadpoles and frogs to account for differences in detection probability. The dataset consists of multiple CSV files capturing microhabitat, environmental variables, and raw survey count data (y_frogs.csv and y_tadpoles.csv) and an R script (boophis_abundance.R) used for model fitting. The dataset was compiled for an article accepted in the Herpetological Journal by the British Herpetological Society and is intended to support long‑term monitoring and conservation planning for B. williamsi and other threatened amphibians in Madagascar available at https://doi.org/10.33256/36.2.8797

Hype - PubMed dataset
Prepared by Apratim Mishra
This dataset captures ‘Hype’ within biomedical abstracts sourced from PubMed. The selection chosen is ‘journal articles’ written in English, published between 1975 and 2019, totaling ~5.2 million. The classification relies on the presence of specific candidate ‘hype words’ and their abstract location. Therefore, each article (PMID) might have multiple instances in the dataset due to the presence of multiple hype words in different abstract sentences.
The candidate hype words are 35 in count: 'major', 'novel', 'central', 'critical', 'essential', 'strongly', 'unique', 'promising', 'markedly', 'excellent', 'crucial', 'robust', 'importantly', 'prominent', 'dramatically', 'favorable', 'vital', 'surprisingly', 'remarkably', 'remarkable', 'definitive', 'pivotal', 'innovative', 'supportive', 'encouraging', 'unprecedented', 'enormous', 'exceptional', 'outstanding', 'noteworthy', 'creative', 'assuring', 'reassuring', 'spectacular', and 'hopeful’.

Large, distributed microphone arrays could offer dramatic advantages for audio source separation, spatial audio capture, and human and machine listening applications. This dataset contains acoustic measurements and speech recordings from 10 loudspeakers and 160 microphones spread throughout a large, reverberant conference room.
The distributed microphone system contains two types of array: four wearable microphone arrays of 16 sensors each placed near the ears and across the upper body, and twelve tabletop arrays of 8 microphones each in enclosures designed to resemble voice-assistant speakers. The dataset includes recordings of chirps that can be used to measure impulse responses and of speech clips derived from the CSTR VCTK corpus. The speech clips are recorded both individually and as a mixture to support source separation experiments.
The uncompressed files are about 13.4 GB.

Plant species and floral traits shape arthropod communities in restored prairies more than neonicotinoid contamination. Using a manipulated field experiment in an established prairie in Champaign Co., IL, we compared the importance of clothianidin contamination and floral traits on arthropod feeding guild abundances and community structure.
These datasets contain observations of insects and plants collected during all sampling periods throughout the experiment (JT-HT_Insect_Sampling_2022.csv) and combined feeding guild abundances and floral variables by sample (JT-HT_SEM_Data.csv). The columns in the individual observation dataset include: sampling date, plot number, treatment (1 = CLO for Clothianidin; 0 = CONT for Control), flower abundance, order, superfamily, family, genus, species, and assigned feeding guild. There were inconsistencies in insect determinations and taxonomic resolution among the observations. Cells left empty due to undetermined taxonomic resolution are filled with a period.
Additional supporting information—such as seed set, aboveground plant biomass, clothianidin tissue levels, sample design, and proposed structural models—can be found through the publisher. The columns for the combined variables by sample include: Plot #, Plant (USDA plant code), Treatment, Treat (binary variable of treatment required by the R package), Average Seed Set, Plant Dry Weight (in grams), Heads (number of individual flower units), Inflorescences (number of grouped flowering units), Herbivore, Ants, Omnivore, Pollinator, Predator, and Omni. R code for running analyses (SEMs, PERMANOVA) and plot visualization are also provided.

We apply prospect theory to examining farmers’ economic incentives to divert a share of their land to bioenergy crops (miscanthus and switchgrass in this study). Numerical simulation is conducted for 1,919 rain‐fed U.S. counties to identify the impact of loss aversion on bioenergy crop adoption, and how this impact is influenced by biomass price, discount rate, credit constraint status, and policy instruments. Results show that ignoring farmer’s loss aversion causes overestimation of miscanthus production but underestimation of switchgrass production, particularly when farmers are credit constrained and have a high discount rate. We find that establishment cost subsidy induces more miscanthus production whereas subsidized energy crop insurance induces more switchgrass production. The efficacy of these two policy instruments, measured by biomass production increased by per dollar of government outlay, depends on the magnitude of farmers’ loss aversion and discount rate.

Nitrogenous fertilizers provide a short-lived benefit to crops in agroecosystems, but stimulate nitrification and denitrification, processes that result in nitrate pollution, N2O production, and reduced soil fertility. Recent advances in plant microbiome science suggest that genetic variation in plants can modulate the composition and activity of rhizosphere N-cycling microorganisms. Here we attempted to determine whether genetic variation exists in Zea mays for the ability to influence the rhizosphere nitrifier and denitrifier microbiome under “real-world” conventional agricultural conditions.
To capture an extensive amount of genetic diversity within maize we grew and sampled the rhizosphere microbiome of a diversity panel of germplasm that included ex-PVP inbreds (Z. mays ssp. mays), ex-PVP hybrids (Z. mays ssp. mays), and teosinte (Z. mays ssp. mexicana and Z. mays ssp. parviglumis). From these samples, we characterized the microbiome, a suite of microbial genes involved in nitrification and denitrification and carried out N-cycling potential assays.
Here we are showing that populations/genotypes of a single species can vary in their ecological interaction with denitrifers and nitrifers. Some hybrid and teosinte genotypes supported microbial communities with lower potential nitrification and potential denitrification activity in the rhizosphere, while inbred genotypes stimulated/did not inhibit these N-cycling activities. These potential differences translated to functional differences in N2O fluxes, with teosinte plots producing less GHG than maize plots.
Taken together, these results suggest that Zea genetic variation can lead to changes in N-cycling processes that result in N leaching and N2O production, and thereby are selectable targets for crop improvement. Understanding the underlying genetic variation contributing to belowground microbiome N-cycling into our conventional agricultural system could be useful for sustainability.

This file contains the delta 15N values for leaf material collected from Cyathea rojasiana tree ferns before and after fertilization using ammonium -15N chloride solution to determine whether 15N update is possible from senescent leaves.
Details of the experiment are provided in the online supplement to the published paper. Briefly, In February 2022 we selected three mature C. rojasiana individuals 1-1.5m in height that had leaves rooted in the soil and one new developing (but unexpanded) leaf. For each fern, two plastic pots (10 x 10 x 12 cm) were filled with a 50:50 mixture of washed river sand and soil from the Chorro watershed. For each pot, one senescent leaf that was rooted in the soil was carefully excavated and its roots transplanted into the pot. Pots were then fertilized by adding 30 ml of a 0.02 M 15N solution of ammonium-15N chloride (98% 15N; Sigma-Aldrich 299251; St Louis, MO) to yield a target concentration of 2 µg15N cm-3 of soil. After fertilization pots were carefully enclosed within thick plastic bags, and sealed around the senescent leaf rachis to prevent leaching any of 15N from the pot to the surrounding soil.
At the time of N fertilization, pinnae of the youngest fully expanded leaf were collected from each fern. One pinna was collected from the base of the leaf and one from the distal end of the leaf. In March 2022, after 28 days the roots were removed from pots and two additional leaf pinnae sampled from each fern: one from the base and one from the distal end of the youngest (now fully expanded) leaf. Leaf samples were dried for 72 hours at 60 C and then leaf lamina tissue finely ground with a bead beater. The delta 15N for each leaf sample determined at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign using a Thermo Delta V Advantage IRMS run in combination with a Costech 4010 Elemental Analyzer. Samples were run in continuous flow relative to laboratory standards that were calibrated with USGS 40, 41, and NBS 19 reference materials.

Producing enantioenriched molecules from racemic mixtures is essential for manufacturing. Traditional methods such as resolution, deracemization and enantioconvergent catalysis primarily involve separating or converting enantiomers without altering their structures, or functionalization of stereocentres at or proximal to functional groups. However, there are challenges in enantioselectively forging C–H bonds that are remote from functional groups via hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) with these methods. Here we introduce a strategy for the photoenzymatic stereoablative enantioconvergence of γ-chiral oximes using repurposed flavin-dependent ene-reductases. A photoinduced single-electron reduction of the γ-chiral oxime by an ene-reductase generates an iminyl radical, which then undergoes stereoablative 1,5-HAT at the γ-stereocentre. Subsequent chiral reconstruction through enzymatic HAT and spontaneous imine hydrolysis yields the γ-chiral ketone with high enantioselectivity. This work provides a robust method for remote stereoablative enantioconvergent HAT and broadens the synthetic utility of photobiocatalysis.

Rubisco activase (Rca) facilitates the release of sugar-phosphate inhibitors at Rubisco catalytic sites during CO2 fixation. Most plant species express two Rca isoforms, the larger Rca-α and the shorter Rca-β, either by alternative splicing from a single gene or expression from separate genes. The mechanism of Rubisco activation by Rca isoforms has been intensively studied in C3 plants. However, the functional role of Rca in C4 plants where Rubisco and Rca are located in a much higher [CO2] compartment is less clear. In this study, we selected four C4 bioenergy grasses and the model C4 grass setaria (Setaria viridis) to investigate the role of Rca in C4 photosynthesis. All five C4 grass species contained two Rca genes, one encoding Rca-α and the other Rca-β, which were positioned closely together in the genomes. A variety of abiotic stress-related motifs were identified in the Rca-α promoter of each grass, and while the Rca-β gene was constantly highly expressed at ambient temperature, Rca-α isoforms were expressed only at high temperature but never surpassed 30% of Rca-β content. The pattern of Rca-α induction on transition to high temperature and reduction on return to ambient temperature was the same in all five C4 grasses. In sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum), and setaria, the induction rate of Rca-α was similar to the recovery rate of photosynthesis and Rubisco activation at high temperature. This association between Rca-α isoform expression and maintenance of Rubisco activation at high temperature suggests that Rca-α has a functional thermo-protective role in carbon fixation in C4 grasses by sustaining Rubisco activation at high temperature.

Biomass crops engineered to accumulate energy-dense triacylglycerols (TAG or ‘vegetable oils’) in their vegetative tissues have emerged as potential feedstocks to meet the growing demand for renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Unlike oil palm and oilseed crops, the current commercial sources of TAG, vegetative tissues, such as leaves and stems, only transiently accumulate TAG. In this report, we used grain (Texas430 or TX430) and sugar-accumulating ‘sweet’ (Ramada) genotypes of sorghum, a high-yielding, environmentally resilient biomass crop, to accumulate TAG in leaves and stems. We initially tested several gene combinations for a ‘push-pull-protect’ strategy. The top TAG-yielding constructs contained five oil transgenes for a sorghum WRINKLED1 transcription factor (‘push’), a Cuphea viscosissima diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT; ‘pull’), a modified sesame oleosin (‘protect’) and two combinations of specialized Cuphea lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferases and medium-chain acyl-acyl carrier protein thioesterases. Though intended to generate oils with medium-chain fatty acids, engineered lines accumulated oleic acid-rich oil to amounts of up to 2.5% DW in leaves and 2.0% DW in stems in the greenhouse, 36-fold and 49-fold increases relative to wild-type (WT) plants, respectively. Under field conditions, the top-performing event accumulated TAG to amount to 5.5% DW in leaves and 3.5% DW in stems, 78-fold and 58-fold increases, respectively, relative to WT TX430. Transcriptomic and fluxomic analyses revealed potential bottlenecks for increased TAG accumulation. Overall, our studies highlight the utility of a lab-to-field pipeline coupled with systems biology studies to deliver high vegetative oil sorghum for SAF and renewable diesel production.

Yarrowia lipolytica, an oleaginous yeast, shows promise for industrial fermentation due to its robust acetyl-CoA flux and well-developed genetic engineering tools. However, its lack of an active xylose metabolism restricts the conversion of cellulosic sugars to valuable products. To address this, metabolic engineering, and adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) were applied to the Y. lipolytica PO1f strain, resulting in an efficient xylose-assimilating strain (XEV). Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of the XEV followed by reverse engineering revealed that the amplification of the heterologous oxidoreductase pathway and a mutation in the GTPase-activating protein gene (YALI0B12100g) might be the primary reasons for improved xylose assimilation in the XEV strain. When a sorghum hydrolysate was used, the XEV strain showed superior xylose consumption and lipid production compared to its parental strain (X123). This study advances our understanding of xylose metabolism in Y. lipolytica and proposes effective metabolic engineering strategies for optimizing lignocellulosic hydrolysates.
