These are the responses to an open, convenience sample survey of residents of Illinois to understand their interactions with wild deer. The survey was available on REDCap between December 19, 2022 and December 19, 2023, and was publicized through listserves, Facebook groups, and media reporting.
The file "COVID Deer Survey _ REDCap.pdf" contains the codebook for the survey, including the questions; all factor variables have ".factor" added to their name in the dataset. The file "DeerSurveyData.csv" contains the dataset. The file "Score_calculation_for_sharing.R" is the code to create the cleaned dataset used for analysis from the raw survey responses. Throughout, NA is used to represent null/not available/not applicable; this is most likely either a failure to answer the question or, in some cases, a question that was not presented as it is not relevant based on answers to previous questions.

These data were collected in 2018 and 2019 at the University of Illinois Energy Farm (N 40.063607, W 88.206926). During each growing season, bulk and rhizosphere soil were collected from replicate Sorghum bicolor nitrogen use efficiency trial plots at three separate time points (approximately July 1, August 1, and September 1). We measured soil moisture, pH, soil nitrate and ammonium, potential nitrification, potential denitrification, and extracted and sequenced the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene for microbial community analysis. All microbial sequence data is archived in the National Center for Biotechnology Information’s (NCBI) Sequence Read Archive (accession number SRP326979, project number PRJNA741261).

The effect of pesticide contamination on arthropod biomass and diversity in simulated prairie restorations depended on arthropod feeding guild (e.g., predator, herbivore, or pollinator). The pesticides used in this study were the neonicotinoid insecticide clothianidin and the phthalimide fungicide captan. This dataset includes two data files. The first contains information about the study sites ("plots") and pesticide treatments. The second contains information about arthropod biomass and morphospecies richness separated by feeding guild for each month-plot combination. R code in an R Markdown file for the analysis and data presentation in the associated publication is also provided. Detected effects included: predator biomass was 66% lower in plots treated with clothianidin, and this effect persisted across the growing season; the impact on herbivore biomass appeared to be inconsistent, with biomass being 51% lower with clothianidin in June but no detected difference in July or August; herbivore morphospecies richness was 12% lower in plots treated with both clothianidin and captain; pollinators appeared to be unaffected by clothianidin; and pollinator biomass increased by 71% when captan was applied to a plot.

Rhodotorula toruloides has been increasingly explored as a host for bioproduction of lipids, fatty acid derivatives and terpenoids. Various genetic tools have been developed, but neither a centromere nor an autonomously replicating sequence (ARS), both necessary elements for stable episomal plasmid maintenance, has yet been reported. In this study, cleavage under targets and release using nuclease (CUT&RUN), a method used for genome-wide mapping of DNA–protein interactions, was used to identify R. toruloides IFO0880 genomic regions associated with the centromeric histone H3 protein Cse4, a marker of centromeric DNA. Fifteen putative centromeres ranging from 8 to 19 kb in length were identified and analyzed, and four were tested for, but did not show, ARS activity. These centromeric sequences contained below average GC content, corresponded to transcriptional cold spots, were primarily nonrepetitive and shared some vestigial transposon-related sequences but otherwise did not show significant sequence conservation. Future efforts to identify an ARS in this yeast can utilize these centromeric DNA sequences to improve the stability of episomal plasmids derived from putative ARS elements.

This dataset contains experimental measurements used in the paper, "Ultra-sensitivity of Numerical Landscape Evolution Models to their Initial Conditions." (to be submitted).
The data is taken from experimental runs in a miniature landscape model named the eXperimental Landscape Evolution (XLE) facility. In this facility, we complete five >24hr runs at 5 minute temporal resolution. Every five minutes, an planform image was capture, and a digital elevation model (DEM) was generated. For each run, images and a corresponding animation of images are documented. In addition,ASCII formatted DEMs along with color hillshade maps were generated. The hillshade map images were also made into an animation.
This dataset is associated with the following publication: https://doi.org/10.1029/2019GL083305

Dataset associated with "Hiding in plain sight: genetic confirmation of putative Louisiana Fatmucket Lampsilis hydiana in Illinois" as submitted to Freshwater Mollusk Biology and Conservation by Stodola et al. Images are from cataloged specimens from the Illinois Natural History Survey (INHS) Mollusk Collection in Champaign, Illinois that were used for genetic research. File names indicate the species as confirmed in Stodola et al. (i.e., Lampsilis siliquoidea or Lampsilis hydiana) followed by the INHS Mollusk Collection catalog number, followed by the individual specimen number, followed by shell view (interior or exterior). If no specimen number is noted in the file name, there is only one specimen for that catalog number. For example: Lsiliquoidea_46515_1_2_3_exterior.
Images were created by photographing specimens on a metric grid in an OrTech Photo-e-Box Plus with a Nikon D610 single lens reflex camera using a 60mm lens. Post-processing of images (cropping, image rotation, and auto contrast) occurred in Adobe Photoshop and saved as TIFF files using no image compression, interleaved pixel order, and IBM PC Byte Order. One additional partial lot, INHS Mollusk Catalog No. 37059 (shown with both interior and exterior view in one image), is included for reference but was not genetically sequenced. A .csv file contains an index of all specimens photographed.

The included files were used to reconstruct the phylogeny of Coelidiinae using combined morphological and molecular data, estimate divergence times and reconstruct ancestral biogeographic areas as described in the manuscript submitted for publication. The file “Coelidiinae_dna_morph_combined.nex” is a text file in standard NEXUS format used by various phylogenetic analysis programs. This file includes the aligned and concatenated nucleotide sequences or five gene regions (mitochondrial COI and 16S, and nuclear 28S D-2, histone H3, histone H2A and wingless) indicated by standard “ACGT” nucleotide symbols with missing data indicated by “?”, and morphological character data as defined in Table S3 used in the analyses. The data partitions are indicated toward the end of the file by ranges of numbers (“charset Subset 1 – 4” for the DNA data and “charset morph” for the morphological characters) followed by commands for the phylogenetic analysis program MrBayes that specify the model settings for each data partition. Detailed data on species included (as rows) in the dataset, including collection localities and GenBank accession numbers are provided in the Table_S1_Specimen_information.csv file. The file "TablesS2-S4.pdf" lists the primers used for polymerase chain reaction amplification, the list of morphological character definitions, and the morphological character matrix. The file “RASP_Distribution.csv” contains a list of the species included in the phylogenetic dataset (first column) and a code (second column) indicating their distributions as follows: (A) Oriental, (B) Palaearctic, (C) Australian, (D) Afrotropical, (E) Neotropical, and (F) Nearctic. More than one letter indicates that the species occurs in more than one region. The file "infile_for_BEAST.txt" is the input file in XML format used for the molecular divergence time analysis using the program BEAST (Bayesian Evolutionary Analysis by Sampling Trees) as described in the Methods section of the manuscript. This file includes comments that document the steps of the analysis.

Contains a series of datasets that score pairs of tokens (words, journal names, and controlled vocabulary terms) based on how often they co-occur within versus across authors' collections of papers. The tokens derive from four different fields of PubMed papers: journal, affiliation, title, MeSH (medical subject headings). Thus, there are 10 different datasets, one for each pair of token type: affiliation-word vs affiliation-word, affiliation-word vs journal, affiliation-word vs mesh, affiliation-word vs title-word, mesh vs mesh, mesh vs journal, etc.
Using authors to link papers and in turn pairs of tokens is an alternative to the usual within-document co-occurrences, and using e.g., citations to link papers. This is particularly striking for journal pairs because a paper almost always appears in a single journal and so within-document co-occurrences are 0, i.e., useless.
The tokens are taken from the Author-ity 2009 dataset which has a cluster of papers for each inferred author, and a summary of each field. For MeSH, title-words, affiliation-words that summary includes only the top-20 most frequent tokens after field-specific stoplisting (e.g., university is stoplisted from affiliation and Humans is stoplisted from MeSH). The score for a pair of tokens A and B is defined as follows. Suppose Ai and Bi are the number of occurrences of token A (and B, respectively) across the i-th author's papers, then
nA = sum(Ai); nB = sum(Ai)
nAB = sum(Ai*Bi) if A not equal B; nAA = sum(Ai*(Ai-1)/2) otherwise
nAnB = nA*nB if A not equal B; nAnA = nA*(nA-1)/2 otherwise
score = 1000000*nAB/nAnB if A is not equal B; 1000000*nAA/nAnA otherwise
Token pairs are excluded when: score < 5, or nA < cut-off, or nB < cut-off, or nAB < cut-offAB.
The cut-offs differ for token types and can be inferred from the datasets. For example, cut-off = 200 and cut-offAB = 20 for journal pairs.
Each dataset has the following 7 tab-delimited all-ASCII columns
1: score: roughly the number tokens' co-occurrence divided by the total number of pairs, in parts per million (ppm), ranging from 5 to 1,000,000
2: nAB: total number of co-occurrences
3: nAnB: total number of pairs
4: nA: number of occurrences of token A
5: nB: number of occurrences of token B
6: A: token A
7: B: token B
We made some of these datasets as early as 2011 as we were working to link PubMed authors with USPTO inventors, where the vocabulary usage is strikingly different, but also more recently to create links from PubMed authors to their dissertations and NIH/NSF investigators, and to help disambiguate PubMed authors. Going beyond explicit (exact within-field match) is particularly useful when data is sparse (think old papers lacking controlled vocabulary and affiliations, or papers with metadata written in different languages) and when making links across databases with different kinds of fields and vocabulary (think PubMed vs USPTO records). We never published a paper on this but our work inspired the more refined measures described in:

The success of a bioenergy policy relies largely on the wide adoption of perennial energy crops at the farm scale. This study uses survey data to examine potential adoption decisions by farmers in the U.S. Midwest and the causal effects of various direct and indirect influencing factors, especially heterogeneous preferences of farmers. A Bayesian network (BN) model is developed to delineate the causal relationship between farmers adoption decisions and the influencing factors. We find a dominating role of economic factors and a non-negligible impact of non-economic factors, such as the perceived environmental benefits and the extent of familiarity with perennial energy crops. To examine the effect of heterogeneity in farmer preferences, we classify the surveyed farmers into four categories based on their attitudes toward the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of perennial energy crops. We identified statistically significant between-group differences in the responses of the four types of farmers to the various influencing factors. Our findings contribute to disentangling the complicated motivations that will influence perennial energy crop adoption decisions and provide implications for more targeted policy development that need to consider the heterogeneous drivers of farmer decisions about land use.
