Dataset used for the paper entitled "Morphological differences between wild and game-farm Mallards in North America". Large-scale releases of domesticated, game-farm Mallards to supplement wild populations have resulted in wide-spread introgressive hybridization that changed the genetic constitution of wild populations in eastern North America. The resulting gene flow is well-documented between game-farm and wild Mallards, but the mechanistic consequences from such interactions remain unknown in North America. We provide the first study to characterize and investigate potential differences in morphology between genetically known, wild and game-farm Mallards in North America. We used nine morphological measurements to discriminate between wild and game-farm Mallards with 96% accuracy. Compared to their wild counterparts, game-farm Mallards had longer bodies and tarsi, shorter heads and wings, and shorter, wider, and taller bills. The nail on the end of the bill of game-farm Mallards was longer, and game-farm Mallard bills had a greater lamellae:bill length ratio than wild Mallards. Differences in body morphologies between wild and game-farm Mallards are consistent with an artificial, terrestrial life whereby game-farm Mallards are fed pelleted foods resulting in artificial selection for a more “goose-like” bill. We posit that 1) game-farm Mallards have diverged from their wild ancestral traits of flying and filter feeding towards becoming optimized to run and peck for food; 2) game-farm morphological traits optimized over the last 400 years in domestic environments are likely to be maladaptive in the wild; and 3) the introgression of such traits into wild populations is likely to reduce fitness. Understanding effects of game-farm Mallard introgression requires analysis of various game-farm × wild hybrid generations to determine how domestically-derived traits persist or diminish with each generation.

This dataset contains measurements of water loss as white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) retroypharyngeal lymph nodes air-dried in a refrigerator for 31 days. Daily weights for lymph nodes are recorded every 24 hours, as are the variables "firmness" and "surface wetness". "Firmness" is a categorical variable measuring how much the tissue deforms to the touch (soft, medium, or hard). "Surface wetness" is the amount of visible moisture on the outside of the lymph node (all, some, or none). Lymph node weights were measured until their weights stabilized for 3 consecutive days at two decimal places (ex. 3.02, 3.02, 3.02) or until the weights fluctuated only by 0.01 (ex. 3.02, 3.03, 3.02). Lymph nodes were from northern Illinois white-tailed deer collected as part of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources' ongoing chronic wasting disease (CWD) management efforts.

___________________________________SUMMARY This dataset contains derivative data from concurrent fMRI and scalp EEG recordings used in: Mostame Parham, Wirsich Jonathan, Alderson Thomas H, Ridley Ben, Giraud Anne-Lise, Carmichael David W, Vulliemoz Serge, Guye Maxime, Lemieux Louis, Sadaghiani Sepideh (2024) A multiplex of connectome trajectories enables several connectivity patterns in parallel eLife 13:RP98777. doi: https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.98777.3 ___________________________________RAW DATA The data has been originally published and described as part of other studies (Morillon et al., 2010; Sadaghiani et al., 2012). Briefly, 10 minutes of eyes-closed resting state were analyzed from 26 healthy subjects (average age = 24.39 years; range: 18-31 years; 8 females) with no history of psychiatric or neurological disorders. Informed consent was given by each participant and the study was approved by the local Research Ethics Committee (CPP Ile de France III). FMRI was acquired using a 3T Siemens Tim Trio scanner with a GE-EPI pulse sequence (TR = 2 s; TE = 50 ms; 40 slices; 300 volumes; field of view: 192×192; voxel size: 3×3×3 mm3). Structural T1-weighted scan were acquired using the MPRAGE pulse sequence (176 slices; field of view: 256×256; voxel size: 1×1×1 mm3). 62-channel scalp EEG (Easycap, with an additional EOG and an ECG channel) was recorded using an MR-compatible amplifier (BrainAmp MR, Brain Products) at 5Hz sampling rate. ___________________________________PREPROCESSING fMRI and EEG data were preprocessed with standard preprocessing steps as explained in detail elsewhere (Wirsich et al., 2020). In brief, fMRI underwent standard slice-time correction, spatial realignment (SPM12, http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/software/spm12). Structural T1-weighted images were processed using Freesurfer (recon-all, v6.0.0, https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/) in order to perform non-uniformity and intensity correction, skull stripping and gray/white matter segmentation. The cortex was parcellated into 68 regions of the Desikan-Kiliany atlas (Desikan et al., 2006). This atlas was chosen because —as an anatomical parcellation— avoids biases towards one or the other functional data modality. The T1 images of each subject and the Desikan-Killiany were co-registered to the fMRI images (FSL-FLIRT 6.0.2, https://fsl.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl/fslwiki). We extracted signals of no interest such as the average signals of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and white matter from manually defined regions of interest (ROI, 5 mm sphere, Marsbar Toolbox 0.44, http://marsbar.sourceforge.net) and regressed out of the BOLD timeseries along with 6 rotation, translation motion parameters and global gray matter signal (Wirsich et al., 2017a). Then we bandpass-filtered the timeseries at 0.009–0.08 Hz. Average timeseries of each region was then used to calculate connectivity. EEG underwent gradient and cardio-ballistic artifact removal using Brain Vision Analyzer software (Allen et al., 1998, 2000) and was down-sampled to 250 Hz. EEG was projected into source space using the Tikhonov-regularized minimum norm in Brainstorm software (Baillet et al., 2001; Tadel et al., 2011). Source activity was then averaged to the 68 regions of the Desikan-Killiany atlas. Band-limited EEG signals in each canonical frequency band and every atlas region were then used to calculate frequency-specific connectome dynamics. Note that the MEG-ROI-nets toolbox in the OHBA Software Library (OSL; https://ohba-analysis.github.io/osl-docs/) was used to minimize source leakage in the band-limited source-localized EEG data (Colclough et al., 2015). ___________________________________FOLDER STRUCTURE The dataset includes five separate folders as described below: 1) EEGfMRI_dFC folder: connectome dynamics of scalp data This folder contains 26 single MATLAB (.mat) files for each subject. Inside each `.mat` is a structure with fields `A`, `B`, and `C`, corresponding to fMRI, amplitude-coupling, and phase-coupling connectome dynamics, respectively. The fMRI data are 3-dimensional (ROI × ROI × timepoints). The EEG data are stored in a 1×5 cell array (Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, Gamma), each cell containing a 3-D ROI × ROI × timepoints matrix. 2) EEGfMRI_dFC_SourceOrtho foldeR: connectome dynamics of source-orthogonalized scalp data Same format as above, except that EEG connectome dynamics are derived from source-orthogonalized signals. The MEG-ROI-nets toolbox in the OHBA Software Library (OSL; https://ohba-analysis.github.io/osl-docs/) was used to minimize source leakage in the band-limited, source-localized EEG data (Colclough et al., 2015). 3-5) Cross-modal Recurrence Plot (CRP) data Each subject has an Excel file with five sheets (Delta through Gamma), corresponding to the five frequency bands. Each sheet contains a 2-D CRP matrix (rows = fMRI timepoints, columns = band-limited EEG timepoints). - Scalp EEG–fMRI CRPs (CRP_EEGfMRI and CRP_EEGfMRI_SourceOrtho folder): two versions (with and without source-orthogonalization), each has 52 Excel files, including amplitude- and phase-coupling CRPs. - Intracranial EEG–fMRI CRPs (CRP_iEEGfMRI folder): one version, 27 Excel files, containing three cases: amplitude coupling, HRF-convolved amplitude coupling, and phase coupling.

Includes two files (.csv) behind all analyses and results in the paper published with the same title. <b>1) 'sites.species.counts'</b> is the raw 2018-2022 data from Angella Moorehouse (Illinois Nature Preserves Commission) including her 456 identified pollinator species and her raw counts per site (there may be a few errors of identification or naming, and there will always be name changes over time). Headers in columns F through Q correspond to the remnant-site labels in Figure 1 and Table 1 of the paper. Columns R to AB are the “nonremnant” sites, which have not been uniquely labelled since the specific sites aren't referenced anywhere in the manuscript. <b>2) 'C.scores'</b> has the 265 species assigned empirical C values (empirical.C) along with the four sets of expert C values and their confidence ranks (low, medium, high), and the Illinois/Indiana conservation ranks (S-ranks), following the methods described in the paper. Other headers in these files: - taxa.code: four-letter abbreviation for genus and specific name - genus: genus name - species: specific epithet - common.name: English name - group: general pollinator taxa group - empirical.C: empirically estimated conservatism score - expert#.C: conservatism score assigned by each of four experts - expert#.conf: expert's confidence in their conservatism score Blank cells in the site-species abundance matrix indicates species absence (or non-detection) Blank cells in C.scores.csv indicates missing S-ranks and unassigned C-scores (with associated missing confidence ranks) where experts lacked knowledge or confidence

Coagulation testing (VCM Vet™) was performed on 57 horses with acute abdominal pain at admission to the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Additional clinical data were recorded retrospectively. ROC analysis was performed to determine the optimal number of abnormal coagulation parameters for coagulopathy diagnosis based on survival. General linear regression (GLM) and random forest (RF) classification models were developed to predict short-term survival. A training cohort of 40 horses was used for model development, and model performance was determined using the remaining 17 horses.
