The effect of heterospecific and conspecific competition on inter-individual differences in tungara frog tadpole () behavior.

Repeated social interactions with conspecifics and/or heterospecifics during early development may drive the differentiation of behavior among individuals. Competition is a major form of social interaction and its impacts can depend on whether interactions occur between conspecifics or heterospecifics and the directionality of a response could be specific to the ecological context that they are measured in. To test this, we reared tungara frog tadpoles () either in isolation, with a conspecific tadpole or with an aggressive heterospecific tadpole, the whistling frog tadpole ().

Data for crystallisation, dissolution and saturation temperatures of a model fuel comprising eicosane crystallising from supersaturated toluene solutions in the presence of a cold-flow improver additive.

The data presented in this article relates to the crystallisation of the long chain hydrocarbon eicosane (CH), from supersaturated toluene solutions in the absence/presence of a commercially available cold-flow improver additive (IA) at different solution treat rates. Data was collected for treat rates of 0, 0.1, 0.

Seasonal Arctic sea ice forecasting with probabilistic deep learning.

Anthropogenic warming has led to an unprecedented year-round reduction in Arctic sea ice extent. This has far-reaching consequences for indigenous and local communities, polar ecosystems, and global climate, motivating the need for accurate seasonal sea ice forecasts. While physics-based dynamical models can successfully forecast sea ice concentration several weeks ahead, they struggle to outperform simple statistical benchmarks at longer lead times.

Sounding out life in the deep using acoustic data from ships of opportunity.

Shedding light on the distribution and ecosystem function of mesopelagic communities in the twilight zone (~200-1000 m depth) of global oceans can bridge the gap in estimates of species biomass, trophic linkages, and carbon sequestration role. Ocean basin-scale bioacoustic data from ships of opportunity programs are increasingly improving this situation by providing spatio-temporal calibrated acoustic snapshots of mesopelagic communities that can mutually complement established global ecosystem, carbon, and biogeochemical models. This data descriptor provides an overview of such bioacoustic data from Australia's Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) Ships of Opportunity (SOOP) Bioacoustics sub-Facility.

Septoria Nodorum Blotch of Wheat: Disease Management and Resistance Breeding in the Face of Shifting Disease Dynamics and a Changing Environment.

The fungus is a narrow host range necrotrophic fungal pathogen that causes Septoria nodorum blotch (SNB) of cereals, most notably wheat (). Although commonly observed on wheat seedlings, infection has the greatest effect on the adult crop. It results in leaf blotch, which limits photosynthesis and thus crop growth and yield.
