Reconstructed CT slices for skull of Chitala blanci (University of Michigan Museum of Zoology catalog number UMMZ Fish 232272) as a series of TIFF images. Raw projections are not included in this dataset. The reconstructed slice data from the scan are offered here as a series of unsigned 16-bit integer TIFF images. The upper left corner of the first image (*_0000.tif) is the XYZ origin.

This dataset contains the results of a survey about professional quality of life for individuals working in animal research facilities. The survey included questions about professional quality of life, job satisfaction, retention, and other factors influencing compassion fatigue resiliency. Data was collected via Qualtrics survey as described in the methodology section. This dataset is associated with the following publication, accepted by PLOS One: PONE-D-23-17551R2 Professional quality of life in animal research personnel is linked to retention & job satisfaction: A mixed-methods cross-sectional survey on compassion fatigue in the USA by Lauren Young, Fabienne Ferrari, Lisa Kelly, Tara Martin, Sally Thompson-Iritani, and Megan R LaFollette

This dataset presents stable isotope data (d13C, d18O, D47, D17O) from Holocene lake cores from three lakes in the Peruvian Andes (Lakes Junin, Pumacocha, and Mehcocha). We also present new radiocarbon (14C) data and core age models for Lakes Junin and Mehcocha. We use these data to explore trends in lake water temperatures and evaporative state (i.e., water balance) over the Holocene. Our clumped isotope (D47) results suggest lake water temperatures at all three lakes were stable over the Holocene and similar to present day lake temperatures. Our triple oxygen isotope (D’17O) results illustrate that lake water balance at all three lakes was variable over the Holocene and tracks changes in austral summertime insolation, suggesting a connection between central Andean water balance and the South American summer monsoon (SASM).

Bursty bulk flows (BBFs) are identified as the fast earthward-propagating flows from magnetic reconnection in Earth's magnetotail.
BBFs are related to particle energization process reported by satellite observations.
For the first time, we use a novel numerical model that simulates kinetic physics directly in a global model.
The energization of the electrons associated with BBF is demonstrated by the model.
The electron velocity distribution functions (VDFs) extracted from multiple locations associated with BBF demonstrate good agreements with the observations.
The energy-dependent electron pitch angle distribution at the leading part of the BBF can be explained by the enhancement of the local magnetic field.
We developed a new model framework based on WRF-Chem, simulating primary biological aerosol particle emissions and their interaction with clouds. We have designed different sensitivity tests to evaluate the effects of pollen and sub-pollen particles (SPPs), respectively. Our results show that SPPs have a larger effect on cloud microphysics and precipitation than whole pollen grains.
UV-visible, X-ray absorption, and X-ray emission data used to characterize the dynamics of methyl cobalamin at low pH, so called "base off" configuration. Details of data collection and reduction are provided in the associated manuscript. Data files are all text files which contain tab-delimited columns of data corresponding to each figure in the manuscript

We identify and describe a new clade of viruses in the Nucleocytoviricota that infect fungi, particularly the early-diverging lineages, which we name Mycodnaviridae. Here we deposit the genomes of five viruses belonging to Mycodnaviridae, labeled by host, as well as our Nucleocytoviricota phylogeny.
In this study, we experimentally tested for the effects of four simulated predator cues on defensive displays in two species of South American calico snakes (genus Oxyrhopus). We found that juvenile snakes were both more likely to respond and to respond more strongly than adults and that displays were most common in response to tactile stimuli than to other treatments. However, we also found broad similarity across both simulated predator treatments and species in the components used in each snake’s defensive display, suggesting a high degree of stereotyping. This research suggests an important role for both ontogeny and intensity of predation risk in structuring variation in defensive behavior in Neotropical snakes and emphasizes the foundational importance of context dependence in conceptual frameworks for understanding predator-prey interactions. and *On January 4, 2024, “Supplementary_material.pdf” was replaced with an updated version that has slightly different versions of Figures S4 and S8 after an error in code was corrected. Within “HeatmapFigures.zip,” two code files, “IndividualHeatmaps_matrices.R” and “FigureS4_S8_averagedHeatmaps.R” were updated to correct the code error. Three additional files were added to both the “figures” and “matrices” folders within the subfolder “heatmaps.” These files represent the correlation matrices, by body part, and graphical representation of the matrices for one experimental trial that had previously been excluded due to the code error.
The research involved vortex-panel simulations of fluid-structure interactions. A file Captions_for_SpanwiseVariationsMovies.pdf is included that describes the movies.
