- Description:
- This includes data used for analysis for the publication: "Graminivory and fallback foods: Annual diet profile of geladas (Theropithecus gelada) living in the Simien Mountains National Park, Ethiopia". A revised version of the "foraging.scans.xlsx" file was uploaded as a csv file on Dec 13, 2017 to include the addition of the "crop" as category in the "Diet.Item" column. Previously "crop" was included in the "other" category. An updated version of the "readme_foraging.scans.txt" was uploaded on Dec 13, 2017 to account for this change, provide additional information on variables in the "season" column and to include contact information for the creator of the data set. Revised versions of two other files "readme_rainfall.txt" and "readme_underground.samples.txt" were also uploaded on Dec 13, 2017. Both revisions include additional information to account for missing variables and contact information for the creator of the data set. The original files are retained in this data set and are marked as being the originals in the file name. Note: A citation to the related article was added to the metadata on March 12, 2018.

- Description:
- This Work contains Supplemental File S3-1, Supplemental File S3-2, Supplemental Table S4-1, Supplemental Table S4-2, and Supplemental Table S4-3 from the dissertation entitled "Genetic Determinants of the Development and Evolution of Drosophila Pigmentation" by Abigail M. Lamb. Supplemental File S3-1 is entitled "Raw data measuring CHC abundance" and contains the measurements of cuticular hydrocarbons used for analysis in Chapter 3 of the dissertation. These data are meant to be read into the R code contained in Supplemental File S3-2, "R code used for analyzing CHC data" to reproduce the results reported in Chapter 3 of the dissertation. Supplemental Tables S4-1, S4-2, and S4-3 contain original phenotyping data, notes, and summary data from the miRNA overexpression and competitive inhibition experiments described in Chapter 4 of the dissertation.

- Description:
- Estimated phylogenetic relationships based on more than 18,000 loci in 93 individuals (full data) or 21 individuals (subset data) representing 19 described species and two putative undescribed species. Nine files are part of this dataset, including all input files to infer the phylogenetic reconstructions and the outputs obtained, in addition to a pruned tree used to infer the ancestral state reconstructions.

Geotechnical observations of weathered rock across a tectonic and climatic gradient in Central Nepal

- Description:
- These datasets support the findings of Medwedeff et al. (2021) in JGR: Earth Surface. In this article, we present seismic and geotechnical characterizations of the shallow subsurface across a 200 km by 50 km swath of the central Himalayan Range, in Nepal. By pairing widely-distributed 1D shear wave velocity surveys and engineering outcrop descriptions per the Geological Strength Index classification system, we evaluate landscape-scale patterns in near-surface mechanical characteristics and their relation to environmental factors known to affect rock strength. We find that near-surface strength is more dependent on the degree of weathering, rather than the mineral and textural differences between the metamorphic lithologies found in the central Himalaya. Furthermore, weathering varies systematically with topography. Bedrock ridge top sites are highly weathered and have S-wave seismic velocities and shear strength characteristics that are more typical of engineering soils, whereas sites near the bedrock channel bottom tend to be less weathered and characterized by high S-wave velocities and shear strength estimates typical of hard rock. Weathering of bedrock on hillslopes is significantly more variable, resulting in S-wave velocities that range between the ridge and channel endmembers. We hypothesize variability in the hillslope environment may be partly explained by the stochastic nature of mass wasting, which clears away weathered material where landslide scars are recent. These results underscore the mechanical heterogeneity in the shallow subsurface and highlight the need to account for bedrock weathering when estimating strength parameters for regional landslide hazard analysis.

- Description:
- 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.

- Description:
- GIS (.lpkx) data layers that inform of areas to construct new rain gardens in Washtenaw County, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Data layers can be opened with a GIS program. There is a single .lpkx dataset that contains four layers. The first layer contains 'Wildlife Corridors' which contains information on where to prioritize new green infrastructure based on how well-connected different patches of forested areas are. The second layer, 'Social Inequality', shows where to prioritize new rain gardens based on social inequality criteria. The 'Creeksheds and Future Runoff' contains information on future changes in precipitation runoff based on climate change projections of rainfall. Lastly, 'Runoff/Water Quality' is a layer that includes a priority map regarding where new rain gardens should be developed based on areas that are most at risk of poor water quality and enhanced surface run-off. The project was completed for Washtenaw County Water Resources as part of a course taught at the University of Michigan, CLIMATE 592. A description of the course is also provided: "Introduction to individual and team research on real-world problems in the area of applied climate. On a research project started in CLIMATE 591 and guided by a mentor from a commercial or government laboratory, students will apply the principles of risk analysis and objective assessment of adaptive strategies".
