Experimental Section:
[Materials]
1-Ethyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([C2mpyr][TFSI]), 99 % was purchased form IoLiTec. 3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT), 99 % was supplied by Fisher Scientific. Iron (III) chloride hexahydrated (FeCl3·6H2O), 99% was acquired from Sigma Aldrich.
All the reagents were used as received with no further purification, apart from [C2mpyr][TFSI], which was dried at 60 ºC under vacuum overnight before use.
[Methods]
Thermogravimetric analyses were performed under air (25 mL min-1 flow rate) using TGA 8000 Pekin Elmer. The samples were equilibrated at 100 ºC for 20 min and then heated at a rate of 10ºC min-1 in the range of 100-800 ºC. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) measurements were performed on a Hitachi Tabletop Microscope (TM3030 series) at a 15 kV force field, running in a point-by-point scanning mode. The samples were placed on an aluminum holder with doublesided carbon tape and introduced into the SEM chamber. ImageJ was used to measure the pore size distribution in the range of 80-100 pores. The textural properties were characterized by means of N2 adsorption–desorption at −196 °C in a Micromeritics ASAP2020 apparatus. Prior to the analysis, the materials were degassed at 70 °C during 8 h under vacuum at 10−4 mbar. From
N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, the BET area was calculated from the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller equation. Finally, the pore size distribution (PSD) was calculated using the method proposed by Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH) method.
The electrochemical characterization was carried out using a VMP-3 potentiostat (Biologic Science Instruments). Scaffolds of Ø=5 mm were employed for the ORR glued with 15 μL of PEDOT:PSS (Clevios PH1000) onto a glassy carbon electrode (Ø=4 mm) as working electrode against platinum wire as reference electrode. Cyclic voltammetry was employed in the range of -0.7 to 0.7 V vs Ag/AgCl at different scan rates to observe the electrochemical response of the different materials using 0.1M KOH electrolyte. Platinum wire was used as counter electrode and Ag/AgCl as reference electrode. The liquid electrolyte was saturated with oxygen bubbling O2 (99.5 %, Air Liquide) for 30 min before running the experiment.
[3D scaffold synthesis and characterization]
The 3D scaffolds were produced through a multistage process similar to previous reports and as shown in Figure 1.1,2 Sucrose and OIPC ([C2mpyr][TFSI]) were sifted through two sieves with mesh sizes of 250 and 100 μm sequentially. Thereafter, sucrose and OIPC grains in the middle fraction were collected ensuring grain sizes between 250-100 μm. Sieved sucrose (250 mg) and FeCl3·6H2O (20 mg) oxidant were mixed with the aid of a mortar and pestle in presence of 20 (7wt.%), 40 (13 wt.%) or 80 (23 wt.%) mg of OIPC. Finally, 5 μL of Milli-Q water was added in the blend and subsequently mixed until a homogeneous wet material was obtained. The mixture was poured into a hollow plastic cylinder of (Ø=5 mm) in diameter and gently compacted from both sides to form cylindrical-shape templates of 2-3 mm in length. Then, the templates were hung by a thread inside a Schlenk flask. Afterwards, 0.5 mL of EDOT monomer was introduced at the bottom of the Schlenk flask and subsequently left under vacuum for 5 min. VPP was carried out in a bath of 140 ºC overnight. The temperature of the Schlenk flask at the sucrose- OIPC templates was monitored and did not exceed 55 ºC, which ensures the solid state of the OIPC ( = 90 ºC). Once the reaction was 𝑇𝑚 completed, the cylinders were immersed overnight into Milli-Q water to dissolve the sucrose and the excess of oxidant, resulting in self-standing and porous architectures with interconnected microchannels. The scaffolds were cleaned with water and isopropanol for five days in a Soxhlet system until complete removal of iron byproducts. The absence of iron was proved by TGA through the complete weight loss..-- Experimental Section; Figure S1: first derivative from the TGA curves of SC-20, SC-40, and SC-80; Table S2: porosity parameters extracted from physisorption experiments; SBET: specific surface area; VPORE: pore volume; DPORE: equivalent pore diameter (calculated as 4 PORE/SBET); Figure S2: differential scanning calorimetry of C2mpyrTFSI OIPC, SC-20, SC-40, and SC-80 scaffolds at 10 °C min–1; Figure S3: pore size distribution estimated by SEM using ImageJ for 80–100 pores; Figure S4: cyclic voltammograms of PEDOT:PSS, glassy carbon (GC), and platinum (Pt) in N2- and O2-saturated 0.1 M KOH solution; Figure S5: galvanostatic discharge of SC-40 at 0.05 mA cm–2 in 0.1 M KOH electrolyte; electrode mass loading: 47.8 mg cm–2; Figure S6: cyclic voltammograms of SC-40, SC-80, and VPP-CNT in O2-saturated 0.1 M KOH solution at 10 mV s–1.--Under a Cretative Commons license BY 4.0., Experimental Section; Figure S1: first derivative from the TGA curves of SC-20, SC-40, and SC-80; Table S2: porosity parameters extracted from physisorption experiments; SBET: specific surface area; VPORE: pore volume; DPORE: equivalent pore diameter (calculated as 4 PORE/SBET); Figure S2: differential scanning calorimetry of C2mpyrTFSI OIPC, SC-20, SC-40, and SC-80 scaffolds at 10 °C min–1; Figure S3: pore size distribution estimated by SEM using ImageJ for 80–100 pores; Figure S4: cyclic voltammograms of PEDOT:PSS, glassy carbon (GC), and platinum (Pt) in N2- and O2-saturated 0.1 M KOH solution; Figure S5: galvanostatic discharge of SC-40 at 0.05 mA cm–2 in 0.1 M KOH electrolyte; electrode mass loading: 47.8 mg cm–2; Figure S6: cyclic voltammograms of SC-40, SC-80, and VPP-CNT in O2-saturated 0.1 M KOH solution at 10 mV s–1, O.S. thanks the University of the Basque Country (projects COLLAB22/05 and GIU21/033).

- Talavera, Gerard
- Turner, Edgar
- Hayes, Matthew
- Horrocks, Nicholas
- Bladon, Andrew
This dataset contains the data and scripts required to reproduce the analyses in Toro-Delgado et al. (J. Anim. Ecol.). It contains the temperature measurements from Catalonia, the R scripts to conduct the statistical analyses, and Python scripts to download the solar radiation data from the Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service (CAMS). The temperature data from Great Britain was released in Bladon et al. (2020)., [Description of the data and file structure] The "Data" folder contains the file "Butterfly_Thermoregulation_Data.txt", a tab-separated file containing the data gathered from the field in Catalonia. The column meanings are as follows:
Order: a numbered column, to be able to recover the original order of the rows.
Time: Hour of the measurement (in CEST, 24-hour format).
Species: the species of butterfly being measured (scientific name).
Code: field code used to identify the specimen.
GPS_Y (): the latitude, in decimal format.
GPS_X(): the longitude, in decimal format.
Slope: categorical variable classifying the slope of the terrain in ranges.
Aspect: the orientation of the slope on a compass (direction of ascent). Cells containing N/A are those for which slope is of 0 degrees, i.e. flat areas, and so no aspect can be applied to these (there is no direction of ascent if the ground is flat).
Veg.Type: categorical variable describing the vegetation type.
Manage: variable indicating if there are signs of some type of human management. Empty cells correspond to missing data, as this variable was not recorded for that particular observation. They are purposefully left blank in order not to interfere with the scripts.
Shelter: variable indicating if the spot in which the butterfly was detected was fully exposed to the wind (1) or fully sheltered (5), measured at chest height and 5m from the point.
Sunny: variable indicating how sunny it was; either fully sunny (S), mostly sunny (SSN), half sunny (SN), mostly cloudy (SNN) or fully cloudy (N).
Tair: temperature of the air, at waist height and in the shade, at the moment of capture of the butterfly. In degrees Celsius. Empty cells correspond to missing data, as this variable was not recorded for that particular observation. They are purposefully left blank in order not to interfere with the scripts.
Tbody1: first measurement of butterfly thoracic temperature at the time of capture; in degrees Celsius. Empty cells correspond to missing data, as this variable was not recorded for that particular observation. They are purposefully left blank in order not to interfere with the scripts.
Pbody1: position from which the thoracic temperature was measured; on the side of the thorax (L) or on the dorsal part (D).
Tperch: temperature of the substrate the butterfly was on (measured only when it was not flying). Empty cells correspond to observations of butterflies that were flying, so this variable did not apply to these observations and hence it could not be recorded.
Tair_perch: temperature of the air surrounding the substrate on which the butterfly was place (approximately 2cm above it). Empty cells correspond to observations of butterflies that were flying, so this variable did not apply to these observations and hence it could not be recorded.
Activity: categorical variable indicating what the butterfly was doing when first sighted.
Height(cm): the height at which the butterfly was.
Plant: species of plant OR type of substrate on which the butterfly was found. Empty cells correspond to observations of butterflies that were flying, so this variable did not apply to these observations and hence it could not be recorded.
Sp.Chase: if the butterfly was chasing/being chased by another, the species of the second butterfly. Empty cells correspond to observations of butterflies that were not chasing nor being chased by another, so this variable did not apply to these observations and hence it could not be recorded. As most butterflies were not not in a chase, this column consist mostly of empty cells.
Sex: sex of the specimen being measured (if known). Empty cells correspond to specimens for which sex could not be determined.
Wing_length: length of the forewing, measured from the base (“shoulder”) to the tip. In millimetres. Empty cells correspond to missing data, as this variable was not recorded for that particular observation.
Location: whether the locality is in the lowland or in the mountains (Pyrenees).
Country: the country in which the butterfly was captured and measured.
Locality: the locality in which the butterfly was captured and measured.
Captured: whether the butterfly was captured and taken to the lab for other studies or released after measuring the temperature measure.
Empty cells are left deliberately this way, instead of being filled with N/A, to ensure proper functioning with the provided scripts., [Sharing/Access information] Temperature data for the British butterflies is available at: https://datadryad.org/stash/dataset/doi:10.5061/dryad.z08kprr9n(opens in new window)
The data provided here (temperature measurements of Spanish butterfly populations) was collected by the authors, [Code/Software] The “Scripts” folder contains:
The “Analysis” folder, with several R scripts with the required code to reproduce all statistical analyses. This was originally done with R 4.1.3. The "worldclim_analysis.R" script can be used to reproduce the analysis of WorldClim data to characterise the climate of both Catalonia and Great Britain; the "GAM_models_buffering_mechanisms" can be used to reproduce the GAM models; the "Master_script.R" script contains the rest of analyses.
The “CAMS_solar_radiation_data_download” folder, with multiple Python scripts used to automate the download of the solar radiation data from CAMS. Note that, to be able to use these, the reader will have to register on the CAMS website and obtain access credentials, and then replace the “credentials_file” variable at the beginning of each Python script with the path to the file containing the credentials. More details are available at: https://ads.atmosphere.copernicus.eu/api-how-to, Understanding how different organisms cope with changing temperatures is vital for predicting future species’ distributions and highlighting those at risk from climate change. As ectotherms, butterflies are sensitive to temperature changes, but the factors affecting butterfly thermoregulation are not fully understood.
We investigated which factors influence thermoregulatory ability in a subset of a Mediterranean butterfly community. We measured adult thoracic temperature and environmental temperature (787 butterflies; 23 species) and compared buffering ability (defined as the ability to maintain a consistent body temperature across a range of air temperatures) and buffering mechanisms to previously published results from Great Britain. Finally, we tested whether thermoregulatory ability could explain species’ demographic trends in Catalonia.
The sampled sites in each region differ climatically, with higher temperatures and solar radiation but lower wind speeds in the Catalan sites. Both butterfly communities show nonlinear responses to temperature, suggesting a change in behaviour, from heat-seeking to heat avoidance, at approximately 22 °C. However, the communities differ in the use of buffering mechanisms, with British populations depending more on microclimates for thermoregulation compared to Catalan populations.
Contrary to the results from British populations, we did not find a relationship between region-wide demographic trends and butterfly thermoregulation, which may be due to the interplay between thermoregulation and the habitat changes occurring in each region. Thus, although Catalan butterfly populations seem to be able to thermoregulate successfully at present, evidence of heat avoidance suggests this situation may change in the future., Spanish National Research Council, Award: JAEINT_20_00248, Departament de Recerca i Universitats, Award: FI-1 00556, Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación, Award: PID2020-117739GA-I00 MCIN / AEI / 10.13039/501100011033, Isaac Newton Trust, Award: RG89529, Wellcome Trust, Award: RG89529, University of Cambridge, Award: RG89529, Natural Environment Research Council, Award: NE/V007173/1, Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, Award: FPU22/02358, European Social Fund Plus, Award: FI-1 00556, Peer reviewed

The globally expanding threat of antibiotic resistance calls for the development of new strategies for abating Gram-negative bacterial infections. The use of extracorporeal blood cleansing devices with affinity sorbents to selectively capture bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which is the major constituent of Gram-negative bacterial outer membranes and the responsible agent for eliciting an exacerbated innate immune response in the host during infection, has received outstanding interest. For that purpose, molecules that bind tightly to LPS are required to functionalize the affinity sorbents. Particularly, anti-LPS factors (ALFs) are promising LPS-sequestrating molecules. Hence, in this work, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used to investigate the interaction mechanism and binding pose of the ALF isoform 3 from Penaeus monodon (ALFPm3), which is referred to as “AL3” for the sake of simplicity, and lipid A (LA, the component of LPS that represents its endotoxic principle). We concluded that hydrophobic interactions are responsible for AL3–LA binding and that LA binds to AL3 within the protein cavity, where it buries its aliphatic tails, whereas the negatively charged phosphate groups are exposed to the medium. AL3 residues that are key for its interaction with LA were identified, and their conservation in other ALFs (specifically Lys39 and Tyr49) was also analyzed. Additionally, based on the MD-derived results, we provide a picture of the possible AL3–LA interaction mechanism. Finally, an in vitro validation of the in silico predictions was performed. Overall, the insights gained from this work can guide the design of novel therapeutics for treating sepsis, since they may be significantly valuable for designing LPS-sequestrating molecules that could functionalize affinity sorbents to be used for extracorporeal blood detoxification., Peer reviewed
