This work provides open access to the data compiled for the following paper Indradatta deCastro-Arrazola, Francisco Sánchez-Piñero, Marco Moretti & Joaquín Hortal. Spatial and seasonal trait selection in dung beetle assemblages along an aridity gradient in the Sahara, currently under review. See the original paper for more details., This database provides average trait measurements for dung beetles surveyed a c. 400 km linear transect following a strong aridity gradient parallel to the Morocco-Algerian border from the semiarid Mediterranean coast in the North towards the hyperarid (i.e. extremely dry) conditions of the Sahara toward the South (see deCastro-Arrazola et al. PeerJ 2018). All morphological traits were measured with a Leica M165C microscope, using Leica Application Suite LAS V4.0 with the Z-builder module to process the images and obtain the measurements. Not all traits could be measured in all 61 species sampled in the study. Adult trophic preferences and dung relocation strategy for feeding purposes (both qualitative traits) were obtained from the literature and expert knowledge. For these categorical traits, values could be assigned with confidence to all species. For continuous traits, we aimed at measuring 10 individuals per species, and finally 80% of species had measures for 5 or more individuals due to the limited numbers of individuals in the samples. The individuals measured for each species were chosen from as many localities as possible to maximise intraspecific trait variation, covering their distribution along the gradient. In total, we measured 23 traits on 347 individuals (mean 5.8 and median 5.0 individuals per species) leading to a total of more than 7000 measurements, complemented with further categorical traits gathered from literature or our own observations in the field., I. deCastro-Arrazola was funded by a FPI grant from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (BES-2012-054353).

On the other hand, it wants to connect these beliefs with their free time and media consumption patterns as well as with the sources they handle nowadays to access information and the trust or credibility that both classical media and social media (social networking and internet platforms) arouse in them. The data come from a survey realized in November 2017 from the fifth wave of the Citizen Panel for Social Research in Andalusia (PACIS). The Panel is an initiative of Advanced Social Studies Institute (IESA-CSIC). A total of 1.103 people over 18 years of age participated in this study: 827 answered by internet (self-administered web questionnaire) and 276 were interviewed by telephone to cover sociodemographic profiles less inclined to internet use., [ES] Este estudio pretende identificar si existe una base de andaluces que cree en conspiraciones y conocer su perfil sociológico y político. Por otra parte, quiere conectar estas creencias con sus pautas de tiempo libre y consumo de medios, así como con las fuentes que manejan hoy en día para acceder a la información y la confianza o credibilidad que les suscitan tanto los medios de comunicación clásicos como los medios sociales (plataformas de redes sociales e internet). Los datos provienen de una encuesta realizada en noviembre de 2017 proveniente de la quinta ola del Panel Ciudadano para la Investigación Social en Andalucía (PACIS). El Panel es una iniciativa del Instituto de Estudios Sociales Avanzados (IESA-CSIC). En este estudio han participado un total de 1.103 personas mayores de 18 años: 827 la contestaron a través de internet mediante cuestionarios web autoadministrado y 276 fueron entrevistadas telefónicamente para cubrir perfiles sociodemográficos menos proclives al uso de internet., EP-1707 5ª Ola panel ciudadano para la investigación social en Andalucía, autofinanciado por el IESA/CSIC en el marco de un proyecto Intramural Especial denominado PANEL CIUDADANO PARA LA INVESTIGACIÓN SOCIAL: UNA HERRAMIENTA PARA LA INVESTIGACIÓN SOCIAL Y METODOLÓGICA (PACIS EP-1707 IESA-CSIC)., CONSPIRACIES_Datafile.csv CONSPIRACIES_Datafile.sav CONSPIRACIES_Codebook_EN.pdf CONSPIRACIES_Codebook_SP.pdf CONSPIRACIES_Readme_EN.pdf CONSPIRACIES_Readme_SP.pdf CONSPIRACIES_Survey.pdf, Peer reviewed

[Methods] This research was experimentally preformed in the lab. On one hand, bacterial fitness was estimated according to the described procedure in the methodology. And in the other hand, whole-genome sequencing data was also following the describe procedure, having all sequences deposited in teh ENA database., Interactions between microbes can both constrain and enhance adaptation, but to date, most studies employ simplified communities and environments. We measured fitness of populations of the soil bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens that have been evolved in both the presence and absence of a natural potting soil microbial community. Populations from both environments showed similar fitness increases with respect to the ancestor in the absence of the community, suggesting no significant cost of evolving with the community. By contrast, fitness in the presence of the community increased for community-evolved populations, but decreased considerably below the ancestral state for populations evolved in the absence of the community. This suggests some abiotic beneficial mutations are costly in the presence of the community, while others are not, with the former only selected against in the presence of the community. Most mutations underpinning fitness changes were clone specific, supporting the view that there are multiple genetic pathways to adaptation in this complex environment. Such extreme mutational effects have not been observed in comparable in vitro studies that employ much simpler abiotic and biotic environments, and suggest that a caution is need when extrapolating results from simplified in vitro systems to real-world contexts., Peer reviewed

The long-term monitoring on plant cover of Doñana shrublands is part of a harmonised protocol for the Long-term Ecological Monitoring Program of Natural Resources and Processes targeting Terrestrial Vegetation. The general aim of this protocol is to monitor and assess the dynamics of the main dominant terrestrial and aquatic vegetation types of Doñana. For shrublands, percent cover is recorded annually starting from 2008 to the present (2022) by staff of the Monitoring Team by one sampling campaign per year during the flowering season (between March and May) in 21 permanent square plots (15x15m). Cover is measured using the line intercept method in 3 transects of 15 m length oriented from East to West and located at fixed points of 2.5, 7.5 and 12.5 metres at both sides of the plot. Using the line-intercept method, the coverage of each species is measured with a measuring tape, including the class age (adult or seedling) and the canopy status (green or dead). This method enables to calculate the percent cover for each species across the transect and for the whole plot, including data on class age and percent of dry and green canopy, additionally to the percent of bare soil, plant density, species richness and vascular plant diversity for every plot., The aim of this project is to provide information about the evolution of the conservation status of Doñana. To do that, it has been designed a monitoring program of the dynamic of natural processes and the distribution and abundance of species and communities. This monitoring is generating time series of data which is being used to analyse long-term trends.
