The remaining data are accessible through private communication with Cecilia Granados-Miralles, c.granados.miralles@icv.csic.es). The folder “c_400C_20mLmin_fr6” contains in situ PXRD data (time resolution=5 s) collected during reduction at the temperature and gas flow indicated in the folder name (i.e. 400C_20mLmin stands for 400 °C and 20 mL/min). The temperature indicated in the file names is the set temperature but the sample temperature is the indicated in the folder name (i.e. Tset430 led to a sample temperature of 400 °C). Heating started on the frame indicated in the folder name (i.e. fr6 stands for frame 6).

(emu)., During the past decade, CoFe2O4 (hard)/Co–Fe alloy (soft) magnetic nanocomposites have been routinely prepared by partial reduction of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles. Monoxide (i.e., FeO or CoO) has often been detected as a byproduct of the reduction, although it remains unclear whether the formation of this phase occurs during the reduction itself or at a later stage. Here, a novel reaction cell was designed to monitor the reduction in situ using synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). Sequential Rietveld refinements of the in situ data yielded time-resolved information on the sample composition and confirmed that the monoxide is generated as an intermediate phase. The macroscopic magnetic properties of samples at different reduction stages were measured by means of vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), revealing a magnetic softening with increasing soft phase content, which was too pronounced to be exclusively explained by the introduction of soft material in the system. The elemental compositions of the constituent phases were obtained from joint Rietveld refinements of ex situ high-resolution PXRD and neutron powder diffraction (NPD) data. It was found that the alloy has a tendency to emerge in a Co-rich form, inducing a Co deficiency on the remaining spinel phase, which can explain the early softening of the magnetic material., European Comission through FP7 program, NANOPYME project, grant agreement no. 310516.

Nestlings of most avian species produce faecal sacs, which facilitate the removal of nestlings’ excrements by parents, thereby reducing proliferation of potentially pathogenic microorganisms and/or detectability by predators and parasites. The nest microbial environment that birds experience during early life might also affect their development and thus, faecal sacs facilitating parental removal may be a strategy to decrease bacterial contamination of nests that could harm developing nestlings. Here, we tested this hypothesis by experimentally broken faecal sacs and spreading them in nests of spotless starlings (Sturnus unicolor), thereby avoiding their removal by adults. In accordance with the hypothesis, experimental nests harboured higher bacterial density than control nests. Nestlings in experimental nests were of smaller size (tarsus length) and experienced lower probability of survival (predation) than those in control nests. Moreover, nestlings in experimental nests tended to suffer more from ectoparasites than those in control nests. We discuss the possible pivotal role of bacteria producing chemical volatiles that ectoparasites and predators might use to find avian nests, and that could explain our experimental results in starlings, Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades and European (FEDER) funds (CGL2013-48193-C3-1-P, CGL2017-83103-P), Peer reviewed

This data set includes 9 years (2009-2017) of data on the number of red-necked nightjars (Caprimulgus ruficollis) encountered along a 24-km road network crossing a protected area of the Doñana Natural Park (Spain) 37°7′N, 6°33′ W. Nightjar counts were carried out on a weekly basis from the time of arrival from spring migration (early April) until autumn departure to their wintering quarters (late October). These counts began 1–2 h after sunset from fixed starting points by driving a vehicle at a constant speed of 30 km/h until the full 24-km route was completed. Meteorological information from the two nearest meteorological stations, located 17 km and 6 km from the study site, is also included in this data set., Peer reviewed

Many studies addressing the use of nest materials by animals have focused on only one factor to explain its function. However, the consideration of more than one factor could explain the apparently maladaptive choice of nest materials that makes the nests conspicuous to predators. Here, we tested experimentally whether there is a trade-off in the use of nest materials between the risks of egg predation and overheating when the eggs are not attended by adults in the ground-nesting Kentish plover, Charadrius alexandrinus. For this, we added into nests materials differing in their thermal properties and coloration, thus affecting rates of egg heating and camouflage. Before manipulations, adults had selected light materials that matched worse egg coloration than the microhabitat, likely to buffer the risk of egg overheating. However, the adults did not keep the lightest experimental materials, probably because camouflage worsened. In all nests, adults removed most of the experimental materials independently of their properties, so that egg camouflage returned to the original values within a week of the experimental treatments. Although the thermal environment may affect the choice of nest materials by the plovers, at our study sites it was not likely too stressful as to determine the acceptance of the lightest experimental materials., Peer reviewed
