Dataset 1: this is the dataset used for the eggshell coloration analysis. The dataset presents 145 columns and 197 lines. Each line represents the data relative to a single starlin egg considered for the analysis. Column 1 is the original ID of the egg in the field noterbook. Column 2 is the individual code for each breeding attempt (i.d. every time a first egg is found in a nest). Column 3 is the nest in which each egg has been found. Col. 4 is the tratment to which the female laying the eggs has been subjected: H, handicap; C, control. Col. 5 contains the date of measurement of the eggs. Col. 6 contains the date of laying of each egg (date of April 2020). Col. 7 the clutch size of each breeding event. Cols. 8-10 the lenght (mm), widht (mm) and the calculated volume (mm3) of each egg. Please refer to the main text for more information about egg size calculation. Cols. 11-15 contain the informations about the laying female (IDs and measurements). Cols. 16 - 135 contain the repeated measurements of eggshell coloration as stored in the spectrophotometer and the relative values of brightness, BGC, hue and chroma. The x and y are used to distinguish the first from the second spectra values. Cols. 136-139 contain the values of the mean value of brightness, hue, chroma and blue-green chroma for the repeated measures (x and y). Cols. 140-142 contain the main, the standard deviation and the maximum values of BGC for each nest. Cols. 143-145 contain the main, the standard deviation and the maximum values of BGC x100. Dataset 2: this dataset contains the data of the females recorded before and after the laying. Col. 1 and 2 contain the ID of the female (ring number and chip code, respectively) Col.3 the tratment to which the female laying the eggs has been subjected: H, handicap; C, control. Col. 4 the nest in which the eggs have been laid. Cols. 5 and 6 contain the dates in which the female has been captured (before and after laying the eggs, respectively). Cols. 7 and 8 contain the day counts of the corrispective date, starting the day of the laying (April 11th). Col. 9 and 10 contain the initials of the observer of the first and second capture. Col. 11 contains the coded age of the oldest nestling: P5, chick of 5 days; P6, chick of 6 days... Cols. 12 and 13 contain the weights recorded in the first and in the second capture (pre and post laying, respectively). Cols. 14 and 15 contain the wing (mm) and the tarsus (mm) measurements of the females, recorded in the first capture., It has been proposed that blue-green egg coloration is a condition-dependent female sexual trait that may modify paternal care in a post-mating sexual selection scenario. This pattern may arise because the pigment responsible for eggshell colouration (biliverdin) may be a costly and limited resource, whose availability is linked to female health state. Thus, it can be predicted that females whose condition is compromised should be constrained in their capacity to deposit biliverdin in the eggshell, thus producing paler clutches. To test this hypothesis, we performed a handicapping experiment by clipping some feathers of female spotless starlings before egg laying and measuring the colour of their clutches. We expected the handicapping treatment to increase flying costs, impairing female overall condition and resulting in paler clutches. Our experiment was successful in lowering the weight gain of handicapped with respect to control females. However, in contrast to our expectations, we found no effect of the treatment on eggshell colouration. Eggshell colour varied along the laying order, with initial eggs of the laying sequence being relatively paler than the rest of the clutch, but this pattern was not different between experimental groups. Despite a very similar methodology, our results differ from a previous study and offers no support to the post mating sexual selected hypothesis, questioning the general applicability of the sexual selection role of eggshell coloration., Peer reviewed

Splenocytes from control (Trp53KI/KI) and lymphoma-bearing animals (Trp53KI/KI;Vav1DC/DC), VAV1 mutations have been recently found in peripheral T cell lymphoma and non-small cell lung cancer. To understand their pathogenic potential, we generated a gene-edited mouse model that expresses a Vav1 mutant protein that recapitulates the signaling alterations present the VAV1 mutant subclass most frequently found in tumors. We could not detect any overt tumorigenic process in those mice. However, the concurrent elimination of the Trp53 tumor suppressor gene in them drives T cell lymphomagenesis. This process represents an exacerbation of the normal functions that wild-type Vav1 plays in follicular helper T cells. We also found that, in combination with an oncogenic Kras mutation, the Vav1 mutant version favors progression of non-small cell lung cancer. These data indicate that VAV1 mutations play critical, although highly cell typespecific roles in tumorigenesis. They also indicate that such functions are contingent on the mutational landscape of the tumors involved., Peer reviewed

[Objectives] CARB-ES-19 is a comprehensive, multicenter, nationwide study integrating whole-genome sequencing (WGS) in the surveillance of carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae (CP-Kpn) and E. coli (CP-Eco) to determine their incidence, geographical distribution, phylogeny, and resistance mechanisms in Spain., [Methods] In total, 71 hospitals, representing all 50 Spanish provinces, collected the first 10 isolates per hospital (February to May 2019); CPE isolates were first identified according to EUCAST (meropenem MIC > 0.12 mg/L with immunochromatography, colorimetric tests, carbapenem inactivation, or carbapenem hydrolysis with MALDI-TOF). Prevalence and incidence were calculated according to population denominators. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed using the microdilution method (EUCAST). All 403 isolates collected were sequenced for high-resolution single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) typing, core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST), and resistome analysis., [Results] In total, 377 (93.5%) CP-Kpn and 26 (6.5%) CP-Eco isolates were collected from 62 (87.3%) hospitals in 46 (92%) provinces. CP-Kpn was more prevalent in the blood (5.8%, 50/853) than in the urine (1.4%, 201/14,464). The cumulative incidence for both CP-Kpn and CP-Eco was 0.05 per 100 admitted patients. The main carbapenemase genes identified in CP-Kpn were blaOXA–48 (263/377), blaKPC–3 (62/377), blaVIM–1 (28/377), and blaNDM–1 (12/377). All isolates were susceptible to at least two antibiotics. Interregional dissemination of eight high-risk CP-Kpn clones was detected, mainly ST307/OXA-48 (16.4%), ST11/OXA-48 (16.4%), and ST512-ST258/KPC (13.8%). ST512/KPC and ST15/OXA-48 were the most frequent bacteremia-causative clones. The average number of acquired resistance genes was higher in CP-Kpn (7.9) than in CP-Eco (5.5)., [Conclusion] This study serves as a first step toward WGS integration in the surveillance of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales in Spain. We detected important epidemiological changes, including increased CP-Kpn and CP-Eco prevalence and incidence compared to previous studies, wide interregional dissemination, and increased dissemination of high-risk clones, such as ST307/OXA-48 and ST512/KPC-3., Peer reviewed

1 page. -- Figure S1. Temperature-salinity diagram of upper layer (20 m) for classification of the water masses and the distribution of Chl-a index in each water mass. TW = Tropical Water, and WSACW = West South Atlantic Central Water., Inputs of new nitrogen by cyanobacterial diazotrophs are critical to ocean ecosystem structure and function. Relative to other ocean regions, there is a lack of data on the distribution of these microbes in the western South Atlantic. Here, the abundance of six diazotroph phylotypes: Trichodesmium, Crocosphaera, UCYN-A, Richelia associated with Rhizosolenia (Het-1) or Hemiaulus (Het-2), and Calothrix associated with Chaetoceros (Het-3) was measured by quantitative PCR (qPCR) of the nifH gene along a transect extending from the shelf-break to the open ocean along the Vitória-Trindade seamount chain (1200 km). Using nifH gene copies as a proxy for phylotype abundance, Crocosphaera signals were the most abundant, with a broad distribution throughout the study region. Trichodesmium signals were the second most abundant, with the greatest numbers confined to the warmer waters closer to the coast, and a significant positive correlation with temperature. The average signals for the host-associated diazotrophs (UCYN-A, Het-1, and Het-2) were consistently lower than for the other phylotypes. These findings expand measurements of cyanobacterial diazotroph distribution in the western South Atlantic, and provide a new resource to enhance modeling studies focused on patterns of nitrogen fixation in the global ocean., Peer reviewed
