Data from: Phenotypic responses to temperature in the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila

Vanessa Weber De Melo, Robert Lowe, Paul J. Hurd & Owen L. Petchey
Dataset published via Dryad
Understanding the effects of temperature on ecological and evolutionary processes is crucial for generating future climate adaptation scenarios. Using experimental evolution, we evolved the model ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila in an initially novel high temperature environment for more than 35 generations, closely monitoring population dynamics and morphological changes. We observed initially long lag phases in the high temperature environment that over about 26 generations reduced to no lag phase, a strong reduction in cell size and...

Asymmetric contextual effects in age perception dataset

Deema Awad
Dataset published via Dryad
Perception is context dependent. For example, the perceived orientation of a bar changes depending on the presence of oriented bars around it. Contextual effects have also been demonstrated for more complex judgements, such as facial attractiveness or expression, although it remains unclear how these contextual facial effects depend on the types of faces surrounding the target face.To examine this, we measured the perceived age (a quantifiable measure) of a target face in the presence of...

CORSMAL Containers

Alessio Xompero, Ricardo Sanchez-Matilla, Riccardo Mazzon & Andrea Cavallaro
Corsmal Containers Is An Image Dataset With 1,656 Images Of 23 Transparent And Non Transparent Containers, Such As Drinking Cups, Drinking Glasses And Bottles. The Containers Have Different Shapes, Materials And Degrees Of Transparency. Each Container Stands On A Table In Two Different Setups With Different Lighting And Background Conditions, And Is Observed By Two Cameras Placed On The Top Of A Table With A Wide Baseline, Acquiring Rgb, Depth, And Narrow Baseline Stereo Infrared Images. Images Are Acquired With 1280x720 Pixels Resolution, And Rgb And Depth Images Being Spatially Aligned. The Cameras Are Calibrated And Localised With Respect To A Calibration Board. Data Acquisition Was Performed In Two Separate Rooms With Different Lighting Conditions And Different Backgrounds. Backgrounds Vary By Using Two Tablecloths In Addition To A No Tabletop Scenario. For The First Room, The Data Is Acquired Under Natural Light And The Dimensions Of The Table Top Are 160x80 Cm And The Height Of The Table Is 82 Cm From The Ground. For The Second Room (No Windows), The Data Is Acquired With Illumination Provided By Either Ceiling Lights Or Additional Portable Lights, And The Table Is Of Size 60x60 Cm And Height 82 Cm From The Ground. The Total Number Of Configurations Is 207, As The Combination Of Objects (23), Backgrounds (3) And Lighting Conditions (3), Resulting In 414 Rgb Images, 414 Depth Images And 828 Ir Images. Annotations Include The Maximum Width And Height Of Each Object.

Trophic resource partitioning drives fine-scale coexistence in cryptic bat species

Orly Razgour, Roberto Novella-Fernandez, Carlos Ibáñez, Javier Juste, Beth Clare & C. Patrick Doncaster
Dataset published via Dryad
Understanding the processes that enable species coexistence has important implications for assessing how ecological systems will respond to global change. Morphology and functional similarity increase the potential for competition, and therefore, co-occurring morphologically similar but genetically unique species are a good model system for testing coexistence mechanisms. We used DNA metabarcoding and High Throughput Sequencing to characterise for the first time the trophic ecology of two recently-described cryptic bat species with parapatric ranges, Myotis escalerai...

Positive selection and inactivation in vision and hearing genes of cetaceans

Michael McGowen, Georgia Tsagkogeorga, Joseph Williamson, Phillip Morin & Stephen Rossiter
Dataset published via Dryad
The transition to an aquatic lifestyle in cetaceans (whales and dolphins) resulted in a radical transformation in their sensory systems. Toothed whales acquired specialized high-frequency hearing tied to the evolution of echolocation, while baleen whales evolved low-frequency hearing. More generally, all cetaceans show adaptations for hearing and seeing underwater. To determine the extent to which these phenotypic changes have been driven by molecular adaptation, we performed large-scale targeted sequence capture of 179 sensory genes across...
