DataSheet_1_Effects of habitat usage on hypoxia avoidance behavior and exposure in reef-dependent marine coastal species.docx by Haolin Yu (14672189)

“…Relatively little is known about the effects of hypoxia on organisms that use complex habitat arrangements and how the presence of highly preferred AR habitat can affect the exposure of organisms to low dissolved oxygen (DO). We performed two laboratory experiments that used video recording of behavioral movement to explore 1) habitat usage and staying duration of individuals continuously exposed to 3, 5, and 7 mg/L dissolved oxygen (DO) in a complex of multiple preferred and avoided habitat types, and 2) the impact of ARs on exposure to different DO concentrations under a series of two-way replicated choice experiments with or without AR placement on the low-oxygen side. …”

Data_Sheet_1_Changes in the Thermal and Hydrometeorological Forest Growth Climate During 1948–2017 in Northern Germany.docx by Banzragch Bat-Enerel (12547519)

“…Here, we analyze T, P, CWB, and SPEI trends separately for all growing season months (April-September) during the 1948–1982 (before the recent warming) and 1983–2017 periods (after the onset of warming) in their spatial variation across the North German Lowlands based on a dense climate station network. While trends in thermal and hydrometeorological variables were weak from 1948 to 1982, we find a significant decrease in April precipitation and increase in July precipitation from 1983 to 2017 throughout much of the study region, while June precipitation has decreased locally by 10 mm or more (or up to 20%). …”
