TLDR
A rubric consisting of nine standards for video data management, with three levels within each standard: good, better, and best practices, is presented, which may be useful for future efforts by the organismal biology research community.Abstract:
Standards-based data management facilitates data preservation, discoverability, and access for effective data reuse within research groups and across communities of researchers. Data sharing requires community consensus on standards for data management, such as storage and formats for digital data preservation, metadata (i.e., contextual data about the data) that should be recorded and stored, and data access. Video imaging is a valuable tool for measuring time-varying phenotypes in organismal biology, with particular application for research in functional morphology, comparative biomechanics, and animal behavior. The raw data are the videos, but videos alone are not sufficient for scientific analysis. Nearly endless videos of animals can be found on YouTube and elsewhere on the web, but these videos have little value for scientific analysis because essential metadata such as true frame rate, spatial calibration, genus and species, weight, age, etc. of organisms, are generally unknown. We have embarked on a project to build community consensus on video data management and metadata standards for organismal biology research. We collected input from colleagues at early stages, organized an open workshop, "Establishing Standards for Video Data Management," at the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology meeting in January 2017, and then collected two more rounds of input on revised versions of the standards. The result we present here is a rubric consisting of nine standards for video data management, with three levels within each standard: good, better, and best practices. The nine standards are: (1) data storage; (2) video file formats; (3) metadata linkage; (4) video data and metadata access; (5) contact information and acceptable use; (6) camera settings; (7) organism(s); (8) recording conditions; and (9) subject matter/topic. The first four standards address data preservation and interoperability for sharing, whereas standards 5-9 establish minimum metadata standards for organismal biology video, and suggest additional metadata that may be useful for some studies. This rubric was developed with substantial input from researchers and students, but still should be viewed as a living document that should be further refined and updated as technology and research practices change. The audience for these standards includes researchers, journals, and granting agencies, and also the developers and curators of databases that may contribute to video data sharing efforts. We offer this project as an example of building community consensus for data management, preservation, and sharing standards, which may be useful for future efforts by the organismal biology research community.read more

TL;DR: This work proposes a theoretical and practical framework that considers the role of changing environments and integrates functional organismal traits with the ecological variables, and outlines how to use the ecomechanical paradigm using drag-induced bending in trees as an example.
Journal ArticleDOI
The reuse of public datasets in the life sciences: potential risks and rewards.
TL;DR: The prodigious potential of reusing publicly available datasets and the associated challenges, limitations and risks are reviewed and a checklist to determine the reuse value and potential of a particular dataset is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Channel catfish use higher coordination to capture prey than to swallow
TL;DR: It is speculated that capture is more coordinated to create a single fluid flow into the mouth while transport is less coordinated so that the cranial elements can independently generate multiple flows to reposition prey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fishes can use axial muscles as anchors or motors for powerful suction feeding.
TL;DR: Results show that the epaxial muscles are not used as motors in catfish, but suggest they position and stabilize the cranium while the hypaxial muscle power mouth expansion ventrally, suggesting axial muscles can serve fundamentally different mechanical roles in generating and controlling cranial motion during suction feeding in fishes.

TL;DR: Aspects of axial skeletal morphology and body shape correlate with 3D neurocranial motions in three species, generating hypotheses of how axial shape may impact cranial motions during suction feeding in fishes.

TL;DR: The Illumina-based metagenomic sequencing, assembly and characterization of 3.3 million non-redundant microbial genes, derived from 576.7 gigabases of sequence, from faecal samples of 124 European individuals are described, indicating that the entire cohort harbours between 1,000 and 1,150 prevalent bacterial species and each individual at least 160 such species.

TL;DR: A growing body of evidence suggests that transparency, openness, and reproducibility are vital features of science as discussed by the authors, and most scientists embrace these features as disciplinary norms and values when asked, therefore, one might expect that these valued features would be routine in daily practice.
