The role of digital data entry in participatory environmental monitoring - Jeremy R. Brammer; Nicolas D. Brunet; A. Cole Burton; Alain Cuerrier; Finn Danielsen; Kanwaljeet Dewan; Thora Martina Herrmann; Micha V. Jackson; Rod Kennett; Guillaume Larocque; Monica Mulrennan; Arun Kumar Pratihast; et al. (Conservation Biology, 2016)
Many argue that monitoring conducted exclusively by scientists is insufficient to address ongoing environmental challenges. One solution entails the use of mobile digital devices in participatory monitoring (PM) programs. But how digital data entry affects programs with varying levels of stakeholder participation, from nonscientists collecting field data to nonscientists administering every step of a monitoring program, remains unclear. We reviewed the successes, in terms of management interventions and sustainability, of 107 monitoring programs described in the literature (hereafter programs) and compared these with case studies from our PM experiences in Australia, Canada, Ethiopia, Ghana, Greenland, and Vietnam (hereafter cases). Our literature review showed that participatory programs were less likely to use digital devices, and 2 of our 3 more participatory cases were also slow to adopt digital data entry. Programs that were participatory and used digital devices were more likely to report management actions, which was consistent with cases in Ethiopia, Greenland, and Australia. Programs engaging volunteers were more frequently reported as ongoing, but those involving digital data entry were less often sustained when data collectors were volunteers. For the Vietnamese and Canadian cases, sustainability was undermined by a mismatch in stakeholder objectives. In the Ghanaian case, complex field protocols diminished monitoring sustainability. Innovative technologies attract interest, but the foundation of effective participatory adaptive monitoring depends more on collaboratively defined questions, objectives, conceptual models, and monitoring approaches. When this foundation is built through effective partnerships, digital data entry can enable the collection of more data of higher quality. Without this foundation, or when implemented ineffectively or unnecessarily, digital data entry can be an additional expense that distracts from core monitoring objectives and undermines project sustainability. The appropriate role of digital data entry in PM likely depends more on the context in which it is used and less on the technology itself.

In this study, a new cell line derived from the caudal fin of the freshwater angelfish Pterophyllum scalare was developed and characterized. The cell line was designated angelfish fin ( AFF ) and subcultured 44 times since its development. These cells grew well in Leibovitz's −15 medium supplemented with 10% foetal bovine saline ( FBS ) at 28° C and the modal chromosome number (2 n ) was 48. The AFF cell‐line is mainly comprised of epithelial cells as confirmed by immunocytological technique using anti‐cytokeratin antibodies, an epithelial cell marker. This cell line was tested for growth in a temperatures range from 20 to 37° C and at various FBS concentrations of 5–20% at 28° C. The cell line was cryopreserved at different passage levels and revived successfully with 80% survival rate. Polymerase chain reaction amplification and sequencing of partial mitochondrial 16s rRNA and coI genes confirmed that the AFF cell‐line originated from angelfish. Mycoplasma sp. contamination was not detected in AFF cells and checked by Hoechst 33258 fluorescence staining. At the 42nd passage the cells were transfected with 2 μg of pAcGFP1‐N1 expression vector. The AFF cells exhibited cytotoxic effects when exposed to the bacterial extra cellular products from Serratia marcescens and Proteus hauseri . The AFF cells and cells from kidney and brain did not show cytopathic effect when exposed to cyprinid herpes virus2 and viral nervous necrosis virus. The newly developed AFF cell line will be useful for the isolation of viruses affecting angelfishes, such as iridoviruses, in the future.

Indian Ocean Dipole modulated wave climate of eastern Arabian Sea - T. R. Anoop; V. Sanil Kumar; P. R. Shanas; J. Glejin; M. M. Amrutha (Ocean Science, 2016)
Intrinsic modes of variability have a significant role in driving the climatic oscillations in the oceanic processes. In this paper, we investigate the influence of an inter-annual mode of variability, the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), on the wave climate of the eastern Arabian Sea (AS). Using measured, modeled and reanalysis wave data and reanalysis wind data, we show that the IOD plays a major role in the variability of wave climate of the study region. Due to the IOD-induced changes in equatorial sea surface temperature and sea level pressure, the winds from the northern AS gets modified and cause inter-annual variability in the wave climate over the eastern AS. The changes in wind field over the AS due to the IOD influence the generation or dissipation of the wave field and hence cause a decrease in northwest short-period waves during positive IOD and an increase during negative IOD.

Trends and behaviour of meteorological drought (1901–2008) over Indian region using standardized precipitation–evapotranspiration index - Prabir Kumar Das; Dibyendu Dutta; J. R. Sharma; V. K. Dadhwal (International Journal of Climatology, 2016)
Monthly gridded (0.5° × 0.5°) standardized precipitation–evapotranspiration index ( SPEI ) data of 1901–2008 were used to detect spatial pattern of temporal trend in meteorological drought during the Indian summer monsoon period. The SPEI data were converted into drought duration, magnitude and types of occurrence to capture overall drought scenario. A non‐parametric (Mann–Kendall test) method was used to test for monotonic trend at each grid level, whereas the magnitude was estimated using Sen's method. Further, a field significance test was performed at major meteorological regions level to assess whether the individual trends identified could occur by chance in an analysis of large number of time series analysed. Significant ( α = 0.05) increasing trend of both drought duration and magnitude during the monsoon was found over parts of eastern, central and north‐eastern region of India, whereas the parts of west coast, arid western region and north India showed significantly decreasing trend. The trends in mid‐ as well as late‐season drought were contributing towards significant increase in drought condition, whereas trends in early‐season drought were responsible for decrease in drought events. The time series analysis of rainfall and potential evapotranspiration ( PET ) illustrated that over eastern part of India the increase in drought was attributed due to decrease in rainfall, whereas the decrease in drought occurrence over western arid region was mainly because of decrease in PET .
