“…However, our initial observations were all of dead flies that had already ejected their spores ( Fig S1A). Studies in M. domestica have shown that, at room temperature, the majority of E. muscae's infectious spores are ejected within the first approximately twelve hours of an infected host's death, and lose infectivity within 48 hours of landing on a non-host substrate [35]. Thus, to culture E. muscae 'Berkeley' we needed to procure freshly-killed flies to ensure access to viable conidia.…”

13 14Many microbes induce striking behavioral changes in their animal hosts, but how they achieve these effects 15 is poorly understood, especially at the molecular level. This is due in large part to the lack of a robust system 16 amenable to modern molecular manipulation. We recently discovered a strain of the behavior-manipulating 27established E. muscae system will permit rapid progress in understanding how microbes manipulate animal 28 behavior.

“…The presence of inherited zircon and low concentrations of Zr in the plagiogranite suggests that zirconium is saturated in the melt, which is in accordance with the requirements for the zircon saturation thermometry (Miller, McDowell, & Mapes, ). The zircon saturation temperatures (T Zr ; Table ) vary from 702 to 755 °C, with an average value of 726 °C (Kalsbeek, Pell, & Steenberg, ), which is interpreted to represent the initial temperature of the source magma of the plagiogranite. Thus, the suggested relatively low initial magma temperature also verifies low‐degree partial melting of the source rock.…”

Tectonic significance of the Late Carboniferous Zhunmubutai ophiolitic mélange from Xi‐Ujimqin, Inner Mongolia

The Zhunmubutai ophiolitic mélange is a newly discovered ophiolite suite located between the Solonker-Linxi ophiolite belt and the Erenhot-Hegenshan-Xi-Ujimqin ophiolite belt, the central part of Xilinhot Microcontinent (XLMC). It was composed of plagiogranite, pyroxene peridotite, pillow basaltic andesite, and associated mafic rocks and surrounded by a quartz diorite pluton and mélange zone containing sandstones and slates of Early Permian Shoushangou Formation.In this study, zircon grains from a quartz diorite and a plagiogranite yield 206 Pb/ 238 U ages of 313 ± 1 Ma (MSWD = 1.60, n = 20) and 328 ± 1 Ma (MSWD = 0.9, n = 93), respectively. Sixtyfour zircons from the slate yielded ages ranging from 307 to 2,313 Ma, and with a peak at 340 Ma. These data indicate the Zhunmubutai ophiolitic mélange formed 300 to 340 Ma. The Zhunmubutai plagiogranites that have low contents of K 2 O (0.07-0.33 wt.%), K 2 O/Na 2 O (0.02-0.09), and Rb/Sr (0.01-0.05) show an oceanic plagiogranites affinity. They are also characterized by low contents of TiO 2 , Nd, Ta, and significant LREE enrichment. Furthermore, the ε Hf (328 Ma) values range from 14.23 to 18.87. These features suggest that the plagiogranite was originated by the anatexis of amphibolites and with crustal contamination. Combined with previous studies, suggest that the Zhunmubutai ophiolitic mélange may have formed in an extensional environment during the early stages of opening of an ocean basin.

“…In addition, the high ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) i (0.70834) value is also close to one of the S‐type granites (Chappell & White, ). The presence of inherited cores and low concentrations of Zr in the granites are strong evidence for granite formation at low temperatures, and the zircon saturation temperatures (T Zr ; Table ) vary from 787 to 831 °C, with an average value 812 °C (Kalsbeek, Pell, & Steenberg, ). It is evident from Figure that the compositions of the samples are comparable with melts produced at low–medium pressure (average 3.5 kb).…”

Geochemistry and zircon U–Pb–Hf isotopes of the granitoids of Qianjinchang pluton in the Xi Ujimqi, Inner Mongolia: Implications for petrogenesis and geodynamic setting

et al. 2017

We conducted zircon U–Pb dating and geochemical analyses for the Qianjinchang (QJC) pluton in the Xi Ujimqi, Northeast China, with an aim to determine their ages, petrogenesis, and sources. The QJC pluton consists of coarse/medium‐grained biotite monzogranite in the core and fine‐grained biotite granodiorite in the rim; those rocks intrude into quartz diorite but are intruded by minor intrusive phases, including small biotite syenogranite, diorite bodies, late diorite, granodiorite, granite, and pegmatite dykes. Our new laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry zircon U–Pb data indicate that the QJC composite pluton composed of 2 phases of magmatic activities, with the ages of 301~313 Ma for the quartz diorite, 283 ± 1 Ma for the biotite granodiorite, 280 ± 1 Ma for the biotite syenogranite, and 280 ± 2 Ma for the diorite dyke. Hf isotopic analyses for the quartz diorite sample show εHf (t) = 3.75 to 11.72, with 2‐stage Hf model age (TDM2) ranging 568–1,078 Ma. The biotite syenogranite sample also shows a depleted εHf (t) = 4.47 to 8.71, with TDM2 ranging 745–1,015 Ma, suggesting the major involvement of juvenile crustal components. The various εHf values of the QJC pluton indicate a hybrid magma source of juvenile material with old crustal component, and the TDM2 values increase from the Carboniferous to Permian, which suggests an increasing proportion of old continental material during this period. Petrological and geochemical characteristics of the biotite granodiorite and biotite monzogranite samples suggest that they are S‐type granites and derived from partial melting of the clay‐poor, plagioclase‐rich psammitic source, produced at low‐medium pressure. The biotite syenogranite sample belongs to alkaline and shoshonitic series and probably formed by a hybridization process between basaltic magma and old continental components. Combined with previous studies on the contemporaneous magma‐tectonic activities in the Xilinhot microcontinent, we suggest that the QJC pluton formed in a postcollisional setting.
