        <gco:CharacterString>Sequence metadata hatchery and restored reef oysters 2017-2020 Dataset Description:  Methods and Sampling: &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;These data were published in Truskey et al. 2025 (Evolutionary Applications). All figure numbers and supplementary materials mentioned refer to Truskey et al. 2025 (Evolutionary Applications).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Restoration experiment and sample collection&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In April 2017, we collaborated with local oyster farmers to source oyster eyed-larvae from four commercial hatcheries for the construction of new experimental oyster reefs in Ninigret Pond (Charlestown, Rhode Island, USA). Hatchery sources were selected across a broad geographic sampling range to maximize diversity (Figure&amp;amp;nbsp;1a of Truskey et al. 2025). They included two regional hatcheries, one from Massachusetts (MA) and one from New York (NY), and two more distant hatcheries, one from Maine (ME) and one from Virginia (VA). A local Rhode Island hatchery facility received oyster eyed-larvae from each source hatchery, set the eyed-larvae on dead oyster and/or clam shell (hereafter referred to as spat-on-shell oysters), and distributed the spat-on-shell oysters to three local oyster growers (Grower 1: MA; Grower 2: ME, NY, VA; Grower 3: NY, VA) who maintained these juvenile oysters on separate leased oyster farm plots prior to reef construction. Immediately prior to reef construction, we collected 20 juvenile spat-on-shell oysters from each grower-hatchery source combination for genetic analysis (&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;n&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; = 6 combinations; Grower 1-MA; Grower 2-ME; Grower 2-NY; Grower 2-VA; Grower 3-NY; Grower 3-VA).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In October and November 2017, we constructed 16 subtidal reefs within a no-harvest Shellfish Management Area in Ninigret Pond. Reefs were created across four 0.025-acre experimental blocks, with four reefs per block (Figure&amp;amp;nbsp;2 of Truskey et al. 2025). Each reef consisted of a base layer of 0.25 cubic yards of dead oyster or clam shell deployed in October and topped with 1.25 cubic yards of spat-on-shell oysters in early November from the stock grown out by the local oyster growers. Our experiment was originally designed to seed three reefs per block with a different single hatchery source from the four available hatchery sources and to seed the fourth reef per block with a mixed combination of the three sources (e.g., Reef 1: ME, Reef 2: MA, Reef 3: NY, Reef 4: ME+MA+NY). However, analysis of the hatchery samples from oyster growers collected prior to reef construction revealed an early, unintended mixing of some of the sources (Appendix&amp;amp;nbsp;S1 of Truskey et al. 2025; Figure&amp;amp;nbsp;S1 of Truskey et al. 2025), resulting in mixtures of multiple sources on 12 out of the 16 constructed reefs. Thus, we focused our analyses on the actual genetic composition of each reef as determined by genetic sampling at two time points (fall 2018, fall 2020).&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In fall 2018, we haphazardly sampled live oysters from each reef on scuba or snorkel (&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;N&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; = 512 individuals total, 32 per reef). Oysters were put on ice and transported to the Northeastern University Marine Science Center where they were held at −80°C until DNA extraction. By the fall of 2020, live oyster densities on all experimental reefs had declined, reflecting mortality of the original planted oysters and a lack of recruitment, consistent with other data from this system (Barrett et&amp;amp;nbsp;al.&amp;amp;nbsp;2024). To assess whether this mortality was associated with a consistent change in the genetic composition of surviving oysters on reefs, we repeated our sampling in fall 2020 and compared the resulting reef genetic profiles to those from fall 2018. Reef sample sizes varied at this time point due to low live abundances (&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;N&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; = 249 individuals total, ranging from 8 to 32 per reef).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;DNA extraction, RADseq library preparation, and bioinformatics&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Genomic DNA was extracted using the E-Z 96 Tissue DNA Kit (Omega-Biotek, Norcross, GA) following the animal tissue protocol with tissue centrifugation. Double-digest restriction-site-associated DNA (ddRAD) libraries with individually barcoded samples were prepared in three batches following Parchman et al. (2012): (1) initial hatchery samples (n = 120), (2) fall 2018 reef samples (n = 480; 30 oysters per reef across 16 reefs), and (3) fall 2020 reef samples (n = 248). For additional details on ddRAD library preparation, see Appendix S2 of Truskey et al. 2025. All libraries were sequenced with 100-bp single-end reads on an Illumina platform. The initial and fall 2020 batches were sequenced on a single lane of the Illumina HiSeq 2500 at Tufts University Core Facility Genomics; the fall 2018 batch was sequenced on two lanes of the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 at the University of Texas at Austin Genomic Sequencing and Analysis Facility.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</gco:CharacterString>

Disease outbreaks in the ocean are increasing, causing losses of ecologically important marine species, but the factors contributing to these outbreaks are not well understood. This 5-year CAREER project will study disease prevalence and intensity in two marine foundation species - the seagrass Zostera marina and the Eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica. More specifically, host-disease relationships will be explored to understand how genetic diversity and population density of the host species impacts disease transmission and risk. This work will pair large-scale experimental restorations and smaller-scale field experiments to examine disease-host relationships across multiple spatial scales. Comparisons of patterns and mechanisms across the two coastal systems will provide an important first step towards identifying generalities in the diversity-density-disease relationship. To enhance the broader impacts and utility of this work, the experiments will be conducted in collaboration with restoration practitioners and guided by knowledge ascertained from key stakeholder groups. The project will support the development of an early career female researcher and multiple graduate and undergraduate students. Students will be trained in state-of-the-art molecular techniques to quantify oyster and seagrass parasites. Key findings from the surveys and experimental work will be incorporated into undergraduate courses focused on Conservation Biology, Marine Biology, and Disease Ecology. Finally, students in these courses will help develop social-ecological surveys and mutual learning games to stimulate knowledge transfer with stakeholders through a series of workshops.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The relationship between host genetic diversity and disease dynamics is complex. In some cases, known as a dilution effect, diversity reduces disease transmission and risk. However, the opposite relationship, known as the amplification effect, can also occur when diversity increases the risk of infection. Even if diversity directly reduces disease risk, simultaneous positive effects of diversity on host density could lead to amplification by increasing disease transmission between infected and uninfected individuals. Large-scale field restorations of seagrasses (Zostera marina) and oysters (Crassostrea virginica) will be utilized to test the effects of host genetic diversity on host population density and disease prevalence/intensity. Additional field experiments independently manipulating host genetic diversity and density will examine the mechanisms leading to dilution or amplification. Conducting similar manipulations in two marine foundation species - one a clonal plant and the other a non-clonal animal - will help identify commonalities in the diversity-density-disease relationship. Further, collaborations among project scientists, students, and stakeholders will enhance interdisciplinary training and help facilitate the exchange of information to improve management and restoration efforts. As part of these efforts, targeted surveys will be used to document the perceptions and attitudes of managers and restoration practitioners regarding genetic diversity and its role in ecological resilience and restoration.&lt;/p&gt;</gco:CharacterString>

                <gco:CharacterString>&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;These data were published in Truskey et al. 2025 (Evolutionary Applications). All figure numbers and supplementary materials mentioned refer to Truskey et al. 2025 (Evolutionary Applications).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Restoration experiment and sample collection&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In April 2017, we collaborated with local oyster farmers to source oyster eyed-larvae from four commercial hatcheries for the construction of new experimental oyster reefs in Ninigret Pond (Charlestown, Rhode Island, USA). Hatchery sources were selected across a broad geographic sampling range to maximize diversity (Figure&amp;amp;nbsp;1a of Truskey et al. 2025). They included two regional hatcheries, one from Massachusetts (MA) and one from New York (NY), and two more distant hatcheries, one from Maine (ME) and one from Virginia (VA). A local Rhode Island hatchery facility received oyster eyed-larvae from each source hatchery, set the eyed-larvae on dead oyster and/or clam shell (hereafter referred to as spat-on-shell oysters), and distributed the spat-on-shell oysters to three local oyster growers (Grower 1: MA; Grower 2: ME, NY, VA; Grower 3: NY, VA) who maintained these juvenile oysters on separate leased oyster farm plots prior to reef construction. Immediately prior to reef construction, we collected 20 juvenile spat-on-shell oysters from each grower-hatchery source combination for genetic analysis (&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;n&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; = 6 combinations; Grower 1-MA; Grower 2-ME; Grower 2-NY; Grower 2-VA; Grower 3-NY; Grower 3-VA).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In October and November 2017, we constructed 16 subtidal reefs within a no-harvest Shellfish Management Area in Ninigret Pond. Reefs were created across four 0.025-acre experimental blocks, with four reefs per block (Figure&amp;amp;nbsp;2 of Truskey et al. 2025). Each reef consisted of a base layer of 0.25 cubic yards of dead oyster or clam shell deployed in October and topped with 1.25 cubic yards of spat-on-shell oysters in early November from the stock grown out by the local oyster growers. Our experiment was originally designed to seed three reefs per block with a different single hatchery source from the four available hatchery sources and to seed the fourth reef per block with a mixed combination of the three sources (e.g., Reef 1: ME, Reef 2: MA, Reef 3: NY, Reef 4: ME+MA+NY). However, analysis of the hatchery samples from oyster growers collected prior to reef construction revealed an early, unintended mixing of some of the sources (Appendix&amp;amp;nbsp;S1 of Truskey et al. 2025; Figure&amp;amp;nbsp;S1 of Truskey et al. 2025), resulting in mixtures of multiple sources on 12 out of the 16 constructed reefs. Thus, we focused our analyses on the actual genetic composition of each reef as determined by genetic sampling at two time points (fall 2018, fall 2020).&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In fall 2018, we haphazardly sampled live oysters from each reef on scuba or snorkel (&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;N&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; = 512 individuals total, 32 per reef). Oysters were put on ice and transported to the Northeastern University Marine Science Center where they were held at −80°C until DNA extraction. By the fall of 2020, live oyster densities on all experimental reefs had declined, reflecting mortality of the original planted oysters and a lack of recruitment, consistent with other data from this system (Barrett et&amp;amp;nbsp;al.&amp;amp;nbsp;2024). To assess whether this mortality was associated with a consistent change in the genetic composition of surviving oysters on reefs, we repeated our sampling in fall 2020 and compared the resulting reef genetic profiles to those from fall 2018. Reef sample sizes varied at this time point due to low live abundances (&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;N&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; = 249 individuals total, ranging from 8 to 32 per reef).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;DNA extraction, RADseq library preparation, and bioinformatics&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Genomic DNA was extracted using the E-Z 96 Tissue DNA Kit (Omega-Biotek, Norcross, GA) following the animal tissue protocol with tissue centrifugation. Double-digest restriction-site-associated DNA (ddRAD) libraries with individually barcoded samples were prepared in three batches following Parchman et al. (2012): (1) initial hatchery samples (n = 120), (2) fall 2018 reef samples (n = 480; 30 oysters per reef across 16 reefs), and (3) fall 2020 reef samples (n = 248). For additional details on ddRAD library preparation, see Appendix S2 of Truskey et al. 2025. All libraries were sequenced with 100-bp single-end reads on an Illumina platform. The initial and fall 2020 batches were sequenced on a single lane of the Illumina HiSeq 2500 at Tufts University Core Facility Genomics; the fall 2018 batch was sequenced on two lanes of the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 at the University of Texas at Austin Genomic Sequencing and Analysis Facility.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</gco:CharacterString>

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Raw sequence quality was assessed with FastQC v0.11.9 (Andrews 2010), and files were demultiplexed using the process_radtags function in STACKS v2.41 (Catchen et al. 2013). Read trimming, mapping, SNP calling, and genotyping were performed with the dDocent pipeline v2.9.4 (Puritz et al. 2014), with reads mapped to the &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;C. virginica&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; genome pruned for haplotigs (Puritz et al. 2024). Variant calling was performed using Freebayes v1.3.6 (Garrison and Marth 2012). SNP loci were then filtered using vcftools v0.1.16 (Danecek et al. 2011) following standard iterative quality filtering procedures for RADseq-generated SNP data (O'Leary et al. 2018), including filters for minor allele count, base quality, genotype call rate, and read depth, followed by individual-level filtering for missing data. Because genetic assignment approaches can be sensitive to the SNP dataset used, we generated 12 SNP sets varying in minor allele frequency (MAF) threshold, locus-level filtering for missingness specific to the fall 2020 library, and pruning for high linkage disequilibrium (LD), to evaluate the robustness of downstream genetic cluster assignments to these bioinformatic decisions. Filtering outcomes for each SNP set are detailed in Table S1 of Truskey et al. 2025.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The individuals presented in this dataset are all of those retained after SNP filtering steps and used in subsequent analyses to generate individual assignments to genetic clusters.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</gco:CharacterString>
