title: Data from: Matching geographical assignment by stable isotopes with African non-breeding sites of Barn swallows Hirundo rustica tracked by geolocation

description: Knowledge on whereabouts within the annual cycle of migratory species is
 prerequisite for many aspects in ecology and biological conservation.
 Spatial assignments of stable isotopes archived in tissues allows for
 later inference on sites where the specific tissue had been grown.. It has
 been rarely tested whether spatial assignments match directly tracked
 non-breeding residences, especially for migratory songbirds. We here
 compare assignments of stable isotopes from feathers of Palaearctic Barn
 swallows Hirundo rustica with their African non-breeding residence sites
 tracked by geolocation. Assignments based on δ2H, δ13C and δ15N isotope
 compositions delineate three main non-breeding regions: a main cluster in
 central Africa, a second in West Africa, and the third cluster in Northern
 Africa. Using δ13C, δ15N only, non-breeding sites ranged from clusters in
 West/Southwest Africa to South East Africa with a centre in Central
 Africa. The non-breeding areas (50% and 75% Kernel density estimates, KDE)
 of the birds tracked by geolocation stretched from West Africa via central
 Africa to southern Africa. We found little overlap of 0.3% (assuming an
 1:1 odds ratio) to 1.4 % (3:1 odds ratio) in the three element assignments
 and KDEs for only 2 and 13 individuals out of 32 birds. Assignment maps
 for two elements (δ13C, δ15N) and KDEs showed higher consistencies with an
 overlap of 3.6 and 8.5% for 12 and 18 birds. We argue that the low
 matching between stable isotope assignments and non-breeding sites in our
 study arise from insufficient baseline data for Africa (concerning both
 isoscapes and specific discrimination functions). However, other factors
 like aerial foraging habit of the species, and a potential mismatch of
 non-breeding site location and the spatial origin of aerial plankton might
 further hamper accurate assignments. Finally we call for concerted
 analyses of tissues i.e. feathers and claws of birds which are grown at
 known sites across the continent and from species with various ecological
 requirements (diverse habitats, foraging behaviours, and diet
 compositions) to establish isoscapes for general applicability.

title: Data from: Seasonal difference in temporal transferability of an ecological model: near-term predictions of lemming outbreak abundances

description: Ecological models have been criticized for a lack of validation of their
 temporal transferability. Here we answer this call by investigating the
 temporal transferability of a dynamic state-space model developed to
 estimate season-dependent biotic and climatic predictors of spatial
 variability in outbreak abundance of the Norwegian lemming. Modelled
 summer and winter dynamics parametrized by spatial trapping data from one
 cyclic outbreak were validated with data from a subsequent outbreak. There
 was a distinct difference in model transferability between seasons. Summer
 dynamics had good temporal transferability, displaying ecological models’
 potential to be temporally transferable. However, the winter dynamics
 transferred poorly. This discrepancy is likely due to a temporal
 inconsistency in the ability of the climate predictor (i.e. elevation) to
 reflect the winter conditions affecting lemmings both directly and
 indirectly. We conclude that there is an urgent need for data and models
 that yield better predictions of winter processes, in particular in face
 of the expected rapid climate change in the Arctic.

title: Data from: The genetic basis of a rare flower color polymorphism in Mimulus lewisii provides insight to the evolutionary mutation spectrum

description: A long-standing question in evolutionary biology asks whether the genetic
 changes contributing to phenotypic evolution are predictable. Here, we
 identify a genetic change associated with segregating variation in flower
 color within a population of Mimulus lewisii. To determine whether these
 types of changes are predictable, we combined this information with data
 from other species to investigate whether the spectrum of mutations
 affecting flower color transitions differs based on the evolutionary
 time-scale since divergence. We used classic genetic techniques, along
 with gene expression and population genetic approaches, to identify the
 putative, loss-of-function mutation that generates rare, white flowers
 instead of the common, pink color in M. lewisii. We found that a
 frameshift mutation in an anthocyanin pathway gene is responsible for the
 white-flowered polymorphism found in this population of M. lewisii.
 Comparison of our results with data from other species reveals a broader
 spectrum of flower color mutations segregating within populations relative
 to those that fix between populations. These results suggest that the
 genetic basis of fixed differences in flower color may be predictable, but
 that for segregating variation is not.

title: Data from: Evolutionary history of Daphnia drives divergence in grazing selectivity and alters temporal community dynamics of producers

description: Consumers with different seasonal life histories encounter different
 communities of producers during specific seasonal phases. If consumers
 evolve to prefer the producers that they encounter, then consumers may
 reciprocally influence the temporal composition of producer communities.
 Here we study the keystone consumer Daphnia ambigua, whose seasonal life
 history has diverged due to intraspecific predator divergence across lakes
 of New England. We ask whether grazing preferences of Daphnia have
 diverged also, and test whether any grazing differences influence temporal
 composition patterns of producers. We reared clonal populations of Daphnia
 from natural populations representing the two diverged life history types
 for multiple generations. We conducted short-term (24 hours) and long-term
 (27 days) grazing experiments in equal polycultures consisting of 3 diatom
 and 2 green algae species, treated with no consumer, Daphnia from lakes
 with anadromous alewife, or from lakes with landlocked alewife. After 24
 hours, life history and grazing preference divergence in Daphnia ambigua
 drove significant differences in producer composition. However, those
 differences disappeared at the end of the 27-day experiment. Our results
 illustrate that, despite potentially more complex long-term dynamics, a
 multitrophic cascade of evolutionary divergence from a predator can
 influence temporal community dynamics at the producer level.

title: Data from: Context-dependent outcomes in a reproductive mutualism between two freshwater fish species

description: 1. The development of encompassing general models of ecology is precluded
 by underrepresentation of certain taxa and systems. Models predicting
 context-dependent outcomes of biotic interactions have been tested using
 plants and bacteria, but their applicability to higher taxa is largely
 unknown. 2. We examined context dependency in a reproductive mutualism
 between two stream fish species: mound nest-building bluehead chub Nocomis
 leptocephalus and mountain redbelly dace Chrosomus oreas, which often uses
 N. leptocephalus nests for spawning. We hypothesized that increased
 predator density and decreased substrate availability would increase the
 propensity of C. oreas to associate with N. leptocephalus and decrease
 reproductive success of both species. 3. In a large-scale in situ
 experiment, we manipulated egg predator density and presence of both
 symbionts (biotic context), and replicated the experiment in habitats
 containing high- and low-quality spawning substrate (abiotic context). 4.
 Contradictory to our first hypothesis, we observed that C. oreas did not
 spawn without its host. The interaction outcome switched from
 commensalistic to mutualistic with changing abiotic and biotic contexts,
 although the net outcome was mutualistic. 5. The results of this study
 yielded novel insight into how context dependency operates in vertebrate
 mutualisms. Although the dilution effect provided by C. oreas positively
 influenced reproductive success of N. leptocephalus, it was not enough to
 overcome both egg predation and poor spawning habitat quality. Outcomes of
 the interaction may be ultimately determined by associate density. Studies
 of context dependency in vertebrate systems require detailed knowledge of
 species life-history traits.

title: Data from: Early and adult social environments shape sex-specific actuarial senescence patterns in a cooperative breeder

description: Sociality modulates life history traits through changes in resource
 allocation to fitness-related traits. However, how social factors at
 different stages of the life cycle modulate senescence remains poorly
 understood. To address this question, we assessed the influence of social
 environment in both early life and adulthood on actuarial senescence in
 the Alpine marmot, a cooperative breeder. The influence of helpers on
 actuarial senescence strongly differed depending on when help was
 provided, and on the sex of the dominant. Being helped when adult slowed
 down senescence in both sexes. However, the effect of the presence of
 helpers the year of birth of a dominant was sex-specific. Among dominants
 helped during adulthood, females born in the presence of helpers senesced
 slower, whereas males senesced faster. Among dominants without helpers
 during adulthood, females with helpers at birth senesced faster. Social
 environment modulates senescence, but acts differently between sexes and
 life stages.

title: Data from: Genetic admixture predicts parasite intensity: evidence for increased hybrid performance in Darwin’s tree finches

description: Hybridisation can increase adaptive potential when enhanced genetic
 diversity or novel genetic combinations confer a fitness advantage, such
 as in the evolution of anti-parasitic mechanisms. Island systems are
 especially susceptible to invasive parasites due to the lack of defence
 mechanisms that usually coevolve in long-standing host-parasite
 relationships. We test if host genetic admixture affects parasite numbers
 in a novel host-parasite association on the Galápagos Islands.
 Specifically, we compare the number of Philornis downsi in nests with
 offspring sired by Darwin’s small tree finch (Camarhynchus parvulus),
 Darwin’s medium tree finch (C. pauper), and hybrids of these two species.
 The number of P. downsi decreased with increasing genetic admixture of the
 attending male, and nests of hybrid males had ~ 50 % fewer parasites than
 C. parvulus nests, and ~ 60 % fewer parasites than C. pauper nests. This
 finding indicates that hybridisation in this system could be favoured by
 selection and reveal a mechanism to combat an invasive parasite.

title: Data from: Cover, not caging, influences chronic physiological stress in a ground-nesting bird

description: Predator exclosures (‘nest cages’) around nests are increasingly used to
 enhance hatching success of declining ground-nesting birds. However, such
 exclosures are contentious and have been suggested to have detrimental
 effects on the species which they aim to protect. This study examines
 whether exclosures increase physiological stress of incubating birds, a
 hitherto unrecognised and untested potential drawback of exclosures.
 Red-capped plover Charadrius ruficapillus hatching success was radically
 altered and significantly higher for nests with exclosures (96.2%)
 compared with those without (6.8%). Chronic physiological stress in
 parents (as measured by the heterophil/lymphocyte [H/L] ratio in blood)
 did not vary between nests with and without exclosures, or between the
 sexes. However the absence of vegetative cover at the nest site was
 associated with a 62.7% elevation in H/L ratio, indicating that incubating
 birds which place their nests in the open are subject to increased levels
 of chronic stress. The results from this study demonstrate the fundamental
 importance of predation for the nesting success of this species and
 confirm that chronic stress levels are not a detrimental side effect of
 exclosure use.

title: Data from: From gestation to weaning: combining robust design and multi-event models unveils cost of lactation in a large herbivore

description: 1. The cost of current reproduction on survival or future reproduction is
 one of the most studied trade-offs governing resource distribution between
 fitness components. Results have often been clouded, however, by the
 existence of individual heterogeneity, with high-quality individuals able
 to allocate energy to several functions simultaneously, at no apparent
 cost. 2. Surprisingly, it has also rarely been assessed within a breeding
 season by breaking down the various reproductive efforts of females from
 gestation to weaning, even though resource availability and energy
 requirements vary greatly. 3. We filled this gap by using an intensively
 monitored population of Pyrenean chamois and by expanding a new
 methodological approach integrating robust design in a multi-event
 framework. We distinguished females that gave birth or not, and among
 reproducing females whether they lost their kid or successfully raised it
 until weaning. We estimated spring and summer juvenile survival,
 investigated whether gestation, lactation or weaning incurred costs on the
 next reproductive occasion, and assessed how individual heterogeneity
 influenced the detection of such costs. 4. Contrary to expectations if
 trade-offs occur, we found a positive relationship between gestation and
 adult survival suggesting that non-breeding females are in poor condition.
 Costs of reproduction were expressed through negative relationships
 between lactation and both subsequent breeding probability and spring
 juvenile survival. Such costs could be detected only once individual
 heterogeneity (assessed as two groups contrasting good vs poor breeders)
 and time variations in juvenile survival were accounted for. Early
 lactation decreased the probability of future reproduction, providing
 quantitative evidence of the fitness cost of this period recognized as the
 most energetically demanding in female mammals and critical for neonatal
 survival. 5. The new approach employed made it possible to estimate two
 components of kid survival that are often considered practically
 unavailable in free ranging populations, and also revealed that
 reproductive costs appeared only when contrasting the different stages of
 reproductive effort. From an evolutionary perspective, our findings
 stressed the importance of the temporal resolution at which reproductive
 cost is studied, and also provided insights on the reproductive period
 during which internal and external factors would be expected to have the
 greatest fitness impact.

title: Data from: Vomiting as a symptom and transmission risk in norovirus illness: evidence from human challenge studies

description: Background: In the US, noroviruses are estimated to cause 21 million cases
 annually with economic losses reaching $2 billion. Outbreak investigations
 frequently implicate vomiting as a major transmission risk. However,
 little is known about the characteristics of vomiting as a symptom or the
 amount of virus present in emesis. Methodology and Principal Findings:
 Emesis samples and symptomology data were obtained from previous norovirus
 human challenge studies with GI.1 Norwalk virus, GII.2 Snow Mountain
 virus, and a pilot study with GII.1 Hawaii virus. Viral titers in emesis
 were determined using strain-specific quantitative RT-PCR. In all four
 studies, vomiting was common with 40–100% of infected subjects vomiting at
 least once. However, only 45% of subjects with vomiting also had diarrhea.
 Most of the emesis samples had detectable virus and the mean viral titers
 were 8.0 x 105 and 3.9 x 104 genomic equivalent copies (GEC)/ml for GI and
 GII viruses, respectively (p = 0.02). Sample pH was correlated with GII.2
 Snow Mountain virus detection. Conclusions and Significance: Half of all
 subjects with symptomatic infection experienced vomiting and the average
 subject shed 1.7 x 108 GEC in emesis. Unlike shedding through stool,
 vomiting is more likely to result in significant environmental
 contamination, leading to transmission through fomites and airborne
 droplets. This quantitative data will be critical for risk assessment
 studies to further understand norovirus transmission and develop effective
 control measures. The correlation between sample pH and virus detection is
 consistent with a single site of virus replication in the small intestine
 and stomach contents becoming contaminated by intestinal reflux.
 Additionally, the frequency of vomiting without concurrent diarrhea
 suggests that epidemiology studies that enroll subjects based on the
 presence of diarrhea may be significantly underestimating the true burden
 of norovirus disease.

title: Data from: Combining statistical inference and decisions in ecology

description: Statistical decision theory (SDT) is a sub-field of decision theory that
 formally incorporates statistical investigation into a decision-theoretic
 framework to account for uncertainties in a decision problem. SDT provides
 a unifying analysis of three types of information: statistical results
 from a data set, knowledge of the consequences of potential choices (i.e.,
 loss), and prior beliefs about a system. SDT links the theoretical
 development of a large body of statistical methods including point
 estimation, hypothesis testing, and confidence interval estimation. The
 theory and application of SDT have mainly been developed and published in
 the fields of mathematics, statistics, operations research, and other
 decision sciences, but have had limited exposure in ecology. Thus, we
 provide an introduction to SDT for ecologists and describe its utility for
 linking the conventionally separate tasks of statistical investigation and
 decision making in a single framework. We describe the basic framework of
 both Bayesian and frequentist SDT, its traditional use in statistics, and
 discuss its application to decision problems that occur in ecology. We
 demonstrate SDT with two types of decisions: Bayesian point estimation,
 and an applied management problem of selecting a prescribed fire rotation
 for managing a grassland bird species. Central to SDT, and decision theory
 in general, are loss functions. Thus, we also provide basic guidance and
 references for constructing loss functions for an SDT problem.
