title: Data from: The risk and intensity of sperm ejection in female birds

description: The way females utilise the gametes of different males has important
 consequences for sexual selection, sexual conflict and intersexual
 coevolution in natural populations. However, patterns of sperm utilisation
 by females are difficult to demonstrate, and their functional significance
 remains unclear. Here, we experimentally study sperm ejection in the fowl,
 Gallus gallus domesticus, where females eject preferentially the sperm of
 socially subordinate males. We study two measures of sperm ejection: (i)
 the probability that an ejaculate is ejected ('risk'), and (ii)
 the proportion of semen ejected ('intensity'), and show that
 both measures are strongly non-random with respect to characteristics of
 the ejaculate, the male and the female. Sperm ejection neutralised on
 average 80% of an ejaculate, and while larger ejaculates suffered a higher
 ejection risk, smaller ejaculates suffered more intense ejection. After
 controlling for ejaculate volume, socially subdominant males suffered
 higher ejection intensity. After controlling for male and ejaculate
 effects, ejection risk increased and intensity declined as females mated
 with successive males. Collectively, these results reveal that sperm
 ejection risk and intensity are at least partly actively caused by female
 behaviour, and generate independent selective pressures on male and
 ejaculate phenotypes.

title: Data from: Mobulid rays feed on euphausiids in the Bohol Sea

description: Mobulid rays have a conservative life history and are caught in direct
 fisheries and as by-catch. Their subsequent vulnerability to
 overexploitation has recently been recognized, but fisheries management
 can be ineffective if it ignores habitat and prey preferences and other
 trophic interactions of the target species. Here, we assessed the feeding
 ecology of four mobulids (Manta birostris, Mobula tarapacana, M. japanica,
 M. thurstoni) in the Bohol Sea, Philippines, using stomach contents
 analysis of fisheries specimens landed between November and May in
 2013–2015. We show that the mobulids feed heavily on euphausiid krill
 while they are in the area for approximately six months of the year. We
 found almost no trophic separation among the mobulid species, with
 Euphausia diomedeae as the major prey item for all species, recorded in 81
 of 89 total stomachs (91%). Mobula japanica and M. thurstoni almost
 exclusively had this krill in their stomach, while M. tarapacana had a
 squid and fish, and Ma. birostris had myctophid fishes and copepods in
 their stomachs in addition to E. diomedeae. This krill was larger than
 prey for other planktivorous elasmobranchs elsewhere and contributed a
 mean of 61 364 kcal per stomach (±105 032 kcal s.e.,
 range = 0–631 167 kcal). Our results show that vertically migrating
 mesopelagic species can be an important food resource for large filter
 feeders living in tropical seas with oligotrophic surface waters. Given
 the conservative life history of mobulid rays, the identification of
 common foraging grounds that overlap with fishing activity could be used
 to inform future fishing effort.

title: Data from: Genetic versus census estimators of the opportunity for sexual selection in the wild

description: The existence of a direct link between intensity of sexual selection and
 mating system type is widely accepted. However, the quantification of
 sexual selection has proven problematical. Several measures of sexual
 selection have been proposed, including the operational sex ratio (OSR),
 breeding sex ratio (BSR) and opportunity for sexual selection (Imates).
 For a wild population of pronghorn (Antilocapra americana), we calculated
 OSR and BSR. We estimated Imates from census data on the spatial and
 temporal distribution of receptive females in rut and from a
 multi-generational genetic pedigree. OSR and BSR indicated weak sexual
 selection on males, but census and pedigree Imates suggested stronger
 sexual selection on males than on females. OSR and BSR correlated with
 census but not pedigree estimates of Imates, and census Imates did not
 correlate with pedigree estimates. This suggests that the behavioral
 mating system, as deduced from the spatial and temporal distribution of
 females, does not predict the genetic mating system of pronghorn. The
 differences we observed between estimators were primarily due to female
 mate sampling and choice, and the sex ratio. For most species, behavioral
 data is not perfectly accurate, and therefore will be an insufficient
 alternative to using multi-generational pedigrees to quantify sexual
 selection.

title: Data from: Lectotypification of Adiantopsis alata (Pteridaceae) and descriptions of new palmate species in the Guiana Shield

description: Adiantopsis alata was described by Prantl in 1883 and was distinguished
 from A. radiata based on the presence of large adaxial carinae along the
 stipes. Morphological and molecular analyses of specimens meeting this
 general description reveal four distinct species, with one endemic to
 eastern Brazil and three others restricted to the Guiana Shield. The
 syntypes for A. alata represent two different species, one from Brazil and
 the other from Guyana. Here, we designate a Brazilian syntype as the
 lectotype for A. alata and describe and illustrate three new palmate
 species from the Guiana Shield with adaxial carinae along their stipes: A.
 aurea, A. hickeyi, and A. scalariformis. A distribution map for the new
 species and a key to all ten palmate members of Adiantopsis are provided.

title: Data from: Anticipatory flexibility: larval population density in moths determines male investment in antennae, wings and testes

description: Developmental plasticity provides individuals with a distinct advantage
 when the reproductive environment changes dramatically. Variation in
 population density, in particular, can have profound effects on male
 reproductive success. Females may be easier to locate in dense
 populations, but there may be a greater risk of sperm competition. Thus,
 males should invest in traits that enhance fertilization success over
 traits that enhance mate location. Conversely, males in less dense
 populations should invest more in structures that will facilitate mate
 location. In Lepidoptera, this may result in the development of larger
 antennae to increase the likelihood of detecting female sex pheromones,
 and larger wings to fly more efficiently. We explored the effects of
 larval density on adult morphology in the gum-leaf skeletoniser moth,
 Uraba lugens, by manipulating both the number of larvae and the size of
 the rearing container. This experimental arrangement allowed us to reveal
 the cues used by larvae to assess whether absolute number or density
 influences adult responses. Male investment in testes size depended on the
 number of individuals, while male investment in wings and antennae
 depended upon larval density. In contrast, the size of female antennae and
 wings were influenced by an interaction of larval number and container
 size. This study demonstrates that male larvae are sensitive to cues that
 may reveal adult population density, and adjust investment in traits
 associated with fertilization success and mate detection accordingly.

title: Data from: RAD sequencing yields a high success rate for westslope cutthroat and rainbow trout species-diagnostic SNP assays

description: Hybridization with introduced rainbow trout threatens most native
 westslope cutthroat trout populations. Understanding the genetic effects
 of hybridization and introgression requires a large set of
 high-throughput, diagnostic genetic markers to inform conservation and
 management. Recently, we identified several thousand candidate single
 nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers based on RAD sequencing of 11
 westslope cutthroat trout and 13 rainbow trout individuals. Here we used
 flanking sequence for 56 of these candidate SNP markers to design
 high-throughput genotyping assays. We validated the assays on a total of
 92 individuals from 22 populations and seven hatchery strains. Forty-six
 assays (82%) amplified consistently and allowed easy identification of
 westslope cutthroat and rainbow trout alleles as well as heterozygote
 controls. The 46 SNPs will provide high power for early detection of
 population admixture and improved identification of hybrid and
 non-hybridized individuals. This technique shows promise as a very
 low-cost, reliable, and relatively rapid method for developing and testing
 SNP markers for non-model organisms with limited genomic resources.

title: Data from: Low genetic variance in the duration of the incubation period in a collared flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis) population

description: The avian incubation period is associated with high energetic costs and
 mortality risks suggesting that there should be strong selection to reduce
 the duration to the minimum required for normal offspring development.
 Although there is much variation in the duration of the incubation period
 across species, there is also variation within species. Estimating to what
 extent this variation is genetically determined is needed if we want to
 predict the evolutionary potential of this trait. Here we use a long-term
 study of collared flycatchers to examine the genetic basis of variation in
 incubation duration. We demonstrate limited genetic variance as reflected
 in the low and non-significant additive genetic variance with a
 corresponding heritability of 0.04 and coefficient of additive genetic
 variance of 2.16. Any selection acting on incubation duration will
 therefore be inefficient. To our knowledge this is the first time
 heritability of incubation duration has been estimated in a natural bird
 population.

title: Data from: Understanding nutrient dynamics in an African savanna: local biotic interactions outweigh a major regional rainfall gradient

description: Nutrient availability in terrestrial ecosystems has been found to vary
 along regional climatic and soil gradients and drive variation in plant
 community composition and vegetation structure. However, more local biotic
 feedbacks also affect nutrient availability, but their importance in
 determining vegetation structure relative to regional drivers is yet
 unclear. Mesic African savannas form a transition zone between the dry
 grasslands with relatively low nitrogen availability (indicated by low
 plant N:P ratios) and the wet woodlands of the continent characterized by
 relatively low phosphorous availability (high plant N:P ratios). They host
 strong feedback mechanisms of both vegetation and consumers, where large
 grazers can create short grazing lawns that alternate over short distances
 with tall fire-dominated bunch grasslands, and patches dominated by woody
 species with abundant macrodetritivores. Here, we test if such local
 biotic interactions can overrule regional, landscape-level drivers of
 plant nutrient availability. In a South African savanna, we find that
 plant N:P ratios, N and P resorption efficiencies and proficiencies, were
 indeed much stronger affected by small-scale biotic-created heterogeneity
 than by a regional rainfall gradient (530-830 mm yr-1). Furthermore, we
 observe that differences in N:P ratios between vegetation structural types
 are not caused by simple differences in inherent plant traits. This
 suggests that availability of N and P to plants is strongly contingent on
 the local biotic interplay between different vegetation structural types
 and within-system feedbacks linked to each vegetation type. The regional
 rainfall gradient did affect nutrient availability, but mainly through its
 effect on the relative distribution of the different vegetation structural
 types thus setting the range of possible outcomes of biotic interactions.
 Synthesis: Regional and global studies that model savanna carbon and
 nutrient cycling only on the basis of regional gradients in soil and
 climatic conditions may insufficiently capture the dominant ecosystem
 processes involved.

title: Data from: Density-mediated carry-over effects explain variation in breeding output across time in a seasonal population

description: In seasonal environments, where density dependence can operate throughout
 the annual cycle, vital rates are typically considered to be a function of
 the number of individuals at the beginning of each season. However,
 variation in density in the previous season could also cause surviving
 individuals to be in poor physiological condition, which could carry over
 to influence individual success in the following season. We examine this
 hypothesis using replicated populations of Drosophila melanogaster, the
 common fruitfly, over 23 non-overlapping generations with distinct
 breeding and non-breeding seasons. We found that the density at the
 beginning of the non-breeding season negatively affected the fresh weight
 of individuals that survived the non-breeding season and resulted in a 25%
 decrease in per capita breeding output among those that survived to the
 next season to breed. At the population level, per capita breeding output
 was best explained by a model that incorporated density at the beginning
 of the previous non-breeding season (carry-over effect, COE) and density
 at the beginning of the breeding season. Our results support the idea that
 density-mediated COEs are critical for understanding population dynamics
 in seasonal environments.

title: Data from: Evolutionary history and genetic parallelism affect correlated responses to evolution

description: We investigated the relationship between genomic and phenotypic evolution
 among replicate populations of Escherichia coli evolved for 1000
 generations in four different environments. By re-sequencing evolved
 genomes, we identified parallel changes in genes encoding transcription
 regulators within and between environments. Depending on both the
 environment and the altered gene, genetic parallelism at the gene level
 involved mutations that either repeatedly affected identical codons or
 domains or were more widely distributed within the relevant genes. Evolved
 clones were characterized by parallel phenotypic changes in their
 respective evolution environments but also in the three alternative
 environments. Phenotypic parallelism for both traits was high for clones
 that evolved in the same environment, even in the absence of genetic
 parallelism. By contrast, clones that evolved in different environments
 revealed a higher parallelism in correlated responses when they shared
 mutated genes. Altogether, this work shows that after an environmental
 change or the colonization of a new habitat, similar ecological
 performances might be expected for individuals that shared mutated genes
 or experienced similar past selective pressures.

title: <b>Federated vision transformer enabling collaborative object manipulation in bandwidth-limited multi-robot systems</b>

description: Multi-robot collaborative object manipulation systems have broad application prospects in intelligent manufacturing and warehouse logistics, but the limited computational power of edge devices and wireless communication bandwidth constraints severely restrict the distributed deployment of deep learning models. This paper proposes a multi-robot collaborative control framework integrating federated learning and Vision Transformer, aiming to achieve efficient collaborative manipulation under bandwidth-constrained conditions. At the model level, a lightweight Vision Transformer architecture based on depthwise separable convolution tokenization and bottleneck feed-forward networks is designed, achieving 78.4±1.2% object detection accuracy and 34.7 FPS inference speed with only 5.4M parameters. At the communication level, bandwidth-adaptive gradient compression and asynchronous aggregation strategies are constructed, enabling importance-based transmission through gradient importance scoring, reducing communication overhead by 87.3% while maintaining model accuracy loss below 2%. At the collaboration level, a distributed task allocation and trajectory coordination mechanism based on shared latent space is established, enabling multiple robots to achieve safe and efficient collaborative operations under limited communication conditions. Simulation and real robot experiments demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a 92.7±1.8% task success rate (mean ± 95% CI, n = 5 runs) in industrial parts sorting scenarios, with a three-robot collaboration speedup ratio of 2.62±0.18 and a 74.5%±4.2% reduction in collision occurrences. It should be noted that this framework achieves data locality through gradient-only communication rather than formal differential privacy guarantees. This framework provides an effective technical solution for multi-robot system deployment in bandwidth-constrained environments.
