title: Data from: Northward expanding resident species benefit from warming winters through increased foraging rates and predator vigilance

description: Species distributions shift northwards due to climate change, but the
 ecological mechanisms allowing range expansions are not fully understood.
 Most studies have concentrated on breeding seasons, but winter warming may
 also be important. Wintering distributions are restricted by food
 availability and temperature, which may also interact. Foraging in cold
 conditions requires adaptations as individuals have to be efficient in
 foraging, while staying warm and vigilant for predators. When the ambient
 temperature declines, foraging rates should be reduced due to increased
 time spent on warming behaviours. In addition, predator vigilance should
 decline, because more time has to be invested in foraging. Cold weather
 should limit northward expanding southern species in particular, while
 northern species should perform better in cold conditions. We tested this
 by studying temperature responses (between 0 and − 35 °C) among wintering
 birds at feeders. We compared foraging behaviours of two northward
 expanding southern species, the great tit (Parus major) and the blue tit
 (Cyanistes caeruleus) to a northern species, the willow tit (Poecile
 montanus). Foraging rate and vigilance decreased, and warming behaviour
 increased when temperatures declined. Importantly, the performance in
 these traits was poorer in the southern species compared to the willow
 tit. Furthermore, the response to decreasing temperatures in foraging
 rates and warming behaviour was stronger in the great tits than willow
 tits. As the winters become warmer, these mechanisms should increase
 wintering success of southern species wintering at high latitudes, and
 lead to higher survival, increased population growth, and consequent range
 expansion.

title: Data from: Network size‐dependent impact on vegetative growth and sexual reproduction in clonal patches of white clover Trifolium repens

description: In natural habitats, clonal plants form interconnected ramet networks of
 varied sizes. In large and small networks, ramets may be presumed to apply
 distinct strategies of investing in vegetative growth and sexual
 reproduction. This very hypothesis was tested in the course of our
 experiment in the field. The study encompassed 16 patches of white clover
 (Trifolium repens L.), which were divided into two groups: small and
 large. Separate zones, i.e., central, middle and marginal, were isolated
 within each clonal patch. In small networks, the share of sexually
 reproducing ramets is prevalent compared with vegetative growth, while the
 opposite is the case in large ones: vegetative growth is the predominant
 mode of proliferation. The highest quantity of ramets which reproduced
 sexually was observed in the outlying regions of large networks. The
 findings were elucidated (1) with respect to habitat resources used by
 ramets in networks, and (2) by means of the model of optimal allocation of
 resources to sexual and vegetative reproduction in perennial plants. It is
 our conviction that the factor which significantly promoted increased
 sexual reproduction of ramets in the small patches was more extensive
 access to water and nutrients, whose availability was in turn limited in
 the large patches.

title: Data from: Space use and genetic structure do not maintain colour polymorphism in a species with alternative behavioural strategies

description: Space use including territoriality and spatial arrangement within a
 population can reveal important information on the nature, dynamics and
 evolutionary maintenance of alternative strategies in colour polymorphic
 species. Despite the prevalence of colour polymorphic species as model
 systems in evolutionary biology, the interaction between space-use and
 genetic structuring of morphs within populations has rarely been examined.
 Here we assess the spatial and genetic structure of male throat colour
 morphs within a population of the tawny dragon lizard, Ctenophorus
 decresii. Male colour morphs do not differ in morphology but differ in
 aggressive and anti-predator behaviours as well as androgen levels.
 Despite these behavioural and endocrine differences, we find that colour
 morphs do not differ in territory size, with their spatial arrangement
 being essentially random with respect to each other. There were no
 differences in genetic diversity or relatedness between morphs; however,
 there was significant, albeit weak, genetic differentiation between
 morphs, which was unrelated to geographic distance between individuals.
 Our results indicate potential weak barriers to gene flow between some
 morphs, potentially due to non-random pre- or post-copulatory mate choice
 or postzygotic genetic incompatibilities. However, space use, spatial
 structure and non-random mating do not appear to be primary mechanisms
 maintaining colour polymorphism in this system, highlighting the
 complexity and variation in alternative strategies associated with colour
 polymorphism.

title: Data from: Use of influenza antivirals in patients hospitalized in Hong Kong, 2000-2015

description: Objectives: We aimed to describe patterns in the usage of antivirals to
 treat influenza virus infection in hospitals in Hong Kong from 2000
 through 2015. Methods: We analyzed centralized electronic health records
 that included dispensation information and diagnosis codes. Information
 collected on admissions included patient age, sex, admission year and
 month, and medications dispensed, and were matched with the first 15
 discharge diagnosis codes. We divided monthly admission episodes by
 relevant population denominators to obtain admission rates, and stratified
 analyses by drug type, age group, and diagnosis codes. Results: Amantadine
 was used for influenza treatment in the early 2000s but changed with
 recommendations to avoid its use in 2006, and is now mainly used to treat
 Parkinson's disease. Oseltamivir usage increased substantially in
 2009 and is now commonly used, with almost 40,000 hospitalizations treated
 with oseltamivir in the years 2012 through 2015, 66% of which was in
 persons ≥65 years of age. During the entire study period, of the 98,253
 admission episodes in which oseltamivir was dispensed, 40,698 (41%)
 included a diagnosis code for influenza, and 80,283 (82%) included any
 diagnosis code for respiratory illness. Conclusions: The amount of
 oseltamivir used from 2012-15 was comparable to a separate ecological
 estimate of around 13,000 influenza-associated hospitalizations per year
 on average. We did not have access to individual patient laboratory
 testing data.

title: Data from: Genetic analysis of river, swamp and hybrid buffaloes of north-east India throw new light on phylogeography of water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)

description: This study analysed buffaloes from north-east India and compared their
 nuclear and mitochondrial DNA variations with buffaloes of mainland India,
 China, Mediterranean and South-East Asia. Microsatellite genotypes of 338
 buffaloes including 210 from six north-east Indian buffalo populations and
 three mainland Indian breeds were analysed to evaluate their genetic
 structure and evolutionary relationships. Phylogenetic analysis and
 multidimensional scaling plot of pairwise FST revealed the clustering of
 all swamp-type buffaloes of north-east India with Lower Assamese
 (significantly hybrid type) buffaloes in one plane and all the mainland
 river buffaloes in another plane while the upper Assamese buffaloes being
 distinct from both these clusters. Analysis of mtDNA D-loop region of
 530-bp length was performed on 345 sequences belonging to 23 buffalo
 populations from various geographical regions to establish the
 phylogeography of Indian water buffalo. The swamp buffaloes of north-east
 India clustered with both the lineages of Chinese swamp buffalo.
 Multidimensional scaling display of pairwise FST derived from
 mitochondrial DNA data showed clustering of upper Assamese, Chilika and
 Mediterranean buffaloes distinctly from all the other Indian buffalo
 populations. Median-joining network analysis further confirmed the
 distinctness and ancestral nature of these buffaloes. The study revealed
 north-east region of India forming part of the wider hybrid zone of water
 buffalo that may probably extend from north-east India to South-East Asia.

title: Data from: Invasion genetics of the introduced black rat (Rattus rattus) in Senegal, West Africa

description: An understanding of the evolutionary history and dynamics of invasive
 species is required for the construction of predictive models of future
 spread, and the design of biological management measures. The black rat
 (Rattus rattus) is a major vertebrate invader with a worldwide
 distribution. Despite the severe ecological, economic and health impacts
 of this species, its evolutionary history has been little studied. We
 carried out extensive specimen sampling in Senegal, West Africa, and used
 microsatellite markers to describe the pattern and processes of invasion
 in this large continental area. The genetic data obtained were combined
 with historical knowledge concerning the presence of this species in
 Senegal. Data were analyzed by a combination of Bayesian clustering and
 approximate Bayesian computation methods. The invasion pathways closely
 paralleled the history of human trade routes in Senegal. In several
 places, we detected the occurrence of multiple introductions from
 genetically different sources. Long-distance migration between towns and
 villages was also observed. Our findings suggest that genetic bottlenecks
 and admixture have played a major role in shaping the genetics of invasive
 black rats. These two processes may generate genetic novelty and favor
 rapid evolution along the invasion pathways.

title: Data from: Maternal exposure to predator scents: offspring phenotypic adjustment and dispersal

description: Predation is a strong selective pressure generating morphological,
 physiological and behavioural responses in organisms. As predation risk is
 often higher during juvenile stages, antipredator defences expressed early
 in life are paramount to survival. Maternal effects are an efficient
 pathway to produce such defences. We investigated whether maternal
 exposure to predator cues during gestation affected juvenile morphology,
 behaviour and dispersal in common lizards (Zootoca vivipara). We exposed
 21 gravid females to saurophagous snake cues for one month while 21
 females remained unexposed (i.e. control). We measured body size,
 preferred temperature and activity level for each neonate, and released
 them into semi-natural enclosures connected to corridors in order to
 measure dispersal. Offspring from exposed mothers grew longer tails,
 selected lower temperatures and dispersed thrice more than offspring from
 unexposed mothers. Because both tail autotomy and altered thermoregulatory
 behaviour are common antipredator tactics in lizards, these results
 suggest that mothers adjusted offspring phenotype to risky natal
 environments (tail length) or increased risk avoidance (dispersal).
 Although maternal effects can be passive consequences of maternal stress,
 our results strongly militate for them to be an adaptive antipredator
 response that may increase offspring survival prospects.

title: Data from: RAD sequencing resolves fine-scale population structure in a benthic invertebrate: implications for understanding phenotypic plasticity

description: The field of molecular ecology is transitioning from the use of small
 panels of classical genetic markers such as microsatellites to much larger
 panels of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) generated by approaches
 like RAD sequencing. However, few empirical studies have directly compared
 the ability of these methods to resolve population structure. This could
 have implications for understanding phenotypic plasticity, as many
 previous studies of natural populations may have lacked the power to
 detect genetic differences, especially over micro-geographic scales. We
 therefore compared the ability of microsatellites and RAD sequencing to
 resolve fine-scale population structure in a commercially important
 benthic invertebrate by genotyping great scallops (Pecten maximus) from
 nine populations around Northern Ireland at 13 microsatellites and 10 539
 SNPs. The shells were then subjected to morphometric and colour analysis
 in order to compare patterns of phenotypic and genetic variation. We found
 that RAD sequencing was superior at resolving population structure,
 yielding higher Fst values and support for two distinct genetic clusters,
 whereas only one cluster could be detected in a Bayesian analysis of the
 microsatellite dataset. Furthermore, appreciable phenotypic variation was
 observed in size-independent shell shape and coloration, including among
 localities that could not be distinguished from one another genetically,
 providing support for the notion that these traits are phenotypically
 plastic. Taken together, our results suggest that RAD sequencing is a
 powerful approach for studying population structure and phenotypic
 plasticity in natural populations.

title: Data from: Process-based species pools reveal the hidden signature of biotic interactions amid the influence of temperature filtering

description: A persistent challenge in ecology is to tease apart the influence of
 multiple processes acting simultaneously and interacting in complex ways
 to shape the structure of species assemblages. We implement a heuristic
 approach that relies on explicitly defining species pools and permits
 assessment of the relative influence of the main processes thought to
 shape assemblage structure: environmental filtering, dispersal limitations
 and biotic interactions. We illustrate our approach using data on the
 assemblage composition and geographic distribution of hummingbirds, a
 comprehensive phylogeny and morphological traits. The implementation of
 several process-based species pool definitions in null models suggests
 that temperature, but not precipitation or dispersal limitation, acts as
 the main regional filter of assemblage structure. Incorporating this
 environmental filter directly into the definition of assemblage-specific
 species pools revealed an otherwise hidden pattern of phylogenetic
 evenness, indicating that biotic interactions might further influence
 hummingbird assemblage structure. Such hidden patterns of assemblage
 structure call for a reexamination of a multitude of phylogenetic- and
 trait-based studies that did not explicitly consider potentially important
 processes in their definition of the species pool. Our heuristic approach
 provides a transparent way to explore patterns and refine interpretations
 of the underlying causes of assemblage structure.
description: hummer_traits_LessardWe compiled measurements of body mass (in grams) and exposed culmen (in millimeters) from literature and unpublished data, including PhD dissertations and measurements taken in the field, for males and females of 334 species of hummingbirds. For the species that were sampled in the field, body mass was measured to the nearest 0.1 g with 10-g and 50-g Pesola spring balances, and exposed culmen was measured to the nearest 0.1 mm with dial calipers.hummer_tree_LessardWe used a phylogenetic tree (fig. S2) constructed from DNA sequences covering six genetic loci (four nuclear and two mitochondrial) representing 284 hummingbird species, and 15 out-group species spanning four avian orders (McGuire et al. 2014). We then pruned the tree to include only the 281 species included in our global hummingbird distribution data. Sampling includes 101 of 105 currently recognized trochilid genera (lacking only three monotypic genera: Anopetia, Hylonympha, and Sternoclyta, and the bitypic genus Augastes, all with very restricted ranges). Time-calibrated Bayesian phylogenetic analyses were performed using BEAST v1.7.1 (Drummond and Rambaut 2007) with calibrations for divergence dating analyses using substitution rate priors (rather than fossil calibrations) based on rate estimates generated for Hawaiian honeycreepers (Lerner et al. 2011).

title: Data from: Is telomere length associated with mate choice in a songbird with a high rate of extra-pair paternity?

description: Telomere length is related to aging in many eukaryotes and the rate of
 telomere attrition has been suggested to reflect individual genetic
 quality. Telomere length could thus have implications for mate choice. We
 investigated telomere length variation in bluethroat Luscinia svecica
 families with mixed paternity, including social parents, extra-pair
 fathers and nestlings, testing whether telomere length is associated with
 social and/or extra-pair mate choice through assortative mating or
 selection of mates with relatively long telomeres. In adults, relative
 telomere length (rTL) did not differ between the sexes, nor between two
 age categories. In chicks, however, rTL decreased with body mass at
 sampling (an index of nestling age). We found a positive correlation
 between the rTL of social mates, suggesting assortative mating with
 respect to telomere length or a correlative thereof. However, extra-pair
 males did not differ from social mates in rTL, and accordingly there was
 also no difference between within- and extra-pair young (i.e.
 half-siblings) when controlling for the effect of mass. We found no
 relationships between telomere length, age and fitness-related traits in
 adults, but an intriguing year-difference in telomere length in both
 sexes. In conclusion, we found no support for the idea that females choose
 extra-pair males based on their telomere length, but social mate choice
 seems to be influenced by rTL, possibly through its co-variation with
 aspects reflecting individual quality, like early arrival at the breeding
 grounds.

title: Data from: Paternity and gregariousness in the sex-changing sessile marine gastropod Crepidula convexa: comparison with other protandrous Crepidula species

description: In sex-changing animals with internal fertilization, gregarious behavior
 may increase mating opportunities and the frequency of multiple paternity,
 thus increasing maternal reproductive success. Crepidula convexa is a
 direct-developing protandrous gastropod characterized by only modest
 gregarious behavior compared with previously studied members of the genus:
 females are frequently found isolated. Using 6 microsatellite markers, we
 analyzed paternity profiles in 10 broods (25 embryos per mother). The
 number of assigned fathers varied among families from 1 to 4 fathers per
 brood. Interestingly, polyandry was not detected in solitary females but
 only in females grouped with conspecific individuals. Overall, we found an
 average of 1.8 fathers per brood, but this increased to 2.6 fathers per
 brood when considering only the nonisolated females. Among 18
 unambiguously identified fathers, only 5 were collected in our samples,
 suggesting substantial male mobility. Comparison with previous paternity
 analyses in Crepidula fornicata and Crepidula coquimbensis revealed that
 polyandry appears as a common trait of these sex-changing gastropods
 despite their different grouping behaviors and life histories. As
 expected, the level of polyandry was nevertheless lower in the modestly
 gregarious C. convexa.
