title: Data from: Better safe than sorry: spider societies mitigate risk by prioritizing caution

description: Group members often vary in the information that they have about their
 environment. In this study, we evaluated the relative contribution of
 information held by the population majority vs. new immigrants to groups
 in determining group function. To do so we created experimental groups of
 the social spider Stegodyphus dumicola that were either iteratively
 exposed to a dangerous predator, the ant Anoplopepis custodiens, or kept
 in safety. We then seeded these groups (i.e., the population majority)
 with an “immigrant” individual that either had or did not have prior
 experience with the predator and was either shy or bold. Bold group
 members are argued to be particularly influential for group function in S.
 dumicola. We then evaluated colonies’ response towards predators over
 multiple trials to determine the effect of the immigrant’s and the
 majority’s prior experience with the predator and the immigrant’s
 boldness. We found that groups adopt a “better safe than sorry” strategy,
 where groups avoided predators when either the group or the immigrant had
 been previously exposed to risk, regardless of immigrant boldness. These
 findings suggest that past experience with predators, even if only
 experienced by a single individual in the group, can alter how groups
 respond to risk in a potentially advantageous manner.

title: Data from: Effects of ovarian fluid on sperm traits and its implications for cryptic female choice in zebrafish

description: In polyandrous mating systems, females maintain the opportunity to bias
 male fertilization success after mating in a process known as cryptic
 female choice. Mechanisms of cryptic female choice have been described
 both in internal and external fertilizers, and may affect fertilization
 processes at different stages before, during and after fertilization.
 While in internal fertilizers, females have substantial control over sperm
 storage and fertilization, in external fertilizers, female control is
 limited. A key factor proposed to mediate cryptic female choice is the
 fluid surrounding the eggs, the ovarian fluid, as it may directly affect
 sperm performance. Here, we studied the role of ovarian fluid in
 post-mating sexual selection using the zebrafish, Danio rerio. Firstly, we
 assessed how ovarian fluid affects sperm swimming performance compared to
 freshwater. We focussed on sperm motility, velocity, swimming trajectory
 and longevity, all traits associated with competitive fertilization
 success in externally fertilizing fish. In a second step, we used a North
 Carolina II design to explore female, male, and female x male effects by
 testing sperm motility of two males in the ovarian fluid of two females in
 a total of eleven blocks. Our results suggest that the ovarian fluid
 affects sperm performance differently from freshwater. Specifically, sperm
 velocity, motility and longevity were higher in the ovarian fluid than in
 freshwater, whereas sperm linearity and beat cross frequency showed the
 opposite pattern. Moreover, these effects varied according to male and
 female identities, supporting the potential for cryptic female choice
 mediated by ovarian fluid in this species.

title: Data from: Genetic basis of amphibian larval development along a latitudinal gradient: gene diversity, selection and links with phenotypic variation in transcription factor C/EBP-1

description: Ectotherm development rates often show adaptive divergence along climatic
 gradients, but the genetic basis for this variation is rarely studied.
 Here, we investigated the genetic basis for phenotypic variation in larval
 development in the moor frog Rana arvalis from five regions along a
 latitudinal gradient from Germany to northern Sweden. We focused on the
 C/EBP-1 gene, a transcription factor associated with larval development
 time. Allele frequencies at C/EBP-1 varied strongly among geographic
 regions. Overall, the distribution of alleles along the gradient was in
 concordance with the dual postglacial colonization routes into
 Scandinavia, with a large number of alleles exclusively present along the
 southern colonization route. Only three of 38 alleles were shared between
 the routes. Analysis of contemporary selection on C/EBP-1 showed divergent
 selection among the regions, likely reflecting adaptation to the local
 environmental conditions, although this was especially strong between
 southern and northern regions coinciding also with lineages from different
 colonization routes. Overall, the C/EBP-1 gene has historically been under
 purifying selection, however, two specific amino acid positions showed
 significant signals of positive selection. These positions showed
 divergence between southern and northern regions, and we suggest that they
 are functionally involved in the climatic adaptation of larval
 development. Using phenotypic data from a common garden experiment, we
 found evidence for specific C/EBP-1 alleles being correlated with larval
 development time, suggesting a functional role in adaptation of larval
 development to large-scale climatic variation.

title: Data from: Survival costs of reproduction are mediated by parasite infection in wild Soay sheep

description: A trade-off between current and future fitness potentially explains
 variation in life-history strategies. A proposed mechanism behind this is
 parasite-mediated reproductive costs: individuals that allocate more
 resources to reproduction have fewer to allocate to defence against
 parasites, reducing future fitness. We examined how reproduction
 influenced faecal egg counts (FEC) of strongyle nematodes using data
 collected between 1989-2008 from a wild population of Soay sheep in the
 St. Kilda archipelago, Scotland (741 individuals). Increased reproduction
 was associated with increased FEC during the lambing season: females that
 gave birth, and particularly those that weaned a lamb, had higher FEC than
 females that failed to reproduce. Structural equation modelling revealed
 future reproductive costs: a positive effect of reproduction on spring FEC
 and a negative effect on summer body weight were negatively associated
 with overwinter survival. Overall, we provide evidence that parasite
 resistance and body weight are important mediators of survival costs of
 reproduction.

title: Data from: Convergent evolution of body color between sympatric freshwater fishes via different visual sensory evolution

description: Although there are many examples of color evolution potentially driven by
 sensory drive, only few studies have examined whether distinct species
 inhabiting the same environments evolve similar body colors via shared
 sensory mechanisms. In this study, we tested whether two sympatric
 freshwater fish taxa, halfbeaks of the genus Nomorhamphus and ricefishes
 of the genus Oryzias in Sulawesi Island, converge in both body color and
 visual sensitivity. After reconstructing the phylogeny separately for
 Nomorhamphus and Oryzias using transcriptome‐wide sequences, we
 demonstrated positive correlations of body redness between these two taxa
 across environments, even after phylogenetic corrections, which support
 convergent evolution. However, substantial differences were observed in
 the expression profiles of opsin genes in the eyes between Nomorhamphus
 and Oryzias. Particularly, the expression levels of the long
 wavelength‐sensitive genes were negatively correlated between the taxa,
 indicating that they have different visual sensitivities despite living in
 similar light environments. Thus, the convergence of body colorations
 between these two freshwater fish taxa was not accompanied by convergence
 in opsin sensitivities. This system presents a case in which body color
 convergence can occur between sympatric species via different mechanisms.

title: Data from: Bees and flowers: how to feed an invasive beetle species

description: Invasive species may exploit a wide range of food sources, thereby
 fostering their success and hampering mitigation, but the actual degree of
 opportunism is often unknown. The small hive beetle (SHB), Aethina tumida,
 is a parasite of honeybee colonies endemic to sub-Saharan Africa. SHBs
 have now spread on all habitable continents and can also infest colonies
 of other social bees. To date, the possible role of solitary bee nests as
 alternative hosts is unknown. Similarly, flowers as possible alternative
 food sources are not well understood. Here, we show that SHBs can complete
 an entire life cycle in association with nests of solitary bees Megachile
 rotundata. The data also show that flowers can serve as alternative food
 sources. These results support the opportunistic nature of this invasive
 species, thereby generating further obstacles for mitigation efforts in
 the field. It also suggests that SHB invasions may result in more serious
 consequences for endemic bee fauna than previously thought. This provides
 further motivation to slow down the global spread of this pest, and to
 improve its management in areas, where it is established.

title: Data from: Age determination in echinoderms: first evidence of annual growth rings in holothuroids

description: While age is fundamental in animal biology, forming the basis of critical
 concepts such as life-history strategies, longevity and population
 structures, measuring this variable in some taxa remains problematic. Such
 is the case of holothuroid echinoderms, which play key roles in marine
 benthic communities from the shore to the abyss, and are extensively
 fished in many regions across the globe. Here we present and validate a
 promising aging technique using the cold-water species Psolus fabricii.
 The method involves the extraction of the oldest dermal plates (largest
 dorsal ossicles) to preserve their original pigments and structure. While
 plates initially appear to have a uniform texture, polishing and dying
 them reveals layered ring patterns. A study of laboratory-reared
 juveniles, from settlement to 40 months of age, confirmed that one layer
 is added annually, making plates both larger and thicker, and generating
 successive light and dark rings, the latter representing the transition
 (overlap) between two layers. Therefore, each pair of rings represents an
 annual growth band. Size-at-age data obtained using this method revealed
 that growth of P. fabricii is slow and that wild individuals collected at
 diving depths had reached an age of several decades.

title: Data from: Arms races with mitochondrial genome soft sweeps in a gynodioecious plant, Plantago lanceolata

description: Biological situations involving conflict can create arms race situations
 with repeated fixations of different functional variants, producing
 selective sweeps and lowering neutral diversity in genome regions linked
 to the functional locus. However, they can sometimes lead to balancing
 selection, potentially creating long coalescent times for sites with
 functionally different variants, and, if recombination occurs rarely, for
 extended haplotypes carrying such variants. We tested between these
 possibilities in a gynodioecious plant, Plantago lanceolata, in which
 cytoplasmic male-sterility factors conflict with nuclear restorers of male
 fertility. We find low mitochondrial diversity, which does not support
 very long-term coexistence of highly diverged mitochondrial haplotypes.
 Interestingly, however, we found a derived haplotype that is associated
 with male fertility in a restricted geographic region, and that has fixed
 differences from the ancestral sequence in several genes, suggesting that
 it did not arise very recently. Taken together, the results suggest arms
 race events that involved “soft" selective sweeps involving a
 moderately old-established haplotype, consistent with the frequency
 fluctuations predicted by theoretical models of gynodioecy.

title: Data from: Dietary resource overlap among three species of frugivorous bat in Costa Rica

description: The maintenance of biodiversity in tropical forests is thought to be
 dependent on fine-scale mechanisms of niche partitioning that allow
 species to coexist. This study examined whether three species of
 short-tailed fruit bat that co-occur at a lowland tropical forest site in
 Costa Rica (Carollia castanea, C. perspicillata, C. sowelli) avoid inter-
 and intraspecific competition through dietary specialization on species in
 the genus Piper. First, dietary composition was examined using faecal
 samples (n = 210), which yielded three main findings: (1) bat species and
 sexes vary in overall reliance on fruits of Piper, with a higher
 percentage of seeds of Piper detected in the diets of C. castanea (98.2%)
 and females (91.5%); (2) adults and juveniles partition species of Piper
 by habitat, with a lower percentage of mid- to late-successional species
 of Piper detected in adults (20.8%); and (3) overall, there is a strong
 dietary overlap among and within the three species of Carollia. Second,
 controlled choice experiments were conducted with individual bats (n =
 123) to examine preferences for different species of Piper. These results
 indicated few differences in Piper preference based on bat species, sex,
 age class or reproductive status, suggesting preference is not the primary
 mechanism shaping the observed differences in dietary composition.
 Overall, the dietary composition and preference similarities suggest there
 is strong competition both among and within the three species of Carollia
 for food resources.

title: Data from: Improved detection of influenza A virus from blue-winged teals by sequencing directly from swab material

description: The greatest diversity of influenza A virus (IAV) is found in wild aquatic
 birds of the orders Anseriformes and Charadriiformes. In these birds, IAV
 replication occurs mostly in the intestinal tract. Fecal, cloacal and/or
 tracheal swabs are typically collected and tested by real-time RT-PCR
 (rRT-PCR) and/or by virus isolation in embryonated chicken eggs in order
 to determine the presence of IAV. Virus isolation may impose bottlenecks
 that select variant populations that are different from those circulating
 in nature, and such bottlenecks may result in artifactual representation
 of subtype diversity and/or underrepresented mixed infections. The advent
 of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies provides an opportunity
 to explore to what extent IAV subtype diversity is affected by virus
 isolation in eggs. In the present work, we evaluated the advantage of
 sequencing by NGS directly from swab material of IAV rRT-PCR positive
 swabs collected during the 2013-14 surveillance season in Guatemala and
 compared to results from NGS after virus isolation. The results highlight
 the benefit of sequencing IAV genomes directly from swabs to better
 understand subtype diversity and detection of alternative amino acid
 motifs that could otherwise escape detection using traditional methods of
 virus isolation. In addition, NGS sequencing data from swabs revealed
 reduced presence of defective interfering particles (DIPs) compared to
 virus isolates. We propose an alternative workflow in which original swab
 samples positive for IAV by rRT-PCR are first subjected to NGS before
 attempting viral isolation. This approach should speed the processing of
 samples and better capture natural IAV diversity.
