title: Are offspring begging levels exaggerated beyond the parental optimum? Evidence from a bidirectional selection experiment

description: Parental care involves elaborate behavioural interactions between parents
 and their offspring, with offspring stimulating their parents via begging
 to provision resources. Thus, begging has direct fitness benefits as it
 enhances offspring growth and survival. It is nevertheless subject to a
 complex evolutionary trajectory, because begging may serve as a means for
 the offspring to manipulate parents in the context of evolutionary
 conflicts of interest. Furthermore, it has been hypothesized that begging
 is coadapted and potentially genetically correlated with parental care
 traits as a result of social selection. Further experiments on the causal
 processes that shape the evolution of begging are therefore essential. We
 applied bidirectional artificial selection on begging behaviour, using
 canaries (Serinus canaria) as a model species. We measured the response to
 selection, the consequences for offspring development, changes in parental
 care traits, here the rate of parental provisioning, as well as the
 effects on reproductive success. After three generations of selection,
 offspring differed in begging behaviour according to our artificial
 selection regime: nestlings of the high begging line begged significantly
 more than nestlings of the low begging line. Intriguingly, begging less
 benefitted the nestlings, as reflected by on average significantly higher
 growth rates, and increased reproductive success in terms of a higher
 number of fledglings in the low selected line. Begging could thus
 represent an exaggerated trait, possibly because parent-offspring conflict
 enhanced the selection on begging. We did not find evidence that we
 co-selected on parental provisioning, which may be due to the lack of
 power, but may also suggest that the evolution of begging is probably not
 constrained by a genetic correlation between parental provisioning and
 offspring begging.
description: All the methods used for collecting the data are described in
 details in the manuscipt.  Individual begging tests
 were performed five days after hatching following a protocol as described
 in Estramil et al. (2013). Begging was scored combining measures of
 nestling posture (1: open beak, 2: open beak and head back, 3: open beak
 and stretched neck and body, 4: open beak, stretched body and stretched
 legs) and begging duration by calculating the sum of all begging scores
 per second per nestling according to Kilner (2001). We
 measured parental provisioning for each nest 10 or 11 days after hatching
 of the first nestling, as described in Estramil <i>et al.</i>
 (2014a) and Fresneau and Müller (Fresneau and Müller, 2016).

title: Basic self-disturbances are associated with sense of coherence in patients with psychotic disorders

description: Background: The Sense of Coherence (SOC) theory gives a possible
 explanation of how people can experience subjective good health despite
 severe illness. Basic self-disturbances (BSDs) are subtle non-psychotic
 disturbances that may destabilize the person’s sense of self, identity,
 corporeality, and the overall ‘grip’ of the world. Aim:  Our
 objective was to investigate associations between BSDs and SOC in patients
 with psychotic disorders. Design: This is a cross-sectional study of 56
 patients diagnosed with psychotic disorders inside and outside the
 schizophrenia spectrum (35 schizophrenia, 13 bipolar, and eight other
 psychoses).  SOC was measured using Antonovsky’s 13-item SOC
 questionnaire, and BSDs were assessed using the Examination of Anomalous
 Self-Experience (EASE) manual.  Diagnosis, symptoms, and social
 and occupational performance were assessed using standardized clinical
 instruments. Results: We found a statistically significant correlation
 (r=) between high levels of BSDs and low levels of SOC
 (r=-0.64/p&lt;0.001).  This association was not influenced by
 diagnostics, clinical symptoms or level of functioning in follow-up
 multivariate analyses. Conclusion: A statistically significant association
 between BSDs and SOC indicates that the presence and level of
 self-disturbances may influence the person's ability to experience
 life as comprehensive, manageable and meaningful. However, the
 cross-sectional nature of the study precludes conclusions regarding the
 direction of this association.

title: Data from: Plant intraspecific functional trait variation is related to within-habitat heterogeneity and genetic diversity in Trifolium montanum L.

description: Intraspecific trait variation (ITV), based on available genetic diversity,
 is one of the major means plant populations can respond to environmental
 variability. The study of functional trait variation and diversity has
 become popular in ecological research, e.g. as a proxy for plant
 performance influencing fitness. Up to now, it is unclear which aspects of
 intraspecific functional trait variation (iFDCV) can be attributed to the
 environment or genetics under natural conditions. Here, we examined 260
 individuals from 13 locations of the rare (semi-)dry calcareous grassland
 species Trifolium montanum L. in terms of iFDCV, within-habitat
 heterogeneity, and genetic diversity. The iFDCV was assessed by measuring
 functional traits (releasing height, biomass, leaf area, specific leaf
 area, leaf dry matter content, Fv/Fm, performance index, stomatal pore
 surface, and stomatal pore area index). Abiotic within-habitat
 heterogeneity was derived from altitude, slope exposure, slope, leaf area
 index, soil depth, and further soil factors. Based on microsatellites, we
 calculated expected heterozygosity (He) because it best-explained, among
 other indices, iFDCV. We performed multiple linear regression models
 quantifying relationships among iFDCV, abiotic within-habitat
 heterogeneity and genetic diversity, and also between separate functional
 traits and abiotic within-habitat heterogeneity or genetic diversity. We
 found that abiotic within-habitat heterogeneity influenced iFDCV twice as
 strong compared to genetic diversity. Both aspects together explained 77%
 of variation in iFDCV (Radj² = 0.77, F2, 10 = 21.66, p &lt; 0.001).
 The majority of functional traits (releasing height, biomass, specific
 leaf area, leaf dry matter content, Fv/Fm and performance index) were
 related to abiotic habitat conditions indicating responses to
 environmental heterogeneity. In contrast, morphology-related functional
 traits (releasing height, biomass and leaf area) were only related to
 genetics. Our results suggest that both within-habitat heterogeneity and
 genetic diversity affect iFDCV, and are thus crucial to consider when
 aiming to understand or predict changes of plant species performance under
 changing environmental conditions.

title: The interplay between local and landscape scales on the density of pond-dwelling anurans in subtropical grasslands

description: We investigated the role of local and landscape environmental variables on
 anurans density classified as habitat specialists and generalists in
 grassland landscapes, known as South Brazilian grasslands (SBG). In this
 region, we surveyed 187 ponds distributed over 40 landscape sampling
 units. For each pond, 31 local environmental variables were measured. Each
 landscape sampling unit was embedded within a larger regional sampling
 unit with different landscape properties. For each landscape and regional
 sampling units, 16 landscape metrics were extracted from a land cover and
 use map. We recorded 35 species, eleven of which are specialists in the
 SBG. The specialists were affected by 11 local and 2 landscape
 environmental variables, while generalists were affected by 14 local and
 one environmental variable. Thus, specialists and generalists presented
 different relationships with local and landscape variables, but in general
 local variables had a greater influence on the density of anurans than the
 landscape variables. However, the landscape indirectly influenced local
 variables because higher quality ponds were in landscapes with higher
 percentages of natural habitat. In conclusion, reproductive sites with
 higher local quality and located within landscapes with higher percentages
 of natural grasslands are essential to conserve anurans in this habitat.
 Effective conservation of such sites would benefit from further studies
 that assess effects of land use and biotic integrity of ponds, which can
 help to determine (1) the relative effects of local habitat quality of
 ponds, and (2) the effectiveness of protecting ponds and their local
 surroundings for anuran conservation in SBG.
description: We surveyed all vocalizing males of anurans in 187 ponds
 distributed over 40 landscape sampling units in South Brazilian grassland.
 For each pond, 31 local environmental variables were measured. Each landscape sampling unit was
 embedded within a larger regional sampling unit with different landscape
 properties. For each landscape and regional sampling units,
 16 landscape metrics were extracted from a land
 cover and use map. We assessed the relative importance of local
 environmental and landscape variables on the density of anurans in calling
 activity with a protocol to select which variables had the greatest
 additive effects on pooled species counts, using generalized mixed-effect
 models.
description: The data are organized in 3 tables: 1) Abundance of anurans
 specialist and generalist; 2) Local variables; 3) Landscape
 variables. There are 3 scripts: 1) Scrip with principal
 analyses; 2) Script with functions; 3) Script with plots.

title: Tropical forest loss drives divergent patterns in functional diversity of forest and non-forest birds

description: Tropical forests have been facing high rates of deforestation driven by
 multiple anthropogenic disturbances, with severe consequences for
 biodiversity. However, the understanding of such effects on functional
 diversity is still limited in tropical regions, especially considering
 different ecological groups responses. Here we evaluated the functional
 responses of birds to forest loss at the threatened Brazilian Atlantic
 forest, considering the complete assemblage, and both forest-dependent and
 non-forest-dependent species. Birds were surveyed in 40 forest sites with
 a forest cover gradient, located in two regions showing different land use
 types. We tested different models to assess the responses of functional
 diversity indices to forest loss in these sites. Although functional
 diversity did not differ between regions, forest and non-forest birds
 showed divergent responses to forest loss. Deforested landscapes presented
 an increase in functional richness (SESFRic) and evenness for forest
 species and an increase of functional dispersion for non-forest birds.
 Additionally, forested landscapes harbour birds presenting lower body mass
 and wing length, and non-forest species with lower tarsus length. The
 maintenance of some functional metrics through forest loss resulted from a
 compensatory dynamic between forest and non-forest birds, indicating that
 only evaluating the complete assemblage may mask important idiosyncratic
 patterns of different ecological groups. Although non-forest species are
 relatively capable to maintain bird functional diversity in deforested
 landscapes, forest birds are facing a drastic ongoing collapse in these
 sites, representing an alarming signal for the maintenance of forest
 ecosystem function.

title: Data from: Protein-encoding ultraconserved elements provide a new phylogenomic perspective of Oestroidea flies (Diptera, Calyptratae)

description: The diverse superfamily Oestroidea with more than 15,000 known species
 includes among others, blow flies, flesh flies, bot flies, and the diverse
 tachinid flies. Oestroidea exhibit strikingly divergent morphological and
 ecological traits, but even with a variety of data sources and inferences
 there is no consensus on the relationships among major Oestroidea
 lineages. Phylogenomic inferences derived from targeted enrichment of
 ultraconserved elements or UCEs have emerged as a promising method for
 resolving difficult phylogenetic problems at varying timescales. To
 reconstruct phylogenetic relationships among families of Oestroidea, we
 obtained UCE loci exclusively derived from the transcribed portion of the
 genome making them suitable for larger and more integrative phylogenomic
 studies using other genomic and transcriptomic resources. We analysed
 datasets containing 37–2,077 UCE loci from 98 representatives of all
 oestroid families (except Ulurumyiidae and Mystacinobiidae) and seven
 calyptrate outgroups, with a total concatenated aligned length between
 10–550 Mb. About 35% of the sampled taxa consisted of museum specimens
 (2–92 years old), of which 85% resulted in successful UCE enrichment. Our
 maximum likelihood and coalescent-based analyses produced well-resolved
 and highly supported topologies. With the exception of Calliphoridae and
 Oestridae, all included families were recovered as monophyletic with the
 following conclusions: Oestroidea is monophyletic with Mesembrinellidae as
 sister to the remaining oestroid families; Oestridae is paraphyletic with
 respect to Sarcophagidae; Polleniidae is sister to Tachinidae;
 Rhinophoridae sister to (Luciliinae (Toxotarsinae (Melanomyinae +
 Calliphorinae))); Phumosiinae is sister to Chrysomyinae and Bengaliinae is
 sister to Rhiniidae. These results support the ranking of most calliphorid
 subfamilies as separate families.

title: Data from: Early detection of chronic hepatitis B and risk factor assessment in Turkish migrants, Middle Limburg, Belgium.

description: Background Turkey is an intermediate hepatitis B virus (HBV) endemic
 country. However, prevalence among Turkish migrants in Belgium is unknown,
 especially in those born in Belgium with a foreign-born parent, i.e.
 second-generation migrants (SGM). Aims To evaluate the prevalence of HBV
 infection and associated risk factors in Turkish first-generation migrants
 (FGM), i.e. foreign-born, and SGM. Methods Between September 2017 and May
 2019, free outreach testing for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg),
 hepatitis B core antibodies (anti-HBc), and antibodies against HBsAg was
 offered to Turkish migrants in Middle-Limburg, Belgium. Face-to-face
 questionnaire assessed HBV risk factors. HBsAg positive patients were
 referred and followed up. Turkish SGM were stratified into birth cohort
 born before and after 1987, since those born after 1987 should be covered
 by the universal infant vaccination program. Results A total of
 1,081/1,113 (97.1%) Turkish did go for HBV testing. Twenty-six (2.4%) were
 HBsAg positive; 11/26 were unaware of their status and 10/11 were
 successfully referred. HBsAg prevalence was 3.0% in FGM and 1.5% in SGM, p
 = .070. Only one out of seven HBsAg positive SGM was born after
 1987.  In the multiple generalized estimating equations model,
 the most important risk factors for anti-HBc positivity were male gender (
 p = .021), older age ( p &lt; .001), FGM ( p &lt; .001), low
 educational level of the mother ( p = .003), HBV infected mother ( p =
 .008), HBV infected siblings ( p = .002), HBV infected other family member
 ( p = .004), gynaecological examination in Turkey or unsafe male
 circumcision ( p = .032) and dental treatment in Turkey ( p = .049).
 Conclusion Outreach testing was well-accepted and referral to specialist
 care was generally successful. National HBV screening should be
 implemented in the Turkish FGM population and might be considered in SGM
 not covered by primary prevention strategies.

title: Seasonal succession of functional traits in phytoplankton communities and their interaction with trophic state

description: 1. Understanding and explaining the structure of communities in response
 to environmental gradients is a central goal in ecology. Trait-based
 approaches are promising but yet rarely applied to understand community
 dynamics in response to changing environmental conditions. 2. Here we
 investigate seasonal succession patterns of functional traits in
 phytoplankton communities and how nutrient reductions (oligotrophication)
 alter these patterns. We used phytoplankton data from 40 years of
 observation from the Rappbode Reservoir (Germany), which underwent a
 strong shift in trophic conditions, and translated taxonomic composition
 into functional traits by assigning trait values compiled from the
 literature. 3. All studied traits (morphological, behavioral and
 physiological traits) responded to changing environmental conditions and
 showed consistent, reoccurring seasonal developments. The seasonal
 succession of phytoplankton communities was shaped by a trade-off between
 small celled, fast growing species that are able to rapidly incorporate
 existing resources (r-strategists) and large celled species with more
 complex and efficient mechanisms to exploit scarce mineral nutrients or
 acquire previously unexploited nutrient pools (k-strategists). In summer,
 when nutrients were scarce, the k-strategy was prevailing (important
 traits: phosphate affinity, nitrogen fixation, motility and mixotrophy).
 During the rest of the year, nutrients and turbulence were high and
 r-strategists dominated (important traits: maximum growth rate, light
 affinity). 4. A comparison between eutrophic and oligotrophic years
 revealed that the main features of functional trait succession were
 largely preserved, but intra-annual fluctuations from spring to summer
 were stronger during eutrophic years. Nutrient reductions mainly affected
 functional traits and biomass in spring, while in summer the functional
 community composition changed little. 5. Synthesis. This study provides
 for the first time a quantitatively supported functional template for
 trait-based succession patterns in lakes under different nutrient
 conditions. By translating taxonomic composition into trait information,
 we demonstrate that the quantification of functional characteristics
 enables ecological interpretation of observed community dynamics and
 provides not only a testable template but also a powerful tool towards a
 more mechanistic understanding. The quantification of functional traits
 further improves the predictability of community shifts in response to
 changing environmental conditions and thus opens new perspectives for
 predictive limnology using lake-ecosystem models.

title: Variable and sexually conflicting selection on Silene stellata floral traits by a putative moth pollinator selective agent

description: Conflicting selection is an important evolutionary mechanism since it
 impedes directional evolution and helps to maintain phenotypic variation.
 It can arise when mutualistic and antagonistic selective agents exert
 opposing selection on the same trait and when distinct phenotypic optima
 are favored by different fitness components. In this study, we test for
 conflicting selection through different sexual functions of the
 hermaphroditic plant, Silene stellata during its early and late flowering
 season. We find selection is consistently stronger during the early
 flowering season, which aligns with the activity peak of the pollinating
 seed predator Hadena ectypa. Importantly, we observe sex-specific
 selection on petal dimensions to have opposite signs. We propose that the
 observed sexually conflicting selection on petal design results from the
 negative selection through female function for the avoidance of
 oviposition and the subsequent fruit predation by H. ectypa larvae and the
 positive selection through male function for pollen export by H. ectypa
 adults. The Silene-Hadena interaction has previously been considered to be
 largely parasitic. Our findings suggest a trade-off mechanism that could
 thwart the evolution of an “escape route” from the nocturnal pollination
 syndrome by Silene spp. and contribute to the long-term maintenance of the
 Silene-Hadena system.
