title: Quantitative analyses of feliform humeri reveal the existence of a very large cat in North America during the Miocene: Supplementary data

description: Felids are keystone predators in modern ecosystems and likely played a
 similar role in shaping ecosystem through the Cenozoic. Unfortunately,
 understanding the paleoecological impact of felids has been hampered by
 taxonomic confusion and uncertainty in big cat diversity through time.
 This stems, in part, from the importance of dentition in differentiating
 feliform taxa combined with the abundance of postcrania in the fossil
 record. This dilemma is best illustrated by the humeri of a very large
 felid uncovered from a number of Hemphillian-aged localities in North
 America that, in the absence of craniodental remains, have not previously
 been definitively identified. We present the results of an analysis of the
 potential of isolated distal humeri to identify feliform taxa. We compared
 the form and size of distal humeri across feliforms using geometric
 morphometric analysis and used linear measurements to reconstruct body
 mass and estimate prey size. Our results suggest that distal humeri are
 useful tools for differentiating feliform families, genera, and species.
 Further, along with a specimen from Idaho with associated dentition, they
 suggest that the large Hemphillian-aged felid is a new species of
 Machairodus. Future phylogenetic analyses will be necessary to reconstruct
 the evolutionary history of North American Machairodontinae, but this new
 taxon provides evidence for a diverse predator fauna during the late
 Miocene of North America that included some of the largest felids in Earth
 history.

title: Medial amygdala ERα expression influences monogamous behavior of male prairie voles in the field

description: Formation of long-term pair-bonds is a complex process, involving multiple
 neural circuits, and is context- and experience-dependent. While
 laboratory studies using prairie voles have identified the involvement of
 several neural mechanisms, efforts to translate these findings into
 predictable field outcomes have been ambiguous at best. Here we test the
 hypothesis that inhibition of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) in the medial
 amygdala of male prairie voles would significantly increase the expression
 of social monogamy in the field. Prairie vole populations of equal sex
 ratio were established in outdoor enclosures with males bred to
 overexpress ERα and display reduced prosocial behavior. Medial amygdala
 ERα expression was knocked down in half the males per population.
 Knockdown-males displayed a greater degree of social monogamy in five of
 the eight indices assessed. This study demonstrates the robust nature of
 ERα in playing a critical role in the expression of male social monogamy
 in a field setting.
description: The data uploaded includes: 1) the trapping data- the date,
 location, and ID of voles trapped at specific sites; 2) the radiotracking
 data, with the date, GPS location, and ID of voles; 3) parentage data of
 all offspring trapped in the enclosures; and 4) information for all of the
 voles used in the study.  In addition to this primary data there is the R
 code used to calculate the behavioral indices from the primary data, the
 output from this code of the behavioral indices used for the analyses, and
 the R code for the actual statistical analyses.  For info on the
 collection of the data and the analyses done, see the methods of the
 article.
description: There are 16 enclosures named A through P, each with 16 voles in
 the experiment.  However, 8 of these enclosures were for a different
 experiment, the enclosures used in this experiment (wherein male voles
 were infused with RNAi or a sham injection) are as follows: C, E, F, H, I,
 J, K, L.  The provided R code already separates out and uses these
 enclosures for the analyses.

title: A ten-faced hexangulaconulariid from Cambrian Stage 2 of South China

description: Hexangulaconulariids (Cambrian stages 1‒2) are an extinct group of
 medusozoan polyps having a biradially symmetrical, fan-shaped periderm
 that is distinct from those of medusozoan polyps showing three-, four-,
 five-, or six-fold radial symmetry. Hexangulaconulariids exhibit
 substantial variation in gross morphology, including variation in the
 number of faces on each of the two major sides of the periderm. An
 intermediate taxon of hexangulaconulariids with ten faces (five on each
 major side) was expected. Here we describe a new hexangulaconulariid,
 Decimoconularia isofaciem n. gen. n. sp. from Bed 5 of the Yanjiahe
 Formation (Cambrian Stage 2) in the Three Gorges area of Hubei Province,
 China. The new taxon differs mainly from other hexangulaconulariids
 (Arthrochites, Hexaconularia, and Septuconularia) in possessing a total of
 10 faces. The two lateral margins are each marked by a ridge in about the
 apertural half of the periderm and by a collinear furrow in about the
 apical half, while the five faces on each major side are bounded by a
 furrow in about the apertural half and by a collinear ridge in about the
 apical half. Among hexangulaconulariids, Decimoconularia and
 Septuconularia may be more closely related to each other than either genus
 is to Arthrochites or Hexaconularia.
description: The specimens were picked under a binocular microscope from insoluble
 residues produced by digestion of rock samples with 10% acetic acid. The
 fossils were coated with gold and then imaged using a FEI Quanta 400 FEG
 scanning electron microscope (SEM) at an accelerating voltage of 15 eV
 (secondary electron mode). The holotype specimen (CUBar172-3) was imaged
 using the Zeiss Xradia 520 at the State Key Laboratory of Continental
 Dynamics, Northwest University, Xi’an, China, at a beam current/voltage of
 80 µA/40 kV with a voxel size of 2.23 µm. The micro-CT data were processed
 using VG Studio 2.2 Max for 3D volume rendering and movies.

title: Incipient speciation and the impact on taxonomic decision: a case study using a sky island sister species pair of stag beetle (Lucanus; Lucanidae)

description: Species delimitation can be difficult when the divergence between focal
 taxa falls in the incipient stage of speciation, because conflicting
 results are expected among different data sets and the species limit may
 differ depending on the applied species concept. We studied the speciation
 history and investigated the impact on taxonomic decision when using
 different data types in a Taiwanese endemic sister species pair of stag
 beetle, Lucanus miwai and L. yulaoensis, from sky island habitats. We
 showed that the two geographical taxa can be diagnosed by male mandibular
 shape. We found two mitochondrial co1 lineages with pairwise sequence
 divergence &gt; 3 %; however, L. miwai may not be monophyletic. Our
 multispecies coalescent based species delimitation result using five
 nuclear loci supported the evolutionary independence of the two sister
 species, but the calculated values of genealogical divergence index (gdi)
 corresponded to the species delimitation ambiguous zone. We further showed
 that post divergence gene flow is unlikely. Our study demonstrates
 challenges in incipient species delineation, but shows the importance of
 understanding the speciation history and integrative approaches to
 reconcile seemingly conflicting results before making evolutionarily
 relevant taxonomic decisions.

title: Condition and size of pikeperch Sander lucioperca in Portuguese river basins

description: We studied life-history traits focusing on growth and condition of the
 pikeperch Sander lucioperca to evaluate its phenotypic plasticity when
 introduced to new environments. Pikeperch is a non-native fish introduced
 to Iberian freshwater fauna in 1998 that quickly spread to other river
 basins through human-mediated activities, occupying now a wide variety of
 habitats along mainland Portugal.  Condition (K and SMI), fork
 length at age, and length-weight relationships were studied for Portuguese
 populations. Pikeperch fork length for ages 1, 2, 3 and 4 was different
 between several populations. We applied generalised linear models (GLM) to
 study the influence of habitat type, latitude, altitude, time after first
 detection and fish prey richness on pikeperch populations size at age 4
 and condition. We observed higher condition values on populations from
 lower altitudes at lentic systems more recently introduced. But higher
 fork length at age 4 was found in populations from higher altitudes, on
 older populations with higher prey richness. Habitat type, time since
 first detection and fish fauna composition are discussed as the main
 environmental factors explaining the observed phenotypic plasticity with
 concerns on predatory impact on native fauna.
description: In the
 laboratory, specimens were measured (Fork Length – FL, to nearest 1 mm)
 and weighed (Eviscerated Weight – EW, to the nearest 0.01 g). Since not
 all populations were sampled at the same time, we used the eviscerate
 weight to avoid the influence of the gonad size and stomach fullness,
 giving more reliable values for the condition of the fish. When possible,
 sex was determined by gonad macroscopic examination. As
 a simple, expedite and common methodology for pikeperch age estimation
 (e.g. Argillier et al. 2021; Pérez-Bote & Roso 2012, Nolan
 & Britton 2018) we removed around10 scales above the lateral line
 and below the anterior part of the dorsal fin that were posteriorly
 cleaned and mounted on microscopic slides. Selected scales were
 photographed under a binocular lens and examined using freeware Fiji image
 analysis program

title: Female choice and male-male competition are affected by noise-filled calls in a treefrog

description: Both human and non-human animals communicating acoustically face the
 problem of noise interference, especially anurans during mating
 activities. Previous studies focused on the effect of continuous
 noise on signal recognition, but it is still unknown
 whether different notes in advertisement calls filled by
 noise affect female choice and male-male competition or
 not. In this study, we tested female preferences and male evoked
 vocal responses in serrate-legged small
 treefrog (Kurixalus odontotarsus), by broadcasting the five-note
 advertisement call and the advertisement call with the second, third or
 fourth note filled by noise respectively. In phonotaxis experiments,
 females significantly discriminated against the
 advertisement call with the fourth note filled by noise, although they did
 not discriminate against other two noise-filled calls, which indicates
 that the effect of noise on female preference is related to the order of
 filled notes in the advertisement call. In playback experiments, males
 increased the total number of notes and notes/call in response to
 noise-filled calls compared with spontaneous calls.
 More interesting, the vocal responses evoked by noise-filled
 calls were similar to those evoked by complete advertisement calls,
 suggesting that males may recognize the noise-filled calls as complete
 advertisement calls. Taken together, our study shows that different notes
 in advertisement calls filled by noise have different effects on female
 choice and male-male competition.

title: Epidemiological and evolutionary consequences of periodicity in treatment coverage

description: Host heterogeneity is a key driver of host-pathogen dynamics. In
 particular, the use of treatments against infectious diseases creates
 variation in quality among hosts, which can have both epidemiological and
 evolutionary consequences. We present a general theoretical model to
 highlight the consequences of different imperfect treatments on pathogen
 prevalence and evolution. These treatments differ by their action on host
 and pathogen traits. In contrast with previous studies, we assume that
 treatment coverage can vary in time, as in seasonal or pulsed treatment
 strategies. We show that periodic treatment strategies can limit both
 disease spread and virulence evolution, depending on the type of
 treatment. We also introduce a new method to analytically calculate the
 selection gradient in periodic environments, which allows our predictions
 to be interpreted using the concept of reproductive value, and can be
 applied more generally to analyse eco-evolutionary dynamics in
 class-structured populations and fluctuating environments.

title: Revisiting the evolution of Ostrinia moths with phylogenomics (Pyraloidea: Crambidae: Pyraustinae)

description: Reconstructing a robust phylogenetic framework is key to understanding the
 ecology and evolution of many economically important taxa. The crambid
 moth genus Ostrinia contains multiple agricultural
 pests, and its classification and phylogeny has remained controversial due
 to the paucity of characters and the lack of clear morphological
 boundaries for its species. To address these issues, we inferred a
 molecular phylogeny of Ostrinia using a phylogenomic
 dataset containing 498 loci and 115,197 nucleotide sites and examined
 whether traditional morphological characters corroborate our molecular
 results. Our results strongly support the monophyly of one of
 the Ostrinia species groups but surprisingly do not
 support the monophyly of the other two. Based on the extensive
 morphological examination and broadly representative taxon sampling of the
 phylogenomic analyses, we propose a revised classification of the
 genus, defined by three species groups (Ostrinia
 nubilalis species group, Ostrinia
 obumbratalis species group, and Ostrinia
 penitalis species group), which differs from the traditional
 classification of Mutuura & Munroe (1970). Morphological
 and molecular evidence reveal the presence of a new North American
 species, O. multispinosa Yang, sp.n., closely
 related to O. obumbratalis. Our analyses indicate that
 the Ostrinia ancestral larval host preference was for
 dicots, and that O. nubilalis (European corn borer)
 and O. furnacalis (Asian corn borer) independently
 evolved a preference for feeding on monocots (i.e., maize). Males of a
 few Ostrinia species have enlarged, grooved midtibiae
 with brush organs that are known to attract females during courtship.
 Males of the ancestral Ostrinia had relatively small
 midtibiae without brush organs, suggesting that the
 ancestral mate-finding behavior instead involved
 pheromones emitted by females. Our study provides a
 strong evolutionary framework for this agriculturally important insect
 lineage.

title: Buoys with looming eyes deter seaducks and could potentially reduce seabird bycatch in gillnets

description: Bycatch of seabirds in gillnet fisheries is a global conservation issue
 with an estimated 400,000 seabirds killed each year. To date, no
 underwater deterrents trialled have consistently reduced seabird bycatch
 across operational fisheries. Using a combination of insights from
 land-based strategies, seabirds’ diving behaviours and their cognitive
 abilities, we developed a floating device exploring the effect of large
 eyespots and looming movement to prevent vulnerable seabirds from diving
 into gillnets. Here, we tested whether this novel above-water device
 called “Looming-eyes buoy” (LEB) would consistently deter vulnerable
 seaducks from a focal area. We counted the number of birds present in
 areas with and without LEBs in a controlled experimental setting. We show
 that Long-tailed duck Clangula hyemalis abundance declined by ~20-30%
 within a 50m radius of the LEB and that the presence of LEBs was the most
 important variable explaining this decline. We found no evidence for a
 memory effect on Long-tailed ducks but found some habituation to the LEB
 within the time frame of the project (62 days). While further research is
 needed, our preliminary trials indicate that above-water visual devices
 could potentially contribute to reduce seabird bycatch if appropriately
 deployed in coordination with other management measures.
