title: Data from: Reciprocal intraguild predation and predator coexistence

description: 1. Intraguild predation is a mix of competition and predation, and occurs
 when one species feeds on another species that uses similar resources.
 Theory predicts that intraguild predation hampers coexistence of species
 involved, but it is common in nature. It has been suggested that
 increasing habitat complexity and the presence of alternative food may
 promote coexistence. Reciprocal intraguild predation limits possibilities
 for coexistence even further. Habitat complexity and the presence of
 alternative food are believed to promote coexistence. 2. We investigated
 this using two species of predatory mites, Iphiseiodes zuluagai and
 Euseius concordis, by assessing co-occurrence in the field and on arenas
 differing in spatial structure in the laboratory. 3. The predators
 co-occured on the same plants in the field. In the laboratory, adults of
 the two mites fed on juveniles of the other species, both in the presence
 and the absence of a shared food source, showing that the two species are
 involved in reciprocal intraguild predation. Adults of I. zuluagai also
 attacked adults of E. concordis This suggests limited possibilities for
 coexistence of the two species. Indeed, E. concordis invariably went
 extinct extremely rapidly on arenas without spatial structure with
 populations consisting of all stages of the two predators and with a
 shared resource. Coexistence was prolonged on host plant leaves with extra
 food sources, but E. concordis still went extinct. On small, intact
 plants, coexistence of the two species was much longer, and ended with the
 other species, I. zuluagai, often going extinct. 4. These results suggest
 that spatial structure and the presence of alternative food increase the
 coexistence period of intraguild predators.

title: Data from: Non-genomic transmission of paternal behavior between fathers and sons in the monogamous and biparental California mouse

description: Maternal behaviour has profound, long-lasting implications for the health
 and well-being of developing offspring. In the monogamous California mouse
 (Peromyscus californicus), care by both parents is critical for offspring
 survival. We tested the hypothesis that similar to maternal care in
 rodents, paternal huddling and grooming (HG) behaviour can be transmitted
 to future generations via behavioural mechanisms. In California mice,
 testosterone maintains paternal HG behaviour. In the present study, we
 randomly assigned a group of male California mice to castration or
 sham-operated conditions and allowed them to raise their offspring
 normally. Adult sons of these males were paired with a female, and they
 were observed interacting with their own offspring. We found that like
 their fathers, the sons of castrated males huddled and groomed their young
 at lower levels than the sons of sham-operated fathers. The sons of
 castrates also retrieved pups more frequently. When both parents were
 present, the sons of castrates also showed a trend towards engaging in
 less exploratory behaviour. These data support the hypothesis that
 paternal behaviour, like maternal behaviour, can be transferred to future
 generations via epigenetic mechanisms and suggest that in a biparental
 species both parents contribute to offspring behavioural development.

title: Data from: Innovative females are more promiscuous in great tits (Parus major)

description: Individual variation in the propensity to express innovative behaviors is
 increasingly recognized as ecologically and evolutionary significant. A
 growing number of studies show that more innovative individuals can
 realize higher breeding success, indicating that innovativeness may be
 important in mating decisions. Here we investigated whether male and
 female performance in innovative problem-solving tasks is linked to sexual
 selection via extra-pair mating behavior. We observed the problem-solving
 success of great tit (Parus major) pairs in 2 tasks at the nest, and
 related it to the occurrence of extra-pair paternity (EPP) in their
 broods. In a food-acquisition task, we found no difference in EPP among
 pairs in which the male solved, pairs in which the female solved, and
 unsuccessful pairs. In an obstacle-removal task that was solved almost
 exclusively by females, EPP was more frequent in broods of solver females
 than in broods of unsuccessful females. These results do not support the
 hypothesis that the social male’s innovativeness influences the female’s
 extra-pair mating behavior. Instead, they suggest that the female’s
 infidelity covaries positively with her innovativeness. Furthermore, EPP
 was related to both parents’ neophobia such that pairs of highly neophobic
 individuals were less likely to have EPP than pairs that contained at
 least one individual with low neophobia. These findings indicate that
 promiscuity is associated with certain behavioral phenotypes, suggesting
 that both innovativeness and novelty seeking may facilitate the investment
 into and/or the exposure to extra-pair mating attempts.

title: Data from: Nutrient addition affects scaling relationship of leaf nitrogen to phosphorus in Arabidopsis thaliana

description: 1. Ambient nutrient changes influence the coupling of nitrogen (N) and
 phosphorus (P) in terrestrial ecosystems, but whether it could alter the
 scaling relationship of plant leaf N to P concentrations remains unclear.
 2. Here we conducted experimental manipulations using Arabidopsis
 thaliana, with five levels of N and P additions and nine repeated
 experiments, and then evaluated the changes in the scaling relationship of
 leaf N to P concentrations under nutrient additions. 3. Overall, leaf N
 concentration scaled as 0.552 power of leaf P concentration for all data
 pooled. However, when considering the effect of the type of nutrient
 addition, the scaling relationship for pooled data of the five levels of N
 addition was insignificant at two growth stages (young-leaf and
 mature-leaf stages), whereas the scaling relationship for pooled data of
 the five levels of P addition was significant with exponents of 0.290 and
 0.268 at the two growth stages, respectively. Furthermore, the scaling
 exponent decreased with the increasing levels of N addition, but increased
 with the increasing levels of P addition. This suggests that high nutrient
 availability decreases the variability of its own concentration, but
 promotes the fluctuation in another tightly associated nutrient
 concentration in leaves among plant individuals. We call this as Nutrient
 Availability–Individual Variability Hypothesis. 4. Our results suggest
 that scaling relationship of leaf N to P concentrations is largely
 modulated by the type and level of nutrient addition, and analyses of leaf
 N vs. P scaling relationships using pooled data could lose much
 information rooted in biologically and ecologically significant variances.
 These findings provide important implications for the parameterization in
 modelling stoichiometric growth and nutrient cycles in terrestrial
 ecosystems, and for understanding population structures, processes and
 functioning under varying nutrient environments. However, whether our
 observed patterns in A. thaliana could be extended to those at community
 level warrants further studies and more validations.

title: Data from: Subordinate plants sustain the complexity and stability of soil micro-food webs in natural bamboo forest ecosystems

description: Subordinate plants have a significant impact on soil organisms in primary
 successional floodplains and grassland ecosystems, but their role in
 subtropical forest ecosystems remains unclear. An experiment was conducted
 in a subtropical forest to test the hypothesis that removal of shrubs or
 subordinate arbour tree species would reduce the complexity and stability
 of the soil micro-food web. Principal response curves (PRCs) were
 performed to assess the responses of soil microbial and nematode
 communities to plant removal compared with a control through time. The
 effect of plant removal on complexity and stability in the soil micro-food
 web was assessed using a suite of indices including ratio of
 omnivorous-predatory to herbivorous nematode abundance (OP : H ratio),
 nematode diversity, resistance and resilience. Furthermore, increments of
 bamboo productivity among treatments were estimated. Soil microbial
 community structure changed in response to plant removal in 2009, but
 recovered in 2010, and the only change observed was increased soil fungal
 biomass. In contrast, plant removal had greater impact on soil nematode
 community composition in 2010 than 2009. Subordinate arbour tree species
 removal (with or without shrubs) decreased the values of nematode
 richness, evenness, diversity, ratio of microbial-feeding to herbivorous
 nematode abundance (M : H ratios), OP : H ratios and resistance indices in
 2010, but only decreased OP : H ratios in 2009 and increased the values of
 nematode dominance in 2010. Although increments in bamboo productivity
 were statistically similar among treatments, there was a trend decreasing
 progressively from control to shrub removal + selective-cutting of
 subordinate arbour tree species, shrub removal, and selective-cutting of
 subordinate arbour tree species treatments. Synthesis and applications.
 Subordinate plants help sustain the complexity and stability of soil
 micro-food webs in subtropical bamboo forest ecosystems. Therefore,
 protection of subordinate plants and maintaining high plant diversity are
 important parts of a responsible management strategy in subtropical bamboo
 forests.

title: Data from: Community-wide consequences of sexual dimorphism: evidence from nectar microbes in dioecious plants

description: Intra-specific trait variation is receiving renewed interest as a factor
 affecting the structure of multi-species communities within and across
 trophic levels. One pervasive form of intra-specific trait variation is
 sexual dimorphism in animals and plants, which might exert large effects
 particularly on the communities of host-associated organisms, but the
 extent of these effects is not well understood. We investigated whether
 host-associated microbial communities developed differently in the floral
 nectar of female and male individuals of the dioecious shrubs, Eurya
 emarginata and E. japonica. We found that nectar-colonizing microbes such
 as bacteria and fungi were more than twice as prevalent and, overall, more
 than ten times as abundant in male flowers as in female flowers. Microbial
 species composition also differed between flower sexes. To examine
 potential mechanisms behind these differences, we manipulated the
 frequency of flower visitation by animals and the order of arrival of
 microbial species to nectar. Animal visitation frequency affected
 microbial communities more greatly in male flowers, while arrival order
 affected them more in female flowers. These sex-specific effects appeared
 attributable to differences in how animals and microbes altered the
 chemical characteristics of nectar that limited microbial growth. Taken
 together, our results provide evidence that sexual dimorphism can have
 large effects on the structure of host-associated communities.

title: Data from: Self-recognition in crickets via on-line processing

description: Self-referent phenotype matching, the ability of animals to use aspects of
 their own phenotype as a referent in discrimination decisions, is believed
 to play a significant role in nepotistic interactions and mate choice in a
 wide range of taxa [1]. An individual’s ability to assess the similarity
 between its own phenotype and that of the individuals it encounters can
 provide a reliable measure of relatedness, thereby facilitating inbreeding
 avoidance, optimal outbreeding or altruistic behavior towards kin 2 and 3.
 Although self-referencing is believed to be widespread, definitive
 evidence is scarce and its role in recognition controversial, in part,
 because of the difficulty in ruling out early exposure to close kin and
 the possibility that individuals imprint on maternal cues early in their
 ontogeny, either during birth or via cues encountered upon hatching from
 eggs 1 and 4. An equally important, yet unanswered question is whether
 individuals that perform self-referencing imprint on their own traits at
 an early stage, relying on this memorized template in subsequent
 interactions, or whether no memory is formed but individuals use their own
 phenotype directly in comparison with other individuals (i.e., ‘on-line
 processing’) [3]. Finally, animals may possess ‘recognition alleles’, in
 which both the phenotypic cues and the knowledge of the cues have a
 genetic basis [5]. Here we show in the decorated cricket, Gryllodes
 sigillatus, that female mate choice can be manipulated by experimentally
 altering a female’s own olfactory cues. We found exclusive evidence both
 for the existence of a chemosensory self-referencing mechanism and that
 females do not rely on an innate or early learned template but rather
 directly use their own phenotypic cues in comparison.

title: ATG9 inhibits <i>Rickettsia</i> binding to the host cell surface by blocking the rOmpB-XRCC6/KU70 interaction

description: ickettsiae are tick-borne pathogens that infect human hosts through poorly characterized mechanisms. Herein, we report that ATG9 (autophagy related 9) plays a previously unrecognized role in inhibiting Rickettsia binding to the host cell surface. Unexpectedly, this new function of ATG9 is likely independent of macroautophagy/autophagy. Instead, ATG9 acts as a host defending factor by binding to XRCC6/KU70, a receptor of the Rickettsia outer-membrane protein rOmpB. Both ATG9 and rOmpB bind to the DNA-binding domain of XRCC6, suggesting a competitive role for ATG9 occupying the binding site of rOmpB to abrogate Rickettsia binding. Furthermore, we show that rapamycin transcriptionally activates ATG9 and inhibits rOmpB-mediated infection in a mouse model. Collectively, our study reveals a novel innate mechanism regulating Rickettsia infection and suggests that agonists of ATG9 May be useful for developing therapeutic strategies for the intervention of rickettsial diseases. <b>Abbreviation</b>: APEX2: apurinic/apyrimidinic endodeoxyribonuclease 2; ATG: autophagy related; BafA1: bafilomycin A1; CQ: chloroquine; E. coli: Escherichia coli; GST: glutathione S-transferase; ICM: immunofluorescence confocal microscopy; IP-Mass: immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry; KD: knockdown; MAP1LC3/LC3: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3; MTOR: mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase; rOmpB: rickettsial outer membrane protein B; SAP: SAF-A/B, Acinus, and PIAS; SQSTM1/p62: sequestosome 1; TEM: transmission electron microscopy; TFEB: transcription factor EB; VWA: von Willebrand factor A; XRCC6/KU70: X-ray repair cross complementing 6.

title: Data from: Recent northward range expansion promotes song evolution in a passerine bird, the Light-vented Bulbul

description: In common with human speech, song is culturally inherited in oscine
 passerine birds (‘songbirds’). Intraspecific divergence in birdsong, such
 as development of local dialects, might be an important early step in the
 speciation process. It is therefore vital to understand how songs diverge,
 especially in founding populations. The northward expansion of the
 Light-vented Bulbul Pycnonotus sinensis (J. F. Gmelin, 1789) into north
 China in the last 30 years provides an excellent opportunity to study
 birdsong evolution. We compared ~4400 songs from newly established
 northern populations with ~2900 songs from southern populations to
 evaluate song divergence after recent expansion. The total pool of
 syllables and especially song types was considerably smaller in the north
 than in the south, indicating ‘founder effects’ in the new population. The
 ancestral pattern of mosaic song dialects changed into a pattern of wide
 geographical sharing of a few song types and syllables, likely the result
 of fewer geographical barriers to ‘meme flow’, and the recent spread
 across a large area in the north. Our results suggest that song evolution
 and vocal trait shifts can arise rapidly after range expansion, and that
 in the Light-vented Bulbul ‘founder effects’, geographical isolation, and
 recent rapid expansions played important roles in the evolution of song
 dialects.

title: Data from: Mycorrhizal feedback is not associated with the outcome of competition in old-field perennial plants

description: The symbiosis between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is
 hypothesized to be an important contributor to plant–soil feedbacks, which
 can influence the outcome of inter-specific competition. Mycorrhizal
 feedbacks can be conspecific, which affects individuals of the same
 species, or heterospecific, which affects individuals of a different
 species. When heterospecific feedbacks are more positive than conspecific
 feedbacks, heterospecific individuals are expected to outcompete
 conspecific individuals. To test this hypothesis, we quantified
 conspecific mycorrhizal feedback for Plantago lanceolata as a focal
 species, and heterospecific mycorrhizal feedbacks for 21 competitor
 old-field species using mycorrhizae cultured with P. lanceolata. We
 quantified inter-specific competition against the focal species by growing
 the 21 old-field species with and without P. lanceolata in the presence of
 mycorrhizae cultured with P. lanceolata. Heterospecific and conspecific
 feedbacks were both positive, and average heterospecific feedbacks
 exceeded conspecific feedback by 75%. Competition suppressed P. lanceolata
 biomass by 14% and average competitor biomass was reduced by 44% in the
 presence of P. lanceolata, and these effects varied with competitor
 species identity. Contrary to predictions, the magnitude of heterospecific
 feedbacks did not predict the ability of competitor species to either
 suppress or resist suppression by P. lanceolata. Instead, the outcome of
 competition was significantly and positively correlated with intrinsic
 growth rate, measured as biomass of competitor species five weeks after
 germination in non-inoculated conditions. Our findings suggest that
 species experiencing more positive mycorrhizal feedbacks than a competitor
 do not necessarily have a competitive advantage. Mycorrhizal mediated soil
 feedbacks may be less important than intrinsic differences in growth rate
 in determining competitive outcomes.
