title: Data from: Knockouts of high-ranking males have limited impact on baboon social networks

description: Social network structures can crucially impact complex social processes
 such as collective behaviour or the transmission of information and
 diseases. However, currently it is poorly understood how social networks
 change over time. Previous studies on primates suggest that ‘knockouts’
 (due to death or dispersal) of high-ranking individuals might be important
 drivers for structural changes in animal social networks. Here we test
 this hypothesis using long-term data on a natural population of baboons,
 examining the effects of 29 natural knockouts of alpha or beta males on
 adult female social networks. We investigated whether and how knockouts
 affected (1) changes in grooming and association rates among adult
 females, and (2) changes in mean degree and global clustering coefficient
 in these networks. The only significant effect that we found was a
 decrease in mean degree in grooming networks in the first month after
 knockouts, but this decrease was rather small, and grooming networks
 rebounded to baseline levels by the second month after knockouts. Taken
 together our results indicate that the removal of high-ranking males has
 only limited or no lasting effects on social networks of adult female
 baboons. This finding calls into question the hypothesis that the removal
 of high-ranking individuals has a destabilizing effect on social network
 structures in social animals.

title: EEG Attention Dataset

description: This study’s EEG experiment was divided into five groups, each corresponding to a different auditory stimulation condition: classical music, alpha-wave music, singing bowl music, natural environmental sounds, and a no-music control group. Each group included three participants, for a total of fifteen participants. To ensure de-identification, participants are labeled only as P1–P15.


Each participant’s EEG data consists of three parts:


Meditation EEG: EEG recordings collected during deep meditation and resting state.


RSVP EEG with music background (pre-test): EEG recordings collected while participants performed the RSVP task under their assigned auditory condition.


RSVP EEG without music background (post-test): EEG recordings collected while participants performed the RSVP task without auditory stimulation.


All EEG data are stored in .csv files, with each file containing:


Time series


EEG signals from each electrode site, covering the theta–gamma frequency bands


This dataset structure supports subsequent EEG feature extraction, analysis of attentional performance, and comparative studies across conditions.

title: Data from: Reproductive trade-offs in a long-lived bird species: condition-dependent reproductive allocation maintains female survival and offspring quality

description: Life-history theory is an essential framework to understand the evolution
 of reproductive allocation. It predicts that individuals of long-lived
 species favour their own survival over current reproduction, leading
 individuals to refrain from reproducing under harsh conditions. Here we
 test this prediction in a long-lived bird species, the Siberian jay
 Perisoreus infaustus. Long-term data revealed that females rarely refrain
 from breeding, but lay smaller clutches in unfavourable years. Neither
 offspring body size, female survival nor offspring survival until the next
 year was influenced by annual condition, habitat quality, clutch size,
 female age, or female phenotype. Given that many nests failed due to nest
 predation, the variance in the number of fledglings was higher than the
 variance in the number of eggs and female survival. An experimental
 challenge with a novel pathogen before egg-laying largely replicated these
 patterns in two consecutive years with contrasting conditions. Challenged
 females refrained from breeding only in the unfavourable year, but no
 downstream effects were found in either year. Taken together, these
 findings demonstrate that condition-dependent reproductive allocation may
 serve to maintain female survival and offspring quality, supporting
 patterns found in long-lived mammals. We discuss avenues to develop
 life-history theory concerning strategies to offset reproductive costs.

title: Data from: The rarity of size-assortative mating in animals: assessing the evidence with anuran amphibians

description: Assortative mating in animals can have substantial evolutionary impact.
 Numerous reports also make it appear to be pervasive in occurrence. In
 assortative mating, defined here in behavioral terms, animals select their
 mates according to a particular shared trait such that mated individuals
 resemble each other phenotypically more than expected by chance. Body size
 is a widely studied assortment trait. This is especially relevant for
 anuran amphibians (frogs and toads), among whom reproductive advantages
 may accrue to large individuals of both sexes. Anurans also exhibit
 discrete forms of male mating behavior. Sedentary calling behavior of
 “sitters” allows for female choice whereas fighting for possession of
 mates by “scramblers” precludes female choice. Size-assortative mating in
 anurans, therefore, should be a property of sitters, not scramblers. I
 used meta-analysis to assess the occurrence of true size-assortative
 mating in relation to mating behaviour and other variables in 282 studies
 of 68 species of anurans. I found publication bias against reporting
 non-significant results and analytical bias resulting from pooling of
 samples collected at different times or places (Simpson’s Paradox). Pooled
 samples significantly inflated the apparent occurrence and strength of
 size-assortative mating. Controlling for such biases left little credible
 evidence for size-assortative mating behavior in any anurans. Instead,
 large-male advantage among scramblers was associated with a 2° pattern of
 concomitant non-random mating. In this “disproportionate” mating, neither
 sex behaves according to mate choice rules that could lead to consistently
 strong assortment. It should thus have relatively little evolutionary
 impact compared to true assortative mating.

title: Data from: Selfish evolution of cytonuclear hybrid incompatibility in Mimulus

description: Intraspecific coevolution between selfish elements and suppressors may
 promote interspecific hybrid incompatibility, but evidence of this process
 is rare. Here, we use genomic data to test alternative models for the
 evolution of cytonuclear hybrid male sterility in Mimulus. In hybrids
 between Iron Mountain (IM) Mimulus guttatus × Mimulus nasutus, two tightly
 linked M. guttatus alleles (Rf1/Rf2) each restore male fertility by
 suppressing a local mitochondrial male-sterility gene (IM-CMS). Unlike
 neutral models for the evolution of hybrid incompatibility loci, selfish
 evolution predicts that the Rf alleles experienced strong selection in the
 presence of IM-CMS. Using whole-genome sequences, we compared patterns of
 population-genetic variation in Rf at IM to a neighbouring population that
 lacks IM-CMS. Consistent with local selection in the presence of IM-CMS,
 the Rf region shows elevated FST, high local linkage disequilibrium and a
 distinct haplotype structure at IM, but not at Cone Peak (CP), suggesting
 a recent sweep in the presence of IM-CMS. In both populations, Rf2
 exhibited lower polymorphism than other regions, but the low-diversity
 outliers were different between CP and IM. Our results confirm theoretical
 predictions of ubiquitous cytonuclear conflict in plants and provide a
 population-genetic mechanism for the evolution of a common form of hybrid
 incompatibility.

title: Data from: A costly chemical trait: phenotypic condition dependence of cuticular hydrocarbons in a dung beetle

description: Chemical traits are increasingly recognised as important cues used in mate
 choice. For example, the cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) of insects have
 been shown to influence mating success in a range of taxa. Less is known,
 however, about how CHCs are expressed in proportion to an individual’s
 condition, and consequently whether CHCs can function as condition
 dependent signals of quality. We investigated this question using the dung
 beetle, Onthophagus taurus. CHCs are subject to sexual selection in this
 species through mate choice. A dietary manipulation revealed condition
 dependence of CHC expression for both sexes: dietary restriction decreased
 overall CHC production and altered the composition of CHCs. Furthermore,
 CHC production was associated with a measure of condition in beetles fed a
 limited diet but not those fed ad libitum. These results implicate a
 resource cost to CHC production that is likely to result in trade-offs
 with other fitness components in this species, as these respond similarly
 to a dietary restriction. The CHC profiles showed sexual dimorphism: males
 produced more CHCs and the sexes differed in the blend of compounds they
 produced. There was evidence for a male dimorphism in the CHC profile, in
 line with the presence of the alternative reproductive tactics (minor
 sneaks and major fighters) in this species. However, rather than mimicking
 a female CHC profile, minor males differed more from females than major
 males. Our results suggest that CHCs are a costly trait in O. taurus that
 has the potential to act as a condition dependent signal of quality.

title: Data from: Depth specialization in mesophotic corals (Leptoseris spp.) and associated algal symbionts in Hawai‘i

description: Corals at the lower limits of mesophotic habitats are likely to have
 unique photosynthetic adaptations that allow them to persist and dominate
 in these extreme low light ecosystems. We examined the host–symbiont
 relationships from the dominant coral genus Leptoseris in mesophotic
 environments from Hawai'i collected by submersibles across a depth
 gradient of 65–125 m. Coral and Symbiodinium genotypes were compared with
 three distinct molecular markers including coral (COX1–1-rRNA intron) and
 Symbiodinium (COI) mitochondrial markers and nuclear ITS2. The
 phylogenetic reconstruction clearly resolved five Leptoseris species,
 including one species (Leptoseris hawaiiensis) exclusively found in deeper
 habitats (115–125 m). The Symbiodinium mitochondrial marker resolved three
 unambiguous haplotypes in clade C, which were found at significantly
 different frequencies between host species and depths, with one haplotype
 exclusively found at the lower mesophotic extremes (95–125 m). These
 patterns of host–symbiont depth specialization indicate that there are
 limits to connectivity between upper and lower mesophotic zones,
 suggesting that niche specialization plays a critical role in
 host–symbiont evolution at mesophotic extremes.

title: Data from: Landscape genetics of a pollinator longhorn beetle [Typocerus v. velutinus (Olivier)] on a continuous habitat surface

description: Landscape connectivity, the degree to which the landscape structure
 facilitates or impedes organismal movement and gene flow, is increasingly
 important to conservationists and land managers. Metrics for describing
 the undulating shape of continuous habitat surfaces can expand the
 usefulness of continuous gradient surfaces that describe habitat and
 predict the flow of organisms and genes. We adopted a landscape gradient
 model of habitat and used surface metrics of connectivity to model the
 genetic continuity between populations of the banded longhorn beetle
 [Typocerus v. velutinus (Olivier)] collected at 17 sites across a
 fragmentation gradient in Indiana, USA. We tested the hypothesis that
 greater habitat connectivity facilitates gene flow between beetle
 populations against a null model of isolation by distance (IBD). We used
 next-generation sequencing to develop 10 polymorphic microsatellite loci
 and genotype the individual beetles to assess the population genetic
 structure. Isolation by distance did not explain the population genetic
 structure. The surface metrics model of habitat connectivity explained the
 variance in genetic dissimilarities 30 times better than the IBD model. We
 conclude that surface metrology of habitat maps is a powerful extension of
 landscape genetics in heterogeneous landscapes.

title: Data from: Rearing conditions have long-term sex-specific fitness consequences in the collared flycatcher

description: Rearing conditions may exert profound effects on individual performance,
 however, effects manifested after independence and recruitment are seldom
 considered. Here, we examine the long-term fitness consequences of rearing
 conditions in the collared flycatcher, a species where rearing conditions
 have sex-specific effects on nestling growth (with greater effects in
 males), but not on morphology at fledging. We performed a brood size
 manipulation experiment, and followed the recruits during their local
 lifetime. Brood size manipulation did not influence recruitment
 probability. However, the experiment had a sex-specific effect on the
 number of eggs the recruits had during their entire lifetime. While
 reproductive output was unaffected by rearing conditions in females, males
 reared in enlarged broods were outperformed by males reared in reduced
 broods. This effect was mediated by the number of years, in which the
 recruits were recaptured. Interestingly, at their first reproductive
 event, recruits from reduced broods bred later. In the study, we
 controlled for paternity, and found that extra-pair young had fewer eggs
 than within-pair young at their first reproductive event, but not during
 their whole local lifetime. In general, our results show that first,
 long-term effects of rearing conditions are not necessarily detectable by
 looking at recruitment probability only. Second, the sex that is more
 affected by rearing conditions in the short-term seems to be the one that
 is more affected in the long-term as well. Third, short-term sex-specific
 environmental sensitivity may have predictive value for fitness
 consequences even if the sex-difference that is apparent during
 development vanishes by fledging.

title: Data from: Contrasting patterns of insect herbivory and predation pressure across a tropical rainfall gradient

description: One explanation for the extraordinarily high tree diversity of tropical
 lowland forests is that it is maintained by specialized natural enemies
 such as insect herbivores, which cause distance and density dependent
 mortality. Insect herbivory could also explain the positive correlation
 between tree species richness and rainfall if herbivory increases with
 rainfall, is higher on locally abundant versus rare species, and is not
 limited by predation pressure at wet sites. To test these predictions,
 insect herbivory and predation pressure on insect herbivores were
 quantified across a Neotropical rainfall and tree species richness
 gradient, and herbivory was investigated in relation to local tree
 abundances. Insect herbivory on leaves (folivory) decreased strongly and
 significantly with rainfall, while predation pressure was significantly
 higher at the wetter site. Herbivores were more likely to attack abundant
 tree species, but herbivore damage levels were not related to tree species
 abundance. Insect folivores might contribute to local tree species
 coexistence in our system, but seem unlikely to drive the positive
 correlation between tree species richness and rainfall. The unexpected and
 contrasting patterns of herbivory and predation we observed support the
 need for a multi-trophic perspective to understand fully the processes
 contributing to diversity and ecosystem functioning.

title: Data from: What is behind the variation in mate quality dependent sex ratio adjustment? – A meta-analysis

description: Theory predicts that parents adjust the sex ratio of their brood to the
 sexually selected traits of their mate because the reproductive success of
 sons may be more dependent on inherited paternal attractiveness than that
 of daughters. Empirical studies vary in terms of whether they support the
 theory, and this variation has often been regarded as evidence against sex
 ratio adjustment or has been ascribed to methodological differences.
 Applying phylogenetic meta-analyses, we aimed to find biological
 explanations for the variation observed in songbirds. In particular, we
 tested the role extra-pair paternity, because infidelity occurs in the
 majority of these species and may reduce the adaptive value of adjusting
 brood sex ratio to the phenotype of the social mate. However, we found
 that the variation in effect sizes was unrelated to the proportion of
 extra-pair paternity. Thus future studies should consider that mate
 quality dependent sex ratio adjustment may be driven by direct (material)
 rather than indirect (genetic) benefits. We also tested if the effect
 sizes are influenced by whether the focal male trait is indeed under
 sexual selection as it is assumed by the sex allocation theory. We found
 that for male traits with proven role in sexual selection, effect sizes
 significantly differed from the null expectation of random production of
 sons and daughters. For male traits with only presumed sexual role in
 sexual selection, the deviation from the null expectation was less
 convincing, and the effect sizes were significantly smaller. This result
 indicates that studies that neglect the assumptions of the hypotheses
 concerned, may lead to the underestimation of the mean effect size and,
 eventually, false conclusions.
