title: Data from: Exposure and susceptibility drive reinfection with gastrointestinal parasites in a social primate

description: 1. Increased risk of infectious disease transmission has been proposed as
 one major cost of group living. While factors corresponding to
 transmission via exposure to infectious stages and susceptibility to
 infections upon contact are relatively well understood, both aspects are
 rarely investigated simultaneously. 2. Here, we assessed the influence of
 exposure and susceptibility measures on strongyle nematode reinfection
 after experimental deworming of Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus) (n=57).
 We investigated impacts of behaviour (social bonds, grooming and ground
 use) and physiology (faecal glucocorticoids, urinary C-Peptides, urinary
 neopterin, gastrointestinal [GI] helminth coinfection) on the likelihood
 of reinfection, using patch occupancy modelling and information theoretic
 model selection to determine the best models predicting reinfection
 patterns. 3. Coinfection was the most consistent risk factor, spending
 time on presumably contaminated soil, interacting with many partners and
 forming strong same sex bonds also tended to increase infection risk. In
 contrast, strong social bonds with opposite sex partners had a
 consistently protective effect. 4. Our results indicate that coinfections
 could serve as an integrative measure of individual disease
 susceptibility. Furthermore, we show that social contact contributes to
 both exposure and susceptibility to environmentally transmitted parasites,
 with the outcome depending on specific interactions patterns.

title: Data from: Spatiotemporal variability in the structure of seagrass meadows and associated macrofaunal assemblages in southwest England (UK): using citizen science to benchmark ecological pattern

description: Seagrass meadows underpin a variety of ecosystem services and are
 recognised as globally important habitats and a conservation priority.
 However, seagrass populations are currently impacted by a range of biotic
 and abiotic stressors, and many are in decline globally. As such, improved
 understanding of seagrass populations and their associated faunal
 assemblages is needed to better detect and predict changes in the
 structure and functioning of these key habitats. Here, we analysed a large
 dataset -collected by recreational scuba divers volunteering on a citizen
 science project - to examine spatiotemporal patterns in ecological
 structure and to provide a robust and reliable baseline against which to
 detect future change. Seagrass (Zostera marina) shoot density and the
 abundance of associated faunal groups was quantified across 2 years at 19
 sites nested within 3 locations in southwest UK, by collecting in situ
 quadrat samples (2518 in total) during 328 dives. Seagrass shoot density
 and meadow fragmentation was comparable across locations but was highly
 variable amongst sites. Faunal abundance and assemblage structure varied
 between areas with or without seagrass shoots; this pattern was largely
 consistent between locations and years. Overall, increased seagrass
 density was related to increased faunal abundance and explained shifts in
 faunal assemblage structure, although individual faunal groups were
 affected differently. More broadly, our study shows that well-funded and
 orchestrated citizen science projects can, to some extent, gather
 fundamental information needed to benchmark ecological structure in
 poorly-studied nearshore marine habitats.

title: Data from: Aerodynamic reconstruction of the primitive fossil bat Onychonycteris finneyi (Mammalia: Chiroptera)

description: Bats are the only mammals capable of powered flight. One of the oldest
 bats known from a complete skeleton is Onychonycteris finneyi from the
 Early Eocene (Green River Formation, Wyoming, 52.5 mya). Estimated to
 weigh ~40 g, Onychonycteris exhibits the most primitive combination of
 characters thus far known for bats. Here we reconstructed the aerofoil of
 the two known specimens, calculated basic aerodynamic variables, and
 compared them with those of extant bats and gliding mammals.
 Onychonycteris appears in the edges of the morphospace for bats,
 underscoring the primitive conformation of its flight apparatus. Low
 aerodynamic efficiency is inferred for this extinct species as compared to
 any extant bat. When we estimated aerofoil variables in a model of
 Onychonycteris excluding the handwing, it closely approached the
 morphospace of extant gliding mammals. Addition of a handwing to the model
 lacking this structure results in a 2.3-fold increase in aspect ratio and
 a 28% decrease in wing loading, thus greatly enhancing aerodynamics. In
 the context of these models, the rapid evolution of the chiropteran
 handwing via genetically-mediated developmental changes appears to have
 been a key transformation in the hypothesized transition from gliding to
 flapping in early bats.

title: Data from: Baseline and stress-induced corticosterone levels are heritable and genetically correlated in a barn owl population

description: The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is responsible for the
 regulation of corticosterone, a hormone that is essential in the mediation
 of energy allocation and physiological stress. As a continuous source of
 challenge and stress for organisms, the environment has promoted the
 evolution of physiological adaptations and led to a great variation in
 corticosterone profiles within or among individuals, populations and
 species. In order to evolve via natural selection, corticosterone levels
 do not only depend on the strength of selection exerted on them but also
 on the extent to which the regulation of corticosterone is heritable.
 Nevertheless, heritability of corticosterone profiles in wild populations
 is still poorly understood. In this study, we estimated the heritability
 of baseline and stress-induced corticosterone levels in barn owl (Tyto
 alba) nestlings from 8 years of data, using a multivariate animal model
 based on a behavioural pedigree. We found that baseline and stress-induced
 corticosterone levels are strongly genetically correlated (r = 0.68 –
 0.80) and that the heritability of stress-induced corticosterone levels
 (h2 = 0.24 – 0.33) was moderate and similar to the heritability of
 baseline corticosterone levels (h2 = 0.19 – 0.30). These findings suggest
 that the regulation of stress-induced corticosterone and baseline levels
 evolve at a similar pace when selection acts with the same intensity on
 both traits, and that contrary to previous studies, the evolution of
 baseline and stress-induced level is interdependent in barn owls, as they
 may be strongly genetically correlated.

title: Data from: Nocturnal flight-calling behaviour predicts vulnerability to artificial light in migratory birds

description: Understanding interactions between biota and the built environment is
 increasingly important as human modification of the landscape expands in
 extent and intensity. For migratory birds, collisions with lighted
 structures are a major cause of mortality, but the mechanisms behind these
 collisions are poorly understood. Using 40 years of collision records of
 passerine birds, we investigated the importance of species’ behavioral
 ecologies in predicting rates of building collisions during nocturnal
 migration through Chicago, IL and Cleveland, OH, USA. We found that use of
 nocturnal flight calls is an important predictor of collision risk in
 nocturnally migrating passerine birds. Species that produce flight calls
 during nocturnal migration collided with buildings more than expected
 given their local abundance, whereas those that do not use such
 communication collided much less frequently. Our results suggest that a
 stronger attraction response to artificial light at night in species that
 produce flight calls may mediate these differences in collision rates.
 Nocturnal flight calls likely evolved to facilitate collective
 decision-making during navigation, but this same social behavior may now
 exacerbate vulnerability to a widespread anthropogenic disturbance. Our
 results also suggest that social behavior during migration may reflect
 poorly-understood differences in navigational mechanisms across lineages
 of birds.

title: Data from: Availability of food resources and habitat structure shape the individual‐resource network of a neotropical marsupial

description: 1. Spatial and temporal variation in networks has been reported in
 different studies. However, the many effects of habitat structure and
 food-resource availability variation on network structures have remained
 poorly investigated, especially in individual-based networks. This
 approach can shed light on individual specialization of resource use and
 how habitat variations shape trophic interactions. 2. To test hypotheses
 related to habitat variability on trophic interactions, we investigated
 seasonal and spatial variation in network structure of four populations of
 the marsupial Gracilinanus agilis in the highly seasonal tropical savannas
 of the Brazilian Cerrado. 3. We evaluated such variation with network
 nestedness and modularity considering both cool-dry and warm-wet seasons,
 and related such variations with food resource availability and habitat
 structure (considered in the present study as environmental variation) in
 four sites of savanna woodland forest. 4. Network analyses showed that
 modularity (but not nestedness) was consistently lower during the cool-dry
 season in all G. agilis populations. Our results indicated that nestedness
 is related to habitat structure, showing that this metric increases in
 sites with thick and spaced trees. On the other hand, modularity was
 positively related to diversity of arthropods and abundance of fruits. 5.
 We propose that the relationship between nestedness and habitat structure
 is an outcome of individual variation in the vertical space and food
 resource use by G. agilis in sites with thick and spaced trees. Moreover,
 individual specialization in resource-rich and population-dense periods
 possibly increased the network modularity of G. agilis. Therefore, our
 study reveals that environment variability considering spatial and
 temporal components is important for shaping network structure of
 populations.

title: Data from: Manipulated sex ratios alter group structure and cooperation in the brown-headed nuthatch

description: A biased adult sex ratio (ASR) can influence cooperative breeding behavior
 if the bias limits mating opportunities for the more abundant sex. We
 tested predictions associated with the ASR-cooperation hypothesis in the
 brown-headed nuthatch (Sitta pusilla). We manipulated ASR by
 cross-fostering known-sex nestlings within 2 large (≥100 ha) experimental
 plots for 5 years using a crossover design where each plot received an
 opposing male- or female-biased treatment for 2 consecutive years. A year
 with no manipulations followed before the bias was reversed on each plot
 for 2 additional years. Variation in ASR (adult males/total adults) was
 pronounced compared to background proportions (0.55) and ranged from a
 female bias in female-biased plots (0.47) to a strong male bias in
 male-biased plots (0.71). Sex ratios during the post-breeding period
 ranged more broadly (0.33 in female-biased plots vs. 0.74 in male-biased
 plots). Territory densities did not change significantly and allowed six
 predictions to be assessed. Consistent with predictions, the prevalence of
 cooperative breeding groups doubled under male-biased treatments and large
 cooperative groups appeared (≥ 2 male helpers vs. the single male helper
 most common prior to the experiment). These changes occurred despite
 increased dispersal of cross-fostered males in male-biased plots. Most
 juvenile females dispersed, but, consistent with predictions, the
 prevalence of female helpers increased under female-biased treatments.
 Manipulations did not alter the sex of nestlings produced nor extend the
 time that males served as helpers. Taken collectively, results support the
 ASR-cooperation hypothesis and the role that mate limitations play in
 cooperative breeding behavior.

title: Data from: Encoding of wind direction by central neurons in Drosophila

description: Wind is a major navigational cue for insects, but how wind direction is
 decoded by central neurons in the insect brain is unknown. Here we find
 that walking flies combine signals from both antennae to orient to wind
 during olfactory search behavior. Movements of single antennae are
 ambiguous with respect to wind direction, but the difference between left
 and right antennal displacements yields a linear code for wind direction
 in azimuth. Second-order mechanosensory neurons share the ambiguous
 responses of a single antenna and receive input primarily from the
 ipsilateral antenna. Finally, we identify novel “wedge projection neurons”
 that integrate signals across the two antennae and receive input from at
 least three classes of second-order neurons to produce a more linear
 representation of wind direction. This study establishes how a feature of
 the sensory environment—wind direction—is decoded by neurons that compare
 information across two sensors.

title: Data from: The species richness pattern of vascular plants along a tropical elevational gradient and the test of elevational Rapoport's rule depend on different life‐forms and phytogeographic affinities

description: The research about species richness pattern and elevational
 Rapoport's rule (ERR) have been carried out mostly in the temperate
 regions in the recent years and scarcely in the tropical mountains;
 meanwhile, it is unclear whether the ERR is consistent among different
 life‐forms and phytogeographic affinities. Here, we compiled a database of
 plant species of Mount Kenya, a tropical mountain of East Africa, and
 divided these species into twelve groups depending on the life‐form and
 phytogeographic affinity of each species. We inspected the species
 richness pattern of each group along the elevation gradient and also
 tested ERR of each group using Stevens' method. Our results showed
 that species richness of the total species showed a positively skewed
 (hump‐shaped) pattern along the elevation gradient and different
 life‐forms and phytogeographic affinities showed similar hump‐shaped
 patterns as the total species. The average elevation range size of the
 total species and herbaceous species showed increasing patterns along the
 elevation gradient, while lycophytes and ferns, and woody species showed
 an obvious downward trend after peaking in the high elevation regions. We
 concluded that the widely distributed herbaceous species which also have
 broad elevation range sizes are more applicable to ERR, while the narrowly
 distributed woody species with small elevation range sizes occurring in
 the higher elevations could reverse ERR. Therefore, we concluded that the
 ERR is not consistent among different organisms in the same region.

title: Data from: Examining carry‐over effects of winter habitat on breeding phenology and reproductive success in prairie warblers (Setophaga discolor)

description: Winter habitat quality can influence breeding phenology and reproductive
 success of migratory birds. Using stable isotope ratios of carbon (δ13C)
 from bird claws and red blood cells collected in Massachusetts, USA, we
 assessed if winter habitat occupancy carried over to affect prairie
 warbler (Setophaga discolor) breeding arrival dates, body condition upon
 arrival, pairing success, first-egg dates, and reproductive success. In
 two of three years (in 2011 and 2012, but not in 2013), after-second-year
 (ASY) males wintering in drier habitat, as indicated by enriched δ13C
 values, arrived later on the breeding grounds. Based on the North Atlantic
 Oscillation index, there was likely less rainfall in the Caribbean
 wintering grounds during the winters of 2011 and 2012 compared to the
 winter of 2013, suggesting increased winter rainfall in 2013 may have
 diminished the influence of winter habitat occupancy on arrival date. We
 did not find any effects of winter habitat on breeding season phenomena
 for second-year (SY) males or females, but our sample sizes for these
 age/sex classes were relatively low. Although winter habitat quality
 influenced arrival dates of ASY males, there was no evidence that it
 affected reproductive performance, perhaps because of high rates of nest
 depredation in our system. Our study adds to a growing body of research
 that shows the influence of carry-over effects can differ among species
 and within populations, and also can be modulated by other environmental
 conditions. This information enriches our understanding of the role of
 carry-over effects in population limitation for migratory birds.
