title: Mass ratio effects underlie ecosystem responses to environmental change

description: 1. Random species loss has been shown experimentally to reduce ecosystem
 function, sometimes more than other anthropogenic environmental changes.
 Yet, controversy surrounds the importance of this finding for natural
 systems where species loss is non-random. 2. We compiled data from 16
 multi-year experiments located at a single site in native tallgrass
 prairie. These experiments included responses to 11 anthropogenic
 environmental changes, as well as non-random biodiversity loss - either
 the removal of uncommon/rare plant species or the most common (dominant)
 species. 3. As predicted by the mass ratio hypothesis, loss of a dominant
 species had large impacts on productivity that were comparable to other
 anthropogenic drivers. In contrast, the loss of uncommon/rare species had
 small effects on productivity despite having the largest effects on
 species richness. 4. The anthropogenic drivers that had the largest
 effects on productivity – nitrogen, irrigation, and fire – experienced not
 only loss of species but also significant changes in the abundance and
 identity of dominant species. 5. Synthesis. These results suggest that
 mass ratio effects rather than species loss per se is an important
 determinant of ecosystem function with environmental change.

title: Structure and distribution of chalky deposits in the Pacific oyster using x-ray computed tomography (CT)

description: Oysters are unusual among bivalves in that they possess chambers, often
 filled with soft, chalky calcite, that are irregularly scattered
 throughout the shell. Because the function of these so-called chalky
 deposits is still unclear, evaluating the growth and distribution of chalk
 is important for elucidating the ecological function of this unique shell
 trait. Specimens of the Pacific oyster Magallana gigas, an oyster well
 known for chalk expression, were grown in Bodega Harbor, Bodega Bay, CA.
 At the end of an 11 month growing period, specimens were culled and
 selected animals were submitted for x-ray computed-tomography (CT)
 imaging. Three-dimensional reconstructions of oyster shells were used to
 assess the overall distribution of chalk, and also to better understand
 the relationship between chalk and other structures within the shell.
 Results indicate that chalky deposits underly sculptural features on the
 shell exterior, such as external ridges and changes in growth direction,
 and also that there is a relationship between chalk formation and oyster
 processes of cementation. Overall, chalk is useful for a cementing
 lifestyle because it enables morphological plasticity needed to conform to
 irregular substrates, but also acts as a cheap building material to
 facilitate rapid growth.

title: Classification of Type 2 Diabetes Genetic Variants and a Novel Genetic Risk Score Association with Insulin Clearance

description: Abstract Context Genome-wide association studies have identified
 &gt;450 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for type 2 diabetes
 (T2D). Objective To facilitate use of these SNPs in future genetic risk
 score (GRS)-based analyses, we aimed to classify the SNPs based on
 physiology. We also sought to validate GRS associations with
 insulin-related traits in deeply-phenotyped Mexican Americans. Design,
 Setting, and Participants 457 T2D SNPs from the literature were assigned
 physiologic function based on association studies and cluster analyses.
 All SNPs (All-GRS), beta-cell (BC-GRS), insulin resistance (IR-GRS),
 lipodystrophy (Lipo-GRS), and body mass index plus lipids (B+L-GRS) were
 evaluated for association with diabetes and indexes of insulin secretion
 (from oral glucose tolerance test), insulin sensitivity and insulin
 clearance (from euglycemic clamp), and adiposity and lipid markers in
 1,587 Mexican Americans. Results Of the 457 SNPs, 52 were classified as
 BC, 30 as IR, 12 as Lipo, 12 as B+L, while physiologic function of 351 was
 undefined. All-GRS was strongly associated with T2D. Among the
 non-diabetic Mexican-Americans, BC-GRS was associated with reduced
 insulinogenic index, IR-GRS was associated with reduced insulin
 sensitivity, and Lipo-GRS was associated with reduced adiposity. B+L-GRS
 was associated with increased insulin clearance. The latter did not
 replicate in an independent cohort wherein insulin clearance was assessed
 by a different method. Conclusions Supporting their utility, BC-GRS,
 IR-GRS, and Lipo-GRS, based on SNPs discovered largely in Europeans,
 exhibited expected associations in Mexican Americans. The novel
 association of B+L-GRS with insulin clearance suggests that impaired
 ability to reduce insulin clearance in compensation for insulin resistance
 may play a role in the pathogenesis of T2D. Whether this applies to other
 ethnic groups remains to be determined.

title: Data from: Influence of the slight adjustment of oxides on the structural and physico-chemical properties of thin film transistor-liquid crystal display substrate glass

description: By the slight adjustment of oxides constituting TFT-LCD substrate glass,
 including equal mole fraction substitution of Al2O3,GeO2 , B2O3, P2O5 and
 ZrO2 for SiO2, as well as the substitution of CaO for SrO with the total
 contents unchanged, the structural and physicochemical properties of
 glasses were investigated by Raman spectroscopy and other measurements.
 The results showed that the short-range disorder brought by the
 substitution of GeO2, B2O3 and P2O5 for SiO2 could weaken the stability
 and compactness of glass network, and the physicochemical properties
 deterioated. While the process of glass melting would become easier
 accordingly. The short-range disorder by the substitution of ZrO2 for SiO2
 with 1% mole fraction showed a little difference with other samples.
 Finally, the substitution of modified cations, such as CaO and SrO, showed
 a smaller variation compared with the substitution of network formers. On
 the condition of 1% mole fraction substitution of oxides investigated,the
 variations of samples showed a reasonable change and the performances
 basically all satisfied for the use of TFT-LCD substrate.

title: The data needed in main document and environmental parameters

description: Excessive grazing leads to degradation of the structure and functions of
 grassland ecosystems, including the loss of species with unique functional
 attributes. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss the species diversity of
 grasslands at different grazing degradation stages and the functional
 diversity carried by these species. We examined the species diversity and
 functional diversity, which were calculated based on the plant functional
 traits, in grasslands at four stages of degradation (undegraded, slightly
 degraded, moderately degraded, and intensely degraded) in the Xilin River
 Basin, Inner Mongolia, China. We analyzed connections of plant functional
 traits, species diversity, and functional diversity with the grazing
 gradient, as well as the relationship between species diversity and
 functional diversity. Our results showed that (i) different plant
 functional traits have different trends along the degradation gradient.
 With the intensification of grassland degradation, the plant species in
 the community gradually change from those with low nutrient utilization
 efficiencies, high metabolic rates, and low resistance to forage to those
 with high nutrient utilization efficiencies, low metabolic rates, and high
 resistance to forage. (ii) The species diversity indices (species
 richness, Shannon–Weaver index) rise significantly with the degradation
 gradient, and the rate of species transformation in the community
 increases with the degree of grassland degradation. (iii) There is a
 significant positive correlation between species diversity and functional
 diversity, and as the species diversity increases, the increase in
 functional diversity gradually slows down. (ⅳ) The large species diversity
 and low functional richness in degradation community revealed the fact
 that although grassland degradation increases species richness, it still
 releases niche space. The changes in grassland species diversity driven by
 human activities will enable us to better understand the rationality of
 human use and provide a theoretical basis for the more scientific use of
 grassland resources.

title: Data from: Invertebrate phenology modulates the effect of the leaf economics spectrum on litter decomposition rate across 41 subtropical woody plant species

description: Litter quality and decomposers are critical
 to carbon and nutrient cycling through litter
 decomposition. However, how relationships between litter
 quality and invertebrate detritivores change litter mass
 loss through time is poorly known. Species’
 initial leaf litter quality, as a legacy of their position on the “leaf
 economics spectrum” (LES), may determine the invertebrate contribution to
 litter mass loss. This contribution may change through time, as both
 population peaks of invertebrate detritivores and litter quality
 of given species will change through time. Here we introduce
 invertebrate phenology into a conceptual model of
 drivers of litter mass loss. We hypothesized that in the
 early decomposition period, LES can predict litter
 decomposability with or without a strong invertebrate contribution,
 i.e., litter with higher nutrient content would decompose faster.
 But in the later decomposition period,
 when higher quality litter will already have decomposed too much
 and lower quality litters have still been less
 degraded, a strong invertebrate peak would coincide with
 relatively more consumption of initially lower quality
 litters; this would lead to a hump-back relationship between leaf
 litter mass loss and initial LES position in
 this period. We tested our hypothesis through a one-year field
 decomposition experiment using leaf litter of 41 woody species in each of
 two sites in subtropical forest in China; only one of these
 sites had a strong late peak of leaf litter-feeding moth larvae
 in the litter layer. LES score of litter species had a
 positive linear relationship with litter mass loss before the key
 invertebrate consumer peaks in the litter layer.
 However, with the invertebrates peaking later into the
 decomposition process, the invertebrate consumption peaked at initially
 lower quality litters, which altered the
 species’ decomposability trajectory on the LES, consistent with
 the hypothesized hump-back relationship between leaf litter mass
 loss and LES. This phenomenon resulted in a strongly reduced
 slope of cumulative mass loss on initial LES score across species. Our
 finding highlights the importance of considering interactions between
 the timing of detritivore activities and the
 timing of litter quality for better understanding the relationships
 between soil animals and ecosystem carbon and nutrient cycling.

title: Macroimmunology: the drivers and consequences of spatial patterns in wildlife immune defense

description: 1. Spatial variation in parasite pressure, abiotic and biotic conditions,
 and anthropogenic factors can all shape immune phenotypes across spatial
 scales. Identifying the most important spatial drivers of immunity could
 help preempt infectious disease risks, especially in the context of how
 large-scale factors such as urbanization affect defense by changing
 environmental conditions. 2. We provide a synthesis of how to apply
 macroecological approaches to the study of ecoimmunology (i.e.,
 macroimmunology). We first review spatial factors that could generate
 spatial variation in defense, highlighting the need for large-scale
 studies that can differentiate competing environmental predictors of
 immunity and detailing contexts where this approach might be favored over
 small-scale experimental studies. We next conduct a systematic review of
 the literature to assess the frequency of spatial studies and to classify
 them according to taxa, immune measures, spatial replication and extent,
 and statistical methods. 3. We review 210 ecoimmunology studies sampling
 multiple host populations. We show that whereas spatial approaches are
 relatively common, spatial replication is generally low and unlikely to
 provide sufficient environmental variation or power to differentiate
 competing spatial hypotheses. We also highlight statistical biases in
 macroimmunology, in that few studies characterize and account for spatial
 dependence statistically, potentially affecting inferences for the
 relationships between environmental conditions and immune defense. 4. We
 use these findings to describe tools from geostatistics and spatial
 modeling that can improve inference about the associations between
 environmental and immunological variation. In particular, we emphasize
 exploratory tools that can guide spatial sampling and highlight the need
 for greater use of mixed-effects models that account for spatial
 variability while also allowing researchers to account for both
 individual- and habitat-level covariates. 5. We lastly discuss future
 research priorities for macroimmunology, including focusing on latitudinal
 gradients, range expansions, and urbanization as being especially amenable
 to spatial approaches. We highlight opportunities posed by assessing
 spatial variation in host tolerance, coupling large-scale field studies
 with small-scale field experiments and longitudinal approaches, and
 applying statistical tools from macroecology and meta-analysis to identify
 generalizable spatial patterns.

title: Data from: Extra-pair mating opportunities mediate parenting and mating effort trade-offs in a songbird

description: In socially monogamous species with bi-parental care, males may face a
 trade-off between providing parental care and pursuing extra-pair matings.
 The “parenting-mating trade-off” hypothesis predicts that high-quality
 males – who have greater potential to gain extra-pair matings, e.g. larger
 males usually win the competition for extra-pair mating – should reduce
 parental care and spend more time looking for extra-pair matings. However,
 the trade-off between parenting and mating efforts may be complicated by
 variation in the availability of extra-pair mating opportunities. By using
 field data of hair-crested drongos (Dicrurus hottentottus), a species
 exhibiting bi-parental incubation behavior, collected in central China
 from 2010 to 2017, we tested whether the potential negative relationship
 between male quality and paternal care was dependent on the number of
 nearby fertile females. We found that male drongos mainly seek extra-pair
 matings during the incubation period and high-quality individuals (males
 with longer tarsi) are more likely to sire extra-pair offspring. In
 agreement with the “parenting-mating trade-off” hypothesis, high-quality
 males incubated less by recessing longer between incubation bouts.
 However, this was only the case when sufficient fertile females nearby for
 extra-pair mating opportunities. Females compensated for reduced male
 care, but this was independent of male quality. This suggests that the
 reduction in care by high-quality males might be a direct response to
 extra-pair mating opportunities rather than facilitated by differential
 allocation of females. Our results indicate that individual quality and
 available mating opportunities may shape the optimal trade-off between
 parental care and seeking additional matings for males.
