title: Data from: Pathogen persistence in the environment and insect-baculovirus interactions: disease-density thresholds, epidemic burnout, and insect outbreaks

description: Classical epidemic theory focuses on directly transmitted pathogens, but
 many pathogens are instead transmitted when hosts encounter infectious
 particles. Theory has shown that for such diseases pathogen persistence
 time in the environment can strongly affect disease dynamics, but
 estimates of persistence time, and consequently tests of the theory, are
 extremely rare. We consider the consequences of persistence time for the
 dynamics of the gypsy moth baculovirus, a pathogen transmitted when larvae
 consume foliage contaminated with particles released from infectious
 cadavers. Using field-transmission experiments, we are able to estimate
 persistence time under natural conditions, and inserting our estimates
 into a standard epidemic model suggests that epidemics are likely
 terminated by a combination of pupation and burnout, rather than by
 burnout alone as predicted by theory. Extending our models to allow for
 multiple generations, and including environmental transmission over the
 winter, suggests that the virus may survive over the long term even in the
 absence of complex persistence mechanisms, such as environmental
 reservoirs or covert infections. Our work suggests that estimates of
 persistence times can lead to a deeper understanding of environmentally
 transmitted pathogens, and illustrates the usefulness of experiments that
 are closely tied to mathematical models.

title: Data from: Does nest predation risk affect the frequency of extra-pair paternity in a socially monogamous passerine?

description: While considerable variations in both the frequency of extra-pair
 paternity (EPP) and the behavioral events that produce it are recognized
 among species, populations, individuals, and breeding attempts, the
 determinants of these variations are surprisingly difficult to establish.
 Nest predation may be one such determinant, since it is the most important
 source of reproductive failure, and past studies have suggested a variety
 of reproductive flexibilities under nest predation risk. However, despite
 its potentially significant effect on mating behaviors, nest predation
 risk has rarely been discussed in association with variations in
 intraspecific EPP patterns. Here, we examined the effect of naturally
 occurring nest predation, which varied between sites, years, and breeding
 attempts, on patterns of EPP in 92 broods (132 adults and 710 nestlings)
 of the Japanese great tit Parus major minor. We found that the frequency
 of extra-pair offspring was positively correlated with the nest predation
 rate, along with a correlation to breeding attempts in a season, but not
 with other factors such as individual quality or breeding density. Under
 high nest-predation risk, it may be adaptive for males to search for
 additional extra-pair copulation to spread the risk of losing all
 offspring and to invest less in mate-guarding, which also enables females
 to seek additional extra-mating. The results of this study suggest that
 nest predation risk, among other factors, may significantly influence
 paternity allocation in birds.

title: Data from: Abundance estimation with sightability data: a Bayesian data augmentation approach

description: 1.Steinhorst&Samuel(1989)showedhowlogistic-regressionmodels,fit to
 detection data collected from radiocollaredanimals,can be used to estimate
 and adjust forvisibility bias in wildlife population surveys.Population
 abundance is estimated using a modified Horvitz Thompson(mHT) estimator in
 which counts of observed animal groups are divided by their estimated
 inclusion probabilities (determinedbyplot level sampling probabilities and
 detection probabilities estimated from radiocollaredindividuals).The
 sampling distribution of the mHT estimator is typically right skewed,and
 statistica linference relies on asymptotic theory that may not b
 eappropriate with small samples.2.We develop an alternative, Bayesian
 model based approach which we apply to data collected from moose (Alce
 salces) in Minnesota. We model detection probabilities as a function of
 visual obstruction, informed by data from 124 sightability trials
 involving radiocollared moose.These sightability data,along with counts of
 moose from a stratified random sample of aerial plots,are used to estimate
 moose abundance in2006 and 2007 and the log rate of change between the two
 years. 3.Unlike traditional design-based estimators,model based estimators
 require assumptions regarding stratum specific distributions of the
 detection covariates,the number of animal groups per plot,and the number
 of animals per animal group.We demonstrate numerical and graphical methods
 for assessing the validity of these assumption and compare two different
 models for the distribution of the number of animal groups per plot,a
 beta-binomial model and a logistic-t -model 4.Estimates of the log-rate of
 change (95%CI) between 2006 and 2007
 were-0.21(-0.53,0.12),-0.24(-0.64,0.16),and-0.25(-0.64,0.15) for the
 beta-binomialmodel,logistic-t-model,and mHT estimator,respectively.Plots
 of posterior-predictive distributions and goodness-of-fit measures both
 suggest the beta-binomial model provides a better fit to the data. 5.The
 Bayesian frame work offers many inferential advantages,including the
 ability to incorporate prior information and perform exact inference with
 small samples.More importantly,themodel-based approach provides additional
 flexibility when designing and analyzing multi-year surveys
 (e.g.,rotational sampling designs could be used to focus sampling effort
 in important areas,and random effects could be used to share information
 across years).

title: Data from: Kleptoparasitism and scavenging can stabilize ecosystem dynamics

description: Scavenging is ubiquitous in nature and yet its implications for ecosystem
 dynamics have rarely been investigated. We used camera traps on wolf kills
 to investigate the role of scavenging on predator and multi-prey dynamics
 in a Northern Apennine system (Italy). In contrast to North American
 systems, throughout much of Eurasia, the omnivorous wild boar (Sus scrofa)
 successfully competes with wolves (Canis lupus) for the meat of their
 kills. We developed a deterministic multi-trophic web model (wolf,
 vegetation and two prey species, deer and wild boar), tunable through a
 parameter that governs the impact of prey-sharing between wolves and wild
 boar. When prey-sharing is absent or scarce, populations oscillate, but
 above a threshold value the trophic web is stabilized, with the regime
 solution becoming a fixed stable point. Both deer and wild boar then
 increase as a function of prey-sharing, and the impact of herbivores on
 the vegetation increases. When prey-sharing exceeds another threshold,
 however, the system collapses due to the extinction of both wolves and
 wild boar, but not of deer. Our analysis shows that scavenging is crucial
 for the dynamics of this ecosystem and thus, in general, it should not be
 overlooked in food web modelling. The exploitation of wolf kills by wild
 boar may allow juveniles and yearlings to obtain high quality resources
 that are not usually available, helping the omnivorous wild boar to
 compensate for losses caused by heavy hunting. This is likely to make them
 even more invasive and difficult to control.

title: Data from: Predation, metabolic priming and early life-history rearing environment affect the swimming capabilities of growth hormone transgenic rainbow trout

description: The period of first feeding, when young salmonid fishes emerge from natal
 stream beds, is one fraught with predation risk. Experiments conducted in
 semi-natural stream mesocosms have shown that growth hormone transgenic
 salmonids are at greater risk of predation than their non-transgenic
 siblings, due partly to the higher metabolic demands associated with
 transgenesis, which force risky foraging behaviours. This raises questions
 as to whether there are differences in the swim-performance of transgenic
 and non-transgenic fishes surviving predation experiments. We tested this
 hypothesis in wild-origin rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) that were
 reared from first feeding in semi-natural stream mesocosms characterized
 by complex hydrodynamics, the presence of predators and oligotrophic
 conditions. Using an open-flume raceway, we swam fish and measured their
 capacity for burst-swimming against a sustained flow. We found a
 significant genotype effect on burst-performance, with transgenic fish
 sustaining performance longer than their wild-type siblings, both in
 predator and predator-free stream segments. Importantly, this effect
 occurred before differences in growth were discernable. We also found that
 mesocosm-reared fish had greater burst-performance than fish reared in the
 controlled hatchery environment, despite the latter being unexposed to
 predators and having abundant food. Our results suggest a potential
 interaction between predation and metabolic priming, which leads to
 greater burst capacity in transgenic trout.

title: Data from: Sociality influences cultural complexity

description: Archaeological and ethnohistorical evidence suggests a link between a
 population's size and structure, and the diversity or sophistication
 of its toolkits or technologies. Addressing these patterns, several
 evolutionary models predict that both the size and social
 interconnectedness of populations can contribute to the complexity of its
 cultural repertoire. Some models also predict that a sudden loss of
 sociality or of population will result in subsequent losses of useful
 skills/technologies. Here, we test these predictions with two experiments
 that permit learners to access either one or five models (teachers).
 Experiment 1 demonstrates that naive participants who could observe five
 models, integrate this information and generate increasingly effective
 skills (using an image editing tool) over 10 laboratory generations,
 whereas those with access to only one model show no improvement.
 Experiment 2, which began with a generation of trained experts, shows how
 learners with access to only one model lose skills (in knot-tying) more
 rapidly than those with access to five models. In the final generation of
 both experiments, all participants with access to five models demonstrate
 superior skills to those with access to only one model. These results
 support theoretical predictions linking sociality to cumulative cultural
 evolution.

title: Data from: Testosterone production ability predicts breeding success and tracks breeding stage in male finches

description: Testosterone (T) is an important mediator of reproductive behaviours and
 potential target for selection. However, there are few data relating
 natural variation in T to fitness estimates. Here, we used the GnRH
 challenge (an injection of gonadotropin-releasing hormone which stimulates
 maximal T release), to examine how individual differences in T relate to
 reproductive success and how T changes across date and breeding stage. We
 measured pre- and post-challenge T, in captive male Gouldian finches
 (Erythrura gouldiae), before and after introducing females, and across
 breeding stage. Post-challenge T before introducing females positively
 predicted breeding success. Post-challenge T levels were unrelated to
 date, but strongly related to stage; T production ability was strongly
 attenuated in incubating males. Prechallenge T levels related only to
 date. Our results suggest that T production ability is an important target
 for selection and that when males invest heavily in parental care they
 reduce their sensitivity to GnRH.

 successThis is the complete
 dataset used for all analysis in this paper. Data includes individual bird
 information and testosterone measurements from plasma taken before and

title: Data from: Comparing van Oosterhout and Chybicki-Burczyk methods of estimating null allele frequencies for inbred populations

description: In spite of the usefulness of codominant markers in population genetics,
 the existence of null alleles raises challenging estimation issues in
 natural populations that are characterized by positive inbreeding
 coefficients (F &gt; 0). Disregarding the possibility of F &gt; 0
 in a population will generally lead to overestimates of null allele
 frequencies. Conversely, estimates of inbreeding coefficients (F) may be
 strongly biased upwards (excess homozygotes), in the presence of
 nontrivial frequencies of null alleles. An algorithm has been presented
 for the estimation of null allele frequencies in inbred populations (van
 Oosterhout method), using external estimates of the F-statistics. The goal
 of this study is to introduce a modification of this method and to provide
 a formal comparison with an alternative likelihood-based method
 (Chybicki-Burczyk). Using simulated data, we illustrate the strengths and
 limitations of these competing methods. Under most circumstances, the
 likelihood method is preferable, but for highly inbred organisms, a
 modified van Oosterhout method offers some advantages.

title: Data from: Heterogeneity of ecological patterns, processes and funding of marine manipulative field experiments conducted in Southeastern Pacific coastal ecosystems

description: Ecological manipulative experiments conducted in marine coastal ecosystems
 have substantially improved ecological theory during the last decades, and
 have provided useful knowledge for the management and conservation of
 coastal ecosystems. Although different studies report global trends in
 ecological patterns worldwide, Southeastern Pacific coastal ecosystems
 have been poorly considered. Given that the SE Pacific coast encompasses
 diverse coastal ecosystems, consideration of studies conducted along this
 range can shed light on the heterogeneity of processes regulating coastal
 communities. We reviewed the biotic interactions and habitat type
 considered, as well as the complexity in terms of spatial and temporal
 extent of manipulative field experimental studies conducted along the SE
 Pacific coast from 0°S to 56° S (Ecuador to Chile). We test the effect of
 funding reported by different studies as a main factor limiting
 experimental complexity. From field ecological studies published from 1970
 to 2016, we found that 81 studies were truly manipulative, in which one or
 multiple factors were “manipulated”. Around 77% of these studies were
 located between 21°S to 40°S, and conducted in intertidal rocky habitats.
 An increase in experimental studies was observed between 2010 and 2015,
 especially focused on herbivore-alga interactions, although we found that
 both the temporal and spatial extent of these studies have shown a
 decrease in recent decades. Funding grant amount reported had a positive
 effect on elapsed time of field experiments, but no effect was observed on
 spatial extent or in the biotic interactions considered. Elapsed time of
 experiments was different among the main biotic interactions considered
 i.e. herbivory, predation, and competition. We suggest that to further
 progress in applied ecological knowledge, it will be necessary to consider
 pollution and urbanization processes explicitly using a field experimental
 framework. This information could improve our understanding of how
 ecosystems present along the SE Pacific coast respond to climate change
 and increased levels of human interventions.

title: Data from: Male courtship preference during seasonal sympatry may maintain population divergence

description: Animal migration can lead to a population distribution known as seasonal
 sympatry, in which closely related migrant and resident populations of the
 same species co-occur in sympatry during part of the year, but are
 otherwise allopatric. During seasonal sympatry in early spring, residents
 may initiate reproduction before migrants depart, presenting an
 opportunity for gene flow. Differences in reproductive timing between
 migrant and resident populations may favor residents that exhibit
 preferences for potential mates of similar migratory behavior and
 reproductive timing, thus maintaining population divergence. We studied
 dark-eyed juncos (Junco hyemalis), a songbird that exhibits seasonal
 sympatry. We conducted simulated courtship interactions in which we
 presented free-living resident males with either a caged migrant or
 resident female and quantified courtship behavior prior to the departure
 of the migrants. We found that resident males preferred to court resident
 females: they sang more short-range songs and exhibited more visual
 displays associated with courtship when presented with resident females.
 We conclude that males distinguish between migrant and resident females
 during seasonal sympatry when the risk of interacting with
 non-reproductive, migrant females is high. Male mate choice in seasonal
 sympatry may be adaptive and act to maintain divergence between
 populations with different migratory strategies.
