title: Data from: Polymorphism and division of labour in a socially complex ant: neuromodulation of aggression in the Australian weaver ant, Oecophylla smaragdina

description: Complex social structure in eusocial insects can involve worker
 morphological and behavioural differentiation. Neuroanatomical variation
 may underscore worker division of labour, but the regulatory mechanisms of
 size-based task specialization in polymorphic species are unknown. The
 Australian weaver ant, Oecophylla smaragdina, exhibits worker polyphenism:
 larger major workers aggressively defend arboreal territories, whereas
 smaller minors nurse brood. Here, we demonstrate that octopamine (OA)
 modulates worker size-related aggression in O. smaragdina. We found that
 the brains of majors had significantly higher titres of OA than those of
 minors and that OA was positively and specifically correlated with the
 frequency of aggressive responses to non-nestmates, a key component of
 territorial defence. Pharmacological manipulations that effectively
 switched OA action in major and minor worker brains reversed levels of
 aggression characteristic of each worker size class. Results suggest that
 altering OA action is sufficient to produce differences in aggression
 characteristic of size-related social roles. Neuromodulators therefore may
 generate variation in responsiveness to task-related stimuli associated
 with worker size differentiation and collateral behavioural
 specializations, a significant component of division of labour in complex
 social systems.

title: Data from: The effect of agriculture on the seasonal dynamics and functional diversity of benthic biofilm in tropical headwater streams

description: Tropical streams are one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world
 due to the constant pressures from human activities. Among these
 activities, agriculture represents a land use that is crucial for human
 development but also a key driver of stream degradation and biodiversity
 decline in the tropics. Against this background, we investigated indirect
 effects of agriculture (alterations in stream flow and nutrient
 availability) and climate characteristics (water temperature) on benthic
 biofilm communities in tropical streams (São Paulo State, Brazil). Three
 first-order streams draining catchments dominated by agricultural land use
 (sugarcane for bioenergy production, pasture) with some remaining riparian
 forest were studied for one year. We focused on the relationships of
 benthic biofilm biomass, algal biomass, diatom community and functional
 structure with streamflow dynamics, nitrate concentrations and water
 temperature. Our results indicate that these biological responses were
 mainly mediated by flow and water temperature and not by resource
 availability in the studied headwater streams. This result could be
 explained by the heavy rains and elevated runoff generation in these
 tropical catchments under agricultural influence, which might override the
 known effects of nutrient enrichment on benthic biofilm communities.
 Considering forecast climate and land-use changes in tropical streams, our
 findings may suggest potential shifts in benthic biofilm communities, with
 functional consequences for aquatic food webs in these environments.

title: Data from: Large-scale oceanographic fluctuations drive Antarctic petrel survival and reproduction

description: Polar Regions are experiencing environmental changes at unprecedented
 rates. These changes can spread throughout entire food webs from lower
 trophic levels to apex predators. As many top predators forage over large
 areas, these indirect effects may be associated with large-scale patterns
 of climate variability. Using global climate indices that are known to
 impact the Southern Ocean ecosystem (the El Niño Southern Oscillation and
 Antarctic Oscillation Indices) we assessed their efficacy to predict
 variation in the demographic parameters of Antarctic seabirds. First, we
 used a long-term dataset on adult survival (estimated from
 capture-mark-recapture data) and reproduction of Antarctic petrel
 Thalassoica antarctica, from the largest known breeding colony
 (Svarthamaren, Dronning Maud Land) and examined whether large-scale
 oceanographic fluctuations impact survival and reproduction. Second, we
 conducted an exhaustive literature review to determine whether the effects
 of large-scale environmental variability on Antarctic seabirds have a
 coherent fingerprint across the Antarctic continent and nearby islands. We
 found that most of the variation in both reproductive success, timing of
 hatching, and survival of Antarctic petrels can be accurately modeled
 using the two modes of large-scale climate variability in Antarctica. The
 literature review, combined with the results from our field study,
 suggests that while the anticipated trends in the global patterns of
 climatic variability will generally have detrimental effects on
 populations of top predators in the Southwest Atlantic, these conclusions
 cannot be extrapolated to all seabird populations in Antarctica without
 additional data.

title: Data from: Distribution and drift dispersal dynamics of a caddisfly grazer in response to resource abundance and its ontogeny

description: Stream grazers have a major impact on food web structure and the
 productivity of stream ecosystems; however, studies on the longitudinal
 (upstream versus downstream) and temporal changes in their drift dynamics
 and resulting distributions remain limited. Here, we investigated the
 longitudinal and temporal distributions and drift propensity of a
 trichopteran grazer, the caddisfly, Micrasema quadriloba, during its life
 cycle in a Japanese stream. The distribution of larvae significantly
 shifted downstream during the fifth instar larval stage during late
 winter; with periphyton abundance (i.e. their food source) showing similar
 shifts downstream. Therefore, our results show that the drift dispersal
 the caddisfly occurs in response to decline in available food resources
 (i.e. food-resource scarcity) and an increase in food requirements by
 growing individuals. Furthermore, our results show that this observed
 longitudinal shift in larval distribution varies through their life cycle,
 because the drift dispersal of fifth instar larvae was greater than that
 of immature larvae. The correlation between periphyton abundance and drift
 propensity of fourth instar larvae was not statistically significant,
 whereas that of fifth instar larvae was significantly negative. In
 conclusion, we detected an ontogenetic shift in drift propensity, which
 might explain the longitudinal and temporal distributions of this species.

title: Data from: Fear of predation shapes social network structure and the acquisition of foraging information in guppy shoals

description: Spatio-temporal variation in predation risk is predicted to select for
 plastic anti-predator responses, which may in turn impact the fine-scale
 social structure of prey groups and processes mediated by that structure.
 To test these predictions, we manipulated the ambient predation risk
 experienced by Trinidadian guppy (Poecilia reticulata) groups before
 quantifying their social networks and recording individual latencies to
 approach and solve a novel foraging task. High-risk conditions drove the
 formation of social networks that were more strongly assorted by body size
 than those exposed to low ambient risk and promoted longer durations of
 contact between preferred partners. Additionally, high background
 predation risk reduced the probability individuals would approach and
 solve a novel foraging task. Network-based diffusion analysis revealed
 that while social transmission of the task solution from knowledgeable to
 naive individuals occurred at a higher rate within low-risk groups,
 individuals in high-risk groups were particularly likely to investigate
 the task while shoaling with preferred social partners. Taken together,
 our results suggest that the structure and functional importance of prey
 social networks may partly depend on local predation pressure.
 Furthermore, by influencing individuals' access to information, fear
 of predation may impact decision-making in a potentially wide array of
 behavioural contexts.

title: Data from: Stimulation of the salicylic acid pathway aboveground recruits entomopathogenic nematodes belowground

description: Plant defense pathways play a critical role in mediating tritrophic
 interactions between plants, herbivores, and natural enemies. While the
 impact of plant defense pathway stimulation on natural enemies has been
 extensively explored aboveground, belowground ramifications of plant
 defense pathway stimulation are equally important in regulating
 subterranean pests and still require more attention. Here we investigate
 the effect of aboveground stimulation of the salicylic acid pathway
 through foliar application of the elicitor methyl salicylate on
 belowground recruitment of the entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema
 diaprepesi. Also, we implicate a specific root-derived volatile that
 attracts S. diaprepesi belowground following aboveground plant stimulation
 by an elicitor. In four-choice olfactometer assays, citrus plants treated
 with foliar applications of methyl salicylate recruited S. diaprepesi in
 the absence of weevil feeding as compared with negative controls.
 Additionally, analysis of root volatile profiles of citrus plants
 receiving foliar application of methyl salicylate revealed production of
 d-limonene, which was absent in negative controls. The entomopathogenic
 nematode S. diaprepesi was recruited to d-limonene in two-choice
 olfactometer trials. These results reinforce the critical role of plant
 defense pathways in mediating tritrophic interactions, suggest a broad
 role for plant defense pathway signaling belowground, and hint at
 sophisticated plant responses to pest complexes.

title: Data from: Handover training for medical students – a controlled educational trial of a pilot curriculum

description: Background: Handovers are a critical point of patient care and a
 significant source of adverse events. The WHO patient safety curriculum
 provides some structure for handover teaching; in Europe, there is no
 standardized curriculum for undergraduate handover training. To address
 this, the Aachen Interdisciplinary Training Centre for Medical Education,
 developed and established a pilot curriculum for handover training in the
 context of the EU-funded PATIENT-project Objective: To develop and
 implement a handover curriculum for medical students and to assess its
 effect on students’ awareness, confidence and knowledge regarding patient
 safety and handover in multiple settings. Methods: The pilot handover
 training curriculum was designed following Kern´s principles of curriculum
 development and was integrated into a curricular course led by departments
 for anesthesiology and intensive care (AI) at the University Hospital. A
 controlled educational research study was conducted with 4th year medical
 students (n=147) who either received the standard existing curriculum (no
 teaching of handover, n=78) or the pilot handover training (n=69).
 Paper-based questionnaires regarding attitude, confidence and knowledge
 towards handover and patient safety were used for pre- and
 post-assessment. The pilot curriculum consisted of 3 units (1-2 hours
 each) integrated into a 4-week course of AI. Multiple types of handover
 (end-of-shift, operating room/post anesthesia recovery unit/ICU,
 telephone, discharge) were addressed. Results: Students showed a
 significant increase in knowledge (p&lt;0.01) and self-confidence for
 the use of standardized handover tools (p&lt;0.01) and accurate
 handover performance (p&lt;0.01) among the pilot group.
 Discussion/Conclusion: We developed and implemented a pilot curriculum for
 undergraduate handover training. Students displayed a significant increase
 in knowledge and self-confidence for the use of standardized handover
 tools and accurate handover performance. An evaluation of the curriculum
 by other faculties is needed. Further studies should evaluate whether the
 observed effect of a specific handover strategy is associated with a
 patient benefit.

title: Data from: Elevated carbon dioxide alters the plasma composition and behaviour of a shark

description: Increased carbon emissions from fossil fuels are increasing the pCO2 of
 the ocean surface waters in a process called ocean acidification. Elevated
 water pCO2 can induce physiological and behavioural effects in teleost
 fishes, although there appear to be large differences in sensitivity
 between species. There is currently no information available on the
 possible responses to future ocean acidification in elasmobranch fishes.
 We exposed small-spotted catsharks (Scyliorhinus canicula) to either
 control conditions or a year 2100 scenario of 990 μatm pCO2 for four
 weeks. We did not detect treatment effects on growth, resting metabolic
 rate, aerobic scope, skin denticle ultrastructure or skin denticle
 morphology. However, we found that the elevated pCO2 group buffered
 internal acidosis via HCO3- accumulation with an associated increase in
 Na+, indicating that the blood chemistry remained altered despite the long
 acclimation period. The elevated pCO2 group also exhibited a shift in
 their nocturnal swimming pattern from a pattern of many starts and stops
 to more continuous swimming. Although CO2-exposed teleost fishes can
 display reduced behavioural asymmetry (lateralization), the CO2-exposed
 sharks showed increased lateralization. These behavioural effects may
 suggest that elasmobranch neurophysiology is affected by CO2, as in some
 teleosts, or that the sharks detect CO2 as a constant stressor, which
 leads to altered behaviour. The potential direct effects of ocean
 acidification should henceforth be considered when assessing future
 anthropogenic effects on sharks.

title: Data from: Pollen flow in fragmented landscapes maintains genetic diversity following stand-replacing disturbance in a neotropical pioneer tree, Vochysia ferruginea Mart.

description: In forests with gap disturbance regimes, pioneer tree regeneration is
 typically abundant following stand-replacing disturbances, whether natural
 or anthropogenic. Differences in pioneer tree density linked to
 disturbance regime can influence pollinator behaviour and impact on mating
 patterns and genetic diversity of pioneer populations. Such mating pattern
 shifts can manifest as higher selfing rates and lower pollen diversity in
 old growth forest populations. In secondary forest, where more closely
 related pollen donors occur, an increase in biparental inbreeding is a
 potential problem. Here, we investigate the consequences of secondary
 forest colonisation on the mating patterns and genetic diversity of
 open-pollinated progeny arrays for the long-lived, self-compatible pioneer
 tree, Vochysia ferruginea, at two Costa Rican sites. Five microsatellite
 loci were screened across adult and seed cohorts from old growth forest
 with lower density, secondary forest with higher density, and isolated
 individual trees in pasture. Progeny from both old growth and secondary
 forest contexts were predominantly outcrossed (tm=1.00) and experienced
 low levels of biparental inbreeding (tm−ts=0.00–0.04). In contrast to
 predictions, our results indicated that the mating patterns of V.
 ferruginea are relatively robust to density differences between old growth
 and secondary forest stands. In addition, we observed that pollen-mediated
 gene flow possibly maintained the genetic diversity of open-pollinated
 progeny arrays in stands of secondary forest adults. As part of a natural
 resource management strategy, we suggest that primary forest remnants
 should be prioritised for conservation to promote restoration of genetic
 diversity during forest regeneration.

title: Data from: Inbreeding depression in pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) fawns

description: Although inbreeding depression affects survival, fitness and population
 viability, the extent of inbreeding depression in wild populations remains
 unclear. We examined inbreeding depression in the small, isolated National
 Bison Range (NBR), MT, pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) population
 following a bottleneck. We have studied the NBR pronghorn extensively
 since 1981, and we have detailed birth, survival and mate choice data. We
 genotyped all animals in the population between 1999-2010 at 19
 microsatellite loci, assigned paternities to all fawns based on genotype,
 and constructed a genetic-based pedigree to calculate inbreeding
 coefficients (f). We found an increase in the frequency of inbreeding
 following the bottleneck. We detected evidence of inbreeding depression on
 fawn survival to weaning, birth mass, foot length and condition. We
 estimated the number of diploid lethal equivalents on survival to weaning
 as 24.17 - 28.72. Standardized heterozygosity (H) had a relatively small
 influence on survival, mass, length and condition compared to f; and H was
 not correlated with f. We conclude that for pronghorn, H was not a good
 predictor of pedigree-estimates of f.

title: Data from: Spatial and temporal diversity in hyperparasitoid communities of Cotesia glomerata on garlic mustard, Alliaria petiolata

description: 1. Interactions between two trophic levels can be very intimate, often
 making species dependent on each other, something that increases with
 specialisation. Some specialised multivoltine herbivores may depend on
 multiple plant species for their survival over the course of a growing
 season, especially if their food plants are short‐lived and grow at
 different times. Later generations may exploit different plant species
 from those exploited by previous generations. 2. Multivoltine parasitoids
 as well as their natural enemies must also find their hosts on different
 food plants in different habitats across the season. Secondary
 hyperparasitoid communities have been studied on cocoons of the primary
 parasitoid, Cotesia glomerata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), on black mustard
 (Brassica nigra) – a major food plant of its host, the large cabbage white
 (Pieris brassicae) – which grows in mid‐summer. 3. Here, hyperparasitoid
 communities on C. glomerata pupal clusters were studied on an early‐season
 host, garlic mustard, Alliaria petiolata, over ‘time’ (one season,
 April–July) in six closely located ‘populations’ (c. 2 km apart), and
 within two different ‘areas’ at greater separation (c. 100 km apart). At
 the plant level, spatial effects of pupal ‘location’ (canopy or bottom) on
 the plant were tested. 4. Although large‐scale separation (area) did not
 influence hyperparasitism, sampling time and small‐scale separation
 (population) affected hyperparasitism levels and composition of
 hyperparasitoid communities. Location on the plant strongly increased
 proportions of winged species in the canopy and proportions of wingless
 species in bottom‐located pupae. 5. These results show that
 hyperparasitism varies considerably at the local level, but that
 differences in hyperparasitoid communities do not increase with spatial
 distance.
