title: Data from: Thermal acclimation and adaptation across populations in a broadly distributed soil arthropod

description: The relative contributions of phenotypic plasticity and adaptive evolution
 to the respons-es of species to climate change are poorly understood. It
 has been suggested that some species or populations will have to rely on
 their ability to adjust their phenotype rather than on adaptation through
 evolutionary adaptation. 2. We test the extent of intra- and
 inter-population patterns of acclimation and genetic varia-tion in
 multiple traits directly related to environmental tolerance limits in the
 broadly dis-tributed soil dwelling collembolan Orchesella cincta. 3.
 Genetic variation in both dynamic and static assays of thermal tolerance
 was present across seven populations spanning 14° of latitude and both
 heat and cold tolerance were significantly correlated with latitude. Short
 term heat and cold acclimation significantly increased thermal tolerance
 limits across all populations and there was local adaptation for
 acclimation responses for some traits. Furthermore, results showed large
 acclimatiza-tion responses in the field within populations for cold
 tolerance throughout a 13-month period and smaller acclimatization
 responses for heat tolerance. Acclimatization respons-es were correlated
 with microhabitat temperature at the site of collection suggesting that
 plastic responses are highly dynamic and allow organisms to cope with
 changes in tem-perature. 4. Our findings demonstrate small differences in
 upper and lower thermal tolerance limits across populations, but
 substantial local acclimatization effects dictated by microhabitat
 temperatures, and also highlight the limited scope and strong trade-offs
 to respond to in-creasing temperatures. These findings demonstrate the
 need for incorporating infor-mation on species’ ability to respond to
 environmental change using both laboratory and field approaches into
 climate change models.

title: Data from: Morphological and mechanical properties of the human triceps surae aponeuroses taken from elderly cadavers: implications for muscle-tendon interactions

description: The human triceps surae (two gastrocnemii and soleus) has aponeuroses in
 the proximal and distal aspects, the latter of which insert into the
 calcaneus by sharing the common Achilles tendon. These tendinous tissues
 are known to have elasticity and upon muscle contraction the aponeurosis
 is stretched both longitudinally (along the muscle’s line of action) and
 transversely. Higher aponeurosis transverse deformability has been
 documented, but there is a paucity of information on the morphology and
 mechanical properties of human aponeurosis. This study aimed to identify
 morphological and mechanical characteristics of the human triceps surae
 aponeuroses. Twenty-five triceps surae muscle-tendon units were procured
 from 13 human donors (formalin fixed, 6 males, 7 females) aged 67-91
 years. Specimens of aponeuroses were excised from the eight regions
 (posterior and anterior regions of the gastrocnemius medialis and
 lateralis, medial and lateral parts of soleus; proximal, middle, and
 distal sites each, 2-4 cm × 2-4 cm). Aponeurosis thickness was measured
 using a digital caliper. Uniaxial tensile tests were implemented to
 determine the mechanical properties of specimens loaded longitudinally
 (along the muscle’s line of action) and transversely. The aponeurosis
 thickness showed significant differences between muscles and sites, while
 Young’s modulus showed direction-dependent (longitudinal vs. transverse)
 differences within sites. Results show different morphology and mechanical
 properties of aponeuroses between synergist muscles. The reason for
 site-dependent differences in stiffness is due to a reduced aponeurosis
 thickness rather than a reduction in the material property. The
 anisotropic elastic feature (differences between longitudinal and
 transverse directions) of the aponeuroses was more pronounced than
 previous in vivo findings, suggesting inherent material design of the
 aponeurosis that matches three-dimensional contractile behavior of muscle
 fibers.

title: Data from: Spatial synchrony in sub-arctic geometrid moth outbreaks reflects dispersal in larval and adult lifecycle stages

description: 1. Spatial synchrony in population dynamics can be caused by dispersal or
 spatially correlated variation in environmental factors like weather
 (Moran effect). Distinguishing between these mechanisms is challenging for
 natural populations, and the study of dispersal-induced synchrony in
 particular has been dominated by theoretical modelling and laboratory
 experiments. 2. The goal of the present study was to evaluate the evidence
 for dispersal as a cause of meso-scale (distances of tens of kilometers)
 spatial synchrony in natural populations of the two cyclic geometrid moths
 Epirrita autumnata and Operophtera brumata in sub-arctic mountain birch
 forest in northern Norway. 3. To infer the role of dispersal in geometrid
 synchrony, we applied three complementary approaches, namely estimating
 the effect of design-based dispersal barriers (open sea) on synchrony,
 comparing the strength of synchrony between E. autumnata (winged adults)
 and the less dispersive O. brumata (wingless adult females), and relating
 the directionality (anisotropy) of synchrony to the predominant wind
 directions during spring, when geometrid larvae engage in windborne
 dispersal (ballooning). 4. The estimated effect of dispersal barriers on
 synchrony was almost three times stronger for the less dispersive O.
 brumata than E. autumnata. Inter-site synchrony was also weakest for O.
 brumata at all spatial lags. Both observations argue for adult dispersal
 as an important synchronizing mechanism at the spatial scales considered.
 Further, synchrony in both moth species showed distinct anisotropy and was
 most spatially extensive parallel to the east-west axis, coinciding
 closely with the overall dominant wind direction. This argues for a
 synchronizing effect of windborne larval dispersal. Congruent with most
 extensive dispersal along the east-west axis, E. autumnata also showed
 evidence for a travelling wave moving southwards at a speed of 50-80
 km/year. 5. Our results suggest that dispersal processes can leave clear
 signatures in both the strength and directionality of synchrony in field
 populations, and highlight wind-driven dispersal as promising avenue for
 further research on spatial synchrony in natural insect populations.

title: Data from: Ultra-long telomeres shorten with age in nestling great tits but are static in adults and mask attrition of short telomeres

description: Telomere length (TL) is increasingly used as a biomarker of senescence,
 but measuring telomeres remains a challenge. Within tissue samples, TL
 varies between cells and chromosomes. Class I telomeres are (presumably
 static) interstitial telomeric sequences, and terminal telomeres have been
 divided in shorter (Class II) telomeres and ultra-long (Class III)
 telomeres, and the presence of the latter varies strongly between species.
 Class II telomeres typically shorten with age, but little is known of
 Class III telomere dynamics. Using multiple experimental approaches, we
 show great tits to have ultra-long telomeres, and we investigated age
 effects on Class II and III telomeres using a longitudinal approach (our
 method excludes Class I telomeres). In adults, TL averaged over the whole
 distribution did not significantly change with age. However, more detailed
 analyses showed that Class II TL did shorten with age, and, as in other
 species, the longest Class II telomeres within individuals shortened
 faster with age. In contrast, Class III TL did not shorten with age within
 individual adults. Surprisingly, we found the opposite pattern in
 nestlings: Class III TL shortened significantly with age, while the age
 effect on Class II TL was close to zero. Thus, Class III telomere length
 may provide information on developmental history, while Class II telomere
 length provides information on telomere dynamics in adulthood. These
 findings have practical implications for telomere studies and raise the
 interesting question what causes variation in TL dynamics between
 chromosomes within individuals and how this is related to development.

title: Data from: Sex and occupation time influence niche space of a recovering keystone predator

description: Predators exert strong effects on ecological communities, particularly
 when they re-occupy areas after decades of extirpation. Within species,
 such effects can vary over time and by sex, and cascade across trophic
 levels. We used a space-for-time substitution to make foraging
 observations of sea otters (Enhydra lutris) across a gradient of
 re-occupation (1–30 yrs), and nMDS analysis to ask if 1) sea otter niche
 space varies as a function of occupation time, and 2) if niche space
 varies by sex. We found that niche space varied among areas of different
 occupation times. Dietary niches at short occupation times were dominated
 by urchins (Mesocentrotus and Strongylocentrotus spp; &gt; 60 % of
 diets) in open habitats at 10–40 m depths. At longer occupation times
 niches were dominated by small clams (Veneroida; &gt; 30% diet),
 mussels (Mytilus spp; &gt; 20% diet), and crab (Decapoda; &gt; 10%
 diet) in shallow (&lt; 10 m) kelp habitats. Diet diversity was lowest
 (H’ = 1.46) but energy-rich (~37 kcal/min) at the earliest occupied area
 and highest, but energy-poor (H’ = 2.63, ~9 kcal/min) at the longest
 occupied area. A similar transition occurred through time at a recently
 occupied area. We found that niche space also differed between sexes, with
 bachelor males consuming large clams (&gt; 60%), and urchins (~25%)
 from deep waters (&gt; 40 m), and females and territorial males
 consuming smaller, varied prey from shallow waters (&lt; 10 m).
 Bachelor male diets were less diverse (H’ = 2.21) but more energy-rich
 (~27 kcal/min) than territorial males (H’ = 2.54, ~13 kcal/min) and
 females (H’ = 2.74, ~11 kcal/min). Given recovering predators require
 adequate food and space, and the ecological interactions they elicit, we
 emphasize the importance of investigating niche space over the duration of
 recovery, and considering sex-based differences in these interactions.

title: Data from: Minor allele frequency thresholds strongly affect population structure inference with genomic datasets

description: One common method of minimizing errors in large DNA sequence datasets is
 to drop variable sites with a minor allele frequency below some specified
 threshold. Though widespread, this procedure has the potential to alter
 downstream population genetic inferences and has received relatively
 little rigorous analysis. Here we use simulations and an empirical SNP
 dataset to demonstrate the impacts of minor allele frequency (MAF)
 thresholds on inference of population structure. We find that model-based
 inference of population structure is confounded when singletons are
 included in the alignment, and that both model-based and multivariate
 analyses infer less distinct clusters when more stringent MAF cutoffs are
 applied. We propose that this behavior is caused by the combination of a
 drop in the total size of the data matrix and by correlations between
 allele frequencies and mutational age. We recommend a set of best
 practices for applying MAF filters in studies seeking to describe
 population structure with genomic data.

title: Data from: Gender-related behaviors: evidence for a trade-off between sexual functions in a hermaphrodite

description: According to sex allocation theory, hermaphrodites are expected to
 allocate most of their reproductive resources to the female function when
 there is a low level of mate competition and to shift them to the male
 function when mate competition increases: sex allocation theory assumes
 that there is a trade-off between sexual functions. Although several
 studies highlight some adjustments of sex allocation according to mating
 opportunities, empirical support for the trade-off between sexual
 functions is surprisingly scarce. Here we argue that this lack of support
 for a trade-off might partially depend on the fact that sex allocation
 studies often overlook gender-related traits other than gamete production.
 We investigated whether parental care (a putative female behavior) and
 motility (a proxy for mate searching, and a putative male behavior) varied
 plastically according to mating opportunities in the hermaphroditic
 polychaete worm Ophryotrocha diadema. We found that parental care was
 higher under low mating opportunities while motility increased under high
 mating opportunities, and that the two behaviors were negatively
 correlated with each other – i.e. there was a trade-off between them. We
 also observed the behavior of a separate-sex species closely-related to O.
 diadema – Ophryotrocha labronica. We found that males moved more than
 females in the separate-sex species and that mothers performed more
 parental care than fathers in both Ophryotrocha species. Our results
 provide convincing evidence in support of a trade-off between sexual
 functions and highlight the importance of investigating sex-allocation
 adjustments in reproductive traits others than gametes.

title: Data from: Do health beliefs, personality traits, and interpersonal concerns predict TB prevention behavior among Japanese adults?

description: Despite public health measures and health-promotion efforts, the decline
 in tuberculosis (TB) morbidity in Japan has been slow, with a higher TB
 incidence rate relative to those observed in most developed countries.
 Because health behavior depends on multiple factors and is formulated
 within a social context, a theory-driven model would be necessary to
 increase TB prevention behavior. Based upon the Health Belief Model, this
 study examined the effects of health beliefs, personality traits, and
 social factors on TB prevention behavior among Japanese adults. A
 cross-sectional survey was carried out with a nationally representative
 sample (N = 911; 50.9% women; mean age 49.5, SD = 14.1). Path analyses
 gave empirical support for the hypothesized model, suggesting that TB
 prevention behaviors are influenced by not only perceived susceptibility
 to the illness but also social factors such as cues to action and one’s
 concern to benefit others. The findings have implications for research
 examining health communication tailored to individual differences in
 personality and interpersonal concern.

title: Data from: Suction-induced habitat selection in sand bubbler crabs

description: We show that a decapod crustacean, the sand bubbler crab (SBC) Scopimera
 globosa, utilizes suction, which is the tension of moisture in the
 sediment, to select habitats at normal times and at the time of disaster
 events, through a range of controlled laboratory experiments and field
 observations at various sandflats in Japan. When SBCs are released on
 fields with no spatial suction gradient, their direction of movement is
 random. However, the situation clearly changes with increasing suction
 gradients, in which case the SBCs move to suitable zones for burrowing.
 Predictions based on suction–burrowing relationships coupled with the
 knowledge of geophysical state changes induced by suction dynamics are
 consistent with the observed formation of habitats throughout the seasons.
 Such suction-induced habitat selection in SBCs manifest themselves in a
 robust way even following sudden events such as typhoons, where erosion
 and deposition processes distinctly alter the geomorphological profiles,
 as well as the states of suction, yet consistently yielding habitats at
 the newly formed, suitable suction environments. Such suitable suction
 environments cause repeated battles over burrows, with the competition
 rate more than seven times as high as that in a critical suction
 environment for burrowing.

title: Data from: Compensatory mechanisms to climate change in the widely distributed species Silene vulgaris

description: 1. The adaptation of plants to future climatic conditions is crucial for
 their survival. Not surprisingly, phenotypic responses to climate change
 have already been observed in many plant populations. These responses may
 be due to evolutionary adaptive changes or phenotypic plasticity.
 Especially plant species with a wide geographic range are either expected
 to show genetic differentiation in response to differing climate
 conditions or to have a high phenotypic plasticity. 2. We investigated
 phenotypic responses and plasticity as an estimate of the adaptive
 potential in the widespread species Silene vulgaris. In a greenhouse
 experiment, 25 European populations covering a geographic range from the
 Canary Islands to Sweden were exposed to three experimental precipitation
 and two temperature regimes mimicking a possible climate-change scenario
 for central Europe. We hypothesized that southern populations have a
 better performance under high temperature and drought conditions, as they
 are already adapted to a comparable environment. 3. We found that our
 treatments significantly influenced the plants, but did not reveal a
 latitudinal difference in response to climate treatments for most plant
 traits. Only flower number showed a stronger plasticity in northern
 European populations (e.g. Swedish populations) where numbers decreased
 more drastically with increased temperature and decreased precipitation
 treatment. 4. Synthesis. The significant treatment response in S.
 vulgaris, independent of population origin — except for the number of
 flowers produced — suggests a high degree of universal phenotypic
 plasticity in this widely distributed species. This reflects the likely
 adaptation strategy of the species and forms the basis for a successful
 survival strategy during upcoming climatic changes. However, as flower
 number, a strongly fitness related trait, did decrease in northern
 populations under a climate-change scenario, there might be limits to
 adaptation even in this widespread, plastic species.
