title: Raw presence-absence community composition of passerines, rodents, and ants at eastern slope of Mt. Segrila

description: Along the eastern slope of Mt. Segrila, we performed field surveys for
 passerines, rodents, and ants, respectively. The compositional information
 of passerines was collected from 4-10 times’ field observations of 17
 sampling transects (800 m-2,300 m) dating from June 2018/2019 to June
 2020. Field survey on rodents included snap-trapping and field
 observations. Snap-trappings were conducted from nine sampling
 sites with two trapping surveys during early (March-July) and
 late (July-September) wet seasons in 2014. We also conducted three field
 observations as snap-trapping, of which the first and second were carried
 out as snap-trapping, and the third field observation was conducted in
 August 2018. We collected ant species (including three
 unidentified species) from 11 sampling sites during July-August 2009. As
 we found no ant in the highest sampling sites (4,548 m), they were judged
 absent there.
description: Within an approximate 2,500 m altitudinal range along the eastern
 slope of Mt. Segrila, we performed field surveys for these three animal
 groups. The compositional information of passerines was collected from
 4-10 times’ field observations of 17 sampling transects (800 m-2,300 m)
 dating from June 2018/2019 to June 2020 (mean elevations: 2,000 m, 2,300
 m, 2,450 m, 2,550 m, 2,650 m, 2,750 m, 2,850 m, 3,050 m, 3,350 m, 3,450 m,
 3,550 m, 3,850 m, 4,050 m, 4,150 m, 4,250 m, 4,350 m and 4,500 m). The
 passerine dataset contained 116 species of 64 genera and 34 families.
 Field survey on rodents included snap-trapping and field observations.
 Snap-trappings were conducted from nine sampling sites (mean elevations:
 2,000 m, 2,300 m, 2,600 m, 2,900 m, 3,200 m, 3,500 m, 3,800 m, 4,100 m and
 4,400 m) with two trapping surveys during early (March-July) and late
 (July-September) wet seasons in 2014. We also conducted three field
 observations as snap-trapping, of which the first and second were carried
 out as snap-trapping and the third field observation was conducted in
 August 2018. In total, we have collected 14 rodent species, in which two
 species (<i>Sciurotamias davidianus</i> and <em>Marmota
 himalayana</em>) were collected from field observations only. We
 collected 18 ant species (including three unidentified species) from 11
 sampling sites (mean elevations: 2,000 m, 2,250 m, 2,500 m, 2,750 m, 3,000
 m, 3,250 m, 3,500 m, 3,750 m, 4,000 m, 4,250 m, and 4,548 m) during
 July-August 2009. As we found no ant in the highest sampling sites (4,548
 m), they were judged absent there.

title: A deep dive into fat: Investigating blubber lipidomics fingerprint of killer whales and humpback whales in northern Norway

description: In cetaceans, blubber is the primary and largest lipid body reservoir. Our
 current understanding about lipid stores and uses in cetaceans is still
 limited and most studies only focused on a single narrow snapshot of the
 lipidome. We documented an extended lipidomics fingerprint in two cetacean
 species present in northern Norway during wintertime. We were able to
 detect 817 molecular lipid species in blubber of killer whales (Orcinus
 orca) and humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). The profiles were
 largely dominated by triradylglycerols in both species and to a lesser
 extent, by other constituents including glycerophosphocholines,
 phosphosphingolipids, glycerophosphoethanolamines and diradylglycerols.
 Through a unique combination of traditional statistical approaches,
 together with a novel bioinformatics tool (LION/web), we showed
 contrasting fingerprints composition between species. The higher content
 of triradylglycerols in humpback whales is necessary to fuel their
 upcoming half a year fasting and energy-demanding migration between
 feeding and breeding grounds. In adipocytes, we assume that the intense
 feeding rate of humpback whales prior to migration translates into an
 important accumulation of triacylglycerols content in lipid droplets.
 Upstream, the endoplasmic reticulum is operating at full capacity to
 supply acute lipid storage, consistent with the reported enrichment of
 glycerophosphocholines in humpback whales, major components of the
 endoplasmic reticulum. There was also an enrichment of membrane components
 which translates into higher sphingolipids content in the lipidome of
 killer whales, potentially as a structural adaptation for their higher
 hydrodynamic performance. Finally, the presence of both lipid-enriched and
 lipid-depleted individuals within the killer whale population in Norway
 suggests dietary-specialization, consistent with significant differences
 of δ15N and δ13C isotopic ratios in skin between the two groups, with
 higher values and a wider niche for the lipid-enriched individuals.
 Results suggest the lipid-depleted killer whales were herring-specialists,
 while the lipid-enriched individuals might feed on both herrings and
 seals.

title: Data from: Cannabis labelling is associated with genetic variation in terpene synthase genes

description: Genetic data consisting of &gt;100,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms
 (SNPs) collected using genotype-by-sequencing, from 137 drug-type
 Cannabis samples from the Netherlands. This genetic data along with
 terpene and cannabinoid content data collected
 with GC-FID, was used to analyze Cannabis labelling and
 to perfom a genome-wide association study.
description: The DNA sequence data are available as NCBI BioProject
 PRJNA713792. Calling of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was
 performed in TASSEL (version 5.0) by aligning to the CBDRx reference
 genome. The SNP data were filtered using PLINK to exclude SNPs with a MAF
 &lt;0.05 and SNPs with excess heterozygosity. The final SNP data set
 used for GWAS consisted of 116,296 SNPs from 137 samples. For PCA, 1,257
 unanchored SNPs were removed and the remaining 115,039 SNPs were LD-pruned
 using PLINK resulting in 80,939 SNPs.
description: Please note that the chromosomes within these genetic data files are
 numbered based on the old numbering system. The chromosomes will need to
 be re-numbered according to the new chromosome numbering system for the
 CBDRx reference genome that was adopted in 2020 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/assembly/GCF_900626175.2).

title: ‘Dunbar's number’ deconstructed

description: A widespread and popular belief posits that humans possess a cognitive
 capacity that is limited to keeping track of and maintaining stable
 relationships with approximately 150 people. This influential number,
 ‘Dunbar's number’, originates from an extrapolation of a regression
 line describing the relationship between relative neocortex size and group
 size in primates. Here, we test if there is statistical support for this
 idea. Our analyses on complementary datasets using different methods yield
 wildly different numbers. Bayesian and generalized least-squares
 phylogenetic methods generate approximations of average group sizes
 between 69–109 and 16–42, respectively. However, enormous 95% confidence
 intervals (4–520 and 2–336, respectively) imply that specifying any one
 number is futile. A cognitive limit on human group size cannot be derived
 in this manner.

title: Data from: Predictive mapping to identify refuges for plant communities threatened by earthworm invasion

description: 1. Biological invasions by cryptic ecosystem engineers can alter the
 ecological and socio-economic values of ecosystems in ways that may take
 decades to detect. The invasion of North American glacial refuges by
 non-native earthworms offers a prominent but understudied example of a
 cryptic invasion. Non-native earthworms are known to alter carbon
 sequestration, disrupt mycorrhizal networks, and homogenize plant
 communities, but natural resource managers still lack robust protocols to
 identify and safeguard high conservation value communities (HCVCs) from
 such invasions. In the absence of such protocols, or reliable methods to
 eradicate non-native earthworm populations once established, there is an
 urgent need for methods to identify HCVCs at risk of or potentially
 shielded from earthworm invasion by the existence of abiotic barriers to
 their dispersal or persistence in such sites. 2. We developed species
 distribution models (SDMs) using in-situ field surveys and remotely sensed
 data to (1) identify factors limiting the occurrence of non-native
 Lumbricus earthworms in imperiled coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga
 menziesii) forest and Garry oak (Quercus garryana) and maritime meadow
 ecosystems endemic to glacial refugia of the Pacific Northwest of North
 America to (2) evaluate their influence on plant species diversity and
 identify abiotic factors capable of preventing their dispersal or
 persistence at a site. 3. As predicted, shallow, drier soils, and steeper
 terrain limited earthworm occurrence and abundance in our highly
 heterogeneous study area, and earthworm presence appeared to reduce plant
 species richness. Our results indicated that HCVCs endemic to shallow-soil
 (&lt;12 ± 3 cm) sites that experience regular summer drought appear to
 act as refuges from invasion by non-native earthworms. Our results also
 elevate concerns for the conservation of deep-soil habitats not isolated
 from earthworm invasions by shallow soil, saltwater, or other barriers to
 earthworm dispersal. 4. The SDMs developed here offer guidance to the
 identification of potential refuges for the conservation of imperiled
 native species and communities from the detrimental effects non-native
 earthworms in glacial refugia of western North America, and should thereby
 facilitate proactive planning by conservation practitioners.

title: VCF-file for: The effects of GC-biased gene conversion on patterns of genetic diversity among and across butterfly genomes

description: Recombination reshuffles the alleles of a population through crossover and
 gene conversion. These mechanisms have considerable consequences on the
 evolution and maintenance of genetic diversity. Crossover, for example,
 can increase genetic diversity by breaking the linkage between selected
 and nearby neutral variants. Bias in favor of G or C alleles during gene
 conversion may instead promote the fixation of one allele over the other,
 thus decreasing diversity. Mutation bias from G or C to A and T opposes
 GC-biased gene conversion (gBGC). Less recognized is that these two
 processes may when balanced promote genetic diversity. Here we investigate
 how gBGC and mutation bias shape genetic diversity patterns in wood white
 butterflies (Leptidea sp.). This constitutes the first in-depth
 investigation of gBGC in butterflies. Using 60 re-sequenced genomes from
 six populations of three species, we find substantial variation in the
 strength of gBGC across lineages. When modeling the balance of gBGC and
 mutation bias and comparing analytical results with empirical data, we
 reject gBGC as the main determinant of genetic diversity in these
 butterfly species. As alternatives, we consider linked selection and GC
 content. We find evidence that high values of both reduce diversity. We
 also show that the joint effects of gBGC and mutation bias can give rise
 to a diversity pattern which resembles the signature of linked selection.
 Consequently, gBGC should be considered when interpreting the effects of
 linked selection on levels of genetic diversity.
description: The data set consists of SNPs from 10 whole-genome re-sequenced
 males from each of six different populations representing three species of
 wood white butterflies (L. sinapis, L. reali, L. juvernica). The SNPs have
 been filtered for genotype quality and all SNPs located in repetitive
 sequences have been removed.

title: Cell wall thickness and composition are involved in photosynthetic limitation

description: The key role of cell walls in setting mesophyll conductance to
 CO2 (gm) and, consequently, photosynthesis, is reviewed. First,
 the theoretical properties of cell walls that can
 affect gm are presented. Then, we focus on cell wall
 thickness (Tcw) reviewing empirical evidence showing
 that Tcw varies strongly among species and phylogenetic
 groups in a way that correlates with gm and
 photosynthesis i.e. the thicker the mesophyll cell walls, the
 lower gm and photosynthesis. Potential interplays
 of gm, Tcw, dehydration tolerance and hydraulic
 properties of leaves are also discussed. Dynamic variations
 of Tcw in response to the environment and their
 implications in the regulation of photosynthesis are discussed, and recent
 evidence suggesting an influence of cell wall composition
 on gm are presented. We then propose a hypothetical
 mechanism for the influence of cell walls on photosynthesis, combining the
 effects of thickness and composition, particularly pectins. Finally, we
 discuss the prospects for using biotechnology for enhancing photosynthesis
 by means of altering cell wall-related genes.

title: A model of digestive tooth corrosion in lizards: experimental tests and taphonomic implications

description: Abstract Corrosion patterns induced by gastric fluids on the
 skeleton of prey animals may depend on the nature of the corrosive agents
 (acid, enzymes) as well as on the composition of the hard parts and the
 soft tissues that surround them. We propose a framework for predicting and
 interpreting corrosion patterns on lizard teeth, our model system, drawing
 on the different digestive pathways of avian and non-avian vertebrate
 predators. We propose that high-acid, low-enzyme systems (embodied by
 mammalian carnivores) will lead to corrosion of the tooth crowns, whereas
 low-acid, high-enzyme systems (embodied by owls) will lead to corrosion of
 the tooth shafts. We test our model experimentally using artificial
 gastric fluids (with HCl and pepsin) and feeding experiments, and
 phenomenologically using wild-collected owl pellets with lizard remains.
 Finding an association between the predictions and the experimental
 results, we then examine corrosion patterns on nearly 900 fossil lizard
 jaws. Given an appropriate phylogenetic background, our focus on
 physiological rather than taxonomic classes of predators allows the
 extension of the approach into Deep Time.
description: Lizard jaws recovered from carnivore scat, owl pellets, and
 fossil sites were assessed for corrosion damage to crowns and shafts.
 These data were analyzed using cumulative link models and cumulative link
 mixture models, both univariate and multivariate. Other small statistical

title: Hybrid networks reveal contrasting effects of agricultural intensification on antagonistic and mutualistic motifs

description: 1. Anthropogenic-driven perturbations such as agricultural intensification
 can affect simultaneously and distinctly several species groups and
 ecosystem functions. Unveiling these concurrent effects on interdependent
 species groups connected by different types of ecological interactions is
 a key challenge for ecologists. To this endeavor, hybrid ecological
 networks arise as a promising tool. 2. In this study, we used bee trap
 nests to sample hybrid networks that combined mutualistic and antagonistic
 interactions to explore agricultural intensification effects on the
 representation of network motifs (i.e., subnetworks showing different
 interaction types between a small number of species). Also, we assessed
 the variability of network motif’s frequencies on farms under similar
 management regimes and the dissimilarity between farms under different
 ones. For this, we implemented a novel approach, calculating network
 functional spaces based on probability density estimates of network
 motif’s frequencies, using network motifs as traits. 3. Results showed
 that environmentally-friendly practices maximize the representation of
 mutualistic (cavity nesting bees-plants) and predation (wasps-prey and
 bees/wasps-antagonists) motifs. In contrast, intensive agriculture favored
 generalist and intraguild predation interactions. Lastly, the frequency of
 motifs representing antagonistic interactions was more inconsistent and
 unpredictable across sites than mutualistic motifs, especially on
 intensified farms. 4. Our novel approach, dissecting hybrid networks into
 their motifs and analyzing the functional space defined by these, reported
 detailed and contrasting effects of agricultural intensification on
 network motifs that represent the mutualistic and antagonistic
 interactions in this system.
