title: Data from: Selective disappearance of great tits with short telomeres in urban areas

description: Urban environments pose novel challenges, as well as opportunities, for
 urban-dwelling wildlife. Although differences have been reported in
 several phenotypic traits (e.g. morphology, physiology and behaviour)
 between urban and rural populations, it is poorly understood whether this
 affects individual fitness. Telomere dynamics are posited as one possible
 mechanism underlying senescence and mortality. It was recently shown that
 telomere shortening is accelerated when growing up in an urban, compared
 with a rural, environment. However, the implications of accelerated
 telomere attrition for fitness are still unclear. Here, we examine the
 relationship between telomere length (TL) and survival in a bird common to
 urban and rural environments, and during both early and later life. The
 results reveal that TL is a strong predictor of post-fledging survival and
 recruitment in both habitats but, crucially, selective disappearance of
 individuals with short telomeres early in life is more pronounced in the
 urban environment, resulting in a longer average TL among the adult
 population. However, following recruitment, we found no difference in the
 relationship between TL and survival between the urban and rural
 environments. This indicates that the urban environment has negative
 effects in early life, while during later life the benefits could
 potentially outweigh the costs.

title: Data from: Variability in potential to exploit different soil organic phosphorus compounds among tropical montane tree species

description: We hypothesized that tropical plant species with different mycorrhizal
 associations reduce competition for soil phosphorus (P) by specializing to
 exploit different soil organic P compounds. We assayed the activity of
 root/mycorrhizal phosphatase enzymes of four tree species with contrasting
 root symbiotic relationships–arbuscular mycorrhizal (angiosperm and
 conifer), ectomycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal–collected from one of three
 soil sites within a montane tropical forest. We also measured growth and
 foliar P of these seedlings in an experiment with P provided exclusively
 as inorganic orthophosphate, a simple phosphomonoester (glucose
 phosphate), a phosphodiester (RNA), phytate (the sodium salt of
 myo-inositol hexakisphosphate), or a no-P control. The ectomycorrhizal
 tree species expressed twice the phosphomonoesterase activity as the
 arbuscular mycorrhizal tree species, but had similar phosphodiesterase
 activity. The non-mycorrhizal Proteaceae tree had markedly greater
 activity of both enzymes than the mycorrhizal tree species, with root
 clusters expressing greater phosphomonoesterase activity than fine roots.
 Both the mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal tree species contained
 significantly greater foliar P than in no-P controls when limited to
 inorganic phosphate, glucose phosphate, and RNA. The ectomycorrhizal
 species did not perform better than the arbuscular mycorrhizal tree
 species when limited to organic P in any form. In contrast, the
 non-mycorrhizal Proteaceae tree was the only species capable of exploiting
 phytate, with nearly three times the leaf area and more than twice the
 foliar P of the no-P control. Our results suggest that arbuscular and
 ectomycorrhizal tree species exploit similar forms of P, despite
 differences in phosphomonoesterase activity. In contrast, the mycorrhizal
 tree species and non-mycorrhizal Proteaceae appear to differ in their
 ability to exploit phytate. We conclude that resource partitioning of soil
 P plays a coarse but potentially ecologically important role in fostering
 the coexistence of tree species in tropical montane forests.

title: Data from: Recognizing cross-ecosystem responses to changing temperatures: soil warming impacts pelagic food webs

description: The energy and materials that move across ecosystem boundaries influence
 food web structure and key ecosystem functions. Despite the acknowledged
 importance of such ecological subsidies, surprisingly little information
 is available regarding the role of environmental temperature in
 influencing subsidy quality and the response of the recipient ecosystem.
 We evaluated the impacts of temperature-mediated changes in leaves from
 deciduous trees, an important subsidy from terrestrial to freshwater
 ecosystems, on both the producer-based and detritivore-based components of
 a pelagic pond food web in a field mesocosm experiment. We hypothesized
 that variation in leaf chemistry driven by increased soil temperature
 would alter both the quality of leaf subsidies and the pond response. We
 collected red maple Acer rubrum leaves from heated and ambient temperature
 plots from the long-term soil warming experiment at the Harvard
 Experimental Forest and added them to 167-l field mesocosms containing
 established plankton communities, creating ‘no leaf’, ‘ambient leaf’ and
 ‘heated leaf’ treatments during autumn 2012. We then monitored physical,
 chemical, and biological responses to treatments until the mesocosms froze
 six weeks later. Experimental soil warming altered the chemical
 composition of deciduous leaves, the physical and chemical environment of
 the aquatic ecosystems to which leaves were added, and the pelagic pond
 food webs as measured by community composition. Compared to leaves from
 ambient-temperature soils, leaves from warmed soils initially resulted in
 lower water column phosphorus and dissolved organic carbon, reducing
 bacterial densities. However, the diminished carbon and phosphorus
 resulting from soil warming also increased light availability that
 ultimately stimulated cladoceran zooplankton relative to
 ambient-temperature leaves. Our results suggest that changes in
 temperature can alter ecological subsidies in unanticipated ways, and
 suggest that accurately predicting the potential consequences of climate
 change will require conducting research across ecosystem boundaries.

title: Data from: Use of environmental sites by mule deer: a proxy for relative risk of chronic wasting disease exposure and transmission

description: Prions that cause chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids can remain
 infective for years outside the host. Infectious cervids shed prions for a
 long time, consequently depositing prions in frequently used areas. These
 environmental prions are important in CWD epidemiology. Unfortunately,
 effective tools for quantifying CWD prions in soil, water, and other
 environmental sources are not currently available. Our goal was to
 investigate relative differences in visits by mule deer (Odocoileus
 hemionus hemionus) to various environmental site types as an indicator of
 the relative risk of prion contamination and disease transmission. For
 this, we deployed a system of triggered-by-movement cameras at eight site
 types in a CWD-endemic area in Saskatchewan, Canada. We first assessed
 whether the relative differences among site types in the frequency of
 visits by mule deer of any sex-and-age class, males, and females varied by
 season and site type. We then assessed whether the rate of behaviors with
 a high risk of environmental prion transmission (either contamination or
 acquisition) differed by season and site type. Finally, we assessed
 whether the intensity of visitation, based on the number of animals per
 picture, differed by season and site type. We found that grain sources and
 beds were key attractants for mule deer: (1) The greatest number of
 pictures with mule deer per camera-day occurred at grain sources across
 all seasons, except in fawning, when beds were the most visited sites; (2)
 during pre-rut and early gestation, mule deer visited grain sources at
 least twice as often as most other sites; (3) females were more likely to
 visit beds and grain sources, but there was no significant site
 preferences for males after accounting for season; (4) mule deer were most
 likely to be pictured contacting the environment at grain sources in early
 gestation; and (5) beds and grain sources were the most intensively
 visited sites. We also found that environmental contacts at waterholes
 were more frequent during spring. We discuss the potential importance of
 various sites in the transmission of CWD and how their modification could
 potentially reduce the risk of prion environmental exposure among mule
 deer.

title: Data from: Oxidative stress during courtship affects male and female reproductive effort differentially in a wild bird with biparental care

description: Oxidative stress has been suggested as one of the physiological mechanisms
 modulating reproductive effort, including investment in mate choice. Here,
 we evaluated whether oxidative stress influences breeding decisions by
 acting as a cost of or constraint on reproduction in the brown booby (Sula
 leucogaster), a long-lived seabird with prolonged biparental care. We
 found that during courtship, levels of lipid peroxidation (LP) of males
 and females were positively associated with gular skin color, a trait
 presumably used in mate choice, while levels of reactive oxygen species
 (ROS) were higher as laying approached and in early breeding pairs.
 Evidence of a constraining effect of oxidative stress for females was
 suggested by the fact that females with higher ROS during courtship laid
 smaller first eggs and had chicks with lower rates of body mass gain, and
 higher female LP was associated with lower offspring attendance time. No
 evidence of an oxidative cost of parental effort was found; from courtship
 to parental care male and female' ROS decreased, and changes in LP
 levels were non-significant. Finally, using a cross-fostering experiment
 we found that offspring ROS was unrelated to rearing and genetic
 parents' ROS. Interestingly, offspring LP was positively associated
 with the LP during courtship of both the rearing parents and the genetic
 father, suggesting that offspring LP might have both a genetic and an
 environmental component. Hence, in the brown booby oxidative stress may be
 a cost of investment in reproductive traits before egg laying and
 constrain females' investment in eggs and parental care.

title: Data from: Mate sampling and choosiness in the sand goby

description: To date, mate choice studies have mostly focused on establishing which
 mates are chosen or how the choices are performed. Here, we combined these
 two approaches by empirically testing how latency to mate is affected by
 various search costs, variation in mate quality and female quality in the
 sand goby (Pomatoschistus minutus). Our results show that females adjust
 their mating behaviour according to the costs and benefits of the choice
 situation. Specifically, they mated sooner when access to males was
 delayed and when the presence of other females presented a mate sampling
 cost. We also found a positive link between size variation among potential
 mating partners and spawning delay in some (but not all) experimental
 conditions. By contrast, we did not find the number of available males or
 the females' own body size (‘quality’) to affect mating latency.
 Finally, female mating behaviour varied significantly between years. These
 findings are notable for demonstrating that (i) mate sampling time is
 particularly sensitive to costs and, to a lesser degree, to variation
 among mate candidates, (ii) females' mating behaviour is sensitive to
 qualitative rather than to quantitative variation in their environment,
 and (iii) a snapshot view may describe mate sampling behaviour unreliably.

title: Data from: Phenotypic selection and covariation in the life‐history traits of elephant seals: heavier offspring gain a double selective advantage

description: Early developmental conditions contribute to individual heterogeneity of
 both phenotypic traits and fitness components, ultimately affecting
 population dynamics. Although the demographic consequences of ontogenic
 growth are best quantified using an integrated measure of fitness, most
 analyses to date have instead studied individual fitness components in
 isolation. Here, wWe estimated phenotypic selection on weaning mass in
 female southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) by analyzing
 individual-based data collected between 1986 and 2016 with
 capture-recapture and matrix projection models. In support of a hypothesis
 predicting a gradual decrease of weaning mass effects with time since
 weaning (the replacement hypothesis), we found that the estimated effects
 of weaning mass on future survival and recruitment probability was of
 intermediate duration (rather than transient or permanent). Heavier female
 offspring had improved odds of survival in early life and a higher
 probability to recruit at an early age. The positive link between weaning
 mass and recruitment age is noteworthy, considering that pre-recruitment
 mortality already imposed a strong selective filter on the population,
 leaving only the most ‘robust’ individuals to reproduce. The selection
 gradient on asymptotic population growth rate, a measure of mean absolute
 fitness, was weaker than selection on first-year survival and recruitment
 probabilities. Weaker selection on mean fitness occurs because weaning
 mass has little impact on adult survival, the fitness component to which
 the growth of long-lived species is most sensitive. These results
 highlight the need to interpret individual variation in phenotypic traits
 in a context that considers the demographic pathways between the trait and
 an inclusive proxy of individual fitness. Although variation in weaning
 mass do not translate to permanent survival differences among individuals
 in adulthood, it explains heterogeneity and positive covariation between
 survival and breeding in early life, which contribute to
 between-individual variation in fitness.
