title: Data from: Diversification at high latitudes: speciation of buntings in the genus Plectrophenax inferred from mitochondrial and nuclear markers

description: High-latitude diversification is a process characterized by speciation and
 extinction due to climatically driven vicariance and dispersal events.
 McKay's buntings (Plectrophenax hyperboreus) are high-latitude island
 endemic songbirds, and their global range is restricted to Beringia. Snow
 buntings (P. nivalis), their closest relatives, are distributed throughout
 the Holarctic, breeding in available habitat surrounding the island range
 of McKay's buntings. We sequenced 1123 base pairs of mitochondrial
 DNA for 40 individuals of each species and analyzed a total of 913 AFLPs
 for 57 individuals. Both marker types suggested weak but significant
 genetic differentiation. Analysis of sequence data indicated divergence
 occurring when the current breeding range of McKay's buntings was a
 hill on the Beringian steppe (~18,400 to ~73,700 years before present),
 suggesting that snow buntings were restricted to lower latitudes by ice
 sheets. Ancestral effective population size estimates indicate a founder
 event in McKay's buntings followed by an expansion and then a
 reduction in effective size. Rising sea levels and asymmetric
 hybridization from McKay's buntings into the postglacially-colonizing
 population of snow buntings could account for this reduction. Reproductive
 isolation is likely maintained through differential arrival dates on
 breeding grounds and the high breeding density of McKay's buntings.
 This recent, high-latitude divergence best fits a model of founder event
 speciation driven by vicariance and oscillations in habitat due to climate
 change.

title: Data from: A meta-analysis of community response predictability to anthropogenic disturbances.

description: Disturbances often lead to changes in average values of community
 properties; however, disturbances can also affect the predictability of a
 community’s response. We performed a meta-analysis to determine how
 response predictability, defined as among-replicate variance in diversity
 and community abundance, is affected by species removals, species
 invasions, nutrient addition, temperature increase, and habitat
 loss/fragmentation, and we further determined whether response
 predictability differed according to habitat and trophic role. Species
 removals and nutrient addition decreased response predictability, while
 species invasions increased response predictability. In aquatic habitats,
 disturbances generally led to a decrease in response predictability,
 whereas terrestrial habitats showed no overall change in response
 predictability, suggesting that differences in food web and ecosystem
 structure affect how communities respond to disturbance. Producers were
 also more likely to show decreases in response predictability,
 particularly following species removals, highlighting widespread
 destabilizing effects of species loss at the producer level. Overall, our
 results show that whether disturbances cause changes in response
 predictability is highly contingent on disturbance type, habitat, and
 trophic role. The nature of changes in response predictability—for
 example, strong decreases following species invasions and increases
 following species removals—will likely play a major role in how
 communities recover from disturbance.

title: Data from: Correlated evolution of mating system and floral display traits in flowering plants and its implications for the distribution of mating system variation

description: Reduced allocation to structures for pollinator attraction is predicted in
 selfing species. We explored the association between outcrossing and
 floral display in a broad sample of angiosperms. We used the demonstrated
 relationship to test for bias against selfing species in the outcrossing
 rate distribution, the shape of which has relevance for the stability of
 mixed mating. Relationships between outcrossing rate, flower size, flower
 number and floral display, measured as the product of flower size and
 number, were examined using phylogenetically independent contrasts. The
 distribution of floral displays among species in the outcrossing rate
 database was compared with that of a random sample of the same flora. The
 outcrossing rate was positively associated with the product of flower size
 and number; individually, components of display were less strongly related
 to outcrossing. Compared with a random sample, species in the outcrossing
 rate database showed a deficit of small floral display sizes. We found
 broad support for reduced allocation to attraction in selfing species. We
 suggest that covariation between mating systems and total allocation to
 attraction can explain the deviation from expected trade-offs between
 flower size and number. Our results suggest a bias against estimating
 outcrossing rates in the lower half of the distribution, but not
 specifically against highly selfing species.

title: Data from: Combined Support for Wholesale Taxic Atavism in Gavialine Crocodylians

description: Morphological and molecular data sets favor robustly supported,
 contradictory interpretations of crocodylian phylogeny. A longstanding
 perception in the field of systematics is that such significantly
 conflicting data sets should be analyzed separately. Here we utilize a
 combined approach, simultaneous analysis of all relevant character data,
 to summarize common support and to reconcile discrepancies among data
 sets. By conjoining rather than separating incongruent classes of data,
 secondary phylogenetic signals emerge from both molecular and
 morphological character sets and provide solid evidence for a unified
 hypothesis of crocodylian phylogeny. Simultaneous analysis of four gene
 sequences and paleontological data suggest that putative adaptive
 convergences in the jaws of gavialines (gavials) and tomistomines (false
 gavials) offer character support for a grouping of these taxa, making
 Gavialinae an atavistic taxon. Simple new methods for measuring the
 influence of extinct taxa on topological support indicate that in this
 vertebrate order fossils generally stabilize relationships and accentuate
 hidden phylogenetic signals. Remaining inconsistencies in our most
 well-supported tree, including concentrated hierarchical patterns of
 homoplasy and extensive gaps in the fossil record, indicate where future
 work in crocodylian systematics should be directed.

title: Data from: Host resistance and pathogen infectivity in host populations with varying connectivity

description: Theory predicts that hosts and pathogens will evolve higher resistance and
 aggressiveness in systems where populations are spatially connected than
 in situations where populations are isolated and dispersal is more local.
 In a large cross-inoculation experiment we surveyed patterns of host
 resistance and pathogen infectivity in anther-smut diseased Viscaria
 alpina populations from three contrasting areas where populations range
 from continuous, through patchy but spatially connected to highly isolated
 demes. In agreement with theory, isolated populations of V. alpina were
 more susceptible on average than either patchily distributed or continuous
 populations. While increased dispersal in connected systems increases
 disease spread, it may also increase host gene flow and the potential for
 greater host resistance to evolve. In the Viscaria-Microbotryum system,
 pathogen infectivity mirrored patterns of host resistance with strains
 from the isolated populations being the least infective and strains from
 the more resistant continuous populations being the most infective on
 average, suggesting that high resistance selects for high infectivity. To
 our knowledge this study is the first to characterize the impacts of
 varying spatial connectivity on patterns of host resistance and pathogen
 infectivity in a natural system.

title: Data from: Diversity and composition of viral communities: coinfection of barley and cereal yellow dwarf viruses in California grasslands

description: Most species host multiple pathogens, yet field studies rarely examine the
 processes determining pathogen diversity within a single host or the
 effects of coinfection on pathogen dynamics in natural systems.
 Coinfection can affect pathogen transmission and virulence. In turn,
 coinfection can be regulated within hosts by interactions such as
 cross-protective immunity or at broader spatial scales via vector
 distributions. Using a general model, we demonstrate that coinfection by a
 group of vectored pathogens is highest with abundant generalist vectors
 and weak cross-protection and coinfection- induced mortality. Using these
 predictions, we investigate the distribution of five coexisting
 aphid-vectored, viral pathogens (barley and cereal yellow dwarf
 luteoviruses and poleroviruses) in a native perennial grass (Elymus
 glaucus) in both space (700 km) and time (4 years). Observed coinfection
 rates were much higher than expected at random, suggesting that
 within-host processes exerted weak effects on within-host pathogen
 diversity. Covariance among viruses in space and time was highest for
 viral species sharing a vector. Temporal correlation arose from the
 synchronous invasion of two viruses transmitted by a shared aphid species.
 On the basis of our modeling and empirical results, we expect that factors
 external to individual hosts may affect the coinfection dynamics in other
 communities hosting vectored pathogens.

title: Data from: Evolution of divergent female mating preference in response to experimental sexual selection

description: Sexual selection is predicted to drive the coevolution of mating signals
 and preferences (mating traits) within populations, and could play a role
 in speciation if sexual isolation arises due to mating trait divergence
 between populations. However, few studies have demonstrated that
 differences in mating traits between populations result from sexual
 selection alone. Experimental evolution is a promising approach to
 directly examine the action of sexual selection on mating trait divergence
 among populations. We manipulated the opportunity for sexual selection
 (low versus high) in populations of Drosophila pseudoobscura. Previous
 studies on these experimental populations have shown that sexual selection
 manipulation resulted in the divergence between sexual selection
 treatments of several courtship song parameters, including IPI
 (inter-pulse interval) which markedly influences male mating success.
 Here, we measure female preference for IPI using a playback design to test
 for preference divergence between the sexual selection treatments after
 130 generations of experimental sexual selection. The results suggest that
 female preference has coevolved with male signal, in opposite directions
 between the sexual selection treatments, providing direct evidence of the
 ability of sexual selection to drive the divergent coevolution of mating
 traits between populations. We discuss the implications in the context
 sexual selection and speciation.

title: Data from: Fine-scale ecological and genetic population structure of two whitefish (Coregoninae) species in the vicinity of industrial thermal emissions

description: Thermal pollution from industrial processes can have negative impacts on
 the spawning and development of cold-water fish. Point sources of thermal
 effluent may need to be managed to avoid affecting discrete populations.
 Correspondingly, we examined fine-scale ecological and genetic population
 structure of two whitefish species (Coregonus clupeaformis and Prosopium
 cylindraceum) on Lake Huron, Canada, in the immediate vicinity of thermal
 effluent from nuclear power generation. Niche metrics using δ13C and δ15N
 stable isotopes showed high levels of overlap (48.6 to 94.5%) in resource
 use by adult fish captured in areas affected by thermal effluent compared
 to nearby reference locations. Isotopic niche size, a metric of resource
 use diversity, was 1.3- to 2.8-fold higher than reference values in some
 thermally affected areas, indicative of fish mixing. Microsatellite
 analyses of genetic population structure (Fst, STRUCTURE and DAPC)
 indicated that fish captured at all locations in the vicinity of the power
 plant were part of a larger population extending beyond the study area. In
 concert, ecological and genetic markers do not support the presence of an
 evolutionarily significant unit in the vicinity of the power plant. Thus,
 future research should focus on the potential impacts of thermal emissions
 on development and recruitment.

title: Data from: Quantitative genetics of migration syndromes: a study of two barn swallow populations

description: Migration is a complex trait although little is known about genetic
 correlations between traits involved in such migration syndromes. To
 assess migratory responses to climate change, we need information on
 genetic constraints on evolutionary potential of arrival dates in
 migratory birds. Using two long term data sets on barn swallows Hirundo
 rustica (from Spain and Denmark), we show for the first time in wild
 populations that spring arrival dates are phenotypically and genetically
 correlated with morphological and life history traits. In the Danish
 population, length of outermost tail feathers and wing length were
 negatively genetically correlated with arrival date. In the Spanish
 population, we found a negative genetic correlation between arrival date
 and time elapsed between arrival date and laying date, constraining
 response to selection that favours both early arrival and shorter delays.
 This results in a decreased rate of adaptation, not because of constraints
 on arrival date, but constraints on delay before breeding, that is a trait
 that can be equally important in the context of climate change.

title: Data from: A high-efficiency hydrocyclone designed by response surface methodology for acid hydrolysis residue recycling

description: A high-efficiency hydrocyclone was designed by response surface
 methodology to evaluate the recycling of acid hydrolysis residues from
 titanium dioxide (TiO2) production as a study case. TiO2 is an important
 product and the world's best white pigment. During its production
 from ilmenite (FeTiO3) by the sulphuric acid method, the incomplete
 reaction produces large amounts of residue, which also contain unreacted
 ilmenite. Large amounts of residue are generally accumulated without any
 treatment. Hydrocycloneuse is regarded as a method for separating and
 recovering chemicals from process residues by which the unreacted
 components can be recycled efficiently. However, hydrocyclones designed by
 conventional procedures may have some limitations regarding classification
 sharpness. In this paper, numerical experiments and laboratory tests were
 performed to evaluate the classification sharpness of various hydrocyclone
 designs. Response surface methodology was used to optimize hydrocyclones
 with different structural configurations. Based on the response models, a
 designed hydrocyclone with a high sharpness of classification of particles
 was constructed. The sharpness of the newly designed hydrocyclone
 increased from 80.5 % to 93.3 %. The vortex finder separated approximately
 89.9 % of the fine particles in impurities, while 51.0 % of TiO2was
 recycled by the spigot. The hydrocyclone proposed in this paper properly
 minimizes the risk of environmental pollution caused by TiO2 production
 and provides a significant estimated cost savings.

title: Data from: Moth tails divert bat attack: evolution of acoustic deflection

description: Adaptations to divert the attacks of visually guided predators have
 evolved repeatedly in animals. Using high-speed infrared videography, we
 show that luna moths (Actias luna) generate an acoustic diversion with
 spinning hindwing tails to deflect echolocating bat attacks away from
 their body and toward these nonessential appendages. We pit luna moths
 against big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) and demonstrate a survival
 advantage of ∼47% for moths with tails versus those that had their tails
 removed. The benefit of hindwing tails is equivalent to the advantage
 conferred to moths by bat-detecting ears. Moth tails lured bat attacks to
 these wing regions during 55% of interactions between bats and intact luna
 moths. We analyzed flight kinematics of moths with and without hindwing
 tails and suggest that tails have a minimal role in flight performance.
 Using a robust phylogeny, we find that long spatulate tails have
 independently evolved four times in saturniid moths, further supporting
 the selective advantage of this anti-bat strategy. Diversionary tactics
 are perhaps more common than appreciated in predator–prey interactions.
 Our finding suggests that focusing on the sensory ecologies of key
 predators will reveal such countermeasures in prey.

title: Data from: Exotic or not, leaf trait dissimilarity modulates the effect of dominant species on mixed litter decomposition

description: It has long been recognized that leaf traits exert a crucial control on
 litter decomposition, a key process for nutrient cycling, and that
 invading species can greatly alter such soil processes via changes in
 mixed litter trait composition. Trait effects on ecosystem processes are
 hypothesized to operate via changes in either dominant trait values in the
 community (often calculated as community weighted mean trait values; CWM)
 or trait functional diversity (dissimilarity between species trait values;
 FD). Few have studied the effects of these community trait components in
 tandem due to their interdependence. We studied litter mixture
 decomposition using three exotic and six native European tree species with
 a range in litter decomposability, to disentangle the unique and combined
 roles of CWM and FD in explaining net litter mixture mass loss. We showed
 that while CWM exerted the strongest effect on mass loss, FD modulated its
 effects, increasing mass loss in mixtures with low mean decomposability
 and decreasing mass loss in mixtures with high mean decomposability.
 Litter species identity and native/exotic status explained relatively
 little additional variation in mass loss after accounting for CWM and FD.
 We further showed that alterations to CWM and FD were more important than
 the replacement of a native species with an exotic counterpart in
 predicting mass loss. Synthesis: Our results indicate that the effect of
 adding an exotic or losing a native species on litter decomposition rate
 can be predicted from how a species alters both CWM and FD trait values.
 This supports the idea that the repercussions of exotic species on
 ecosystem processes depends on the extent that introduced species bear
 novel traits or trait values and so on how functionally dissimilar a
 species is compared to the existing species in the community.
