title: Data from: Influence of preexisting preference for color on sampling and tracking behavior in bumble bees

description: Animals reduce uncertainty in their lifetime by using information to guide
 decision making. Information available can be inherited from the past or
 gathered from the present. Therefore, animals must balance inherited
 biases with new information that may be in conflict with those potential
 biases. In our study, we set up color pairings such that an arbitrarily
 chosen focal color, human-orange, would result in an inherent bias in
 comparison to three other colors tested resulting in equal, medium, and
 strong preference differences. We chose color pairings through a series of
 preferences tests across 8 colonies of bumblebees. We subsequently used
 these pairings with rewards that varied in quality (good or bad states)
 and consistency (steady and fluctuating) in order to investigate how
 inherited biases affect the foraging choices of bumblebees when new
 information is gathered. We found that the pre-existing color biases
 within our bees were only maintained when the reward associated with those
 colors was steady, even if paired with mediocre sugar concentrations. When
 maintained, we observed that other aspects of bee choice also reflected
 this bias, including increased sampling for the preferred color and an
 increased likelihood of choosing that color in a subsequent choice. Thus,
 environmental change and reward differences interact with the level of
 pre-existing bias to determine whether inherited information is more
 heavily weighted than newly gathered information, and even a strong
 pre-existing bias can be quickly erased with experience under some
 conditions.

title: Data from: Chemical communication is not sufficient to explain reproductive inhibition in the bumblebee Bombus impatiens

description: Reproductive division of labour is a hallmark of eusociality, but
 disentangling the underlying proximate mechanisms can be challenging. In
 bumblebees, workers isolated from the queen can activate their ovaries and
 lay haploid, male eggs. We investigated if volatile, contact, visual or
 behavioural cues produced by the queen or brood mediate reproductive
 dominance in Bombus impatiens. Exposure to queen-produced volatiles,
 brood-produced volatiles and direct contact with pupae did not reduce
 worker ovary activation; only direct contact with the queen could reduce
 ovary activation. We evaluated behaviour, physiology and gene expression
 patterns in workers that were reared in chambers with all stages of brood
 and a free queen, caged queen (where workers could contact the queen, but
 the queen was unable to initiate interactions) or no queen. Workers housed
 with a caged queen or no queen fully activated their ovaries, whereas
 ovary activation in workers housed with a free queen was completely
 inhibited. The caged queen marginally reduced worker aggression and
 expression of an aggression-associated gene relative to queenless workers.
 Thus, queen-initiated behavioural interactions appear necessary to
 establish reproductive dominance. Queen-produced chemical cues may
 function secondarily in a context-specific manner to augment behavioural
 cues, as reliable or honest signal.

title: Data from: Cues of maternal condition influence offspring selfishness

description: The evolution of parent-offspring communication was mostly studied from
 the perspective of parents responding to begging signals conveying
 information about offspring condition. Parents should respond to begging
 because of the differential fitness returns obtained from their investment
 in offspring that differ in condition. For analogous reasons, offspring
 should adjust their behavior to cues/signals of parental condition:
 parents that differ in condition pay differential costs of care and,
 hence, should provide different amounts of food. In this study, we
 experimentally tested in the European earwig (Forficula auricularia) if
 cues of maternal condition affect offspring behavior in terms of sibling
 cannibalism. We experimentally manipulated female condition by providing
 them with different amounts of food, kept nymph condition constant,
 allowed for nymph exposure to chemical maternal cues over extended time,
 quantified nymph survival (deaths being due to cannibalism) and extracted
 and analyzed the females’ cuticular hydrocarbons (CHC). Nymph survival was
 significantly affected by chemical cues of maternal condition, and this
 effect depended on the timing of breeding. Cues of poor maternal condition
 enhanced nymph survival in early broods, but reduced nymph survival in
 late broods, and vice versa for cues of good condition. Furthermore,
 female condition affected the quantitative composition of their CHC
 profile which in turn predicted nymph survival patterns. Thus, earwig
 offspring are sensitive to chemical cues of maternal condition and nymphs
 from early and late broods show opposite reactions to the same chemical
 cues. Together with former evidence on maternal sensitivities to
 condition-dependent nymph chemical cues, our study shows context-dependent
 reciprocal information exchange about condition between earwig mothers and
 their offspring, potentially mediated by cuticular hydrocarbons.

title: Data from: Incorporating evolutionary insights to improve ecotoxicology for freshwater species

description: Ecotoxicological studies have provided extensive insights into the lethal
 and sublethal effects of environmental contaminants. These insights are
 critical for environmental regulatory frameworks, which rely on knowledge
 of toxicity for developing policies to manage contaminants. While varied
 approaches have been applied to ecotoxicological questions, perspectives
 related to the evolutionary history of focal species or populations have
 received little consideration. Here, we evaluate chloride toxicity from
 the perspectives of both macroevolution and contemporary evolution. First,
 by mapping chloride toxicity values derived from the literature onto a
 phylogeny of macroinvertebrates, fish, and amphibians, we tested whether
 macroevolutionary relationships across species and taxa are predictive of
 chloride sensitivity. Next, we conducted chloride exposure tests for two
 amphibian species to assess whether potential contemporary evolutionary
 change associated with environmental chloride contamination influences
 chloride sensitivity across local populations. We show that explicitly
 evaluating both macro- and contemporary evolution can provide important
 and even qualitatively different insights from those obtained via
 traditional ecotoxicological studies. While macroevolutionary perspectives
 can help forecast toxicological endpoints for species with untested
 sensitivities, contemporary evolutionary perspectives demonstrate the need
 to consider the environmental context of exposed populations when
 measuring toxicity. Accounting for divergence among populations of
 interest can provide more accurate and relevant information related to the
 sensitivity of populations that may be evolving in response to selection
 from contaminant exposure. Our data shows that approaches accounting for
 and specifically examining variation among natural populations should
 become standard practice in ecotoxicology.

title: Data from: Higher resource level promotes virulence in an environmentally transmitted bacterial fish pathogen

description: Diseases have become a primary constraint to sustainable aquaculture, but
 remarkably little attention has been paid to a broad class of pathogens:
 the opportunists. Opportunists often persist in the environment outside
 the host and their pathogenic features are influenced by changes in the
 environment. To test how environmental nutrient levels influence
 virulence, we used strains of Flavobacterium columnare, an environmentally
 transmitted fish pathogen, to infect rainbow trout and zebra fish in two
 different nutrient concentrations. To separate the effects of dose and
 nutrients, we used three infective doses and studied the growth of
 bacteria in vitro. High nutrient concentration promoted both the virulence
 and the outside-host growth of the pathogen, most notably in a
 low-virulence strain. The increase in virulence could not be exhaustively
 explained by the increased dose under higher nutrient supply, suggesting
 virulence factor activation. In aquaculture settings, accumulation of
 organic material in rearing units can locally increase water nutrient
 concentration and therefore increase disease risk as a response to
 elevated bacterial density and virulence factor activation. Our results
 highlight the role of increased nutrients in outside-host environment as a
 selective agent for higher virulence and faster evolutionary rate in
 opportunistic pathogens.

title: Data from: Disentangling precopulatory and postcopulatory sexual selection in polyandrous species

description: Sexual selection operates on a sequence of events, from mating to
 offspring production. Which stages in this sequence undergo stronger
 selection, especially the relative importance of pre- versus
 postcopulatory processes, are intensely debated issues. Unequal siring
 success among mates of polyandrous females is classically taken as
 evidence for a large contribution of postcopulatory processes to the
 variance in male reproductive success (var(RSm)). However paternity skews
 also depend on the timing and number of copulations, a source of variation
 that should be considered precopulatory rather than postcopulatory. We
 develop a method for decomposing var(RSm) accounting for copulatory
 activity and apply it to experimental mating groups of the snail Physa
 acuta. In our experiment, 40% of var(RSm) emerges at the precopulatory
 stage, only half of which depends on variation in mating success (number
 of partners). Ignoring copulation characteristics can therefore lead to
 severe underestimation of precopulatory sexual selection. Moreover,
 although only 36% of var(RSm) arises at the postcopulatory stage, this is
 when sexual selection on body weight mostly occurs. Finally, trade-offs
 were detected between different components of precopulatory success while
 pre- and postcopulatory success appear independent. Our study opens the
 way to a detailed quantitative understanding of sexual selection in
 polyandrous species.

title: Data from: A giant pliosaurid skull from the Late Jurassic of England

description: Pliosaurids were a long-lived and cosmopolitan group of marine predators
 that spanned 110 million years and occupied the upper tiers of marine
 ecosystems from the Middle Jurassic until the early Late Cretaceous. A
 well-preserved giant pliosaurid skull from the Late Jurassic Kimmeridge
 Clay Formation of Dorset, United Kingdom, represents a new species,
 Pliosaurus kevani. This specimen is described in detail, and the taxonomy
 and systematics of Late Jurassic pliosaurids is revised. We name two
 additional new species, Pliosaurus carpenteri and Pliosaurus
 westburyensis, based on previously described relatively complete,
 well-preserved remains. Most or all Late Jurassic pliosaurids represent a
 globally distributed monophyletic group (the genus Pliosaurus, excluding
 ‘Pliosaurus’ andrewsi). Despite its high species diversity, and
 geographically widespread, temporally extensive occurrence, Pliosaurus
 shows relatively less morphological and ecological variation than is seen
 in earlier, multi-genus pliosaurid assemblages such as that of the Middle
 Jurassic Oxford Clay Formation. It also shows less ecological variation
 than the pliosaurid-like Cretaceous clade Polycotylidae. Species of
 Pliosaurus had robust skulls, large body sizes (with skull lengths of
 1.7–2.1 metres), and trihedral or subtrihedral teeth suggesting
 macropredaceous habits. Our data support a trend of decreasing length of
 the mandibular symphysis through Late Jurassic time, as previously
 suggested. This may be correlated with increasing adaptation to feeding on
 large prey. Maximum body size of pliosaurids increased from their first
 appearance in the Early Jurassic until the Early Cretaceous (skull lengths
 up to 2360 mm). However, some reduction occurred before their final
 extinction in the early Late Cretaceous (skull lengths up to 1750 mm).

title: Data from: Postcranial diversity and recent ecomorphic impoverishment of North American gray wolves

description: Recent advances in genomics and palaeontology have begun to unravel the
 complex evolutionary history of the gray wolf, Canis lupus. Still, much of
 their phenotypic variation across time and space remains to be documented.
 We examined the limb morphology of the fossil and modern North American
 gray wolves from the late Quaternary (&lt; ca.70 ka) to better
 understand their postcranial diversity through time. We found that the
 late-Pleistocene gray wolves were characterised by short-leggedness on
 both sides of the Cordilleran-Laurentide ice sheets, and that this trait
 survived well into the Holocene despite the collapse of Pleistocene
 megafauna and disappearance of the “Beringian wolf” from Alaska. In
 contrast, extant populations in the Midwestern United States and
 north-western North America are distinguished by their elongate limbs with
 long distal segments, which appear to have evolved during the Holocene
 possibly in response to a new level or type of prey depletion. One of the
 consequences of recent extirpation of the Plains (C. l. nubilus) and
 Mexican wolves (C. l. baileyi) from much of the United States is an
 unprecedented loss of postcranial diversity through removal of
 short-legged forms. Conservation of these wolves is thus critical to
 restoration of the ecophenotypic diversity and evolutionary potential of
 gray wolves in North America.

title: Data from: Male burying beetles extend, not reduce, parental care duration when reproductive competition is high

description: Male parents spend less time caring than females in many species with
 biparental care. The traditional explanation for this pattern is that
 males have lower confidence of parentage, so they desert earlier in favor
 of pursuing other mating opportunities. However, one recent alternative
 hypothesis is that prolonged male parental care might also evolve if
 staying to care actively improves paternity. If this is the case, an
 increase in reproductive competition should be associated with increased
 paternal care. To test this prediction we manipulated the level of
 reproductive competition experienced by burying beetles, Nicrophorus
 vespilloides (Herbst, 1783). We found that caregiving males stayed for
 longer and mated more frequently with their partner when reproductive
 competition was greater. Reproductive productivity did not increase when
 males extended care. Our findings provide support for the increased
 paternity hypothesis. Extended duration of parental care may be a male
 tactic both protecting investment (in the current brood) and maximising
 paternity (in subsequent brood(s) via female stored sperm) even if this
 fails to maximise current reproductive productivity and creates conflict
 of interest with their mate via costs associated with increased mating
 frequency.

title: Data from: Environmental controls on canopy foliar N distributions in a neotropical lowland forest

description: Distributions of foliar nutrients across forest canopies can give insight
 into their plant functional diversity and improve our understanding of
 biogeochemical cycling. We used airborne remote sensing and Partial Least
 Squares Regression (PLSR) to quantify canopy foliar nitrogen (N) across
 ~164 km2 of wet lowland tropical forest in the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica.
 We determined the relative influence of climate and topography on the
 observed patterns of canopy foliar N using a gradient boosting model (GBM)
 technique. At a local scale, where climate and substrate where constant,
 we explored the influence of slope position on canopy N by quantifying
 canopy N on remnant terraces, their adjacent slopes and knife edged
 ridges. In addition, we climbed and sampled 540 trees and analyzed foliar
 N in order to quantify the role of species identity (phylogeny) and
 environmental factors in predicting canopy N. Observed canopy N
 heterogeneity reflected environmental factors working at multiple spatial
 scales. Across the larger landscape, elevation and precipitation had the
 highest relative influence on predicting canopy foliar N (30 and 24%),
 followed by soils (15%), site exposure (9%), compound topographic index
 (8%), substrate (6%), and landscape dissection (6%). Phylogeny explained
 ~75% of the variation in the filed collected foliar N data, suggesting
 that phylogeny largely underpins the response to the environmental
 factors. Taken together, these data suggest that a large fraction of the
 variance in canopy N across the landscape is proximately driven by species
 composition, though ultimately this is likely a response to abiotic
 factors such as climate and topography. Future work should focus on the
 mechanisms and feedbacks involved, and how shifts in climate may translate
 to changes in forest function.

title: Data from: Cryptic individual scaling relationships and the evolution of morphological scaling

description: Morphological scaling relationships between organ and body size—also known
 as allometries—describe the shape of a species, and the evolution of such
 scaling relationships is central to the generation of morphological
 diversity. Despite extensive modeling and empirical tests, however, the
 modes of selection that generate changes in scaling remain largely
 unknown. Here, we mathematically model the evolution of the group-level
 scaling as an emergent property of individual-level variation in the
 developmental mechanisms that regulate trait and body size. We show that
 these mechanisms generate a “cryptic individual scaling relationship”
 unique to each genotype in a population, which determines body and trait
 size expressed by each individual, depending on developmental nutrition.
 We find that populations may have identical population-level allometries
 but very different underlying patterns of cryptic individual scaling
 relationships. Consequently, two populations with apparently the same
 morphological scaling relationship may respond very differently to the
 same form of selection. By focusing on the developmental mechanisms that
 regulate trait size and the patterns of cryptic individual scaling
 relationships they produce, our approach reveals the forms of selection
 that should be most effective in altering morphological scaling, and
 directs researcher attention on the actual, hitherto overlooked, targets
 of selection.
