title: File name: Nicholson_et_al_manual_splits_9Myr_splits_ESM Title: Time binsDescription: File containing temporal bin information for use in Shareholder Quorum Subsampling analyses from Latitudinal diversity gradients in Mesozoic non-marine turtles

description: The latitudinal biodiversity gradient (LBG)–the pattern of increasing taxonomic richness with decreasing latitude–is prevalent in the structure of the modern biota. However, some freshwater taxa show peak richness at mid-latitudes; for example, extant Testudines (turtles, terrapins and tortoises) exhibit their greatest diversity at 25° N, a pattern sometimes attributed to recent bursts of climatically mediated species diversification. Here, we test whether this pattern also characterizes the Mesozoic distribution of turtles, to determine whether it was established during either their initial diversification or as a more modern phenomenon. Using global occurrence data for non-marine testudinate genera, we find that subsampled richness peaks at palaeolatitudes of 15 – 30° N in the Jurassic, 30 – 45° N through the Cretaceous to the Campanian, and from 30° to 60° N in the Maastrichtian. The absence of a significant diversity peak in southern latitudes is consistent with results from climatic models and turtle niche modelling that demonstrate a dearth of suitable turtle habitat in Gondwana during the Jurassic and Late Cretaceous. Our analyses confirm that the modern testudinate LBG has a deep-time origin and further demonstrate that LBGs are not always expressed as a smooth, equator-to-pole distribution.

title: R Code provided as supplementary material. from Mutualists or parasites? Context-dependent influence of symbiotic fly larvae on carnivorous investment in the Albany pitcher plant

description: Carnivorous plants allocate more resources to carnivorous structures under nutrient-limited conditions, and relative investment can also be influenced by animals (infauna) that live in association with these plants and feed on their prey. We investigated these effects within a population of the pitcher plant <i>Cephalotus follicularis</i> containing varying densities of larvae of the fly <i>Badisis ambulans</i>. For plants with a relatively high proportion of adult pitchers, increasing larval density was associated with lower relative leaf allocation to new pitcher buds. For plants with relatively few adult pitchers, however, there was greater relative leaf allocation to pitcher buds with increasing larval density. In a field experiment, there was no significant effect of experimental larval presence or absence on the change in carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio of plants. Although the direction of the correlation between <i>B. ambulans</i> larvae and relative investment in carnivorous and non-carnivorous structures depends on the relative number of mature structures, whether the larvae enhance or reduce nutrient stress under different conditions remains unclear. The change in C/N was, however, less variable for pitchers that contained larvae, suggesting a stabilizing effect. Eighteen of 52 experimental pitchers were damaged by an unknown species, causing the pitcher fluid to drain. These pitchers were significantly more likely to survive if they contained larvae. These results suggest that the relationship between infauna and host varies with the initial resource status and environmental context of the host plant.

title: Optimising conditions for growth and xanthophyll production in continuous culture of <i>Tisochrysis lutea</i> using photobioreactor arrays and central composite design experiments

description: The production of valuable metabolites from microalgae represents a potentially sustainable source of a range of products that can be difficult to synthesise directly. Microalgae respond to the dynamic and often subtly shifting growth environment in a complex way. The optimal conditions for growth can be quite different to those needed for optimal product generation, depending on the nature of the biosynthesis of that product. This is especially so for secondary metabolites. A combination of a multi-vessel photobioreactor array, where certain growth conditions can be monitored and controlled precisely together with an experimental design matrix has been used to determine the optimal combination of temperature, irradiance and pH for a group of xanthophylls including fucoxanthin in the algae <i>Tisochrysis lutea</i> in continuous culture. Continuous culture as a mode is more suited for industrial production than batch mode in which the media constituents and algal population change dramatically over time. The central composite design experiment matrix has a range of set values for each parameter being investigated that bracket the optimal conditions. The three parameters investigated in this work (temperature, irradiance and pH) are major factors influencing algal growth. The method can be applied to other parameters that might affect growth or might affect production of a metabolite of interest, such as a nutrient level. The combined approach has been used previously to indicate optimal growth conditions for biomass generation and this work is one of the first to apply it to the generation of an algal product of interest.

title: <i>Bcl2l10</i>, a new <i>Tpx2</i> binding partner, is a master regulator of <i>Aurora kinase A</i> in mouse oocytes

description: Previously, we demonstrated that <i>Bcl-2-like 10</i> (<i>Bcl2l10</i>) is associated with meiotic spindle assembly and that the gene that is most strongly down-regulated by <i>Bcl2l10</i> RNAi is <i>targeting protein for Xklp2</i> (<i>Tpx2</i>). <i>Tpx2</i> is a well-known cofactor that controls the activity and localization of <i>Aurora kinase A</i> (<i>Aurka</i>) during mitotic spindle assembly. Therefore, this study was conducted (1) to identify the associations among <i>Bcl2l10</i>, <i>Tpx2</i>, and <i>Aurka</i> and (2) to understand how <i>Bcl2l10</i> regulates meiotic spindle assembly in mouse oocytes. Bcl2l10, Tpx2, and Aurka co-localized on the meiotic spindles, and Bcl2l10 was present in the same complex with Tpx2. Tpx2 and Aurka expression decreased whereas phospho-Aurka increased in <i>Bcl2l10</i> RNAi-treated oocytes. Counterbalancing changes in the levels of these 2 activators, Tpx2 and phospho-Aurka, resulted in decreased <i>Aurka</i> catalytic activity after <i>Bcl2l10</i> RNAi treatment. <i>Bcl2l10</i> RNAi decreased the expression of microtubule organizing center (MTOC)-related proteins, disturbed MTOC formation and disrupted meiotic spindle assembly. Our data demonstrate that <i>Bcl2l10</i> is a binding partner of <i>Tpx2</i> and a new regulator of the complex controlling the organization of microtubules and MTOC biogenesis in meiotic spindle assembly. The discovery of <i>Bcl2l10</i> as a new effector of <i>Aurka</i> suggests that <i>Bcl2l10</i> may have diverse functions in mitotic cells.
