title: Data from: How far is too close? Restricted, sex-biased dispersal in black-capped vireos

description: Understanding the interplay of dispersal and how it translates into gene
 flow is key to understanding population processes, and especially so for
 endangered species occupying fragmented habitats. In migratory songbirds,
 there is evidence that long-distance movement capabilities are not highly
 related to observed dispersal. Our objectives were to 1) define the
 fine-scale spatial genetic structure in the endangered black-capped vireos
 to shed light on dispersal patterns, and 2) to relate dispersal dynamics
 to overall population genetic structure using a simulation approach. We
 sampled 160 individuals over two years to describe the fine-scale genetic
 structuring, and used this information to model scenarios to compare with
 actual data on change in population structuring over a 100-year interval.
 We found that black-capped vireo exhibit male-philopatry, and restricted
 dispersal distances, relative to females. Our simulations support a
 sex-biased dispersal model. Additionally, we find that fragmentation
 related changes in rates of dispersal might be a likely cause for
 increasing levels of population structure over a 100-year period. We show
 that restricted dispersal can explain population structuring in this
 species, and that changes in dispersal rates due to fragmentation may be a
 continuing threat to genetic viability in this species.

title: Data from: Cytonuclear evidence for hybridogenetic reproduction in natural populations of the Australian carp gudgeon (Hypseleotris: Eleotridae).

description: Although most vertebrates reproduce sexually, a small number of fishes,
 amphibians, and reptiles are known in which reproduction is asexual i.e.
 without meiotic recombination. In fishes, these so-called “unisexual”
 lineages usually comprise only females, and utilize co-occurring males of
 a related sexual species to reproduce via gynogenesis or hybridogenesis.
 Here we examine patterns of microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)
 variation in a widespread group of freshwater fishes (carp gudgeons;
 Hypseleotris spp.) to investigate a long-standing proposal that this group
 includes unisexual forms. We show that the mtDNA genome of most carp
 gudgeons in tributaries of the Goulburn River belong in one of two deeply
 divided clades (~10% cyt b divergence) and that nuclear variation divides
 the same individuals into four distinct groups. Group 1 exhibits the
 genotypic proportions of a random mating population and has a 1:1 sex
 ratio. Two other groups are extremely sex-biased (98% male, 96% female),
 exhibit excess heterozygosity at most loci and share at least one allele
 per locus with group 1. We propose that these two groups represent
 “unisexual” hybridogenetic lineages, and that both utilize co-occurring
 group 1 as sexual host. Interestingly, the fourth distinct group appears
 to represent hybrid offspring of the two putative hybridogenetic lineages.
 The propagation of clonal haploid genomes by both males and females and
 the ability of these clones to unite and form sexually mature diploid
 hybrid offspring may represent a novel mechanism that contributes to the
 dynamics of coexistence between hybridogenetic lineages and their sexual
 hosts.

title: Data from: The generification of the fossil record

description: Many modern paleobiological analyses are conducted at the generic level, a
 practice predicated on the validity of genera as meaningful proxies for
 species. Uncritical application of genera in such analyses, however, has
 led, perhaps inadvertently, to the unjustified reification of genera in an
 evolutionary context. While the utility of genera as proxies for species
 in evolutionary studies should be evaluated as an empirical issue, in
 practice it is increasingly assumed (rather than demonstrated) that genera
 are suitable proxies for species. This is problematic on both ontological
 and epistemological grounds. Genera are arbitrarily circumscribed,
 non-equivalent, often paraphyletic, and sometimes polyphyletic collections
 of species. They are useful tools for communication, but have no
 theoretical or biological reality of their own and, whether monophyletic
 or not, cannot themselves operate in the evolutionary process. Attributes
 considered important for understanding macroevolution (e.g., geographic
 ranges, niche breadths, and taxon durations) are frequently variable among
 species within genera and will be inflated at the generic level,
 especially in species-rich genera. Consequently, the meanings of results
 attained at the generic level may not "trickle down" in any
 obvious way that elucidates our understanding of evolution at the species
 level. Ideally, then, evolutionary studies that are actually about species
 should be studied using species-level data rather than proxy data
 tabulated using genera. Where genera are used, greater critical attention
 should be focused on the degree to which attributes tabulated at the
 generic level reflect biological properties and processes at the species
 level.

title: Data from: Migratory monarchs that encounter resident monarchs show life-history differences and higher rates of parasite infection

description: Environmental change induces some wildlife populations to shift from
 migratory to resident behaviours. Newly formed resident populations could
 influence the health and behaviour of remaining migrants. We investigated
 migrant-resident interactions among monarch butterflies and consequences
 for life history and parasitism. Eastern North American monarchs migrate
 annually to Mexico, but some now breed year-round on exotic milkweed in
 the southern U.S. and experience high infection prevalence of protozoan
 parasites. Using stable isotopes (2H, 13C) and cardenolide profiles to
 estimate natal origins, we show that migrant and resident monarchs overlap
 during fall and spring migration. Migrants at sites with residents were 13
 times more likely to have infections and three times more likely to be
 reproductive (outside normal breeding season) compared to other migrants.
 Exotic milkweed might either induce these states or attract migrants that
 are already infected or reproductive. Increased migrant-resident
 interactions could affect monarch parasitism, migratory success, and
 long-term conservation.

title: Data from: Vocal foragers and silent crowds: context-dependent vocal variation in Northeast Atlantic long-finned pilot whales

description: Vocalisations form a key component of the social interactions and foraging
 behaviour of toothed whales. We investigated changes in calling and
 echolocation behaviour of long-finned pilot whales between foraging and
 non-foraging periods, by combining acoustic recordings and diving depth
 data from tagged individuals with concurrent surface observations on
 social behaviour of their group. The pilot whales showed marked vocal
 variation, specific to foraging and social context. During periods of
 foraging, pilot whales showed more vocal activity than during non-foraging
 periods (rest, travel). In addition to the expected increase in
 echolocation activity, call rates also increased, suggesting that pilot
 whales communicate more during foraging. Furthermore, calls with multiple
 inflections occurred more often immediately before and after foraging
 dives and during the early descent and late ascent phases of foraging
 dives. However, these calls were almost never detected at diving depths of
 the tagged whale beyond 350 m. Calls with no or few inflections were
 produced at all times, irrespective of diving depth of the tagged whale.
 We discuss possible explanations for the distinct vocal variation
 associated with foraging periods. In addition, during non-foraging
 periods, the pilot whales were found to be more silent (no calling or
 echolocation) in larger, more closely spaced groups. This indicates that
 increased levels of social cohesion may release the need to stay in touch
 acoustically.

title: Data from: A maximum likelihood approach to generate hypotheses on the evolution and historical biogeography in the Lower Volga Valley regions (southwest Russia)

description: The evolution of the diverse flora in the Lower Volga Valley (LVV)
 (southwest Russia) is complex due to the composite geomorphology and
 tectonic history of the Caspian Sea and adjacent areas. In the absence of
 phylogenetic studies and temporal information, we implemented a maximum
 likelihood (ML) approach and stochastic character mapping reconstruction
 aiming at recovering historical signals from species occurrence data. A
 taxon-area matrix of 13 floristic areas and 1018 extant species was
 constructed and analyzed with RAxML and Mesquite. Additionally, we
 simulated scenarios with numbers of hypothetical extinct taxa from an
 unknown palaeoflora that occupied the areas before the dramatic
 transgression and regression events that have occurred from the
 Pleistocene to the present day. The flora occurring strictly along the
 river valley and delta appear to be younger than that of adjacent steppes
 and desert-like regions, regardless of the chronology of transgression and
 regression events that led to the geomorphological formation of the LVV.
 This result is also supported when hypothetical extinct taxa are included
 in the analyses. The history of each species was inferred by using a
 stochastic character mapping reconstruction method as implemented in
 Mesquite. Individual histories appear to be independent from one another
 and have been shaped by repeated dispersal and extinction events. These
 reconstructions provide testable hypotheses for more in-depth
 investigations of their population structure and dynamics.

title: Data from: A phenological shift in the time of recruitment of the shipworm, Teredo navalis L., mirrors marine climate change

description: For many species, seasonal changes in key environmental variables such as
 food availability, light, and temperature drive the timing (“phenology”)
 of major life-history events. Extensive evidence from terrestrial,
 freshwater, and marine habitats shows that global warming is changing the
 timings of many biological events; however, few of these studies have
 investigated the effects of climate change on the phenology of larval
 recruitment in marine invertebrates. Here, we studied temperature-related
 phenological shifts in the breeding season of the shipworm Teredo navalis
 (Mollusca, Bivalvia). We compared data for the recruitment period of T.
 navalis along the Swedish west coast during 2004–2006 with similar data
 from 1971–1973, and related differences in recruitment timing to changes
 in sea surface temperature over the same period. We found no significant
 shift in the timing of onset of recruitment over this ~30-year time span,
 but the end of recruitment was an average of 26 days later in recent
 years, leading to significantly longer recruitment periods. These changes
 correlated strongly with increased sea surface temperatures and coincided
 with published thermal tolerances for reproduction in T. navalis. Our
 findings are broadly comparable with other reports of phenological shifts
 in marine species, and suggest that warmer sea surface temperatures are
 increasing the likelihood of successful subannual reproduction and
 intensifying recruitment of T. navalis in this region.

title: Data from: Colonization of weakened trees by mass-attacking bark beetles: no penalty for pioneers, scattered initial distributions and final regular patterns

description: Bark beetles use aggregation pheromones to promote group foraging, thus
 increasing the chances of an individual to find a host and, when relevant,
 to overwhelm the defences of healthy trees. When a male beetle finds a
 suitable host, it releases pheromones that attract potential mates as well
 as other "spying" males, which results in aggregations on the
 new host. To date, most studies have been concerned with the use of
 aggregation pheromones by bark beetles to overcome the defences of living,
 well-protected trees. How insects behave when facing undefended or poorly
 defended hosts remains largely unknown. The spatio-temporal pattern of
 resource colonization by the European eight-toothed spruce bark beetle,
 Ips typographus, was quantified when weakly defended hosts (fallen trees)
 were attacked. In many of the replicates, colonization began with the
 insects rapidly scattering over the available surface and then randomly
 filling the gaps until a regular distribution was established, which
 resulted in a constant decrease in nearest-neighbour distances to a
 minimum below which attacks were not initiated. The scattered distribution
 of the first attacks suggested that the trees were only weakly defended. A
 minimal theoretical distance of 2.5 cm to the earlier settlers
 (corresponding to a density of 3.13 attacks/dm²) was calculated, but the
 attack density always remained lower, between 0.4 and 1.2 holes/dm²,
 according to our observations.

title: Data from: Priority effects in a planktonic bloom-forming marine diatom

description: Priority effects occur when a species or genotype with earlier arrival has
 an advantage such that its relative abundance in the community or
 population is increased compared with later-arriving species. Few studies
 have dealt with this concept in the context of within-species competition.
 Skeletonema marinoi is a marine diatom that shows a high degree of genetic
 differentiation between populations over small geographical distances. To
 test whether historical events such as priority effects may have been
 important in inducing these patterns of population differentiation, we
 performed microcosm experiments with successive inoculation of different
 S. marinoi strains. Our results show that even in the absence of a
 numerical advantage, significant priority effects were evident. We propose
 that priority effects may be an important mechanism in initiating
 population genetic differentiation.

title: Data from: Molecular population genetics of the melanic plumage polymorphism in arctic skuas (Stercorarius parasiticus): evidence for divergent selection on plumage colour

description: The arctic skua (Stercorarius parasiticus) is a classic example of an
 avian plumage polymorphism, with variation in melanin-based ventral
 plumage coloration defining pale, intermediate and dark morphs in adults
 of both sexes. However, despite several decades of field research, there
 is an incomplete understanding of how the polymorphism in ventral plumage
 colour is maintained and the selective forces involved. Here we
 investigate selection on a locus (MC1R) that is strongly associated with
 plumage colour variation in arctic skuas using patterns of nucleotide
 variation and comparison to neutral loci (nuclear introns and mtDNA). We
 find that three linked non-synonymous mutations in MC1R, including the
 single mutation described previously, are associated with plumage colour
 in the arctic skua. The position of non-synonymous mutations on a MC1R
 haplotype network implies that divergent selection drove the initial
 evolution of the colour morphs. Comparisons of FSTs of MC1R vs. nuclear
 introns among five skua populations differing in proportion of dark morphs
 along an approximate north-south cline reveals a signature of divergent
 selection on MC1R. In contrast, we find limited evidence for balancing
 selection on MC1R within populations, although the power is low. Our
 results provide strong evidence for both past and ongoing selection on
 MC1R, and, by implication, plumage colour in arctic skuas. The results
 suggest that a fruitful avenue for future ecological studies will be
 analysis of selection on morphs in colonies at the extremes along the
 morph ratio cline.

title: Data from: Shortwave sand transport in the shallow surf zone

description: Empirical parameterizations of the shortwave sand transport that are used
 in practical engineering models lack the representation of certain
 processes to accurately predict morphodynamics in shallow water.
 Therefore, measurements of near‐bed velocity and suspended sand
 concentration, collected during two field campaigns (at the Sand Engine
 and Ameland, the Netherlands) and one field‐scale laboratory experiment
 (BARDEXII), were here analyzed to study the magnitude and direction of the
 shortwave sand flux in the shallow surf zone. Shortwave sand fluxes
 dominated the total sand flux during low‐energetic accretive conditions,
 while the mean cross‐shore current (undertow) dominated the total flux
 during high‐energetic erosive conditions. Under low‐energetic conditions,
 the onshore‐directed shortwave sand flux scales with the root‐mean‐square
 orbital velocity urms and velocity asymmetry Au but not with the velocity
 skewness. Under more energetic conditions the shortwave flux reduces with
 an increase in the cross‐shore mean current
 urn:x-wiley:jgrf:media:jgrf20828:jgrf20828-math-0001 and can even become
 offshore directed. For all data combined, the contribution of the
 shortwave flux to the total flux scales with
 urn:x-wiley:jgrf:media:jgrf20828:jgrf20828-math-0002, with a high
 contribution of the shortwave flux (∼70%) when this ratio is high (∼ 10)
 and low contributions (∼0%) when this ratio is low (∼1). We argue that the
 velocity asymmetry is a good proxy for the net effect of several transport
 mechanisms in the shallow surf zone, including breaking‐induced
 turbulence. These field and laboratory measurements under irregular waves
 thus support the hypothesis that the inclusion of velocity asymmetry in
 transport formulations would improve the performance of morphodynamic
 models in shallow water.

title: Data from: Selection is stronger in early-versus-late stages of divergence in a Neotropical livebearing fish

description: How selection acts to drive trait evolution at different stages of
 divergence is of fundamental importance in our understanding of the
 origins of biodiversity. Yet, most studies have focused on a single point
 along an evolutionary trajectory. Here, we provide a case study evaluating
 the strength of divergent selection acting on life-history traits at
 early-versus-late stages of divergence in Brachyrhaphis fishes. We find
 that the difference in selection is stronger in the early-diverged
 population than the late-diverged population, and that trait differences
 acquired early are maintained over time.
