title: Data from: Pathways to global-change effects on biodiversity: New opportunities for dynamically forecasting demography and species interactions

description: In structured populations, persistence under environmental change is
 threatened when abiotic factors simultaneously negatively affect survival
 and reproduction of several life-cycle stages. Such effects can then be
 exacerbated when species interactions generate reciprocal feedbacks
 between the demographic rates of the different species. Despite the
 importance of such demographic feedbacks, forecasts that account for them
 are severely limited as individual-based data on interacting species are
 perceived to be essential for such mechanistic forecasting - but are
 rarely available. This dataset is the input to showcase a state-of-the-art
 Bayesian method  to infer and  project
 stage-specific survival and reproduction from abundance data for several
 interacting species in a Mediterranean shrub community.
description: In order to assess community composition before, during, and
 after a severe drought event in Doñana National Park, 18 permanent plots
 of 25 m<sup>2</sup> were established in November 2007 (two
 years after the drought) on a gradient of drought impact. The plots were
 located at three sites (with six plots per site): Raposo, Marquas, and
 Ojillo. To avoid spatial autocorrelation, all plots were separated by at
 least 50 m from each other. Species plant cover was estimated from
 contacts with branches along transects within plots; these contacts were
 divided into two categories corresponding to living or dead canopy.
 Relative abundance of each species per plot in years after the extreme
 drought was calculated as the proportion of their contacts of living
 canopy relative to the sum of the contacts of living canopy of all
 species. Similarly, the total vegetation cover per plot was calculated as
 the summed contacts of living canopy of all species.
description: All data were processed in R statistical
 software, version 4.0.1 (and packages as described in the R scripts). Code
 to analyze the data is presented on https://github.com/MariaPaniw/shrub_forecast.

title: Supplementary material for: A paleothermometer for the Northern Andes based on C3/C4 grass phytoliths

description: Grass-dominated ecosystems cover ~40% of Earth’s surface with tropical
 grasses accounting for ~20% of global net primary productivity. C3
 (cool/temperate) and C4 (tropical and subtropical) grass distribution is
 driven primarily by temperature. In this work, we used phytolith
 assemblages collected from vegetation plots along an elevation and
 temperature gradient in the Northern Andes (Colombia and Ecuador) to
 develop a paleothermometer for the region. To accomplish this, we created
 a transfer function based on the relationship between mean annual
 temperature (MAT) and the phytolith-based Climatic Index (1-Ic), which is
 the proportion of C4 grass phytoliths (GSSCP) over the sum of GSSCP. To
 evaluate how accurately the index reflects C4-C3 grass abundance in
 vegetation plots, we compared it with semi-quantitative floristic
 estimates of C4-C3 grass abundance. To further evaluate the 1-Ic index as
 a proxy for C4-C3 grass abundance, we compared it with corresponding ∂13C
 values (an independent proxy for C4-C3 vegetation). Results indicate that
 1) GSSCP assemblages correctly estimate C4-C3 grass abundance in
 vegetation plots; 2) the Ic index outperforms the ∂13C record in
 estimating C4-C3 grass abundance, even in open vegetation types; and 3)
 our Ic index–based model accurately predicts MAT. This new calibrated
 proxy will help improve paleotemperature reconstructions in the northern
 Andes since at least the emergence and spread of C4 grasses in the region
 during the late Miocene.

title: Data from: The phenotypic determinants of diet variation between divergent lineages of threespine stickleback

description: Lineages with independent evolutionary histories often differ in both
 their morphology and diet. Experimental work has improved our
 understanding of the links between the biomechanics of morphological
 traits and foraging performance (trait-utility). However, because the
 expression of foraging-relevant traits and their utility can be highly
 context-specific, it is often unclear how dietary divergence arises from
 evolved phenotypic differences. Here, we explore the phenotypic causes of
 dietary divergence between two genetically and phenotypically divergent
 lineages of threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) with
 independent evolutionary histories of freshwater colonization and
 adaptation. First, using individuals from a line-cross breeding design, we
 conducted 150 common-garden foraging trials with a community of multiple
 prey species and performed morphological and behavioural analyses to test
 for prey-specific trait-utility. Second, we tested if the traits that
 explain variation in foraging performance among all individuals could also
 explain the dietary divergence between the lineages. Overall, we found
 evidence for the utility of several foraging traits, but these traits did
 not explain the observed dietary divergence between the lineages in common
 garden. This work suggests that evolved dietary divergence results not
 only from differences in morphology but also from divergence in behaviours
 that underlie prey capture success in species-rich prey communities.
description: We conducted a common-garden feeding experiment, in order to
 understand the functional basis of dietary divergence between two
 divergent lineages of European stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus). In
 the experiment, 150 lab-raised individuals, derived from a line-cross
 breeding design, foraged freely on a diverse prey community. The feeding
 trials were video recorded and analyzed using the event-logging software
 BORIS to obtain data on the foraging behavior (number and targets of
 feeding strikes, non-foraging behaviors). After the conclusion of the
 feeding trials, fish were sacrificed and dissected for gut content
 analyses. We counted, identified and weighed the prey items contained in
 the guts. Finally, we used the software phenopype to measure the
 functional morphology.

title: Data for: Whole Animal Feed FLat (WAFFL): A complete and comprehensive validation of a novel high-throughput fly experimentation system

description: Non-mammalian model organisms have been essential for our understanding of
 the mechanisms that control development, disease, and physiology, but they
 are underutilized in pharmacological and toxicological phenotypic
 screening assays due to their low throughput in comparison with cell-based
 screens. To increase the utility of using Drosophila melanogaster in
 screening, we designed the Whole Animal Feeding FLat (WAFFL), a novel,
 flexible, and complete system for feeding, monitoring, and assaying flies
 in a high-throughput format. Our 3-D printed system is compatible with
 inexpensive and readily available, commercial 96-well plate consumables
 and equipment. Experimenters can change the diet at will during the
 experiment and video record for behavior analysis, enabling precise
 dosing, measurement of feeding, and analysis of behavior in 96-well plate
 format.

title: Data for: Parental environmental effects are common and strong, but unpredictable, in Arabidopsis thaliana

description: The phenotypes of plants can be influenced by the environmental conditions
 experienced by their parents. However, there is still much uncertainty
 about how common and how predictable such parental environmental effects
 really are. We carried out a comprehensive experimental test for parental
 effects, subjecting plants of multiple Arabidopsis thaliana genotypes to
 24 different biotic or abiotic stresses, or combinations thereof, and
 comparing their offspring phenotypes in a common environment. The majority
 of environmental stresses caused significant parental effects, with ‑35%
 to +38% changes in offspring fitness. The expression of parental effects
 was strongly genotype-dependent, and multiple environmental stresses often
 acted non-additively when combined. The direction and magnitude of
 parental effects were unrelated to the direct effects on the parents: some
 environmental stresses did not affect the parents but caused substantial
 effects on offspring, while for others the situation was reversed. Our
 study demonstrates that parental environmental effects are common and
 often strong in A. thaliana, but they are genotype-dependent, act
 non-additively, and are difficult to predict. We should thus be cautious
 with generalizing from simple studies with single plant genotypes and/or
 only few individual environmental stresses. A thorough and general
 understanding of parental effects requires large multi-factorial
 experiments.

title: Sunda-Sahul floristic exchange and pathways into the Southwest Pacific: New insights from wet tropical forest trees

description: Aim Recent investigations on the floristic exchange between Southeast Asia
 and Australia have shown a clear dispersal directionality bias (West to
 East) of wet-adapted plant taxa. However, dispersal routes and directions
 of wet forest taxa into the South Pacific remain insufficiently known. We
 here aimed to establish the most likely routes and directions of plant
 dispersal into the Southwest Pacific islands. Location Southeast Asia,
 East Asia, Australia, Southwest Pacific. Taxon Dysoxylum s.l. (Meliaceae).
 This includes Dysoxylum s.s., Didymocheton, Epicharis, Goniocheton,
 Pseudocarapa and Prasoxylon. Method We sampled 75% of the species
 diversity in Dysoxylum s.l., covering the entire distribution range, all
 genera and major lineages. Phylogenetic relationships of 149 accessions
 were reconstructed using Bayesian Evolutionary Analysis and two internal
 constraints. The dispersal–extinction–cladogenesis variant, founder-event
 speciation (DEC+J), was used for reconstructing the biogeographic history,
 and 100 BSMs were simulated. Results Dysoxylum s.l. originated and firstly
 diversified in the western part of its current distribution range (incl.
 Indochina) during the Miocene to Pliocene, followed by an overall eastern
 range expansion towards Malesia, Australia and the Southwest Pacific in
 the Pliocene. Main conclusions The south-eastward expansion of lineages
 into Wallacea and Australia is in temporal agreement with the convergence
 of the Asian and Australian tectonic plates since the Miocene.
 Long-distance dispersal is the main mechanism that led to the current
 distribution. Two dispersal pathways into the Southwest Pacific are
 identified, (1) through New Guinea and the Solomon Islands to Fiji, and
 (2) from New Zealand to Fiji. For both routes, Fiji was an important
 secondary source area for dispersal into the Southwest Pacific.

title: Code from: A theoretical framework for trait-based eco-evolutionary dynamics: population structure, intraspecific variation, and community assembly

description: How is trait diversity in a community apportioned between and within
 co-evolving species? Disruptive selection may result in either a few
 species with large intraspecific trait variation (ITV) or many species
 with different mean traits but little ITV. Similar questions arise in
 spatially structured communities: heterogeneous environments could result
 in either a few species that exhibit local adaptation or many species with
 different mean traits but little local adaptation. To date, theory has
 been well-equipped to either include ITV or to dynamically determine the
 number of coexisting species, but not both. Here, we devise a theoretical
 framework that combines these facets, and apply it to the above questions
 of how trait variation is apportioned within and between species in
 unstructured and structured populations, using two simple models of
 Lotka-Volterra competition. For unstructured communities, we find that as
 the breadth of the resource spectrum increases, ITV goes from being
 unimportant to crucial for characterizing the community. For spatially
 structured communities on two patches, we find no local adaptation,
 symmetric local adaptation, or asymmetric local adaptation depending on
 how much the patches differ. Our framework provides a general approach to
 incorporate ITV in models of eco-evolutionary community assembly.

title: Tettigettalna acoustic diversity

description: Divergence in acoustic signals may have a crucial role in the speciation
 process of animals that rely on sound for intra-specific recognition and
 mate attraction. The acoustic adaptation hypothesis (AAH) postulates that
 signals should diverge according to the physical properties of the
 signaling environment. To be efficient, signals should maximize
 transmission and decrease degradation. To test which drivers of
 divergence, exert the most influence in a speciose group of insects, we
 used a phylogenetic approach to the evolution of acoustic signals in the
 cicada genus Tettigettalna, investigating the relationship between
 acoustic traits (and their mode of evolution) and body size, climate, and
 micro/ macro-habitat usage.  Different traits showed different
 evolutionary paths. While acoustic divergence was generally independent of
 phylogenetic history, some temporal variables’ divergence was associated
 with genetic drift. We found support for ecological adaptation at the
 temporal but not the spectral level. Temporal patterns are correlated with
 micro- and macro-habitat usage and temperature stochasticity in ways that
 run against the AAH predictions, degrading signals more easily. These
 traits are likely to have evolved as an anti-predator strategy in
 conspicuous environments and low-density populations.  Our
 results support a role of ecological selection, not excluding a likely
 role of sexual selection in the evolution of Tettigettalna calling songs,
 which should be further investigated in an integrative approach.

title: Factors limiting plant recruitment in a Tropical Afromontane Forest

description: Predicting how forest species composition may change in response to global
 change is essential for meaningful management. Which species are most
 likely to successfully recruit depends on a multitude of factors, but
 processes operating at the seed-to-seedling transition being especially
 important. Here we explore how insufficient seed dispersal (dispersal
 limitation) and ecological filtering of seedlings (establishment
 limitation) influence species recruitment in an Afromontane Forest. We
 combined census data from seeds in seed traps and seed-seedling transition
 plots in a Nigerian montane forest to measure dispersal and establishment
 limitation across species, life history strategies and seed sizes. From
 106 seed traps and 318 seedling plots we recorded 11,278 seeds from 38
 species and 2,688 seedlings of 61 species. All species except for one
 liana showed strong dispersal limitation while 23 out of the 30 species
 showed establishment limitation. The two lianas sampled had significantly
 lower dispersal limitation compared to the trees investigated in the
 study. Our results suggest that both dispersal and establishment
 limitation are markedly high in this Afromontane forest than would be
 expected in a lowland counterpart.

title: Roper et al data on mite transmission between slugs

description: Transmission between hosts is crucial to the growth, development and
 reproduction of many parasites. As a consequence, parasites are under
 selection to maximise transmission success and exhibit many behavioural
 and morphological adaptations that allow detection of, and movement
 between, hosts. However, transmission success is not determined by
 parasites alone, but is also shaped by host behaviours. Often, host
 behaviours function to minimise the risk of exposure to parasites; in some
 cases, however, host behaviours may be manipulated by parasites to
 increase transmission success. In this study, we investigated transmission
 of the ectoparasitic mite Riccardoella oudemansi between slug (Limacus
 maculatus) hosts, considering the role of both host and parasite behaviour
 in determining transmission success. Host-host transmission occurred when
 slugs were in physical contact, but that mites were also capable of moving
 across the substrate to locate new hosts, a process facilitated by mucus
 trails. We found no strong evidence that slugs avoid parasitised
 conspecifics, or that mites manipulate slug behaviour to increase
 transmission. Finally, mites showed a preference for the mucus of
 parasitised slugs, but did not discriminate between mucus from their own
 host versus another parasitised slug. A general preference for mucus from
 parasitised slugs is likely to be important in encouraging mites to remain
 in close contact with their host and may also facilitate host-switching
 and outbreeding. We encourage further study of parasitism by Riccardoella
 in limacid slugs, where cross-species variation in host social behaviour
 may drive differences in the rate and success of parasite transmission
 across slug species.

 investigating transmission of the ectoparasitic mite Riccardoella
 oudemansi between slug (Limacus maculatus) hosts.

title: Data for: Effects of parental age on salt stress tolerance in an aquatic plant

description: Parental age influences components of offspring fitness in many species.
 The ability to tolerate stress also affects fitness, but less is known
 regarding changes in offspring stress tolerance with increasing parental
 age, especially in plants. We examined first and fifth-born clonal
 offspring (using birth order as a proxy for parental age), and compared
 their fitness in several sub-lethal concentrations of salt (NaCl), to
 investigate the interactive effects of birth order and salt stress on the
 offspring of the aquatic plant Lemna minor L. We found that increasing
 salt concentration reduced reproduction particularly at early ages, which
 detrimentally affected fitness, as measured by the intrinsic rate of
 natural increase. Fifth offspring had greater fitness than first
 offspring, potentially due to the hump-shaped relationship between
 offspring fitness and birth order observed in other studies on Lemna, with
 fifth offspring near the peak of the hump. We found no interactive effect
 of birth order and salt concentration on offspring fitness; however, there
 were interactive effects on the time to first reproduction and the size of
 fronds. Specifically, first offspring exposed to increasing salt
 concentrations exhibited longer delays to first reproduction and grew to a
 greater size, while fifth offspring showed little change in either
 variable with increasing salt concentration. Thus, variation in birth
 order affected offspring response to salt stress, although not in terms of
 fitness. These results help illuminate factors impacting the age-specific
 strength of natural selection and stress responses, and may be
 environmentally relevant in the context of environmental salinization.
