title: Data from: Complex interactions between temperature, sexual signals, and mate choice in a desert-dwelling jumping spider

description: Environmental context is a crucial factor that influences sexual
 communication systems. Particularly in ectotherms, which cannot
 metabolically regulate their body temperature, temperature has an outsized
 effect on these intraspecific interactions. Using a desert-dwelling
 jumping spider Habronattus clypeatus, we assessed how temperature impacts
 various parts of the male signal and female mate choice for the signal.
 These spiders have multimodal, temporally-structured courtship displays
 that begin with visual-only “sidling” displays and proceed to multimodal
 visual and vibratory displays. In order to examine temperature effects, we
 performed no-choice mating experiments (n = 45 trials) at two temperature
 treatments: hot (~50 °C) and room temperature (~25 °C). We found first
 that variation in the different stages of courtship segregated onto
 different principal components. We also found that temperature impacts
 only vibratory courtship and not sidling courtship. The only aspect of
 male courtship that females expressed preference for was sidling
 courtship, but only at the higher temperature. Specifically, females
 preferred to mate with males that performed shorter sidling displays. This
 is reflected by shorter copulation times in the warm treatment as well.
 Our results highlight the importance of understanding environmental
 context in studies of animal communication. We also stress how a holistic,
 rather than reductive, approach to complex communication systems is vital
 in order to understand how selection acts upon them.

title: Data from: In situ filamentous communities from the Ediacaran (~563 Ma) of Brazil

description: Precambrian filamentous microfossils are common and diverse. Nevertheless,
 their taxonomic assignment can be difficult due to their overall simple
 shapes typically lacking in diagnostic features. Here, we report in situ
 communities of well-preserved, large filamentous impressions from the
 Ediacaran Itajaí Basin (ca. 563 Ma) of Brazil. The filaments are uniserial
 (unbranched) and can reach up to 200 µm in width and up to 44 mm in
 length. They occur as both densely packed or sparsely populated surfaces,
 and typically show a consistent orientation. Although simple in shape,
 their preferred orientation suggests they were tethered to the seafloor,
 and their overall flexibility (e.g. bent, folded, and twisted) supports a
 biological (rather than sedimentary) affinity. Biometric comparisons with
 modern filamentous groups further support their biological affinity,
 suggesting links with either large sulphide-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) or
 eukaryotes. Other morphological and palaeoecological characteristics
 further corroborates their similarities with modern large filamentous
 SOBs. Their widespread occurrence and association with complex Ediacaran
 macrobiota (e.g. frondose organisms, Palaeopascichnus) suggest that they
 likely played an important role in the ecological dynamics of these early
 benthic communities by providing firm substrates for metazoans to inhabit.
 It is further hypothesized that the dynamic redox condition in the latest
 Ediacaran, with the non-continuous rise in oxygen concentration and
 periods of hypoxia, may have created ideal conditions for
 sulphide-oxidizing bacteria to thrive.

title: Species Abundance Distributions (SADs) for local tree communities in 1-ha forest plots on 20 tropical islands in the Indo-Pacific region

description: Species abundance distributions (SADs) characterise the
 distribution of individuals among species. This dataset was used
 to investigate the relative importance of disturbance regime
 (tropical cyclone regime) and island geography (the area
 and isolation of islands) on the shape of SADs.
description: Tree species abundance
 data (i.e., the number of individuals for each tree species within a
 community), was obtained for 51 1-ha plots in humid tropical forests on 20
 islands (13 archipelagos) in the Indo-Pacific region. Only plots without
 any evidence of recent natural or anthropogenic disturbances were
 conisidred (e.g., secondary forest plots, as defined by the author of
 source data, were removed). In each plot, all trees with a stem diameter
 ≥ 10 cm at c. 1.3 m above the base
 (DBH, diameter at breast height) were identified. All plots were located
 in lowland forests on islands larger than 1
 km<sup>2</sup>. For each plot the number of trees
 (N), the number of tree species (R), and the shape parameter
 α of the gambin model (which characterize the
 shape of species abundance distributions, SADs) were computed.
 Standaridized R (R<sub>stand</sub>) 
 and α (α<sub>stand</sub>)<sub> </sub>were also computed by randomly subsampling 400 trees per plot before counting the number of species and fitting gambin models. This process was repeated 100 times for each plot before estimating R<sub>stand</sub> and α<sub>stand</sub> as the mean value of R<sub>i</sub> and α<sub>i</sub> from all iterations. Island area (Area) and isolation (Dist) were extracted from the Island Directory (http://islands.unep.ch), mean annual temperature (MAT) and mean annual precipitation (MAP) were extracted for each plot location from CHELSA (http://chelsa-climate.org/) and a power dissipation index (PDI), a proxy of the energy released by cyclones, was computed using  the IBTrACs database (https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/ibtracs/, see Knapp, Kruk, Levinson).

title: Data for: Risk in the circular food economy: Glyphosate-based herbicide residues in manure fertilizers decrease crop yield

description: Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) are the most frequently used herbicides
 globally. They were launched as a safe solution for weed control, but
 recently, an increasing number of studies have shown the existence of GBH
 residues and highlighted the associated risks they pose throughout
 ecosystems. Conventional agricultural practices often include the use of
 GBHs, and the use of glyphosate-resistant genetically modified crops is
 largely based on the application of glyphosate, which increases the
 likelihood of its residues ending up in animal feed. These residues
 persist throughout the digestive process of production animals and
 accumulate in their excretion products. The poultry industry, in
 particular, is rapidly growing, and excreted products are used as plant
 fertilizers in line with circular food economy practices. We studied the
 potential effects of unintentional glyphosate contamination on an
 agronomically important forage grass, meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis)
 and a horticulturally important strawberry (Fragaria x vescana) using
 glyphosate residues containing poultry manure as a plant fertilizer in a
 common garden experiment. Glyphosate in the manure decreased plant growth
 in both species and vegetative reproduction in F. x vescana. Furthermore,
 our results indicate that glyphosate residues in organic fertilizers might
 have indirect effects on sexual reproduction in F. pratensis and herbivory
 in F. x vescana because they positively correlate with plant size. Our
 results highlight that glyphosate can be unintentionally spread via
 organic fertilizer, counteracting its ability to promote plant growth.

 <i>Festuca pratensis</i> and <i>Fragaria x

 (2) The number of <i>F. pratensis</i> inflorescences
 was counted as a measure of reproduction. (3) Growth of
 the <i>F. x vescana </i>was estimated as plant size index
 calculated as the diameter × height of the rosette at the end of the
 growing season. (4) F<i>. x
 vescana</i> (vegetative) reproduction was measured as runner
 biomass. (5) As an estimate of herbivory, the presence
 of aphids was recorded both for <i>F. pratensis</i> and
 <i>F. x vescana. </i>In addition, the number of chewing
 insect-damaged <i>F. x vescana</i> leaves (as indications of
 hymenoptera, lepidoptera, and/or coleoptera damage) was
 calculated.

title: Opportunities and challenges in achieving co-management in marine protected areas in East Africa: a comparative case study

description: As marine ecosystems decline globally, scientists recommend increasing the
 coverage of marine protected areas (MPAs), but many are not effectively
 managed to deliver benefits. Community integration into MPA
 decision-making can increase management effectiveness by supporting
 behaviour change, but this poses implementation challenges. We examine
 differences in adaptive capacity, community engagement, and perceived MPA
 benefits using interviews and focal group meetings with two fishing
 communities from MPAs with different management strategies and geographic
 settings: a centrally managed MPA in Kenya and a co-managed MPA in
 Tanzania. We hypothesized that perceptions of MPA benefits and MPA support
 would be higher among fishers and fish vendors in the more collaboratively
 designed system in Tanzania, and supported by greater adaptive capacity.
 Indeed, far fewer Kenyan participants (37%) felt they benefited from the
 MPA compared to Tanzanian participants (95%). However, agency and trust
 were largely similar and challenges existed in both systems that reduced
 collaborative action including low interaction/communication between staff
 and community, internal leadership challenges, and social conflict. We
 identified pathways towards improved co-management that transcend systems:
 institutional prioritization of community integration, investment in
 community leadership, mapping social networks during MPA establishment,
 and adequate staffing and operational budgets.

title: Dataset and scripts from: Predicting temperature mortality and selection in natural Drosophila populations

description: The study develops and validates a theoretical model to predict
 thermal mortality under natural conditions, based on measurements of
 mortality performed in the laboratory at multiple constant
 temperatures. The theoretical model first fits a thermal
 tolerance landscape, which describes how survival probability is
 affected by both temperature and exposure time, to the empirical
 measurements of mortality obtained in the laboratory under
 controlled conditions. Then, employing a numerical approximation
 to the analytical solution based on differential
 calculus, it combines this tolerance landscape
 with ambient temperature records in natural settings
 to predict the survival probability curve under
 these thermal conditions. These predictions were validated by
 contrasting predicted and observed mortality curves in 11 Drosophila
 species under three different warming rates, reported in the literature,
 which were virtually indistinguishable. Having validated the model, the
 study then examines how mortality should be affected
 by climate change in a natural population of Drosophila
 subobscura from Santiago, Chile, employing temperature records for this
 location during 1984 - 1991 and 2014 - 2018. The cumulative mortality
 predicted from temperature records closely
 resemble the periods of population collapse
 recorded for this population during the Austral
 summer and, according to the model, warming temperatures
 in the past 30 years may have advanced this period by almost a
 month. This methodology is highly general and can in principle be
 employed to predict temperature mortality in small ectotherms under any
 varying thermal regime.  
description: Datasets of Drosophila thermal mortality under constant and
 warming conditions, as well as data on seasonal abundances of Drosophila
 subobscura in the field,  were compiled from the literature. Ambient
 temperature records for 1984 - 1991 and 2014 - 2018 were obtained from
 climatological data available online from the Chilean government
 websites. The detailed sources are provided in the attached Readme.txt and

title: When fiction becomes fact: exaggerating host manipulation by parasites

description: In an era where some find fake news around every corner, the use of
 sensationalism has inevitably found its way into the scientific
 literature. This is especially the case for host manipulation by
 parasites, a phenomenon in which a parasite causes remarkable change in
 the appearance or behaviour of its host. This concept, which has
 deservedly garnered popular interest throughout the world in recent years,
 is nearly 50-years old. In the past two decades, the use of scientific
 metaphors, including anthropomorphisms and science fiction, to describe
 host manipulation has become more and more prevalent. It is possible that
 the repeated use of such catchy, yet misleading words in both the popular
 media and the scientific literature could unintentionally hamper our
 understanding of the complexity and extent of host manipulation,
 ultimately shaping its narrative in part or in full. In this commentary,
 the impacts of exaggerating host manipulation are brought to light by
 examining trends in the use of embellishing words. By looking at key
 examples of exaggerated claims from widely reported host-parasite systems
 found in the recent scientific literature, it would appear that some of
 the fiction surrounding host manipulation has since become fact.

title: A comprehensive and comparative evaluation of primers for metabarcoding eDNA from fish

description: Accurate assessments of fish species diversity and community composition
 are essential for understanding fish ecology and conservation management.
 Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has become an integrated method for
 monitoring fish species. The accuracy and efficacy of eDNA metabarcoding
 relies heavily on the choice of primers used for PCR amplification. A wide
 selection of metabarcoding primers for fish has been developed; however,
 there exists no comprehensive and comparative evaluation of their
 amplification or taxonomic classification of a rich diversity of fish
 species, which hinders informed decisions regarding their suitability for
 different study systems. Here, we reviewed the literature and compiled a
 list of 22 primer sets for eDNA-based metabarcoding analysis of teleost
 fish, the performance of which was compared using in silico PCR, followed
 by in vitro metabarcoding analysis using eDNA from waterbodies in Beijing,
 which harbour a high number of freshwater fish species. We found that the
 primers showed considerable differences in the amplified taxonomic ranges
 and proportions, fish taxa richness, species discrimination power, and
 fish community compositions, both in silico and in vitro. The number of
 fish taxa detected from eDNA by the primer sets varied from 0 to 66.
 Primers targeting the 12S rRNA gene generally detected greater fish
 diversity than those targeting the 16S rRNA or COI genes, while primers
 targeting the cytochrome b gene amplified the fewest fish taxa in vitro.
 4. Regarding target genes, 12S primers generally outperformed other
 primers in terms of amplified fish diversity. The results of in silico PCR
 and in vitro tests were not always in agreement, suggesting that primer
 choice for biodiversity surveys should not be based solely on in silico
 evaluation. The use of different primers can qualitatively and
 quantitatively affect the detected biodiversity and these effects should
 be considered in experimental design and data interpretation. These
 results will assist with primer selection for eDNA-based fish surveys, and
 consequently support conservation of freshwater biodiversity.

title: Database from forest inventory of the different states and provinces of western North America

description: The climate variables effect on tree growth in boreal and temperate
 forests has received increased interest in the global context of climate
 change. However, most studies are often limited to local or regional
 scales and involved a few tree species. Here, sixteen tree species across
 western North America were used to investigate tree response to climate
 change at the species range scale. Forest inventory databases from 36,944
 stands established between1600 and 1968 throughout western Canada and USA
 were summarized. Height growth (total height at breast-height age of 50
 years) of healthy dominant and co-dominant trees were related to climate
 variables (annual and summer temperature, annual and summer Palmer Drought
 Severity Index) and tree establishment date (ED) using general linear
 model. Climate-induced height growth patterns were then tested to
 determine possible links to spatial environment (soil conditions and
 geographic locations), species range (coastal, interior, and both ranges)
 and species traits (shade tolerance and leaf form). Climate variables had
 a positive effect on height growth for most of the study species, except
 for a negative relationship of Alaska yellow-cedar height growth to ED.
 All explaining variables and the interactions explained 57.2% of the total
 species height growth variance. Although tree height growth response was
 species-specific, increased height growth during the 20th century was more
 pronounced for coastal ranged species, high shade tolerant species, and
 broadleaf species. Furthermore, height growth increase occurred mostly on
 rich soil, at the northernmost species range, and, unexpectedly, at lower
 elevations. A decline in height growth for some species further north and
 higher in elevation possibly related to increased precipitation and
 cloudiness, drought conditions in interior areas, or to the peculiarity of
 western North America topography. These results highlight the spatial and
 temporal complexity of the growth response patterns at the species range
 to recent global climate change.
