title: Data from: Can ecosystem functioning be maintained despite climate-driven shifts in species composition? Insights from novel marine forests

description: 1. Climate change is driving a redistribution of species and
 reconfiguration of ecological communities at a global scale. Persistent
 warming in many regions has caused species to extend their geographical
 ranges into new habitats, with thermally-tolerant species often becoming
 competitively dominant over species with colder affinities. Although these
 climate-driven changes in species abundance and diversity are well
 documented, their ecosystem-level implications are poorly understood, and
 resolving whether reconfigured communities can maintain fundamental
 ecosystem functions represents a pressing challenge in an increasingly
 warmer world. 2. Here, we investigated how climate-driven substitutions of
 foundation species influence processes associated with carbon and nutrient
 cycling (biomass production, detritus flow, herbivory, decomposition) by
 comparing two habitat-forming kelp species with contrasting thermal
 affinities. We examined the wider consequences of the observed (and
 predicted) emergence of novel marine forests in the NE Atlantic, which are
 expected to become more dominated by range-expanding, warm-temperate
 kelps. 3. Warm-temperate kelps both accumulated and released 80% more
 biomass than the cold-temperate species despite being taxonomically
 closely-related and morphologically similar. Furthermore, the
 warm-temperate species accumulated biomass and released detritus
 year-round, whereas the cold-temperate species did so during short,
 discrete periods. The warm-temperate kelps supported higher densities of
 invertebrate grazers and were a preferred food source. Finally, their
 detritus decomposed 6.5 times faster, despite supporting comparable
 numbers of detritivores. Overall, our results indicate an important shift
 in the cycling of organic matter in kelp forests along parts of the NE
 Atlantic coastline following climate-driven expansion of a warm-affinity
 kelp, with novel forests supplying large amounts of
 temporally-continuous—yet highly labile—organic matter. 4. Synthesis.
 Collectively, our results show that, like species invasions,
 climate-driven range expansions and consequent shifts in the identity of
 dominant species can modify a wide range of important ecosystem processes.
 However, alterations in overall ecosystem functioning may be relatively
 limited where foundation species share similar ecological and functional
 traits.

title: Data from: Islands within islands: two montane paleo-endemic birds impacted by recent anthropogenic fragmentation

description: Anthropogenic habitat fragmentation of species that live in naturally
 patchy metapopulations such as mountaintops or sky islands experiences two
 levels of patchiness. Effects of such multilevel patchiness on species
 have rarely been examined. Metapopulation theory suggests that patchy
 habitats could have varied impacts on persistence, dependent on
 differential migration. It is not known whether montane endemic species,
 evolutionarily adapted to natural patchiness, are able to disperse between
 anthropogenic fragments at similar spatial scales as natural patches. We
 investigated historic and contemporary gene flow between natural and
 anthropogenic patches across the distribution range of a Western Ghats
 sky-island-endemic bird species complex. Data from 14 microsatellites for
 218 individuals detected major genetic structuring by deep valleys,
 including one hitherto undescribed barrier. As expected, we found strong
 effects of historic genetic differentiation across natural patches, but
 not across anthropogenic fragments. Contrastingly, contemporary
 differentiation (DPS) was higher relative to historic differentiation
 (FST) in anthropogenic fragments, despite the species’ ability to
 historically traverse shallow valleys. Simulations of recent isolation
 resulted in high DPS/FST values, confirming recent isolation in Western
 Ghats anthropogenic fragments and also suggesting that this ratio can be
 used to identifying recent fragmentation in the context of historic
 connectedness. We suggest that in this landscape, in addition to natural
 patchiness affecting population connectivity, anthropogenic fragmentation
 additionally impacts connectivity, making anthropogenic fragments akin to
 islands within natural islands of montane habitat, a pattern that may be
 recovered in other sky-island systems.

title: Data from: Transcontinental latitudinal variation in song performance and complexity in House Wrens (Troglodytes aedon)

description: There is growing interest in latitudinal effects on animal behavior and
 life-history. One recent focus is on birdsong which is hypothesized to be
 more elaborated or complex in the north temperate zone compared to the
 tropics. Current evidence is mixed and based on cross-species comparisons,
 or single species with restricted distributions. We circumvent these
 limitations using a transcontinental sample of 358 songs from House Wrens
 (Troglodytes aedon) at 281 locations spanning more than 100O of latitude
 (52 O N - 55 O S) across the Americas. We found a significant latitudinal
 gradient in several basic elements of song performance and complexity
 between north temperate and tropical populations. Further, we document
 convergence in song patterns between populations at higher latitudes in
 the northern and southern hemispheres. Effects were strongest for the
 number of elements in a song, and the rate of element production, both
 increasing towards the poles, with similar but weaker effects for other
 song dimensions (e.g., number of unique elements, trills, and trill rate).
 We consider possible causes related to variable habitats and morphology,
 concluding that the shorter breeding seasons at higher latitudes in both
 hemispheres may favor greater song elaboration to mediate territory
 competition and mate choice.

title: Data from: High genetic diversity and distinctiveness of rear-edge climate relicts maintained by ancient tetraploidisation for Alnus glutinosa

description: Populations located at the rear-edge of a species’ distribution may have
 disproportionate ecological and evolutionary importance for biodiversity
 conservation in a changing global environment. Yet genetic studies of such
 populations remain rare. This study investigates the evolutionary history
 of North-African low latitude marginal populations of Alnus glutinosa
 Gaertn., a European tree species that plays a significant ecological role
 as a keystone of riparian ecosystems. We genotyped 551 adults from 19
 populations located across North Africa at 12 microsatellite loci and
 applied a coalescent-based simulation approach to reconstruct the
 demographic and evolutionary history of these populations. Surprisingly,
 Moroccan trees were tetraploids demonstrating a strong distinctiveness of
 these populations within a species otherwise known as diploid.
 Best-fitting models of demographic reconstruction revealed the relict
 nature of Moroccan populations that were found to have withstood past
 climate change events and to be much older than Algerian and Tunisian
 populations. This study highlights the complex demographic history that
 can be encountered in rear-edge distribution margins that here consist of
 both old stable climate relict and more recent populations, distinctively
 diverse genetically both quantitatively and qualitatively. We emphasize
 the high evolutionary and conservation value of marginal rear-edge
 populations of a keystone riparian species in the context of on-going
 climate change in the Mediterranean region.

title: Data from: Duetting behavior varies with sex, season, and singing role in a tropical oriole (Icterus icterus)

description: Females and males of many animals combine their vocalizations into
 coordinated acoustic duets. Duets can mediate both cooperation and
 conflict between partners, and are common in tropical, sedentary species
 that may use duets for multiple functions year-round. To elucidate the
 full range of duet functions, we need to study the individual-level
 behaviors that generate duets throughout the year. We evaluated multiple
 functions of duetting behavior in female and male Venezuelan troupials
 (Icterus icterus) during the breeding and non-breeding seasons, including
 territory defense, maintaining contact with a mate, and paternity
 guarding. In both sexes during both seasons, song initiation rates were
 predicted by conspecific solo and duet rates. However, troupials were more
 likely to answer their mate to form duets after conspecific duets than
 after conspecific solos, supporting a territory defense function of duets.
 Troupials that answered their mate to form duets were also more likely to
 move toward their mate (than duet initiators and soloists), suggesting
 that duet participation also functions to maintain contact. During the
 breeding season, males were particularly likely to fly toward their mate
 after answering to form a duet. This finding may indicate that males
 answer to guard paternity, although other predictions of paternity
 guarding are not supported. Examining individual-level behaviors during
 both the breeding and non-breeding season revealed multiple functions of
 troupial duets. Our results are consistent with social selection acting on
 females and males to maintain contact and territories year-round, and
 possibly sexual selection on males for functions tied to the breeding
 season.

title: Data from: Intensive forest harvesting increases susceptibility of northern forest soils to carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus loss

description: 1. Understanding the impact of forest harvesting is critical to
 sustainable forest management, yet there remains much uncertainty
 regarding how harvesting affects soil carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and
 phosphorus (P) dynamics. 2. Here we conducted a global meta-analysis of
 808 observations from 49 studies to test the effects of harvesting on the
 stocks and concentrations of soil C, N, and P and C:N:P ratios relative to
 uncut control stands. 3. With all harvesting intensities combined, C stock
 was unaffected by harvesting in either the forest floor or mineral soil,
 while harvesting reduced forest floor [C], [N], and [P] and C:N ratio,
 increased the mineral soil [C] and C:N ratio, but reduced mineral soil N
 stock,. The impacts of harvesting on forest floor C and N stocks, C:P and
 N:P and mineral soil [C] and [N] changed from no effects by partial,
 stem-only and whole-tree harvesting to significantly negative effects by
 the harvesting coupled with fire. Stem-only and whole-tree harvesting
 similarly reduced forest floor [P]. The negative effects of harvesting
 were most pronounced in conifer stands. Soil [C], [N] and C:N decreased
 with time since harvesting, but soil [P] did not, resulting in an increase
 in forest floor N:P. 4. Synthesis and applications. Our findings highlight
 the importance of harvest intensity and rotation length on long-term soil
 nutrient availability when managing forests. Furthermore, the lag in [P]
 recovery following harvesting may indicate a decoupling of the P cycle
 from that of C and N and a potential concern in managed forests.

title: Data from: Preen oil chemical composition encodes individuality, seasonal variation and kinship in black kites Milvus migrans

description: Evidence that bird odour can encode social information that can be used in
 chemical communication is growing, but is restricted to a few taxonomic
 groups. Among birds, diurnal raptors (i.e. birds from the Accipitriformes
 and Falconiformes order) have always been considered as mainly relying on
 their visual abilities. Although they seem to have a functional sense of
 smell, whether their odour can convey social information has yet to be
 determined. Combining gas-chromatography-mass-spectrometry (GCMS) and
 microsatellite data, we tested whether chemical compounds from preen gland
 secretions can encode sex, age, individuality, seasonal differences and
 genetic relatedness in the gregarious accipitriform black kite Milvus
 migrans. While no differences in preen oil composition were found between
 age classes, an individual signature was detected. While a seasonal
 variation was found in both sexes, compounds differ between sexes in the
 non-breeding season. Finally, a significant correlation between chemical
 proximity and genetic proximity was detected in male-male dyads and
 male-female dyads but not in female-female dyads. Our study provides the
 first evidence in raptors that preen secretion can convey information that
 may potentially be used in individual recognition, reproductive
 synchronization and inbreeding avoidance, and suggests that raptors may
 rely upon their olfactory abilities more than previously thought. This
 study opens promising avenues for further studies in raptor chemical
 communication.

title: Data from: Effects of parasitism on aphid nutritional and protective symbioses

description: Insects often carry heritable symbionts that negotiate interactions with
 food plants or natural enemies. All pea aphids, Acyrthosiphon pisum,
 require infection with the nutritional symbiont Buchnera, and many are
 also infected with Hamiltonella, which protects against the parasitoid
 Aphidius ervi. Hamiltonella-based protection requires bacteriophages
 called APSEs with protection levels varying by strain and associated APSE.
 Endoparasitoids, including A. ervi, may benefit from protecting the
 nutritional symbiosis and suppressing the protective one, while the aphid
 and its heritable symbionts have aligned interests when attacked by the
 wasp. We investigated the effects of parasitism on the abundance of aphid
 nutritional and protective symbionts. First, we determined strength of
 protection associated with multiple symbiont strains and aphid genotypes
 as these likely impact symbiont responses. Unexpectedly, some A. pisum
 genotypes cured of facultative symbionts were resistant to parasitism and
 resistant aphid lines carried Hamiltonella strains that conferred no
 additional protection. Susceptible aphid clones carried protective
 strains. qPCR estimates show that parasitism significantly influenced both
 Buchnera and Hamiltonella titres, with multiple factors contributing to
 variation. In susceptible lines, parasitism led to increases in Buchnera
 near the time of larval wasp emergence consistent with parasite
 manipulation, but effects were variable in resistant lines. Parasitism
 also resulted in increases in APSE and subsequent decreases in
 Hamiltonella, and we discuss how this response may relate to the
 protective phenotype. In summary, we show that parasitism alters the
 within-host ecology of both nutritional and protective symbioses with
 effects likely significant for all players in this antagonistic
 interaction.

title: Data from: Patient factors that influence decision-making in self-management support: a clinical vignette study

description: Background and aim: Self-management support is an integral part of current
 chronic care guidelines. The success of self-management interventions
 varies between individual patients, suggesting a need for tailored
 self-management support. Understanding the role of patient factors in the
 current decision making of health professionals can support future
 tailoring of self-management interventions. The aim of this study is to
 identify the relative importance of patient factors in health
 professionals’ decision making regarding self-management support. Method:
 A factorial survey was presented to primary care physicians and nurses.
 The survey consisted of clinical vignettes (case descriptions), in which
 11 patient factors were systematically varied. Each care provider received
 a set of 12 vignettes. For each vignette, they decided whether they would
 give this patient self-management support and whether they expected this
 support to be successful. The associations between respondent decisions
 and patient factors were explored using ordered logit regression. Results:
 The survey was completed by 60 general practitioners and 80 nurses.
 Self-management support was unlikely to be provided in a third of the
 vignettes. The most important patient factor in the decision to provide
 self-management support as well as in the expectation that self-management
 support would be successful was motivation, followed by patient-provider
 relationship and illness perception. Other factors, such as depression or
 anxiety, education level, self-efficacy and social support, had a small
 impact on decisions. Disease, disease severity, knowledge of disease, and
 age were relatively unimportant factors. Conclusion: This is the first
 study to explore the relative importance of patient factors in decision
 making and the expectations regarding the provision of self-management
 support to chronic disease patients. By far, the most important factor
 considered was patient’s motivation; unmotivated patients were less likely
 to receive self-management support. Future tailored interventions should
 incorporate strategies to enhance motivation in unmotivated patients.
 Furthermore, care providers should be better equipped to promote
 motivational change in their patients.

title: Data from: Outcomes of co-infection by two potyviruses: implications for the evolution of manipulative strategies

description: Recent studies have documented effects of plant-viruses on host plants
 that appear to enhance transmission by insect vectors. But, almost no
 empirical work has explored the implications of such apparent manipulation
 for interactions among co-infecting pathogens. We examined single and
 mixed infections of two potyviruses, Watermelon mosaic virus (WMV) and
 Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV), that frequently co-occur in
 cucurbitaceae populations and share the same aphid vectors. We found that
 ZYMV isolates replicated at similar rates in single and mixed infections,
 while WMV strains accumulated to signficantly lower levels in the presence
 of ZYMV. Furthermore, ZYMV induced changes in leaf colour and volatile
 emissions that enhanced aphid (Aphis gossypii) recruitment to infected
 plants. In contrast, WMV did not elicit strong effects on plant-aphid
 interactions. Nevertheless, WMV was still readily transmitted from mixed
 infections, despite fairing poorly in in-plant competition. These findings
 suggest that pathogen effects on host-vector interactions may well
 influence competition among co-infecting pathogens. For example, if
 non-manipulative pathogens benefit from the increased vector traffic
 elicited by manipulative competitors, their costs of competition may be
 mitigated to some extent. Conversely, the benefits of manipulation may be
 limited by free-rider effects in systems where there is strong competition
 among pathogens for host resources and/or access to vectors.
