title: Data from: Pathogens manipulate the preference of vectors, slowing disease spread in a multi-host system

description: The spread of vector‐borne pathogens depends on a complex set of
 interactions among pathogen, vector, and host. In single‐host systems,
 pathogens can induce changes in vector preferences for infected vs.
 healthy hosts. Yet it is unclear if pathogens also induce changes in
 vector preference among host species, and how changes in vector behaviour
 alter the ecological dynamics of disease spread. Here, we couple
 multi‐host preference experiments with a novel model of vector preference
 general to both single and multi‐host communities. We show that
 viruliferous aphids exhibit strong preferences for healthy and long‐lived
 hosts. Coupling experimental results with modelling to account for
 preference leads to a strong decrease in overall pathogen spread through
 multi‐host communities due to non‐random sorting of viruliferous vectors
 between preferred and non‐preferred host species. Our results demonstrate
 the importance of the interplay between vector behaviour and host
 diversity as a key mechanism in the spread of vectored‐diseases.

title: Data from: Accuracy of identifications of mammal species from camera trap images: a northern Australian case study

description: Camera traps are a powerful and increasingly popular tool for mammal
 research, but like all survey methods, they have limitations. Identifying
 animal species from images is a critical component of camera trap studies,
 yet while researchers recognize constraints with experimental design or
 camera technology, image misidentification is still not well understood.
 We evaluated the effects of a species’ attributes (body mass and
 distinctiveness) and individual observer variables (experience and
 confidence) on the accuracy of mammal identifications from camera trap
 images. We conducted an Internet‐based survey containing 20 questions
 about observer experience and 60 camera trap images to identify. Images
 were sourced from surveys in northern Australia and included 25 species,
 ranging in body mass from the delicate mouse (Pseudomys delicatulus, 10 g)
 to the agile wallaby (Macropus agilis, &gt;10 kg). There was a weak
 relationship between the accuracy of mammal identifications and observer
 experience. However, accuracy was highest (100%) for distinctive species
 (e.g. Short‐beaked echidna [Tachyglossus aculeatus]) and lowest (36%) for
 superficially non‐distinctive mammals (e.g. rodents like the Pale
 field‐rat [Rattus tunneyi]). There was a positive relationship between the
 accuracy of identifications and body mass. Participant confidence was
 highest for large and distinctive mammals, but was not related to
 participant experience level. Identifications made with greater confidence
 were more likely to be accurate. Unreliability in identifications of
 mammal species is a significant limitation to camera trap studies,
 particularly where small mammals are the focus, or where similar‐looking
 species co‐occur. Integration of camera traps with conventional survey
 techniques (e.g. live‐trapping), use of a reference library or
 computer‐automated programs are likely to aid positive identifications,
 while employing a confidence rating system and/or multiple observers may
 lead to a collection of more robust data. Although our study focussed on
 Australian species, our findings apply to camera trap studies globally.

title: Data from: Pathobiological features favoring the intercontinental dissemination of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus

description: Avian influenza viruses (AIV) are a continued threat to global health and
 economy. Unlike other highly pathogenic AIV, novel H5N8 disseminated very
 quickly from Korea to other areas in Asia, Europe, and even North America
 following its first outbreak in 2014. However, the pathobiological
 features of the virus that favored its global translocation remain
 unknown. In this study, we used a compartmental model to examine the avian
 epidemiological characteristics that would support the geographic spread
 of influenza by bird migration, and to provide recommendations for AIV
 surveillance in wild bird populations. We simulated virus transmission and
 translocation in a migratory bird population while varying four system
 properties: 1) contact transmission rate; 2) infection recovery rate; 3)
 mortality rate induced by infection; and 4) migratory recovery rate. Using
 these simulations, we then calculated extinction and translocation
 probabilities for influenza during spring migration as a function of the
 altered properties. We find that lower infection recovery rates increase
 the likelihood of AIV translocation in migratory bird populations. In
 addition, lower mortality rates or migration recovery rates also favor
 translocation. Our results identify pathobiological features supporting
 AIV intercontinental dissemination risk and suggest that characteristic
 differences exist among H5N8 and other AIV subtypes that have not
 translocated as rapidly (e.g. H5N6 and H5N1).

title: Data from: Early-life lessons of the courtship dance in a dance-duetting songbird, the Java sparrow

description: Vocal-learners, such as songbirds, must practice singing in a
 developmentally sensitive period to master songs. Yet, knowledge remains
 limited about the development of visual displays in birds, even when
 courtship includes well-coordinated vocalizations (songs) and body
 motions. The Java sparrow (Lonchura oryzivora) is a species of songbird
 that exhibits a courtship duet dancing exchange between the sexes, with
 this behaviour driving mating success. In this study, juvenile male Java
 sparrows were observed in captivity, showing that they repeatedly practice
 the courtship dance in their early life. We called it ‘practice’, as
 juvenile birds frequently dance towards family members or other juveniles
 well before sexual maturation. Based on our observation that dance motor
 performance increased with age, we assume that the practice is needed for
 motor training. In addition, it could also be important for establishing
 vocal-motional coordination or socialization. Older juveniles gradually
 became capable of singing and dancing simultaneously, and participated in
 duet dancing more often. We also found that repeated encounters with the
 same individual promote dance movement. Though our results do not show how
 much social experiences account for the development of dance
 communication, early-life dance practicing might influence future
 reproductive success, like song practicing does so.

title: Data from: The effect of drought and season on root life span in temperate arbuscular mycorrhizal and ectomycorrhizal tree species

description: 1. Fine roots play a key role in carbon (C) and nutrient cycling, since
 fine root lifespan drives soil organic C input and, thus, N availability.
 The two principal fungal symbioses found in temperate forest trees,
 ectomycorrhizae (ECM) and arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM), induce different
 root morphological changes upon infection, but the consequences for root
 lifespan are not clear. 2. We explored differences in fine root lifespan
 between four AM and four ECM tree species using mini-rhizotrons in a
 factorial drought experiment in large mesocosms. 3. Median root lifespan
 of young AM and ECM trees differed fundamentally in its response to soil
 moisture and season of root birth: ECM root lifespan was reduced from 176
 to 81 d in dry soil compared to moist soil, independent of season. By
 contrast, AM root lifespan was less responsive to drought, but decreased
 from 185 to 127 d when comparing roots produced early in the growing
 season vs. mid-season. In both mycorrhizal types, root lifespan was
 positively related to root diameter and negatively to the portion of
 lower-order roots. 4. Synthesis. While our results indicate morphological
 and architectural traits that predict root lifespan across tree species,
 they also indicate principal differences in the environmental response of
 root lifespan in young AM and ECM trees. This knowledge helps to improve
 global predictions of root lifespan.

title: Data from: Multi-variable approach pinpoints origin of oak wood with higher precision

description: Aim: Spatial variations of environmental conditions translate into
 biogeographic growth patterns of tree growth. This fact is used to
 identify the origin of timber by means of dendroprovenancing. Yet,
 dendroprovenancing attempts are based on ring-widths measurements, and
 neglect additional tree-ring parameters. To explore the effect of
 including additional variables in dendroprovenancing, we investigate
 whether and, if so, why the incorporation of wood-anatomical parameters
 can increase the precision of identifying the origin of oak wood. Since
 such features reflect environmental conditions of different periods –
 which vary between source regions – we hypothesize that their inclusion
 allows more precise dendroprovenancing. Location: Europe, Spain. Taxon:
 Quercus robur L., Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl., Quercus faginea Lam.,
 Quercus pyrenaica Willd. Methods: We sampled four oak species resembling a
 longitudinal and an elevational/continental gradients. We measured
 multiple tree-ring variables to (1) extract meaningful variables, (2)
 represent statistical relations among variables, (3) analyse
 regional-specific growth patterns in individual time series and (4)
 determine underlying climate-growth relationships. Leave-one-out analyses
 were used to test whether a combination of selected variables allows
 dendroprovenancing of a randomly selected tree within the area. Results: A
 combination of latewood width and earlywood vessels size can be used to
 pin-point the origin of oak wood with higher precision than latewood width
 only. Variation in latewood widths appointed the wood to areas across the
 longitudinal gradient, whereas variation in vessels assigned wood to
 locations along a latitudinal/topographic gradient. The climatic factors
 behind these gradients are respectively an East-West gradient in June-July
 temperature, and a North-South gradient in winter/ spring temperatures.
 The leave-one-out analyses supported the robustness of the results. Main
 conclusions: Integration of multiple tree-ring variables in combination
 with multivariate techniques leads to higher precision in the
 dendroprovenancing of ring-porous oak species.

title: Data from: Avian functional responses to landscape recovery

description: Restoring native vegetation in agricultural landscapes can reverse
 biodiversity declines via species gains. Depending on whether the traits
 of colonizers are complementary or redundant to the assemblage, species
 gains can increase the efficiency or stability of ecological functions,
 yet detecting these processes is not straightforward. We propose a new
 conceptual model to identify potential changes to complementarity and
 redundancy in response to landscape change via relative changes in
 taxonomic and functional richness. We applied our model to a 14-year study
 of birds across an extensive agricultural region. We found compelling
 evidence that high levels of landscape-scale tree cover and patch-scale
 restoration were significant determinants of functional change in the
 overall bird assemblage. This was true for every one of the six traits
 investigated individually, indicating increased trait-specific functional
 complementarity and redundancy in the assemblage. Applying our conceptual
 model to species diversity data provided new insights into how the return
 of vertebrates to restored landscapes may affect ecological function.

title: Data from: Facing death together: heterospecific aggregations of blowfly larvae evince mutual benefits

description: Heterospecific aggregations and foraging associations have been observed
 between different species, from apes to birds to insects. Such
 associations are hypothesized to result in a mutually beneficial
 relationship entailing benefits that are not apparent in conspecific
 groupings. Therefore, the objectives of the present study were to
 investigate (i) how three blowfly species, namely, Calliphora vicina, C.
 vomitoria and Lucilia sericata, aggregate according to species, and (ii)
 if developmental benefits are linked to heterospecific aggregation. For
 objective (i), larvae of two species were placed between two conspecific
 aggregates, each with a different species (i.e., a binary choice test).
 After 20 hours, the positions of all larvae were determined. On average,
 98% of the maggots added later settled together on one of the two
 pre-existing aggregations, demonstrating a collective choice. The
 aggregation spot with C. vicina was preferred against others, indicating
 different attractiveness of different species. To relate this behavior to
 its benefits (objective ii), C. vicina and L. sericata larvae were raised
 from first instar to adult in con- and heterospecific conditions, and
 their development time, mortality rates and morphometrics were measured.
 Thereby, mutual and asymmetric consequences were observed: specifically,
 there were significant increases in size and survival for L. sericata and
 faster development for C. vicina in heterospecific groups. These results
 indicate that the predilection for heterospecific association leads to
 mutual developmental benefits. This heterospecific aggregation behaviour
 may be a resource-management strategy of blowflies to face carrion-based
 selection pressure.

title: Data from: Release from intralocus sexual conflict? Evolved loss of a male sexual trait demasculinises female gene expression

description: The loss of sexual ornaments is observed across taxa, and pleiotropic
 effects of such losses provide an opportunity to gain insight into
 underlying dynamics of sex-biased gene expression and intralocus sexual
 conflict (IASC). We investigated this in a Hawaiian field cricket,
 Teleogryllus oceanicus, in which an X-linked genotype (flatwing) feminises
 males’ wings and eliminates their ability to produce sexually selected
 songs. We profiled adult gene expression across somatic and reproductive
 tissues of both sexes. Despite the feminising effect of flatwing on male
 wings, we found no evidence of feminised gene expression in males.
 Instead, female transcriptomes were more strongly affected by flatwing
 than males’, and exhibited demasculinised gene expression. These findings
 are consistent with a relaxation of IASC constraining female gene
 expression through loss of a male sexual ornament. In a follow-up
 experiment we found reduced testes mass in flatwing males, whereas female
 carriers showed no reduction in egg production. In contrast, female
 carriers exhibited greater measures of body condition. Our results suggest
 sex-limited phenotypic expression offers only partial resolution to
 intralocus sexual conflict, owing to pleiotropic effects of the loci
 involved. Benefits conferred by release from intralocus conflict could
 help explain widespread loss of sexual ornaments across taxa.

title: Data from: Gentamicin-loaded silk/nanosilver composite scaffolds for MRSA-induced chronic osteomyelitis

description: Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) often induces chronic
 osteomyelitis and then bone defects. Here, gentamicin-loaded
 silk/nanosilver composite scaffolds were developed to treat MRSA-induced
 chronic osteomyelitis. AgNO3 was reduced with silk as a reducing agent in
 formic acid, forming silver nanoparticles in situ that were distributed
 uniformly in the composite scaffolds. Superior antibacterial properties
 against MRSA were achieved for the composite scaffolds, without the
 compromise of osteogenesis capacity. Then gentamicin was loaded on the
 scaffolds for better treatment of osteomyelitis. In vivo results showed
 effective inhibition of the growth of MRSA bacteria, confirming the
 promising future in the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis.

title: Data from: Sex-biased lncRNAs inversely correlate with sex-opposite gene co-expression networks in diversity outbred mouse liver

description: Sex differences in liver gene expression are determined by pituitary
 growth hormone secretion patterns, which regulate sex-dependent liver
 transcription factors and establish sex-specific chromatin states.
 Hypophysectomy (hypox) identifies two major classes of liver sex-biased
 genes, defined by their sex-dependent positive or negative responses to
 pituitary hormone ablation; however, the mechanisms that underlie each
 hypox-response class are unknown. Here, we sought to discover candidate
 regulatory long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) controlling responsiveness to
 hypophysectomy. We characterized gene structures and expression patterns
 for 15,558 mouse liver-expressed lncRNAs, including many sex-specific
 lncRNAs regulated during postnatal development or subject to circadian
 regulation. Utilizing the high natural allelic variance of Diversity
 Outbred (DO) mice, we discovered tightly co-expressed clusters of
 sex-specific protein-coding genes (gene modules) in both male and female
 DO liver. Remarkably, many gene modules were strongly enriched for
 sex-specific genes within a single hypox-response class, indicating that
 the genetic heterogeneity of DO mice encompasses responsiveness to
 hypophysectomy. Moreover, several distant gene modules were enriched for
 gene subsets of the same hypox-response class, highlighting the complex
 regulation of hypox-responsiveness. Finally, we identified eight
 sex-specific lncRNAs with strong negative regulatory potential, as
 indicated by their strong negative correlation of expression across DO
 mouse livers with that of protein-coding gene modules enriched for genes
 of the opposite sex bias and inverse hypox-response class. These findings
 reveal an important role for genetic factors in regulating responsiveness
 to hypophysectomy, and present testable hypotheses for the roles of
 sex-biased liver lncRNAs in controlling the sex-bias of liver gene
 expression.

title: Data from: Local forage fish abundance influences foraging effort and offspring condition in an Endangered marine predator

description: 1. Understanding the functional relationship between marine predators and
 their prey is vital to inform ecosystem-based management. However,
 collecting concurrent data on predator behaviour and their prey at
 relevant scales is challenging. Moreover, opportunities to study these
 relationships in the absence of industrial fishing are extremely rare. 2.
 We took advantage of an experimental fisheries closure to study how local
 prey abundance influences foraging success and chick condition of
 Endangered African penguins Spheniscus demersus in the Benguela Ecosystem.
 3. We tracked 75 chick-provisioning penguins with GPS-time-depth devices,
 measured body condition of 569 chicks, quantified the diet of 83 breeding
 penguins and conducted 12 forage fish hydro-acoustic surveys within a 20
 km radius of Robben Island, South Africa, over three years (2011–2013).
 Commercial fishing for the penguins’ main prey, sardine Sardinops sagax
 and anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus, was prohibited within this 20 km
 radius during the study period. 4. Local forage fish abundance explained
 60% of the variation in time spent diving for 14 penguins at sea within 2
 days of a hydro-acoustic survey. Penguin foraging effort (time spent
 diving, number of wiggles per trip, number of foraging dives and the
 maximum distance travelled) increased and offspring body condition
 decreased as forage fish abundance declined. In addition, quantile
 regression revealed that variation in foraging effort increased as prey
 abundance around the colony declined. 5. Policy implications. Our results
 demonstrate that local forage fish abundance influences seabird foraging
 and offspring fitness. They also highlight the potential for offspring
 condition and the mean-variance relationship in foraging behaviour to act
 as leading indicators of poor prey abundance. By rapidly indicating
 periods where forage resources are scarce, these metrics could help limit
 seabird-fisheries competition and aid the implementation of dynamic ocean
 management.
