title: Data from: The future distribution of the savannah biome: model-based and biogeographic contingency

description: The extent of the savanna biome is expected to be profoundly altered by
 climatic change and increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Contrasting
 projections are given when using different modelling approaches to
 estimate future distributions. Furthermore, biogeographic variation within
 savannas in plant function and structure is expected to lead to divergent
 responses to global change. Hence the use of a single model with a single
 savanna tree type will likely lead to biased projections. Here we compare
 and contrast projections of South American, African, and Australian
 savanna distributions from a physiologically-based statistical
 distribution model - the Thornley transport resistance model (TTR-SDM) -
 and three versions of a dynamic vegetation model (DVM) designed and
 parameterized separately for specific continents. We show that attempting
 to extrapolate any continent-specific model globally biases projections.
 By 2070 all DVMs generally project a decrease in the extent of savannas at
 their boundary with forests, whereas the TTR-SDM projects a decrease in
 savannas at their boundary with aridlands and grasslands. This difference
 is driven by forest and woodland expansion in response to rising
 atmospheric CO2 concentrations in DVMs, unaccounted for by the TTR-SDM. We
 suggest that the most suitable models of the savanna biome for future
 development are individual-based dynamic vegetation models designed for
 specific biogeographic regions.

title: Data from: Genetic component of flammability variation in a Mediterranean shrub

description: Recurrent fires impose a strong selection pressure in many ecosystems
 worldwide. In such ecosystems, plant flammability is of paramount
 importance because it enhances population persistence, particularly in
 non-resprouting species. Indeed, there is evidence of phenotypic
 divergence of flammability under different fire regimes. Our general
 hypothesis is that flammability-enhancing traits are adaptive; here we
 test whether they have a genetic component. To test this hypothesis we
 used the post-fire obligate seeder Ulex parviflorus from sites
 historically exposed to different fire recurrence. We associated molecular
 variation in potentially adaptive loci detected with a genomic scan (using
 AFLP markers) to individual phenotypic variability in flammability across
 fire regimes. We found that at least 42% of the phenotypic variation in
 flammability was explained by the genetic divergence in a subset of AFLP
 loci. In spite of generalised gene flow, the genetic variability was
 structured by differences in fire recurrence. Our results provide the
 first field evidence supporting that traits enhancing plant flammability
 have a genetic component and thus can be responding to natural selection
 driven by fire. These results highlight the importance of flammability as
 an adaptive trait in fire-prone ecosystems.

title: Data from: Does cooperation mean kinship between spatially discrete ant nests?

description: Eusociality is one of the most complex forms of social organization,
 characterized by cooperative and reproductive units termed colonies.
 Altruistic behavior of workers within colonies is explained by inclusive
 fitness, with indirect fitness benefits accrued by helping kin. Members of
 a social insect colony are expected to be more closely related to one
 another than they are to other conspecifics. In many social insects, the
 colony can extend to multiple socially connected but spatially separate
 nests (polydomy). Social connections, such as trails between nests,
 promote cooperation and resource exchange, and we predict that workers
 from socially connected nests will have higher internest relatedness than
 those from socially unconnected, and noncooperating, nests. We measure
 social connections, resource exchange, and internest genetic relatedness
 in the polydomous wood ant Formica lugubris to test whether (1) socially
 connected but spatially separate nests cooperate, and (2) high internest
 relatedness is the underlying driver of this cooperation. Our results show
 that socially connected nests exhibit movement of workers and resources,
 which suggests they do cooperate, whereas unconnected nests do not.
 However, we find no difference in internest genetic relatedness between
 socially connected and unconnected nest pairs, both show high kinship. Our
 results suggest that neighboring pairs of connected nests show a social
 and cooperative distinction, but no genetic distinction. We hypothesize
 that the loss of a social connection may initiate ecological divergence
 within colonies. Genetic divergence between neighboring nests may build up
 only later, as a consequence rather than a cause of colony separation.

title: Data from: Testing mechanisms of Bergmann's rule: phenotypic but no genetic change in body size in three passerine bird populations

description: Bergmann's rule predicts a decrease in body size with increasing
 temperature and has much empirical support. Surprisingly, we know very
 little about whether 'Bergmann size clines' are due to a genetic
 response or is a consequence of phenotypic plasticity. Here we use data on
 body size (mass and tarsus length) from three long-term (1979-2008) study
 populations of great tits (Parus major), in which there has been a
 temperature increase, to examine mechanisms behind Bergmann's rule.
 We show that adult body mass decreased over the study period in all
 populations and that tarsus length increased in one population. Both body
 mass and tarsus length were heritable and under weak positive directional
 selection, predicting an increase, rather than decrease, in body mass.
 There was no support for micro-evolutionary change and thus the observed
 declines in body mass were a result of phenotypic plasticity.
 Interestingly, this plasticity was not in direct response to temperature
 changes but seemed to be due to changes in prey dynamics. Our results
 caution against interpreting recent phenotypic body size declines as an
 adaptive evolutionary response to temperature changes and highlight the
 importance of considering alternative environmental factors when testing
 size clines.

title: Data from: Incubation temperature affects growth and energy metabolism in blue tit nestlings

description: Because the maintenance of proper developmental temperatures during avian
 incubation is costly to parents, embryos of many species experience
 pronounced variation in incubation temperature. However, the effects of
 such temperature variation on nestling development remain relatively
 unexplored. To investigate this we artificially incubated wild blue tit
 (Cyanistes caeruleus L.) clutches at 35.0 °C, 36.5 °C or 38.0 °C during
 two thirds of the incubation period. We returned clutches to their
 original nests prior to hatching and subsequently recorded nestling growth
 and resting metabolic rate. The length of the incubation period decreased
 with temperature whereas hatching success increased.. Nestlings from the
 lowest incubation temperature had shorter tarsus length at two weeks of
 age, but body mass and wing length were not affected by temperature. In
 addition, nestlings from the lowest temperature had a significantly higher
 resting metabolic rate compared to mid and high temperature nestlings,
 which may partly explain observed size differences between groups. These
 findings suggest that nest microclimate can influence nestling phenotype,
 but whether observed differences carry over to later life-history stages
 remains unknown.

title: Data from: The evolution of alternative adaptive strategies for effective communication in noisy environments

description: Animals communicating socially are expected to produce signals that are
 conspicuous within the habitats in which they live. The particular way in
 which a species adapts to its environment will depend on its ancestral
 condition and evolutionary history. At this point, it is unclear how
 properties of the environment and historical factors interact to shape
 communication. Tropical Anolis lizards advertise territorial ownership
 using visual displays in habitats where visual motion or ‘noise’ from
 windblown vegetation poses an acute problem for the detection of display
 movements. We studied eight Anolis species that live in similar noise
 environments, but belong to separate island radiations with divergent
 evolutionary histories. We found that species on Puerto Rico displayed at
 times when their signals were more likely to be detected by neighboring
 males and females (during periods of low noise). In contrast, species on
 Jamaica displayed irrespective of the level of environmental motion,
 apparently because these species have a display that is effective in a
 range of viewing conditions. Our findings appear to reflect a case of
 species originating from different evolutionary starting points evolving
 different signal strategies for effective communication in noisy
 environments.

title: Data from: A test for a cost of opportunism in invasive species in the Commelinaceae

description: Many invasive species can respond opportunistically to favorable growing
 conditions. In a previous work, we found that invasive species in the
 family Commelinaceae were more opportunistic than their noninvasive
 congeners and could therefore outperform noninvasive relatives in an
 environment with abundant resources and no competition. Contrary to the
 expectation that superior performance under favorable conditions comes at
 the cost of reduced performance under stressful conditions, invasive
 species did not perform more poorly relative to noninvasive congeners
 under any conditions we examined. Here we expand our search for potential
 costs of opportunism in invasive species to additional environmental
 conditions in which invasive taxa have been shown or predicted to perform
 poorly. We grew four invasive and four noninvasive species in environments
 consisting of all possible combinations of high and low soil resources and
 presence and absence of clipping (removal of aboveground biomass). We also
 fed leaves of each species to a generalist herbivore to assess resistance
 to herbivory. We found that the advantage of invasive species is reduced
 but not eliminated by low soil resources and clipping. At low soil
 resources, invasive species produced softer leaves than noninvasive
 species and might therefore be less resistant to generalist herbivory than
 noninvasive species, although a direct comparison of resistance in a
 no-choice bioassay revealed no difference. The invasive species
 outperformed noninvasive species only under the most favorable conditions,
 and the noninvasive species did not outperform the invasive species in any
 environment.

title: Data from: The more the better – polyandry and genetic similarity are positively linked to reproductive success in a natural population of terrestrial salamanders (Salamandra salamandra)

description: Although classically thought to be rare, female polyandry is wide-spread
 and may entail significant fitness benefits. If females store sperm over
 extended periods of time, the consequences of polyandry will depend on the
 pattern of sperm storage, and some of the potential benefits of polyandry
 can only be realized if sperm from different males is mixed. Our study
 aimed to determine patterns and consequences of polyandry in an amphibian
 species, the fire salamander, under fully natural conditions. Fire
 salamanders are ideal study objects, since mating, fertilisation and
 larval deposition are temporally decoupled, females store sperm for
 several months and larvae are deposited in the order of fertilization.
 Based on 18 microsatellite loci, we conducted paternity analysis of 24
 female-offspring arrays, with, in total, over 600 larvae fertilised under
 complete natural conditions. More than one third of females were
 polyandrous and up to four males were found as sires. Our data clearly
 show that sperm from multiple males is mixed in the female's
 spermatheca. Nevertheless, paternity is biased, and the most successful
 male sires on average 70% of the larvae, suggesting a “topping off”
 mechanism with first-male precedence. Female reproductive success
 increased with the number of sires, most likely because multiple mating
 ensured high fertilization success. In contrast, offspring number was
 unaffected by female condition and genetic characteristics, but
 surprisingly, it increased with the degree of genetic relatedness between
 females and their sires. Sires of polyandrous females tended to be
 genetically similar to each other, indicating a role for active female
 choice.

title: Data from: Developmental plasticity for male secondary sexual traits in a group of polyphenic tropical butterflies

description: Many organisms alter their investment in secondary sexual traits to
 optimise the fitness trade-off between reproduction and survival. Though
 seasonal variation in the expression of sexual traits is evident (e.g.
 conspicuous breeding plumage in birds), little attention has been given to
 short-lived organisms that inhabit relatively stable environments
 throughout their own lifetime but are exposed to strong environmental
 variation across generations. Some insects have evolved seasonal
 polyphenism to cope with intergenerational variation in environmental
 selection, yielding alternative phenotypes better suited for the
 environment in which they occur. Here we use mycalesine butterflies, which
 express distinct seasonal forms in response to wet-dry seasonal
 environments, to explore whether seasonal polyphenism extends to secondary
 sexual traits. Sex pheromones, which are produced by androconial patches
 on the wings of males, are a key determinant of mating success in these
 species. Through a series of field sampling, reaction norm experiments,
 pheromone titre quantification, and mate competition experiments, this
 study reveals that the size of the androconial patch on the forewing is
 mediated by the temperatures experienced during development, which
 correspond to the ecological conditions during the alternative wet and dry
 seasons in the wild. Furthermore, in one of the species, Bicyclus anynana,
 larger forewing patches are associated with both an increase in the
 production of pheromone components as well as the likelihood of mating.
 Taken together, these findings indicate that plasticity in androconial
 patches may be an adaptation to seasonal fluctuations in the environment
 as it favours reproductive success in the conditions in which each
 seasonal form flies. We discuss our findings in the context of seasonal
 differences in the optimal trade-off between reproduction and survival.

title: Data from: Host associations and beta diversity of fungal endophyte communities in New Guinea rainforest trees

description: Processes shaping the distribution of foliar fungal endophyte species
 remain poorly understood. Despite increasing evidence that these cryptic
 fungal symbionts of plants mediate interactions with pathogens and
 herbivores, there remain basic questions regarding the extent to which
 dispersal limitation and host specificity might shape fungal endophyte
 community composition in rainforests. To assess the relative importance of
 spatial pattern and host specificity, we isolated fungi from a sample of
 mapped trees in lowland Papua New Guinea. Sequences of the internal
 transcribed spacer (ITS) region were obtained for 2,079 fungal endophytes
 from three sites and clustered into molecular operational taxonomic units
 (MOTUs) at 95% similarity. Multivariate analyses suggest that host
 affinity plays a significant role in structuring endophyte community
 composition whereas there was no evidence of endophyte spatial pattern at
 the scale of tens to hundreds of meters. Differences in endophyte
 communities between sampled trees were weakly correlated with variation in
 foliar traits but not with tree species relatedness. The dominance of
 relatively few generalist endophytes and the presence of a large number of
 rare MOTUs was a consistent observation at three sites separated by
 hundreds of kilometers and regional turnover was low. Host specificity
 appears to play a relatively weak but more important role than dispersal
 limitation in shaping the distribution of fungal endophyte communities in
 New Guinea forests. Our results suggest that in the absence of strong
 ecological gradients and host turnover, beta diversity of endophyte
 communities could be low in large areas of contiguous forest.
