title: Data from: Parasitoid gene expression changes after adaptation to symbiont-protected hosts

description: Reciprocal selection between aphids, their protective endosymbionts, and
 the parasitoid wasps that prey upon them offers an opportunity to study
 the basis of their coevolution. We investigated adaptation to
 symbiont-conferred defense by rearing the parasitoid wasp Lysiphlebus
 fabarum on aphids (Aphis fabae) possessing different defensive symbiont
 strains (Hamiltonella defensa). After ten generations of experimental
 evolution, wasps showed increased abilities to parasitize aphids
 possessing the H. defensa strain they evolved with, but not aphids
 possessing the other strain. We show that the two symbiont strains encode
 different toxins, potentially creating different targets for
 counter-adaptation. Phenotypic and behavioral comparisons suggest that
 neither life history traits nor oviposition behavior differed among
 evolved parasitoid lineages. In contrast, comparative transcriptomics of
 adult female wasps identified a suite of differentially expressed genes
 among lineages, even when reared in a common, symbiont-free, aphid host.
 In concurrence with the specificity of each parasitoid lineages’
 infectivity, most differentially expressed parasitoid transcripts were
 also lineage-specific. These transcripts are enriched with putative venom
 toxins and contain highly expressed, potentially defensive viral
 particles. Together, these results suggest that wild populations of L.
 fabarum employ a complicated offensive arsenal with sufficient genetic
 variation for wasps to adapt rapidly and specifically to their hosts’
 microbial defenses.

title: Data from: Environmental influences and ontogenetic differences in vertical habitat use of black marlin (Istiompax indica) in the southwestern Pacific

description: The black marlin (Istiompax indica) is a highly migratory billfish that
 occupies waters throughout the tropical and subtropical Indo-Pacific. To
 characterize the vertical habitat use of I. indica, we examined the
 temperature-depth profiles collected using 102 pop-up satellite archival
 tags deployed off the east coast of Australia. Modelling of environmental
 variables revealed location, sea-surface height deviation, mixed layer
 depth and dissolved oxygen to all be significant predictors of vertical
 habitat use. Distinct differences in diel movements were observed between
 the size classes, with larger size classes of marlin (greater than 50 kg)
 undertaking predictable bounce-diving activity during daylight hours,
 while diving behaviour of the smallest size class occurred randomly during
 both day and night. Overall, larger size classes of I. indica were found
 to use an increased thermal range and spend more time in waters below
 150 m than fish of smaller size classes. The differences in the diving
 behaviour among size classes were suggested to reflect ontogenetic
 differences in foraging behaviour or physiology. The findings of this
 study demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, ontogenetic
 differences in vertical habitat in a species of billfish, and further the
 understanding of pelagic fish ecophysiology in the presence of global
 environmental change.

title: Data from: Morphological and genetic evidence for a new karst specialist lizard from New Guinea (Cyrtodactylus: Gekkonidae).

description: Exposed limestone karst landscapes, especially in the tropics, are often
 home to distinctive and specialised biotas. Amongst vertebrates, a
 particularly large number of karst-associated lizard taxa have been
 described, but for the vast majority, evidence of specific adaptions to
 karst is lacking. A number of studies, however, have provided evidence of
 consistent morphological trends in lizards that utilise complex,
 three-dimensional, saxicoline habitats such as those that typify karst
 areas. Here we combine morphological and genetic data to test whether a
 newly discovered gecko from an extremely rugged karst area in New Guinea
 shows morphological trends matching these observed in other lizards
 associated with complex rock habitats such as karst and caves. Consistent
 with predictions, the new species’ head is flatter and narrower than
 similar-sized relatives, and it has proportionally larger eyes and longer
 limbs. These trends indicate this taxon represents the second documented
 instance of karst specialisation in a New Guinean vertebrate, and suggest
 morphological traits to test for evidence of specialised ecological
 associations in the many karst-associated Cyrtodactylus taxa from
 Southeast Asia.

title: Data from: Seasonal variation in daily patterns of social contacts in the European badger Meles meles

description: Social interactions among hosts influence the persistence and spread of
 infectious pathogens. Daily and seasonal variation in the frequency and
 type of social interactions will play an important role in disease
 epidemiology and, alongside other factors, may have an influence on wider
 disease dynamics by causing seasonal forcing of infection, especially if
 the seasonal variation experienced by a population is considerable. We
 explored temporal variation in within-group contacts in a high-density
 population of European badgers Meles meles naturally infected with
 Mycobacterium bovis (the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis). Summer
 contacts were more likely and of longer duration during the daytime, while
 the frequency and duration of winter contacts did not differ between day
 and night. In spring and autumn, within-group contacts peaked at dawn and
 dusk, corresponding with when they were of shortest duration with reduced
 potential for aerosol transmission of pathogens. Summer and winter could
 be critical for transmission of M. bovis in badgers, due to the high
 frequency and duration of contacts during resting periods, and we discuss
 the links between this result and empirical disease data. This study
 reveals clear seasonality in daily patterns of contact frequency and
 duration in species living in stable social groups, suggesting that
 changes in social contacts could drive seasonal forcing of infection in
 wildlife populations even when the number of individuals interacting
 remains similar.

title: Data from: The influence of stress hormones and aggression on cooperative behaviour in subordinate meerkats

description: In cooperative breeders, aggression from dominant breeders directed at
 subordinates may raise subordinate stress hormone (glucocorticoid)
 concentrations. This may benefit dominants by suppressing subordinate
 reproduction but it is uncertain whether aggression from dominants can
 elevate subordinate cooperative behaviour, or how resulting changes in
 subordinate glucocorticoid concentrations affect their cooperative
 behaviour. We show here that the effects of manipulating glucocorticoid
 concentrations in wild meerkats (Suricata suricatta) on cooperative
 behaviour varied between cooperative activities as well as between the
 sexes. Subordinates of both sexes treated with a glucocorticoid receptor
 antagonist (mifepristone) exhibited significantly more pup protection
 behaviour (babysitting) compared to those treated with glucocorticoids
 (cortisol) or controls. Females treated with mifepristone had a higher
 probability of exhibiting pup food provisioning (pup-feeding) compared to
 those treated with cortisol. In males, there were no treatment effects on
 the probability of pup-feeding, but those treated with cortisol gave a
 higher proportion of the food they found to pups than those treated with
 mifepristone. Using 19 years of behavioural data, we also show that
 dominant females did not increase the frequency with which they directed
 aggression at subordinates at times when the need for assistance was
 highest. Our results suggest that it is unlikely that dominant females
 manipulate the cooperative behaviour of subordinates through the effects
 of aggression on their glucocorticoid levels and that the function of
 aggression directed at subordinates is probably to reduce the probability
 they will breed.

title: Data from: A non-invasive method for sampling the body odour of mammals

description: 1. Olfaction is a central aspect of mammalian communication, providing
 information about individual attributes such as identity, sex, group
 membership or genetic quality. Yet, the chemical underpinnings of
 olfactory cues remain little understood, one of the reasons being the
 difficulty in obtaining high quality samples for chemical analysis. 2. In
 the present study we adjusted and evaluated the use of thermal desorption
 (TD) tubes, commonly used in plant metabolomic and environmental studies,
 for non-invasive sampling of mammalian body odour. We obtained chemical
 profiles of meerkat (Suricata suricatta) body odour samples using TD tubes
 analysed with gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC-MS). 3. TD tubes
 captured a wide range of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds
 including compounds likely originating from the target animals. Adjustment
 of sampling parameters (distance, volume, flow rate, interruption of
 sampling) to increase the feasibility for a non-invasive application
 yielded samples of adequate quality. However, to minimize the variability
 between samples, sampling parameters should be kept constant and samples
 should be collected when no conspecifics are close-by. 4. The method was
 sensitive enough to pick up population differences in the chemical
 profiles of two captive groups of meerkats, demonstrating its
 applicability to biological questions. With sufficiently habituated
 animals, the method is applicable non-invasively, allowing short- and
 long-term studies on a wide range of questions, including e.g. chemical
 signatures of kinship, diet, individual health or reproductive state.

title: Data from: Quantitative analysis of the complete larval settlement process confirms Crisp’s model of surface selectivity by barnacles

description: For barnacle cypris larvae at the point of settlement, selection of an
 appropriate surface is critical. Since post-settlement relocation is
 usually impossible, barnacles have evolved finely-tuned surface sensing
 capabilities to identify suitable substrata, and a temporary adhesion
 system for extensive surface exploration. The pattern of exploratory
 behaviour appears complex and may last for several hours, imposing
 significant barriers to quantitative measurement. Here, we employ a novel
 tracking system that enables simultaneous analysis of the larval body
 movement of multiple individuals over their entire planktonic phase. For
 the first time, we describe quantitatively the complete settlement process
 of cyprids as they explore and select surfaces for attachment. We confirm
 the ‘classic’ behaviours of wide searching, close searching and inspection
 that comprise a model originally proposed by Prof. Dennis Crisp FRS.
 Moreover, a short-term assay of cyprid body movement has identified
 inspection behaviour as the best indicator of propensity to settle, with
 more inspection-related movements occurring in conditions that also
 promote higher settlement. More than half-century after the model was
 first proposed by Crisp, there exists a precise method for quantifying
 cyprid settlement behaviour in wide-ranging investigations of barnacle
 ecology and applied studies of fouling management.

title: Data from: Head movements quadruple the range of speeds encoded by the insect motion vision system in hawkmoths

description: Flying insects use compensatory head movements to stabilize gaze. Like
 other optokinetic responses, these movements can reduce image
 displacement, motion, and misalignment, and simplify the optic flow field.
 Because gaze is imperfectly stabilized in insects, we hypothesised that
 compensatory head movements serve to extend the range of velocities of
 self-motion that the visual system encodes. We tested this by measuring
 head movements in hawkmoths Hyles lineata responding to full-field visual
 stimuli of differing oscillation amplitudes, oscillation frequencies, and
 spatial frequencies. We used frequency-domain system identification
 techniques to characterise the head's roll response, and simulated
 how this would have affected the output of the motion vision system,
 modelled as a computational array of Reichardt detectors. The moths'
 head movements were modulated to allow encoding of both fast and slow
 self-motion, effectively quadrupling the working range of the visual
 system for flight control. By using its own output to drive compensatory
 head movements, the motion vision system thereby works as an adaptive
 sensor, which will be most beneficial in nocturnal species with inherently
 slow vision. Studies of the ecology of motion vision must therefore
 consider the tuning of motion-sensitive interneurons in the context of the
 closed-loop systems in which they function.
