title: Data from: Effect of haemosporidian infections on host survival and recapture rate in the blue tit

description: Parasites are ubiquitous in the wild and by imposing fitness costs on
 their hosts they constitute an important selection factor. One of the most
 common parasites of wild birds are Plasmodium and Haemoproteus, protozoans
 inhabiting the blood, which cause avian malaria and malaria-like disease,
 respectively. Although they are expected to cause negative effects in
 infected individuals, in many cases studies in natural populations failed
 to detect such effect. Using data from seven breeding seasons (2008 -
 2014), we applied a multistate capture – mark – recapture approach to
 study the effect of infection with malaria and malaria-like parasites,
 individual age and sex on the probability of survival and recapture rate
 in a small passerine, the blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus), inhabiting the
 island of Gotland, Sweden. We found no effect of infection on survival
 prospects. However, the recapture rate of infected individuals was higher
 than that of uninfected ones. Thus, while our data do not support the
 presence of infection costs in terms of host survival, it suggests that
 parasites from the genera Plasmodium and Haemoproteus may affect some
 aspects of host behaviour, which translates into biased estimation of
 infection frequency at the population level.

title: Data from: Effects of grazing on soil nitrogen spatial heterogeneity depend on herbivore assemblage and pre-grazing plant diversity

description: The spatial heterogeneity of limiting soil resources is an essential
 factor determining ecosystem processes and function. It has been reported
 that large herbivores can strongly impact the variation and spatial
 distribution pattern of soil nitrogen (N). However, it remains unclear how
 large herbivores affect soil spatial heterogeneity and whether this
 influence is dependent on plant community diversity. Here we examined
 effects of different herbivore assemblages [no grazing; cattle grazing
 (CG); sheep grazing (SG); and mixed grazing (MG) of cattle and sheep] on
 soil N spatial heterogeneity in grasslands with high and low pre-grazing
 plant diversity in an eastern Eurasian steppe. We found that herbivore
 grazing generated and maintained spatial patterns of soil nutrients,
 depending on herbivore assemblage and the level of pre-grazing plant
 diversity. CG increased the spatial heterogeneity of soil available N in
 Leymus chinensis-dominated steppe meadows, which were independent of
 pre-grazing plant diversity. However, the effects of SG and MG strongly
 depended on grassland plant diversity, with an increased spatial
 heterogeneity of soil available N in the high-diversity grassland, but not
 in the low-diversity grassland. Synthesis and applications. We concluded
 that in a L. chinensis-dominated eastern Eurasian steppe, cattle ranching
 could be considered as an optimal grazing management protocol to improve
 soil spatial heterogeneity because cattle grazing (CG) consistently
 increased soil spatial heterogeneity in the context of both low and high
 plant diversity. Nevertheless, soil spatial heterogeneity could be
 improved by any herbivore grazing regime [CG and/or sheep grazing (SG)]
 when high plant diversity is maintained. These findings highlight the
 importance of conserving plant diversity to maintain grassland structure
 and ecosystem function. In grassland systems with high plant diversity,
 herbivore grazing and plant diversity would jointly improve soil spatial
 heterogeneity, thus feeding back to maintain higher plant diversity.
 Therefore, high plant diversity could generate a positive feedback loop of
 herbivore–plant–soil interactions in grazed grassland systems. Our
 findings indicate the importance of herbivore assemblages in maintaining
 spatial heterogeneity in low- and high-diversity grassland systems.

title: Data from: Genetic evidence for the uncoupling of local aquaculture activities and a population of an invasive species – a case study of Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas)

description: Human-mediated introduction of non-native species into coastal areas via
 aquaculture is one of the main pathways that can lead to biological
 invasions. To develop strategies to counteract invasions it is critical to
 determine whether populations establishing in the wild are self-sustaining
 or based on repeated introductions. Invasions by the Pacific oyster
 (Crassostrea gigas) have been associated with the growing oyster
 aquaculture industry worldwide. In this study, temporal genetic
 variability of farmed and wild oysters from the largest enclosed bay in
 Ireland was assessed to reconstruct the recent biological history of the
 feral populations using seven anonymous and seven microsatellites linked
 to expressed sequence tags (ESTs). There was no evidence of EST-linked
 markers showing footprints of selection. Allelic richness was higher in
 feral than in aquaculture samples (p=0.003, paired t-test). Significant
 deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) due to heterozygote
 deficiencies were detected for almost all loci and samples, most likely
 explained by the presence of null-alleles. Relatively high genetic
 differentiation was found between aquaculture and feral oysters (largest
 pairwise multilocus FST 0.074, p &lt; 0.01) and between year classes
 of oysters from aquaculture (largest pairwise multilocus FST 0.073, p
 &lt; 0.01), which was also confirmed by the strong separation of
 aquaculture and wild samples using Bayesian clustering approaches. A
 ten-fold higher effective population size (Ne) – and a high number of
 private alleles – in wild oysters suggest an established self-sustaining
 feral population. The wild oyster population studied appears
 demographically independent from the current aquaculture activities in the
 estuary and alternative scenarios of introduction pathways are discussed.

title: Data from: Analysis of wild macaque stone tools used to crack oil palm nuts

description: The discovery of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) nut-cracking by wild
 long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) is significant for the study of
 non-human primate and hominin percussive behaviour. Up until now, only
 West African chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) and modern human
 populations were known to use stone hammers to crack open this particular
 hard-shelled palm nut. The addition of non-habituated, wild macaques
 increases our comparative dataset of primate lithic percussive behaviour
 focused on this one plant species. Here we present an initial description
 of hammerstones used by macaques to crack oil palm nuts, recovered from
 active nut-cracking locations on Yao Noi Island, Ao Phang Nga National
 Park, Thailand. We combine a techno-typological approach with microscopic
 and macroscopic use wear analysis of percussive damage to characterise the
 percussive signature of macaque palm oil nut-cracking tools. These
 artefacts are characterised by a high degree of battering and crushing on
 most surfaces, which is visible at both macro and microscopic levels. The
 degree and extent of this damage is a consequence of a dynamic interplay
 between a number of factors, including anvil morphology and macaque
 percussive techniques. Beyond the behavioural importance of these
 artefacts, macaque nut-cracking represents a new target for primate
 archaeological investigations, and opens new opportunities for comparisons
 between tool using primate species and with early hominin percussive
 behaviour, for which nut-cracking has been frequently inferred.

title: Data from:Identification of landscape features influencing gene flow: how useful are habitat selection models?

description: Understanding how dispersal patterns are influenced by landscape
 heterogeneity is critical for modelling species connectivity. Resource
 selection function (RSF) models are increasingly used in landscape
 genetics approaches. However, because the ecological factors that drive
 habitat selection may be different from those influencing dispersal and
 gene flow, it is important to consider their explicit assumptions. We
 calculated pairwise genetic distances among 301 Alaskan Dall’s sheep (Ovis
 dalli dalli) using an intensive sampling effort and 15 microsatellite
 loci. We used multiple regression of distance matrices to assess the
 correlation of pairwise genetic distance and landscape resistance derived
 from an RSF, and combinations of landscape features hypothesized to
 influence dispersal. Dall’s sheep gene flow was positively correlated with
 steep slopes, moderate peak normalized difference vegetation indices
 (NDVI), and open land cover. Whereas RSF covariates were significant in
 predicting genetic distance, the RSF model itself was not significantly
 correlated with Dall’s sheep gene flow, suggesting that certain habitat
 features important seasonally (rugged terrain, mid-range elevation) were
 not influential to breeding dispersal. This work underscores that
 consideration of both habitat selection and landscape genetics models in
 developing conservation strategies will ensure resources are managed to
 meet both the immediate survival needs of a species and allow for
 long-term genetic connectivity.

title: Data from: Forest passerines as a novel dispersal vector of viable bryophyte propagules

description: Animal dispersal influences the community structure and diversity of a
 wide variety of plant taxa, yet the potential effects of animal dispersal
 in bryophytes (hornworts, liverworts, and mosses) is poorly understood. In
 many communities, birds use bryophyte-abundant niche space for foraging
 and gathering nest material, suggesting that birds may play a role in
 bryophyte dispersal. As highly motile animals with long migratory routes,
 birds potentially provide a means for both local and long-distance
 bryophyte dispersal in a manner that differs greatly from passive, aerial
 spore dispersal. To examine this phenomenon, we collected and germinated
 bryophyte propagules from the legs, feet and tails of 224 birds from 34
 species within a temperate forest community. In total we found 1,512
 spores, and were able to germinate 242 bryophyte propagules. In addition,
 we provide evidence that topical (externally-carried) spore load varies by
 bird species and behavior. Tail feather spore abundance is highest in bark
 and foliage gleaning species and is positively correlated with tarsal
 length. Together, these data suggest that a variety of forest birds
 exhibit the potential to act as dispersal vectors for bryophyte
 propagules, including an abundance of spores, and that understanding the
 effects of animal behavior on bryophyte dispersal will be key to further
 understanding this interaction.

title: Data from: You eat what you are: personality-dependent filial cannibalism in a fish with paternal care

description: Many animal parents invest heavily to ensure offspring survival, yet some
 eventually consume some or all of their very own young. This so-called
 filial cannibalism is known from a wide range of taxa, but its adaptive
 benefit remains largely unclear. The extent to which parents cannibalize
 their broods varies substantially not only between species, but also
 between individuals, indicating that intrinsic behavioral differences, or
 animal personalities, might constitute a relevant proximate trigger for
 filial cannibalism. Using a marine fish with extensive paternal care, the
 common goby (Pomatoschistus microps), we investigated the influence of
 animal personality on filial cannibalism by assessing (1) behavioral
 consistency across a breeding and a nonbreeding context; (2) correlations
 between different breeding (egg fanning; filial cannibalism) and
 nonbreeding (activity) behaviors, and, in a separate experiment; (3)
 whether previously established personality scores affect filial
 cannibalism levels. We found consistent individual differences in activity
 across contexts. Partial filial cannibalism was independent of egg fanning
 but correlated strongly with activity, where active males cannibalized
 more eggs than less active males. This pattern was strong initially but
 vanished as the breeding season progressed. The incidence of whole clutch
 filial cannibalism increased with activity and clutch size. Our findings
 indicate that filial cannibalism cannot generally be adjusted
 independently of male personality and is thus phenotypically less plastic
 than typically assumed. The present work stresses the multidimensional
 interaction between animal personality, individual plasticity and the
 environment in shaping filial cannibalism.

title: Data from: Variation in the condition-dependence of individual sexual traits in male eastern mosquitofish, Gambusia holbrooki

description: Most sexually-selected traits are costly to produce and therefore tend to
 show condition-dependent expression. But individuals have a finite set of
 resources to invest across the multiple traits on which sexual selection
 acts. This necessarily leads to trade-offs among individual traits and
 between different reproductive stages. The effect of male condition on
 trait expression might therefore vary for different sexually selected
 traits depending on the marginal gains from investment into one trait
 rather than another. We manipulated the diet of eastern mosquitofish
 (Gambusia holbrooki) to test the condition-dependence of four components
 of male mating effort that are under pre-copulatory sexual selection
 (male-male aggressiveness, time spent with females, rate of copulation
 attempts, and male mate choice). We found positive condition-dependence of
 both the time spent with females and the rate of copulation attempts, but
 negative condition-dependence of male aggression towards rivals (all P
 &lt; 0.05). By contrast, the level of male mating preference for
 larger, more fecund females did not vary significantly with male
 condition. Our results highlight the importance of incorporating variation
 in resource acquisition, hence condition, into allocation models that
 predict investment into multiple sexually selected traits.

title: Data from: Large mammal use of protected and community-managed lands in a biodiversity hotspot

description: In large parts of the biodiversity-rich tropics, various forest governance
 regimes often coexist, ranging from governmental administration to highly
 decentralized community management. Two common forms of such governance
 are protected areas, and community lands open to limited resource
 extraction. We studied wildlife occurrences in the north-east Indian state
 of Arunachal Pradesh, where the Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary (EWS) is
 situated adjacent to community lands governed by the Bugun and Sherdukpen
 tribes. We conducted transect-based mammal sign surveys and camera
 trapping for mammals (&gt;0.5 kg), and interviewed members of the
 resident tribes to understand their hunting practices and causes of
 wildlife declines. Interviews indicated hunting-mediated declines in the
 abundances of mammals such as the tiger Panthera tigris, gaur Bos gaurus
 and river otters Lutrogale and Aonyx species. Larger species such as
 B. gaurus were much more abundant within EWS than outside of it.
 Community-managed lands harbored smaller bodied species, including some of
 conservation importance such as the red panda Ailurus fulgens, clouded
 leopard Neofelis nebulosa and golden cat Pardofelis temminckii. Our
 findings show that protected areas may have important non-substitutive
 values but adjoining community-managed lands may also have important
 conservation values for a different set of species.

title: Adverse impact of paternal age on embryo euploidy: insights from retrospective analysis and interpretable Machine learning

description: The trend of delayed childbearing has increased the average age of parents, with the impact of paternal age on embryo euploidy remaining controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of paternal age on embryo euploidy using retrospective clinical data and interpretable machine learning. This retrospective study included 960 couples and 4,718 embryos undergoing preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A). Couples were divided into two groups based on paternal age (Group 1 ≥ 40 years and Group 2 &lt; 40 years). Statistical methods, including generalized estimating equation (GEE) and restricted cubic spline, were used to evaluate the relationship between paternal age and embryo euploidy. Interpretable machine learning models were employed to predict the likelihood of having at least one euploid embryo, validating the impact of paternal age on embryo euploidy. 867 and 3,851 blastocysts were selected as Group 1 and control Group 2, respectively. Couples with higher paternal age showed a significantly higher rate of embryo aneuploidy (60.21% vs. 41.03%, <i>P</i> &lt; 0.001). Logistic regression using GEE confirmed the association between paternal age and aneuploidy rate (OR: 1.396, 95% CI: 1.150–1.695, <i>P</i> &lt; 0.01). Combining clinical data analysis and interpretable machine learning models, the study provides evidence that paternal age negatively impacts embryo euploidy, emphasizing the need to consider paternal age in reproductive planning.
