title: Data from: The legacy effects of keystone individuals on collective behavior scale to how long they remain within a group

description: The collective behaviour of social groups is often strongly influenced by
 one or few individuals, termed here ‘keystone individuals’. We examined
 whether the influence of keystone individuals on collective behaviour
 lingers after their departure and whether these lingering effects scale
 with their tenure in the group. In the social spider, Stegodyphus
 dumicola, colonies' boldest individuals wield a disproportionately
 large influence over colony behaviour. We experimentally manipulated
 keystones' tenure in laboratory-housed colonies and tracked their
 legacy effects on collective prey capture following their removal. We
 found that bolder keystones caused more aggressive collective foraging
 behaviour and catalysed greater inter-individual variation in boldness
 within their colonies. The longer keystones remained in a colony, the
 longer both of these effects lingered after their departure. Our data
 demonstrate that, long after their disappearance, keystones have large and
 lasting effects on social dynamics at both the individual and colony
 levels.

title: Data from: Climate and anthropogenic factors determine site occupancy in Scotland's Northern-range badger population: implications of context-dependent responses under environmental change

description: Aim In the light of human-induced rapid environmental change (HIREC),
 populations are exposed to ever-greater bioclimatic stress at the edge of
 a species’ historic range. The distribution dynamics of European badgers
 (Meles meles) at their southern edge are linked tightly to climatic
 variability. We contribute critical data on how climatic context and local
 factors determine site occupancy in a northern-range population. Location
 Eleven study areas (averaging ~21.3 km2) spread over ~50,000 km2 in
 Northern Scotland. Methods While accounting for heterogeneous
 detectability, we applied single-season occupancy models to broad-scale
 camera-trapping data (168 stations) to evaluate how Autumn–Winter weather
 conditions interact with land-cover type (including agricultural land) and
 human disturbance to determine badger occupancy. Results Mean minimum
 daily winter temperature and elevation influenced inter-site occupancy.
 When clustering study areas into two distinct topo-climatic types, badger
 occupancy was associated with agriculture in areas with lower mean minimum
 winter temperatures (&lt;0.3°C) at higher elevation (&gt;246 m).
 In areas with higher mean minimum winter temperature (&gt;1.2°C) at
 lower elevation (&lt;133 m), badgers selected sites further away from
 human infrastructures (settlements and main roads). Climatic factors and
 human disturbance interact in intricate, context-dependent patterns to
 determine badger site occupancy. Main Conclusions The UKCP09 Medium
 Emissions Scenario projects a winter mean minimum temperature increase of
 between 1 and 3°C (central estimate) for Northern Scotland by the 2050s.
 Although warmer weather should benefit badger occupancy, this may be
 counteracted by up to a predicted 5% human population increase in the
 Scottish highlands, by 2037, which is likely to disturb badgers. We show
 that even in instances where species’ regional responses to climate change
 are positive, these effects can be neutralized by other anthropogenic
 pressures. Our findings add to the growing body of evidence advocating
 that interactive effects should be taken into account when planning
 conservation management.

title: Data from: Fuels and fires influence vegetation via above- and below-ground pathways in a high-diversity plant community

description: 1. Fire strongly influences plant populations and communities around the
 world, making it an important agent of plant evolution. Fire influences
 vegetation through multiple pathways, both above- and belowground. Few
 studies have yet attempted to tie these pathways together in a mechanistic
 way through soil heating even though the importance of soil heating for
 plants in fire-prone ecosystems is increasingly recognized. 2. Here we
 combine an experimental approach with structural equation modelling (SEM)
 to simultaneously examine multiple pathways through which fire might
 influence herbaceous vegetation. In a high-diversity longleaf pine
 groundcover community in Louisiana, USA, we manipulated fine-fuel biomass
 and monitored the resulting fires with high-resolution thermocouples
 placed in vertical profile above- and belowground. 3. We predicted that
 vegetation response to burning would be inversely related to fuel load
 owing to relationships among fuels, fire temperature, duration and soil
 heating. 4. We found that fuel manipulations altered fire properties and
 vegetation responses, of which soil heating proved to be a highly accurate
 predictor. Fire duration acting through soil heating was important for
 vegetation response in our SEMs, whereas fire temperature was not. 5. Our
 results indicate that in this herbaceous plant community, fire duration is
 a good predictor of soil heating and therefore of vegetation response to
 fire. Soil heating may be the key determinant of vegetation response to
 fire in ecosystems wherein plants persist by resprouting or reseeding from
 soil-stored propagules. 6. Synthesis. Our SEMs demonstrate how the complex
 pathways through which fires influence plant community structure and
 dynamics can be examined simultaneously. Comparative studies of these
 pathways across different communities will provide important insights into
 the ecology, evolution and conservation of fire-prone ecosystems.

title: Data from: Two colonisation stages generate two different patterns of genetic diversity within native and invasive ranges of Ulex europaeus

description: Genetic diversity and the way a species is introduced influence the
 capacity of populations of invasive species to persist in, and adapt to,
 their new environment. The diversity of introduced populations affects
 their evolutionary potential, which is particularly important for species
 that have invaded a wide range of habitats and climates, such as European
 gorse, Ulex europaeus. This species originated in the Iberian peninsula
 and colonised Europe in the Neolithic; over the course of the last two
 centuries it was introduced to, and has become invasive in, other
 continents. We characterised neutral genetic diversity and its structure
 in the native range and in invaded regions. By coupling these results with
 historical data we have identified the way in which gorse populations were
 introduced and the consequences of introduction history on genetic
 diversity. Our study is based on the genotyping of individuals from 18
 populations at six microsatellite loci. As Ulex europaeus is an
 allohexaploid species, we used recently developed tools which take into
 account genotypic ambiguity. Our results show that genetic diversity in
 gorse is very high, and mainly contained within populations. We confirm
 that colonisation occurred in two stages. During the first stage, gorse
 spread out naturally from Spain towards northern Europe, losing some
 genetic diversity. During the second stage, gorse was introduced by humans
 into different regions of the world, from northern Europe. These
 introductions resulted in the loss of rare alleles, but did not
 significantly reduce genetic diversity and thus the evolutionary potential
 of this invasive species.

title: Data from: Sperm competition, but not major histocompatibility divergence, drives differential fertilization success between alternative reproductive tactics in Chinook salmon

description: Post-copulatory sexual selection processes, including sperm competition
 and cryptic female choice (CFC), can operate based on major
 histocompatibility (MH) genes. We investigated sperm competition between
 male alternative reproductive tactics [jack (sneaker) and hooknose
 (guard)] of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). Using a full
 factorial design, we examined in vitro competitive fertilization success
 of paired jack and hooknose males at three time points after sperm
 activation (0, 15 and 60 s) to test for male competition, CFC and time
 effects on male fertilization success. We also examined egg-mediated CFC
 at two MH genes by examining both the relationship between competitive
 fertilization success and MH divergence as well as inheritance patterns of
 MH alleles in resulting offspring. We found that jacks sired more
 offspring than hooknose males at 0 s post-activation; however, jack
 fertilization success declined over time post-activation, suggesting a
 trade-off between sperm speed and longevity. Enhanced fertilization
 success of jacks (presumably via higher sperm quality) may serve to
 increase sneaker tactic competitiveness relative to dominant hooknose
 males. We also found evidence of egg-mediated CFC (i.e. female × male
 interaction) influencing competitive fertilization success; however, CFC
 was not acting on the MH genes as we found no relationship between
 fertilization success and MH II β1 or MH I α1 divergence and we found no
 deviations from Mendelian inheritance of MH alleles in the offspring. Our
 study provides insight into evolutionary mechanisms influencing variation
 in male mating success within alternative reproductive tactics, thus
 underscoring different strategies that males can adopt to attain success.

title: Data from: Cross-species infection trials reveal cryptic parasite varieties and a putative polymorphism shared among host species.

description: A parasite's host range can have important consequences for
 ecological and evolutionary processes but can be difficult to infer.
 Successful infection depends on the outcome of multiple steps and only
 some steps of the infection process may be critical in determining a
 parasites host range. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the host
 range of the bacterium Pasteuria ramosa, a Daphnia parasite, and
 determined the parasites success in different stages of the infection
 process. Multiple genotypes of Daphnia pulex, Daphnia longispina and
 Daphnia magna were tested with four Pasteuria genotypes using infection
 trials and an assay that determines the ability of the parasite to attach
 to the hosts esophagus. We find that attachment is not specific to host
 species but is specific to host genotype. This may suggest that alleles on
 the locus controlling attachment are shared among different host species
 that diverged 100 million year. However, in our trials, Pasteuria was
 never able to reproduce in nonnative host species, suggesting that
 Pasteuria infecting different host species are different varieties, each
 with a narrow host range. Our approach highlights the explanatory power of
 dissecting the steps of the infection process and resolves potentially
 conflicting reports on parasite host ranges.

title: Data from: Divergent population structure and climate associations of a chromosomal inversion polymorphism across the Mimulus guttatus species complex

description: Chromosomal rearrangement polymorphisms are common and increasingly found
 to be associated with adaptive ecological divergence and speciation.
 Rearrangements, such as inversions, reduce recombination in heterozygous
 individuals and thus can protect favorable allelic combinations at linked
 loci, facilitating their spread in the presence of gene flow. Recently, we
 identified a chromosomal inversion polymorphism that contributes to
 ecological adaptation and reproductive isolation between annual and
 perennial ecotypes of the yellow monkeyflower, Mimulus guttatus. Here we
 evaluate the population genetic structure of this inverted region in
 comparison with the collinear regions of the genome across the M. guttatus
 species complex. We tested whether annual and perennial M. guttatus
 exhibit different patterns of divergence for loci in the inverted and
 noninverted regions of the genome. We then evaluated whether there are
 contrasting climate associations with these genomic regions through
 redundancy analysis. We found that the inversion exhibits broadly
 different patterns of divergence among annual and perennial M. guttatus
 and is associated with environmental variation across population
 accessions. This study is the first widespread population genetic survey
 of the diversity of the M. guttatus species complex. Our findings
 contribute to a greater understanding of morphological, ecological, and
 genetic evolutionary divergence across this highly diverse group of
 closely related ecotypes and species. Finally, understanding species
 relationships among M. guttatus sp. has hitherto been stymied by
 accumulated evidence of substantial gene flow among populations as well as
 designated species. Nevertheless, our results shed light on these
 relationships and provide insight into adaptation in life history traits
 within the complex.

title: Data from: Phylogeographic structure and deep lineage diversification of the red alga Chondrus ocellatus Holmes in the Northwest Pacific

description: A major goal of phylogeographic analysis using molecular markers is to
 understand the ecological and historical variables that influence genetic
 diversity within a species. Here, we used sequences of the mitochondrial
 Cox1 gene and nuclear internal transcribed spacer to reconstruct its
 phylogeography and demographic history of the intertidal red seaweed
 Chondrus ocellatus over most of its geographical range in the Northwest
 Pacific. We found three deeply separated lineages A, B and C, which
 diverged from one another in the early Pliocene–late Miocene (c. 4.5–7.7
 Ma). The remarkably deep divergences, both within and between lineages,
 appear to have resulted from ancient isolations, accelerated by random
 drift and limited genetic exchange between regions. The disjunct
 distributions of lineages A and C along the coasts of Japan may reflect
 divergence during isolation in scattered refugia. The distribution of
 lineage B, from the South China Sea to the Korean Peninsula, appears to
 reflect postglacial recolonizations of coastal habitats. These three
 lineages do not coincide with the three documented morphological formae in
 C. ocellatus, suggesting that additional cryptic species may exist in this
 taxon. Our study illustrates the interaction of environmental variability
 and demographic processes in producing lineage diversification in an
 intertidal seaweed and highlights the importance of phylogeographic
 approaches for discovering cryptic marine biodiversity.

title: Data from: Temporal genetic structure in a poecilogonous polychaete: the interplay of developmental mode and environmental stochasticity

description: Background: Temporal variation in the genetic structure of populations can
 be caused by multiple factors, including natural selection, stochastic
 environmental variation, migration, or genetic drift. In benthic marine
 species, the developmental mode of larvae may indicate a possibility for
 temporal genetic variation: species with dispersive planktonic larvae are
 expected to be more likely to show temporal genetic variation than species
 with benthic or brooded non-dispersive larvae, due to differences in
 larval mortality and dispersal ability. We examined temporal genetic
 structure in populations of Pygospio elegans, a poecilogonous polychaete
 with within-species variation in developmental mode. P. elegans produces
 either planktonic, benthic, or intermediate larvae, varying both among and
 within populations, providing a within-species test of the generality of a
 relationship between temporal genetic variation and larval developmental
 mode. Results: In contrast to our expectations, our microsatellite
 analyses of P. elegans revealed temporal genetic stability in the UK
 population with planktonic larvae, whereas there was variation indicative
 of drift in temporal samples of the populations from the Baltic Sea, which
 have predominantly benthic and intermediate larvae. We also detected
 temporal variation in relatedness within these populations. A large
 temporal shift in genetic structure was detected in a population from the
 Netherlands, having multiple developmental modes. This shift could have
 been caused by local extiction due to extreme environmental conditions and
 (re)colonization by planktonic larvae from neighboring populations.
 Conclusions: In our study of P. elegans, temporal genetic variation
 appears to be due to not only larval developmental mode, but also the
 stochastic environment of adults. Large temporal genetic shifts may be
 more likely in marine intertidal habitats (e.g. North Sea and Wadden Sea)
 which are more prone to environmental stochasticity than the sub-tidal
 Baltic habitats. Sub-tidal and/or brackish (less saline) habitats may
 support smaller P. elegans populations and these may be more susceptible
 to the effects of random genetic drift. Moreover, higher frequencies of
 asexual reproduction and the benthic larval developmental mode in these
 populations leads to higher relatedness and contributes to drift. Our
 results indicate that a general relationship between larval developmental
 mode and temporal genetic variation may not exist.
