title: Data from: Recombination and hitchhiking of deleterious alleles

description: When new advantageous alleles arise and spread within a population,
 deleterious alleles at neighbouring loci can hitchhike alongside them and
 spread to ﬁxation in areas of low recombination, introducing a ﬁxed
 mutation load. We use branching processes and diffusion equations to
 calculate the probability that a deleterious allele hitchhikes and ﬁxes
 alongside an advantageous mutant. As expected, the probability of ﬁxation
 of a deleterious hitchhiker rises with the selective advantage of the
 sweeping allele and declines with the selective disadvantage of the
 deleterious hitchhiker. We then use computer simulations of a genome with
 an inﬁnite number of loci to investigate the increase in load after an
 advantageous mutant is introduced. We show that the appearance of
 advantageous alleles on genetic backgrounds loaded with deleterious
 alleles has two potential effects: it can ﬁx deleterious alleles and also
 facilitate the persistence of recombinant lineages that happen to occur.
 The latter is expected to reduce the signals of selection in the
 surrounding region. We consider these results in light of human genetic
 data to infer how likely it is that such deleterious hitchhikers have
 occurred in our recent evolutionary past.

title: Data from: TMS reveals flexible use of form and motion cues in biological motion perception

description: The perception of human movement is a key component of daily social
 interactions. Although extrastriate area MT+/V5 is closely associated with
 motion processing, its role in the processing of sparse 'biological
 motion' displays is still unclear. We developed two closed matched
 psychophysical tasks to assess simple coherent motion perception and
 biological motion perception, and measured changes in performance caused
 by application of TMS over MT+/V5. Performance of the simple motion
 discrimination task was significantly depressed by TMS stimulation, and
 highly correlated within observers in TMS conditions, but there was no
 significant decrement in performance of the biological motion task,
 despite low intra-observer correlations across TMS conditions. We conclude
 that extrastriate area MT+/V5 is an obligatory waypoint in the neural
 processing of simple coherent motion, but is not obligatory for the
 processing of biological motion. Results are consistent with a dual neural
 processing route for biological motion processing.

title: Data from: Monocular blur alters the tuning characteristics of stereopsis for spatial frequency and size

description: Our sense of depth perception is mediated by spatial filters at different
 scales in the visual brain; low spatial frequency channels provide the
 basis for coarse stereopsis, whereas high spatial frequency channels
 provide for fine stereopsis. It is well established that monocular
 blurring of vision results in decreased stereoacuity. However, previous
 studies have used tests that are broadband in their spatial frequency
 content. It is not yet entirely clear how the processing of stereopsis in
 different spatial frequency channels is altered in response to binocular
 input imbalance. Here, we applied a new stereoacuity test based on
 narrow-band Gabor stimuli. By manipulating the carrier spatial frequency,
 we were able to reveal the spatial frequency tuning of stereopsis,
 spanning from coarse to fine, under blurred conditions. Our findings show
 that increasing monocular blur elevates stereoacuity thresholds
 ‘selectively’ at high spatial frequencies, gradually shifting the optimum
 frequency to lower spatial frequencies. Surprisingly, stereopsis for low
 frequency targets was only mildly affected even with an acuity difference
 of eight lines on a standard letter chart. Furthermore, we examined the
 effect of monocular blur on the size tuning function of stereopsis. The
 clinical implications of these findings are discussed.

title: Data from: Thermal fluctuations affect the transcriptome through mechanisms independent of average temperature

description: Terrestrial ectotherms are challenged by variation in both mean and
 variance of temperature. Phenotypic plasticity (thermal acclimation) might
 mitigate adverse effects, however, we lack a fundamental understanding of
 the molecular mechanisms of thermal acclimation and how they are affected
 by fluctuating temperature. Here we investigated the effect of thermal
 acclimation in Drosophila melanogaster on critical thermal maxima (CTmax)
 and associated global gene expression profiles as induced by two constant
 and two ecologically relevant (non-stressful) diurnally fluctuating
 temperature regimes. Both mean and fluctuation of temperature contributed
 to thermal acclimation and affected the transcriptome. The transcriptomic
 response to mean temperatures comprised modification of a major part of
 the transcriptome, while the response to fluctuations affected a much
 smaller set of genes, which was highly independent of both the response to
 a change in mean temperature and to the classic heat shock response.
 Although the independent transcriptional effects caused by fluctuations
 were relatively small, they are likely to contribute to our understanding
 of thermal adaptation. We provide evidence that environmental sensing,
 particularly phototransduction, is a central mechanism underlying the
 regulation of thermal acclimation to fluctuating temperatures. Thus, genes
 and pathways involved in phototransduction are likely of importance in
 fluctuating climates.

title: Data from: Sperm morph and remating frequency in the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella

description: All Lepidoptera produce two sperm types: normal, nucleated ‘eupyrene’
 sperm and anucleate ‘apyrene’ sperm. One hypothesis for the evolution of
 apyrene sperm suggests that they act to reduce female remating rate.
 Apyrene sperm require less resources to produce than do eupyrene sperm,
 and could delay remating by females by acting as a “cheap filler”, packing
 the spermatheca and thereby reducing receptivity. This would reduce the
 risk of sperm competition, giving a potential adaptive advantage to the
 male producing these sperm. This leads to the prediction that the
 probability of a female remating should correlate with the number of
 stored apyrene sperm, which has previously been supported by experiments
 using the Green-Veined White butterfly, Pieris napi. We repeated this
 experiment using the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella. We find that
 in this species eupyrene, not apyrene sperm number is the best predictor
 of female remating probability, indicating that the “cheap filler”
 hypothesis for the function of apyrene sperm is not well supported for
 this species.

title: Data from: "Identification and assessment of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) between Culex complex mosquitoes." in Genomic Resources Notes Accepted 1 August 2014-30 September 2014

description: Culex pipiens complex mosquitoes are important vectors for many human
 pathogens including West Nile encephalitis, Rift Valley fever and
 Lymphatic filariasis. In this study we characterized a set of SNP markers
 between two biotypes of the Culex pipiens complex, Culex pipiens form
 molestus and Culex pipiens form pipiens, for use in a high-resolution
 genetic mapping and population genetics. DNA pooled from 10 specimens of
 each biotype were sequenced and analyzed for variation in 28 genes. The
 total of 4714 bp across orthologs of C. pipiens form pipiens and C.
 pipiens form molestus revealed 44 SNPs in the 3279 bp coding regions, 48
 SNPs in the 1435 bp non-coding regions, and 10 indels. The ratio of
 transitions to transversions approached 2:1, with transitions constituting
 the majority of synonymous coding substitutions. The informative SNP
 markers were successfully identified and assessed from both C. pipiens
 biotypes. We expect that novel SNPs characterized in this study would be
 useful for genetic studies to elucidate the genetic basis of diverged
 eco-physiological traits between the two biotypes of the C. pipiens
 complex.

title: Data from: Effectiveness of vole control by owls in apple orchards

description: 1. Biological pest control is gaining greater acceptance as an important
 part of integrated pest management for sustainable agriculture. However,
 knowledge regarding biological control of rodent pests is limited, and its
 effectiveness in temperate areas has not been quantified. In traditional
 Japanese apple orchards, the Ural owl Strix uralensis breeds in tree
 hollows and preys on the Japanese field vole Microtus montebelli, a native
 pest species that can harm fruit production. In this study, we
 hypothesized that the Ural owl, a generalist predator, can act as a
 biological control agent by reducing vole densities in temperate orchards.
 2. To quantify the pest control effects of breeding Ural owls, we first
 analysed the diet of individual owls nesting in apple tree hollows.
 Second, we installed nest boxes in orchards to attract breeding owl pairs
 and collected data on vole population changes around owl nests to compare
 with control areas. The population changes were analysed using a
 generalised linear mixed model to assess the effect of breeding owls
 within their breeding territory. The model took into account seasonal
 fluctuations in vole population size as well as surrounding land-use. We
 also examined vole populations around the owl nests in April, and the
 distance between nests and forested areas, to determine if these variables
 influenced nest site selection. 3. The primary prey of Ural owls breeding
 in orchards was voles, and the owls reduced vole populations within their
 estimated breeding territories by 63% (± SE: 53%–70%) compared with the
 predicted density without owls. Owls preferred to nest in orchards with
 higher vole population densities in April. Our findings also indicate that
 higher occupancy rates are possible by distributing nest boxes based on
 Ural owl breeding territory size (306 m radius circle in our study). 4.
 Synthesis and applications. As breeding Ural owls provided significant
 pest control effects within their breeding territories, the
 re-introduction of breeding Ural owl pairs within orchards will contribute
 to rodent pest control. Promoting the reproduction of native raptors in
 agricultural areas can be an option for developing integrated pest
 management while simultaneously maintaining regional
 biodiversity.04-Oct-2018

title: Data from: An echinoderm Lagerstätte from the Upper Ordovician (Katian), Ontario: taxonomic re-evaluation and description of new dicyclic camerate crinoids

description: The Upper Ordovician (lower Katian) Bobcaygeon and Verulam formations from
 the Lake Simcoe region of Ontario contain a highly diverse echinoderm
 assemblage that is herein recognized as a Konservat-Lagerstätte. Although
 fossil crinoids have long been recognized from these formations, the fauna
 has not received a comprehensive taxonomic evaluation since Springer’s
 classic 1911 monograph. Recent extensive collection and preparation of new
 material from the Bobcaygeon and Verulam formations near Brechin, Ontario
 recovered numerous exceptionally preserved crinoid specimens with arms,
 stems, and attachment structures intact. The Brechin Lagerstätte is the
 most taxonomically diverse Katian crinoid fauna, with more than 20 crinoid
 genera represented in this collection. Here, all dicyclic crinoids
 belonging to subclass Camerata from the Brechin Lagerstätte are evaluated.
 The following four genera and seven species are described from the fauna,
 including one new genus and four new species: Reteocrinus stellaris,
 Reteocrinus alveolatus, Archaeocrinus sundayi n. sp., Archaeocrinus
 maraensis n. sp., Priscillacrinus elegans n. gen. n. sp., Cleiocrinus
 regius, and Cleiocrinus lepidotus n. sp. The exceptional preservation of
 this collection provides an opportunity to describe more fully the
 morphologic and ontogenetic details of known Ordovician crinoid taxa, to
 conduct a taxonomic re-evaluation of many species, to describe new taxa,
 and to provide a framework for subsequent studies of crinoid community
 paleoecology.

title: Data from: Memory for lectures: how lecture format impacts the learning experience

description: The present study investigated what impact the presentation style of a
 classroom lecture has on memory, mind wandering, and the subjective
 factors of interest and motivation. We examined if having a professor
 lecturing live versus on video alters the learning experience of the
 students in the classroom. During the lectures, students were asked to
 report mind wandering and later complete a memory test. The lecture format
 was manipulated such that all the students received two lectures, one live
 and one a pre-recorded video. Results indicate that lecture format
 affected memory performance but not mind wandering, with enhanced memory
 in the live lectures. Additionally, students reported greater interest and
 motivation in the live lectures. Given that a single change to the
 classroom environment, professor presence, impacted memory performance, as
 well as motivation and interest, the present results have several key
 implications for technology-based integrations into higher education
 classrooms.

title: Data from: Differential allocation of parental investment and the trade-off between size and number of offspring

description: When parents decide how much to invest in current versus future offspring
 and how many offspring to divide their current investments between, the
 optimal decision can be affected by the quality of their partner. This
 differential allocation (DA) is highly dependent on exactly how partner
 quality affects reproductive costs and offspring benefits. We present a
 stochastic dynamic model of DA in which females care for a series of
 clutches when mated with males of different quality. In each reproductive
 event, females choose the size and number of offspring. We find that if
 partner quality affects reproductive costs, then DA in total reproductive
 investment occurs only via changes in the number of offspring. DA in the
 optimal size of the offspring occurs only if partner quality affects the
 offspring benefit function. This is mostly in the form of greater female
 investment per offspring as male quality decreases. Simultaneously, we
 find adaptive DA increases in the number of offspring, and thus the amount
 of total investment, as male quality increases. Only certain model
 scenarios produce the positive DA in offspring size seen in empirical
 studies, providing a predictive framework for DA and how partner quality
 affects reproductive costs and offspring benefits.

title: Data from: The impact of bottlenecks on microbial survival, adaptation and phenotypic switching in host-pathogen interactions

description: Microbial pathogens and viruses can often maintain sufficient population
 diversity to evade a wide range of host immune responses. However, when
 populations experience bottlenecks, as occurs frequently during initiation
 of new infections, pathogens require specialized mechanisms to regenerate
 diversity. We address the evolution of such mechanisms, known as
 stochastic phenotype switches, which are prevalent in pathogenic bacteria.
 We analyze a model of pathogen diversification in a changing host
 environment that accounts for selective bottlenecks, wherein different
 phenotypes have distinct transmission probabilities between hosts. We show
 that under stringent bottlenecks, such that only one phenotype can
 initiate new infections, there exists a threshold stochastic switching
 rate below which all pathogen lineages go extinct, and above which
 survival is a near certainty. We determine how quickly stochastic
 switching rates can evolve by computing a fitness landscape for the
 evolutionary dynamics of switching rates, and analyzing its dependence on
 both the stringency of bottlenecks and the duration of within-host growth
 periods. We show that increasing the stringency of bottlenecks or
 decreasing the period of growth results in faster adaptation of switching
 rates. Our model provides strong theoretical evidence that bottlenecks
 play a critical role in accelerating the evolutionary dynamics of
 pathogens.
