title: Data from: Genetic variation in aggregation behaviour and interacting phenotypes in Drosophila

description: Aggregation behaviour is the tendency for animals to group together which
 may have important consequences on individual fitness. We used a
 combination of experimental and simulation approaches to study how genetic
 variation and social environment interact to influence aggregation
 dynamics in Drosophila. To do this, we use two different natural lines of
 Drosophila that arise from a polymorphism in the foraging gene (“rovers”
 and “sitters”). We placed groups of flies in a heated arena. Flies could
 freely move towards one of two small, cooler refuge areas. In groups of
 the same strain, sitters had a greater tendency to aggregate. The observed
 behavioural variation was based on only two parameters: the probability of
 entering a refuge and the likelihood of choosing a refuge based on the
 number of individuals present. We then directly addressed how different
 strains interact by mixing rovers and sitters within a group. Aggregation
 behaviour of each line was strongly affected by the presence of the other
 strain, without changing the decision rules used by each. Individuals
 obeying local rules shaped complex group dynamics via a constant feedback
 loop between the individual and the group. This study could help to
 identify the circumstances under which particular group compositions may
 improve individual fitness through underlying aggregation mechanisms under
 specific environmental conditions.

title: Data from: Morphological evolution in the mullberry family (Moraceae)

description: The mulberry family Moraceae comprises 37 genera and approximately 1,100
 species distributed throughout tropical and temperate regions worldwide.
 Moraceae exhibit a complex array of inflorescence architectures, breeding
 systems, and pollination syndromes, which forms the basis of traditional
 taxonomic classification. However, morphologically based classification
 conflicts with evolutionary relationships proposed by molecular
 phylogenetics. In this study we assembled a morphological character matrix
 for analysis separately and in combination with existing molecular data.
 We evaluated 81 vegetative, reproductive, and wood anatomical characters
 for 94 species representing nearly all Moraceae genera. Using parsimony
 and Bayesian methods, these characters were evaluated with respect to ndhF
 chloroplast and 26S nuclear DNA sequences. Topological comparisons tested
 whether opposing classification schemes are more or less supported by the
 data. Results did not support any classification of Moraceae based on
 morphology. We present a revised tribal classification and describe a new
 tribe, Maclureae, revise the membership of tribe Castilleae and describe
 two subtribes, Castillineae and Antiaropsineae, and reinstate the genera
 Malaisia (including Malaisia scandens) and Sloetia (including Sloetia
 elongata). Lastly we discuss the evolution of inflorescence architecture
 in relation to other floral features.

title: Data from: A combined field survey and molecular identification protocol for comparing forest arthropod biodiversity across spatial scales

description: Obtaining fundamental biodiversity metrics such as alpha, beta and gamma
 diversity for arthropods is often complicated by a lack of prior taxonomic
 information and/or taxonomic expertise, which can result in unreliable
 morphologically based estimates. We provide a set of standardized
 ecological and molecular sampling protocols that can be employed by
 researchers whose taxonomic skills may be limited, and where there may be
 a lack of robust a priori information regarding the regional pool of
 species. These protocols combine mass sampling of arthropods,
 classification of samples into parataxonomic units (PUs) and selective
 sampling of individuals for mtDNA sequencing to infer biological species.
 We sampled ten lowland rainforest plots located on the volcanic oceanic
 island of Réunion (Mascarene archipelago) for spiders, a group with
 limited taxonomic and distributional data for this region. We classified
 adults and juveniles into PUs and then demonstrated the reconciliation of
 these units with presumed biological species using mtDNA sequence data,
 ecological data and distributional data. Because our species assignment
 protocol is not reliant upon prior taxonomic information, or taxonomic
 expertise, it minimizes the problem of the Linnean shortfall to yield
 diversity estimates that can be directly compared across independent
 studies. Field sampling can be extended to other arthropod groups and
 habitats by adapting our field sampling protocol accordingly.

title: Data from: Dung odours signal sex, age, territorial and oestrous state in white rhinos

description: Mammals commonly communicate olfactorily via urine. However, the extent to
 which they communicate via dung, another waste product, is unknown.
 Behavioural studies suggest that mammals can obtain information from dung
 odours but are unclear about the information transmitted. Moreover, an
 understanding of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from dung
 is limited. To address this, we analysed the odours emitted from the dung
 of free-ranging white rhinos, and found that 2,3-dimethylundecane
 signalled an individual's sex, heptanal discriminated age class,
 nonane defined male territorial status and 2,6-dimethylundecane indicated
 female oestrous state. To validate these findings, we artificially
 reproduced key elements of the territorial and oestrous odour profiles
 (i.e. profiles likely to elicit behavioural responses from receivers). We
 then exposed free-ranging territorial males to these odours. In response,
 males elicited behaviours associated with the specific odours (e.g.
 territorial male (potential threat): reduced latency in assuming
 vigilance; oestrous female (potential mate): increased investigation).
 These results indicate that the VOCs identified from the dung of
 free-ranging individuals do transmit key information. Moreover, as white
 rhinos of all ages and sexes defecate communally, middens probably act as
 information centres. Furthermore, as many other mammals defecate
 communally, olfactory communication via dung odours is likely a widespread
 phenomenon.

title: Data from: Fitness dynamics within a poplar hybrid zone: II. Impact of exotic sex on native poplars in an urban jungle.

description: Trees bearing novel or exotic gene components are poised to contribute to
 the bioeconomy for a variety of purposes such as bioenergy production,
 phytoremediation, and carbon sequestration within the forestry sector, but
 sustainable release of trees with novel traits in large-scale plantations
 requires the quantification of risks posed to native tree populations.
 Over the last century, exotic hybrid poplars produced through artificial
 crosses were planted throughout eastern Canada as ornamentals or
 windbreaks and these exotics provide a proxy by which to examine the
 fitness of exotic poplar traits within the natural environment to assess
 risk of exotic gene escape, establishment, and spread into native gene
 pools. We assessed postzygotic fitness traits of native and exotic poplars
 within a naturally regenerated stand in eastern Canada (Quebec City, QC).
 Pure natives (P. balsamifera and P. deltoides spp. deltoides), native
 hybrids (P. deltoides × P. balsamifera), and exotic hybrids (trees bearing
 Populus nigra and P. maximowiczii genetic components) were screened for
 reproductive biomass, yield, seed germination, and fungal disease
 susceptibility. Exotic hybrids expressed fitness traits intermediate to
 pure species and were not significantly different from native hybrids.
 They formed fully viable seed and backcrossed predominantly with P.
 balsamifera. These data show that exotic hybrids were not unfit and were
 capable of establishing and competing within the native stand. Future
 research will seek to examine the impact of exotic gene regions on
 associated biotic communities to fully quantify the risk exotic poplars
 pose to native poplar forests.

title: Data from: Artificial selection on allometry: change in elevation but not slope

description: To what extent within-species (static) allometries constitute a constraint
 on evolution is the subject of a long-standing debate in evolutionary
 biology. A prerequisite for the constraint hypothesis is that static
 allometries are hard to change. Several studies have attempted to test
 this hypothesis with artificial-selection experiments, but their results
 remain inconclusive due to various methodological issues. Here, we present
 results from an experiment in which we selected independently on the slope
 and the elevation of the allometric relation between caudal-fin size and
 body size in male guppies (Poecilia reticulata). After three episodes of
 selection, the allometric elevation (i.e. intercept at constant slope) had
 diverged markedly between the lines selected to increase or decrease it,
 and showed a realized heritability of 50%. In contrast, the allometric
 slope remained unaffected by selection. These results suggest that the
 allometric elevation is more evolvable than the allometric slope, this
 latter representing a potential constraint on adaptive trait evolution. To
 our knowledge, this study is the first artificial-selection experiment
 that directly tests the evolvability of static allometric slopes.

title: Data from: Islands within an island: repeated adaptive divergence in a single population

description: Physical barriers to gene flow were once viewed as prerequisites for
 adaptive evolutionary divergence. However, a growing body of theoretical
 and empirical work suggests that divergence can proceed within a single
 population. Here we document genetic structure and spatially-replicated
 patterns of phenotypic divergence within a bird species endemic to 250 km2
 Santa Cruz Island, California, USA. Island scrub-jays (Aphelocoma
 insularis) in three separate stands of pine habitat had longer, shallower
 bills than jays in oak habitat, a pattern that mirrors adaptive
 differences between allopatric populations of the species’ mainland
 congener. Variation in both bill measurements was heritable, and island
 scrub-jays mated non-randomly with respect to bill morphology. The
 population was not panmictic; instead, we found a continuous pattern of
 isolation by distance across the east-west axis of the island, as well as
 a subtle genetic discontinuity across the boundary between the largest
 pine stand and adjacent oak habitat. The ecological factors that appear to
 have facilitated adaptive differentiation at such a fine
 scale—environmental heterogeneity and localized dispersal—are ubiquitous
 in nature. These findings support recent arguments that microgeographic
 patterns of adaptive divergence may be more common than currently
 appreciated, even in mobile taxonomic groups like birds.

title: Data from: Integrating phylogeography and paleoecology to investigate the origin and dynamics of hybrid zones: insights from two widespread North American firs

description: Secondary contact between closely related taxa routinely occurs during
 postglacial migrations. After initial contact, the location of hybrid
 zones may shift geographically or remain spatially stable over time in
 response to various selective pressures or neutral processes. Studying the
 extent and direction of introgression using markers having contrasted
 levels of gene flow can help unravel the historical dynamics of hybrid
 zones. Thanks to their contrasted maternal and paternal inheritance,
 resulting in different levels of gene flow for mitochondrial and
 chloroplast DNA (mtDNA and cpDNA), the Pinaceae stand out as a relevant
 biological model for this purpose. The objective of the study was to
 assess whether the hybrid zone between Abies balsamea and Abies lasiocarpa
 (two largely distributed Pinaceae) has moved or remained stable over time
 by analysing the distribution of cytoplasmic DNA variation as well as
 published palaeobotanical data. Interspecific gene flow was higher for
 cpDNA than mtDNA markers; hence, the geographic distribution of mitotypes
 was more congruent with species distributions than chlorotypes. This
 genetic signature was contrary to expectations under a moving hybrid zone
 scenario, as well as empirical observations in other conifers. Genetic
 evidence for this rare instance of stable hybrid zone was corroborated by
 the colonization chronology derived from published fossil data, indicating
 that the two fir species initially came into contact in the area
 corresponding to the current sympatric zone 11 kyr ago. While an
 explanatory analysis suggested the putative influence of various
 environmental factors on the relative abundance of cytoplasmic genome
 combinations, further research appears necessary to assess the role of
 both demographic history and selective factors in driving the dynamics of
 hybrid zones.

title: Data from: Comparison of self-perceived cardiovascular disease risk among smokers with Framingham and PROCAM scores: a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from a randomised controlled trial

description: Objectives: Previous studies suggest that smokers have a misperception of
 their 10-year cardiovascular risk. We aimed to compare 10-year
 cardiovascular risk self-perception and calculated risk among smokers
 willing to quit and assess the determinants of a possible misperception.
 Design: Cross-sectional secondary analysis of baseline data from a
 randomized controlled trial of smoking cessation. Participants: 514
 participants, mean age 51.1 years, 46% women, 98% Caucasian. Eligible
 participants were regular smokers, aged between 40 and 70 years, with a
 consumption of at least 10 cigarettes per day for at least a year. None of
 them had experienced CVD before. Exclusion criteria comprised history of
 myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, heart
 failure, peripheral vascular disease, carotid atherosclerosis or cardiac
 arrhythmia. Participants with renal or liver failure, psychiatric
 disorders, substance and alcohol abuse and with smoking cessation
 therapies were excluded. Interventions: Participants were asked to
 estimate their 10-year cardiovascular risk using a 3-item scale
 corresponding to high, moderate and low risk categories. We compared their
 risk perception with the Framingham and Procam score. We used
 multi-variable adjusted logistic regression models to determine
 characteristics of participants who underestimate their risk vs. those who
 correctly or overestimate it. Results: Between 38-42% of smokers correctly
 perceived their 10-year cardiovascular risk, 39-50% overestimated their
 10-year cardiovascular risk while 12-19% underestimated it compared to
 their calculated 10-year cardiovascular risk depending on the score used.
 Underestimation of 10-year cardiovascular risk was associated with male
 gender (OR 8.16; CI 3.83-17.36), older age (OR 1.06; CI 1.02-1.09), and
 the presence of hyperlipidemia (OR 2.71; CI 1.47-5.01) and diabetes
 mellitus (OR 13.93; CI 3.83-50.66). Conclusions: Among smokers,
 misperception of their 10-year cardiovascular risk is common, with one
 fifth underestimating it. These findings may help physicians target
 patients with such characteristics to help them change their health
 behavior and adherence to risk-reduction therapy.

title: Data from: Increasing belief but issue fatigue: changes in Australian Household Climate Change Segments between 2011 and 2016

description: We applied the segmentation methodology developed by Leiserowitz, Maibach,
 and Roser-Renouf (2009) to national Australian samples collected in 2011
 (n=1927) and 2016 (n=2503). In both samples we identified six Australian
 household segments which we labelled alarmed, concerned, cautious,
 disengaged, doubtful and dismissive. Between the two periods, we found the
 proportion of households in the alarmed and concerned segments was stable;
 however there was a decrease (28% to 20%) in the proportion of households
 in the doubtful and dismissive segments and an increase (27% to 33%) in
 the cautious and disengaged segments. We found that a greater proportion
 of households have personally experienced climate change, and were more
 likely to believe in human causation and believe that there is a
 scientific consensus about the issue. However, there was evidence of issue
 fatigue. Households were less likely to report that they had thought about
 climate change or talked about it with their friends in 2016 relative to
 2011. They were also less likely to pursue certain climate friendly
 behaviours or reward or punish companies for their climate behaviours.
 These findings suggest a need to motivate households to maintain efforts
 to mitigate climate change, particularly the cautious and disengaged
 households that are more amenable to changing their views about this
 issue.

title: Data from: Cell-size distribution in epithelial tissue formation and homeostasis

description: How cell growth and proliferation are orchestrated in living tissues to
 achieve a given biological function is a central problem in biology.
 During development, tissue regeneration and homeostasis, cell
 proliferation must be coordinated by spatial cues in order for cells to
 attain the correct size and shape. Biological tissues also feature a
 notable homogeneity of cell size, which, in specific cases, represents a
 physiological need. Here, we study the temporal evolution of the cell-size
 distribution by applying the theory of kinetic fragmentation to tissue
 development and homeostasis. Our theory predicts self-similar probability
 density function (PDF) of cell size and explains how division times and
 redistribution ensure cell size homogeneity across the tissue. Theoretical
 predictions and numerical simulations of confluent non-homeostatic tissue
 cultures show that cell size distribution is self-similar. Our
 experimental data confirm predictions and reveal that, as assumed in the
 theory, cell division times scale like a power-law of the cell size. We
 find that in homeostatic conditions there is a stationary distribution
 with lognormal tails, consistently with our experimental data. Our
 theoretical predictions and numerical simulations show that the shape of
 the PDF depends on how the space inherited by apoptotic cells is
 redistributed and that apoptotic cell rates might also depend on size.
