title: Faunal input at host plants: can Camelthorn trees use nutrients imported by resident Sociable weavers?

description: “Islands of fertility” result from the focussing of water and nutrients
 around many shrub- or tree species due to plants foraging for resources.
 Plant-animal feedbacks may amplify the development of such islands through
 environmental modification due to, for example, faunal deposition of
 nutrients and seeds. Fauna residing within vegetation clumps are likely to
 exert stronger feedbacks on their hosts than itinerant species. We studied
 the interaction between camelthorn trees (Vachellia erioloba) and the
 colonial nests of sociable weavers (Philetairus socius) in the Kalahari.
 We hypothesised that the accumulation of biological material below the
 nests will alter the nutrient status of the soil beneath the nest trees,
 in relation to unoccupied trees and the surrounding grassland. We also
 suggested that this association will have both positive and negative
 effects on the camelthorn trees. We found that soil concentrations of N, P
 and K were respectively 4, 4.6 and 1.2 times higher below trees with nests
 compared to control trees, indicating faunal concentration of nutrients.
 Soil δ15N values were higher below trees with than below control trees
 without nests. Foliar δ15N values were also higher in nest trees than in
 control trees, showing the trees accessed faunally-derived N. Furthermore,
 foliar biomass per diameter of terminal branches was 27% higher in nest
 trees, suggesting that trees respond to nutrient input from the weavers
 with increased growth. Large barren areas in the sub-canopy vegetation
 directly beneath the colonies were attributed to decreased water
 infiltration rates as a result of accumulation of organic matter due to
 continuous deposition of faeces, possibly limiting competitive species
 from establishing in the sub-canopy. On the other hand, canopy volume was
 reduced in trees with nests due to nests occupying large volumes within
 the canopy and nests frequently causing branch fall, indicating costs
 associated with hosting weaver colonies.

title: Seasonal monitoring of Drosophila suzukii and its non-crop hosts in Wuhu, Eastern China

description: Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is a serious pest
 that prefers fresh fruits native to Southeast Asia. In our study apple
 cider vinegar bait traps were used to capture and monitor the population
 dynamics of this native pest in Wuhu City, China, from May/June, 2017 to
 May, 2018. The research was conducted at 15 locations in two fruit
 orchards in Wuhu. Traps caught more adults in general in Meiling blueberry
 orchard than in Xicun mixed orchard, and the highest trap counts occurred
 near harvest time (October). Females had more mature eggs from September
 to November and the number of mature eggs declined thereafter. We found
 several non-crop hosts of this pest, which can provide food and
 reproductive resources for D. suzukii, are common in forests and field
 margins. By comparing the number of captured adults in the Meiling and
 Xicun orchards, we found that blueberry was preferred by D. suzukii among
 the fruits in our search. Fruit ripening time differed among crops and
 therefore fly populations moved between crop and non-crop habitats during
 the year or had varying population dynamics on different crops in
 different seasons. The D. suzukii population and the number of mature eggs
 decreased in summer and winter but increased in spring and autumn.
 Drosophila suzukii had higher survival rates on blueberry than other
 fruits and D. suzukii could use four non-crop species growing around the
 orchards as host plants.

 (Nanling) and Station 58338 (Wuhu) for the Meiling and Xicun sites,
 respectively. Weather data were
 downloaded from China Meteorological Data
 Service Center (http://data.cma.cn). Data of the mature numbers is collected by dissecting adult female <em>D.suzukii.</em> All above data is original data.

title: Cerebrovascular disease progression in patients with ACTA2 Arg179 pathogenic variants supplementary materials

description: Our study entitled “Cerebrovascular disease progression in patients with
 ACTA2 Arg179 Pathogenic Variants” examines progression of imaging
 biomarkers of stroke, arterial steno-occlusive disease and white matter
 injury in patients with smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome caused by
 mutations in the ACTA2 gene (ACTA2 Arg179 pathogenic variants). We found
 characteristic patterns of acute white matter ischemic injury
 and progressive internal carotid artery stenosis on MRI.
 Longitudinal analysis showed both stable and progressive lesion
 entities. The data was collected on various scanner setups. To eliminate
 potential bias related to improving imaging technology we re-analyzed
 imaging markers for those patients with available longitudinal imaging on
 an identical scanner setups and present the data in supplementary table
 e-1. Supplementary table e-2 shows results of a comparison of imaging
 markers between male and female sex.

title: Scripts and files for "Small-scale population divergence is driven by local larval environment in a temperate amphibian"

description: Genomic variation within and among populations is shaped by the interplay
 between natural selection and the effects of genetic drift and gene flow.
 Adaptive divergence can be found in small scale natural systems even when
 population sizes are small and the potential for gene flow is high,
 suggesting that local environments exert selection pressures strong enough
 to counteract the opposing effects of drift and gene flow. Here, we
 investigated genomic differentiation in nine moor frog (Rana arvalis)
 populations in a small-scale network of local wetlands using 16 707
 ddRAD-seq SNPs, relating levels of differentiation with local environments
 as well as with properties of the surrounding landscape. We characterized
 population structure and differentiation, and partitioned the effects of
 geographic distance, local larval environment and landscape features on
 total genomic variation. We also conducted gene-environment association
 studies using univariate and multivariate approaches. We found small-scale
 population structure corresponding to 6-8 clusters. Local larval
 environment was the most influential component explaining 2.3% of the
 total genetic variation followed by landscape features (1.8%) and
 geographic distance (0.8%), indicative of isolation-by-environment,
 -by-landscape and -by-distance, respectively. We identified 1000 potential
 candidate SNPs putatively under divergent selection mediated by the local
 larval environment. The candidate SNPs were involved in, among other
 biological functions, immune system function and development. Our results
 suggest that small scale environmental differences can exert selection
 pressures strong enough to counteract homogenizing effects of gene flow
 and drift in this small-scale system leading to observable population
 differentiation.
description: <em>Rana arvalis</em> eggs were collected from
 populations inhabiting ponds in a small scale network of interconnected
 wetlands and raised in a common garden untill metamorphosis. We also
 measured a number of environmental and landscape variables within and
 around each pond. DNA was extracted from individual metamorphs and
 sequenced using a ddRAD-seq approach and sequencing data were processed in
 STACKS v2.1. Filtered variant files were analyzed using various population
 genetics/landscape ecology packages in R.

title: Modelled spatiotemporally explicit fish densities at different fisheries management scenarios

description: Conflicts of interest between resource extraction and conservation are
 widespread, and negotiating such conflicts or trade-offs is a key issue
 for ecosystem managers. One such trade-off is resource competition between
 fisheries and marine top predators. Managing this trade-off has so far
 been difficult due to a lack of knowledge regarding the amount and
 distribution of prey required by top predators. Here, we develop a
 framework that can be used to address this gap: a bio-energetic model
 linking top predator breeding biology and foraging ecology with forage
 fish ecology and fisheries management. We apply the framework to a Baltic
 Sea colony of common guillemots Uria aalge and
 razorbills Alca torda, two seabird species sensitive to local
 prey depletion, and show that densities of forage fish
 (sprat Sprattus sprattus and herring Clupea
 harengus) corresponding to the current fisheries management target
 BMSY are sufficient for successful breeding. A
 previously proposed fisheries management target for conserving seabirds,
 1/3 of historical maximum prey biomass (B1/3), was also sufficient.
 However, the results highlight the importance of maintaining sufficient
 prey densities in the vicinity of the colony, suggesting that fine-scale
 spatial fisheries management is necessary to maintain high seabird
 breeding success. Despite foraging on the same prey, razorbills could
 breed successfully at lower prey densities than guillemots but needed
 higher densities for self-maintenance, emphasizing the importance of
 considering species-specific traits when determining sustainable forage
 fish densities for top predators. Synthesis and application. Our
 bio-energetic modelling framework provides spatially explicit top predator
 conservation targets that can be readily integrated with current fisheries
 management. The framework can be combined with existing management
 approaches such as Dynamic Ocean Management, Marine Spatial Planning and
 Management Strategy Evaluation to inform ecosystem-based management of
 marine resources.

title: Effects of pulsating heat source on interstitial fluid transport in tumor tissues

description: Macromolecules and drug delivery to solid  tumors is strongly
 influenced by fluid flow through interstitium, and pressure-induced tissue
 deformations can have a role in this. Recently, it has been shown that
 temperature-induced tissue deformation can influence interstitial fluid
 velocity and pressure fields, too. In this paper, the effect of
 modulating-heat strategies to influence interstitial fluid transport in
 tissues is analyzed. The whole tumor tissue is modeled as a deformable
 porous material, where the solid phase is made up by extracellular matrix
 and cells, while the fluid phase is the interstitial fluid that moves
 through the solid matrix driven by fluid pressure gradient and vascular
 capillaries that are modelled as uniformly interspersed fluid
 point-source. Pulsating-heat generation is modeled with a time-variable
 cosine function starting from a direct current approach to solve voltage
 equation, for different pulsations. From the steady-state solution, a
 step-variation of vascular pressure included in the model equation as a
 mass source term via Starling equation is simulated. Dimensionless 1D
 radial equations are numerically solved with a finite element-scheme.
 Results are presented in terms of temperature, volumetric strain, pressure
 and velocity profiles under different conditions. It is shown that a
 modulating-heat procedure influences velocity fields, that might have a
 consequence in terms of mass transport for macromolecules or drug
 delivery.
description: These data have been generated from numerical simulations on a
 mathematical model for interstitial flow through tumor tissues by
 considering thermal and mechanical effects too.

title: Livestock grazing promotes ecosystem multifunctionality of a coastal saltmarsh

description: The effects of livestock grazing on grasslands have garnered much
 attention; however, little is known about how grazing affects ecosystems’
 ability to simultaneously support multiple ecosystem functions (i.e.,
 ecosystem multifunctionality, hereafter EMF) in coastal saltmarshes. To
 comprehensively evaluate the ecological effects of livestock grazing and
 tidal flooding on saltmarshes, we conducted a grazing-exclusion experiment
 in the high and middle marsh zones of the Yangtze River Estuary, China.
 Livestock grazing generally enhanced EMF in the salt marshes, with a
 stronger impact in the middle marshes than in the high ones. Although
 plant biomass, aboveground N of plants, soil organic C, and sediment
 deposition rate decreased under grazing, activities of soil microbes and
 nematodes, soil N pool, N mineralization, decomposition and soil
 respiration increased. Synthesis and applications. We suggest that tidal
 flooding and associated replenishment of sediments may mitigate the
 negative effects of grazing on plants and sedimentation and strengthen
 positive grazing impacts on nutrient cycling, consequently reinforcing the
 beneficial effects of livestock grazing on the saltmarsh ecosystem
 multifunctionality. Our results provide a holistic framework of
 ecosystem-level responses to livestock grazing in saltmarshes and
 highlight the regulatory role of external environmental factors such as
 tidal flooding. Although livestock grazing enhanced the overall EMF of
 saltmarshes in our study, it was not necessarily desirable for ecosystem
 services.  Integration of ecosystem function-multifunctionality
 and ecosystem service-multifunctionality of saltmarshes need to be
 recommended in future multifunctionality studies.

title: The way bioclimatic variables are calculated has impact on potential distribution models

description: 1. Bioclimatic variables (BCVs) are routinely used in potential
 distribution models, typically without considering their calculation
 options in detail. We aimed at studying the impact of a decision, yet
 unexamined, on the calculation of BCVs, namely whether the identity of
 specific months/quarters in the calculation of BCVs should be updated for
 the future periods (temporal context). Effects on the performance of
 potential distribution models and on their projections were investigated.
 Additionally, we also aimed at comparing the impact of month/quarter
 shifts to that of climate model selection and covariate selection. 2.
 Potential natural vegetation models encompassing eight habitat types and
 the whole territory of Hungary were created using boosted regression
 trees. We tested multiple initial covariate sets to compare the impact of
 the temporal context to that of covariate selection. The resulting models
 were applied to the reference and one future time period (with data from
 two regional climate models). The effect of the BCV calculation approach
 was tested by linear mixed-effects models and model goodness-of-fit
 measures in a comprehensive framework of 192 predictions. Area Under the
 ROC Curve (AUC) and True Positive Rate (TPR) curves were used to evaluate
 the models. 3. Our results show that (1) temporal context of BCVs in
 interaction with covariate selection had a strong effect on model
 structure as well as on projections; (2) no evidence supporting the
 superiority of the widely applied calculation approach of BCVs was found.
 However, we found notable differences under the two approaches and
 examples of projection artefacts when applying the widespread way of
 calculation. 4. We conclude that (1) more attention and more transparent
 communication is needed when BCVs are used as covariates in distribution
 models; (2) not only ecophysiology but also the way covariates are
 calculated should be considered when preselecting covariates for potential
 distribution models.

title: Data from: Why we should care about movements: Using spatially explicit integrated population models to assess habitat source-sink dynamics

description: 1. Assessing the source-sink status of populations and habitats is of
 major importance for understanding population dynamics and for the
 management of natural populations. Sources produce a net surplus of
 individuals (per capita contribution to the metapopulation &gt;1) and
 will be the main contributors for self-sustaining populations, whereas
 sinks produce a deficit (contribution &lt; 1). However, making these
 types of assessments is generally hindered by the problem of separating
 mortality from permanent emigration, especially when survival
 probabilities as well as moved distances are habitat-specific. 2. To
 address this long-standing issue, we propose a spatial multi-event
 Integrated Population Model (IPM) that incorporates habitat-specific
 dispersal distances of individuals. Using information about local
 movements, this IPM adjusts survival estimates for emigration outside the
 study area. 3. Analyzing 24 years of data on a farmland passerine (the
 northern wheatear Oenanthe oenanthe) we assessed habitat-specific
 contributions, and hence the source-sink status and temporal variation of
 two key breeding habitats, while accounting for habitat- and sex-specific
 local dispersal distances of juveniles and adults. We then examined the
 sensitivity of the source-sink analysis by comparing results with and
 without accounting for these local movements. 4. Estimates of first-year
 survival, and consequently habitat-specific contributions, were higher
 when local movement data were included. The consequences from including
 movement data were sex specific, with contribution shifting from sink to
 likely source in one habitat for males, and previously noted habitat
 differences for females disappearing. 5. Assessing the source-sink status
 of habitats is extremely challenging. We show that our spatial IPM
 accounting for local movements can reduce biases in estimates of the
 contribution by different habitats, and thus reduce the overestimation of
 the occurrence of sink habitats. This approach allows combining all
 available data on demographic rates and movements, which will allow better
 assessment of source-sink dynamics and better informed conservation
 interventions.

title: Effects of snake fungal disease on short-term survival, behavior, and movement in free-ranging snakes

description: Pathogenic fungi are increasingly associated with epidemics in wildlife
 populations. Snake fungal disease (SFD) is an emerging threat to snakes,
 taxa that are elusive and difficult to sample. Thus, assessments of the
 impacts of SFD on populations have rarely occurred. We used a field
 technique to enhance detection, Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT)
 telemetry, and a multistate capture-mark-recapture model to assess SFD
 effects on short-term (within-season) survival, movement, and surface
 activity of two wild snake species, Regina septemvittata (Queensnakes) and
 Nerodia sipedon (Common Watersnakes). We were unable to detect an effect
 of disease state on short-term survival for either species. However, we
 estimated Bayesian posterior probabilities of &gt;0.99 that R.
 septemvittata with SFD spent more time surface-active and were less likely
 to permanently emigrate from the study area. We also estimated
 probabilities of 0.98 and 0.87 that temporary immigration and temporary
 emigration rates were lower in diseased R. septemvittata. We found
 evidence of elevated surface activity and lower temporary immigration
 rates in diseased N. sipedon, with estimated probabilities of 0.89, and
 found considerably less support for differences in permanent or temporary
 emigration rates. This study is the first to yield estimates for key
 demographic and behavioral parameters (survival, emigration, surface
 activity) of snakes in wild populations afflicted with SFD. Given the
 increase in surface activity of diseased snakes, future surveys of snake
 populations should explore longer-term demographic consequences of SFD and
 recognize that disease prevalence in surface-active animals may exceed
 that of the population as a whole.

title: Impact of dietary treatments on longevity and body weight of Apis mellifera winter bees

description: In eusocial honey bees, Apis mellifera, diet, gut microbiota and nestmates
 can all contribute to the health of freshly-emerged individual workers,
 but their relative importance for longevity and body weight is currently
 unknown. Here, we show that diet is most relevant, followed by gut
 microbiota and the presence of nestmates. Freshly emerged workers were
 randomly assigned to eight treatments (with or without honey/pollen,
 protein-substitute lactalbumin, antibiotic tetracycline and nestmates for
 24 h) and maintained under standardized laboratory conditions.
 Longevity and food consumption were measured daily and fresh body weight
 was assessed at day seven. The data show a significantly better survival
 and a higher body weight in workers supplied with honey/pollen. Survival
 was higher in the lactalbumin treatments compared to the ones restricted
 to sucrose only, but lower compared to those with honey/pollen,
 highlighting the importance of micronutrients. In contrast, antibiotic
 treatment had a significant negative effect on longevity and body weight,
 which may be explained by inactivated gut microbiota and/or toxicity of
 the antibiotics. There was no positive effect of nestmates, probably due
 to the short exposure period. In contrast, nestmates showed a negative
 effect on survival in antibiotic-treated workers, possibly by transmitting
 pathogens and antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis. In conclusion, a macro-
 and micronutrient-rich diet appears to be the key to individual honey bee
 worker health. Providing an optimal diet and possibly gut microbiota
 appears to be a promising way to promote managed A. mellifera
 health.
