title: Data from: Plant species roles in pollination networks: an experimental approach

description: Pollination is an important ecosystem service threatened by current
 pollinator declines, making flower planting schemes an important strategy
 to recover pollination function. However, ecologists rarely test the
 attractiveness of chosen plants to pollinators in the field. Here, we
 experimentally test whether plant species roles in pollination networks
 can be used to identify species with the most potential to recover
 plant-pollinator communities. Using published pollination networks, we
 calculated each plant’s centrality and chose five central and five
 peripheral plant species for introduction into replicate experimental
 plots. Flower visitation by pollinators was recorded in each plot and we
 tested the impact of introduced central and peripheral plant species on
 the pollinator and resident plant communities and on network structure. We
 found that the introduction of central plant species attracted a higher
 richness and abundance of pollinators than the introduction of peripheral
 species, and that the introduced central plant species occupied the most
 important network roles. The high attractiveness of central species to
 pollinators, however, did not negatively affect visitation to resident
 plant species by pollinators. We also found that the introduction of
 central plant species did not affect network structure, while networks
 with introduced peripheral species had lower centralisation and
 interaction evenness than networks with introduced central species. To our
 knowledge, this is the first time species network roles have been tested
 in a field experiment. Given that most restoration projects start at the
 plant community, being able to identify the plants with the highest
 potential to restore community structure and functioning should be a key
 goal for ecological restoration.

title: Data from: Meta‐analysis supports further refinement of eDNA for monitoring aquatic species‐specific abundance in nature

description: The use of eDNA to detect the presence/absence of rare or invasive species
 is well documented and its use in biodiversity monitoring is expanding.
 Preliminary laboratory research has also shown a positive correlation
 between the concentration of species‐specific eDNA particles and the
 density/biomass of a species in a given environment. However, the extent
 to which these results can be extended to natural environments has yet to
 be formally quantified. We collated data from experiments that examined
 the correlation between eDNA and two metrics of abundance (biomass and
 density) and, using mixed‐effects meta‐analysis, quantified the strength
 of that correlation across laboratory and natural environments. We found
 that eDNA particle concentration was more strongly correlated with
 abundance in laboratory environments compared to natural environments,
 accounting for approximately 82% and 57% of the observed variation in
 abundance, respectively. We found some evidence of potential publication
 bias that may have impacted the estimation of the correlation in natural
 environments; after smaller studies were removed from the dataset, eDNA
 particle concentration accounted for approximately 50% of the observed
 variation in abundance in natural environments. No effect of abundance
 metric was found on the strength of correlation between eDNA particle
 concentration and abundance. Despite a weaker general correlation in
 natural environments, eDNA concentration often still explained substantial
 variation in abundance. eDNA research is still an emergent field of study;
 with only moderate improvements in technology or technique, it could
 represent a powerful new tool for quantifying abundance.

title: Data from: Drought decreases cooperative sentinel behaviour and affects vocal coordination in meerkats

description: Cooperative breeding often evolved in harsh and arid habitats
 characterised by high levels of environmental uncertainty. Most forms of
 cooperative behaviour have energetic costs and previous studies have shown
 that the contributions of individuals to alloparental provisioning are
 conditional on the food intake of individuals. However, the effect of
 naturally occurring, extreme environmental conditions on the persistence
 of costly forms of cooperative behaviours and their coordination by
 communication remain unknown. Here, we show that in meerkats (Suricata
 suricatta) the probability to act as sentinel, a cooperative vigilance
 behaviour, was the same for typically occurring dry and wet conditions,
 but significantly reduced during a drought condition with almost no rain,
 especially in young individuals, members of small groups and groups with
 pups. The duration an individual stayed on sentinel guard, however, was
 most reduced during dry conditions. Besides reductions in sentinel
 behaviour, the vocal coordination of foraging meerkats differed when
 comparing drought and wet conditions. Individuals responded more strongly
 to playbacks of sentinel ‘all-clear’ calls and close calls, resulting in
 less vigilance and more foraging behaviour during the drought condition.
 We conclude that while meerkats are adapted to commonly occurring dry
 periods with low rainfall, the extreme drought period with almost no rain,
 led to a decrease of the frequency of costly forms of cooperative
 behaviours in favour of behaviours that maximize direct fitness benefits
 and also affect the vocal coordination among group members.

title: Impact of Brew House Parameters on Beer Aging: Mapping the German Brewery Landscape

description: Flavor instability of pale lager beer remains one of the greatest challenges for breweries, regardless of their size. While factors such as heat stress, oxygen exposure, and yeast vitality have been extensively explored, the influence of brewhouse materials on the concentration of aging indicators at a real-life scale remains an understudied aspect. This research delved into the intricate relationship between different brewing techniques and aroma-relevant aldehydes, aiming to uncover their potential impact on the flavor instability of beer. In this study, an investigation across 21 diverse breweries with vastly different facilities, ranging in size from 10,000 hL/a to approximately 3.0 million hL/a was performed. Amongst other parameters, aroma-relevant aldehydes were monitored from raw materials (barley malt) through the entire wort production process and in the final beer (fresh, naturally aged and forced aged). The findings revealed continuous decrease of aldehydes throughout the wort production process, and initial levels derived from malt proving to be a relevant factor. Interestingly, despite the variation in brewhouse materials, no clear correlation between these materials and the concentration of the observed aldehydes was observed. However as expected, the direct firing systems showed significantly lower evaporation of aldehydes. This research contributes valuable insights into the brewing industry, offering a nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between brewhouse setup, aroma-relevant aldehydes, and the ultimate flavor instability of beer. By bridging this knowledge gap, brewers can make informed decisions about their raw material usage, brewery setup, and production processes, fostering advancements in the pursuit of consistent beer quality.

title: Data from: Parental care buffers against effects of ambient temperature on offspring performance in an insect

description: Understanding how animals respond to and cope with variation in ambient
 temperature is an important priority. The reason for this is that ambient
 temperature is a key component of the physical environment that influences
 offspring performance in a wide range of ectotherms and endotherms. Here,
 we investigate whether post-hatching parental care provides a behavioral
 mechanism for buffering against the effects of ambient temperature on
 offspring in the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides. We used a 3×2
 factorial design where we manipulated ambient temperature (15, 20 or 25°C)
 and parental care (presence or absence of a female parent after hatching).
 We found that the effect of ambient temperature on offspring performance
 was conditional upon the presence or absence of a caring female. Fewer
 larvae survived in the absence than in the presence of a caring female at
 15°C whilst there was no difference in larval survival at 20 and 25°C. Our
 results show that parental care buffers against some of the detrimental
 effects of variation in ambient temperature on offspring. We suggest that
 post-hatching parental care may buffer against such effects by creating a
 more benign environment or by boosting offspring resilience towards
 stressors. Our results have important implications for our understanding
 of the evolution of parental care because they suggest that the evolution
 of parental care could allow species to expand their geographical range to
 colonize areas with harsher climatic conditions than they otherwise would
 tolerate.

title: Examining the Impact of Different Malted Rice Cultivars on the Flavor of Non- and Low-Alcoholic Beers

description: Traditionally, malted barley has served as the primary starch source for brewing, with other grains such as rice serving as adjuncts. However, barley’s susceptibility to climate trend-induced yield decrease raises concerns for the brewing industry’s future supply. In contrast, rice, known for its climate resilience and gluten-free characteristic, emerges as a promising alternative with good malting qualities. To further explore malted rice’s brewing potential, ten malted rice and one malted pale two-row barley were fermented with <i>Saccharomycodes ludwigii</i> to produce non-alcoholic beer (NAB) and low-alcoholic beers (LAB) (NABLAB, 0.26–0.84% alcohol by volume). The beers produced were measured for physicochemical parameters, volatiles, and sensorial attributes. Physicochemical parameters included alcohol content, density, and color. Volatiles were analyzed using headspace solid phase microextraction gas chromatography mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS). Sensorial attributes were quantified using descriptive analysis with a trained panel. Results showed that most malted rice self-saccharified and produced worts with higher fermentability using <i>S. ludwigii</i> than malted barley. Malted non-aromatic non-pigmented rice LAB were sensorially similar to malted barley NAB. Malted aromatic rice and malted pigmented rice led to unique flavor profiles, signaling the potential of rice as a novel valuable ingredient in brewing. This study sheds light on rice’s suitability for brewing and underscores the potential of malted rice to diversify beer offerings while addressing long-term sustainability concerns regarding crop yield in the brewing industry.

title: Data from: Behavioral, energetic, and color trait integration in guppies: testing the melanocortin hypothesis

description: Individuals of the same population differ consistently from each other in
 the average expression of behavioral and physiological traits. Often, such
 traits are integrated and thus correlated with each other. However, the
 underlying proximate mechanisms generating and maintaining this
 among-individual covariation are still poorly understood. The melanocortin
 hypothesis suggests that the melanocortin pathway can have pleiotropic
 effects linking the expression of melanin-based coloration with
 physiological and behavioral traits. In the present study, we test this
 hypothesis in adult male guppies (Poecilia reticulata), by estimating
 among individual correlations between behaviors (activity, feeding,
 boldness, display and chase during courtship), stress response (peak
 metabolic rate), and coloration (black spot, fuzzy black, orange). The
 lack of correlation of any behavior or metabolism with black coloration
 indicates that the melanocortin hypothesis is not supported in this
 species. However, we observed covariation among coloration traits, as well
 as among behavioral traits. Our findings suggest that, although there
 appear to be constraints within sets of related traits, coloration,
 physiology, and behaviors can potentially evolve as independent modules in
 response to selection in this species.

title: Data from: Constrained tree growth and gas-exchange of seawater exposed forests in the Pacific Northwest, USA

description: 1. Rising sea levels under climate change may have significant impacts on
 coastal vegetation dynamics, yet the response of coastal forest growth,
 gas-exchange, and survival to seawater intrusion remains poorly
 documented. 2. We conducted a dendroecology study across six sites in
 western Washington, USA, to examine how tree growth, gas exchange (indexed
 by basal area increment, BAI, and wood δ13C, respectively), and survival
 varies with seawater exposure through two approaches. First, tree core
 samples were collected at a site where seawater exposure started only four
 years prior to sampling, which allowed a cause-and-effect test of the
 impacts of seawater exposure on trees, and second, samples were collected
 at five additional sites where we compared downstream to upstream trees
 under current sea-level conditions. 3. At the seawater intrusion site, BAI
 and carbon isotope discrimination (Δ) decreased significantly (p &lt;
 0.01) in the year of intrusion (2014) and stayed unchanged thereafter.
 Four years later (2018), the percentage of recently standing dead trees in
 the forest was 73.0% basal area. Across the regional assessment,
 percentage of standing dead trees was significantly greater in downstream
 than upstream forests at five of the six sites (averaged 37.7±11.0% and
 4.3±2.1% basal area for downstream and upstream, respectively). Growth was
 significantly lower (p &lt; 0.01) at the downstream than upstream for
 five sites, and Δ was lower for all needle-leaf trees (three sites) on the
 downstream compared to the upstream, but no difference was observed
 between downstream and upstream for broad-leaf trees (three sites). 4.
 Synthesis Combined, both the cause-and-effect manipulative study and the
 regional assessment demonstrate that seawater exposure drives reductions
 in growth, decreased Δ of needle-leaf trees, increased mortality, and
 greater climate sensitivity, regardless of whether the seawater exposure
 is recent or long-term.

title: Data from: Risk assessment and the use of novel shortcuts in spatial detouring tasks in jumping spiders

description: Selection on individuals that incorporate risk to quickly and accurately
 make a priori navigational assessments may lead to increased spatial
 ability. Jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) are characterized by their
 highly acute vision, which mediates many behaviors, including prey capture
 and navigation. When moving to a specific goal (prey, nest, a potential
 mate, etc.), salticids rely on visual cues and spatial memory to orient in
 three-dimensional space. Salticid spatial ability has been studied in
 homing and detour tasks, with Portia being considered one of the most
 skillful genera in terms of spatial ability in the family. Commonly living
 in complex environments, salticids are likely to encounter a wide variety
 of routes that could lead to a goal, and, as selection favors individuals
 that can accurately make assessments, they may be able to assess
 alternative route distances to select the most efficient route. Here, we
 tested whether two salticid species (Portia fimbriata and Trite planiceps)
 can discriminate and assess between different available routes by their
 length, and riskiness to escape from a stressful scenario. Results suggest
 that while Portia is more likely to choose the easiest and shortest escape
 routes, Trite is faster in both decision-making about which route to take,
 and to escape. However, some individuals were able to use novel shortcuts
 instead of the routes expected, with Portia containing a higher proportion
 of shortcut-takers than Trite. These differences in spatial ability seem
 to correspond with the environmental complexity inhabited by each species.
