title: Data for: Non-invasive measurements of respiration and heart rate across wildlife species using Eulerian Video Magnification of infrared thermal imagery

description: Background: An animal’s metabolic rate, or energetic expenditure, both
 impacts and is impacted by interactions with its environment. However,
 techniques for obtaining measurements of metabolic rate are invasive,
 logistically difficult, and costly. Red-green-blue (RGB) imaging tools
 have been used in humans and select domestic mammals to accurately measure
 heart and respiration rate, as proxies of metabolic rate. The purpose of
 this study was to investigate if infrared thermography (IRT) coupled with
 Eulerian video magnification (EVM) would extend the applicability of
 imaging tools towards measuring vital rates in exotic wildlife species
 with different physical attributes. Results: We collected IRT and RGB
 video of 52 total species (39 mammalian, 7 avian, 6 reptilian) from 36
 taxonomic families at zoological institutions and used EVM to amplify
 subtle changes in temperature associated with blood flow for respiration
 and heart rate measurements. IRT-derived respiration and heart rates were
 compared to ‘true’ measurements determined simultaneously by expansion of
 the ribcage/nostrils and stethoscope readings, respectively. Sufficient
 temporal signals were extracted for measures of respiration rate in 36
 species (85% success in mammals; 50% success in birds; 100% success in
 reptiles) and heart rate in 24 species (67% success in mammals; 33%
 success in birds; 0% success in reptiles) using IRT-EVM. Infrared-derived
 measurements were obtained with high accuracy (respiration rate, mean
 absolute error: 1.9 breaths per minute, average percent error: 4.4%; heart
 rate, mean absolute error: 2.6 beats per minute, average percent error:
 1.3%). Thick integument and animal movement most significantly hindered
 successful validation. Conclusion: The combination of IRT with EVM
 analysis provides a non-invasive method to assess individual animal health
 in zoos, with great potential to monitor wildlife metabolic indices in
 situ.

title: Data for: Relatively large wings facilitate life at higher elevations in Nearctic dragonflies

description: Determining which traits allow species to live at higher elevations is
 essential to understanding the forces shaping montane biodiversity. For
 the many animals that rely on flight for locomotion, a long-standing
 hypothesis is that species with relatively large wings should better
 persist in high-elevation environments because wings that are large
 relative to the body generate more lift and decrease the aerobic costs of
 remaining aloft. Although these biomechanical and physiological
 predictions have received some support in birds, other flying taxa often
 possess smaller wings at high elevations or no wings at all. To test if
 predictions about the requirements for relative wing size at high
 elevations are generalizable beyond birds, we conducted macroecological
 analyses on the altitudinal characteristics of 302 Nearctic dragonfly
 species. Consistent with the biomechanical and aerobic hypotheses, species
 with relatively larger wings live at higher elevations and have wider
 elevation breadths—even after controlling for a species’ body size, mean
 thermal conditions, and range size. Moreover, a species’ relative wing
 size had nearly as large of an impact on its maximum elevation as being
 adapted to the cold.  Relatively large wings may be essential to
 high-elevation life in species that completely depend on flight for
 locomotion, like dragonflies or birds. With climate change forcing taxa to
 disperse upslope, our findings further suggest that relatively large wings
 may be a requirement for completely volant taxa to persist in montane
 habitats.

title: Data for: Valence opponency in peripheral olfactory processing

description: A hallmark of complex sensory systems is the organization of neurons into
 functionally meaningful maps, which allow for comparison and contrast of
 parallel inputs via lateral inhibition. However, it is unclear whether
 such a map exists in olfaction. Here, we address this question by
 determining the organizing principle underlying the stereotyped pairing of
 olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) in Drosophila sensory
 hairs, wherein compartmentalized neurons inhibit each other via ephaptic
 coupling. Systematic behavioral assays reveal that most paired ORNs
 antagonistically regulate the same type of behavior. Such valence
 opponency is relevant in critical behavioral contexts including place
 preference, egg laying, and courtship. Odor-mixture experiments show that
 ephaptic inhibition provides a peripheral means for evaluating and shaping
 countervailing cues relayed to higher brain centers. Furthermore,
 computational modeling suggests that this organization likely contributes
 to processing ratio information in odor mixtures. This olfactory valence
 map may have evolved to swiftly process ethologically meaningful odor
 blends without involving costly synaptic computation.

title: Long-term consistency of dispersal between two colonies of northern elephant seals

description: Dispersal drives extinction-recolonization dynamics of metapopulations and
 is necessary for endangered species to recolonize former ranges. Yet few
 studies quantify dispersal and even fewer examine consistency of dispersal
 over many years. The northern elephant seal (Mirounga angustirostris)
 provides an example of the importance of dispersal. It quickly recolonized
 its full range after near extirpation by 19th-century hunting, and though
 dispersal was observed it was not quantified. Here we enumerate lifetime
 dispersal events among female pups given permanent marks during 1994–2010
 at two colonies, then correct for detection biases in estimating
 bidirectional dispersal rates. An average of 16% of females born at the
 Piedras Blancas colony dispersed northward 200 km to breed at Año Nuevo,
 while 8.0% of those born at Año Nuevo dispersed southward to Piedras
 Blancas. The northward rate fluctuated considerably but was higher than
 southward in 15 of 17 cohorts. The population at Piedras Blancas expanded
 15-fold during the study, while Año Nuevo's changed only slightly,
 but the expectation that seals would emigrate away from high-density
 colonies was not supported. During the 1990s, dispersal was higher away
 from the small colony toward the large. Moreover, cohorts born later at
 Piedras Blancas, when the colony had grown, dispersed no more than early
 cohorts. Consistently high natal dispersal in northern elephant seals
 means the population must be considered a single large unit in terms of
 response to environmental change. High dispersal was fortuitous to the
 past recovery of the species, and continued dispersal means elephant seals
 will likely expand their range further. 
description: Female elephant seals were marked soon after weaning by inserting
 plastic cattle tags into their flipper webbing. Numbers on tags identified
 age and birth place of each individual when observed as a breeding adult.
 Observations at both colonies were done regularly throughout every
 breeding season to locate and identify tagged seals. Dispersal was
 estimated for each birth cohort as the proportion observed breeding at the
 foreign colony to the total observed breeding.

title: Climate change shrinks environmental suitability for a viviparous Neotropical skink

description: Anthropogenic global warming and deforestation are significant drivers of
 the global biodiversity crisis. Ectothermic and viviparous animals are
 especially vulnerable since high environmental temperatures can impair
 embryonic development, but we lack knowledge about these effects upon
 Neotropical organisms. Here, we estimate how much of the current area with
 suitable habitats overlaps with protected areas and model the combined
 effects of climate change and deforestation on the geographic distribution
 of the viviparous Neotropical lizard Notomabuya frenata (Scincidae). This
 species ranges in Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia. We use
 environmental and physiological variables (locomotor performance and hours
 of activity) to predict suitable present and future areas, considering
 different scenarios of greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation. The
 most critical predictors of habitat suitability were isothermality (i.e.,
 the ratio between mean diurnal temperature range and annual temperature
 range), precipitation during winter, and hours of activity under lower
 thermal extremes. Still, our models predict a contraction of suitable
 habitats in all future scenarios and the displacement of these areas
 towards eastern South America. In addition, protected areas are not enough
 to ensure suitable habitats for this species. Our findings highlight the
 vulnerability of tropical and viviparous ectotherms and suggest that even
 widely distributed species, such as N. frenata, may have their
 conservation compromised shortly due to the low representativeness of
 their suitable habitats in protected areas combined with the synergistic
 effects of climate change and deforestation. We stress the need for
 decision‐makers to consider the impact of range shifts in creating
 protected areas and managing endangered species.

title: Color as an interspecific badge of status: a comparative test

description: Animals as diverse as cephalopods, insects, fish, and mammals signal their
 social dominance to conspecifics to avoid costly fights. Even though
 between-species fights may be equally costly, the extent to which
 dominance signals are used between species is unknown. Here, we test the
 hypothesis that differences in color are associated with dominance between
 closely related species that aggressively interact over resources,
 examining between-species variation in colors that are used in
 within-species badges of status (black, white, and carotenoid coloration)
 in a comparative analysis of diverse species of birds. We found that
 dominant species have more black, on average, than subordinate species,
 particularly in regions important for aggressive signaling (face, throat,
 and bill). In addition, dominant species were more likely to have more
 black in comparisons in which the dominant species was not larger than the
 subordinate species, suggesting a greater importance of black as a signal
 when other signals of dominance (size) are missing. Carotenoid colors
 (i.e., red, pink, yellow, and orange) were not generally associated with
 dominance across all species but may signal dominance in some taxonomic
 groups. White appeared to have opposing functions in dominance signaling:
 white was associated with dominance in species in which black was also
 associated with dominance, but was associated with subordinance in species
 in which carotenoid-based dominance signals may be used. Overall, these
 results provide new evidence that colors may function broadly as signals
 of dominance among competing species. Such signals could help to mediate
 aggressive interactions among species, thereby reducing some costs of
 co-occurrence and facilitating coexistence in nature.

title: Point intercept and biomass data for vascular plants in a manipulative experiment of rear-round, winter-only, summer-only grazing, mowing and full exclosure at Molslab, Denmark

description: Data from two sets of sample quadrats included, both from nine
 experimental blocks, each replicating the treatments: rear-round grazing,
 winter-only grazing (summer exclosure), summer-only grazing (winter
 exclosure), mowing (one annual event in autumn) and full exclosure (no
 cattle or horse grazing, no mowing, but grazing by wild roe deer and
 hare). 1) Each of the 24 sample plots (six blocks times four treatments,
 mowing excluded) was first sampled non-destructively with the point
 intercept method, then above-ground biomass was cut at the soil surface,
 sorted into species fractions, dried and weighed. Data
 recording September 1–16, 2020. 2) Each of the 45 sample plots
 (nine blocks times five treatments) was sampled non-destructively with the
 point intercept method. Data recording August 2–20, 2021.
description: The point-intercept method was
 used to assess plant species’ abundance. A gridded quadratic aluminum
 frame was used to systematize the distribution of points within the 25 ×
 25 cm sampling area with 5 × 5 cm spacing. The frame had two parallel grid
 layers, made of nylon fishing cord, in order to provide a fixed trajectory
 for the vertical stick, which was a 0.8 cm thick wooden stick. The frame
 was placed on four aluminum legs, with a height of 50
 cm. Above-ground biomass was assessed by cutting
 plant biomass as close to the soil surface as possible, immediately
 sorting it into fractions by plant species (with standing litter as a
 separate fraction) and drying it at 55 ˚C until constant
 weight. The 2020 data were used to make calibration
 models for above-ground plant biomass estimated by point intercept
 methodology.

title: Heat stress reveals a fertility debt owing to postcopulatory sexual selection

description: Climates are changing rapidly, demanding equally rapid adaptation of
 natural populations. Whether sexual selection can aid such adaptation is
 under debate; while sexual selection should promote adaptation when
 individuals with high mating success are also best adapted to their local
 surroundings, the expression of sexually selected traits can incur costs.
 Here we asked what the demographic consequences of such costs may be once
 climates change to become harsher and the strength of natural selection
 increases. We investigated how an evolutionary history of strong
 postcopulatory sexual selection (sperm competition) affects male fertility
 under acute adult heat stress. Harnessing the empirical potential of
 long-term experimental evolution in the seed beetle Callosobruchus
 maculatus, we assessed the thermal sensitivity of fertility (TSF) in
 replicated lines maintained for 68 generations under three alternative
 mating regimes manipulating the opportunity for sexual and natural
 selection. We find that males evolving under strong sexual selection
 suffer from increased TSF, and that male success in sperm competition (P2:
 sperm offense) is genetically correlated to increased TSF. Interestingly,
 females from the regime under strong sexual selection, who experienced
 relaxed selection on their own reproductive effort, had high fertility in
 benign settings but suffered increased TSF, like their brothers. This
 implies that female fertility and TSF evolved through genetic correlation
 with reproductive traits sexually selected in males. Paternal but not
 maternal heat stress reduced offspring fertility with no evidence for
 adaptive transgenerational plasticity among heat-exposed offspring,
 indicating that the observed effects may compound over generations. Our
 results suggest that trade-offs between fertility and traits increasing
 success in postcopulatory sexual selection can be revealed in harsh
 environments. This can put polyandrous species under increased risk during
 extreme heat waves expected under future climate change.

title: Data from: Selection on an extreme-yet-conserved larval life-history strategy in a tapeworm

description: Evolutionary stasis characterizes many phenotypes, even ones that seem
 suboptimal. Among tapeworms, Schistocephalus solidus and its relatives
 have some of the shortest developmental times in their first intermediate
 hosts, yet their development still seems excessively long considering they
 can grow faster, larger, and safer in the next hosts in their complex life
 cycles. I conducted four generations of selection on the developmental
 rate of S. solidus in its copepod first host, pushing a
 conserved-but-counterintuitive phenotype towards the limit of known
 tapeworm life-history strategies. Faster parasite development evolved and
 enabled earlier infectivity to the stickleback next host, but low
 heritability for infectivity moderated fitness gains. Fitness losses were
 more pronounced for slow-developing parasite families, irrespective of
 selection line, because directional selection released linked genetic
 variation for reduced infectivity to copepods, developmental stability,
 and fecundity. This deleterious variation is normally suppressed, implying
 development is canalized and thus under stabilizing selection.
 Nevertheless, faster development was not costly; fast-developing genotypes
 did not decrease copepod survival, even under host starvation, nor did
 they underperform in the next hosts, suggesting parasite stages in
 successive hosts are genetically decoupled. I speculate that, on longer
 time scales, the ultimate cost of abbreviated development is reduced
 size-dependent infectivity.
description: Four generations of artificial
 selection were conducted on the developmental rate of a tapeworm
 (<em>Schistocephalus solidus</em>) in its copepod first host.
 The goal was to test whether faster development can evolve and to assess
 why it has not. Besides larval development, several other parasite traits
 were recorded each generation, as were important covariates, such as host
 size. An additional experiment in the final generation of the experiment
 measured the survival of copepods infected with tapeworms from the three
 selection lines: fast-developing, slow-developing, and controls. Copepod
 survival was recorded, every second day, for 30 days
 post-infection.

title: Incidence and influencing factors of occupational pneumoconiosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis

description: Objectives: To determine the incidence of pneumoconiosis worldwide and its
 influencing factors. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Setting:
 Cohort studies on occupational pneumoconiosis. Participants: PubMed,
 Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched until
 November 2021. Studies were selected for meta-analysis if they involved at
 least one variable investigated as an influencing factor for the incidence
 of pneumoconiosis and reported either the parameters and 95% confidence
 intervals (CIs) of the risk fit to the data, or sufficient information to
 allow for the calculation of those values. Primary outcome measures: The
 pooled incidence of pneumoconiosis and risk ratio (RR) and 95% CIs of
 influencing factors. Results: Our meta-analysis included 19 studies with a
 total of 335,424 participants, of whom 29,972 developed pneumoconiosis.
 The pooled incidence of pneumoconiosis was 0.093 (95% CI: 0.085~0.135). We
 identified the following influencing factors: (1) male (RR=3.74; 95%CI
 1.31–10.64; P=0.01), (2) smoking (RR=1.80; 95%CI 1.34–2.43; P=0.0001), (3)
 tunneling category (RR=4.75; 95%CI 1.96–11.53; P&lt;0.0001), (4)
 helping category (RR=0.07; 95%CI 0.13–0.16; P&lt;0.0001), (5) age (the
 highest incidence occurs between the ages of 50 and 60), (6) duration of
 dust exposure ((RR=4.59, 95% CI 2.41–8.74, P&lt;0.01), (7) cumulative
 total dust exposure (CTD) (RR=34.14, 95% CI 17.50–66.63, P&lt;0.01). A
 dose-response analysis revealed a significant positive linear
 dose-response association between the risk of pneumoconiosis and duration
 of exposure and CTD (P-nonlinearity=0.10, P-nonlinearity=0.16;
 respectively). The Pearson correlation analysis revealed that silicosis
 incidence was highly correlated with CSE (r=0.794, P&lt;0.001).
 Conclusion: The incidence of pneumoconiosis in occupational workers was
 0.093 and seven factors were found to be associated with the incidence,
 providing some insight into the prevention of pneumoconiosis. PROSPERO
