title: Data from: Cultivation shapes genetic novelty in a globally important invader

description: Acacia saligna is a species complex that has become invasive in a number
 of countries worldwide where it has caused substantial environmental and
 economic impacts. Understanding genetic and other factors contributing to
 its success may allow managers to limit future invasions of closely
 related species. We used three molecular markers to compare the introduced
 range (South Africa) to the native range (Western Australia). Nuclear
 markers showed that invasive populations are divergent from native
 populations and most closely related to a cultivated population in Western
 Australia. We also found incongruence between nuclear and chloroplast data
 that, together with the long history of cultivation of the species,
 suggest that introgressive hybridization (coupled with chloroplast
 capture) may have occurred within A. saligna. While we could not
 definitively prove introgression, the genetic distance between cultivated
 and native A. saligna populations was comparable to known interspecific
 divergences among other Acacia species. Therefore, cultivation, multiple
 large-scale introductions and possibly introgressive hybridization have
 rapidly given rise to the divergent genetic entity present in South
 Africa. This may explain the known global variation in invasiveness and
 inaccuracy of native bioclimatic models in predicting potential
 distributions.

title: Data from: When feeling younger depends on others: the effects of social cues on older consumers

description: How do social cues in the immediate environment affect older consumers’
 tendency to feel younger? And what is the impact of this tendency on
 consumption? This research investigates the malleability of older
 consumers’ feel-age and the underlying mechanisms by focusing on the
 influence of contextual social cues and the downstream effects on
 consumption behavior. Five experiments provide evidence that the mere
 presence of young social cues triggers an identity threat for older
 consumers; and feeling younger is a way to protect the self from negative
 stereotypes associated with aging. By contrast, young consumers are
 relatively immune to age-related social cues. Whereas the presence of
 young social cues magnifies older consumers’ tendency to feel younger,
 this effect is attenuated when the young social cues are less desirable or
 when the older consumers possess higher self-esteem. The greater tendency
 to feel younger in the presence of young social cues increases older
 consumers’ choice of contemporary over traditional products, especially
 among those with lower self-esteem. Theoretical insights and practical
 implications are discussed.

title: Data from: Modelling the probability of microhabitat formation on trees using cross-sectional data

description: 1. Context: Tree-related microhabitats (TreMs), such as trunk cavities,
 peeled bark, cracks or sporophores of lignicolous fungi, are essential to
 support forest biodiversity because they are used as substrate, foraging,
 roosting or breeding places by bryophytes, fungi, invertebrates and
 vertebrates. Biodiversity conservation requires the continuous presence of
 TreMs in a forest. However, little is known about their dynamics.
 Moreover, we usually have only cross-sectional TreM data (observations of
 many trees at a single time), making it difficult to estimate TreM
 formation rates. 2. Method: This study adapted the methods of survival and
 reliability analysis to model the rate of TreM formation per unit of
 diameter increment as a function of tree diameter at breast height (DBH).
 We tested three variants of this model: the TreM formation rate
 independent of, proportional to or increasing non-linearly with DBH. We
 calculated the likelihood of the models, considering cross-sectional
 observations either of TreM presence/absence or TreM number on trees of
 different sizes. We calibrated the models in six sub-natural montane
 forests dominated by European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and silver fir
 (Abies alba) – in the French Pyrenees. Assuming an annual DBH increment
 value, the annual formation rate of TreMs was predicted both at the level
 of the tree and at the level of the forest stand. 3. Results: This method
 provided a coherent framework to model the probability that a TreM forms
 on a tree during a unit growth step and produces realistic predictions of
 TreM accumulation on trees. TreM formation accelerated as trees grew for
 A. alba but not for F. sylvatica. The TreM formation rate was twice as
 fast on F. sylvatica as on A. alba. We estimated a formation of 0.82–1.28
 TreMs/ha per year and 0.5–0.9 TreM bearing trees/ha per year in the
 sub-natural forests studied. 4. Synthesis and applications: This method
 makes rigorous modelling of the formation of TreMs possible during the
 growth of trees and forest stands. The quantitative evaluation of TreM
 fluxes will help to design forest biodiversity conservation strategies
 favouring the development and temporal continuity of TreMs.

title: Data from: Ontogenetic and interspecific scaling of consumption in insects

description: The uptake of resources from the environment is a basic feature of all
 life. Consumption rate has been found to scale with body size with an
 exponent close to unity across diverse organisms. However, past analyses
 have ignored the important distinction between ontogenetic and
 interspecific size comparisons. Using principles of dynamic energy budget
 theory, we present a mechanistic model for the body mass scaling of
 consumption, which separates interspecific size effects from ontogenetic
 size effects. Our model predicts uptake to scale with surface-area
 (mass2/3) during ontogenetic growth but more quickly (between mass3/4 and
 mass1) for interspecific comparisons. Available data for 41 insect species
 on consumption and assimilation during ontogeny provides strong empirical
 support for our theoretical predictions. Specifically, consumption rate
 scaled interspecifically with an exponent close to unity (0.89) but during
 ontogenetic growth scaled more slowly with an exponent of 0.70.
 Assimilation rate (consumption minus defecation) through ontogeny scaled
 more slowly than consumption due to a decrease in assimilation efficiency
 as insects grow. Our results highlight how body size imposes different
 constraints on metabolism depending on whether the size comparison is
 ontogenetic or inter-specific.
description: Insect food uptake
 ratesWe compiled a data set
 of consumption and assimilation rates through ontogeny for different
 insects. Data was retrieved from a comprehensive literature search of
 insect consumption and assimilation through ontogeny, which resulted in
 data for 41 insects from 6 orders being included in the present analysis
 (Coleoptera (n = 14), Lepidoptera (n =14), Hemiptera (n = 6), Orthoptera
 (n =5), Diptera (n =1), and Neuroptera (n = 1)). Where possible, data was

title: Data from: Selection outweighs drift at a fine scale: lack of MHC differentiation within a family living lizard across geographically close but disconnected rocky outcrops

description: The highly polymorphic genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)
 are involved in disease resistance, mate choice, and kin recognition.
 Therefore, they are widely used markers for investigating adaptive
 variation. Although selection is the key driver, gene flow and genetic
 drift also influence adaptive genetic variation, sometimes in opposing
 ways and with consequences for adaptive potential. To further understand
 the processes that generate MHC variation, it is helpful to compare
 variation at the MHC with that at neutral genetic loci. Differences in MHC
 and neutral genetic variation are useful for inferring the relative
 influence of selection, gene flow and drift on MHC variation. To date,
 such investigations have usually been undertaken at a broad spatial scale.
 Yet, evolutionary and ecological processes can occur at a fine spatial
 scale, particularly in small or fragmented populations. We investigated
 spatial patterns of MHC variation among three geographically close,
 naturally discrete, sampling sites of Egernia stokesii, an Australian
 lizard. The MHC of E. stokesii has recently been characterised and there
 is evidence for historical selection on the MHC. We found E. stokesii MHC
 weakly differentiated among sites compared to microsatellites, suggesting
 selection, acting similarly at each site, has outweighed any effects of
 low gene flow or of genetic drift on E. stokesii MHC variation. Our
 findings demonstrate the strength of selection in shaping patterns of MHC
 variation or consistency at a fine spatial scale.

title: Data from: Male but not female zebra finches with high plasma corticosterone have lower survival

description: (1) The glucocorticoid axis is essential for coping with predictable and
 unpredictable environmental variation. Despite this vital function,
 attempts to link individual variation in the glucocorticoid axis to
 survival have yielded mixed results, which may be due to endocrine
 variation caused by uncontrolled variation in environment and life history
 traits such as reproductive effort. We therefore studied the link between
 the glucocorticoid axis and long-term survival using captive non-breeding
 zebra finches. (2) We quantified the relationship between survival over a
 three-year period and plasma corticosterone concentrations: (1) baseline,
 (2) stress-induced, (3) after induction of negative feedback via
 dexamethasone injection and (4) after maximal adrenal stimulation via
 adrenocorticotropin hormone injection. (3) Only stress-induced
 corticosterone predicted survival, with higher concentrations being
 associated with lower survival. However, this effect differed
 significantly between the sexes, being present only in males. (4)
 Stress-induced corticosterone concentration is the sum of baseline
 corticosterone and the corticosterone increase in response to the
 standardised stressor, and both components were similarly associated with
 male survival in a model that included both variables. This implies that
 baseline corticosterone itself also exerts an effect on male survival, but
 this was only revealed when the stress induced corticosterone increase was
 included in the model, presumably because this increased statistical
 power. (5) Given that corticosterone concentrations are highly repeatable
 in our study population and independent of manipulated foraging
 conditions, these data suggest that endocrine stress reactivity may be a
 major component determining male lifespan, presumably also in wild
 populations.

title: Data from: Morphology, fossils, divergence timing, and the phylogenetic relationships of Gavialis

description: Although morphological data have historically favored a basal position for
 the Indian gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) within Crocodylia and a Mesozoic
 divergence between Gavialis and all other crocodylians, several recent
 molecular data sets have argued for a sister-group relationship between
 Gavialis and the Indonesian false gharial (Tomistoma schlegelii) and a
 divergence between them no earlier than the Late Tertiary. Fossils were
 added to a matrix of 164 discrete morphological characters and subjected
 to parsimony analysis. When morphology was analyzed alone, Gavialis was
 the sister taxon of all other extant crocodylians whether or not fossil
 ingroup taxa were included, and a sister-group relationship between
 Gavialis and Tomistoma was significantly less parsimonious. In combination
 with published sequence and restriction site fragment data, Gavialis was
 the sister taxon of all other living crocodylians, but the position of
 Tomistoma depended on the inclusion of fossil ingroup taxa; with or
 without fossils, preferred morphological and molecular topologies were not
 significantly different. Fossils closer to Gavialis than to Tomistoma can
 be recognized in the Late Cretaceous, and fossil relatives of Tomistoma
 are known from the basal Eocene, strongly indicating a divergence long
 before the Late Tertiary. Comparison of minimum divergence time from the
 fossil record with different measures of molecular distance indicates
 evolutionary rate heterogeneity within Crocodylia. Fossils strongly
 contradict a post-Oligocene divergence between Gavialis and any other
 living crocodylian, but the phylogenetic placement of Gavialis is best
 viewed as unresolved.

title: Data from: Ecological continuity and transformation after the Permo-Triassic mass extinction in northeastern Panthalassa

description: The Permo-Triassic mass extinction (PTME) is often implicated in the
 transition from the Paleozoic Evolutionary Fauna (PEF) to the Modern
 Evolutionary Fauna (MEF). However the exact timing and details of this
 progression are unknown, especially regarding the vacating and filling of
 functional ecological space after the PTME. Here we quantify the
 functional diversity of middle Permian and Early Triassic marine
 paleocommunities in the western US to determine functional re-organization
 in the aftermath of the PTME. Results indicate that while the PTME was
 selective in nature, many new Triassic taxa either re-filled functional
 roles of extinct Permian taxa or performed the same functional roles as
 Permian survivors. Despite this functional overlap, Permian survivors and
 new Triassic taxa differed significantly in their relative abundances
 within those overlapping functions. This shift in numerical emphasis,
 driven by an increase in abundance towards more MEF-style traits, may
 represent a first step in the transition between the PEF and MEF. We
 therefore suggest that the extreme impact of the PTME had significant and
 permanent re-organizational effects on the intrinsic structure of marine
 ecosystems. Early Triassic ecosystems likely bridged the gap between the
 Paleozoic and Modern Evolutionary Faunas, as newly originated Triassic
 taxa shared ecospace with Permian survivors, but shifted functional
 emphasis.

title: Data from: Sneaker males affect fighter male body size and sexual size dimorphism in salmon

description: Large male body size is typically favored by directional sexual selection
 through competition for mates. However, alternative male life-history
 phenotypes, such as "sneakers," should decrease the strength of
 sexual selection acting on body size of large "fighter" males.
 We tested this prediction with salmon species; in southern populations,
 where sneakers are common, fighter males should be smaller than in
 northern populations, where sneakers are rare, leading to geographical
 clines in sexual size dimorphism (SSD). Consistent with our prediction,
 fighter male body size and SSD (fighter male∶female size) increase with
 latitude in species with sneaker males (Atlantic salmon Salmo salar and
 masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou) but not in species without sneakers (chum
 salmon Oncorhynchus keta and pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha). This is
 the first evidence that sneaker males affect SSD across populations and
 species, and it suggests that alternative male mating strategies may shape
 the evolution of body size.

title: Data from: Visual and non-visual navigation in blind patients with a retinal prosthesis

description: Human adults with normal vision can combine visual landmark and non-visual
 self-motion cues to improve their navigational precision. Here we asked
 whether blind individuals treated with a retinal prosthesis could also
 benefit from using the resultant new visual signal together with
 non-visual information when navigating. Four patients (blind for 15-52
 years) implanted with the Argus II retinal prosthesis (Second Sight
 Medical Products Inc. Sylmar, CA), and five age-matched and six younger
 controls, participated. Participants completed a path reproduction and a
 triangle completion navigation task, using either an indirect visual
 landmark and non-visual self-motion cues or non-visual self-motion cues
 only. Control participants wore goggles that approximated the field of
 view and the resolution of the Argus II prosthesis. In both tasks, control
 participants showed better precision when navigating with reduced vision,
 compared to without vision. Patients, however, did not show similar
 improvements when navigating with the prosthesis in the path reproduction
 task, but two patients did show improvements in the triangle completion
 task. Additionally, all patients showed greater precision than controls in
 both tasks when navigating without vision. These results indicate that the
 Argus II retinal prosthesis may not provide sufficiently reliable visual
 information to improve the precision of patients on tasks, for which they
 have learnt to rely on non-visual senses.

title: Data from: Idiosyncratic species effects confound size-based predictions of responses to climate change

description: Understanding and predicting the consequences of warming for complex
 ecosystems and indeed individual species remains a major ecological
 challenge. Here, we investigated the effect of increased seawater
 temperatures on the metabolic and consumption rates of five distinct
 marine species. The experimental species reflected different trophic
 positions within a typical benthic East Atlantic food web, and included a
 herbivorous gastropod, a scavenging decapod, a predatory echinoderm, a
 decapod and a benthic-feeding fish. We examined the metabolism–body mass
 and consumption–body mass scaling for each species, and assessed changes
 in their consumption efficiencies. Our results indicate that body mass and
 temperature effects on metabolism were inconsistent across species and
 that some species were unable to meet metabolic demand at higher
 temperatures, thus highlighting the vulnerability of individual species to
 warming. While body size explains a large proportion of the variation in
 species' physiological responses to warming, it is clear that
 idiosyncratic species responses, irrespective of body size, complicate
 predictions of population and ecosystem level response to future scenarios
 of climate change.

title: Data from: Landmark based thin plate spline relative warp analysis of gastropod shells

description: In the analysis of organismal form, landmark-based geometrical
 morphometrics now are preferred to traditional morphometrics by many
 systematists. However, certain forms have eluded geometrical morphometric
 analysis because landmarks on them are difficult to define; this situation
 is a problem of logistics rather than an inadequacy of the landmark-based
 approach. In this article, a landmark-based geometrical morphometric
 analysis is performed on one such form (the gastropod shell), and the
 results obtained are compared to those obtained using more traditional
 methods of morphometric analysis.
