title: Data from: Evolution of parental activity at the nest is shaped by the risk of nest predation and ambient temperature across bird species

description: Incubation is an important component of parental care in birds and species
 differ widely in their incubation rhythm. In this comparative study we
 focused on factors responsible for those differences. As hypothesized by
 A. Skutch, increased parental activity at the nest increases the
 probability of nest depredation. High risk of nest predation should
 therefore lead to the evolution of lower frequency of parental activity at
 the nest. We thus expected to find a negative relationship between
 frequency of nest visits and the risk of nest depredation. Using a large
 dataset of 256 species of passerines breeding worldwide we found that the
 frequency of nest visits decreased as the risk of nest depredation
 increased and that this effect was strongest in tropical species. Further,
 foraging bouts were longer in species experiencing warmer ambient
 temperatures during incubation and those with domed nests. Incubation
 bouts were longer and frequency of nest visits lower in species with
 higher body mass. Our results support the view that natural selection
 favors lower frequency of nests visits in species under higher risk of
 nest predation and demonstrate the importance of other factors
 (temperature, geographic space, nest type, and body mass) in shaping the
 evolution of incubation rhythm.

title: Data from: Movements of genes between populations: are pollinators more effective at transferring their own or plant genetic markers?

description: The transfer of genes between populations is increasingly important in a
 world where pollinators are declining, plant and animal populations are
 increasingly fragmented and climate change is forcing shifts in
 distribution. The distances that pollen can be transported by small
 insects are impressive, as is the extensive gene flow between their own
 populations. We compared the relative ease by which small insects
 introduce genetic markers into their own and host-plant populations. Gene
 flow via seeds and pollen between populations of an Asian fig species were
 evaluated using cpDNA and nuclear DNA markers, and between-population gene
 flow of its pollinator fig wasp was determined using microsatellites. This
 insect is the tree's only pollinator locally, and only reproduces in
 its figs. The plant's pollen-to-seed dispersal ratio was 9.183–9.437,
 smaller than that recorded for other Ficus. The relative effectiveness of
 the pollinator at introducing markers into its own populations was higher
 than the rate it introduced markers into the plant's populations
 (ratio = 14 : 1), but given the demographic differences between plant and
 pollinator, pollen transfer effectiveness is remarkably high. Resource
 availability affects the dispersal of fig wasps, and host-plant flowering
 phenology here and in other plant–pollinator systems may strongly
 influence relative gene flow rates.

title: Data from: Morphological and molecular evolution and their consequences for conservation and taxonomy in the Le Conte's Thrasher (Toxostoma lecontei)

description: We evaluated geographic variation and subspecific taxonomy in the Le
 Conte's Thrasher (Toxostoma lecontei) by analyzing DNA sequences from
 16 nuclear loci, one mitochondrial DNA locus, and four study skin
 characters, and compared these data sets with previously published data on
 plumage coloration and different mtDNA genes. Morphological support for
 the southernmost taxon, T. l. arenicola, is relatively weak: multivariate
 analyses of morphometrics or back coloration do not provide diagnostic
 support, although one color character differs statistically. However,
 combined DNA analyses indicate that T. l. arenicola is diagnosable and
 reciprocally monophyletic, diverging from T. l. lecontei at least 140,000
 years ago. Little to no past introgression across a very short geographic
 distance despite the long period of isolation is strong evidence of
 independently evolving taxa. We suggest that the lack of morphological
 divergence in traits related to niche use has prevented the two taxa from
 invading each other's range. Despite relatively weak morphological
 differences we suggest that these two deeply divergent lineages merit
 species status, and we suggest Vizcaino Thrasher for the common name
 corresponding to T. l. arenicola. The population size of T. l. arenicola
 is small and the taxon is in need of preservation attention.

title: Data from: Herbicide resistance-endowing ACCase gene mutations in hexaploid wild oat (Avena fatua): Insights into resistance evolution in a hexaploid species

description: Many herbicide-resistant weed species are polyploids, but far too little
 about the evolution of resistance mutations in polyploids is understood.
 Hexaploid wild oat (Avena fatua) is a global crop weed and many
 populations have evolved herbicide resistance. We studied plastidic
 acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicide resistance in
 hexaploid wild oat and revealed that resistant individuals can express
 one, two or three different plastidic ACCase gene resistance mutations
 (Ile-1781-Leu, Asp-2078-Gly and Cys-2088-Arg). Using ACCase resistance
 mutations as molecular markers, combined with genetic, molecular and
 biochemical approaches, we found in individual resistant wild-oat plants
 that (1) up to three unlinked ACCase gene loci assort independently
 following Mendelian laws for disomic inheritance, (2) all three of these
 homoeologous ACCase genes were transcribed, with each able to carry its
 own mutation and (3) in a hexaploid background, each individual ACCase
 resistance mutation confers relatively low-level herbicide resistance, in
 contrast to high-level resistance conferred by the same mutations in
 unrelated diploid weed species of the Poaceae (grass) family. Low
 resistance conferred by individual ACCase resistance mutations is likely
 due to a dilution effect by susceptible ACCase expressed by homoeologs in
 hexaploid wild oat and/or differential expression of homoeologous ACCase
 gene copies. Thus, polyploidy in hexaploid wild oat may slow resistance
 evolution. Evidence of coexisting non-target-site resistance mechanisms
 among wild-oat populations was also revealed. In all, these results
 demonstrate that herbicide resistance and its evolution can be more
 complex in hexaploid wild oat than in unrelated diploid grass weeds. Our
 data provide a starting point for the daunting task of understanding
 resistance evolution in polyploids.

title: Data from: Mate quality and the temporal dynamics of breeding in a sex-role-reversed pipefish, S. typhle

description: The spatiotemporal dynamics of receptivity and breeding date, coupled with
 individual-level quality and attractiveness, are centrally important to
 mating system dynamics. These topics have been investigated in some detail
 in birds, but much less work has been devoted to other taxonomic groups,
 and almost no work has addressed spatiotemporal factors and individual
 quality in sex-role-reversed taxa. The broad-nosed pipefish, Syngnathus
 typhle, provides an excellent opportunity to investigate these ideas in a
 sex-role-reversed fish. Here, we addressed three questions related to
 mating dynamics in S. typhle: (1) Do higher-quality males arrive earlier
 on the breeding grounds and mate first? (2) Are early-breeding males in
 better condition than later-breeding males? And (3) do mating events
 involving higher-quality males produce better clutches than mating events
 involving lower-quality males? We collected data from a field study and a
 laboratory breeding experiment to address our hypotheses. Our results show
 that larger males mate earlier than smaller males and that pregnant males
 have higher measures of condition compared to non-pregnant males.
 Moreover, our laboratory results demonstrate that pairings between larger
 males and preferred females yielded more offspring than pairings involving
 smaller males. In summary, the spatiotemporal dynamics of S. typhle
 breeding patterns, combined with variation in individual quality, play an
 important role in shaping mating systems and should be incorporated in
 future analyses of mating behavior and sexual selection in this
 interesting sex-role-reversed pipefish.

title: Data from: Seasonal effects and fine-scale population dynamics of Aedes taeniorhynchus, a major disease vector in the Galapagos Islands

description: Characterization of the fine-scale population dynamics of the mosquito
 Aedes taeniorhynchus is needed in order to improve our understanding of
 its role as a disease vector in the Galapagos Islands. We used
 microsatellite data to assess the genetic structure of coastal and
 highland mosquito populations and patterns of gene flow between the two
 habitats through time on Santa Cruz Island. In addition, we assessed
 possible associations of mosquito abundance and genetic diversity with
 environmental variables. The coastal and highland mosquito populations
 were highly differentiated from each other all year round, with some gene
 flow detected only during periods of increased precipitation. The results
 support the hypothesis that selection arising from ecological differences
 between habitats is driving adaptation and divergence in A.
 taeniorhynchus, and maintaining long term genetic differentiation of the
 populations against gene flow. The highland and lowland populations may
 constitute an example of incipient speciation in progress. Highland
 populations were characterized by lower observed heterozygosity and
 allelic richness, suggesting a founder effect and/or lower breeding site
 availability in the highlands. A lack of reduction in genetic diversity
 over time in highland populations suggests that they survive dry periods
 as dormant eggs. Association between mosquito abundance and precipitation
 was strong in the highlands whereas tide height was the main factor
 affecting mosquito abundance on the coast. Our findings suggests
 differences in the infection dynamics of mosquito-borne parasites in the
 highlands compared to the coast, and a higher risk of mosquito-driven
 disease spread across these habitats during periods of increased
 precipitation.

title: Data from: Synthesis and investigation of physicochemical properties of dicationic ionic liquids

description: A series of dicationic ionic liquids (ILs) including [C4(MIM)2] [PF6] 2,
 [C5(MIM)2] [PF6] 2, [C6(MIM)2] [PF6] 2and [C4(PYR)][PF6]2 were
 synthesized. Their thermal stability and melting points were analyzed. It
 was found that dicationic ILs presented important implications in the
 design of homogeneous and heterogeneous system with water. A homogeneous
 system of dicationic ILs with water could be formed at a relatively high
 temperature and then a heterogeneous system was formed when the solution
 was cooled to a low temperature. The recovered ILs by altering the
 temperature were obtained in high yields of [C46]2(0.98 g),
 [C5(MIM)2][PF6]2 (0.97 g), [C6(MIM)2][PF6]2 (0.98 g) and [C4(PYR)2][PF6]2
 (0.94 g). In the other hand, [C4(MIM)2][PF6]2 and [C5(MIM)2][PF6]2
 exhibited good solubility in acetonitrile and acetone. A homogeneous
 system could be achieved with imidazolium-based ILs with a relatively low
 amount of water and acetonitrile at room temperature. All of the
 properties of dicationic ILs have a strong correlation with the nature of
 dications, the linkage chain and the symmetry of dications. Dicationic ILs
 may provide new opportunity for some specific applications in order to
 enable the effective separation and isolation of products.

title: Data from: Chryselium, a new South American genus segregated from Helichrysum (Asteraceae, Gnaphalieae)

description: Chryselium Urtubey & S. E. Freire, a new monotypic genus, is here
 described and illustrated to accomodate one species that was initially
 placed in Helichrysum, H. gnaphalioides, as Chryselium gnaphalioides . The
 new genus, Chryselium , is a monoecious herb with single stems and
 terminal capitulescences that are densely glomerulate from the Tropical
 Andes of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Peru. This genus
 differs fundamentally from Helichrysum by having a stoloniferous habit and
 corollas with purple apices. A molecular analysis using DNA sequences from
 nuclear (ITS and ETS) markers placed this genus in a clade with
 Chevreulia, Cuatrecasasiella, Antennaria, and Diaperia in the FLAG group.
 Affinities of the new genus with genera previously assigned to Chryselium
 are also discussed.

title: Data from: Development of a protocol for environmental impact studies using causal modelling

description: 1- The global issue of water scarcity caused by climate change and human
 utilisation highlights the importance of an efficient assessment of water
 quality in freshwater systems. One of the challenges facing water
 management in environmental impact studies is the difficulty of inferring
 causality in complex systems. Traditional water assessment methods are
 inadequate because they are challenged to separate natural variation from
 the effect of human activities. 2- Knowing the causal structure of a
 complex ecosystem will enable managers to identify key anthropogenic,
 climate and flow drivers of water quality, and make informed decisions
 about interventions that improve water and environmental quality. In this
 study, I show how causal modelling can facilitate decision making for
 water treatment plant managers to improve their environmental management
 of this valuable resource. 3- Models built using causal modelling
 techniques, including structural equation modelling and the principles of
 Bayesian Networks, were utilised for management decision making purposes.
 The discharge load values were manipulated in the models to predict the
 effect of a potential intervention, e.g. treatment plant upgrade, on the
 values of the water quality variables in the creek. That is, water quality
 variables were predicted when an imaginary or counterfactual situation was
 imposed on the models. 4- This study showed that there would not be any
 observable effect of effluent on macroinvertebrate communities if the
 discharge loads of chlorophyll a, total organic carbon, total phosphorus,
 nitrate, and conductivity were reduced to 0.1 of observed values. The
 concentrations of environmental variables in the creek would return to
 their baseline levels when their corresponding discharge loads in the
 effluent were halved or divided by 10. 5- Based on the findings of this
 study, managers in the field of environmental impact studies can predict
 the response of a system in the presence of potential interventions under
 complex and uncertain conditions. The implementation of such techniques
 offers great promise in the wider field of environmental management where
 accounting for multiple factors structuring ecosystems in necessary to
 adequately represent causality.

title: Data from: Dung beetle species interactions and multifunctionality are affected by an experimentally warmed climate

description: While substantial effort has been invested in modelling changes in species
 distribution with climate change, less attention has been given to how
 climate warming will affect interactions among co-occurring species, and
 the cascading functional consequences. In this study, realistic dung
 beetle communities were subjected to an experimental warming treatment and
 the net effect on the functions of dung decomposition (in terms of dung
 mass) and plant productivity (in terms of biomass production of ryegrass
 grown on soil from underneath the dung pats) were examined. A priori, we
 hypothesized that the largest tunneling species would be functionally
 dominant, and be differently affected by experimental warming compared to
 pat-dwelling, smaller species. In terms of dung decomposition, the largest
 beetles did prove to be the functionally most important, with the
 qualitative pattern unaffected by experimental warming. In contrast, for
 plant productivity all species appeared equally important under ambient
 conditions. However, the effects of single species on plant productivity
 were reduced as temperature increased: In a warmed climate, a combination
 of both tunneling and pat-dwelling species came the closest to returning
 ecosystem functioning to levels found in the ambient treatment. These
 results suggest different roles for different species, and highlight the
 importance of maintaining multiple species within an ecosystem –
 particularly when systems are perturbed.
