title: Data from: Female mate fidelity in a lek mating system and its implications for the evolution of cooperative lekking behavior

description: The extent and importance of female mate fidelity in polygynous mating
 systems are poorly known. Fidelity may contribute to high variance in male
 reproductive success when it favors attractive mates or may stabilize
 social interactions if females are faithful to mating sites rather than
 males. Using 12 years of data on genetic mate choice in the cooperatively
 lekking lance-tailed manakin (Chiroxiphia lanceolata), I investigated the
 frequency of fidelity within and between years, whether females were
 faithful to individual males or to mating sites across years, and whether
 fidelity favored attractive males. Mate fidelity occurred in 41.7% of 120
 between-year comparisons and was observed for 41.1% of 73 individual
 females that had the opportunity to mate faithfully. Females were not more
 likely to mate at prior mating sites when previous mates were replaced.
 Faithful females mated with the same male in up to four consecutive years
 but were not disproportionately faithful to attractive partners. Mating
 history influences current mate choice, and fidelity in this lekking
 system apparently represents active mate choice by females but little
 consensus in mate choices among faithful females. This study underscores
 the prevalence of mate fidelity in polygynous mating systems and
 emphasizes the need to consider the larger context of lifetime
 reproductive behavior when interpreting patterns of female choice.

title: Data from: Landscape resistance and habitat combine to provide an optimal model of genetic structure and connectivity at the range margin of a small mammal

description: We evaluated the effect of habitat and landscape characteristics on the
 population genetic structure of the white-footed mouse. We develop a new
 approach that uses numerical optimization to define a model that combines
 site differences and landscape resistance to explain the genetic
 differentiation between mouse populations inhabiting forest patches in
 southern Québec. We used ecological distance computed from resistance
 surfaces with Circuitscape to infer the effect of the landscape matrix on
 gene flow. We calculated site differences using a site index of habitat
 characteristics. A model that combined site differences and resistance
 distances explained a high proportion of the variance in genetic
 differentiation and outperformed models that used geographical distance
 alone. Urban and agriculture related land uses were, respectively, the
 most and the least resistant landscape features influencing gene flow. Our
 method detected the effect of rivers and highways as highly resistant
 linear barriers. The density of grass and shrubs on the ground best
 explained the variation in the site index of habitat characteristics. Our
 model indicates that movement of white-footed mouse in this region is
 constrained along routes of low resistance. Our approach can generate
 models that may improve predictions of future northward range expansion of
 this small mammal.

title: Data from: Kinship influences sperm whale social organization within, but generally not among, social units

description: Sperm whales have a multi-level social structure based upon long-term,
 cooperative social units. What role kinship plays in structuring this
 society is poorly understood. We combined extensive association data (518
 days, during 2005-2016) and genetic data (18 microsatellites and 346bp
 mtDNA control region sequences) for 65 individuals from 12 social units
 from the Eastern Caribbean to examine patterns of kinship and social
 behaviour. Social units were clearly matrilineally-based, evidenced by
 greater relatedness within social units (mean r=0.14) than between them
 (mean r=0.00) and uniform mtDNA haplotypes within social units.
 Additionally, most individuals (82.5%) had a first-degree relative in
 their social unit, while we found no first-degree relatives between social
 units. Generally and within social units, individuals associated more with
 their closer relatives(matrix correlations: 0.18-0.25). However, excepting
 a highly-related pair of social units that merged over the study period,
 associations between social units were not correlated with kinship
 (p&gt;0.1). These results are the first to robustly demonstrate
 kinship’s contribution to social unit composition and association
 preferences, though they also reveal variability in association
 preferences that is unexplained by kinship. Comparisons with other
 matrilineal species highlight the range of possible matrilineal societies,
 and how they can vary between and even within species.

title: Data from: Mauritius on fire: tracking historical human impacts on biodiversity loss

description: Fire was rare on Mauritius prior to human arrival (AD 1598); subsequently
 three phases of elevated fire activity occurred: c. 1630-1747, 1787-1833,
 and 1950-modern. Elevated fire frequency coincided with periods of high
 human impact evidenced from the historical record, and is linked to the
 extinction of island endemics.

title: Data from: Integration and modularity of teleostean pectoral fin shape and its role in the diversification of acanthomorph fishes

description: Phenotypic integration and modularity describe the strength and pattern of
 interdependencies between traits. Integration and modularity have been
 proposed to influence the trajectory of evolution, either acting as
 constraints or facilitators. Here, we examine trends in the integration
 and modularity of pectoral fin morphology in teleost fishes using
 geometric morphometrics. We compare the fin shapes of the highly diverse
 radiation of acanthomorph fishes to lower teleosts. Integration and
 modularity are measured using two-block partial least squares analysis and
 the covariance ratio coefficient between the radial bones and
 lepidotrichia of the pectoral fins. We show that the fins of acanthomorph
 fishes are more tightly integrated but also more morphologically diverse
 and faster evolving compared to non-acanthomorph fishes. The main pattern
 of shape covariation in non-acanthomorphs is concordant with the main
 trajectory of evolution between non-acanthomorphs and acanthomorphs. Our
 findings support a facilitating role for integration during the
 acanthomorph diversification. Potential functional consequences and
 developmental mechanisms of fin integration are discussed.

title: Data from: A description of nesting behaviors, including factors impacting nest site selection, in black-and-white ruffed lemurs (Varecia variegata)

description: Nest site selection is at once fundamental to reproduction and a poorly
 understood component of many organisms’ reproductive investment. This
 study investigates the nesting behaviors of black-and-white ruffed lemurs,
 Varecia variegata, a litter-bearing primate from the southeastern
 rainforests of Madagascar. Using a combination of behavioral, geospatial,
 and demographic data, I test the hypotheses that environmental and social
 cues influence nest site selection, and that these decisions ultimately
 impact maternal reproductive success. Gestating females built multiple
 large nests throughout their territories. Of these, females used only a
 fraction of the originally constructed nests, as well as several parking
 locations as infants aged. Nest construction was best predicted by
 environmental cues, including the size of the nesting tree and density of
 feeding trees within a 75 m radius of the nest, whereas nest use depended
 largely on the size and average distance to feeding trees within that same
 area. Microhabitat characteristics were unrelated to whether females built
 or used nests. Although unrelated to nest site selection, social cues,
 specifically the average distance to conspecifics’ nest and park sites,
 were related to maternal reproductive success; mothers whose litters were
 parked in closer proximity to others’ nests experienced higher infant
 survival than those whose nests were more isolated. This is likely because
 nesting proximity facilitated communal crèche use by neighboring females.
 Together, these results suggest a complex pattern of nesting behaviors
 that involves females strategically building nests in areas with high
 potential resource abundance, using nests in areas according to their
 realized productivity, and communally rearing infants within a network of
 nests distributed throughout the larger communal territory.

title: Data from: Chimpanzees trust conspecifics to engage in low-cost reciprocity

description: Many of humans' most important social interactions rely on trust,
 including most notably among strangers. But little is known about the
 evolutionary roots of human trust. We presented chimpanzees (Pan
 troglodytes) with a modified version of the human trust game—trust in
 reciprocity—in which subjects could opt either to obtain a small but safe
 reward on their own or else to send a larger reward to a partner and trust
 her to reciprocate a part of the reward that she could not access herself.
 In a series of three studies, we found strong evidence that in interacting
 with a conspecific, chimpanzees show spontaneous trust in a novel context;
 flexibly adjust their level of trust to the trustworthiness of their
 partner and develop patterns of trusting reciprocity over time. At least
 in some contexts then, trust in reciprocity is not unique to humans, but
 rather has its evolutionary roots in the social interactions of
 humans' closest primate relatives.

title: Data from: An experimental test of local adaptation among cytotypes within a polyploid complex

description: The geographic distributions of polyploids suggest they can have distinct
 and sometimes broader niches compared to diploids. However, relatively few
 field experiments have investigated whether range differences are
 associated with local adaptation or reflect other processes, such as
 dispersal limitation. In three years of transplants across the elevational
 ranges of five cytotypes in the Claytonia perfoliata complex, we found
 evidence for local adaptation. In at least one study year germination was
 higher within the natural range for each cytotype, and four of the five
 cytotypes attained larger biomass within their natural range. Fitness
 within and beyond range varied across years, with two instances of
 cytotypes showing higher fitness beyond the range, highlighting a
 potential role of temporal variability in cytotype differentiation.
 Polyploids as a group did not outperform diploids, but the cytotype with
 highest fitness across environments was a hexaploid reported to be
 invasive. Our results suggest that differences in geographic ranges within
 the C. perfoliata complex reflect local adaptation of cytotypes. Although
 we did not find a general polyploid advantage, our findings support the
 idea that occasional polyploid cytotypes exhibit high fitness relative to
 other cytotypes, and contribute to growing evidence supporting ecological
 differentiation of cytotypes within polyploid complexes.

title: Data from: Characterization of the first Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis isolate from the Colombian Andes, an amphibian biodiversity hotspot

description: The pathogenic chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd),
 constitutes a significant threat to more than 790 amphibian species
 occurring in Colombia. To date there is no molecular or morphological
 description of strains infecting Colombian populations. Here we report the
 genetic and morphological characterization of the first Colombian isolate
 of Bd (strain EV001). Our goals were threefold: (1) to characterize the
 morphology of EV001 using light and scanning electron microscopy, (2) to
 genotype this strain by direct sequencing of 17 polymorphic nuclear
 markers developed previously, and (3) to compare our findings with
 published reports on strains from other areas of the globe. We found that
 EV001 is morphologically consistent with previously described strains.
 Multi-locus genotyping suggested that EV001 is grouped genetically with
 Panamanian strains and is most similar to JEL203 isolated from a captive
 individual. This finding fills an important gap in our knowledge of
 Neotropical strains of Bd and provides a baseline for further evolutionary
 and functional analyses.

title: Data from: Is there a correlation between abundance and environmental suitability derived from ecological niche modelling? A meta-analysis

description: It is thought that species abundance is correlated with environmental
 suitability and that environmental variables, scale, and type of model
 fitting can confound this relationship. We performed a meta-analysis to
 (i) test whether species abundance is positively correlated with
 environmental suitability derived from correlative ecological niche models
 (ENM), (ii) test whether studies encompassing large areas within a species
 range (&gt;50%) exhibited higher AS correlations than studies
 encompassing small areas within a species range (&lt;50%), (iii)
 assess which modelling method provided higher AS correlation, and (iv)
 compare strength of the AS relationship between studies using only
 climatic variables and those that used both climatic and other
 environmental variables to derive suitability. We used correlation
 coefficients to measure the relationship between abundance and
 environmental suitability derived from ENM. Each correlation coefficient
 was considered an effect size in a random-effects multivariate
 meta-analysis. In all cases we found a significantly positive relationship
 between abundance and suitability. This relationship was consistent
 regardless of scale of study, ENM method, or set of variables used to
 derive suitability. There was no difference in strength of correlation
 between studies focusing on large or small areas within a species’ range
 or among ENM methods. Studies using other variables in combination with
 climate exhibited higher AS correlations than studies using only climatic
 variables. We conclude that occurrence data can be a reasonable proxy for
 abundance, especially for vertebrates, and the use of local variables
 increases the strength of the AS relationship. Use of ENMs can
 significantly decrease survey costs and allow the study of large-scale
 abundance patterns using less information. Including only climatic
 variables in ENM may confound the relationship between abundance and
 suitability when compared to studies including variables taken locally.
 However, modelers and conservationists must be aware that high
 environmental suitability does not always indicate high abundance.

title: Data from: Female effects, but no intrinsic male effects on paternity outcome in crickets

description: Competitive fertilization success can depend on the relative abilities of
 competing males to fertilize available ova, and on mechanisms of cryptic
 female choice that moderate paternity. Competitive fertilization success
 is thus an emergent property of competing male genotypes, female genotype
 and their interactions. Accurate estimates of intrinsic male effects on
 competitive fertilization success are therefore problematic. We used a
 cross-classified nonbreeding design in which rival male family background
 was standardized to partition variation in competitive fertilization
 success among male and female family backgrounds in the field cricket
 Teleogryllus oceanicus. Male effects were close to zero, supporting
 previous quantitative genetic designs in which male competitors were
 assigned at random. In contrast, some 22% of the variance in competitive
 fertilization success was explained by female effects, suggesting that
 paternity in this species is influenced strongly by cryptic female choice.
