title: Data from: Threat sensitive adjustment of aggression by males and females in a biparental cichlid

description: Defending offspring provides fitness benefits to parents, but is costly.
 To moderate costs, parents should adjust aggressive responses to the
 threat posed by different species entering their territory. However, few
 studies have experimentally tested behavioral adjustments in response to
 the threat posed by different types of intruders, particularly in the
 field, and in environments with an array of heterospecific intruders.
 Here, using a biparental cichlid, the poor man’s tropheus (Hypsophrys
 nematopus), we investigated whether males and females in the wild invest
 equally into offspring defense and what impact the absence of a partner
 might have on the quality of offspring defense provided by a solitary
 parent. In a separate experiment, we assessed responses of breeding pairs
 to three common heterospecific intruders that pose different levels of
 threat to the breeding pair and their brood. We found that both paired and
 unpaired females invested significantly more into territorial aggression
 than males. However, unpaired females were unable to fully compensate for
 the absence of their partner, with intruders left to venture closer to
 their offspring. Furthermore, we show that breeding pairs can readily
 discriminate between heterospecific intruders, with pairs responding
 quicker and more aggressively towards species that posed a greater
 potential threat. Our results demonstrate that biparental species can have
 extensive behavioral flexibility in their aggressive responses towards
 intruders, even in environments with a high frequency of territory
 incursion. The quality of territorial defense can nevertheless be
 compromised if one parent is left to defend the brood alone.

title: Data from: DNA extraction method affects the detection of a fungal pathogen in formalin-fixed specimens using qPCR

description: Museum collections provide indispensable repositories for obtaining
 information about the historical presence of disease in wildlife
 populations. The pathogenic amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium
 dendrobatidis (Bd) has played a significant role in global amphibian
 declines, and examining preserved specimens for Bd can improve our
 understanding of its emergence and spread. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) enables
 Bd detection with minimal disturbance to amphibian skin and is
 significantly more sensitive to detecting Bd than histology; therefore,
 developing effective qPCR methodologies for detecting Bd DNA in
 formalin-fixed specimens can provide an efficient and effective approach
 to examining historical Bd emergence and prevalence. Techniques for
 detecting Bd in museum specimens have not been evaluated for their
 effectiveness in control specimens that mimic the conditions of animals
 most likely to be encountered in museums, including those with low
 pathogen loads. We used American bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus) of
 known infection status to evaluate the success of qPCR to detect Bd in
 formalin-fixed specimens after three years of ethanol storage. Our
 objectives were to compare the most commonly used DNA extraction method
 for Bd (PrepMan, PM) to Macherey-Nagel DNA FFPE (MN), test optimizations
 for Bd detection with PM, and provide recommendations for maximizing Bd
 detection. We found that successful detection is relatively high (80–90%)
 when Bd loads before formalin fixation are high, regardless of the
 extraction method used; however, at lower infection levels, detection
 probabilities were significantly reduced. The MN DNA extraction method
 increased Bd detection by as much as 50% at moderate infection levels. Our
 results indicate that, for animals characterized by lower pathogen loads
 (i.e., those most commonly encountered in museum collections), current
 methods may underestimate the proportion of Bd-infected amphibians. Those
 extracting DNA from archived museum specimens should ensure that the
 techniques they are using are known to provide high-quality throughput DNA
 for later analysis.

title: Data from: The association between subjective memory complaint and objective cognitive function in older people with previous major depression

description: The goal of this study is to investigate associations between subjective
 memory complaint and objective cognitive performance in older people with
 previous major depression-a high-risk sample for cognitive impairment and
 later dementia. A cross-sectional study was carried out in people aged 60
 or over with previous major depression but not fulfilling current major
 depression criteria according to DSM-IV-TR. People with dementia or
 Mini-Mental State Examination score less than 17 were excluded. Subjective
 memory complaint was defined on the basis of a score ?4 on the subscale of
 Geriatric Mental State schedule, a maximum score of 8. Older people aged
 equal or over 60 without any psychiatric diagnosis were enrolled as
 healthy controls. Cognitive function was evaluated using a series of
 cognitive tests assessing verbal memory, attention/speed, visuospatial
 function, verbal fluency, and cognitive flexibility in all participants.
 One hundred and thirteen older people with previous major depression and
 forty-six healthy controls were enrolled. Subjective memory complaint was
 present in more than half of the participants with depression history
 (55.8%). Among those with major depression history, subjective memory
 complaint was associated with lower total immediate recall and delayed
 verbal recall scores after adjustment. The associations between subjective
 memory complaint and worse memory performance were stronger in
 participants with lower depressive symptoms (Hamilton Depression Rating
 Scale score?7). The results suggest subjective memory complaint may be a
 valid appraisal of memory performance in older people with previous major
 depression and consideration should be given to more proactive assessment
 and follow-up in these clinical samples.

title: Data from: Allometric and trait-based patterns in parasite stoichiometry

description: We measured the elemental content (%C, N, and P) and ratios (C:N, C:P,
 N:P) of a diverse assemblage of parasitic helminths to ask whether
 taxonomy or traits were related to stoichiometric variation among species.
 We sampled 27 macroparasite taxa, spanning 4 phyla, infecting vertebrate
 and invertebrate hosts from freshwater ecosystems in New Jersey.
 Macroparasites varied widely in elemental content, exhibiting 4.7-fold
 variation in %N, 4.6-fold variation in %P, and 11.5-fold variation in N:P.
 Across all species, parasite %P scaled negatively and C:P scaled
 positively with body size. Similar relationships between parasite P
 content and body size occurred at the phylum level and within individual
 species. The allometric scaling of P across species supports the growth
 rate hypothesis, which predicts that smaller taxa require more P to
 support relatively higher growth rates. Life cycle stage was related to %N
 and C:N, with non-reproductive parasite stages lower in %N and higher in
 C:N than actively reproducing parasites. Parasite phylum, functional
 feeding group, and trophic level did not explain elemental variation among
 species. Organismal stoichiometry is linked to ecological function, and
 wide variation in macroparasite stoichiometry likely generates diverse
 patterns in host-parasite nutrient dynamics and variable relationships
 between parasitism and nutrient cycling.

title: Data from: Correlated paternity measures mate monopolization and scales with the magnitude of sexual selection

description: Indirect measures of sexual selection have been criticized because they
 can overestimate the magnitude of selection. In particular, they do not
 account for the degree to which mating opportunities can be monopolized by
 individuals of the sex that compete for mates. We introduce a measure of
 mate monopolization (m) based on the magnitude of correlated paternity and
 evaluate its ability to track changes in the magnitude of sexual
 selection. Simulation models were used to compare how well m tracked
 changes in the selection differential (s) for a trait regulating mating
 success. We further evaluated the association between m and s using ten
 replicate mating arrays of Sagittaria latifolia in which plants with
 contrasting alleles at microsatellite loci competed for siring
 opportunities. The computer models and mating arrays both demonstrated a
 positive linear association between m and s, supporting the utility of m
 as an index of sexual selection. Commonly used measures of sexual
 selection are not easily applied to organisms, such as the flowering
 plants, for which mating events are difficult to observe. The measure of
 mate monopolization introduced here could prove to be a useful addition to
 studies of sexual selection in these organisms.

title: Data from: Frequency-dependent conspecific attraction to food patches

description: In many ecological situations, resources are difficult to find but become
 more apparent to nearby searchers after one of their numbers discovers and
 begins to exploit them. If the discoverer cannot monopolize the resources,
 then others may benefit from joining the discoverer and sharing their
 discovery. Existing theories for this type of conspecific attraction have
 often used very simple rules for how the decision to join a discovered
 resource patch should be influenced by the number of individuals already
 exploiting that patch. We use a mechanistic, spatially explicit model to
 demonstrate that individuals should not necessarily simply join patches
 more often as the number of individuals exploiting the patch increases,
 because those patches are likely to be exhausted soon or joining them will
 intensify future local competition. Furthermore, we show that this
 decision should be sensitive to the nature of the resource patches, with
 individuals being more responsive to discoveries in general and more
 tolerant of larger numbers of existing exploiters on a patch when patches
 are resource-rich and challenging to locate alone. As such, we argue that
 this greater focus on underlying joining mechanisms suggests that
 conspecific attraction is a more sophisticated and flexible tactic than
 currently appreciated.

title: Data from: Microevolutionary processes impact macroevolutionary patterns

description: Background: Macroevolutionary modeling of species diversification plays
 important roles in inferring large-scale biodiversity patterns. It allows
 estimation of speciation and extinction rates and statistically testing
 their relationships with different ecological factors. However,
 macroevolutionary patterns are ultimately generated by microevolutionary
 processes acting at population levels, especially when speciation and
 extinction are considered protracted instead of point events. Neglecting
 the connection between micro- and macroevolution may hinder our ability to
 fully understand the underlying mechanisms that drive the observed
 patterns. Results: In this simulation study, we used the protracted
 speciation framework to demonstrate that distinct microevolutionary
 scenarios can generate very similar biodiversity patterns (e.g.,
 latitudinal diversity gradient). We also showed that current
 macroevolutionary models may not be able to distinguish these different
 scenarios. Conclusions: Given the compounded nature of speciation and
 extinction rates, one needs to be cautious when inferring causal
 relationships between ecological factors and macroevolutioanry rates.
 Future studies that incorporate microevolutionary processes into current
 modeling approaches are in need.

title: Data from: Disentangling pre- and post-natal maternal age effects on offspring performance in an insect with elaborate maternal care

description: Maternal effect senescence has attracted much recent scientific interest.
 However, the age-related effects of pre- and post-natal maternal age are
 often conflated, as these naturally originate from the same individual.
 Additionally, many maternal effect senescence studies fail to account for
 potential biases associated with selective disappearance. Here we use a
 cross-fostered laboratory population of burying beetle, Nicrophorus
 vespilloides, to examine both the effects of female pre- and post-natal
 maternal age on offspring life history traits and the post-care outcomes
 of mothers while accounting for selective disappearance of post-natal
 caregivers. Neither pre- nor post-natal maternal age affected offspring
 longevity or larval weight at hatching, and post-natal age had no effect
 upon post-care maternal outcomes except to confirm the presence of
 actuarial senescence. There was weak evidence for concave relationships
 between two larval traits (dispersal weight and survival) and the age of
 egg-producers. Selective disappearance of caregivers had no clear effect
 on any of the measured offspring traits. Contrary to predictions from
 evolutionary theory, maternal effect senescence and reproductive effort
 increases do not always manifest, and current theory may be insufficient
 to account for the true diversity of aging patterns relating to maternal
 care.

title: Data from: Who is spreading avian influenza in the moving duck flock farming network of Indonesia?

description: Duck populations are considered to be a reservoir of Highly pathogenic
 avian influenza (HPAI) virus H5N1 in some agricultural production systems,
 as they are able to shed the virus for several days without clinical
 signs. Countries endemically affected with HPAI in Asia are characterised
 by production systems where ducks are fed on post-harvest spilled rice.
 During this scavenging process it is common for ducks to come into contact
 with other duck flocks or wild birds, thereby providing opportunities for
 virus spread. Effective risk management for HPAI has been significantly
 compromised by a limited understanding of management of moving duck flocks
 in these countries, despite of a small number of recent investigations.
 Here, for the first time, we described the management of moving duck
 flocks and the structure of the moving duck flock network in quantitative
 terms so that factors influencing the risk of HPAIV transmission can be
 identified. By following moving duck flock farmers over a period of 6
 months in Java, Indonesia, we were able to describe the movement of flocks
 and to characterise the network of various types of actors associated with
 the production system. We used these data to estimate the basic
 reproductive number for HPAI virus spread. Our results suggest that
 focussing HPAI prevention measures on duck flocks alone will not be
 sufficient. Instead, the role of transporters of moving duck flocks,
 hatcheries and rice paddy owners, in the spread of the HPAI virus needs to
 be recognised.

title: Data from: How diverse detrital environments influence nutrient stoichiometry between males and females of the co-occurring container mosquitoes Aedes albopictus, Ae. aegypti, and Culex quinquefasciatus

description: Allocation patterns of carbon and nitrogen in animals are influenced by
 food quality and quantity, as well as by inherent metabolic and
 physiological constraints within organisms. Whole body stoichiometry also
 may vary between the sexes who differ in development rates and
 reproductive allocation patterns. In aquatic containers, such as tree
 holes and tires, detrital inputs, which vary in amounts of carbon and
 nitrogen, form the basis of the mosquito-dominated food web. Differences
 in development times and mass between male and female mosquitoes may be
 the result of different reproductive constraints, which could also
 influence patterns of nutrient allocation. We examined development time,
 survival, and adult mass for males and females of three co-occurring
 species, Aedes albopictus, Ae. aegypti, and Culex quinquefasciatus, across
 environments with different ratios of animal and leaf detritus. We
 quantified the contribution of detritus to biomass using stable isotope
 analysis and measured tissue carbon and nitrogen concentrations among
 species and between the sexes. Development times were shorter and adults
 were heavier for Aedes in animal versus leaf-only environments, whereas
 Culex development times were invariant across detritus types. Aedes
 displayed similar survival across detritus types whereas C.
 quinquefasciatus showed decreased survival with increasing leaf detritus.
 All species had lower values of 15N and 13C in leaf-only detritus compared
 to animal, however, Aedes generally had lower tissue nitrogen compared to
 C. quinquefasciatus. There were no differences in the C:N ratio between
 male and female Aedes, however, Aedes were different than C.
 quinquefasciatus adults, with male C. quinquefasciatus significantly
 higher than females. Culex quinquefasciatus was homeostatic across
 detrital environments. These results allow us to hypothesize an underlying
 stoichiometric explanation for the variation in performance of different
 container species under similar detrital environments, and if supported
 may assist in explaining the production of vector populations in nature.
