title: Data from: Next-generation phylogeography of the cockle Cerastoderma glaucum: highly heterogeneous genetic differentiation in a lagoon species

description: Aim. Coastal lagoons form an intriguing example of fragmented marine
 habitats. Restricted gene flow among isolated populations of lagoon
 species may promote their genetic divergence, and may thus provide a first
 step towards speciation. In the present study, the population genetic
 structure of the lagoon cockle Cerastoderma glaucum has been investigated
 to clarify the complex phylogeographic pattern found in previous studies,
 to localize major genetic breaks and to discuss their origin and
 maintenance. Location. The Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts, including
 the Baltic, North Sea and Black Sea. Methods. 204 C. glaucum individuals
 from 14 populations were genotyped using restriction-site associated
 DNA-sequencing (RADseq). The genetic diversity, divergence and structure
 were analyzed using genome-wide Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs).
 Phylogenetic relationships were inferred under a coalescent model using
 SVDquartets. Results. The RADseq approach allowed inferring
 phylogeogeaphic relationships with an unprecedented resolution. Three
 deeply divergent lineages were identified within C. glaucum that are
 separated by many genetic barriers: one lineage in the Aegean-Black Sea
 region, one in the Ionian Sea, and the last one widely distributed from
 the Western Mediterranean to the Baltic Sea. The nested branching pattern
 displayed on the species tree largely agrees with the likely scenario of
 C. glaucum post-glacial expansion from the Mediterranean to the Baltic
 Sea. Main conclusion. The genetic differentiations between geographically
 separated lagoons proved to be strong, highlighting the evolutionary
 influence of these naturally fragmented habitats. The post-glacial
 expansion created complex patterns of spatial segregation of genetic
 diversity with allele frequency gradients in many outlier loci, but also
 discrepancies between the nuclear and mitochondrial genetic markers that
 probably arose from genetic surfing of mitochondrial variation.

title: Data from: A revision of the bioregionalisation of freshwater fish communities in the Australian Monsoonal Tropics

description: The Australian freshwater fish fauna is very unique, but poorly
 understood. In the Australian Monsoonal Tropics (AMT) biome of northern
 Australia, the number of described and candidate species has nearly
 doubled since the last attempt to analyse freshwater fish species
 composition patterns and determine a bioregionalisation scheme. Here, we
 utilise the most complete database of catchment‐scale freshwater fish
 distributions from the AMT to date to: (a) reanalyze spatial patterns of
 species richness, endemism and turnover of freshwater fishes; (b) propose
 a biogeographic regionalisation based on species turnover; (c) assess the
 relationship between species turnover and patterns of environmental change
 and historic drainage connectivity; and (d) identify sampling gaps.
 Biogeographic provinces were identified using an agglomerative cluster
 analysis of a Simpson's beta (βsim) dissimilarity matrix. A
 generalised dissimilarity model incorporating eighteen environmental
 variables was used to investigate the environmental correlates of species
 turnover. Observed and estimated species richness and endemism were
 calculated and inventory completeness was estimated based on the ratio of
 observed to estimated species richness. Three major freshwater fish
 biogeographic provinces and 14 subprovinces are proposed. These differ
 substantially from the current bioregionalisation scheme. Species turnover
 was most strongly influenced by environmental variables that are
 interpreted to reflect changes in terrain (catchment relief and
 confinement), geology and climate (runoff perenniality, stream density),
 and biotic responses to climate (net primary productivity). Past
 connectivity between rivers during low sea‐level events is also
 influential highlighting the importance of historical processes in
 explaining contemporary patterns of biodiversity in the AMT. The inclusion
 of 49 newly discovered species and candidate species only reinforced known
 focal points of species richness and endemism in the AMT. However, a
 number of key sampling gaps remain that need to be filled to fully
 characterise the proposed bioregionalisation.

title: Data from: Directional selection on body size but no apparent survival cost to being large in wild New Zealand giraffe weevils

description: When an individual’s reproductive success relies on winning fights to
 secure mating opportunities, bearing larger weapons is advantageous.
 However, sexual selection can be extremely complex, and over an animal’s
 life the opportunity to mate is influenced by numerous factors. We studied
 a wild population of giraffe weevils (Lasiorhynchus barbicornis) which
 exhibit enormous intra and intersexual size variation. Males bear an
 elongated rostrum used as a weapon in fights for mating opportunities.
 However, small males also employ sneaking behaviour as an alternative
 reproductive tactic. We investigated sexual selection on size by tracking
 individual males and females daily over two 30-day periods to measure
 long-term mating success. We also assessed how survival and recapture
 probabilities vary with sex and size to determine whether there might be a
 survival cost associated with size. We found evidence for directional
 selection on size through higher mating success, but no apparent survival
 trade-off. Instead, larger individuals mate more often and have a higher
 survival probability, suggesting an accumulation of benefits to bigger
 individuals. Furthermore, we found evidence of size assortative mating
 where males appear to selectively mate with bigger females. Larger and
 more competitive males secure matings with larger females more frequently
 than smaller males, which may further increase their fitness.

title: Data from: Increased snowfall weakens complementarity of summer water use by different plant functional groups

description: Winter snowfall is an important water source for plants during summer in
 semiarid regions. Snow, rain, soil water, and plant water were sampled for
 hydrogen and oxygen stable isotopes analyses under control and increased
 snowfall conditions in the temperate steppe of Inner Mongolia, China. Our
 study showed that the snowfall contribution to plant water uptake
 continued throughout the growing season and was detectable even in the
 late growing season. Snowfall versus rainfall accounted for 30% and 70%,
 respectively, of the water source for plants, on the basis of hydrogen
 stable isotope signature (δD) analysis, and accounted for 12% and 88%,
 respectively, on the basis of oxygen stable isotope signature (δ18O)
 analysis. Water use partitioning between topsoil and subsoil was found
 among species with different rooting depths. Increased snowfall weakened
 complementarity of plant water use during summer. Our study provides
 insights into the relationships between precipitation regimes and species
 interactions in semiarid regions.

title: Data from: Sexual conflict and intrasexual polymorphism promote assortative mating and halts population differentiation

description: Sexual conflict is thought to be an important evolutionary force in
 driving phenotypic diversification, population divergence and speciation.
 However, empirical evidence is inconsistent with the generality of sexual
 conflict as enhancing population divergence. Here we demonstrate an
 alternative evolutionary outcome in which sexual conflict plays a
 conservative role in maintaining male and female polymorphisms locally,
 rather than promoting population divergence. In diving beetles, female
 polymorphisms have evolved in response to male mating harassment and
 sexual conflict. We present the first empirical evidence that this female
 polymorphism is associated with 1) two distinct and sympatric male
 morphological mating clusters (morphs) and 2) assortative mating between
 male and female morphs. Changes in mating traits in one sex led to a
 predictable change in the other sex which leads to predictable
 within-population evolutionary dynamics in male and female morph
 frequencies. Our results reveal that sexual conflict can lead to
 assortative mating between male offence and female defense traits, if a
 stable male and mating polymorphisms is maintained. Stable male and female
 mating polymorphism are an alternative outcome to accelerating
 coevolutionary arms race driven by sexual conflict. Such stable
 polymorphisms challenge the common view of sexual conflict as an engine of
 rapid speciation via exaggerated co-evolution between sexes.

title: Data from: Up for grabs - prey herding by penguins facilitates shallow foraging by volant seabirds

description: Visual and olfactory signals are commonly used by seabirds to locate prey
 in the horizontal domain but foraging success depends on prey depth and
 the seabird’s ability to access it. Facilitation by diving seabirds has
 long been hypothesised as a mechanism to elevate deep prey to regions more
 accessible to volant seabirds, but this has never been demonstrated
 empirically. Footage from animal-borne video loggers deployed on African
 penguins was analysed to establish if volant seabird encounters involved
 active cuing by seabirds on penguins and, during mutual prey encounters,
 if interactions were driven by the vertical displacement of prey by
 penguins. We found a strong inverse relationship between penguin group
 size, a proxy for visibility, and the time elapsed from the start of
 penguins' dive bouts to their first encounter with other seabirds.
 Most mutual prey encounters (7 of 10) involved schooling prey elevated
 from depths &gt; 33 m by penguins and only pursued by other seabird
 species once prey was herded into shallow waters. This is likely to
 enhance foraging efficiency in volant seabird species. As such penguins
 may be integral to important processes that influence the structure and
 integrity of marine communities.

title: Design Data

description: Throughout the DCitizens, we collaborated in a series of commissioned projects with local community-based organisations in Lisbon. Key to each case study was the concept of co-creation, which was founded on trusted relationships between all project stakeholders. This dataset provides the design data that was used to build the digital platforms for two commissioned projects: (1) Balcão do Bairro, and (2) ComPartilhar.

Balcão do Bairro: Empowering Marginalised Communities through a Network of Neighbourhood Walk-in Services

“Balcão do Bairro” (BB) is a community-based walk-in service desk in Lisbon, designed to improve access to digital services by assisting those who struggle with using digital platforms, while providing computers and internet access for those who prefer to navigate them independently. Located in low-income neighbourhoods, BB is an initiative that improves accessibility through walk-in services, assisting residents with everything from obtaining a tax card to securing public housing. It works as an intermediary or "middle-out" institution, positioned between grass-roots efforts and institutional hierarchies. The goal of the commissioned project was to assist a network of BBs across Lisbon in management, coordination, and impact assessment through digital technologies. The project was commissioned by the Intercultural European Club and Aga Khan Foundation. We co-created a web platform (https://balcao.dcitizens.eu/) and a series of online tools to support a community of practice composed of the BB network in collaboratively creating instructional materials, organising events, mapping community initiatives, and collecting/analysing qualitative data about BB’s impact. The project began in 2023, and the web platform is now managed by the Aga Khan Foundation, which utilises it as a training and coordination tool among all BBs.

ComPartilhar: Infrastructuring a Community Sponsorship Program for Refugees in Portugal

Community sponsorship programs are among the most successful resettlement approaches, pairing refugees with community groups to help them become active citizens. The Portuguese Council for Refugees (CPR) reached out to the DCitizens consortium to scale up the Portuguese community sponsorship program through online training. The project started in 2023, and we redesigned CPR’s online training program with new mechanisms to foster community building and collective action in forming sponsorship groups during (and after) training. Unfortunately, this project was decommissioned/cancelled in 2024 due to external political forces. Due to changes in the Portuguese government and in public institutions responsible for immigration, the CPR’s sponsorship program was halted.

title: Data from: Failure to coordinate management in transboundary populations hinders the achievement of national management goals: the case of wolverines in Scandinavia

description: 1. Large carnivores are expanding in Europe, and their return is
 associated with conflicts that often result in policies to regulate their
 population size through culling. Being wide-ranging species, their
 populations are often distributed across several jurisdictions, which may
 vary in the extent to which they use lethal control. This creates the
 conditions for the establishment of source-sink dynamics across borders,
 which may frustrate the ability of countries to reach their respective
 management objectives. 2. To explore the consequences of this issue, we
 constructed a vec-permutation projection model, applied to the case of
 wolverines in south-central Scandinavia, shared between Norway (where they
 are culled) and Sweden (where they are protected). We evaluated the effect
 of compensatory immigration on wolverine population growth rates, and if
 the effect was influenced by the distance to the national border. We
 assessed to what extent compensatory immigration had an influence on the
 number of removals needed to keep the population at a given growth rate.
 3. In Norway the model estimated a stable trend, whereas in Sweden it
 produced a 10% annual increase. The effect of compensatory immigration
 corresponded to a 0.02 reduction in population growth rate in Sweden and
 to a similar increase in Norway. This effect was stronger closer to the
 Norwegian-Swedish border, but weak when moving away from it. An average of
 33 wolverines were shot per year in the Norwegian part of the study area.
 If no compensatory immigration from Sweden had occurred, 28 wolverines
 shot per year would have been sufficient to achieve the same goal. About
 15.5% of all the individuals harvested in Norway between 2005-2012 were
 compensated for by immigrants, causing a decrease in population growth
 rate in Sweden. 4. Synthesis and applications. When a population is
 transboundary, the consequences of management decisions are also
 transboundary, even though the political bodies in charge of those
 decisions, the stakeholders who influence them, and the taxpayers who
 finance them are not. It is important that managers and citizens be
 informed that a difference in management goals can reduce the efficiency,
 and increase the costs, of wildlife management.

title: Data from: Rapid loss of self-incompatibility in experimental populations of the perennial outcrossing plant Linaria cavanillesii

description: Transitions from self-incompatibility (SI) to self-compatibility (SC) in
 angiosperms may be frequently driven by selection for reproductive
 assurance when mates or pollinators are rare, and are often succeeded by
 loss of inbreeding depression by purging. Here we use experimental
 evolution to investigate the spread of SC from one such population of the
 perennial plant Linaria cavanillesii into SI populations that still have
 high inbreeding depression. We introduced SC individuals at different
 frequencies into replicate experimental populations of L. cavanillesii
 that varied in access to pollinators. Our experiment revealed a rapid
 shift to SC in all replicates, driven by both greater seed set and greater
 outcross siring success of SC individuals. We discuss our results in the
 light of computer simulations that confirm the tendency of SC to spread
 into SI populations under the observed conditions. Our study illustrates
 the ease with which SC can spread among populations, a requisite for
 species-wide transitions from SI to SC.
