title: Data from: Are attractive male crickets better able to pay the costs of an immune challenge?

description: Reproduction and immunity are fitness-related traits that trade-off with
 each other. Parasite-mediated theories of sexual selection suggest,
 however, that higher-quality males should suffer smaller costs to
 reproduction-related traits and behaviours (e.g., sexual display) from an
 immune challenge because these males possess more resources with which to
 deal with the challenge. We used Gryllus texensis field crickets to test
 the prediction that attractive males should better maintain the
 performance of fitness-related traits (e.g., calling effort) in the face
 of an immune challenge compared with unattractive males. We found no
 support for our original predictions. However, that immune activation
 causes attractive males to significantly increase their calling effort
 compared with unattractive males suggests that these males might
 terminally invest in order to compensate for decreased future
 reproduction.

title: Data from: Phylogenetic ANCOVA: estimating changes in evolutionary rates as well as relationships between traits

description: We present a new phylogenetic comparative method—phylogenetic analysis of
 covariance (PANCOVA)—that uses interspecific data and a phylogeny to
 estimate the effects of major events on both the rate of phenotypic
 evolution and the association between traits. It could be used, for
 example, to model the impact of a key innovation, colonization of a new
 habitat, or environmental change. The approach is optimized with maximum
 likelihood and is formulated under the familiar phylogenetic generalized
 least squares framework, which is flexible and easily extended to
 incorporate other factors and parameters. As an example, we explore the
 relationship between parental investment and relative telencephalon size
 in birds and contrast the results of PANCOVA with those from other
 phylogenetic comparative methods.

title: Data from: Social-bond strength influences vocally-mediated recruitment to mobbing

description: Strong social bonds form between individuals in many group-living species,
 and these relationships can have important fitness benefits. When
 responding to vocalizations produced by groupmates, receivers are expected
 to adjust their behaviour depending on the nature of the bond they share
 with the signaller. Here we investigate whether the strength of the
 signaller–receiver social bond affects response to calls that attract
 others to help mob a predator. Using field-based playback experiments on a
 habituated population of wild dwarf mongooses (Helogale parvula), we first
 demonstrate that a particular vocalization given on detecting predatory
 snakes does act as a recruitment call; receivers were more likely to look,
 approach and engage in mobbing behaviour than in response to control close
 calls. We then show that individuals respond more strongly to these
 recruitment calls if they are from groupmates with whom they are more
 strongly bonded (those with whom they preferentially groom and forage).
 Our study, therefore, provides novel evidence about the anti-predator
 benefits of close bonds within social groups.

title: Data from: Disease ecology across soil boundaries: effects of below-ground fungi on above-ground host–parasite interactions

description: Host–parasite interactions are subject to strong trait-mediated indirect
 effects from other species. However, it remains unexplored whether such
 indirect effects may occur across soil boundaries and connect spatially
 isolated organisms. Here, we demonstrate that, by changing plant (milkweed
 Asclepias sp.) traits, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) significantly
 affect interactions between a herbivore (the monarch butterfly Danaus
 plexippus) and its protozoan parasite (Ophryocystis elektroscirrha), which
 represents an interaction across four biological kingdoms. In our
 experiment, AMF affected parasite virulence, host resistance and host
 tolerance to the parasite. These effects were dependent on both the
 density of AMF and the identity of milkweed species: AMF indirectly
 increased disease in monarchs reared on some species, while alleviating
 disease in monarchs reared on other species. The species-specificity was
 driven largely by the effects of AMF on both plant primary (phosphorus)
 and secondary (cardenolides; toxins in milkweeds) traits. Our study
 demonstrates that trait-mediated indirect effects in disease ecology are
 extensive, such that below-ground interactions between AMF and plant roots
 can alter host–parasite interactions above ground. In general, soil biota
 may play an underappreciated role in the ecology of many terrestrial
 host–parasite systems.

title: Data from: Reciprocal interaction matrix reveals complex genetic and dose-dependent specificity among coinfecting parasites

description: Understanding genetic specificity in factors determining the outcome of
 host-parasite interactions is especially important as it contributes to
 parasite epidemiology, virulence, and maintenance of genetic variation.
 Such specificity, however, is still generally poorly understood. We
 examined genetic specificity in interactions among coinfecting parasites.
 In natural populations, individual hosts are often simultaneously infected
 by multiple parasite species and genotypes that interact. Such
 interactions could maintain genetic variation in parasite populations if
 they are genetically specific so that the relative fitness of parasite
 genotypes varies across host individuals depending on (1) the
 presence/absence of coinfections and/or (2) the genetic composition of the
 coinfecting parasite community. We tested these predictions using clones
 of fish eye flukes Diplostomum pseudospathaceum and Diplostomum
 gasterostei. We found that interactions among parasites had a strong
 genetic basis and that this modified genetic variation in infection
 success of D. pseudospathaceum between single and multiple infections as
 well as across multiply infected host individuals depending on the genetic
 identity of the coinfecting D. gasterostei. The relative magnitude of
 these effects, however, depended on the exposure dose, suggesting that
 ecological factors can modify genetic interactions between parasites.

title: Data from: Cortisol awakening response is linked to disease course and progression in multiple sclerosis

description: OBJECTIVES: Dysregulation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis
 has frequently been reported in multiple sclerosis (MS). So far, HPA axis
 function in MS has predominantly been studied under pharmacological
 stimulation which is associated with a series of methodological caveats.
 Knowledge of circadian cortisol patterns and cortisol awakening response
 (CAR) is still limited. METHODS: A total of 77 MS patients (55
 relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) / 22 secondary-progressive MS (SPMS)) as
 well as 34 healthy control (HC) subjects were enrolled. Diurnal cortisol
 release was assessed by repeated salivary cortisol sampling. Neurological
 disability was rated by the Kurtzke’s Expanded Disability Status Scale
 (EDSS). Depressive symptoms and perceived stress were assessed by
 self-report measures. RESULTS: RRMS but not SPMS patients differed in
 circadian cortisol release from HC subjects. Differences in cortisol
 release were restricted to CAR. Treated and treatment naïve RRMS patients
 did not differ in CAR. In a RRMS follow-up cohort (nine months follow-up),
 RRMS patients with EDSS progression (≥ 0.5) expressed a significantly
 greater CAR compared to HC subjects. RRMS patients with a stable EDSS did
 not differ from HC subjects. Neither depressive symptoms nor perceived
 stress ratings were associated with CAR in RRMS patients. In a step-wise
 regression analysis, EDSS at baseline and CAR were predictive of EDSS at
 follow-up (R² = 67 %) for RRMS patients. CONCLUSIONS: Circadian cortisol
 release, in particular CAR, shows a course specific pattern with most
 pronounced release in RRMS. There is also some evidence for greater CAR in
 RRMS patients with EDSS progression. As a consequence, CAR might be of
 predictive value in terms of neurological disability in RRMS patients. The
 possible role of neuroendocrine-immune interactions in MS pathogenesis is
 further discussed.

title: Data from: Non-invasive genetic monitoring involving citizen science enables reconstruction of current pack dynamics in a re-establishing wolf population

description: Background: Carnivores are re-establishing in many human-populated areas,
 where their presence is often contentious. Reaching consensus over
 management decisions is often hampered by a dispute about the size of the
 local carnivore population. Understanding the reproductive dynamics and
 individual movements of the carnivores can provide support for management
 decisions, but individual-level information can be difficult to obtain
 from elusive, wide-ranging species. Non-invasive genetic sampling can
 yield such information, but makes subsequent reconstruction of population
 history challenging due to incomplete population coverage and error-prone
 data. Here, we combine a collaborative, volunteer-based sampling scheme
 with Bayesian pedigree reconstruction to describe the pack dynamics of an
 establishing grey wolf (Canis lupus) population in south-west Finland,
 where wolf breeding was recorded in 2006 for the first time in over a
 century. Results: Using DNA extracted mainly from faeces collected since
 2008, we identified 81 individual wolves and assigned credible full
 parentages to 70 of these and partial parentages to a further 9, revealing
 7 breeding pairs. Individuals used a range of strategies to obtain
 breeding opportunities, including dispersal to established or new packs,
 long-distance migration and inheriting breeding roles. Gene flow occurred
 between all packs but inbreeding events were rare. Conclusions: These
 findings demonstrate that characterizing ongoing pack dynamics can provide
 detailed, locally-relevant insight into the ecology of contentious species
 such as the wolf. Involving various stakeholders in data collection makes
 these results more likely to be accepted as unbiased and hence reliable
 grounds for management decisions.

title: Data from: Colonizing the wild west: low diversity of complete mitochondrial genomes in western North Pacific killer whales suggests a founder effect

description: In the North Pacific, fish-eating R-type “resident” and mammal-eating
 T-type “transient” killer whales do not interbreed and differ in ecology
 and behavior. Full-length mitochondrial genomes (about 16.4 kbp) were
 sequenced and assembled for 12 R-type and 14 T-type killer whale samples
 from different areas of the western North Pacific. All R-type individuals
 had the same haplotype, previously described for R-type killer whales from
 both eastern and western North Pacific. However, haplotype diversity of
 R-type killer whales was much lower in the western North Pacific than in
 the Aleutian Islands and the eastern North Pacific. T-type whales had 3
 different haplotypes, including one previously undescribed. Haplotype
 diversity of T-type killer whales in the Okhotsk Sea was also much lower
 than in the Aleutian Islands and the eastern North Pacific. The highest
 haplotype diversity for both R- and T-type killer whales was observed in
 the Aleutian Islands. We discuss how the environmental conditions during
 the last glacial period might have shaped the history of killer whale
 populations in the North Pacific. Our results suggest the recent
 colonization or re-colonization of the western North Pacific by small
 groups of killer whales originating from the central or eastern North
 Pacific, possibly due to favorable environmental changes after the Last
 Glacial Maximum.

title: Data from: Quorum sensing and cheating in bacterial biofilms

description: The idea from human societies that self-interest can lead to a breakdown
 of cooperation at the group level is sometimes termed the public goods
 dilemma. We tested this idea in the opportunistic bacterial pathogen,
 Pseudomonas aeruginosa, by examining the influence of putative cheats that
 do not cooperate via cell-to-cell signalling (quorum-sensing, QS). We
 found that: (i) QS cheating occurs in biofilm populations owing to
 exploitation of QS-regulated public goods; (ii) the thickness and density
 of biofilms was reduced by the presence of non-cooperative cheats; (iii)
 population growth was reduced by the presence of cheats, and this
 reduction was greater in biofilms than in planktonic populations; (iv) the
 susceptibility of biofilms to antibiotics was increased by the presence of
 cheats; and (v) coercing cooperator cells to increase their level of
 cooperation decreases the extent to which the presence of cheats reduces
 population productivity. Our results provide clear support that conflict
 over public goods reduces population fitness in bacterial biofilms, and
 that this effect is greater than in planktonic populations. Finally, we
 discuss the clinical implications that arise from altering the
 susceptibility to antibiotics.

title: Data from: Maternal size and body condition predict the amount of post-fertilization maternal provisioning in matrotrophic fish

description: Maternal effects often provide a mechanism for adaptive transgenerational
 phenotypic plasticity. The maternal phenotype can profoundly influence the
 potential for such environmentally-induced adjustments of the offspring
 phenotype, causing correlations between offspring and maternal traits.
 Here we study potential effects of the maternal phenotype on offspring
 provisioning prior to and during gestation in the matrotrophic
 live-bearing fish species Poeciliopsis retropinna. Specifically, we
 examine how maternal traits such as body fat, lean mass and length relate
 to pre- (i.e. allocation to the egg prior to fertilization) and
 post-fertilization (i.e. allocation to the embryo during pregnancy)
 maternal provisioning and how this ultimately affects offspring size and
 body composition at birth. We show that pre- and post-fertilization
 maternal provisioning is associated with maternal length and body fat, but
 not with maternal lean mass. Maternal length is proportionally associated
 with egg mass at fertilization and offspring mass at birth, notably
 without changing the ratio of pre- to post-fertilization maternal
 provisioning. This ratio, referred to as the matrotrophy index (MI), is
 often used to quantify the level of matrotrophy. By contrast, the
 proportion of maternal body fat is positively associated with
 post-fertilization, but not pre-fertilization, maternal provisioning and
 consequently is strongly positively correlated with the MI. We furthermore
 found that the composition of embryos changes throughout pregnancy.
 Females invest first in embryo lean mass, then allocate fat reserves to
 embryos very late in pregnancy. We argue that this delay in fat allocation
 may be adaptive, because it delays an unnecessary high reproductive burden
 to the mother during earlier stages of pregnancy, potentially leading to a
 more slender body shape and improved locomotor performance. In conclusion,
 our study suggests that (i) offspring size at birth is a plastic trait
 that is predicted by both maternal length and body fat, and (ii) the MI is
 a plastic trait that is predicted solely by the proportion of maternal
 body fat. It herewith provides new insights into the potential maternal
 causes and consequences of embryo provisioning during pregnancy in
 matrotrophic live-bearing species.

title: Data from: The purging of deleterious mutations in simple and complex mating environments

description: There is a general expectation that sexual selection should align with
 natural selection to aid the purging of deleterious mutations, yet
 experiments comparing purging under monogamy vs. polygamy have provided
 mixed results. Recent studies suggest that this may be because the
 simplified mating environments used in these studies reduces the benefit
 of sexual selection through males and hampers natural selection through
 females by increasing costs associated with sexual conflict. To test the
 effect of the physical mating environment on purging, we use experimental
 evolution in Drosophila melanogaster to track the frequency of four
 separate deleterious mutations in replicate populations that experience
 polygamy under either a simple or structurally complex mating arena while
 controlling for arena size. Consistent with past results suggesting a
 greater net benefit of polygamy in a complex environment, two of the
 mutations were purged significantly faster in this environment. The other
 two mutations showed no significant difference between environments.

title: Data from: Fruit secondary compounds mediate the retention time of seeds in the guts of Neotropical fruit bats

description: Plants often recruit frugivorous animals to transport their seeds, however
 gut passage can have varying effects on plant fitness depending on the
 physical and chemical treatment of the seed, the distance seeds are
 transported, and the specific site of deposition. One way in which plants
 can mediate the effects of gut passage on fitness is by producing fruit
 secondary compounds that influence gut retention time. Using frugivorous
 bats (Carollia perspicillata: Phyllostomidae) and Neotropical plants in
 the genus Piper, we compared gut retention time of seeds among five plant
 species (P. colonense, P. peltatum, P. reticulatum, P. sancti-felicis, and
 P. silvivagum) and investigated the role of fruit amides (piperine,
 piplartine and whole fruit amide extracts from P. reticulatum) in
 mediating gut retention time. Our results showed interspecific differences
 in gut retention time; P. reticulatum seeds passed most slowly, while P.
 silvivagum and P. colonense seeds passed most rapidly. Piplartine and P.
 reticulatum amide extracts decreased gut retention time, while piperine
 had no effect. In addition, we examined the effects of gut retention time
 on seed germination success and speed in laboratory conditions. For
 germination success, the effects were species-specific; germination
 success increased with gut retention time for P. peltatum but not for
 other species. Gut retention time did not influence germination speed in
 any of the species examined. Plant secondary compounds have primarily been
 studied in the context of their defensive role against herbivores and
 pathogens, but may also play a key role in mediating seed dispersal
 interactions.
