title: Data from: Seasonal shifts in sex ratios are mediated by maternal effects and fluctuating incubation temperatures

description: Sex-specific maternal effects can be adaptive sources of phenotypic
 plasticity. Reptiles with temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD)
 are a powerful system to investigate such maternal effects because
 offspring phenotype, including sex, can be sensitive to maternal
 influences such as oestrogens and incubation temperatures. In red-eared
 slider turtles (Trachemys scripta), concentrations of maternally derived
 oestrogens and incubation temperatures increase across the nesting season;
 we wanted to determine if sex ratios shift in a seasonally concordant
 manner, creating the potential for sex-specific maternal effects, and to
 define the sex ratio reaction norms under fluctuating temperatures across
 the nesting season. Eggs from early and late season clutches were
 incubated under a range of thermally fluctuating temperatures, maternally
 derived oestradiol concentrations were quantified via radioimmunoassay,
 and hatchling sex was identified. We found that late-season eggs had
 higher maternal oestrogen concentrations and were more likely to produce
 female hatchlings. The sex ratio reaction norm curves systematically
 varied with season, such that with even a slight increase in temperature
 (0·5 °C), late-season eggs produced up to 49% more females than
 early-season eggs. We found a seasonal shift in sex ratios which creates
 the potential for sex-specific phenotypic matches across the nesting
 season driven by maternal effects. We also describe, for the first time,
 systematic variation in the sex ratio reaction norm curve within a single
 population in a species with TSD.

title: Data from: The ‘filtering’ metaphor revisited: competition and environment jointly structure invasibility and coexistence

description: ‘Filtering’, or the reduction in species diversity that occurs because not
 all species can persist in all locations, is thought to unfold
 hierarchically, controlled by the environment at large scales and
 competition at small scales. However, the ecological effects of
 competition and the environment are not independent, and observational
 approaches preclude investigation into their interplay. We use a
 demographic approach with 30 plant species to experimentally test (i) the
 effect of competition on species persistence in two soil moisture
 environments, and (ii) the effect of environmental conditions on
 mechanisms underlying competitive coexistence. We find that competitors
 cause differential species persistence across environments even when
 effects are lacking in the absence of competition, and that the traits
 that determine persistence depend on the competitive environment. If our
 study had been observational and trait-based, we would have erroneously
 concluded that the environment filters species with low biomass, shallow
 roots, and small seeds. Changing environmental conditions generated
 idiosyncratic effects on coexistence outcomes, increasing competitive
 exclusion of some species while promoting coexistence of others. Our
 results highlight the importance of considering environmental filtering in
 light of, rather than in isolation from, competition, and challenge
 community assembly models and approaches to projecting future species
 distributions.

title: Data from: Midwater zooplankton and suspended particle dynamics in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre: a stable isotope perspective

description: We used amino acid (AA) compound-specific isotope analysis (δ15NAA and
 δ13CAA values) of midwater zooplankton and suspended particles to examine
 their dynamics in the mesopelagic zone. Suspended particle δ15NAA values
 increased by up to 14‰ with depth, whereas particle trophic status
 (measured as trophic position, TP) remained constant at 1.6 ± 0.07.
 Applying a Rayleigh distillation model to these results gave an observed
 kinetic isotope fractionation of 5.7 ± 0.4‰, similar to that previously
 measured for protein hydrolysis. AA-based degradation index values also
 decreased with depth on the particles, whereas a measure of heterotrophic
 resynthesis (&Sgr;V) remained constant at 1.2 ± 0.3. The main
 mechanism driving 15N enrichment of suspended particles appears to be
 isotope fractionation associated with heterotrophic degradation, rather
 than a change in trophic status or N source with depth. In zooplankton the
 “source” AA phenylalanine (Phe) became 15N enriched by up to 3.5‰ with
 depth, whereas zooplankton TP increased by up to 0.65 between the surface
 ocean and midwaters. Both changes in the δ15N values of food resources at
 the base of the zooplankton food web and changes in zooplankton TP drive
 observed zooplankton 15N enrichment with depth. Midwater zooplankton
 δ15NPhe values were lower by 5–8‰ compared with suspended particles,
 indicating this organic matter pool is not a significant zooplankton food
 resource at depth. Instead, 62–88% of the N sustaining midwater
 zooplankton is surface derived, obtained through consumption of sinking
 particles, carnivory of vertical migrants, or direct feeding in surface
 waters at night.

title: Data from: Swimming against the tide: resilience of a riverine turtle to recurrent extreme environmental events

description: Extreme environmental events (EEE) are likely to exert deleterious effects
 on populations. From 1996-2012 we studied the nesting dynamics of a
 riverine population of painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) that experienced
 seven years with significantly definable spring floods. We used
 capture-mark-recapture methods to estimate the relationships between
 &gt;5-m and &gt;6-m flood events and population parameters.
 Contrary to expectations, flooding was not associated with annual
 differences in survival, recruitment, or annual population growth rates of
 the adult female segment of the population. These findings suggest that
 female C. picta exhibit resiliency to key EEE, which are expected to
 increase in frequency under climate change.

title: Data from: Population structure of a microparasite infecting Daphnia: spatio-temporal dynamics

description: Background: Detailed knowledge of spatial and temporal variation in the
 genetic population structure of hosts and parasites is required for
 understanding of hostparasite coevolution. As hot-spots of contemporary
 coevolution in natural systems are difficult to detect and long-term
 studies are restricted to few systems additional population genetic data
 from various hostparasite systems may provide important insights into the
 topic. This is particularly true for parasites as these players have been
 under-investigated so far due to the lower availability of suitable
 molecular markers. Here we traced genetic variation (based on sequence
 variants in the internal transcribed spacer region ITS) among seven
 geographically isolated populations of the ichthyosporean Caullerya
 mesnili a common microparasite of the cladoceran Daphnia (here the D.
 longispina hybrid complex). At some sites we also studied parasite genetic
 variation over time. Then we tested for associations between parasite
 genotypes and host species. Results: Parasite (and host) populations were
 significantly structured across space indicating limited dispersal.
 Moreover the frequency of parasite genotypes varied significantly over
 time suggesting rapid evolutionary change in Caullerya. Finally the
 distribution of parasite genotypes was similar across different host
 species which might in turn have important consequences for parasite
 epidemiology. Conclusions: The approach proposed here can be applied to
 track spatial and temporal changes in the population structure of other
 microparasite species for which sequence variation in the ITS or other
 highly variable genome regions has been documented but other types of
 polymorphic markers are lacking. Screening of parasite sequence variants
 allows for reliable detection of cross-species infections and using
 advanced sequencing techniques in the near future for detailed studies of
 parasite evolution in natural hostparasite systems.

title: Data from: Constant and cycling incubation temperatures have long-term effects on the morphology and metabolic rate of Japanese quail

description: Incubation temperature can have profound effects on growth and development
 of embryos and young birds. However, few studies have examined the role
 that cycling incubation temperature may play in phenotypic variation and
 whether these effects persist to adulthood. We incubated Japanese quail
 eggs at control temperatures (37.5°C), at low temperatures (36.0°C), and
 under a cyclical treatment that maintained the same average temperature as
 the low treatment (36.0°C) with high temperatures that were the same as
 the control (37.5°C) and low temperatures that still allowed for
 development of the embryo (28.0°C). Individuals in the low treatment group
 were smaller in mass and size than individuals in the control group but
 had an increased basal metabolic rate relative to individuals in the
 cyclical treatment group. Temperature cycling offset the effects of low
 incubation temperatures on metabolic rate and embryonic development but
 not the effects on adult mass and size. Although Japanese quail are
 sexually size dimorphic, with females larger than males, we could detect
 no evidence of sex-specific sensitivity to suboptimal incubation
 temperatures. These results highlight the importance of incubation
 temperature and pattern as sources of morphological and physiological
 variation of adult birds.

title: Data from: Linking sex differences to the evolution of infectious disease life-histories

description: Sex differences in the prevalence, course and severity of infection are
 widespread, yet the evolutionary consequences of these differences remain
 unclear. Understanding how male–female differences affect the trajectory
 of infectious disease requires connecting the contrasting dynamics that
 pathogens might experience within each sex, to the number of susceptible
 and infected individuals that are circulating in a population. In this
 study, we build on theory using genetic covariance functions to link the
 growth of a pathogen within a host to the evolution and spread of disease
 between individuals. Using the Daphnia–Pasteuria system as a test case, we
 show that based on within-host dynamics alone, females seem to be more
 evolutionary liable for the pathogen, with higher spore loads and greater
 divergence among pathogen genotypes as infection progresses. Between-host
 transmission, however, appears to offset the lower performance of a
 pathogen within a male host, making even subtle differences between the
 sexes evolutionarily relevant, as long as the selection generated by the
 between-host dynamics is sufficiently strong. Our model suggests that
 relatively simple differences in within-host processes occurring in males
 and females can lead to complex patterns of genetic constraint on pathogen
 evolution, particularly during an expanding epidemic. This article is part
 of the theme issue ‘Linking local adaptation with the evolution of sex
 differences’.

title: Dataset for article Solar Reforming of Plastics using Acid-catalyzed Depolymerization

description: The accumulation of plastics such as PET, Nylon 66, and polyurethane (PU), presents an environmental challenge requiring scalable circular solutions. Here, we report photoreforming (PR) of acid-hydrolyzed waste plastics into H2 and value-added products using an acid–stable photocatalyst composed of cyanamide-functionalized carbon nitride integrated with cobalt–promoted molybdenum disulfide (CoMoS2-CNx). Under AM 1.5G, CoMoS2-CNx yields 0.35 ± 0.02 mmol H2 gcat⁻¹ from PET, increasing to 1.9 ± 0.1 mmol H₂ gcat–¹ under 405 nm irradiation. In 24 h Nylon 66 and PU yield 1.0 ± 0.4 mmol H2 gcat–¹and 4.2 ± 0.1 mmol H2 gcat–¹ respectively. From stability tests, the catalyst remains active over 11 days, affording up to 40% ethylene glycol conversion, 89% acetic acid selectivity and a 9.0% quantum yield. Acid hydrolysis, enabled by recycled sulfuric acid from spent lead-acid batteries, underpins technoeconomic viability, indicating profitable solar-driven processing of ton-scale plastic waste.

title: Data from: Regeneration of glycocalyx by heparan sulfate and sphingosine 1-phosphate restores inter-endothelial communication

description: Vasculoprotective endothelium glycocalyx (GCX) shedding plays a critical
 role in vascular disease. Previous work demonstrated that GCX degradation
 disrupts endothelial cell (EC) gap junction connexin (Cx) proteins, likely
 blocking interendothelial molecular transport that maintains EC and
 vascular tissue homeostasis to resist disease. Here, we focused on GCX
 regeneration and tested the hypothesis that vasculoprotective EC function
 can be stimulated via replacement of GCX when it is shed. We used EC with
 [i] intact heparan sulfate (HS), the most abundant GCX component; [ii]
 degraded HS; or [iii] HS that was restored after enzyme degradation, by
 cellular self-recovery or artificially. Artificial HS restoration was
 achieved via treatment with exogenous HS, with or without the GCX
 regenerator and protector sphingosine 1- phosphate (S1P). In these cells
 we immunocytochemically examined expression of Cx isotype 43 (Cx43) at EC
 borders and characterized Cx-containing gap junction activity by measuring
 interendothelial spread of gap junction permeable Lucifer Yellow dye. With
 intact HS, 60% of EC borders expressed Cx43 and dye spread to 2.88 ± 0.09
 neighboring cells. HS degradation decreased Cx43 expression to 30% and
 reduced dye spread to 1.87± 0.06 cells. Cellular self-recovery of HS
 restored baseline levels of Cx43 and dye transfer. Artificial HS recovery
 with exogenous HS partially restored Cx43 expression to 46% and yielded
 dye spread to only 1.03 ± 0.07 cells. Treatment with both HS and S1P,
 recovered HS and restored Cx43 to 56% with significant dye transfer to
 3.96 ± 0.23 cells. This is the first evidence of GCX regeneration in a
 manner that effectively restores vasculoprotective EC communication.

title: Data from: A point mutation in a herpesvirus co-determines neuropathogenicity and viral shedding

description: A point mutation in the DNA polymerase gene in equine herpesvirus type 1
 (EHV-1) is one determinant for the development of neurological disease in
 horses. Three recently conducted infection experiments using domestic
 horses and ponies failed to detect statistically significant differences
 in viral shedding between the neuropathogenic and non-neuropathogenic
 variants. These results were interpreted as suggesting the absence of a
 consistent selective advantage of the neuropathogenic variant and
 therefore appeared to be inconsistent with a systematic increase in the
 prevalence of neuropathogenic strains. To overcome potential problems of
 low statistical power related to small group sizes in these infection
 experiments, we integrated raw data from all three experiments into a
 single statistical analysis. The results of this combined analysis showed
 that infection with the neuropathogenic EHV-1 variant led to a
 statistically significant increase in viral shedding. This finding is
 consistent with the idea that neuropathogenic strains could have a
 selective advantage and are therefore systematically increasing in
 prevalence in domestic horse populations. However, further studies are
 required to determine whether a selective advantage indeed exists for
 neuropathogenic strains.

title: A new vaccination regimen using adenovirus-vectored vaccine confers effective protection against African swine fever virus in swine

description: African swine fever (ASF) is an acute and highly contagious lethal infectious disease in swine that severely threatens the global pig industry. At present, a safe and efficacious vaccine is urgently required to prevent and control the disease. In this study, we evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of replication-incompetent type-2 adenoviruses carrying African swine fever virus (ASFV) antigens, namely <i>CP204L</i> (p30), <i>E183L</i> (p54), <i>EP402R</i> (CD2v), <i>B646L</i> (p72), and <i>B602L</i> (p72 chaperone). A vaccine cocktail delivered by simultaneous intramuscular (IM) and intranasal (IN) administration robustly elicited both systemic and mucosal immune responses against AFSV in mice and swine and provided highly effective protection against the circulating ASFV strain in farmed pigs. This multi-antigen cocktail vaccine was well tolerated in the vaccinated animals. No significant interference among antigens was observed. The combined IM and IN vaccination using this adenovirus-vectored antigen cocktail vaccine warrants further evaluation for providing safe and effective protection against ASFV infection and transmission.
