title: Data from: Regional variation in Caribbean dry forest tree species composition

description: How does tree species composition vary in relation to geographical and
 environmental gradients in a globally rare tropical/subtropical broadleaf
 dry forest community in the Caribbean? We analyzed data from 153 Forest
 Inventory and Analysis (FIA) plots from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin
 Islands (USVI), along with 42 plots that we sampled in the Bahamian
 Archipelago (on Abaco and Eleuthera Islands). FIA data were collected
 using published protocols. In the Bahamian Archipelago, we recorded
 terrain and landscape variables, and identified to species and measured
 the diameter of all stems ≥5 cm at 1.3 m height in 10 m radius plots. All
 data were analyzed using clustering, ordination, and indicator species
 analysis at regional and local scales. Regionally, the largest cluster
 group included over half of all plots and comprised plots from all three
 island groups. Indicator species were native Bursera simaruba
 (Burseraceae) and Metopium toxiferum (Anacardiaceae). Species composition
 was similar to dry forests throughout the region based on published
 studies. Other groups we identified at the regional scale consisted of
 many Puerto Rico and USVI plots that were dominated by non-native species,
 documenting the widespread nature of novel ecosystems. At the local scale
 the Bahamian data clustered into two main groups corresponding largely to
 the two islands sampled, a pattern consistent with the latitudinal aridity
 gradient. Bahamian dry forests share previously undocumented compositional
 similarity with native-dominated dry forests found throughout the
 Caribbean, but they lack extensive post-disturbance novel dry forests
 dominated by non-native trees found in the Greater Antilles.

title: Data from: Surgery and risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome: a French nationwide epidemiologic study

description: Objectives: To assess the association between Guillain-Barre syndrome
 (GBS) and recent surgery based on French nationwide data. Methods: Data
 were extracted from the French health administrative databases (SNIIRAM /
 PMSI). All patients hospitalized for GBS between 2009 and 2014 were
 identified by ICD-10 code G61.0 as main diagnosis. Patients previously
 hospitalized for GBS in 2006, 2007 and 2008 were excluded. Surgical
 procedures were identified from the hospital database. Hospitalizations
 for surgery with no infection diagnosis code entered while the hospital
 stay were also identified. The association between GBS and a recent
 surgical procedure was estimated using a case-crossover design. Case and
 referent windows were defined as 1–60 days and 366–425 days before GBS
 hospitalization, respectively. Analyses were adjusted for previous
 episodes of gastroenteritis and respiratory tract infection, identified by
 drug dispensing data. Results: Out of the 8,364 GBS cases included, 175
 and 257 patients had undergone a surgical procedure in the referent and
 case windows, respectively (adjusted odds ratio (OR) =1.54, 95% confidence
 interval (CI): 1.26, 1.88). A slightly weaker association was observed for
 surgical procedures with no identified infection during the
 hospitalization (OR=1.40, 95%CI: 1.12, 1.73). In terms of the type of
 surgery, only surgical procedures on bones and digestive organs were
 significantly associated with GBS (OR and 95%CI=2.81 (1.70, 4.65) and 2.37
 (1.32, 4.23), respectively). Conclusion: In this large nationwide
 epidemiological study, GBS was moderately associated with any type of
 recent surgery, and was more strongly associated with bone and digestive
 organ surgery.

title: Data from: Effects of prism eyeglasses on objective and subjective fixation disparity

description: In optometry of binocular vision, the question may arise whether prisms
 should be included in eyeglasses to compensate an oculomotor and/or
 sensory imbalance between the two eyes. The corresponding measures of
 objective and subjective fixation disparity may be reduced by the prisms,
 or the adaptability of the binocular vergence system may diminish effects
 of the prisms over time. This study investigates effects of wearing prisms
 constantly for about 5 weeks in daily life. Two groups of 12 participants
 received eyeglasses with prisms having either a base-in direction or a
 base-out direction with an amount up to 8 prism diopters. Prisms were
 prescribed based on clinical fixation disparity test plates at 6 m. Two
 dependent variables were used: (1) subjective fixation disparity was
 indicated by a perceived offset of dichoptic nonius lines that were
 superimposed on the fusion stimuli and (2) objective fixation disparity
 was measured with a video based eye tracker relative to monocular
 calibration. Stimuli were presented at 6 m and included either central or
 more peripheral fusion stimuli. Repeated measurements were made without
 the prisms and with the prisms after about 5 weeks of wearing these
 prisms. Objective and subjective fixation disparity were correlated, but
 the type of fusion stimulus and the direction of the required prism may
 play a role. The prisms did not reduce the fixation disparity to zero, but
 induced significant changes in fixation disparity with large effect sizes.
 Participants receiving base-out prisms showed hypothesized effects, which
 were concurrent in both types of fixation disparity. In participants
 receiving base-in prisms, the individual effects of subjective and
 objective effects were negatively correlated: the larger the subjective
 (sensory) effect, the smaller the objective (motor) effect. This response
 pattern was related to the vergence adaptability, i.e. the individual
 fusional vergence reserves.

title: Data from: Population genetics and adaptation along elevation gradients in invasive Solidago canadensis

description: Gene flow between populations may either support local adaptation by
 supplying genetic variation on which selection may act, or counteract it
 if maladapted alleles arrive faster than can be purged by selection.
 Although both such effects have been documented within plant species'
 native ranges, how the balance of these forces influences local adaptation
 in invasive plant populations is less clear, in part because introduced
 species often have lower genetic variation initially but also tend to have
 good dispersal abilities. To evaluate the extent of gene flow and
 adaptation to local climate in invasive populations of Solidago
 canadensis, and the implications of this for range expansion, we compared
 population differentiation at microsatellite and chloroplast loci for
 populations across Switzerland and assessed the effect of environmental
 transfer distance using common gardens. We found that while patterns of
 differentiation at neutral genetic markers suggested that populations are
 connected through extensive pollen and seed movement, common-garden plants
 nonetheless exhibited modest adaptation to local climate conditions.
 Growth rate and flower production declined with climatic distance from a
 plant's home site, with clones from colder home sites performing
 better at or above the range limit. Such adaptation in invasive species is
 likely to promote further spread, particularly under climate change, as
 the genotypes positioned near the range edge may be best able to take
 advantage of lengthening growing seasons to expand the range.

title: Data from: Variation in growth of Damaraland mole-rats is explained by competition rather than by functional specialization for different tasks

description: In some eusocial insect societies, adaptation to the division of labour
 results in multimodal size variation among workers. It has been suggested
 that variation in size and growth among non-breeders in naked and
 Damaraland mole-rats may similarly reflect functional divergence
 associated with different cooperative tasks. However, it is unclear
 whether individual growth rates are multimodally distributed (as would be
 expected if variation in growth is associated with specialization for
 different tasks) or whether variation in growth is unimodally distributed,
 and is related to differences in the social and physical environment (as
 would be predicted if there are individual differences in growth but no
 discrete differences in developmental pathways). Here, we show that growth
 trajectories of non-breeding Damaraland mole-rats vary widely, and that
 their distribution is unimodal, contrary to the suggestion that variation
 in growth is the result of differentiation into discrete castes. Though
 there is no evidence of discrete variation in growth, social factors
 appear to exert important effects on growth rates and age-specific size,
 which are both reduced in large social groups.

title: Data from: Altered breeding biology of the European blackbird under artificial light at night

description: Artificial light at night (LAN) has become a stressor of global extent.
 Previous work has highlighted the high potential of LAN to interfere with
 annual and diel rhythms of seasonal organisms as well as to affect
 interactions at the community level. However, our understanding how LAN
 induced alterations of activity and breeding cycles affect the
 reproductive outcome and fitness of the birds is still limited. Here, we
 focus on the effects of night time illumination on the breeding biology of
 urban European blackbirds (Turdus merula). Our results indicate that
 blackbirds prefer illuminated nest sites and advance their date of clutch
 initiation by 6 days per 1 lux of night time illumination. Furthermore,
 daily nest survival rates increased with increasing LAN although this
 effect was most pronounced for the transition from dark to slightly
 illuminated sites. We suggest that blackbirds breeding under low
 artificial night light conditions benefit from the LAN-avoidance of their
 major predators (nocturnal) whereas predominant predators of blackbirds
 nesting in the city centre are diurnal and are, thus, not affected by LAN.
 Hence, it seems likely that both direct effects of LAN on the timing of
 reproduction as well as indirect effects on interspecific interactions
 might contribute to the observed changes in the breeding biology of
 European blackbirds.This study emphasizes the diverse ecological effects
 of the night time illumination which are – in its complexity – still
 poorly understood.

title: Data from: The genetic basis of population fecundity prediction across multiple field populations of Nilaparvata lugens

description: Identifying the molecular markers for complex quantitative traits in
 natural populations promises to provide novel insight into genetic
 mechanisms of adaptation and to aid in forecasting population dynamics. In
 this study, we investigated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using
 candidate gene approach from high- and low-fecundity populations of the
 brown planthopper (BPH) Nilaparvata lugens Stål (Hemiptera: Delphacidae)
 divergently selected for fecundity. We also tested whether the population
 fecundity can be predicted by a few SNPs. Seven genes (ACE, fizzy, HMGCR,
 LpR, Sxl, Vg and VgR) were inspected for SNPs in N. lugens, which is a
 serious insect pest of rice. By direct sequencing of the complementary DNA
 and promoter sequences of these candidate genes, 1033 SNPs were discovered
 within high- and low-fecundity BPH populations. A panel of 121 candidate
 SNPs were selected and genotyped in 215 individuals from 2 laboratory
 populations (HFP and LFP) and 3 field populations (GZP, SGP and ZSP).
 Prior to association tests, population structure and linkage
 disequilibrium (LD) among the 3 field populations were analyzed. The
 association results showed that 7 SNPs were significantly associated with
 population fecundity in BPH. These significant SNPs were used for
 constructing general liner models with stepwise regression. The best
 predictive model was composed of 2 SNPs (ACE-862 andVgR-816) with very
 good fitting degree. We found that 29% of the phenotypic variation in
 fecundity could be accounted for by only 2 markers. Using two laboratory
 populations and a complete independent field population, the predictive
 accuracy were 84.35%-92.39%. The predictive model provides an efficient
 molecular method to predict BPH fecundity of field populations and
 provides novel insights for insect population management.

title: Data from: Genetic loci inherited from hens lacking maternal behaviour both inhibit and paradoxically promote this behaviour

description: Background: A major step towards the success of chickens as a domesticated
 species was the separation between maternal care and reproduction.
 Artificial incubation replaced the natural maternal behaviour of
 incubation and, thus, in certain breeds, it became possible to breed
 chickens with persistent egg production and no incubation behaviour; a
 typical example is the White Leghorn strain. Conversely, some strains,
 such as the Silkie breed, are prized for their maternal behaviour and
 their willingness to incubate eggs. This is often colloquially known as
 broodiness. Results: Using an F2 linkage mapping approach and a cross
 between White Leghorn and Silkie chicken breeds, we have mapped, for the
 first time, genetic loci that affect maternal behaviour on chromosomes 1,
 5, 8, 13, 18 and 19 and linkage group E22C19W28. Paradoxically,
 heterozygous and White Leghorn homozygous genotypes were associated with
 an increased incidence of incubation behaviour, which exceeded that of the
 Silkie homozygotes for most loci. In such cases, it is likely that the
 loci involved are associated with increased egg production. Increased egg
 production increases the probability of incubation behaviour occurring
 because egg laying must precede incubation. For the loci on chromosomes 8
 and 1, alleles from the Silkie breed promote incubation behaviour and
 influence maternal behaviour (these explain 12 and 26 % of the phenotypic
 difference between the two founder breeds, respectively). Conclusions: The
 over-dominant locus on chromosome 5 coincides with the strongest selective
 sweep reported in chickens and together with the loci on chromosomes 1 and
 8, they include genes of the thyrotrophic axis. This suggests that thyroid
 hormones may play a critical role in the loss of incubation behaviour and
 the improved egg laying behaviour of the White Leghorn breed. Our findings
 support the view that loss of maternal incubation behaviour in the White
 Leghorn breed is the result of selection for fertility and egg laying
 persistency and against maternal incubation behaviour.

title: Data from: Hybrid breakdown weakens under thermal stress in population crosses of the copepod Tigriopus californicus.

description: The outcome of hybridization can be impacted by environment conditions,
 which themselves can contribute to reproductive isolation between taxa. In
 crosses of genetically divergent populations, hybridization can have both
 negative and positive impacts on fitness, the balance between which might
 be tipped by changes in the environment. Genetically divergent populations
 of the intertidal copepod Tigriopus californicus have been shown to differ
 in thermal tolerance at high temperatures along a latitudinal gradient. In
 this study a series of crosses were made between pairs of genetically
 divergent populations of T. californicus and the thermal tolerance of
 these hybrids was tested. In most cases the first generation hybrids had
 relatively high thermal tolerance and second generation hybrids were not
 generally reduced below the less-tolerant parental population for high
 temperature tolerance. This pattern contrasts with previous studies from
 crosses of genetically divergent populations of this copepod which often
 show hybrid breakdown in these second generation hybrids for other
 measures of fitness. These results suggest that high temperature stress
 could either increase the positive impacts of hybridization or decrease
 the negative impacts of hybridization resulting in lowered hybrid
 breakdown in these population crosses.

title: Data from: Katian (Upper Ordovician) conodonts from Wales

description: Middle and Upper Katian conodonts are previously known in the British
 Isles from relatively small collections obtained from a few localities.
 The present study is mainly based on 17 samples containing more than
 17,000 conodont elements from an approximately 14 m thick succession of
 the Sholeshook Limestone in a road cut near Whitland, South Wales that
 yielded a diverse fauna of more than 40 taxa. It is dominated by
 representatives of Amorphognathus, Aphelognathus/Plectodina, and
 Eocarniodus along with several coniform taxa. Representatives of
 Decoriconus, Istorinus and Sagittodontina are reported from the Ordovician
 of UK for the first time. The fauna is a typical representative of the
 British Province of the Atlantic Realm and includes a mixture of taxa of
 North American, Baltoscandic, and Mediterranean affinities along with
 pandemic species. Based on the presence of many elements of Amorphognathus
 ordovicicus and some morphologically advanced specimens of A. superbus,
 the Sholeshook Limestone is referred to the lower A. ordovicicus Zone.
 Most of the unit is also coeval with Zone 2 of the Cautleyan Stage in the
 British regional stage classification, and Stage Slice Ka3 of the middle
 Katian Stage in the global stratigraphical classification, an age
 assignment consistent with data from trilobites, graptolites, and
 chitinozoans. The unusually large collection of M elements of
 Amorphognathus provides insight into the complex morphological variation
 of this element of some Katian species of this genus. The Sholeshook
 conodont fauna is similar to those of the Crûg and Birdshill limestones
 but differs in several respects from the slightly older ones from the
 Caradocian type area in the Welsh Borderland. Although having some species
 in common, the Sholeshook conodont fauna clearly differs from coeval
 Baltoscandic faunas, and is even more different in composition compared
 with equivalent North American Midcontinent faunas.
