title: Data from: Long-term, not short-term, temperatures predict timing of egg-laying in European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris)

description: Temperature is thought to be an important supplemental cue used by female
 birds to time breeding. It is widely assumed that late spring
 temperatures, within ~1 month of egg-laying, are most predictive of laying
 date, consistent with the idea that temperature is used to fine-tune
 timing of breeding to year-specific local conditions at the time of
 laying. Here we show that a relatively broad, long-term, temperature
 window (Jan 2 – Apr 4, 92 days; r2 = 0.73) best predicted timing of
 egg-laying in European Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris). A “mid-winter”
 temperature window was also strongly correlated with laying date (r2 =
 0.58) but there was no support for an influence of short-term temperatures
 immediately before egg-laying. We assessed the relationship between
 ambient temperature and timing of egg-laying using three complimentary
 approaches: a) an “unconstrained”, exploratory analysis, b) a traditional
 sliding window approach, and c) specific,
 biologically-informed temperature windows. Our results contrast
 markedly with the widely held view, in the avian breeding phenology
 literature, that immediate, pre-breeding, temperatures best predict
 short-term variation in laying because they allow birds to fine-tune
 timing of breeding to local conditions around the time of egg-laying. This
 means that mechanisms that allow integration of long-term temperature
 information must exist in birds – perhaps most parsimoniously involving
 direct effects of temperature on growth of the bird's ectothermic
 insect prey– even though these are currently poorly characterized.

title: Dogs can find the payoff-dominant outcome in the Assurance game

description: Studies on coordination often present animals with the choice of either
 cooperating or remaining inactive; however, in nature, animals may also
 choose to act alone. These situations can be modeled with the Assurance
 game, an economic game that has recently been used to explore social
 decision-making in primates. Here, we investigated the ability of dyads of
 pet dogs to coordinate in the Assurance game. Pairs were presented with
 two alternatives: they could individually solve an apparatus baited with a
 low-value reward (Hare) or they could work together to solve a cooperative
 apparatus baited with one high-value reward for each dog (Stag). All
 individuals matched their partner's choices, but once we controlled
 for side-bias, only four dyads consistently coordinated on the
 payoff-dominant strategy (Stag-Stag). Thus, some dogs are capable of
 finding coordinated outcomes, as do primates, at least in a context in
 which their partner's actions are visible and coordination always
 results in the biggest payoff for both individuals.

title: Data from: Where money grows on trees: a socio-ecological assessment of land use change in an agricultural frontier

description: Integrating social or cultural data into ecological models is critical for
 understanding complex social-ecological systems. In this study, we used an
 interdisciplinary approach to identify, assess, and contextualize possible
 drivers of farmer decisions to use land for cannabis production and
 development shortly after adult use of cannabis was legalized in Josephine
 County, Oregon. First, we interviewed 14 cannabis farmers about their
 relationship with the land, their land use decision-making process, and
 reflections on the local industry. Second, we identified recurring
 responses in farmer interviews that highlighted perceived social and
 geographic drivers of cannabis land use distribution and change. Finally,
 we quantified these drivers as spatial covariates and evaluated their
 value as predictors in three models: 1) Logistic regression of cannabis
 land use distribution post-legalization (2016); 2) Logistic regression of
 cannabis development from pre- to post-legalization (2013/2014 to 2016);
 and 3) Linear regression of existing farm plant count change from pre- to
 post-legalization. We assessed the relationship of covariates with the
 model output and contextualized their patterns using the interview data.
 We found that most of the interview-derived covariates were significantly
 associated with cannabis distribution and development, including parcel
 size, human footprint, distance to nearest cannabis farm, density of local
 cannabis production, clearable land cover, farm zoning, elevation,
 roughness, and distance to rivers. These results provide useful insights
 into the dynamics of a rapid land use change frontier in a formalizing
 sector, as well as its potential environmental repercussions. The
 contextualized understanding of cannabis land use drivers may serve to
 mitigate environmental harm or predict changes occurring in other rural
 cannabis systems.
description: These datasets were generated from spatial data on cannabis
 agriculture in Josephine County, Oregon in 2013, 2014, and 2016, and
 spatial drivers identified based on interviews with cannabis farmers. Due
 to the sensitivity of the subject matter, spatial identifiers have been
 removed. These data are therefore only the code and csv files necessary to
 run the land use models associated with the paper entitled "Where

title: GREMLIN CONUS1 Manually Selected Storms Dataset

description: The CONUS1 dataset is a "toy" dataset that is small enough to be
 able to train a convolutional neural network on a laptop computer to do
 image translation from geostationary satellite images to ground-based
 radar images. It provides three input channels from GOES-16 ABI, one input
 channel from GOES-16 GLM, and one output channel from MRMS.
description: The methodology is described in detail by Hilburn et al. (2021).
 The ABI, GLM, and MRMS data sets were resampled to a common 3 km grid. A
 cloud height of 10 km was used for removing parallax displacements.
 Satellite and radar samples were matched in time with a maximum time
 difference of 2.5 minutes. GLM lightning groups were accumulated over
 15-minute time periods.

title: Data from: Triggered Golgi membrane enrichment promotes PtdIns(4,5)P2 generation for plasma membrane repair

description: The maintenance of plasma membrane integrity and a capacity for
 efficiently repairing damaged membranes are essential for cell survival.
 Large-scale wounding depletes various membrane components at the wound
 sites, including phosphatidylinositols, yet little is known about how
 phosphatidylinositols are generated after depletion. Here, working with
 our in vivo C. elegans epidermal cell wounding model, we discovered
 phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns4P) accumulation and local
 phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2] generation at the
 wound site. We found that PtdIns(4,5)P2 generation depends on the delivery
 of PtdIns4P, PI4K, and PI4P 5-kinase PPK-1. In addition, we show that
 wounding triggers enrichment of the Golgi membrane to the wound site, and
 that is required for membrane repair. Moreover, genetic and
 pharmacological inhibitor experiments support that the Golgi membrane
 provides the PtdIns4P for PtdIns(4,5)P2 generation at the wounds. Our
 findings demonstrate how the Golgi apparatus facilitates membrane repair
 in response to wounding and offers a valuable perspective on cellular
 survival mechanisms upon mechanical stress in a physiological context.

title: Data from: Strong selection is poorly aligned with genetic variation in Ipomoea hederacea

description: The multivariate evolution of populations is the result of the
 interactions between natural selection, drift, and the underlying genetic
 structure of the traits involved. Covariances among traits bias responses
 to selection, and the multivariate axis which describes the greatest
 genetic variation is expected to be aligned with patterns of divergence
 across populations. An exception to this expectation is when selection
 acts on trait combinations lacking genetic variance, which limits
 evolutionary change. Here we used a common garden field experiment of
 individuals from 57 populations of Ipomoea hederacea to characterize
 linear and nonlinear selection on five quantitative traits in the field.
 We then formally compare patterns of selection to previous estimates of
 within-population genetic covariance structure (the G-matrix) and
 population divergence in these traits. We found that selection is poorly
 aligned with previous estimates of genetic covariance structure and
 population divergence. In addition, the trait combinations favoured by
 selection were generally lacking genetic variation, possessing
 approximately 15-30% as much genetic variation as the most variable
 combination of traits. Our results suggest that patterns of population
 divergence are likely the result of the interplay between adaptive
 responses, correlated response, and selection favoring traits lacking
 genetic variation.

title: Oviposition behaviour is not affected by ultraviolet light in a butterfly with sexually-dimorphic expression of a UV-sensitive opsin

description: Animal vision is important for mediating multiple complex behaviours. In
 Heliconius butterflies, vision guides fundamental behaviours such as
 oviposition, foraging and mate choice. Colour vision in Heliconius
 involves ultraviolet (UV), blue and long- wavelength sensitive
 photoreceptors (opsins). Additionally, Heliconius possess a duplicated UV
 opsin, and its expression varies widely within the genus. In Heliconius
 erato, opsin expression is sexually dimorphic; only females express both
 UV-sensitive opsins, enabling UV wavelength discrimination. However, the
 selective pressures responsible for sex-specific differences in opsin
 expression and visual perception remain unresolved. Female Heliconius
 invest heavily in finding suitable hostplants for oviposition, a behaviour
 heavily dependent on visual cues. Here, we tested the hypothesis that UV
 vision is important for oviposition in H. erato and Heliconius himera
 females by manipulating the availability of UV in behavioural experiments
 under natural conditions. Our results indicate that UV does not influence
 the number of oviposition attempts or eggs laid, and the hostplant,
 Passiflora punctata, does not reflect UV wavelengths. Models of H. erato
 female vision suggest only minimal stimulation of the UV opsins. Overall,
 these findings suggest that UV wavelengths do not directly affect the
 ability of Heliconius females to find suitable oviposition sites.
 Alternatively, UV discrimination could be used in the context of foraging
 or mate choice, but this remains to be tested.

 <em>Heliconius</em> butterflies. Additionally, we collected
 light irradiance measurements and reflectance measurements using a
 spectrometer.

title: Directional speakers as a tool for animal vocal communication studies

description: Audio playbacks are a common experimental tool in vocal communication
 research. However, low directionality of sound makes it hard to control
 the audience exposed to the stimuli. Parametric speakers offer a solution
 for transmitting directional audible signals by using ultrasonic carrier
 waves. The targeted transmission of vocal signals offers exciting
 opportunities for testing the diffusion of information in animal groups
 and mechanisms for resolving informational ambiguities. We have field
 tested the quality and directionality of a commercial parametric speaker,
 Soundlazer SL-01. Additionally, we assessed its usability for performing
 playback experiments by comparing behavioral responses of free ranging
 meerkats (Suricata suricatta) to calls transmitted from conventional and
 parametric speakers. Our results show that the tested parametric speaker
 is highly directional. However, the acoustic structure of meerkat calls
 was strongly affected and low frequencies were not reliably reproduced by
 the parametric speaker. The playback trials elicited weakened behavioral
 responses likely due to the partial distortion of the signal but also
 indicating the potential importance of social facilitation for initiating
 mobbing events in meerkats. We conclude that parametric speakers can be
 useful tool for directed transmission of animals calls but after a careful
 assessment of signal fidelity.

title: Data from: Histone acetyltransferases and external demands influence task switching in Temnothorax ants

description: In social hymenopterans, workers specialize on different tasks. Whether a
 worker nurses the brood or forages is influenced by the responsiveness for
 task-related cues which in turn is determined by gene expression. Task
 choice is dynamic and changes throughout a worker’s life, e.g. with age or
 in response to increased demands for certain tasks. Behavioral switches
 require the ability to adjust gene expression but the mechanisms
 regulating such transcriptional adaptations remain elusive. We
 investigated the role of histone acetylation in task specialization and
 behavioral flexibility in Temnothorax longispinosus ants. By inhibiting
 p300/CBP histone acetyltransferases (HAT) and manipulating colony
 composition, we found that HAT inhibition impairs the ability of older
 workers to switch to brood care. Yet, HAT inhibition increased the ability
 of young workers to accelerate their behavioral development and switch to
 foraging. Our data suggest that HAT in combination with social signals
 indicating task demands play an important role in modulating behavior.
 Elevated HAT activity may contribute to keeping young brood carers from
 leaving the nest, where they would be exposed to high mortality. These
 findings shed light on the epigenetic processes underlying behavioral
 flexibility in animals and provide insight into the mechanisms of task
 specialization in social insects.

title: Potential new species of pseudaliid lung nematode (Metastrongyloidea) from two stranded neonatal orcas (Orcinus orca) characterised by ITS-2 and COI sequences

description: Knowledge about parasite species of orcas, their prevalence and impact on
 the health status is scarce. Only two records of lungworm infections in
 orca exist from male neonatal orcas stranded in Germany and Norway. The
 nematodes were identified as Halocercus sp. (Pseudaliidae), which have
 been described in the respiratory tract of multiple odontocete species,
 but morphological identification to species level remained impossible due
 to the fragile structure and ambiguous morphological features. Pseudaliid
 nematodes (Metastrongyloidea) are specific to the respiratory tract of
 toothed whales and are hypothesized to have become almost extinct in
 terrestrial mammals. Severe lungworm infections can cause secondary
 bacterial infections and bronchopneumonia and are a common cause of
 mortality in odontocetes. DNA isolations and subsequent sequencing of the
 rDNA ITS-2 and mtDNA COI revealed nucleotide differences between
 previously described Halocercus species from common dolphin (H.
 delphini) and harbour porpoises (H. invaginatus) that were comparatively
 analysed, pointing towards a potentially new species of pseudaliid
 lungworm in orcas. New COI sequences of six additional metastrongyloid
 lungworms of seals and porpoises were derived to elucidate phylogenetic
 relationships and differences between nine species of Metastrongyloidea.

title: Development and application of a qPCR-based genotyping assay for Ophidiomyces ophidiicola to investigate the epidemiology of ophidiomycosis

description: Ophidiomycosis (snake fungal disease) is an infectious disease caused by
 the fungus Ophidiomyces ophidiicola to which all snake species appear to
 be susceptible. Significant variation has been observed in clinical
 presentation, progression of disease, and response to treatment, which may
 be due to genetic variation in the causative agent. Recent phylogenetic
 analysis based on whole-genome sequencing identified that O. ophidiicola
 strains from the United States formed a clade distinct from European
 strains, and that multiple clonal lineages of the clade are present in the
 United States. The purpose of this study was to design a qPCR-based
 genotyping assay for O. ophidiicola, then apply that assay to
 swab-extracted DNA samples to investigate whether the multiple O.
 ophidiicola clades and clonal lineages in the United States have specific
 geographic, taxonomic, or temporal predilections. To this end, six full
 genome sequences of O. ophidiicola representing different clades and
 clonal lineages were aligned to identify genomic areas shared between
 subsets of the isolates. Eleven hydrolysis-based Taqman primer-probe sets
 were designed to amplify selected gene segments and produce unique
 amplification patterns for each isolate, each with a limit of detection of
 10 or fewer copies of the target sequence and an amplification efficiency
 of 90–110%. The qPCR-based approach was validated using samples from
 strains known to belong to specific clades and applied to swab-extracted
 O. ophidiicola DNA samples from multiple snake species, states, and years.
 When compared to full-genome sequencing, the qPCR-based genotyping assay
 assigned 75% of samples to the same major clade (Cohen’s kappa = 0.360,
 95% Confidence Interval = 0.154–0.567) with 67–77% sensitivity and 88–100%
 specificity, depending on clade/clonal lineage. Swab-extracted O.
 ophidiicola DNA samples from across the United States were assigned to six
 different clonal lineages, including four of the six established lineages
 and two newly defined groups, which likely represent recombinant strains
 of O. ophidiicola. Using multinomial logistic regression modeling to
 predict clade based on snake taxonomic group, state of origin, and year of
 collection, state was the most significant predictor of clonal lineage.
 Furthermore, clonal lineage was not associated with disease severity in
 the most intensely sampled species, the Lake Erie watersnake (Nerodia
 sipedon insularum). Overall, this assay represents a rapid, cost-effective
 genotyping method for O. ophidiicola that can be used to better understand
 the epidemiology of ophidiomycosis.
