title: Data from: Using multiple imputation to estimate missing data in meta-regression

description: 1. There is a growing need for scientific synthesis in ecology and
 evolution. In many cases, meta-analytic techniques can be used to
 complement such synthesis. However, missing data is a serious problem for
 any synthetic efforts and can compromise the integrity of meta-analyses in
 these and other disciplines. Currently, the prevalence of missing data in
 meta-analytic datasets in ecology and the efficacy of different remedies
 for this problem have not been adequately quantified. 2. We generated
 meta-analytic datasets based on literature reviews of experimental and
 observational data and found that missing data were prevalent in
 meta-analytic ecological datasets. We then tested the performance of
 complete case removal (a widely used method when data are missing) and
 multiple imputation (an alternative method for data recovery) and assessed
 model bias, precision, and multi-model rankings under a variety of
 simulated conditions using published meta-regression datasets. 3. We found
 that complete case removal led to biased and imprecise coefficient
 estimates and yielded poorly specified models. In contrast, multiple
 imputation provided unbiased parameter estimates with only a small loss in
 precision. The performance of multiple imputation, however, was dependent
 on the type of data missing. It performed best when missing values were
 weighting variables, but performance was mixed when missing values were
 predictor variables. Multiple imputation performed poorly when imputing
 raw data which was then used to calculate effect size and the weighting
 variable. 4. We conclude that complete case removal should not be used in
 meta-regression, and that multiple imputation has the potential to be an
 indispensable tool for meta-regression in ecology and evolution. However,
 we recommend that users assess the performance of multiple imputation by
 simulating missing data on a subset of their data before implementing it
 to recover actual missing data.

title: Data from: Ecology drives natural variation in an extreme antipredator trait: a cost-benefits analysis integrating modeling and field data

description: Autotomy, or the voluntary shedding of body parts, is an extreme
 antipredator behaviour used by species in more than 100 animal families.
 Despite the long-standing observation that the propensity for autotomy can
 vary extensively among populations, how ecology might drive such variation
 is still poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that the variation in
 this extreme behaviour reflects the balance between costs and benefits
 determined by the local ecological environment. We focused on three
 ecological factors that can influence the cost–benefit dynamics of
 autotomy: predation, male–male competition, and food abundance. Using tail
 autotomy in lizards as the study system, we first built an
 individual-based model to show that environments with high predation, high
 food abundance, and low male–male competition favoured individuals that
 autotomized more readily. Moreover, predation likely maintained the
 ability to autotomize, whereas male–male competition and food abundance
 fine-tuned the propensity for autotomy. We used field data from five
 side-blotched lizard populations to verify model results, as well as to
 test the explanatory power of our model. Field data supported simulation
 results regarding the roles predation, male–male competition and food
 abundance. Our model also successfully explained the variation in the
 propensity for tail autotomy among those five lizard populations. Our
 approach can be easily extended to examine how ecology might drive
 adaptive variation in autotomy in other taxa, as well as any traits that
 share similar cost–benefit dynamics.

title: Data from: Canopy facilitates seaweed recruitment on subtidal temperate reefs

description: 1. Facilitation through physical stress amelioration has been largely
 overlooked in subtidal marine ecosystems, where abiotic gradients are
 perceived to be benign. However, seemingly subtle changes in marine
 environmental conditions can alter community structure across vast areas,
 and therefore, the type of interactions and any refuge provided by marine
 foundation species. This could have substantial implications for community
 organization. 2. We measured net recruitment rates of subtidal seaweeds
 under experimentally modified canopy densities, across 1000 km of
 coastline, to examine the nature of interactions between seaweed canopies
 and recruits. 3. Contrary to expectations, facilitation, as evidenced by
 higher recruitment under canopies, was observed throughout all conditions
 for Scytothalia dorycarpa and under partial canopies at three of four
 locations for Sargassum spp., whilst competitive interactions remained
 prevalent for Sargassum under closed canopies. 4. Supply side dynamics
 were also of major importance to recruitment success for Scytothalia. For
 Sargassum, the interaction strength between recruits and the canopy became
 increasingly positive towards lower latitudes, suggesting the canopy
 environment was mitigating stress across the latitudinal climate gradient.
 5. Synthesis. Positive interactions and stress amelioration play an
 important and previously unrecognized role in determining the recruitment
 success and viability of seaweeds in subtidal marine ecosystems. These
 results challenge long held paradigms about the general importance of
 canopy competition and force a rethink of how seaweed interactions affect
 habitat resilience to disturbances in subtidal ecosystems.

title: Data from: Developmental stress can uncouple relationships between physiology and behaviour

description: Phenotypic correlations (rP) have frequently been observed between
 physiological and behavioural traits, and the nature of these associations
 has been shown to be modulated by a range of environmental stressors.
 Studies to date have examined the effects of acute stressors on
 physiology–behaviour interrelations, but the potential for permanent
 changes induced by exposure to stress during development remains
 unexplored. We exposed female zebra finches to dietary restriction during
 the nestling stage and tested how this affected rP among a variety of
 physiological traits (haematocrit, stress-induced corticosterone level and
 basal metabolic rate (BMR)) and behavioural traits (activity and feeding
 rates in novel and familiar environments). Developmental stress completely
 uncoupled the relationship between activity in a novel environment and two
 physiological traits: haematocrit and BMR. This suggests that
 nutritionally based developmental stress has provoked changes in the
 energy budget that alleviate the trade-off between maintenance (BMR) and
 locomotor activities.

title: Data from: Population genetics reveals high connectivity of giant panda populations across human disturbance features in key nature reserve

description: The giant panda is an example of a species that has faced extensive
 historical habitat fragmentation and anthropogenic disturbance, and is
 assumed to be isolated in numerous subpopulations with limited gene flow
 between them. To investigate the population size, health and connectivity
 of pandas in a key habitat area, we noninvasively collected a total of 539
 fresh wild giant panda fecal samples for DNA extraction within Wolong
 Nature Reserve, Sichuan, China. Seven validated tetra-microsatellite
 markers were used to analyze each sample, and a total of 142 unique
 genotypes were identified. Non-spatial and spatial capture-recapture
 models estimated the population size of the reserve at 164 and 137
 individuals (95% confidence intervals 153-175 and 115-163), respectively.
 Relatively high levels of genetic variation and low levels of inbreeding
 were estimated, indicating adequate genetic diversity. Surprisingly, no
 significant genetic boundaries were found within the population despite
 the national road G350 that bisects the reserve, which is also bordered
 with patches of development and agricultural land. We attribute this to
 high rates of migration, with 4 giant panda road-crossing events confirmed
 within a year based on repeated captures of individuals. This likely means
 that giant panda populations within mountain ranges are better connected
 than previously thought. Increased development and tourism traffic in the
 area and throughout the current panda distribution poses a threat of
 increasing population isolation, however. Maintaining and restoring
 adequate habitat corridors for dispersal is thus a vital step for
 preserving the levels of gene flow seen in our analysis and the continued
 conservation of the giant panda meta-population in both Wolong and
 throughout their current range.

title: Data from: Fine-Scale Mapping of Recombination Rate in Drosophila Refines its Correlation to Diversity and Divergence

description: Regional rates of recombination often correlate with levels of nucleotide
 diversity, and either selective or neutral hypotheses can explain this
 relationship. Regional recombination rates also correlate with nucleotide
 differences between human and chimpanzee, consistent with models where
 recombination is mutagenic; however, a lack of correlation is observed in
 the Drosophila melanogaster group, consistent with models invoking natural
 selection. Here, we revisit the relationship among recombination,
 diversity, and interspecies difference by generating empirical estimates
 of these parameters in Drosophila pseudoobscura. To measure recombination
 rate, we genotyped 1,294 backcross hybrids at 50 markers across the
 largest assembled linkage group in this species. Genome-wide diversity was
 estimated by sequencing a second isolate of D. pseudoobscura at shallow
 coverage. Alignment to the sequenced genome of the closely related
 species, Drosophila persimilis, provided nucleotide site orthology. Our
 findings demonstrate that scale is critical in determining correlates to
 recombination rate: fine-scale cross-over rate estimates are far stronger
 predictors of both diversity and interspecies difference than broad-scale
 estimates. The correlation of fine-scale recombination rate to diversity
 and interspecies difference appears to be genome-wide, evidenced by
 examination of an X-linked region in greater detail. Because we observe a
 strong correlation of cross-over rate with interspecies difference, even
 after correcting for segregating ancestral variation, we suggest that both
 mutagenic and selective forces generate these correlations, the latter in
 regions of low crossing over. We propose that it is not cross-overs per se
 that are mutagenic, but rather repair of DNA double-strand break
 precursors via crossing over and gene conversion.

title: Data from: Juvenile concentrations of IGF-1 predict life-history trade-offs in a wild mammal

description: Early postnatal development can have profound effects on life-history
 traits later in life. One mechanism hypothesized to mediate this
 relationship is the anabolic hormone, insulin-like growth factor-1
 (IGF-1). IGF-1 contributes importantly to postnatal growth, and thus
 offers a means by which environmental and genetic variation might direct
 organismal development, reproduction and survival. We tested whether
 juvenile concentrations of IGF-1 can predict intraspecific variation in
 life-history traits later in life using longitudinal data from free-living
 female spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta). We found that juvenile
 concentrations of IGF-1 predicted heavier juvenile mass, which in turn
 predicted greater survival to reproductive maturity. However, independent
 of mass, higher juvenile concentrations of IGF-1 predicted earlier age at
 first parturition and reduced longevity in adulthood. Our results
 highlight the importance of early postnatal development as a determination
 period in mammals and suggest that concentrations of IGF-1 during this
 sensitive period can be used to predict important later-life trade-offs
 between growth, reproductive fitness and life span in wild, long-lived
 animals.

title: Data from: Shedding light on a cryptic cavernicole: a second species of Zenkevitchia Birstein (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Typhlogammaridae) discovered via molecular techniques

description: The Abkhazian region, in the southern foothills of the Caucasus Mountain
 Range, comprises a unique natural environment containing numerous
 subterranean habitats with relict and endemic lineages of obligate
 stygofauna. We aimed to assess the molecular phylogenetic relationships of
 Typhlogammaridae species from Balkan and Transcaucasian caves using the
 mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) in hopes of discovering
 previously undetected biodiversity. Our results showed molecular
 divergence within the genus Zenkevitchia Birstein, with two distinct
 groups located in the karstic regions Gudauta-Sukhumi and Gulripshi,
 respectively. These data indicated the existence of a new species
 (sequence divergences between groups of &gt;14.3%) within the hitherto
 monotypic genus Zenkevitchia and allowed us to estimate the taxonomic
 relationship between Zenkevitchia admirabilis and Z. yakovi sp. n., based
 on examined morphological features and molecular phylogenetic
 relationships. We were unable to detect reliable morphological differences
 between Z. yakovi sp. n. and Z. admirabilis, highlighting the cryptic
 nature of the new species and the value of inclusion of molecular data in
 taxonomic studies.

title: Data from: The evolutionary dynamics of sexually antagonistic mutations in pseudoautosomal regions of sex chromosomes

description: Sex chromosomes can evolve gene contents that differ from the rest of the
 genome, as well as larger sex differences in gene expression compared with
 autosomes. This probably occurs because fully sex-linked beneficial
 mutations substitute at different rates from autosomal ones, especially
 when fitness effects are sexually antagonistic (SA). The evolutionary
 properties of genes located in the recombining pseudo-autosomal region
 (PAR) of a sex chromosome have not previously been modelled in detail.
 Such PAR genes differ from classical sex-linked genes by having two
 alleles at a locus in both sexes; in contrast to autosomal genes, however,
 variants can become associated with gender. The evolutionary fates of PAR
 genes may therefore differ from those of either autosomal or fully
 sex-linked genes. Here, we model their evolutionary dynamics by deriving
 expressions for the selective advantages of PAR gene mutations under
 different conditions. We show that, unless selection is very strong, the
 probability of invasion of a population by an SA mutation is usually
 similar to that of an autosomal mutation, unless there is close linkage to
 the sex-determining region. Most PAR genes should thus evolve similarly to
 autosomal rather than sex-linked genes, unless recombination is very rare
 in the PAR.

title: Data from: Consequences of climate change for biotic disturbances in North American forests

description: About one third of North America is forested. These forests are of
 incalculable value to human society in terms of harvested resources and
 ecosystem services and are sensitive to disturbance regimes. Epidemics of
 forest insects and diseases are the dominant sources of disturbance to
 North American forests. Here we review current understanding of climatic
 effects on the abundance of forest insects and diseases in North America,
 and of the ecological and socioeconomic impacts of biotic disturbances. We
 identify 27 insects (6 nonindigenous) and 22 diseases (9 nonindigenous)
 that are notable agents of disturbance in North American forests. The
 distribution and abundance of forest insects and pathogens respond rapidly
 to climatic variation due to their physiological sensitivity to
 temperature, high mobility, short generation times, and high reproductive
 potential. Additionally, climate affects tree defenses, tree tolerance,
 and community interactions involving enemies, competitors, and mutualists
 of insects and diseases. Recent research affirms the importance of milder
 winters, warmer growing seasons, and changes in moisture availability to
 the occurrence of biotic disturbances. Predictions from the first US
 National Climate Assessment of expansions in forest disturbances from
 climate change have been upheld - in some cases more rapidly and
 dramatically than expected. Clear examples are offered by recent epidemics
 of spruce beetles in Alaska, mountain pine beetle in high-elevation
 five-needle pine forests of the Rocky Mountains, and southern pine beetle
 in the New Jersey Pinelands. Pathogens are less studied with respect to
 climate but some are facilitated by warmer and wetter summer conditions.
 Changes in biotic disturbances have broad consequences for forest
 ecosystems and the services they provide to society. Climatic effects on
 forest insect and disease outbreaks may foster further changes in climate
 by influencing the exchange of carbon, water, and energy between forests
 and the atmosphere. Climate-induced changes in forest productivity and
 disturbance create opportunities as well as vulnerabilities (e.g.,
 increases in productivity in many areas, and probably decreases in
 disturbance risks in some areas). There is a critical need to better
 understand and predict the interactions among climate, forest
 productivity, forest disturbance, and the socioeconomic relations between
 forests and people.
