title: Data from: DIY meteorology: use of citizen science to monitor snow dynamics in a data-sparse city

description: Cities are under pressure to operate their services effectively and
 project costs of operations across various timeframes. In high-latitude
 and high-altitude urban centers, snow management is one of the larger
 unknowns and has both operational and budgetary limitations. Snowfall and
 snow depth observations within urban environments are important to plan
 snow clearing and prepare for the effects of spring runoff on cities’
 drainage systems. In-house research functions are expensive, but one way
 to overcome that expense and still produce effective data is through
 citizen science. In this paper, we examine the potential to use citizen
 science for snowfall data collection in urban environments. A group of
 volunteers measured daily snowfall and snow depth at an urban site in
 Saskatoon (Canada) during two winters. Reliability was assessed with a
 statistical consistency analysis and a comparison with other data sets
 collected around Saskatoon. We found that citizen-science-derived data
 were more reliable and relevant for many urban management stakeholders.
 Feedback from the participants demonstrated reflexivity about social
 learning and a renewed sense of community built around generating reliable
 and useful data. We conclude that citizen science holds great potential to
 improve data provision for effective and sustainable city planning and
 greater social learning benefits overall.

title: Data from: Adaptive divergence along environmental gradients in a climate-change-sensitive mammal

description: In the face of predicted climate change, a broader understanding of biotic
 responses to varying environments has become increasingly important within
 the context of biodiversity conservation. Local adaptation is one
 potential option, yet remarkably few studies have harnessed genomic tools
 to evaluate the efficacy of this response within natural populations. Here
 we show evidence of selection driving divergence of a climate
 change-sensitive mammal, the American pika (Ochotona princeps),
 distributed along elevation gradients at its northern range margin in the
 Coast Mountains of British Columbia (BC), Canada. We employed amplified
 fragment length polymorphism-based genomic scans to conduct genome-wide
 searches for candidate loci among populations inhabiting varying
 environments from sea-level to 1500m. Using a highly stringent approach to
 outlier locus detection, we identified 68 candidate loci putatively under
 selection (out of a total 1509 screened), 15 of which displayed
 significant associations with environmental variables including annual
 precipitation and maximum summer temperature. These candidate loci may
 represent important targets for predicting pika responses to climate
 change and informing novel approaches to wildlife conservation in a
 changing world.

title: Data from: Admixture mapping of male nuptial color and body shape in a recently formed hybrid population of threespine stickleback

description: Despite recent progress, we still know relatively little about the genetic
 architecture that underlies adaptation to divergent environments.
 Determining whether the genetic architecture of phenotypic adaptation
 follows any predictable patterns requires data from a wide variety of
 species. However, in many organisms, genetic studies are hindered by the
 inability to perform genetic crosses in the laboratory or by long
 generation times. Admixture mapping is an approach that circumvents these
 issues by taking advantage of hybridization that occurs between
 populations or species in the wild. Here, we demonstrate the utility of
 admixture mapping in a naturally occurring hybrid population of threespine
 sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) from Enos Lake, British Columbia.
 Until recently, this lake contained two species of sticklebacks adapted to
 divergent habitats within the lake. This benthic-limnetic species pair
 diverged in a number of phenotypes, including male nuptial coloration and
 body shape, which were previously shown to contribute to reproductive
 isolation between them. However, recent ecological disturbance has
 contributed to extensive hybridization between the species, and there is
 now a single, admixed population within Enos Lake. We collected over 500
 males from Enos Lake and found that most had intermediate nuptial color
 and body shape. By genotyping males with nuptial color at the two extremes
 of the phenotypic distribution, we identified seven genomic regions on
 three chromosomes associated with divergence in male nuptial color. These
 genomic regions are also associated with variation in body shape,
 suggesting that tight linkage and/or pleiotropy facilitated adaptation to
 divergent environments in this benthic-limnetic species pairs.

title: Data from: Relationships between vital rates and ecological traits in an avian community

description: 1. Comparative studies about the relationships between vital rates and
 ecological traits at the community level are conspicuously lacking for
 most taxa because estimating vital rates requires detailed demographic
 data. Identifying relationships between vital rates and ecological traits
 could help to better understand ecological and evolutionary demographic
 mechanisms that lead to interspecific differences in vital rates. 2. We
 use novel dynamic N-mixture models for counts to achieve this for a whole
 avian community comprising 53 passerine species, while simultaneously
 accounting for density dependence and environmental stochasticity in
 recruitment and survival and, importantly, correcting our inferences for
 imperfect detection. Demographic stochasticity is taken into account in
 the form of the binomial and Poisson distributions describing survival
 events and number of recruits. We then explore relationships between
 estimated demographic parameters (i.e., vital rates) and ecological traits
 related to migration patterns, diet, habitat and nesting location of each
 species. 3. The relative importance of recruitment and adult survival as
 contributors to population growth varied greatly among species, and
 interspecific differences in vital rates partly reflected differences in
 ecological traits. Migratory mode was associated with interspecific
 differences in population growth and density dependence. Resident species
 had higher population growth rates than long- and short-distance migrants.
 We found no relationships between diet and population growth rate. Habitat
 differences were associated with different growth rates: alpine, wetland,
 and farmland species had lower population growth rates than forest
 species. Differences in population growth rates among nesting locations
 showed that breeding habitat is essential for population dynamics. 4. Our
 study reveals relationships between ecological traits and contributions of
 vital rates to population growth and suggests ways in which patterns of
 population growth fluctuations in a community might be determined by life
 history.

title: Data from: Carbon dynamics of mature and regrowth tropical forests derived from a pantropical database (TropForC-db)

description: Tropical forests play a critical role in the global carbon (C) cycle,
 storing ~45% of terrestrial C and constituting the largest component of
 the terrestrial C sink. Despite their central importance to the global C
 cycle, their ecosystem-level C cycles are not as well characterized as
 those of extra-tropical forests, and knowledge gaps hamper efforts to
 quantify C budgets across the tropics and to model tropical forest-
 climate interactions. To advance understanding of C dynamics of
 pantropical forests, we compiled a new database, the Tropical Forest C
 database (TropForC-db), which contains data on ground-based measurements
 of ecosystem-level C stocks and annual fluxes along with disturbance
 history. This database currently contains 3,568 records from 845 plots in
 178 geographically distinct areas, making it the largest and most
 comprehensive database of its type. Using TropForC-db, we characterized C
 stocks and fluxes for young, intermediate-aged, and mature forests.
 Relative to existing C budgets of extra-tropical forests, mature tropical
 broadleaf evergreen forests had substantially higher gross primary
 productivity (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (Reco), their autotropic
 respiration (Ra) consumed a larger proportion (~67%) of GPP, and their
 woody stem growth (ANPPstem) represented a smaller proportion of net
 primary productivity (NPP, ~32%) or GPP (~9%). In regrowth stands,
 aboveground biomass increased rapidly during the first 20 years following
 stand-clearing disturbance, with slower accumulation following agriculture
 and in deciduous forests, and continued to accumulate at a slower pace in
 forests aged 20-100 years. Most other C stocks likewise increased with
 stand age, while potential to describe age trends in C fluxes was
 generally data-limited. We expect that TropForC-db will prove useful for
 model evaluation and for quantifying the contribution of forests to the
 global C cycle. The database version associated with this publication is
 archived in Dryad (DOI:10.5061/dryad.t516f) and a dynamic version is
 maintained at https://github.com/forc-db.

title: Data from: Subfamily-dependent alternative reproductive strategies in worker honey bees

description: Functional worker sterility is the defining feature of insect societies.
 Yet, workers are sometimes found reproducing in their own or foreign
 colonies. The proximate mechanisms underlying these alternative
 reproductive phenotypes are key to understanding how reproductive altruism
 and selfishness are balanced in eusocial insects. In this study we show
 that in honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies the social environment of a
 worker, i.e. the presence and relatedness of the queens in a worker’s
 natal colony and in surrounding colonies, significantly influences her
 fertility and drifting behaviour. Furthermore, subfamilies vary in the
 frequency of worker ovarian activation, propensity to drift, and the kind
 of host colony that is targeted for reproductive parasitism. Our results
 show that there is an interplay between a worker’s subfamily, reproductive
 state and social environment that substantially affects her reproductive
 phenotype. Our study further indicate that honey bee populations show
 substantial genetic variance for worker reproductive strategies,
 suggesting that no one strategy is optimal under all the circumstances
 that a typical worker may encounter.

 19 worksheets. Worksheet "Data" contains the raw data for all

title: Data from: Macro- and microgeographic genetic structure in an ant species with alternative reproductive tactics in sexuals

description: The genetic structure of social insect populations is influenced by their
 social organisation and dispersal modes. The ant Hypoponera opacior shows
 diverse reproductive behaviours with regular cycles of outbreeding via
 winged sexuals and inbreeding via within-nest mating wingless sexuals that
 reproduce by budding. This unusual life cycle should be reflected in the
 genetic population structure and we studied this on different scales using
 microsatellites. On a macrogeographic scale, populations were considerably
 structured and migration rates within the Chiricahuas were higher than
 those in-between mountain ranges. On a local scale, our analyses revealed
 population viscosity through dependant colony foundation and a high
 genetic diversity with a multi-colonial structure. The latter was also
 evident from recognition trials revealing consistent aggression between
 non-nestmates. Within-nest matings led to high inbreeding coefficients.
 Finally, the observed seasonal changes in relatedness can be explained by
 variation in queen number and differential dispersal of the two
 reproductive morphs.

title: Data from: Synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticle-decorated cobalt nanocomposites (Co@AgNPs) and their density-dependent antibacterial activity

description: Magnetic cores loaded with metallic nanoparticles can be promising
 nano-carriers for successful drug delivery at infectious sites. We report
 fabrication, characteristic analysis and in vitro antibacterial
 performance of nanocomposites comprising of cobalt cores (Co-cores)
 functionalized with varied concentration of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs).
 A two-step polyol process synchronized with transmetallation reduction
 method was used. Co-cores were synthesized by cobalt acetate and
 decoration of AgNPs was carried out by silver acetate. The density of
 AgNPs was varied by changing the amount of silver content as 0.01 g, 0.1g
 and 0.2 g in the synthesis solution. Both AgNPs and Co-cores were
 spherical in shape having size range of 30-80 nm and 200 nm to more than
 one micron respectively as determined by scanning electron microscopy. The
 metallic nature and face centred cubic crystalline phase of prepared
 nanocomposites were confirmed by x-ray diffraction. Biocompatibility
 analysis confirmed high cell viability of MCF7 at low concentrations of
 tested particles. The antibacterial performance of nanocomposites
 (Co@AgNPs) against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis was found to be
 AgNPs density dependent and nanocomposites with the highest AgNPs density
 exhibited the maximum bactericidal efficacy. We therefore, propose
 Co@AgNPs as effective drug-containers for various biomedical applications.

title: Data from: Antisocial punishment across societies

description: We document the widespread existence of antisocial punishment, that is,
 the sanctioning of people who behave prosocially. Our evidence comes from
 public goods experiments that we conducted in 16 comparable participant
 pools around the world. However, there is a huge cross-societal variation.
 Some participant pools punished the high contributors as much as they
 punished the low contributors, whereas in others people only punished low
 contributors. In some participant pools, antisocial punishment was strong
 enough to remove the cooperation-enhancing effect of punishment. We also
 show that weak norms of civic cooperation and the weakness of the rule of
 law in a country are significant predictors of antisocial punishment. Our
 results show that punishment opportunities are socially beneficial only if
 complemented by strong social norms of cooperation.

title: Data from: Screening primary-care patients forgoing health care for economic reasons

description: Background: Growing social inequities have made it important for general
 practitioners to verify if patients can afford treatment and procedures.
 Incorporating social conditions into clinical decision-making allows
 general practitioners to address mismatches between patients’ health-care
 needs and financial resources. Objectives: Identify a screening question
 to, indirectly, rule out patients’ social risk of forgoing health care for
 economic reasons, and estimate prevalence of forgoing health care and the
 influence of physicians’ attitudes toward deprivation. Design: Multicenter
 cross-sectional survey. Participants: Forty-seven general practitioners
 working in the French–speaking part of Switzerland enrolled a random
 sample of patients attending their private practices. Main Measures:
 Patients who had forgone health care were defined as those reporting a
 household member (including themselves) having forgone treatment for
 economic reasons during the previous 12 months, through a
 self-administered questionnaire. Patients were also asked about education
 and income levels, self-perceived social position, and deprivation levels.
 Key Results: Overall, 2,026 patients were included in the analysis; 10.7%
 (CI95% 9.4-12.1) reported a member of their household to have forgone
 health care during the 12 previous months. The question “Did you have
 difficulties paying your household bills during the last 12 months”
 performed better in identifying patients at risk of forgoing health care
 than a combination of four objective measures of socio-economic status
 (gender, age, education level, and income) (R2=0.184 vs. 0.083). This
 question effectively ruled out that patients had forgone health care, with
 a negative predictive value of 96%. Furthermore, for physicians who felt
 powerless in the face of deprivation, we observed an increase in the odds
 of patients forgoing health care of 1.5 times. Conclusion: General
 practitioners should systematically evaluate the socio-economic status of
 their patients. Asking patients whether they experience any difficulties
 in paying their bills is an effective means of identifying patients who
 might forgo health care.
