title: Data from: An environmental habitat gradient and within-habitat segregation enable co-existence of ecologically similar bird species

description: Niche theory predicts that ecologically similar species can co-exist
 through multidimensional niche partitioning. However, due to the
 challenges of accounting for both abiotic and biotic processes in
 ecological niche modelling, the underlying mechanisms that facilitate
 co-existence of competing species are poorly understood. In this study, we
 evaluated potential mechanisms underlying the co-existence of ecologically
 similar bird species in a biodiversity-rich transboundary montane forest
 in east-central Africa by computing niche overlap indices along an
 environmental elevation gradient, diet, forest strata, activity patterns,
 and within-habitat segregation across horizontal space. We found strong
 support for abiotic environmental habitat niche partitioning, with 55% of
 species pairs having separate elevation niches. For the remaining species
 pairs that exhibited similar elevation niches, we found that
 within-habitat segregation across horizontal space and to a lesser extent
 vertical forest strata provided the most likely mechanisms of species
 co-existence. Co-existence of ecologically similar species within a highly
 diverse montane forest was determined primarily by abiotic factors (e.g.,
 environmental elevation gradient) that characterize the Grinnellian niche
 and secondarily by biotic factors (e.g., vertical and horizontal
 segregation within habitats) that describe the Eltonian niche. Thus,
 partitioning across multiple levels of spatial organization is a key
 mechanism of co-existence in diverse communities.

title: Integrating Ecosystem Services into a Prioritization Model for Surf Protected Areas

description: This project evaluated potential and priority locations for the
 establishment of Surf Protected Areas (SPAs) along the entire coastline of
 Brazil. To conduct this assessment, we 1) assessed the quality of
 Brazilian surf breaks using the established Surf Conservation Index (SCI)
 developed by the Save the Waves, a member of the Surf Conservation
 Partnership (SCP), and 2) expanded the SCI with the addition of two key
 ecosystem service assessments for mangrove carbon storage and coastal
 protection. This assessment created a list of top surf spots for priority
 conservation based on a ranking system including aspects such as wave
 quality, biodiversity, social, and economic significance. The addition of
 the ecosystem service assessment suggests that surf ecosystems in Brazil
 provide significant carbon storage and coastal protection and changed
 which sites were considered the highest priority for conservation. This
 result has significant implications for the management of surf resources.
 Additionally, we conducted a review of existing surf conservation projects
 to distill good practices in the field of surf conservation and
 management. Surfing will likely continue to be leveraged as a vehicle for
 conservation in the future; understanding broader implications of this
 work and developing clear guidelines is key for scaling up programs like
 the SCP. 
description: For this project, we completed a Surf Conservation Index study to help the Surf Conservation Partnership prioritize surf breaks in Brazil for conservation. The Surf Conservation Partnership seeks to protect breaks that have low anthropogenic pressure, high biodiversity, high quality surf, high reliance on surf tourism, and existing environmental protections in place. We used a Pressure-State-Response framework to analyze many publicly available spatial data sets and give each surf break a score that quantifies its conservation priority. We also added a Climate Index to the Surf Conservation Index, which estimates the amount of two ecosystem services provided by each break, specifically mangrove carbon storage and coastal protection provided by natural habitats. To assess mangrove carbon storage, we combined a raster of aboveground mangrove biomass with a raster of mangrove soil organic carbon and estimated belowground biomass as a fraction of aboveground biomass to produce an estimate of total carbon storage for each raster cell of mangrove forest. To assess coastal protection, we used the InVEST Coastal Vulnerability model which utilizes many different geophysical data to calculate the exposure of shorepoints along the coast and determine the role of natural habitats in reducing that exposure. These ecosystem service assessments helped further prioritize breaks that provide these services along with all other considerations in the Surf Conservation Index.

title: Data from: Differential early-life survival underlies the adaptive significance of temperature-dependent sex determination in a long-lived reptile

description: Many ectotherms rely on temperature cues experienced during development to
 determine offspring sex. The first descriptions of temperature-dependent
 sex determination (TSD) were made over 50 years ago, yet an understanding
 of its adaptive significance remains elusive, especially in long-lived
 taxa. One novel hypothesis predicts that TSD should be evolutionarily
 favored when two criteria are met – (a) incubation temperature influences
 annual juvenile survival and (b) sexes mature at different ages. Under
 these conditions, a sex-dependent effect of incubation temperature on
 offspring fitness arises through differences in age at sexual maturity,
 with the sex that matures later benefiting disproportionately from
 temperatures that promote juvenile survival.  The American
 alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) serves as an insightful model in
 which to test this hypothesis, as males begin reproducing nearly a decade
 after females. Here, through a combination of artificial incubation
 experiments and mark-recapture approaches, we test the specific
 predictions of the survival-to-maturity hypothesis for the adaptive value
 of TSD by disentangling the effects of incubation temperature and sex on
 annual survival of alligator hatchlings across two geographically distinct
 sites.  Hatchlings incubated at male-promoting
 temperatures consistently exhibited higher survival compared to those
 incubated at female-promoting temperatures. This pattern appears
 independent of hatchling sex, as females produced from hormone
 manipulation at male-promoting temperatures exhibit similar survival to
 their male counterparts. Additional experiments show that
 incubation temperature may affect early-life survival primarily by
 affecting the efficiency with which maternally transferred energy
 resources are used during development. Results from this study
 provide the first explicit empirical support for the adaptive value of TSD
 in a crocodilian and point to developmental energetics as a potential
 unifying mechanism underlying persistent survival consequences of
 incubation temperature.

title: Data from: Niche conservatism over deep timescales and diverse niche axes in land vertebrates

description: Aim: There has been considerable interest in niche conservatism, the idea
 that ecological variables are similar among related species. Much research
 has focused on climatic niches of recently diverged species, rather than
 deeper timescales or non-climatic niche axes. Furthermore, it has been
 suggested that conservatism disappears over deeper timescales, and is
 greater in alpha niche traits (like diet and microhabitat) than beta niche
 variables (like climate). Here, we test these two ideas by comparing
 patterns of phylogenetic conservatism among 10 niche variables across
 major clades of land vertebrates. Location: Global. Time period: Present
 to 350 million years ago. Major taxa studied: Tetrapods, including
 amphibians, mammals, lepidosaurs (including lizards and snakes), turtles,
 crocodilians, and birds. Methods: The 10 niche variables included four
 alpha niche components (diet, diel activity, habitat, body temperature)
 and six beta niche components (related to climatic temperature and
 precipitation). We analyzed these variables on time-calibrated phylogenies
 with similar taxon sampling (~1700 species), using phylogenetic signal
 (lambda) to estimate conservatism, along with the D-statistic and
 estimates of evolutionary rates. Results: Phylogenetic signal was
 generally strong across all variables, with lambda generally &gt;0.80
 (with 1.0 representing maximum signal). Nevertheless, mean phylogenetic
 signal was lower in beta niche traits than alpha niche traits (based on
 lambda and especially the D-statistic), and alpha niche traits showed
 significantly slower rates of evolution. Main conclusions: We address two
 long-held views in the literature on niche conservatism, rejecting one but
 supporting the other. We show that phylogenetic signal does not disappear
 over deep timescales for many important niche variables, even over 350
 million years. We also generally support greater conservatism in alpha
 niche traits than beta niche traits over hundreds over millions of years,
 a pattern that was previously suggested (but not explicitly tested) based
 on closely related species.

title: Putting down roots: afforestation and bank cohesion of Icelandic rivers

description: Riparian vegetation is widely recognized as a critical component of
 functioning fluvial systems. Human pressures on woody vegetation including
 riparian areas, especially at high latitude, have had lasting effects. In
 Iceland, prior to human settlement, native downy birch woodlands covered
 approximately 15–40% of the land area compared to 1–2% today.
 Afforestation efforts include planting seedlings, protecting native forest
 remnants, and acquiring land areas as national forests. The planted and
 protected nature of vegetation along rivers within some forests provides a
 unique opportunity to evaluate the various taxa within riparian zones and
 the channel stabilizing characteristics of the vegetation used in
 afforestation. We investigated bank properties, sediment textures, and
 root characteristics within riparian zones along four rivers in forests in
 Iceland. Bank sediment textures are dominantly sandy loam overlying
 coarser textures. Undercut banks are common because of erosion of the less
 cohesive subsurface layer. Quantitative root data indicate that the woody
 taxa have greater root densities, rooting depths, and more complex root
 structures than forbs or graminoids. The native downy birch has the
 highest root densities, with &lt;1 mm roots most abundant. Modeling of
 added bank cohesion indicates that willow provides up to 6 times and birch
 up to 4 times more added cohesion to the coarse sediment textures
 comprising stream banks compared to no vegetation. We conclude that
 planting and protecting the native birch and willow helps to reduce bank
 erosion, especially where long-term grazing exclusion can be maintained.
description: Data were collected at a vertical face of the river bank within a
 0.6 m x 0.6 m vegetation grid with 0.1 m x 0.1 m openings. Digital
 calipers were used to measure roots and classify them into six size
 categories.

title: Code to track coupled orbital-rotational evolution of a planet and satellite

description: The large Kuiper Belt Object Eris is tidally locked to its small companion
 Dysnomia. Recently obtained bounds on the mass of Dysnomia demonstrate
 that Eris must be unexpectedly dissipative in order for it to have despun
 over the age of the solar system. Here we show that Eris must have
 differentiated into an ice shell and rocky core in order to explain the
 dissipation. We further demonstrate that Eris's ice shell must be
 convecting to be sufficiently dissipative, which distinguishes it from
 Pluto's conductive shell. The difference is likely due to Eris's
 apparent depletion in volatiles compared with Pluto, perhaps as the result
 of a more energetic impact.
description: This is a code which can be used to reproduce Figs 1 and 2 in the
 main text. Figure 1 plots the evolution of the spin and
 orbital periods of the primary and secondary as a function of distance. It
 also plots the log of Q/k<sub>2</sub> for the primary. Figure
 2 plots Q/k<sub>2</sub> against the tidal forcing period. The
 data required to produce these plots are output as a textfile by the code.
 The caption of Figure 1 reads: "Evolution of Dysnomia’s orbital
 period and Eris’s spin period. We use the methodology of ref. 21 and
 assume Eris’s <em>Q</em> varies linearly with forcing
 frequency. The initial separation is
 7<em>R<sub>p</sub></em> and Dysnomia is assumed
 synchronous throughout, with a mass ratio of 0.084. Crosses are at
 intervals of 200 Myr. The primary
 <em>k<sub>2</sub></em> is 0.12 and the
 <em>Q</em> is 760 for a forcing period of 165 h. Other
 parameter values are given in Table 1."

title: CMT1A-BioStampNPoint2023: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A accelerometry dataset from three wearable sensor study

description: The CMT1A-BioStampNPoint2023 dataset provides data from a wearable sensor
 accelerometry study conducted for studying gait, balance, and activity in
 15 individuals with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease Type 1A (CMT1A). In
 addition to individuals with CMT1A, the dataset also includes data for 15
 controls that also went through the same in-clinic study protocol as the
 CMT1A participants with a substantial fraction (9) of the controls also
 participating in the in-home study protocol. For the CMT1A participants,
 data is provided for 15 participants for the baseline visit and associated
 home recording duration and, additionally, for a subset of 12 of these
 participants data is also provided for a 12-month longitudinal visit and
 associated home recording duration. For controls, no longitudinal data is
 provided as none was recorded. The data were acquired using lightweight MC
 10 BioStamp NPoint sensors (MC 10 Inc, Lexington, MA), three of which were
 attached to each participant for gathering data over a roughly one day
 interval. For additional details, see the description in the
 "README.md" included with the dataset.
description: The dataset contains data from wearable sensors and clinical
 data. The wearable sensor data was acquired using wearable sensors and the
 clinical data was extracted from the clinical record. The sensor data has
 not been processed per-se but the start of the recording time has been
 anonymized to comply with HIPPA requirements. Both the sensor data and the
 clinical data passed through a Python program for the aforementioned time
 anonymization and for standard formatting. Additional details of the time
 anonymization are provided in the file "README.md" included with
 the dataset.

title: Data from: Hiding among colors: Background color diversity impedes detection time

description: Avoiding detection is vital for the survival of many animals. Factors
 extrinsic to animals, such as the visual complexity of the background,
 have been shown to impede the detection of animals. Studies using
 artificial and natural backgrounds have attributed background complexity
 to various visual features of the background. One feature that has
 received less attention is the diversity of color (hue) in the background.
 We used chickens and artificial backgrounds containing perceptually
 distinct elements in experiments to test whether color and luminance
 diversity affect detection time. We found that color diversity in the
 background impeded detection, while color diversity in prey and luminance
 diversity in the background did not impede detection. We also did not find
 an effect of luminance contrast on detection time. Our study suggests a
 prey animal can benefit in terms of increased detection times by predators
 when resting on backgrounds with enhanced color diversity.

title: Beetle Team Tribolium Data Archive

description: The Beetle Team Tribolium Data Archive is a collection of 10 data sets
 created and/or analyzed over a 20-year period by a multidisciplinary group
 of collaborators, the “Beetle Team” (Jim Cushing, R. F. Costantino, Brian
 Dennis, Robert A. Desharnais, Shandelle M. Henson, Aaron A. King, and
 Jeffrey Edmunds). The data are from population laboratory experiments
 using the flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. Their research program was
 focused on providing biological evidence of complex nonlinear population
 dynamics.
description: The data are from biweekly censuses
 of laboratory cultures of the flour beetle <em>Tribolium
 castaneum</em>. The data are organized into three life stages: (1)
 the “L-stage” which are feeding larvae, (2) the “P-stage” which consists
 of immobile pre-pupae, pupae, and callow adults, and (3) the “A-stage”
 which are mature adults. Each population census forms an LPA
 triplet.
description: The data archive is contained in a single Excel<em>
 </em>workbook, with a separate worksheet for each data
 set.

title: A quantitative assessment of ontogeny and moulting in a Cambrian radiodont and the evolution of arthropod development

description: Radiodonta is a clade of stem euarthropods of central importance to our
 understanding of the evolution of this phylum. Radiodonts include some of
 the largest early Paleozoic animals, however little is known about their
 ontogeny. We present an analysis of moulting patterns and ontogeny in the
 radiodont Stanleycaris based on 263 exceptionally preserved specimens from
 the mid-Cambrian (Wuliuan) Burgess Shale. Ranging in size from 10 to 83mm,
 this constitutes the most extensive radiodont ontogenetic series known.
 Using a novel morphospace approach, we show that putative carcasses and
 exuviae can be quantitatively distinguished by the particular suites of
 structures preserved and their modes of preservation. We propose that
 Stanleycaris, and probably other radiodonts, moulted via a suture near the
 anterior of the trunk. Similar anterior moulting strategies, with a suture
 located at the head-trunk boundary, are shared with some Cambrian
 euarthropods and are potentially ancestral. Allometric analyses suggest
 that as Stanleycaris body size increases, the head sclerite and neck
 become relatively broader, while the trunk and flaps become slightly
 longer. The eyes developed precociously indicating an important role of
 visual processing in juveniles. Finally, we find evidence for an initial
 anamorphic developmental phase, where segment number increases at least
 from 11 or 12 up to 17, followed by an epimorphic phase, in which growth
 continued without segment addition. This is consistent with the hypothesis
 that finite post-embryonic segment addition (hemianamorphosis) is
 ancestral for arthropods and refines the timing of the origin of this
 important developmental mode.
