title: Data from: Plant defence responses to volatile alert signals are population-specific

description: Herbivore-induced volatiles are widespread in plants. They can serve as
 alert signals that enable neighbouring leaves and plants to pre-emptively
 increase defences and avoid herbivory damage. However, our understanding
 of the factors mediating volatile organic compound (VOC) signal
 interpretation by receiver plants and the degree to which multiple
 herbivores affect VOC signals is still limited. Here we investigated
 whether plant responses to damage-induced VOC signals were population
 specific. As a secondary goal, we tested for interference in signal
 production or reception when plants were subjected to multiple types of
 herbivore damage. We factorially crossed the population sources of paired
 Phaseolus lunatus plants (same versus different population sources) with a
 mechanical damage treatment to one member of the pair (i.e. the VOC
 emitter, damaged versus control), and we measured herbivore damage to the
 other plant (the VOC receiver) in the field. Prior to the experiment, both
 emitter and receiver plants were naturally colonized by aphids, enabling
 us to test the hypothesis that damage from sap-feeding herbivores
 interferes with VOC communication by including emitter and receiver aphid
 abundances as covariates in our analyses. One week after mechanical leaf
 damage, we removed all the emitter plants from the field and conducted
 fortnightly surveys of leaf herbivory. We found evidence that receiver
 plants responded using population-specific ‘dialects’ where only receivers
 from the same source population as the damaged emitters suffered less leaf
 damage upon exposure to the volatile signals. We also found that the
 abundance of aphids on both emitter and receiver plants did not alter this
 volatile signalling during both production and reception despite
 well-documented defence crosstalk within individual plants that are
 simultaneously attacked by multiple herbivores. Overall, these results
 show that plant communication is highly sensitive to genetic relatedness
 between emitter and receiver plants and that communication is resilient to
 herbivore co-infestation.

title: Data from: Hungry for the queen: honeybee nutritional environment affects worker pheromone response in a life stage‐dependent manner

description: 1.Animal nutritional state can profoundly affect behavior, including an
 individual's tendency to cooperate with others. We investigated how
 nutritional restriction at different life stages affects cooperative
 behavior in a highly social species, Apis mellifera honey bees. 2.We found
 that nutritional restriction affects a worker's queen pheromone
 response, a behavioral indicator of investment in group vs. individual
 reproduction. Nutritional restriction at the larval stage led to reduced
 ovary size and increased queen pheromone response, whereas nutritional
 restriction at the adult stage led to reduced lipid stores and reduced
 queen pheromone response. 3.We argue that these differences depend upon
 the extent of reproductive plasticity at these life stages, and that
 individual worker honey bees may adjust their behavioral and physiological
 traits in response to nutritional stress to invest nutritional resources
 in either their own or their colony's reproduction. 4.These results
 support the role of nutritional stress in the maintenance of cooperative
 behavior and we suggest that historical nutritional scarcity may be an
 important contributor to the evolution of extreme forms of cooperation.

title: Data from: Not every sperm counts: male fertility in solitary bees, Osmia cornuta

description: Reproductive strategies can act as strong selective forces on reproductive
 traits of male insects, resulting in species-specific variation in sperm
 quantity and viability. For solitary bees, basic measures of sperm
 quantity and viability are scarce. Here we evaluated for the first time
 quantity and viability of sperm in male Osmia cornuta solitary bees at
 different times after emergence, and how they were affected by male body
 mass and environmental condition (laboratory or semi-field arena). Sperm
 viability immediately after adult emergence showed no significant
 difference compared to four day old individuals, suggesting that O.
 cornuta males are capable of mating immediately post emergence. However,
 sperm counts were significantly higher in four day old individuals from
 the semi-field arena when compared to newly emerged males. This might
 reflect a final phase of sperm maturation. Regardless of individual male
 age and body mass differences, O. cornuta males produced on average
 175’000 spermatozoa that were 65% viable, which are both significantly
 lower compared to eusocial honeybees and bumblebees. Moreover, sperm
 quantity, but not viability, was positively correlated with male body mass
 four days after emergence, while no such relationship was detected
 immediately after emergence. Even though individuals maintained in
 semi-field conditions exhibited a significantly greater loss of body mass,
 experimental arena had no significant effect on male survival, sperm
 quality or total living sperm produced. This suggests that the proposed
 laboratory design provides a cost-efficient and simple experimental
 approach to assess sperm traits in solitary bees. In conclusion, our data
 suggest a reduced investment in both sperm quantity and quality by male O.
 cornuta, which appears to be adaptive in light of the life history of this
 solitary bee.

title: Data from: Female preference for novel males constrains contemporary evolution of assortative mating in guppies

description: Progress toward local adaptation is expected to be enhanced when divergent
 selection is multi-dimensional, because many simultaneous sources of
 selection can increase the total strength of selection and enhance the
 number of independent traits under selection. Yet, whether local
 adaptation ensues from multi-dimensional selection also depends on its
 potential to cause the build-up of reproductive barriers such as sexual
 signals and preference for these signals. We used replicate experimental
 introductions of guppies (Poecilia reticulata) in nature to test whether
 an abrupt and dramatic shift in multiple important ecological dimensions
 (at a minimum: parasitism, predation, and diet/resources) promoted the
 contemporary evolution of assortative mating. After 8-12 post-introduction
 guppy generations in the wild, we bred descendants of each population in a
 common-garden laboratory environment for two generations, after which we
 recorded the preferences of females from each population for males from
 each population. We found contemporary evolution of male traits (size,
 body condition, colour) that should influence mate choice, but no evidence
 for the occurrence of positive assortative preferences. That is, females
 in a given evolving population did not prefer males from that population
 over males from other populations. Instead, females tended to prefer novel
 males (i.e. disassortative mating), which likely acts as a mechanism
 preventing the evolution of reproductive isolation. Preferences for
 novelty may explain why many cases of local adaptation do not lead to the
 evolution of reproductive barriers and ecological speciation.

title: Data from: Antagonistic coevolution between quantitative and Mendelian traits

description: Coevolution is relentlessly creating and maintaining biodiversity, and
 therefore has been a central topic in evolutionary biology. Previous
 theoretical studies have mostly considered coevolution between genetically
 symmetric traits (i.e., coevolution between two continuous quantitative
 traits or two discrete Mendelian traits). However, recent empirical
 evidence indicates that coevolution can occur between genetically
 asymmetric traits (e.g., between quantitative and Mendelian traits). We
 examine consequences of antagonistic coevolution mediated by a
 quantitative predator trait and a Mendelian prey trait, such that
 predation is more intense with decreased phenotypic distance between their
 traits (phenotype matching). This antagonistic coevolution produces a
 complex pattern of bifurcations with bistability (initial state
 dependence) in a two-dimensional model for trait coevolution. Further,
 with eco-evolutionary dynamics (so that the trait evolution affects
 predator-prey population dynamics), we find that coevolution can cause
 rich dynamics including anti-phase cycles, in-phase cycles, chaotic
 dynamics, and deterministic predator extinction. Predator extinction is
 more likely to occur when the prey trait exhibits complete dominance
 rather than semidominance and when the predator trait evolves very
 rapidly. Our study illustrates how recognizing the genetic architectures
 of interacting ecological traits can be essential for understanding the
 population and evolutionary dynamics of coevolving species.

title: Data from: Ontogenetic thermal tolerance and performance of ectotherms at variable temperatures

description: Early experience and environmental conditions during ontogeny may effect
 organismal structure, physiology and fitness. Here, we assessed the effect
 of developmental acclimation to environmental thermal variability on
 walking speed in Drosophila melanogaster adults. Our results showed a
 shift in the performance curve to the right. Thus, upper and lower thermal
 limits exhibited developmental plasticity. Additionally, in constant and
 variable climatic scenarios, flies shifted to the right the optimum
 temperature but the maximum performance decreased only in flies reared on
 high temperatures and high thermal variability. Overall, we showed that
 environmental cues during ontogeny might help to construct phenotypic
 variation, which supports the hypothesis of ontogenetic dependence of
 thermal tolerances.

title: Data from: Do Bird Friendly® coffee criteria benefit mammals? Assessment of mammal diversity in Chiapas, Mexico

description: Biodiversity-friendly coffee certifications offer a viable way to protect
 wildlife habitat while providing a financial incentive to farmers. Most
 studies related to these certifications focus on avian habitat
 requirements and it is not known whether these standards also apply to
 other wildlife, such as mammals, that inhabit the coffee landscapes. We
 assessed the non-volant mammalian fauna and their associated habitat
 requirements in 23 sites representing forest, Bird Friendly® shade,
 conventional shade, and sun coffee habitats. We used Sherman trap-grids to
 measure small mammal abundance and richness, while camera traps were set
 for medium-sized and large mammals. We detected 17 species of mammals,
 representing 11 families. This preliminary study indicates that coffee
 farms in this region provide an important refuge for mammalian wildlife.
 Mammal species density ranked significantly higher in Bird Friendly®
 coffee sites than other coffee habitats, although there was no significant
 difference for species richness (using Chao2 estimator) among the habitat
 types. No significant difference was found in small mammal abundance among
 the habitat types. We found a higher species density of medium and large
 mammals in sites with larger, more mature shade trees associated with, but
 not required by Bird Friendly® certification standards. However, lower
 strata vegetation (5 cm to 1 m tall), the only vegetation parameter found
 to increase abundance and density for small mammals, is not specified in
 the Bird Friendly® standards. Our findings suggest that although the
 standards devised for avian habitat do benefit mammals, further study is
 needed on the requirements specific for mammals that could be included to
 enhance the coffee habitat for mammals that inhabit these coffee
 landscapes.

title: Data from: Getting to the heart of emotion regulation in youth: the role of interoceptive sensitivity, heart rate variability, and parental psychopathology

description: Emotion regulation and associated autonomic activation develop throughout
 childhood and adolescence under the influence of the family environment.
 Specifically, physiological indicators of autonomic nervous system
 activity such as interoceptive sensitivity and vagally mediated heart rate
 variability (HRV) can inform on emotion regulation. Although the effect of
 parental emotion socialization on emotion regulation appears to be
 influenced by autonomic processes, research on physiological regulation
 and the influence of parental factors remains scarce. This study
 investigated the relationship between self-reported habitual emotion
 regulation strategies and HRV at rest as well as interoceptive sensitivity
 in forty-six youngsters (27 female; age: M = 13.00, SD = 2.13). Secondly,
 the association between these autonomic correlates and parental
 psychopathology was also studied. Whereas better interoceptive sensitivity
 was related to reduced maladaptive emotion regulation, specifically
 rumination, high HRV was related to more use of external emotion
 regulation strategies (i.e., support seeking). In addition, increased HRV
 and decreased interoceptive sensitivity were associated with maternal
 internalizing and there was evidence for a possible mediation effect of
 HRV in the relationship between maternal internalizing and child external
 emotion regulation. This study elucidates the link between cognitive
 emotion regulation strategies and underlying physiological regulation in
 adolescents but also indicates a putative influence of maternal
 internalizing symptoms on emotion regulation in their offspring.

title: Data from: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities associated with two dominant species differ in their responses to long-term nitrogen addition in temperate grasslands

description: Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, are important components of grassland
 ecosystems and are sensitive to enhanced atmospheric nitrogen (N)
 deposition. Enhanced N deposition has been widely reported to reduce
 species richness and alter species composition across different types of
 grasslands worldwide. Despite extensive studies on effects of N deposition
 on AM fungal communities of grasslands, few studies have specifically
 focused on effects of N deposition on AM fungi associated with dominant
 species in grasslands. We investigated long-term (12-years) effects of N
 addition (80 kg ha−1 yr−1) on AM fungal community richness in roots and
 rhizosphere biomass of two dominant plant species (forb Artemisia frigida,
 grass Stipa krylovii) in temperate steppes of northern China. We found
 that AM fungi associated with the two dominant plant species differed in
 their responses to N addition. Nitrogen addition led to a significant
 reduction in AM fungal richness colonized in roots, and biomass in the
 rhizosphere of A. frigida, while N addition had little impacts on AM fungi
 colonized in roots and rhizosphere of S. krylovii. Nitrogen addition
 significantly reduced AM fungal colonization in roots and AM fungal spore
 density in the rhizosphere soils of A. frigida. In contrast, N addition
 had no effect on AM fungal colonization in roots and spore density in the
 rhizosphere of S. krylovii. Nitrogen addition markedly suppressed
 photosynthetic rates in A. frigida due to excessive foliar accumulation of
 manganese. The N-induced reduction in photosynthetic rates reduced
 allocation of C into roots in A. frigida, leading to a lower root/shoot
 ratio, and suppression of AM fungal community associated with A. frigida.
 The inhibition of AM fungi would render A. frigida less competitive in
 terms of acquisition of mineral nutrients in soils, thus contributing to
 its loss in the steppe community under conditions of elevated N
 deposition. These findings provide a mechanistic explanation for N-evoked
 differential responses of AM fungal communities associated with A. frigida
 and S. krylovii by linking soil properties and host plants to AM fungal
 communities.

title: Data from: Patterns of reproductive isolation in Nolana (Chilean Bellflower)

description: We examined reproductive isolating barriers at four postmating stages
 among 11 species from the morphologically diverse genus Nolana
 (Solanaceae). At least one stage was positively correlated with both
 genetic and geographic distance between species. Postzygotic isolation was
 generally stronger and faster evolving than postmating prezygotic
 isolation. In addition, there was no evidence for mechanical isolation or
 for reproductive character displacement in floral traits that can
 influence pollinator isolation. In general, among the potential isolating
 stages examined here, postzygotic barriers appear to be more effective
 contributors to reducing gene flow, including between sympatric species.

title: Data from: Tactic-specific differences in seminal fluid influence sperm performance

description: Seminal fluid often makes up a large part of an ejaculate, yet most
 empirical and theoretical studies on sperm competition have focused on how
 sperm characteristics (number and quality) affect fertilization success.
 However, seminal fluid influences own sperm performance and may
 potentially influence the outcome of sperm competition, by affecting also
 that of rivals. As a consequence males may be expected to allocate their
 investment in both sperm and seminal fluid in relation to the potential
 level of competition. Grass goby (Zosterisessor ophiocephalus) is an
 external fertilizer with guard-sneaker mating tactics, where sperm
 competition risk varies according to the tactic adopted. Here, we
 experimentally manipulated grass goby ejaculates by separately combining
 sperm and seminal fluid from territorial and sneaker males. While sperm of
 sneaker and territorial males did not differ in their performance when
 they interacted with their own seminal fluid only, sperm of sneakers
 increased their velocity and fertilization rate in presence of territorial
 males’ seminal fluid. In contrast, sneaker seminal fluid had a detrimental
 effect on the performance of territorial males' sperm. Sperm velocity
 was unaffected by the seminal fluid of males employing the same tactic,
 suggesting that seminal fluid's effect on rival-tactic sperm is not
 based on a self/non-self recognition mechanism. Our findings show that
 cross interactions of sperm and seminal fluid may influence the
 fertilization success of competing ejaculates with males investing in both
 sperm and seminal fluid in response to sperm competition risk.
