title: Data from: Loss of sweet taste despite the conservation of sweet receptor genes in insectivorous bats

description: The evolution of taste perception is usually associated with the ecology
 and dietary changes of organisms. However, mismatches between feeding
 ecology and taste receptor evolution have been identified in some
 vertebrate animals. One example is the sweet taste receptor gene Tas1r2.
 Previous analysis of partial sequences has revealed that Tas1r2 has
 undergone equally strong purifying selection between insectivorous and
 frugivorous bats. To test whether the sweet taste function is also
 important in bats with contrasting diets, we examined the complete coding
 sequences of both sweet taste receptor genes (Tas1r2 and Tas1r3) in 34
 representative bat species. Although these two genes are highly conserved
 between frugivorous and insectivorous bats at the sequence level, our
 behavioral experiments revealed that an insectivorous bat (Myotis
 ricketti) showed no preference for natural sugars, whereas the frugivorous
 species (Rousettus leschenaultii) showed strong preferences for sucrose
 and fructose. Furthermore, while both sweet taste receptor genes are
 expressed in the taste tissue of insectivorous and frugivorous bats, our
 cell-based assays revealed striking functional divergence: the sweet taste
 receptors of frugivorous bats are able to respond to natural sugars
 whereas those of insectivorous bats are not, which is consistent with the
 behavioral preference tests, suggesting that functional evolution of sweet
 taste receptors is closely related to diet. This comprehensive study
 suggests that using sequence conservation alone could be misleading in
 inferring protein and physiological function, and highlights the power of
 combining behavioral experiments, expression analysis, and functional
 assays in molecular evolutionary studies.

title: Data set showing the number of tail scars of North American and Eurasian beavers

description: Intraspecific competition plays an important role for territory
 acquisition and occupancy, in turn affecting individual fitness. Thus,
 understanding the drivers of intraspecific aggression can increase our
 understanding of population dynamics. Here, we investigated intraspecific
 aggression in Eurasian (Castor fiber) and North American (C. canadensis)
 beavers that are both monogamous, territorial mammals. Combined, we
 examined tail scars from &gt;1000 beavers (&gt;2000 capture
 events) as part of two long-term studies in Norway and the USA. We
 investigated the influence of landscape structure, population density,
 sex, age, and (for Eurasian beavers only) social status and group size on
 the number of tail scars caused by conspecifics. The number of tail scars
 was affected by population density in well-connected landscape types
 (large lakes and rivers), but not in more isolated areas (ponds), where
 individuals generally had fewer tail scars. Further, the relationship of
 population density was not linear. In the North American beaver population
 occurring in large lakes, intraspecific aggression increased with
 population density. Conversely, in the saturated Eurasian beaver
 population, intraspecific aggression was in a negative relationship with
 population density (except at the highest densities), likely due to
 inverse density-dependent intruder pressure via dispersers. Our findings
 emphasize that population density can affect intraspecific aggression
 depending on landscape structure, which might have important consequences
 for local patterns of dispersal, mate change and territory occupancy, all
 of which can affect population dynamics.

title: Data from: Annual and perennial Medicago show signatures of parallel adaptation to climate and soil in highly conserved genes

description: Human induced environmental change may require rapid adaptation of plant
 populations and crops, but the genomic basis of environmental adaptation
 remain poorly understood. We analyzed polymorphic loci from the perennial
 crop Medicago sativa (alfalfa or lucerne) and the annual legume model
 species M. truncatula to search for a common set of candidate genes that
 might contribute to adaptation to abiotic stress in both annual and
 perennial Medicago species. We identified a set of candidate genes of
 environmental adaptation associated with environmental gradients along the
 distribution of the two Medicago species. Candidate genes for each species
 were detected in homologous genomic linkage blocks using
 genome-environment (GEA) and genome-phenotype association analyses.
 Hundreds of GEA candidate genes were species-specific, of these, 13.4% (M.
 sativa) and 24% (M. truncatula) were also significantly associated with
 phenotypic traits. A set of 168 GEA candidates were shared by both
 species, which was 25.4% more than expected by chance. When combined, they
 explained a high proportion of variance for certain phenotypic traits
 associated with adaptation. Genes with highly conserved functions
 dominated among the shared candidates and were enriched in Gene Ontology
 terms that have shown to play a central role in drought avoidance and
 tolerance mechanisms by means of cellular shape modifications and other
 functions associated with cell homeostasis. Our results point to the
 existence of a molecular basis of adaptation to abiotic stress in Medicago
 determined by highly conserved genes and gene functions. We discuss these
 results in light of the recently proposed omnigenic model of complex
 traits.

title: Initiatives to monitor and manage biodiversity, and best practices in sustainable tourism in the Atlantic Forest Trail

description: Sustainability is a target that involves many socio-ecological questions
 and depends sometimes of opportunities and combine different initiatives.
 This can be especially difficult in regions with high biodiversity scores,
 mega cities and high level of human populations, and an intense and
 long-standing land use. Here we show how a mega trail, named Atlantic
 Forest Trail, within the Brazilian Atlantic Forest can join protection of
 biodiversity and sustainable tourism through a 4,270 km corridor
 connecting Protected Areas and crossing a variety of landscapes. Further,
 we show some initiatives of ongoing biodiversity monitoring, and an
 analysis of ecological restoration in private lands that can be applied in
 many regions to improve habitat connectivity for both biodiversity and
 human use.

title: Genetic structuring in Atlantic haddock contrasts with current management regimes

description: The advent of novel genetic methods has made it possible to investigate
 population structure and connectivity in mobile marine fish species:
 knowledge of which is essential to ensure a sustainable
 fishery. Haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) is a highly exploited
 marine teleost distributed along the coast and continental shelf on both
 sides of the North Atlantic Ocean. However, little is known about its
 population structure. Here, we present the first study using single
 nucleotide polymorphism markers to assess the genetic population structure
 of haddock at multiple geographic scales, from the transatlantic to the
 local (fjord) level. Genotyping 138 SNP loci in 1329 individuals from 19
 locations across the North Atlantic revealed three main genetic clusters,
 consisting of a Northwest Atlantic-, a Northeast Arctic- and a Northeast
 Atlantic cluster. We also observed a genetically distinct fjord population
 and a pattern of isolation-by-distance in the Northeast Atlantic. Our
 results contrast with the current management regime for this species in
 the Northeast Atlantic, as we found structure within some management
 areas. The study adds to the growing recognition of population structuring
 in marine organisms in general, and fishes in particular, and is of clear
 relevance for management of haddock in the Northeast Atlantic.

title: Meta-control in pigeons individual data

description: In situations where the two sides of the brain process contradicting
 information that leads to incompatible response options, the brain
 requires efficient conflict-solving mechanisms. Such conflicts can arise
 particularly in lateralized brains, in which the hemispheres differ in
 coding strategies or in focus of attention and hence, consider different
 information for decision-making. Meta-control, in which one hemisphere
 constantly dominates response selection independent from its processing
 competence, can be a mechanism, which minimizes interhemispheric
 interferences and ensures fast behavioral reactions. We therefore
 confronted pigeons with a task in which two stimulus classes were brought
 into conflict. In this situation, pigeons display individual meta-control
 despite equal categorization performances of both brain hemispheres. Thus,
 hemispheric dominance arises specifically in interhemispheric conflict
 situations. As a signature of the underlying neuronal mechanisms, analysis
 of response latencies indicate that conflict decisions rely on
 intrahemispheric processes. Interhemispheric components play a role for
 more complex decisions when the left and right hemispheres adopt
 differential analysis strategies for decision-making. Such a flexible use
 of different neural mechanisms could enable a dynamic recruitment of
 hemispherical-specific neuronal circuits depending on computational or
 environmental demands and could thus be a crucial building block for the
 evolutionary success of a lateralized brain.

title: Scripts for analyzing Paspalum vaginatum GBS data

description: Seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum Swartz) is a halophytic turfgrass
 and emerging genomic model system for the study of salt tolerance in
 cereals and other grasses. Despite recent interest and an increase in
 available tools, little is known about the diversity present in wild
 populations of P. vaginatum and its close relative P. distichum. Variation
 in ploidy, clonal propagation, hybridization, and subgenome composition
 appear to occur in the wild and may interact to influence geographic
 patterns of adaptation, particularly in response to environmental salinity
 levels. Using 218 accessions representing &gt;170 wild collections
 from throughout the coastal southern United States plus existing USDA
 germplasm, we employed genotyping-by-sequencing, cpDNA sequencing and flow
 cytometry to identify genetic differentiation and ploidy variation. Within
 P. vaginatum, there are two morphologically distinct ecotypes: the
 fine-textured ecotype is diploid and appears to reproduce in the wild both
 sexually and by clonal propagation; in contrast, the coarse-textured
 ecotype consists largely of clonally-propagating triploid and diploid
 genotypes. The coarse-textured ecotype appears to be derived from
 hybridization between fine-textured P. vaginatum and an unidentified
 Paspalum species. These clonally propagating hybrid genotypes are more
 broadly distributed than clonal fine-textured genotypes and may represent
 a transition to a more generalist adaptive strategy. The triploid
 genotypes vary in whether they carry one or two copies of the P. vaginatum
 subgenome, indicating multiple evolutionary origins. This variation in
 subgenome composition shows associations with local ocean salinity levels
 across the sampled populations and may play a role in local adaptation.
description: These scripts were used in the analysis of sequencing data in
 "Hybridization, polyploidy and clonality influence geographic
 patterns of diversity and salt tolerance in the model halophyte seashore
 paspalum (<i>Paspalum vaginatum</i>)" by Goad et. al
 2020. These are snapshots of the code exactly as it was run during that
 project.

title: Growth, stress and acclimation responses to fluctuating temperatures in field and domesticated populations of Manduca sexta

description: Diurnal fluctuations in temperature are ubiquitous in terrestrial
 environments, and insects and other ectotherms have evolved to tolerate or
 acclimate to such fluctuations. Few studies have examined whether
 ectotherms acclimate to diurnal temperature fluctuations, or how natural
 and domesticated populations differ in their responses to diurnal
 fluctuations. We examine how diurnally fluctuating temperatures during
 development affect growth, acclimation and stress responses for two
 populations of Manduca sexta: a field population that typically
 experiences wide variation in mean and fluctuations in temperature, and a
 laboratory population that has been domesticated in nearly constant
 temperatures for more than 300 generations. Laboratory experiments showed
 that diurnal fluctuations throughout larval development reduced pupal mass
 for the lab but not the field population. The differing effects of diurnal
 fluctuations were greatest at higher mean temperature (30 °C): here
 diurnal fluctuations reduced pupal mass and increased pupal development
 time for the lab population, but had little effect for the field
 population. We also evaluated how mean and fluctuations in temperature
 during early larval development affected growth rate during the final
 larval instar as a function of test temperature. At an intermediate (25
 °C) mean temperature, both the lab and field population showed a positive
 acclimation response to diurnal fluctuations, in which subsequent growth
 rate was significantly higher at most test temperatures. In contrast at
 higher mean temperature (30 °C), diurnal fluctuations significantly
 reduced subsequent growth rate at most test temperatures for the lab
 population, but not for the field population. These results suggest that
 during domestication in constant temperatures, the lab population has lost
 the capacity to tolerate or acclimate to high and fluctuating
 temperatures. Population differences in acclimation capacity in response
 to temperature fluctuations has not been previously demonstrated, but they
 may be important for understanding the evolution of reaction norms and
 performance curves. 
description: These two datasets for laboratory and field populations of
 Manduca sexta were collected as part of two experiments: 
 <i>Experiment 1: Effects of temperature regimes on thermal reaction
 norms for pupal life history traits; </i><i>Experiment 2:
 Effects of temperature regimes on later thermal performance curves for
 larval growth. </i>See associated paper for details on experimental
 methods and data processing. A separate dataset for each experiment is
 provided. Individuals that did not survive to pupation are excluded from
 dataset 1; individuals that did not achieve positive growth rate during
 the test trial were excluded from dataset 2 (see the paper).

title: Data from: The molecular phylogeny of Chionaster nivalis reveals a novel order of psychrophilic and globally distributed Tremellomycetes (Fungi, Basidiomycota)

description: Snow and ice present challenging substrates for cellular growth, yet
 microbial snow communities not only exist, but are diverse and
 ecologically impactful. These communities are dominated by green algae,
 but additional organisms, such as fungi, are also abundant and may be
 important for nutrient cycling, syntrophic interactions, and community
 structure in general. However, little is known about these non-algal
 community members, including their taxonomic affiliations. An example of
 this is Chionaster nivalis, a unicellular fungus that is morphologically
 enigmatic and frequently observed in snow communities globally. Despite
 being described over one hundred years ago, the phylogeny and higher-level
 taxonomic classifications of C. nivalis remain unknown. Here, we isolated
 and sequenced the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and the D1-D2 region
 of the large subunit ribosomal RNA gene of C. nivalis, providing a
 molecular barcode for future studies. Phylogenetic analyses using the ITS
 and D1-D2 region revealed that C. nivalis is part of a novel lineage in
 the class Tremelomycetes (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycotina) for which a new
 order, Chionasterales ord. nov. (MB838717), and family, Chionasteraceae
 fam. nov. (MB838718), are proposed. Comparisons between C. nivalis and
 sequences generated from environmental surveys revealed that the
 Chionasterales are globally distributed and probably psychrophilic, as
 they appear to be limited to the high alpine and arctic regions. These
 results highlight the unexplored diversity that exists within these
 extreme habitats and emphasize the utility of single-cell approaches in
 characterizing these complex algal-dominated communities.

title: Thalamic encoding of lexical status is lateralized during reading aloud

description: To explore whether the thalamus participates in lexical status encoding,
 local field potentials were recorded in patients undergoing deep brain
 stimulation lead implantation while they read aloud single-syllable words
 and nonwords. Bilateral decreases in thalamic beta (12-30Hz) activity were
 preferentially locked to stimulus presentation, and these decreases were
 greater when nonwords were read. Increased broadband gamma (70-150Hz)
 activity also was locked preferentially to speech onset bilaterally, but
 greater nonword-related increases in this activity were observed only on
 the left, demonstrating lateralization of thalamic broadband gamma
 selectivity for lexical status. In addition, this lexical status effect
 was strongest in more anterior thalamic locations, regions which are more
 likely to receive pallidal than cerebellar afferents. These results
 provide evidence from intracranial thalamic recordings for the
 lateralization and topography of subcortical lexical status processing.
