title: Data from: Phylogenetic diversity correlated with aboveground biomass production during forest succession: evidence from tropical forests in Southeast Asia

description: Enhancing knowledge on the role of evolutionary history during forest
 succession and its relationship with ecosystem function is particularly
 relevant in the context of forest landscape restoration for climate change
 mitigation and adaptation. We used fine-resolution vegetation and
 environmental data (soil, elevation and slope) from two large-scale
 surveys (320 x 1000 m2 plots in two 10 km x 10 km blocks) in the Upper
 Mekong to quantify (1) the role of abiotic and biotic (species
 interactions) factors in community assembly processes and (2) the effect
 of biodiversity, environmental factors and forest succession on
 aboveground biomass (AGB). We found strong correlation between soil
 fertility and community structure in the early successional seres, while
 species interactions played an increasingly important role in older seres,
 presumably due to species complementary. We detected a significant
 relationship between AGB and phylogenetic diversity, elevation and soil
 fertility across successional gradients. Within successional stages, soil
 fertility was not significantly associated with AGB, while elevation was
 significantly associated with AGB only in forest &lt;100 years old.
 Phylogenetic diversity was positively correlated with AGB in the young
 secondary forest (&lt; 15 years old) but not significantly associated
 with AGB in older seres.  Synthesis: Our results support the
 hypothesis that abiotic filtering influences species assembly in the
 initial stages of forest succession, while biotic interactions dominate
 community assembly processes in older seres. We found that phylogenetic
 diversity, soil fertility and elevation gradients were strongly predictive
 of AGB in a secondary tropical montane forest in Southeast Asia. However,
 elevation may reflect other underlying abiotic gradients, such as water
 availability. Phylogenetic diversity was significantly associated with AGB
 only in youngest seres (&lt;15 years old). Considering phylogenetic
 diversity in restoration plantings and the management of forests younger
 than 15 years old could enhance forest biomass and the climate mitigation
 function forest landscape restoration.

title: Data from: Color polarization vision mediates the strength of an evolutionary trap

description: Evolutionary traps are scenarios in which animals are fooled by rapidly
 changing conditions into preferring poor-quality resources over those that
 better improve survival and reproductive success. The maladaptive
 attraction of aquatic insects to artificial sources of horizontally
 polarized light (e.g. glass buildings, asphalt roads) has become a first
 model system by which scientists can investigate the behavioral mechanisms
 that cause traps to occur. We employ this field-based system to
 experimentally investigate 1) in which portion(s) of the spectrum are
 polarizationally water-imitating reflectors attractive to nocturnal
 terrestrial and aquatics insects, and 2) which modern lamp types result in
 greater attraction in this typical kind of nocturnal polarized light
 pollution. We found that most aquatic taxa exhibited preferences for lamps
 based upon their color spectra, most having lowest preference for lamps
 emitting blue and red light. Yet despite previously established preference
 for higher degrees of polarization of reflected light, most aquatic insect
 families were attracted to traps based upon their unpolarized spectrum.
 Chironomid midges, alone, showed a preference for the color of lamplight
 in both the horizontally polarized and unpolarized spectra indicating only
 this family has evolved to use light in this color range as a source of
 information to guide its nocturnal habitat selection. These results
 demonstrate that the color of artificial lighting can exacerbate or reduce
 its attractiveness to aquatic insects, but that the strength of
 attractiveness of nocturnal evolutionary traps, and so their demographic
 consequences, are primarily driven by unpolarized light pollution. This
 focuses management attention on limiting broad-spectrum light pollution,
 as well as its intentional deployment to attract insects back to natural
 habitats.
description: Aquatic insect captures
 in relation to color and polarization of lightWe captured aquatic
 insects in oil-filled trays in 6 treatments. They were composed of lamps
 of three different spectra (blue-red LED, High-pressure sodium,
 metal-halide) that were polarized or left unpolarized by reflection with
 an oil-filled tray. Aerial terrrestrial and aquatic insects were captured

title: Biosecurity Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices in Carp Hatcheries and Nurseries in Bangladesh

description: Biosecurity is essential for producing healthy fish seed, yet its adoption in carp hatcheries and nurseries in Bangladesh remains uneven. This study documents the implementation of a baseline survey assessing biosecurity-related knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) among hatchery and nursery operators. Data were collected through structured interviews and facility observations, covering hatchery characteristics, water sources, broodstock and seed management, disease risk perception, routine biosecurity and management practices, record keeping, constraints to adoption, training needs, and perceptions of regulatory support. The dataset provides a rich foundation for future analysis to identify gaps in biosecurity awareness and implementation and to inform capacity-building, technical assistance, and policy interventions aimed at improving fish seed quality, aquaculture productivity, and system resilience in Bangladesh.

title: Data from: Genetic and morphological variation in sexual and asexual parasitoids of the genus Lysiphlebus: an apparent link between wing shape and reproductive mode

description: Background Endoparasitoids of aphids belonging to the genus Lysiphlebus
 Foerster (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) comprise over 20 species
 that exploit over a hundred species of aphid hosts including many
 important pest aphid species. Within the genus Lysiphlebus two genetically
 and morphologically well defined species groups are recognized: the
 "fabarum" and the "testaceipes" group both including
 taxa with sexual (arrhenotoky) and asexual (thelytoky) reproduction modes.
 However the diverse patterns of morphological variation which include
 clearly distinguishable morphotypes and genetic variation within species
 groups are not yet resolved. To address the relationship between
 morphological evolution and genetic divergence in Lysiphlebus wasps we
 explored both genetic differentiation (mitochondrial and nuclear gene
 sequences) and morphological variation (wing size and shape) and the
 changes in wing size and shape in the phylogenetic context. Results and
 Discussion Analyses of mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences determine
 the separation of the genus into two species groups
 ("testaceipes" and "fabarum" groups) revealed three
 well defined phylogenetic lineages within "fabarum" species
 group including yet undefined species. Mapping wing shape data onto
 molecular phylogenetic indicated that the concordance between genetic
 diversification and divergence in the wing shape results from the deep
 split between two main species group. No association between pattern of
 genetic diversification morphotypes and wing shape variation within
 species groups was observed. The clear association between wing shape and
 reproductive mode was the most surprising result of our study. We propose
 two possible mutually non-exclusive mechanisms which may explain the link
 between reproductive mode and the shape of the wing Conclusions Combining
 molecular analysis with analysis of wing shape allows us determining
 existence of one cryptic yet undescribed species. At the same time we
 determine that Lysiphlebus fabarum group need detailed taxonomic revision
 because species boundaries as defined cannot be upheld. Mapping wing shape
 onto independently derived molecular phylogeny revealed that deep genetic
 divergence is associated with evolutionary changes in wing shape of
 Lysiphlebus wasps. Among most recently diverged taxa the morphological
 variation in the wing shape can be explained by the reproduction mode.

title: Data from: High reproducibility of adenosine stress cardiac magnetic resonance myocardial perfusion imaging in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy

description: Objective: To evaluate the reproducibility of first-pass contrast-enhanced
 cardiac MR (CMR) myocardial perfusion imaging in patients with
 non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM). Design: Prospective
 observational study. Setting: Single centre, tertiary care hospital.
 Participants: 6 outpatient participants with NIDCM. Outcome:
 Reproducibility of semiquantitative myocardial perfusion analysis by CMR.
 Method: 6 patients with NIDCM were studied twice using first-pass of
 contrast transit through the left ventricular (LV) myocardium with a
 saturation-recovery gradient echo sequence at rest and during
 adenosine-induced hyperaemia. The anterior wall was divided into
 endocardial (Endo) and epicardial (Epi) segments. The Myocardial Perfusion
 Index (MPI) was calculated as the myocardial signal augmentation rate
 normalised to the LV cavity rate. The Myocardial Perfusion Reserve Index
 (MPRI) was calculated as hyperaemic/resting MPI. Results: Between study 1
 and 2, median MPI was similar for resting Endo (0.076 vs 0.077),
 hyperaemic Endo (0.143 vs 0.143), resting Epi (0.073 vs 0.074), and
 hyperaemic Epi (0.135 vs 0.134). Median MPRI was similar for Endo (1.84 vs
 1.87) and Epi (1.90 vs 2.00). Combining Endo and Epi MPI (N=12), there was
 excellent agreement between Study 1 and 2 for resting MPI (r=0.998,
 intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) 0.998, coefficients of variation
 (CoV) 1.4%), hyperaemic MPI (r=0.979, ICC 0.963, CoV 3.3%) and MPRI
 (r=0.989, ICC 0.94, CoV 3.8%). Conclusions: Resting and hyperaemic
 myocardial perfusion using a normalised upslope analysis during adenosine
 CMR is a highly reproducible technique in patients with NIDCM. Trial

title: Data from: Thermal quality influences habitat use of two anole species

description: Regeneration of secondary forests on previously deforested or degraded
 land is one of the most dominant forms of land-use change in the tropics.
 However, the response of animal communities to forest regeneration is
 poorly understood. To evaluate support for thermal quality as a mechanism
 driving reptile species distributions during secondary forest succession,
 we measured operative temperatures and occupancy in three successional
 forest stages (pasture, secondary forest, and old growth forest) for two
 anole species common in the landscape (Norops humilis and Norops
 limifrons). We then measured thermal preference in laboratory experiments
 and used operative temperature and temperature preference measurements to
 determine how thermal quality of habitat changes over the course of
 secondary forest succession, and if occupancy varies as a function of
 thermal quality. We found that thermal quality was lowest in pasture
 habitat because of a large frequency of temperatures above the thermal
 preference range. However, in low thermal quality pasture sites, riparian
 habitats and remnant trees provided a thermal refuge for both lizard
 species. Our results support thermal quality as a mechanism for reptile
 species distributions in altered landscapes and highlight the importance
 of the maintenance of riparian corridors.

title: Data from: Who needs 'lazy' workers? Inactive workers act as a 'reserve' labor force replacing active workers, but inactive workers are not replaced when they are removed

description: Social insect colonies are highly successful, self-organized complex
 systems. Surprisingly however, most social insect colonies contain large
 numbers of highly inactive workers. Although this may seem inefficient, it
 may be that inactive workers actually contribute to colony function.
 Indeed, the most commonly proposed explanation for inactive workers is
 that they form a ‘reserve’ labor force that becomes active when needed,
 thus helping mitigate the effects of colony workload fluctuations or
 worker loss. Thus, it may be that inactive workers facilitate colony
 flexibility and resilience. However, this idea has not been empirically
 confirmed. Here we test whether colonies of Temnothorax rugatulus ants
 replace highly active (spending large proportions of time on specific
 tasks) or highly inactive (spending large proportions of time completely
 immobile) workers when they are experimentally removed. We show that
 colonies maintained pre-removal activity levels even after active workers
 were removed, and that previously inactive workers became active
 subsequent to the removal of active workers. Conversely, when inactive
 workers were removed, inactivity levels decreased and remained lower
 post-removal. Thus, colonies seem to have mechanisms for maintaining a
 certain number of active workers, but not a set number of inactive
 workers. The rapid replacement (within 1 week) of active workers suggests
 that the tasks they perform, mainly foraging and brood care, are necessary
 for colony function on short timescales. Conversely, the lack of
 replacement of inactive workers even 2 weeks after their removal suggests
 that any potential functions they have, including being a ‘reserve’, are
 less important, or auxiliary, and do not need immediate recovery. Thus,
 inactive workers act as a reserve labor force and may still play a role as
 food stores for the colony, but a role in facilitating colony-wide
 communication is unlikely. Our results are consistent with the often
 cited, but never yet empirically supported hypothesis that inactive
 workers act as a pool of ‘reserve’ labor that may allow colonies to
 quickly take advantage of novel resources and to mitigate worker loss.

title: Data from: Retracing the routes of introduction of invasive species: the case of the Sirex noctilio woodwasp.

description: Understanding the evolutionary histories of invasive species is critical
 to adopt appropriate management strategies, but this process can be
 exceedingly complex to unravel. As illustrated in this study of the
 worldwide invasion of the woodwasp Sirex noctilio, population genetic
 analyses using coalescent-based scenario testing together with Bayesian
 clustering and historical records provide opportunities to address this
 problem. The pest spread from its native Eurasian range to the Southern
 Hemisphere in the 1900’s and recently to Northern America, where it poses
 economic and potentially ecological threats to planted and native Pinus
 spp. To investigate the origins and pathways of invasion, samples from
 five continents were analysed using microsatellites and sequence data.
 Surprisingly, clustering analyses revealed two gene pools. Scenario
 testing showed independent introductions from an unsampled source,
 putative source of the second gene pool. The invasion history was much
 more complex than previously believed, with most of the populations being
 admixtures resulting from independent introductions from Europe and
 subsequent spread among the invaded areas. Results also shed light on the
 micro-evolutionary processes occurring during introductions, and showed
 that only few specimens gave rise to some of the populations. Analyses of
 microsatellites using clustering and scenario testing considered against
 historical data drastically altered our understanding of the invasion
 history of S. noctilio and will have important implications for the
 strategies employed to fight its spread. This study illustrates the value
 of combining clustering and ABC methods in a comprehensive framework to
 dissect the complex patterns of spread of global invaders.

title: Data from: Quantifying nutritional trade-offs across multidimensional performance landscapes

description: Animals make feeding decisions to simultaneously maximise fitness traits
 that often require different nutrients. Recent quantitative methods have
 been developed to characterise these nutritional trade-offs from
 performance landscapes on which traits are mapped on a nutrient space
 defined by two nutrients. This limitation constrains the broad
 applications of previous methods to more complex data, and a generalised
 framework is needed. Here, we build upon previous methods and introduce a
 generalised vector-based approach – the Vector of Position approach – to
 study nutritional trade-offs in complex multi-dimensional spaces. The
 Vector of Position Approach allows the estimate of performance variations
 across entire landscapes (peaks and valleys), and compare these variations
 between animals. Using landmark published datasets on lifespan and
 reproduction landscapes, we illustrate how our approach gives accurate
 quantifications of nutritional trade-offs in two- and three-dimensional
 spaces, and can bring new insights into the underlying nutritional
 differences in trait expression between species. The Vector of Position
 Approach provides a generalised framework for investigating nutritional
 differences in life-history traits expression within and between species,
 an essential step for the development of comparative research on the
 evolution of animal nutritional strategies.

title: Data from: Carotenoid-dependent signals and the evolution of plasma carotenoid levels in birds

description: Sexual selection has resulted in a wide array of ornaments used in mate
 choice, and such indicator traits signal quality honestly when they bear
 costs, precluding cheating. Carotenoid-dependent coloration has attracted
 considerable attention in this context, because investing carotenoids in
 coloration has to be traded off against its physiological functions;
 carotenoids are antioxidants and increase immunocompetence. This trade-off
 is hypothesized to underlie the honesty of carotenoid-dependent
 coloration, signaling the “handicap” of allocating carotenoids away from
 somatic maintenance toward sexual display. Utilizing recent advances in
 modeling adaptive evolution, we used a comparative approach to investigate
 the evolution of plasma carotenoid levels using a species-level phylogeny
 of 178 bird species. We find that the evolutionary optimum for carotenoid
 levels is higher in lineages that evolved carotenoid-dependent coloration,
 with strong attraction toward this optimum. Hence, carotenoids do not
 appear to be limiting, given that higher carotenoid levels readily evolve
 in response to the evolution of carotenoid-dependent coloration. These
 findings challenge the assumption that carotenoids are a scarce resource
 and thus also challenge the hypothesis that physiological resource value
 of carotenoids underlies honesty of carotenoid-dependent traits.
 Therefore, the comparative evidence suggests that other factors, such as
 the acquisition and incorporation of carotenoids, are involved in
 maintaining signal honesty.
