title: Data from: The new bioinformatics: integrating ecological data from the gene to the biosphere

description: Bioinformatics, the application of computational tools to the management
 and analysis of biological data, has stimulated rapid research advances in
 genomics through the development of data archives such as GenBank, and
 similar progress is just beginning within ecology. One reason for the
 belated adoption of informatics approaches in ecology is the breadth of
 ecologically pertinent data (from genes to the biosphere) and its highly
 heterogeneous nature. The variety of formats, logical structures, and
 sampling methods in ecology create significant challenges. Cultural
 barriers further impede progress, especially for the creation and adoption
 of data standards. Here we describe informatics frameworks for ecology,
 from subject-specific data warehouses, to generic data collections that
 use detailed metadata descriptions and formal ontologies to catalog and
 cross-reference information. Combining these approaches with automated
 data integration techniques and scientific workflow systems will maximize
 the value of data and open new frontiers for research in ecology.

title: Data from: Hepatitis B vaccination coverage, knowledge and sociodemographic determinants of uptake in high risk public safety workers in Kaduna State, Nigeria: a cross sectional survey

description: Objectives: To estimate hepatitis B vaccination (HBVc) coverage, and
 knowledge and socio-demographic determinants of full-dose uptake in
 Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) members, Kaduna State, Nigeria in order
 to inform relevant targeted vaccination policies. Design: A
 cross-sectional survey of FRSC members, Kaduna Sector Command. Settings:
 Six randomly-selected Unit Commands under Kaduna Sector Command, Kaduna
 State, Nigeria. Participants: Pilot-tested structured self-administered
 questionnaire was administered to 341 participants aged 18 years and above
 with ≥6 months of service between 17th June and 22nd July, 2015. Excluded
 were FRSC members in Road Safety (RS) 1 Zonal Command headquarters as the
 Zonal Command includes other States beyond the study scope. Primary
 Outcome: HBVc status of participants categorized as ‘not vaccinated’ for
 uptake of &lt;3 doses and ‘vaccinated’ for uptake of ≥3 doses.
 Analysis: Descriptive analysis estimated HBVc coverage while logistic
 regression ascertained associations. Results: Most participants were
 males, aged 30-39 years, with 3-10 years of service, and of Marshal cadre.
 HBVc coverage was 60.9% for ≥1 dose and 30.5% for ≥3 doses. Less than 47%
 of participants scored above the mean knowledge score for hepatitis B
 virus (HBV) and HBVc. Female sex (AOR 2.28, 95% CI 1.15-4.52,
 p&lt;0.05), perceiving there to be an occupational risk of exposure to
 HBV (AOR 2.86, 95% CI 1.06-7.70, p&lt;0.001), and increasing HBVc
 knowledge (AOR 2.68, 95% CI 1.83-3.92, p&lt;0.001) were independent
 predictors of full-dose HBVc in FRSC members, Kaduna Sector Command.
 Conclusions: HBVc coverage and knowledge are poor among FRSC members,
 Kaduna Sector Command. Educational intervention, geared towards improving
 FRSC members’ knowledge of HBVc and perception of risk of occupational
 exposure to HBV, is recommended for these vulnerable public safety
 workers. Such enlightenment could be a cheap and easy way of improving
 HBVc coverage in the study population.

title: Data from: You don’t belong here: explaining the excess of rare species in terms of habitat, space and time

description: Ecological communities are composed of a few common and several rare
 species. Many studies have evaluated the shape of abundance distribution
 curves, but few studies have assessed the causes of rarity. Using a
 dataset of stream macroinvertebrates, we investigated whether the excess
 of rare species in three focal communities of stones in riffles were
 common i) in other habitats at the same stream site and period of sampling
 (Environment), ii) in other stream sites in the same habitat and period of
 sampling (Space), and iii) in other years in the same stream site and
 habitat (Time). We observed that around 28% of the rare species were
 common in other habitats (Environment), stream sites (Space) or years
 (Time). Among the three factors, rarity was mostly explained by habitat
 type, whereas a significant portion of the rare species in riffles were
 common in pools, submerged roots of terrestrial plants or in partially
 submerged moss patches. This result suggests that the presence in
 non-optimum habitat is a strong determinant of the rarity observed in
 natural communities and most rare species are due to sampling artifacts or
 accidentally sampled transient species.

title: Data from: Host age modulates parasite infectivity, virulence and reproduction

description: 1. Host age is one of the most striking differences among hosts within
 most populations, but there is very little data on how age-dependent
 effects impact ecological and evolutionary dynamics of both the host and
 the parasite. 2. Here, we examined the influence of host age (juveniles,
 young and old adults) at parasite exposure on host susceptibility,
 fecundity and survival as well as parasite transmission, using two clones
 of the water flea Daphnia magna and two clones of its bacterial parasite
 Pasteuria ramosa. 3. Younger D. magna were more susceptible to infection
 than older ones, regardless of host or parasite clone. Also,
 younger-infected D. magna became castrated faster than older hosts, but
 host and parasite clone effects contributed to this trait as well.
 Furthermore, the early-infected D. magna produced considerably more
 parasite transmission stages than late-infected ones, while host age at
 exposure did not affect virulence as it is defined in models (host
 mortality). 4. When virulence is defined more broadly as the negative
 effects of infection on host fitness, by integrating the parasitic effects
 on host fecundity and mortality, then host age at exposure seems to slide
 along a negative relationship between host and parasite fitness. Thus, the
 virulence–transmission trade-off differs strongly among age classes, which
 in turn affects predictions of optimal virulence. 5. Age-dependent effects
 on host susceptibility, virulence and parasite transmission could pose an
 important challenge for experimental and theoretical studies of infectious
 disease dynamics and disease ecology. Our results present a call for a
 more explicit stage-structured theory for disease, which will incorporate
 age-dependent epidemiological parameters.

title: Data from: Anatomy and relationships of the South African gorgonopsian Arctops (Therapsida, Theriodontia)

description: The gorgonopsian genus Arctops from the late Permian of South Africa is
 revised and redescribed. The nominal species Arctops kitchingi and Arctops
 watsoni are found to be junior synonyms of the type species Arctops
 willistoni. A well-prepared specimen previously referred to Lycaenops
 angusticeps and additional, previously undescribed specimens are also
 referred to A. willistoni. The vomerine morphology of Arctops is highly
 distinctive, supporting previous work highlighting the taxonomic
 importance of this element. Arctops is restricted to the Cistecephalus
 Assemblage Zone of the South African Beaufort Group. Inclusion of Arctops
 in a phylogenetic analysis of gorgonopsian relationships recovers it as
 the sister-taxon of Smilesaurus ferox, with the clade composed of Arctops
 + Smilesaurus positioned outside the Rubidgeinae.

title: Data from: Coordinated species importation policies are needed to reduce serious invasions globally: the case of alien bumblebees in South America

description: The global trade of species promotes diverse human activities but also
 facilitates the introduction of potentially invasive species into new
 environments. As species ignore national boundaries, unilateral national
 decisions concerning species trade set the stage for transnational species
 invasion with significant conservation, economic and political
 consequences. The need for a coordinated approach to species importation
 policies is demonstrated by the introduction of two bumblebee species into
 Chile for crop pollination, despite Argentina banning commercial
 importation of alien bumblebees based on expert opinion. The large garden
 bumblebee, Bombus ruderatus, was first introduced in 1982, and the
 buff-tailed bumblebee, Bombus terrestris, has been continually introduced
 since 1997 as part of the burgeoning bumblebee trade. Both species have
 subsequently invaded southern South America. Today, the consequences of
 the growth of the bumblebee trade for agricultural pollination ranks among
 the top 15 emerging environmental issues likely to affect global
 diversity. Documented impacts of these invasions include the severe
 decline and local extinctions of the sole native Patagonian bumblebee,
 Bombus dahlbomii, pathogen transmission, flower damage and nectar robbing
 of native and cultivated plants. Policy implications. The South American
 bumblebee invasions portrayed here should alert governments to the
 unintended consequences of the booming international bee trade. More
 broadly, this case demonstrates that one country's importation
 decisions can have policy implications for its neighbours without
 consultation. Regrettably, coordinated international measures to prevent
 species invasions are seldom considered in South America or elsewhere,
 despite existing legal frameworks. The bumblebee case and others provide
 stark evidence of the pressing need for coordinated specific and general
 international policies concerning global species trade and their
 implementation.

title: Data from: Developmental plasticity evolved according to specialist–generalist trade-offs in experimental populations of Drosophila melanogaster

description: We studied the evolution of developmental plasticity in populations of
 Drosophila melanogaster that evolved at either constant or fluctuating
 temperatures. Consistent with theory, genotypes that evolved at a constant
 16°C or 25°C performed best when raised and tested at that temperature.
 Genotypes that evolved at fluctuating temperatures performed well at
 either temperature, but only when raised and tested at the same
 temperature. Our results confirm evolutionary patterns predicted by
 theory, including a loss of plasticity and a benefit of specialization in
 constant environments.

title: Data from: Inbreeding and inbreeding avoidance in wild giant pandas

description: Inbreeding can have negative consequences on population and individual
 fitness, which could be counteracted by inbreeding avoidance mechanisms.
 However, the inbreeding risk and inbreeding avoidance mechanisms in
 endangered species are less studied. The giant panda, a solitary and
 threatened species, lives in many small populations and suffers from
 habitat fragmentation, which may aggravate the risk of inbreeding. Here,
 we performed long-term observations of reproductive behaviour, sampling of
 mother-cub pairs and large-scale genetic analyses on wild giant pandas.
 Moderate levels of inbreeding were found in 21.1% of mating-pairs, 9.1% of
 parent-pairs and 7.7% of panda cubs, but no high-level inbreeding
 occurred. More significant levels of inbreeding may be avoided passively
 by female-biased natal dispersal rather than by breeding dispersal or
 active relatedness-based mate choice mechanisms. The level of inbreeding
 in giant pandas is greater than expected for a solitary mammal and thus
 warrants concern for potential inbreeding depression, particularly in
 small populations isolated by continuing habitat fragmentation, which will
 reduce female dispersal and increase the risk of inbreeding.

title: Data from: Targeted approach to identify genetic loci associated with evolved dioxin tolerance in Atlantic Killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus)

description: Background: The most toxic aromatic hydrocarbon pollutants are categorized
 as dioxin-like compounds (DLCs) to which extreme tolerance has evolved
 independently and contemporaneously in (at least) four populations of
 Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus). Surprisingly, the magnitude
 and phenotype of DLC tolerance is similar among these killifish
 populations that have adapted to varied, but highly aromatic
 hydrocarbon-contaminated urban/industrialized estuaries of the US Atlantic
 coast. Multiple tolerant and neighboring sensitive killifish populations
 were compared with the expectation that genetic loci associated with DLC
 tolerance would be revealed. Results: Since the aryl hydrocarbon receptor
 (AHR) pathway partly or fully mediates DLC toxicity in vertebrates, single
 nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 42 genes associated with the AHR
 pathway were identified to serve as targeted markers. Wild fish (N =
 36/37) from four highly tolerant killifish populations and four nearby
 sensitive populations were genotyped using 59 SNP markers. Similar to
 other killifish population genetic analyses, strong genetic
 differentiation among populations was detected, consistent with isolation
 by distance models. When DLC-sensitive populations were pooled and
 compared to pooled DLC-tolerant populations, multi-locus analyses did not
 distinguish the two groups. However, pairwise comparisons of nearby
 tolerant and sensitive populations revealed high differentiation among
 sensitive and tolerant populations at these specific loci: AHR 1 and 2,
 cathepsin Z, the cytochrome P450s (CYP1A and 3A30), and the NADH
 dehydrogenase subunits. In addition, significant shifts in minor allele
 frequency were observed at AHR2 and CYP1A loci across most
 sensitive/tolerant pairs, but only AHR2 exhibited shifts in the same
 direction across all pairs. Conclusions: The observed differences in
 allelic composition at the AHR2 and CYP1A SNP loci were identified as
 significant among paired sensitive/tolerant populations of Atlantic
 killifish with multiple statistical tests. The genetic patterns reported
 here lend support to the argument that AHR2 and CYP1A play a role in the
 adaptive response to extreme DLC contamination. Additional functional
 assays are required to isolate the exact mechanism of DLC tolerance.

title: Data from: Experimental habitat fragmentation disrupts nematode infections in Australian skinks

description: Habitat conversion and fragmentation threaten biodiversity and disrupt
 species interactions. While parasites are recognized as ecologically
 important, the impacts of fragmentation on parasitism are poorly
 understood relative to other species interactions. This lack of
 understanding is in part due to confounding landscape factors that
 accompany fragmentation. Fragmentation experiments provide the opportunity
 to fill this knowledge gap by mechanistically testing how fragmentation
 affects parasitism while controlling landscape factors. In a large-scale,
 long-term experiment, we asked how fragmentation affects a host-parasite
 interaction between a skink and a parasitic nematode, which is trophically
 transmitted via a terrestrial amphipod intermediate host. We expected that
 previously observed amphipod declines resulting from fragmentation would
 result in decreased transmission of nematodes to skinks. In agreement, we
 found that nematodes were absent among skinks in the cleared matrix and
 that infections in fragments were about one quarter of those in continuous
 forest. Amphipods found in gut contents of skinks and collected from
 pitfall traps mirrored this pattern. A structural equation model supported
 the expectation that fragmentation disrupted this interaction by altering
 the abundance of amphipods and suggested that other variables are likely
 also important in mediating this effect. These findings advance
 understanding of how landscape change affects parasitism.
