title: Data from: Determinants of age at first reproduction and lifetime breeding success revealed by full paternity assignment in a male ungulate

description: Age at first reproduction is an important determinant of individual
 variation in reproductive success in ungulates, but few studies have
 examined its relationship with later fitness-related traits in males. We
 used a long-term individual based study of a harvested moose population to
 quantify the individual reproductive performance and survival of males, as
 well as to examine the determinants of age at first reproduction and
 consequences of age at first reproduction on lifetime breeding success.
 The probability that a male successfully reproduced at the age of two was
 negatively related to the mean age of adult males in the population, but
 the relationship weakened with increasing population size. Large antlers
 and large body mass relative to other males in the population increased
 the number of calves sired at their first successful mating season. In
 addition, those that successfully reproduced as two year-olds were more
 likely to sire calves the next year, making them more productive at a
 given age compared to those that first reproduced at the age of three or
 older. We emphasize the importance for males to start reproducing as soon
 as possible in a harvested population to gain lifetime fitness benefits,
 as surviving the hunt is a major determinant of reproductive success in
 this population. We found no costs of early reproduction in males, hence
 leading to high individual heterogeneity in male reproductive performance.
 The apparent lack of reproductive costs could partly be explained by the
 age distribution in the population, individual variation in early-life
 body mass and antler size, and differences in probabilities of being
 killed during hunt between successful and unsuccessful males.

title: Data from: Sex-dependent evolution of life-history traits following adaptation to climate warming

description: 1. Thermodynamic processes increase metabolic rate and decrease longevity
 at high temperatures in ectotherms. However, how sustained long-term
 increase in temperature affects the evolution of longevity is poorly
 understood. 2. Stress theory of ageing predicts that increased longevity
 is positively genetically correlated with resistance to different types of
 environmental stressors implying that evolutionary trajectories of ageing
 may be mediated by correlative selection for robust phenotypes under
 thermal stress. 3. Here, we test this hypothesis by using replicate
 populations of the seed beetle Callosobruchus maculatus, evolving under
 two thermal environments: ancestral 30 °C and incremental increase towards
 novel 36 °C. 4. Beetles evolving under climate warming became larger, more
 fecund and lived longer than the beetles evolving under 30 °C across both
 environments. However, the increase in longevity was partly due to
 parental effects because after two generations of acclimatization it
 persisted only in males. 5. Our results support the hypothesis that
 evolution of stress resistance confers increased longevity through
 positive pleiotropy but demonstrate that such effects can be sex specific.
 These findings suggest that sex differences can evolve as correlated
 responses to selection under environmental change.

title: Data from: Genetic variation underlying the expression of a polyphenism

description: Polyphenic traits are widespread, and represent a conditional strategy
 sensitive to environmental cues. The environmentally cued threshold (ET)
 model considers the switchpoint between alternative phenotypes as a
 polygenic quantitative trait with normally distributed variation. However,
 the genetic variation for switchpoints has rarely been explored
 empirically. Here we used inbred lines to investigate the genetic
 variation for the switchpoint in the mite Rhizoglyphus echinopus, in which
 males are either fighters or scramblers. The conditionality of male
 dimorphism varied among inbred lines, indicating that there was genetic
 variation for switchpoints in the base population, as predicted by the ET
 model. Our results also suggest a mixture between canalised and
 conditional strategists in R. echinopus. We propose that major genes that
 canalise morph expression and affect the extent to which a trait can be
 conditionally expressed could be a feature of the genetic architecture of
 threshold traits in other taxa.

title: Data from: Palaeohistological evidence for ancestral high metabolic rate in archosaurs

description: Metabolic heat production in archosaurs has played an important role in
 their evolutionary radiation during the Mesozoic, and their ancestral
 metabolic condition has long been a matter of debate in systematics and
 palaeontology. The study of fossil bone histology provides crucial
 information on bone growth rate, which has been used to indirectly
 investigate the evolution of thermometabolism in archosaurs. However, no
 quantitative estimation of metabolic rate has ever been performed on
 fossils using bone histological features. Moreover, to date, no inference
 model has included phylogenetic information in the form of predictive
 variables. Here we performed statistical predictive modelling using the
 new method of phylogenetic eigenvector maps on a set of bone histological
 features for a sample of extant and extinct vertebrates, in order to
 estimate metabolic rates of fossil archosauromorphs. This modelling
 procedure serves as a case study for eigenvector-based predictive
 modelling in a phylogenetic context, as well as an investigation of the
 poorly known evolutionary patterns of metabolic rate in archosaurs. Our
 results show that Mesozoic theropod dinosaurs exhibit metabolic rates very
 close to those found in modern birds, that archosaurs share an higher
 ancestral metabolic rate than that of extant ectotherms, and that this
 derived high metabolic rate was acquired at a much more inclusive level of
 the phylogenetic tree, among non-archosaurian archosauromorphs. These
 results also highlight the difficulties of assigning a given heat
 production strategy (i.e. endothermy, ectothermy) to an estimated
 metabolic rate value, and confirm findings of previous studies that the
 definition of the endotherm/ectotherm dichotomy may be ambiguous.

title: Data from: The geometric framework for nutrition reveals interactions between protein and carbohydrate during larval growth in honey bees

description: In holometabolous insects, larval nutrition affects adult body size, a
 life history trait with a profound influence on performance and fitness.
 Individual nutritional components of larval diets are often complex and
 may interact with one another, necessitating the use of a geometric
 framework for elucidating nutritional effects. In the honey bee, Apis
 mellifera, nurse bees provision food to developing larvae, directly
 moderating growth rates and caste development. However, the eusocial
 nature of honey bees makes nutritional studies challenging, because diet
 components cannot be systematically manipulated in the hive. Using in
 vitro rearing, we investigated the roles and interactions between
 carbohydrate and protein content on larval survival, growth, and
 development in A. mellifera. We applied a geometric framework to determine
 how these two nutritional components interact across nine artificial
 diets. Honey bees successfully completed larval development under a wide
 range of protein and carbohydrate contents, with the medium protein (∼5%)
 diet having the highest survival. Protein and carbohydrate both had
 significant and non-linear effects on growth rate, with the highest growth
 rates observed on a medium-protein, low-carbohydrate diet. Diet
 composition did not have a statistically significant effect on development
 time. These results confirm previous findings that protein and
 carbohydrate content affect the growth of A. mellifera larvae. However,
 this study identified an interaction between carbohydrate and protein
 content that indicates a low-protein, high-carb diet has a negative effect
 on larval growth and survival. These results imply that worker recruitment
 in the hive would decline under low protein conditions, even when nectar
 abundance or honey stores are sufficient.

title: Data from: Bringing down the house: male widow spiders reduce the webs of aggressive females more

description: Theory suggests that males should adjust courtship in response to a
 variety of factors, including female quality, the risk of male-male
 competition, and often in spiders, the risk of sexual cannibalism. Male
 black widow spiders demonstrate a behavior during courtship whereby they
 tear down and bundle a female’s web in addition to providing other
 vibratory and contact sexual signals. This web reduction has been
 hypothesized to play a role in all three factors (sexual signaling,
 competition reduction, and cannibalism reduction), but rarely are these
 tested together. Here, we test these hypotheses by conducting mating
 trials using the western black widow (Latrodectus hesperus) and measuring
 both male and female quality and behavior. Our results indicate that
 amount of web reduction is best predicted by female aggression, and not
 aspects of either male or female quality (e.g., body mass), or by the
 potential for the web to attract other males (e.g., web mass). Yet, actual
 mating success was best predicted by the proportion of web reduced.
 Furthermore, there was no consistent among-individual variation in either
 reduction behavior or male success, indicating that all variation in both
 measures was due to plasticity and/or other unaccounted-for male or female
 traits. Collectively, we conclude that the primary function of web
 reduction behavior is to reduce female aggression and thus the risk of
 sexual cannibalism, and that any other functions such as signaling and
 reducing male-male competition have relatively lower importance.

title: Data from: Using predator-prey theory to predict outcomes of broad-scale experiments to reduce apparent competition

description: Apparent competition is an important process influencing many ecological
 communities. We used predator-prey theory to predict outcomes of ecosystem
 experiments aimed at mitigating apparent competition by reducing primary
 prey. Simulations predicted declines in secondary prey following
 reductions in primary prey because predators consumed more secondary prey
 until predator numbers responded to reduced prey densities. Losses were
 exacerbated by a higher carrying capacity of primary prey and a longer lag
 time of the predator’s numerical response, but a gradual reduction in
 primary prey was less detrimental to the secondary prey. We compared
 predictions against two field experiments where endangered woodland
 caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) were victims of apparent competition.
 First, when deer (Odocoileus sp.) declined suddenly following a severe
 winter, cougar (Puma concolor) declined with a 1–2-year lag, yet in the
 interim more caribou were killed by cougars, and caribou populations
 declined by 40%. Second, when moose (Alces alces) were gradually reduced
 using a management experiment, wolf (Canis lupus) populations declined but
 did not shift consumption to caribou, and the largest caribou
 subpopulation stabilized. The observed contrasting outcomes of sudden
 versus gradual declines in primary prey supported theoretical predictions.
 Combining theory with field studies clarified how to manage communities to
 mitigate endangerment caused by apparent competition that affects many
 taxa.

title: Data from: The coalescent in boundary-limited range expansions

description: Habitat ranges of most species shift over time, for instance due to
 climate change, human intervention, or adaptation. These demographic
 changes often have drastic population genetic effects, such as a
 stochastic resampling of the gene pool through the "surfing"
 phenomenon. Most models assume that the speed of range expansions is only
 limited by the dispersal ability of the colonizing species and its
 reproductive potential. While such models of "phenotype-limited"
 expansions apply to species invasions, it is clear that many range
 expansions are limited rather by the slow motion of habitat boundaries, as
 driven for instance by global warming. Here, we develop a coalescent model
 to study the genetic impact of such "boundary-limited" range
 expansions. Our simulations and analysis show that the resulting loss of
 genetic diversity is markedly lower than in species invasions if large
 carrying capacities can be maintained up to the habitat frontier.
 Counterintuitively, we find that the total loss of diversity does not
 depend on the speed of the range expansion: Slower expansions have a
 smaller rate of loss, but also last longer. Boundary-limited range
 expansions exhibit a characteristic genetic footprint and should therefore
 be distinguished from range expansions limited only by intrinsic
 characteristics of the species.

title: Data from: Two new species of long-fingered frogs of the genus Cardioglossa (Anura: Arthroleptidae) from Central African rainforests

description: We describe two new frog species of Cardioglossa (Family Arthroleptidae)
 from Central Africa. The new species are found in the rainforests of
 western-central Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the
 Congo near the Gabonese border, respectively. We demonstrate that these
 species are morphologically and genetically distinct from each other and
 all other species of Cardioglossa. Both new species lack the dorsal
 hour-glass pattern present in many species of the genus, but they can be
 distinguished from each other and related species by distinctive colour
 patterns on their lateral surfaces and extremities. Both new species most
 closely resemble C. gratiosa, which occurs in the Atlantic coastal forests
 extending from Cameroon through Gabon. The new species can be
 differentiated from C. gratiosa by the absence of black transverse bars on
 all limbs or by distinctive lateral colouration. Analysis of mitochondrial
 ribosomal 16S DNA sequences reveals low to moderate levels (1.9–7.5%) of
 divergence between these new species and closely related species of
 Cardioglossa. The floodplains of the Congo and Ubangi Rivers may be
 important geographic barriers for many of these species. The occurrence of
 these two new lowland species in the Congo Basin reveals that the
 distribution and diversity of Cardioglossa in this region was
 underestimated. In addition, we elevate C. nigromaculata inornata to
 species-level status, based in part on newly available colour photographs
 from 1950 of specimens from the only known locality.

title: Data from: Why do migratory birds sing on their tropical wintering grounds?

description: Many long-distance migratory birds sing extensively on their tropical
 African wintering grounds, but the function of this costly behavior
 remains unknown. In this study, we carry out a first empirical test of
 three competing hypotheses, combining a field study of great reed warblers
 (Acrocephalus arundinaceus) wintering in Africa with a comparative
 analysis across Palearctic-African migratory songbird species. We asked
 whether winter song (i) functions to defend nonbreeding territories, (ii)
 functions as practice to improve complex songs for subsequent breeding, or
 (iii) is a nonadaptive consequence of elevated testosterone carryover. We
 found support for neither the long-assumed territory-defense hypothesis
 (great reed warblers had widely overlapping home ranges and showed no
 conspecific aggression) nor the testosterone-carryover hypothesis (winter
 singing in great reed warblers was unrelated to plasma testosterone
 concentration). Instead, we found strongest support for the
 song-improvement hypothesis, since great reed warblers sang a mate
 attraction song type rather than a territorial song type in Africa, and
 species that sing most intensely in Africa were those in which sexual
 selection acts most strongly on song characteristics; they had more
 complex songs and were more likely to be sexually monochromatic. This
 study underlines how sexual selection can have far-reaching effects on
 animal ecology throughout the annual cycle.
