title: Data from: Parental investment in a Tibetan population does not reflect stated cultural norms

description: In this paper, we examined both stated norms of gender preference and
 actual sex-biases in parental investment in a Tibetan pastoralist society.
 We collected detailed demographic data to examine how biased parental
 investment had an effect on infant mortality, infant feeding, the length
 of interbirth intervals and a decision when giving gifts. Our results
 indicate a mismatch between self-reported son preference and measures of
 actual parental investment that favour daughters. We interpret this
 female-biased parental investment as a possible response to daughters
 generating more economic resources. However, the stated gender preferences
 of both sexes reflect cultural norms that appear to have remained
 unchanged over a long period, which may reflect the importance of male
 roles in the past. Our behavioural measures of parental investment are
 those most likely to be in the control of women (such as breastfeeding and
 interbirth interval), so this mismatch between stated preferences and
 actual biases in investment may be especially true of women.

title: Data from: The effects of food limitation on life history tradeoffs in pregnant male Gulf pipefish

description: Syngnathid fishes (pipefishes, seahorses and seadragons) are characterized
 by a unique mode of paternal care in which embryos develop on or in the
 male’s body, often within a structure known as a brood pouch. Evidence
 suggests that this pouch plays a role in mediating postcopulatory sexual
 selection and that males have some control over the events occurring
 within the pouch during the pregnancy. These observations lead to the
 prediction that males should invest differently in broods depending on the
 availability of food. Here, we use the Gulf pipefish to test this
 prediction by monitoring growth rate and offspring survivorship during the
 pregnancies of males under low- or high-food conditions. Our results show
 that pregnant males grow less rapidly on average than non-pregnant males,
 and pregnant males under low-food conditions grow less than pregnant males
 under high-food conditions. Offspring survivorship, on the other hand,
 does not differ between food treatments, suggesting that male Gulf
 pipefish sacrifice investment in somatic growth, and thus indirectly
 sacrifice future reproduction, in favor of current reproduction. However,
 a positive relationship between number of failed eggs and male growth rate
 in our low-food treatments suggests that undeveloped eggs reduce the
 pregnancy’s overall cost to the male compared to broods containing only
 viable offspring.

title: Data from: Modeling the effects of climate-change induced shifts in reproductive phenology on temperature-dependent traits

description: By altering phenology, organisms have the potential to match life-history
 events with suitable environmental conditions. Because of this,
 phenological plasticity has been proposed as a mechanism whereby
 populations might buffer themselves from climate change. We examine the
 potential buffering power of advancing one aspect of phenology, nesting
 date, on sex ratio in painted turtles (Chrysemys picta), a species with
 temperature-dependent sex determination. We developed a modified constant
 temperature equivalent model that accounts for the effect of the
 interaction among climate change, oviposition date, and seasonal thermal
 pattern on temperature during sexual differentiation and thus on offspring
 sex ratio. Our results suggest that females will not be able to buffer
 their progeny from the negative consequences of climate change by
 adjusting nesting date alone. Not only are offspring sex ratios predicted
 to become 100% female, but our model suggests that many nests will fail.
 Because the seasonal thermal trends that we consider are experienced by
 most temperate species, our result that adjusting spring phenology alone
 will be insufficient to counter the effects of directional climate change
 may be broadly applicable.

The file contains nesting date and mean temperatures for each day of the thermosensitive period for sex determination (TSP, July) in 16 natural painted turtle (Chrysemys picta) nests. Each of these nests resulted in the production of both male and female offspring (i.e. mixed-sex nests). Temperature data were collected using thermal data loggers within the nests and these means were derived from hourly temperature trends. The data were collected from nests at the Thomson Causeway Recreation Area in Thomson, IL. These data were used to estimate the historic slope of temperature change over the entire TSP.

title: Data from: Demasculinization of male guppies increases resistance to a common and harmful ectoparasite

description: Parasites are detrimental to host fitness and therefore should strongly
 select for host defence mechanisms. Yet, hosts vary considerably in their
 observed parasite loads. One notable source of inter-individual variation
 in parasitism is host sex. Such variation could be caused by the
 immunomodulatory effects of gonadal steroids. Here we assess the influence
 of gonadal steroids on the ability of guppies (Poecilia reticulata) to
 defend themselves against a common and deleterious parasite (Gyrodactylus
 turnbulli). Adult male guppies underwent 31 days of artificial
 demasculinization with the androgen receptor-antagonist flutamide, or
 feminization with a combination of flutamide and the synthetic oestrogen
 17 β-estradiol, and their parasite loads were compared over time to
 untreated males and females. Both demasculinized and feminized male
 guppies had lower G. turnbulli loads than the untreated males and females,
 but this effect appeared to be mainly the result of demasculinization,
 with feminization having no additional measurable effect. Furthermore,
 demasculinized males, feminized males and untreated females all suffered
 lower Gyrodactylus-induced mortality than untreated males. Together, these
 results suggest that androgens reduce the ability of guppies to control
 parasite loads, and modulate resistance to and survival from infection. We
 discuss the relevance of these findings for understanding constraints on
 the evolution of resistance in guppies and other vertebrates.

title: Data from: De novo discovery and multiplexed amplification of microsatellite markers for black alder (Alnus glutinosa) and related species using SSR-enriched shotgun pyrosequencing.

description: Recent developments in sequencing technologies and bioinformatics analyses
 provide an unprecedented opportunity for cost and time effective high
 quality microsatellite marker discovery in non-model organisms for which
 no genomic information is available. Here, we use shotgun pyrosequencing
 of a microsatellite-enriched library to develop, for the first time,
 microsatellite markers for Alnus glutinosa, a keystone tree species of
 European riparian woodland communities. From a total of 17,855 short
 sequences, we identified 590 perfect microsatellites from which 392 had
 designed primers. A subset of 48 loci were tested for amplification,
 twelve of which were polymorphic in A. glutinosa. These twelve loci were
 successfully co-amplified in a single multiplex PCR experiment and
 validated for population genetics applications. In addition, ten and eight
 of these microsatellites were found to be transferable to the related A.
 incana and A. cordata species. The developed multiplex of 12
 microsatellite markers therefore provides new opportunities for
 experimental evolutionary and forest genetics research in Alnus.

title: Data from: The dominant detritus-feeding invertebrate in arctic peat soils derives its essential amino acids from gut symbionts

description: Supplementation of nutrients by symbionts enables consumers to thrive on
 resources that might otherwise be insufficient to meet nutritional
 demands. Such nutritional subsidies by intracellular symbionts has been
 well studied; however, supplementation of de novo synthesized nutrients to
 hosts by extracellular gut symbionts is poorly documented, especially for
 generalists with relatively undifferentiated intestinal tracts. Although
 gut symbionts facilitate degradation of resources that would otherwise
 remain inaccessible to the host, such digestive actions alone cannot make
 up for dietary insufficiencies of macronutrients such as essential amino
 acids (EAA). Documenting whether gut symbionts also function as partners
 for symbiotic EAA supplementation is important because the question of how
 some detritivores are able to subsist on nutritionally insufficient diets
 has remained unresolved. To answer this poorly-understood nutritional
 aspect of symbiont-host interactions, we studied the enchytraeid worm, a
 bulk soil feeder that thrives in arctic peatlands. In a combined field and
 laboratory study, we employed stable isotope fingerprinting of amino acids
 to identify the biosynthetic origins of amino acids to bacteria, fungi and
 plants in enchytraeids. Enchytraeids collected from arctic peatlands
 derived more than 80% of their EAA from bacteria. In a controlled feeding
 study with the enchytraeid Enchytraeus crypticus, EAA derived almost
 exclusively from gut bacteria when the worms fed on higher fiber diets,
 whereas most of the enchytraeids' EAA derived from dietary sources
 when fed on lower fiber diets. Our gene sequencing results of gut
 microbiota showed that the worms harbor several taxa in their gut lumen
 absent from their diets and substrates. Almost all gut taxa are candidates
 for EAA supplementation because almost all belong to clades capable of
 biosynthesizing EAA. Our study provides the first evidence of extensive
 symbiotic supplementation of EAA by microbial gut symbionts, and
 demonstrate that symbiotic bacteria in the gut lumen appear to function as
 partners for both symbiotic EAA supplementation as well as for digestion
 of insoluble plant fibers.

title: Data from: Bouncing Back: plant-associated soil microbes respond rapidly to prairie establishment

description: It is well established that soil microbial communities change in response
 to altered land use and land cover, but less is known about the timing of
 these changes. Understanding temporal patterns in recovering microbial
 communities is an important part of improving how we assess and manage
 reconstructed ecosystems. We assessed patterns of community-level
 microbial diversity and abundance in corn and prairie plots 2 to 4 years
 after establishment in agricultural fields, using phospholipid fatty acid
 biomarkers. Principal components analysis of the lipid biomarkers revealed
 differing composition between corn and prairie soil microbial communities.
 Despite no changes to the biomass of Gram-positive bacteria and
 actinomycetes, total biomass, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi biomass, and
 Gram-negative bacteria biomass were significantly higher in restored
 prairie plots, approaching levels found in long-established prairies.
 These results indicate that plant-associated soil microbes in agricultural
 soils can shift in less than 2 years after establishment of perennial
 grasslands.

title: Data from: Genetic variation and population structure in the endangered Hermann’s tortoise: the roles of geography and human-mediated processes

description: The Hermanni’s tortoise (Testudo hermanni) is an endangered land tortoise
 distributed in disjoint populations across Mediterranean Europe. We
 investigated its genetic variation by typing one mitochondrial locus and
 nine nuclear microsatellites in approximately 300 individuals from 22
 localities. Our goal was to understand the relative impact of natural and
 human-mediated processes in shaping the genetic structure, and to identify
 the genetic priorities for the conservation of this species. We found that
 i) all geographic areas are highly differentiated, mainly as a function of
 their distance but with a clear genetic discontinuity (Fst values larger
 than 0.4) between the Eastern and the Western subspecies; ii) the contact
 zone between subspecies is located farthest to the west than previously
 believed, and it probably coincides with the delta of the largest Italian
 river; iii) extinction events due to climatic conditions in the Upper
 Palaeolithic and subsequent human-mediated translocations in the Neolithic
 possibly explain the unexpected similarity among Spain, Sicily and
 Corsica. For conservation purposes, the large majority of genetic pools
 appears autochthonous, although hybridization among subspecies, related to
 extensive 20th century trade of tortoises across Europe, is observed in
 Spain and some Italian samples. Most populations do not seem at immediate
 risk of low genetic variation, except the French population, which has
 very low nuclear genetic diversity (heterozygosity = 0.25) and where 50
 out of 51 sampled animals shared the same mitochondrial sequence. In
 general, restocking and reintroduction plans should carefully consider the
 genetic background of the individuals.

title: Data from: Stressful city sounds: glucocorticoid responses to experimental traffic noise are environmentally dependent

description: A major challenge in urban ecology is to identify the environmental
 factors responsible for phenotypic differences between urban and rural
 individuals. However, the intercorrelation between the factors that
 characterise urban environments, combined with a lack of experimental
 manipulations of these factors in both urban and rural areas, hinder
 efforts to identify which aspects of urban environments are responsible
 for phenotypic differences. Among the factors modified by urbanisation,
 anthropogenic sound, particularly traffic noise, is especially detrimental
 to animals. The mechanisms by which anthropogenic sound affects animals
 are unclear, but one potential mechanism is through changes in
 glucocorticoid hormone levels. We exposed adult house wrens, Troglodytes
 aedon, to either traffic noise or pink noise. We found that urban wrens
 had higher initial (pre-restraint) corticosterone than rural wrens before
 treatment, and that traffic noise elevated initial corticosterone of
 rural, but not urban, wrens. By contrast, restraint stress-induced
 corticosterone was not affected by noise treatment. Our results indicate
 that traffic noise specifically contributes to determining the
 glucocorticoid phenotype, and suggest that glucocorticoids are a mechanism
 by which anthropogenic sound causes phenotypic differences between urban
 and rural animals.

title: Data from: Warming accelerates mangrove expansion and surface elevation gain in a subtropical wetland

description: Climatic warming can change how coastal wetland plants grow, thus altering
 their capacity to build land and keep pace with rising seas. As freeze
 events decline with climate change, mangroves expand their range to higher
 latitudes and displace salt marsh vegetation. Warmer air temperatures will
 likely alter above‐ and below‐ground plant dynamics as this dramatic
 coastal wetland biome shift proceeds, which in turn may result in changes
 in ecosystem function such as sediment building. We used a large scale in
 situ warming experiment in a subtropical wetland to increase both marsh
 and mangrove ecosystem air temperatures. We assessed how 2 years of
 continuous warming influenced above‐ and below‐ground plant growth and
 surface elevation relative to sea level. We found that chronic warming
 doubled plant height and accelerated the expansion of mangrove into salt
 marsh vegetation, as indicated by a sixfold greater increase in mangrove
 cover in warmed plots compared to ambient temperature plots and a
 corresponding loss in salt marsh cover. Surface elevation gain, a measure
 of soil‐building capacity, increased due to warming over a 2‐year period
 and these changes in surface elevation were driven by increased mangrove
 root production in warmed plots. Synthesis. Our findings suggest that, in
 some coastal wetlands, warming can facilitate plant community changes from
 marsh to mangrove, with corresponding increases in growth that help
 coastal wetlands to keep pace with sea‐level rise.

title: Data from: Geographic patterns of genetic variation in three genomes of North American diploid strawberries with special reference to Fragaria vesca subsp. bracteata

description: Geographic patterns of genetic variation in wild species reflect the
 interplay of ecological and evolutionary processes. We assessed genetic
 variation in three genomes across four North American diploid strawberry
 taxa, with special emphasis on the gynodioecious Fragaria vesca subsp.
 bracteata (A.Heller) Staudt. Specifically, we sequenced one chloroplast
 (rpoC2) and two mitochondrial (atp8 and atp8-orf225) genes along with
 several nuclear microsatellite markers. In addition, we assessed
 indicators of breeding system (pollen viability and female frequency) for
 all taxa. The geographic perspective on the distribution of cytoplasmic
 and nuclear variation revealed the genetic affiliation of the restricted
 taxa (Fragaria vesca subsp. californica (Cham. & Schltdl.) Staudt
 and Fragaria mexicana Schltdl.) with the widespread F. vesca subsp.
 bracteata and identified a hotspot of hybridization within gynodioecious
 F. vesca subsp. bracteata. Higher pollen viability of hermaphrodites was
 found in the three hermaphroditic taxa relative to the gynodioecious one.
 Although theoretically predicted to be associated, the proportion of
 females within F. vesca subsp. bracteata populations was not correlated
 with population-level genetic variation, suggesting that the history of
 hybridization or population size variation is more influential on the
 distribution of genetic variation than sex ratio in this gynodioecious
 species. The documented patterns of genetic variation in this complex
 serve as an important point of reference for future ecological and
 evolutionary research in diploid Fragaria.
