title: Data from: Performance of five food regimes on Anopheles gambiae senso stricto larval rearing to adult emergence in Insectary

description: Background: Rearing of Anopheles gambiae s.s mosquitoes in insectary with
 quality cheap food sources is of paramount importance for better and
 healthy colony. This study evaluated larval survival and the development
 rate of aquatic stages of An.gambiae s.s under five food regimes; tetramin
 fish food (a standard insectary larval food), maize pollen, Cerelac, green
 filamentous algae and dry powdered filamentous algae. Methods: Food
 materials were obtained from different sources, cerelac was made locally,
 fresh filamentous algae was taken from water bodies, dry filamentous algae
 was ground to powder after it was dried under shade, and maize pollen was
 collected from the flowering maize. Each food source type was used to feed
 three densities of mosquito larvae 20, 60, and 100 in six replicates each.
 Larval age structure was monitored daily until pupation and subsequently
 adult emergence. Tetramin was used and taken as a standard food source for
 An. gambiae s.s. larvae feeding in Insectary. Results: Larval survivorship
 using maize pollen and Tetramin fish food was statistically insignificant
 (P = 0.564). However when compared to other food regime survivorship was
 significantly different with Tetramin fish food performing better than
 cerelac (P&lt;0.001), dry algae (P&lt;0.001) and fresh algae
 (P&lt;0.001). The pupation rates and sex ratio of emerging adults had
 significant differences among the food regimes. Conclusion: The findings
 of this study have shown that maize pollen had closely similar nutritional
 value for larval survivorship to tetramin fish food, a standard larvae
 food in insectary. Further studies are required to assess the effect of
 food sources on various life traits of the emerged adults.

title: Data from: Reduced mate availability leads to evolution of self-fertilization and purging of inbreeding depression in a hermaphrodite

description: Basic models of mating-system evolution predict that hermaphroditic
 organisms should mostly either cross-fertilize, or self-fertilize, due to
 self-reinforcing coevolution of inbreeding depression and outcrossing
 rates. However transitions between mating systems occur. A plausible
 scenario for such transitions assumes that a decrease in pollinator or
 mate availability temporarily constrains outcrossing populations to
 self-fertilize as a reproductive assurance strategy. This should trigger a
 purge of inbreeding depression which in turn encourages individuals to
 self-fertilize more often and finally to reduce male allocation. We tested
 the predictions of this scenario using the freshwater snail Physa acuta, a
 self-compatible hermaphrodite that preferentially outcrosses and exhibits
 high inbreeding depression in natural populations. From an outbred
 population, we built two types of experimental evolution lines, controls
 (outcrossing every generation) and constrained lines (in which mates were
 often unavailable, forcing individuals to self-fertilize). After ca.
 twenty generations, individuals from constrained lines initiated
 self-fertilization earlier in life and had purged most of their inbreeding
 depression compared to controls. However, their male allocation remained
 unchanged. Our study suggests that the mating system can rapidly evolve as
 a response to reduced mating opportunities, supporting the reproductive
 assurance scenario of transitions from outcrossing to selfing.

title: Data from: Three new naraoiid species from the Burgess Shale, with a morphometric and phylogenetic reinvestigation of Naraoiidae

description: Naraoiids are non‐biomineralized euarthropods characterized by the
 complete fusion of post‐cephalic tergo‐pleurae into a single shield, as
 well as an extensively ramified digestive tract. Ranging from the early
 Cambrian to the late Silurian (Pridoli), these arthropods of simple
 appearance have traditionally been associated with the early
 diversification of trilobites and their close relatives, but the
 interrelationships and affinities of naraoiids within Artiopoda remain
 poorly characterized. Three new species from the Burgess Shale (middle
 Cambrian, Stage 5) of British Columbia, Canada, are described here:
 Misszhouia canadensis sp. nov., from Marble Canyon (Kootenay National
 Park), the first species belonging to the genus Misszhouia outside of
 China; Naraoia magna sp. nov., from Marble Canyon and also from the
 Raymond Quarry (Yoho National Park), the largest species of Naraoia
 described thus far, reaching up to 9 cm in length; and Naraoia arcana sp.
 nov., from two sublocalities on Mount Stephen (Yoho National Park),
 defined by its unusual combination of spines. This new material shows that
 gut morphology is no longer a reliable character to distinguish Misszhouia
 from Naraoia. We demonstrate that Naraoia and Misszhouia can instead be
 discriminated morphometrically, based on simple metrics of the dorsal
 exoskeleton. Our quantitative results also help with inter‐specific
 discrimination and illustrate possible cases of sexual dimorphism.
 Phylogenetically, the inclusion of morphometric data adds resolution to
 our cladogram, although parsimony and likelihood treatments provide
 somewhat different evolutionary scenarios. In all cases, liwiines are
 nested within Naraoiidae, resolved as the most derived clade of
 trilobitomorph arthropods.

title: Data from: Emergence of novel fungal pathogens by ecological speciation: importance of the reduced viability of immigrants

description: Expanding global trade and the domestication of ecosystems have greatly
 accelerated the rate of emerging infectious fungal diseases, and
 host-shift speciation appears to be a major route for disease emergence.
 There is therefore an increased interest in identifying the factors that
 drive the evolution of reproductive isolation between populations adapting
 to different hosts. Here, we used genetic markers and cross-inoculations
 to assess the level of gene flow and investigate barriers responsible for
 reproductive isolation between two sympatric populations of Venturia
 inaequalis, the fungal pathogen causing apple scab disease, one of the
 fungal populations causing a recent emerging disease on resistant
 varieties. Our results showed the maintenance over several years of strong
 and stable differentiation between the two populations in the same
 orchards, suggesting ongoing ecological divergence following a host-shift.
 We identified strong selection against immigrants (i.e. host-specificity)
 from different host varieties as the strongest and likely most efficient
 barrier to gene flow between local and emerging populations. Cross-variety
 disease transmission events were indeed rare in the field and
 cross-inoculation tests confirmed high host specificity. Because the
 fungus mates within its host after successful infection and because
 pathogenicity-related loci prevent infection of non-host trees, adaptation
 to specific hosts may alone maintain both genetic differentiation between
 and adaptive allelic combinations within sympatric populations
 parasitizing different apple varieties, thus acting as a “magic trait”.
 Additional intrinsic and extrinsic post-zygotic barriers might complete
 reproductive isolation and explain why the rare migrants and F1 hybrids
 detected do not lead to pervasive gene flow across years.

title: Data from: The caddisfly fauna (Insecta, Trichoptera) of the rivers of the Black Sea basin in Kosovo with distributional data for some rare species

description: Adult caddisfly specimens were collected by the means of UV light trap in
 twelve stations that belong to the Black Sea water basin in Kosovo.
 Sixty-five species out of seventy-six reported in this paper are first
 records for the Kosovo caddisfly fauna. Most of the species belong to the
 Palearctic type of fauna (17) followed by the Euro-Asian group with 16
 species, the European group with 10 species, the Middle or South-European
 group with 7 species, than the Balkanic group, the Balkanic-Carpathian
 group and the Middle or South-Eastern European group with 6 species each,
 the Mediterranean group with 5 species and finally the Eurosibirian group
 with 3 species. A sudden discovery of several species during this
 investigation (Agapetus delicatulus McLachlan, 1884, Psychomyia klapaleki

title: Data from: Adaptation to fluctuating environments in a selection experiment with Drosophila melanogaster

description: A fundamental question in life-history evolution is how organisms cope
 with fluctuating environments, including variation between stressful and
 benign conditions. For short-lived organisms, environments commonly vary
 between generations. Using a novel experimental design, we exposed
 wild-derived Drosophila melanogaster to three different selection regimes:
 one where generations alternated between starvation and benign conditions,
 and starvation was always preceded by early exposure to cold; another
 where starvation and benign conditions alternated in the same way, but
 cold shock sometimes preceded starvation and sometimes benign conditions;
 and a third where conditions were always benign. Using six replicate
 populations per selection regime, we found that selected flies increased
 their starvation resistance, most strongly for the regime where cold and
 starvation were reliably combined, and this occurred without decreased
 fecundity or extended developmental time. The selected flies became stress
 resistant, displayed a pronounced increase in early-life food intake and
 resource storage. In contrast to previous experiments selecting for
 increased starvation resistance in D. melanogaster, we did not find
 increased storage of lipids as the main response, but instead that, in
 particular for females, storage of carbohydrates was more pronounced. We
 argue that faster mobilization of carbohydrates is advantageous in
 fluctuating environments and conclude that the phenotype that evolved in
 our experiment corresponds to a compromise between the requirements of
 stressful and benign environments.

title: Data from: Testing the scaling effects and mechanisms of N-induced biodiversity loss: evidence from a decade-long grassland experiment

description: Although extensive studies demonstrate that nitrogen (N) enrichment
 frequently reduces plant diversity within small quadrats (0.5 –4 m2), only
 a few studies have evaluated N effects on biodiversity across different
 spatial scales. We conducted the first experimental test of the scale
 dependence of N effects on species richness from a 10-year N treatment
 (1.75- 28 g N m−2 yr−1) in a typical steppe. We used species area
 relationship (SAR) to analyze the scale dependence of species loss with
 power model S = cAz (S is species number, A is area, c is intercept, and z
 is slope). Absolute species loss decreased at sampling area &gt; 8 m2.
 Proportional species loss (compared to control) decreased and critical
 threshold (Ncrit) for biodiversity losses increased with sampling areas.
 These scale dependences were quantified as increasing slope (z-value) of
 SAR with N addition. Through SAR decomposition, we found that this overall
 positive effect was in response to positive effects of changes to the
 species abundance distribution over negative effects of overall species
 richness losses. Synthesis. As nitrogen (N) enrichment typically occurs at
 scales much larger than individual plots, understanding how N enrichment
 affects the scaling patterns of biodiversity is necessary for biodiversity
 conservation and ecosystem management in response to anthropogenic N
 deposition.

title: Data from: Paths to selection on life history loci in different natural environments across the native range of Arabidopsis thaliana

description: Selection on quantitative trait loci (QTL) may vary among natural
 environments due to differences in the genetic architecture of traits,
 environment-specific allelic effects or changes in the direction and
 magnitude of selection on specific traits. To dissect the environmental
 differences in selection on life history QTL across climatic regions, we
 grew a panel of interconnected recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of
 Arabidopsis thaliana in four field sites across its native European range.
 For each environment, we mapped QTL for growth, reproductive timing and
 development. Several QTL were pleiotropic across environments, three
 colocalizing with known functional polymorphisms in flowering time genes
 (CRY2, FRI and MAF2-5), but major QTL differed across field sites, showing
 conditional neutrality. We used structural equation models to trace
 selection paths from QTL to lifetime fitness in each environment. Only
 three QTL directly affected fruit number, measuring fitness. Most QTL had
 an indirect effect on fitness through their effect on bolting time or leaf
 length. Influence of life history traits on fitness differed dramatically
 across sites, resulting in different patterns of selection on reproductive
 timing and underlying QTL. In two oceanic field sites with high
 prereproductive mortality, QTL alleles contributing to early reproduction
 resulted in greater fruit production, conferring selective advantage,
 whereas alleles contributing to later reproduction resulted in larger size
 and higher fitness in a continental site. This demonstrates how
 environmental variation leads to change in both QTL effect sizes and
 direction of selection on traits, justifying the persistence of allelic
 polymorphism at life history QTL across the species range.

title: Data from: Random sperm use and genetic effects on worker caste fate in Atta colombica leaf-cutting ants

description: Sperm competition can produce fascinating adaptations with far-reaching
 evolutionary consequences. Social taxa make particularly interesting
 models, because the outcome of sexual selection determines the genetic
 composition of groups, with attendant sociobiological consequences. Here,
 we use molecular tools to uncover some of the mechanisms and consequences
 of sperm competition in the leaf-cutting ant Atta colombica, a species
 with extreme worker size polymorphism. Competitive PCR allowed
 quantification of the relative numbers of sperm stored by queens from
 different males, and offspring genotyping revealed how sperm number
 translated into paternity of eggs and adult workers. We demonstrate that
 fertilisation success is directly related to sperm numbers, that stored
 sperm are well mixed and that egg paternity is constant over time.
 Moreover, worker size was found to have a considerable genetic component,
 despite expectations that genetic effects on caste fate should be reduced
 in species with a low degree of polyandry. Our data suggest that sexual
 conflict over paternity is largely resolved by the lifetime commitment
 between mates generated by long-term sperm storage, and show that genetic
 variation for caste can persist in societies with comparatively high
 relatedness.

title: Data from: Effects of plant and pollinator traits on the maintenance of a food deceptive species within a plant community

description: Model-mimic plant systems are well known. However, the conditions
 promoting the existence of such systems are still an enigma. We suggest
 that by focusing on floral similarity between model and mimic, reward
 levels offered by models, and pollinators' ability to adjust foraging
 accordingly, the conditions can be better understood. Using
 spatially-explicit modelling, we examined trait combinations that lead to
 the survival of deceptive species under a large range of mimic strategies,
 from Batesian mimicry to general food deception. Unlike previous models
 studying such systems, we examined model-mimic interactions in the
 presence of a third, dissimilar species, thus generating a more realistic
 scenario where pollinators may avoid the model-mimic system altogether.
 Results showed that overall survival and abundance of species in food
 deceptive systems depend on the relative reward provided by the
 participating species and the potential alternatives available.
 Specifically, the success of a mimic in a Batesian mimicry system depends
 on high levels of reward provided by its model species relative to
 potential alternatives in the flower community. On the other hand, the
 success of a mimic in a general food deception system was higher when the
 reward offered was lower. Our study suggests that the ability of
 pollinators to utilize their experience as part of decision-making is
 highly relevant in promoting mimic survival, thus shedding light on the
 conditions under which food deception is expected.
