title: Data from: Species richness and interacting factors control invasibility of a marine community

description: Anthropogenic vectors have moved marine species around the world leading
 to increased invasions and expanded species' ranges. The biotic
 resistance hypothesis of Elton (in The ecology of invasions by animals and
 plants, 1958) predicts that more diverse communities should have greater
 resistance to invasions, but experiments have been equivocal. We
 hypothesized that species richness interacts with other factors to
 determine experimental outcomes. We manipulated species richness, species
 composition (native and introduced) and availability of bare space in
 invertebrate assemblages in a marina in Monterey, CA. Increased species
 richness significantly interacted with both initial cover of native
 species and of all organisms to collectively decrease recruitment.
 Although native species decreased recruitment, introduced species had a
 similar effect, and we concluded that biotic resistance is conferred by
 total species richness. We suggest that contradictory conclusions in
 previous studies about the role of diversity in regulating invasions
 reflect uncontrolled variables in those experiments that modified the
 effect of species richness. Our results suggest that patches of low
 diversity and abundance may facilitate invasions, and that such patches,
 once colonized by non-indigenous species, can resist both native and
 non-indigenous species recruitment.

title: Data from: Timing malaria transmission with mosquito fluctuations

description: Temporal variations in the activity of arthropod vectors can dramatically
 affect the epidemiology and evolution of vector-borne pathogens. Here we
 explore the “Hawking hypothesis” stating that these pathogens may evolve
 the ability to time investment in transmission to match the activity of
 their vectors. First, we use a theoretical model to identify the
 conditions promoting the evolution of time-varying transmission strategies
 in pathogens. Second, we experimentally test the “Hawking hypothesis” by
 monitoring the within-host dynamics of Plasmodium relictum throughout the
 acute and the chronic phases of the bird infection. We detect a periodic
 increase of parasitaemia and mosquito infection in the late afternoon that
 coincides with an increase in the biting activity of its natural vector.
 We also detect a positive effect of mosquito bites on Plasmodium
 replication in the birds both in the acute and in the chronic phases of
 the infection. This study highlights that Plasmodium parasites use two
 different strategies to increase the match between transmission potential
 and vector availability. We discuss the adaptive nature of these
 unconditional and plastic transmission strategies with respect to the
 time-scale and the predictability of the fluctuations in the activity of
 the vector.

title: Data from: Sleep-disordered breathing among patients admitted for inpatient video-EEG monitoring

description: Objective: Examine the frequency and risk factors of sleep-disordered
 breathing in individuals with epilepsy and psychogenic non-epileptic
 events (PNES). Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of
 consecutive patients admitted for inpatient video-EEG monitoring at The
 Royal Melbourne Hospital, Australia between December 1, 2011 and July 31,
 2017. Participants underwent routine clinical investigations during their
 monitoring period including polysomnography, neurocognitive testing, and
 screening instruments of daytime somnolence, sleep quality, and quality of
 life. Results: Our study population consisted of 370 participants who
 received a diagnosis of epilepsy (n=255), PNES (n=93), or both disorders
 (n=22). Moderate-to-severe sleep-disordered breathing (defined by an
 apnea-hypopnea index ≥15) was observed in 26.5% (98/370) individuals, and
 did not differ across subgroups: epilepsy 26.3% (67/255), PNES 29.0%
 (27/93) or both disorders 18.2% (4/22; p=0.610). Following adjustment for
 confounders, pathological daytime sleepiness predicted moderate-to-severe
 sleep-disordered breathing in epilepsy (OR 10.35, 95% CI: 2.09-51.39;
 p=0.004). In multivariable analysis, independent predictors for
 moderate-to-severe sleep-disordered breathing in epilepsy were older age
 (OR 1.07, 95% CI: 1.04-1.10; p&lt;0.001) and higher body-mass index
 (OR 1.06, 95% CI: 1.01-1.11; p=0.029), and in PNES older age (OR 1.10, 95%
 CI: 1.03-1.16; p=0.002). Conclusion: Polysomnography during inpatient
 video-EEG monitoring identified a substantial number of patients with
 undiagnosed sleep-disordered breathing. This was notable in the subgroup
 with PNES, who were often female and obese. Identification of risk factors
 may improve management of sleep-disordered breathing in these populations.
 The association with pathological daytime sleepiness suggests that
 sleep-disordered breathing may be an important contributor to these common
 and disabling symptoms in patients with epilepsy.

title: Data from: The relative response of songbirds to shifts in song amplitude and song minimum frequency

description: Anthropogenic noise presents a problem for acoustic communication in
 animal taxa around the world. Many animals respond by modifying their
 acoustic signals, sometimes along multiple axes, such as song structure,
 redundancy, or amplitude. To date, no study has assayed the relative
 response of animals to multiple axes of signal variation, such as song
 structure and song amplitude, associated with anthropogenic noise levels.
 To investigate the impact of multiple potential adaptations to
 anthropogenic noise on targeted receivers, we manipulated song amplitude
 and song minimum frequency of white-crowned sparrow (Zonotrichia
 leucophrys) songs. We used a 2 × 2 factorial design of playback
 experiments to measure male territorial responses to songs that were
 relatively quiet or loud in relation to typical Z. leucophrys songs and
 with lower or higher minimum frequencies within the range of natural Z.
 leucophrys songs. Males responded more strongly to louder songs than to
 quieter songs and more strongly to lower than to higher minimum frequency
 songs, with the strongest responses to louder songs with relatively lower
 minimum frequencies. These results indicate that whether or not increasing
 amplitude or increasing minimum frequency is more effective at increasing
 signal transmission distance in anthropogenic noise, increases in signal
 amplitude increase signal salience in male–male interactions. Thus in the
 context of territoriality and sexual selection, an increase in song
 amplitude can compensate for losses in signal salience due to higher
 minimum frequency. An increase in only song minimum frequency in the
 context of low frequency anthropogenic noise could be maladaptive.

title: Data from: Postmating sexual selection and the enigmatic jawed genitalia of Callosobruchus subinnotatus

description: Insect genitalia exhibit rapid divergent evolution. Truly extraordinary
 structures have evolved in some groups, presumably as a result of
 post-mating sexual selection. To increase our understanding of this
 phenomenon, we studied the function of one such structure. The male
 genitalia of Callosobruchus subinnotatus (Coleoptera: Bruchinae) contain a
 pair of jaw-like structures with unknown function. Here, we used
 phenotypic engineering to ablate the teeth on these jaws. We then
 experimentally assessed the effects of ablation of the genital jaws on
 mating duration, ejaculate weight, male fertilization success and female
 fecundity, using a double-mating experimental design. We predicted that
 copulatory wounding in females should be positively related to male
 fertilization success. However, we found no significant correlation
 between genital tract scarring in females and male fertilization success.
 Male fertilization success was, however, positively related to the amount
 of ejaculate transferred by males and negatively related to female
 ejaculate dumping. Ablation of male genital jaws did not affect male
 relative fertilization success but resulted in a reduction in female egg
 production. Our results suggest that postmating sexual selection in males
 indeed favors these genital jaws, but not primarily through an elevated
 relative success in sperm competition but by increasing female egg
 production.

title: Data from: Spore germination determines yeast inbreeding according to fitness in the local environment

description: Gene combinations conferring local fitness may be destroyed by mating with
 individuals that are adapted to a different environment. This form of
 outbreeding depression provides an evolutionary incentive for
 self-fertilization. We show that the yeast Saccharomyces paradoxus tends
 to self-fertilize when it is well adapted to its local environment but
 tends to outcross when it is poorly adapted. This behavior could preserve
 combinations of genes when they are beneficial and break them up when they
 are not, thereby helping adaptation. Haploid spores must germinate before
 mating, and we found that fitter spores had higher rates of germination
 across a 24-hour period, increasing the probability that they mate with
 germinated spores from the same meiotic tetrad. The ability of yeast
 spores to detect local conditions before germinating and mating suggests
 the novel possibility that these gametes directly sense their own
 adaptation and plastically adjust their breeding strategy accordingly.

title: Data from: Resource heterogeneity, soil fertility, and species diversity: effects of clonal species on plant communities

description: Spatial heterogeneity in soil resources is widely thought to promote plant
 species coexistence, and this mechanism figures prominently in
 resource-ratio models of competition. However, most experimental studies
 have found that nutrient enhancements depress diversity regardless of
 whether nutrients are uniformly or heterogeneously applied. This mismatch
 between theory and empirical pattern is potentially due to an interaction
 between plant size and the scale of resource heterogeneity. Clonal plants
 that spread vegetatively via rhizomes or stolons can grow large and may
 integrate across resource patches, thus reducing the positive effect of
 small-scale resource heterogeneity on plant species richness. Many
 rhizomatous clonal species respond strongly to increased soil fertility,
 and they have been hypothesized to drive the descending arm of the
 hump-shaped productivity-diversity relationship in grasslands. We tested
 whether clonals reduce species richness in a grassland community by
 manipulating nutrient heterogeneity, soil fertility, and the presence of
 rhizomatous clonal species in a 6-year field experiment. We found strong
 and consistent negative effects of clonals on species richness. These
 effects were greatest at high fertility and when soil resources were
 applied at a scale at which rhizomatous clonals could integrate across
 resource patches. Thus, we find support for the hypothesis that plant size
 and resource heterogeneity interact to determine species diversity.

title: Data from: Stabilizing selection on individual pattern elements of aposematic signals

description: Warning signal variation is ubiquitous but paradoxical: low variability
 should aid recognition and learning by predators. However, spatial
 variability in the direction and strength of selection for individual
 elements of the warning signal may allow phenotypic variation for some
 components, but not others. Variation in selection may occur if predators
 only learn particular colour pattern components rather than the entire
 signal. Here, we used a nudibranch mollusc, Goniobranchus splendidus,
 which exhibits a conspicuous red spot/white body/yellow rim colour
 pattern, to test this hypothesis. We first demonstrated that secondary
 metabolites stored within the nudibranch were unpalatable to a marine
 organism. Using pattern analysis, we demonstrated that the yellow rim
 remained invariable within and between populations; however, red spots
 varied significantly in both colour and pattern. In behavioural
 experiments, a potential fish predator, Rhinecanthus aculeatus, used the
 presence of the yellow rims to recognize and avoid warning signals. Yellow
 rims remained stable in the presence of high genetic divergence among
 populations. We therefore suggest that how predators learn warning signals
 may cause stabilizing selection on individual colour pattern elements, and
 will thus have important implications on the evolution of warning signals.

title: Data from: Fish and tetrapod communities across a marine to brackish salinity gradient in the Pennsylvanian (early Moscovian) Minto Formation of New Brunswick, Canada, and their palaeoecological and palaeogeographical implications

description: Euryhaline adaptations in Pennsylvanian vertebrates allowed them to
 inhabit the marine to freshwater spectrum. This is illustrated by new
 assemblages of fish and tetrapods from the early Moscovian Minto Formation
 of New Brunswick, Canada. Fish include chondrichthyans (xenacanthids and
 the enigmatic Ageleodus), acanthodians (gyracanthids and acanthodiforms),
 sarcopterygians (rhizodontids, megalichthyids and dipnoans), and
 actinopterygians (eurynotiforms). Tetrapods include small- to
 medium-sized, and largely aquatic, stem tetrapods (colosteids) and
 anthracosaurs (embolomeres). A key finding is that the parautochthonous
 fossil assemblages are preserved across a salinity gradient, with
 diversity (measured by the Simpson Index) declining from open marine
 environments, through brackish embayments, and reaching a nadir in tidal
 estuaries. Chondrichthyans dominate the entire salinity spectrum (65% of
 fossils), a distribution that demonstrates a euryhaline mode of life, and
 one large predatory chondrichthyan, Orthacanthus, may have practised
 filial cannibalism in coastal nurseries because its heteropolar coprolites
 contain juvenile xenacanthid teeth. In contrast, other fish communities
 were more common in open marine settings while tetrapods were more common
 in coastal brackish waters. While all these faunas were also likely to
 have been euryhaline, their osmoregulation was, perhaps, less versatile.
 The demonstration of widespread euryhalinity among fish and aquatic
 tetrapods explains why Pennsylvanian faunas generally show a cosmopolitan
 biogeography because taxa were able to disperse via seaways. It also
 resolves the paradox of enriched strontium isotopic signatures observed in
 these faunas because organisms would have been, at times, exposed to
 continental water bodies as well. Therefore, our new findings contribute
 to the long-running debate about the ecology of Pennsylvanian fishes and
 tetrapods.

title: Data from: Spatial and temporal escape from fungal parasitism in natural communities of anciently asexual bdelloid rotifers

description: Sexual reproduction is costly, but it is nearly ubiquitous among plants
 and animals, whereas obligately asexual taxa are rare and almost always
 short-lived. The Red Queen hypothesis proposes that sex overcomes its
 costs by enabling organisms to keep pace with coevolving parasites and
 pathogens. If so, the few cases of stable long-term asexuality ought to be
 found in groups whose coevolutionary interactions with parasites are
 unusually weak. In theory, antagonistic coevolution will be attenuated if
 hosts disperse among patches within a metapopulation separately from
 parasites and more rapidly. We examined whether these conditions are met
 in natural communities of bdelloid rotifers, one of the longest-lived
 asexual lineages. At any life stage, these microscopic invertebrates can
 tolerate the complete desiccation of their ephemeral freshwater habitats,
 surviving as dormant propagules that are readily carried by the wind. In
 our field experiments, desiccation and wind transport enabled bdelloids to
 disperse independently of multiple fungal parasites, in both time and
 space. Surveys of bdelloid communities in unmanipulated moss patches
 confirmed that fungal parasitism was negatively correlated with extended
 drought and increasing height (exposure to wind). Bdelloid ecology
 therefore matches a key condition of models in which asexuals persist
 through spatio-temporal decoupling from coevolving enemies.

title: Data from: Seasonal flooding, topography, and organic debris interact to influence the emergence and distribution of seedlings in a tropical grassland

description: In seasonally flooded wetlands, natural disturbances such as flooding and
 associated organic debris deposition followed by a drawdown period provide
 various opportunities for plant species regeneration, which can promote
 plant community diversity across space and time. Specifically,
 regeneration may be influenced by the direct effect of flooding on seed
 dispersal and seedling emergence as well as the indirect effect of organic
 debris on seed trapping and germination. Our objective was to examine the
 influence of seasonal flooding, topography, and cover of organic debris on
 seedling distribution in seasonally flooded grassland of the Pantanal. We
 measured species richness and abundance of seedlings for three years at
 three topographic levels with variable coverage of organic debris at the
 end of the flood season, and during the dry season when there was no
 debris deposition. A total of 43 species were recorded with no difference
 in species richness between immediate post-flood and dry seasons. However,
 the abundance of some species was higher post-flood than during the dry
 period. The distribution of seedlings differed between topographic levels
 post-flood with the greatest seedling abundance and richness occurring at
 the medium level, followed by the high and finally the low level, this was
 due to the higher concentration of organic debris in the low-level. Our
 results indicate that areas with predictable annual floods promote the
 individual species adaptation for successful regeneration.

title: Data from: Experimental cross-fostering of eggs reveals effects of territory quality on reproductive allocation

description: Parental and territory quality are often correlated in territorial birds,
 and both factors influence the resources allocated to offspring.
 Surprisingly, the relative contribution of these two components of
 variation in parental investment remains obscure. We experimentally
 decoupled the normal covariation between parental quality and territory
 quality to test the hypothesis that territory quality influences female
 prenatal and postnatal reproductive allocation. Territories were
 categorized into low-, intermediate-, and high-quality based on fledging
 success of nests over the previous six years (nesting sites are fixed in
 space).To decouple covariation between territory quality and individual
 quality, nestbox entrance size was increased on high-quality territories
 and left small on poor-quality sites because house wrens (Troglodytes
 aedon) prefer small over large entrances to their nest sites. We found a
 significant prenatal effect of territory quality on nestling provisioning:
 when reared on intermediate-quality territories, nestlings hatching from
 eggs produced on low-quality territories were provisioned at a higher rate
 than those hatching from eggs produced on high-quality territories. We
 propose that the increased provisioning was brought about by increased
 nestling begging mediated by a maternally derived compound, such as
 corticosterone, transferred to the eggs of stressed females in
 poor-quality habitat.
