title: Data from: Sexual selection on female ornaments in the sex-role-reversed Gulf pipefish (Syngnathus scovelli)

description: Understanding how selection acts on traits individually and in combination
 is an important step in deciphering the mechanisms driving evolutionary
 change, but for most species, and especially those in which sexual
 selection acts more strongly on females than on males, we have no
 estimates of selection coefficients pertaining to the multivariate
 sexually selected phenotype. Here, we use a laboratory-based mesocosm
 experiment to quantify pre- and post-mating selection on female secondary
 sexual traits in the Gulf pipefish (Syngnathus scovelli), a sexually
 dimorphic, sex-role-reversed species in which ornamented females compete
 for access to choosy males. We calculate selection differentials and
 gradients on female traits, including ornament area, ornament number and
 body size for three episodes of selection related to female reproductive
 success (number of mates, number of eggs transferred and number of
 surviving embryos). Selection is strong on both ornament area and ornament
 size, and the majority of selection occurs during the premating episode of
 selection. Interestingly, selection on female body size, which has been
 detected in previous studies of Gulf pipefish, appears to be indirect, as
 evidenced by a multivariate analysis of selection gradients. Our results
 show that sexual selection favours either many bands or larger bands in
 female Gulf pipefish.

title: Data from: Equivalent effect of UV coloration and vibratory signal on mating success in a jumping spider

description: Ultraviolet (UV; wavelengths: 280–400 nm) colouration has been shown to be
 an important visual signal but has not been studied in conjunction with
 other signals such as vibratory signals previously. Here we investigated
 multimodal signal function in the visual and substrate-borne vibratory
 modalities of the UV-ornamented jumping spider Cosmophasis umbratica, in
 which the importance of UV colouration in courtship displays has been
 demonstrated. We first described vibratory signals produced by courting
 males. We found that while vibratory signals mainly consist of palp
 drumming and abdomen thump, amplitude of abdomen thump shows a high
 variance and is positively correlated with body mass. This suggests that
 abdomen thump as a vibratory component may be condition-dependent. To
 examine whether the vibratory and UV signal function as backup to each
 other in a variable environment (efficacy-based backup hypothesis), we
 used a fully crossed 2 × 2 mating assay, a signal-isolation approach, to
 investigate how isolated and combined signals affect mate choice by
 females. Our results showed that both signals in isolation or in
 combination result in similar female responses (i.e., mating success,
 latency to copulation, female attention ratio). The presence of both
 vibratory and UV signals affects mating frequency, with no significant
 differences in mating frequency when vibratory and UV signals are
 presented in isolation or in combination. These results support the
 efficacy-based backup hypothesis. We therefore conclude that vibratory and
 UV signals have equivalent effects in predicting mating success in C.
 umbratica.

title: Data from: Validation and utilization of amended diagnostic criteria in Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease surveillance

description: Objective: To validate an amended protocol for clinical diagnosis of
 sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (sCJD) including Real-Time
 Quaking-induced Conversion (RT-QuIC) and to observe its utilization in CJD
 surveillance. Methods: In the framework of a prospective epidemiological
 study, all neuropathological confirmed sCJD cases that received CSF
 RT-QuIC analysis during diagnostic work up (n=65) and a control group of
 non- CJD cases (n=118) were selected to investigate the accuracy of an
 amended diagnostic protocol. The patients had been referred to the German
 National Reference Center for Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies.
 The influence of the amended protocol on incidence figures was evaluated
 in the context of three years of surveillance activity (screened cases
 using 14-3-3 test: n=18.789, highly suspicious cases of CJD: n=704).
 Annual incidences were calculated using current criteria and the amended
 protocol. Results: The amended protocol showed a sensitivity of 97% and a
 specificity of 99%. When it was applied to all suspected cases that were
 referred to the reference center, the assessed incidence of CJD increased
 from 1.7 to 2.2 per million in 2016. Conclusion: CJD surveillance remains
 challenging as information from external healthcare institutions can be
 limited. RT-QuIC shows excellent diagnostic accuracy when applied in the
 clinical setting to symptomatic patients. Data for RT-QuIC alone, when
 applied as a general screening test, are not available yet. We propose an
 amended research protocol which improves early and accurate clinical
 diagnosis of sCJD during surveillance activities. The utilization of this
 protocol will probably lead to a significant increase of the incidence
 rate.

title: Data from: Sexual imprinting and speciation in two Peromyscus species

description: Sexual isolation, a reproductive barrier, can prevent interbreeding
 between diverging populations or species. Sexual isolation can have a
 clear genetic basis; however, it may also result from learned mate
 preferences that form via sexual imprinting. Here, we demonstrate that two
 sympatric sister species of mice—the white-footed mouse (Peromyscus
 leucopus) and its closest relative, the cotton mouse (P.
 gossypinus)—hybridize only rarely in the wild despite co-occurring in the
 same habitat and lack of any measurable intrinsic postzygotic barriers in
 laboratory crosses. We present evidence that strong conspecific mate
 preferences in each species form significant sexual isolation. We find
 that these mating preferences are learned in one species but may be
 genetic in the other: P. gossypinus sexually imprints on its parents, but
 innate biases or social learning affects mating preferences in P.
 leucopus. Our study demonstrates that sexually imprinting contributes to
 reproductive isolation that reduces hybridization between otherwise
 inter-fertile species, supporting a previously underappreciated role for
 learning in mammalian speciation.

title: Data from: Consumer-resource interactions along urbanization gradients drive natural selection

description: Urbanization is an important component of global change. Urbanization
 affects species interactions, but the evolutionary implications are rarely
 studied. We investigate the evolutionary consequences of a common pattern:
 the loss of high trophic-level species in urban areas. Using a
 gall-forming fly, Eurosta solidaginis, and its natural enemies that select
 for opposite gall sizes, we test for patterns of enemy loss, selection,
 and local adaptation along five urbanization gradients. Eurosta declined
 in urban areas, as did predation by birds, which preferentially consume
 gallmakers that induce large galls. These declines were linked to changes
 in habitat availability, namely reduced forest cover in urban areas.
 Conversely, a parasitoid which attacks gallmakers that induce small galls
 was unaffected by urbanization. Changes in patterns of attack by birds and
 parasitoids resulted in stronger directional selection, but loss of
 stabilizing selection in urban areas, a pattern which we suggest may be
 general. Despite divergent selective regimes, gall size did not very
 systematically with urbanization, suggesting but not conclusively
 demonstrating that environmental differences, gene flow, or drift, may
 have prevented the adaptive divergence of phenotypes. We argue that the
 evolutionary effects of urbanization will have predictable consequences
 for patterns of species interactions and natural selection.

title: Data from: Morphological and molecular characterization within 26 strains of the genus Cylindrospermum (Nostocaceae, Cyanobacteria), with descriptions of three new species

description: Twenty-six strains morphologically identified as Cylindrospermum as well
 as the closely related taxon Cronbergia siamensis were examined
 microscopically as well as phylogenetically using sequence data for the
 16S rRNA gene and the 16S-23S ITS region. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S
 rRNA revealed three distinct clades. The clade we designate as
 Cylindrospermum sensu stricto had all five of the foundational species, C.
 maius, C. stagnale, C. licheniforme, C. muscicola, and C. catenatum. In
 addition to these taxa, three species new to science in this clade were
 described: C. badium, C. moravicum, and C. pellucidum. Our evidence
 indicates that Cronbergia is a later synonym of Cylindrospermum. The
 phylogenetic position of Cylindrospermum within the Nostocaceae was not
 clearly resolved in our analyses. Cylindrospermum is unusual among
 cyanobacterial genera in that the morphological diversity appears to be
 more evident than sequence divergence. Taxa were clearly separable using
 morphology, but had very high percent similarity among ribosomal
 sequences. Given the high diversity we noted in this study, we conclude
 that there is likely much more diversity remaining to be described in this
 genus.

title: Data from: The role of a dominant predator in shaping biodiversity over space and time in a marine ecosystem

description: 1. Exploitation of living marine resources has resulted in major changes
 to populations of targeted species and functional groups of large-bodied
 species in the ocean. However, the effects of overfishing and collapse of
 large top predators on the broad-scale biodiversity of oceanic ecosystems
 remain largely unexplored. 2. Populations of the Atlantic cod (Gadus
 morhua) were overfished and several collapsed in the early 1990s across
 Atlantic Canada, providing a unique opportunity to study potential
 ecosystem-level effects of the reduction of a dominant predator on fish
 biodiversity, and to identify how such effects might interact with other
 environmental factors, such as changes in climate, over time. 3. We
 combined causal modelling with model selection and multimodel inference to
 analyse 41 years of fishery-independent survey data (1970–2010) and
 quantify ecosystem-level effects of overfishing and climate variation on
 the biodiversity of fishes across a broad area (172 000 km2) of the
 Scotian Shelf. 4. We found that alpha and beta diversity increased with
 decreases in cod occurrence; fish communities were less homogeneous and
 more variable in systems where cod no longer dominated. These effects were
 most pronounced in the colder north-eastern parts of the Scotian Shelf. 5.
 Our results provide strong evidence that intensive harvesting (and
 collapse) of marine apex predators can have large impacts on biodiversity,
 with far-reaching consequences for ecological stability across an entire
 ecosystem.

title: Data from: Seed supply, recruitment, and assembly: quantifying relative seed and establishment limitation in a plant community context

description: There is growing consensus that the relative constraints of seed
 limitation and establishment limitation in recruitment strongly influence
 abundance patterns in plant communities. Although these constraints have
 direct relevance to coexistence, most investigations utilize a seed
 addition approach that offers limited insight into these dynamics. Here we
 report results of an assembly experiment with annual plant species of
 California grasslands to examine how propagule pool characteristics
 (dominant species abundance, functional diversity) influence establishment
 and seed limitation (density independence and density dependence across a
 gradient of seed supply) for each species, and how these constraints
 affect community diversity. Species were predominantly co-limited by seed
 and establishment constraints, exhibiting saturating recruitment functions
 with increased seed supply. Consistent with competition-colonization
 trade-off predictions, recruitment constraints often depended on the
 degree of seed limitation of the competitive dominant, Brassica nigra;
 diversity was greatest in communities where Brassica was seed limited.
 Functional similarity within the propagule pool did not affect recruitment
 across a range of seed supply; likewise, functional diversity of the
 propagule pool was not related to community diversity. We conclude that
 seed limitation of the dominant species rather than niche similarity
 influences interspecific competition for safe sites and scales up to
 affect community-level diversity.

title: Data from: Testing the link between phenotypic evolution and speciation: an integrated paleontological and phylogenetic analysis

description: 1. The punctuated equilibrium model predicts that phenotypic change is
 concentrated into pulses associated with speciation, with little change
 otherwise accruing in established lineages. Paleontological tests of this
 model have generally lacked an adequate phylogenetic and modeling
 framework, whereas tests relying on extant populations lack direct
 constraints on the evolutionary dynamics within lineages. 2. The present
 study extends a modeling approach developed in comparative studies and
 applies it to a clade with a rich fossil record, the deep-sea ostracode
 genus Poseidonamicus. Using a phylogenetic framework and an independent
 set of shape traits plus body size, a model was fit that allows estimation
 of anagenetic (within-lineage) evolution, cladogenetic (speciational)
 change, and geographic variation within species. 3. Maximum-likelihood
 parameter estimates suggested dominantly speciational change for only one
 or two shape traits, depending on model assumptions. For the remaining
 shape traits and body size, the contribution of anagenesis was always
 substantial. Confidence limits on these solutions were quite broad (though
 narrower when multiple traits were analyzed jointly), with most traits
 consistent with both strongly anagenetic and strongly cladogenetic change.
 4. Whereas uncertainty about phylogenetic topology and species limits has
 little influence on the conclusions, assuming stasis instead of Brownian
 motion within lineages shifted support to solutions in which speciational
 change was more dominant, although several traits remained dominantly
 explained by anagenetic evolution. 5. These results suggest that for the
 traits and taxa examined, anagenesis contributes substantially to
 long-term divergence. The uncertainty in the results highlights the
 analytical difficulty of decomposing anagenetic and cladogenetic sources
 of phenotypic evolution, even with fossil constraints. When model
 uncertainty is taken into account, the task of doing so using observations
 from entirely extant populations is even more daunting.
