title: Data from: Biocontrol in insecticide sprayed crops does not benefit from semi-natural habitats and recovers slowly after spraying

description: 1. To enhance biological pest control in crop fields, it is recommended to
 increase semi-natural area on farm and decrease insecticide spraying.
 While the benefits of semi-natural area for biocontrol in unsprayed fields
 are often demonstrated, it remains largely unknown if there are any
 benefits in real world, commonly sprayed crops. 2. Here, we explored the
 combined effects of semi-natural field margins and insecticide spraying on
 pest (cotton bollworm) egg predation in 53 Australian cotton fields and
 semi-natural field margins across two years. We used predation experiments
 close to field edges to exclude functional groups of predators depending
 on their spatio-temporal activity (diurnal vs. nocturnal and ground vs.
 canopy dwelling) and digital cameras to record natural enemy taxa
 responsible for predation. 3. Ground predation was substantially higher
 than canopy predation and its magnitude in unsprayed crops with
 semi-natural margins was similar to that within semi-natural areas. In
 contrast, semi-natural field margins did not benefit biocontrol in sprayed
 crop fields and did not influence recovery rate of biocontrol after
 spraying. 4. Within ground-dwelling predators, one dominant taxon
 contributed the most to biocontrol at a particular time and place.
 However, the dominant predator-prey interactions changed between day and
 night and fields with and without margins, thus indicating increased
 importance of additional predator taxa with increasing spatio-temporal
 scales. 5. Synthesis and applications: Overall, our results show that
 semi-natural margins benefit pest control only in unsprayed fields.
 Spraying at different time (e.g. during night) would not reduce the
 negative effects of insecticides because it would affect complementary
 group of nocturnal natural enemies that exert equally high biocontrol as
 diurnal ground-dwelling predators. We highlight the need for management
 recommendations to simultaneously consider pros and cons of within field
 spraying and surrounding semi-natural habitats to maximize their benefits
 in high input conventional production systems.23-May-2019

title: Data from: Crop feeding by brown howlers (Alouatta guariba clamitans) in forest fragments: the conservation value of cultivated species

description: Primates inhabiting human-modified habitats often complement their diets
 with cultivated species. Although this flexible foraging behavior reduces
 feeding stress in animals inhabiting small or low-quality habitats, its
 potential economic costs may promote negative human–nonhuman primate
 interactions. It is critical to assess the importance of cultivated
 species to primate diets, the factors influencing their exploitation, and
 their associated economic costs to evaluate the conservation value of
 cultivated species and the impact of crop feeding on human–nonhuman
 primate coexistence. Based on a 30-months study of three groups of brown
 howlers (Alouatta guariba clamitans) inhabiting &lt;10-ha forest
 fragments in Rio Grande do Sul State, southern Brazil, and semistructured
 interviews with landowners, we assessed 1) the cultivated species used as
 food sources, 2) the relationship between food availability and crop
 feeding, and 3) the potential economic costs of crop feeding and their
 impact on landowner–howler coexistence. Brown howlers exploited six
 cultivated species as fruit or seed sources. This exploitation was
 concentrated on ripe fruit of Psidium guajava, Citrus reticulata,
 Diospyros kaki, and Eriobotrya japonica, which together accounted for up
 to 32% of total feeding records during some months. Availability predicted
 fruit consumption for three of these species. The overall availability of
 cultivated fruit also predicted its consumption, whereas overall wild
 fruit availability did not. Despite potential economic costs of crop
 feeding (US$320–US$1141 per year), landowners reported no conflict with
 howlers arising from their behavior, an amicable response that supports
 the conservation value of cultivated plants in different landscape
 elements of the anthropogenic matrix.

title: Data from: Northernmost distribution of the Andean bear (Tremarctos ornatus) in South America, and fragmentation of its associated Andean forest and Paramo ecosystems

description: Current northernmost distribution of the Andean bear (Tremarctos ornatus)
 is not defined precisely; mentioned to be located “at the Serranía del
 Perijá” without accurate/confirmed distribution records, and placed by the
 IUCN at the Serranía de Portuguesa (Venezuela). There is an information
 gap on the fragmentation of the Andean bear associated ecosystems (Andean
 forest and Paramo) throughout its distribution in Colombia and Venezuela.
 The aim of this study is to provide precise knowledge on the current
 northernmost distribution of the Andean bear in South America at the
 Serranía del Perijá, besides quantifying spatial trends of the
 fragmentation of its associated ecosystems at the eastern and western
 slopes. Confirmed distribution records were obtained from field surveys
 (2009 to 2016), literature, scientific collections and biodiversity
 databases. The fragmentation degree of Andean bear associated ecosystems
 was characterized using FRAGSTATS (V 4.2) software with satellite images
 from 2008. A current population block with at least three sectors of
 incidence is present along both slopes of the Serranía del Perijá.
 Although the Colombian slope comprises greater raw area of Andean bear
 associated ecosystems, it is highly fragmented and isolated. Core area
 analysis (extracting a disturbance buffer of 1,000 m into the border of
 each patch) exhibits a Venezuelan slope maintaining greater amount of
 Andean bear associated ecosystems at few, large and less fragmented
 patches. This study extends the distribution of the species 180 km until
 the north of the Serranía del Perijá (regarding the current distribution
 recognized by the IUCN) and provides the northernmost confirmed
 distribution records for South America: Barrancas (Colombia) and Mara
 (Venezuela) municipalities. This study provides the first fine-scale
 information on Andean bear associated ecosystems fragmentation for
 Colombia and Venezuela, with traceable landscape measurements permitting
 future long-term comparative analyses. A high fragmentation degree of the
 Andean bear associated ecosystems is present at the Colombian slope of the
 Serranía del Perijá due to extensive legal and illegal agricultural
 activities and wood extraction. The lack of information about the Andean
 bear distribution and its associated ecosystems fragmentation could be
 putting the survival of local populations at risk, while a clear knowledge
 on these issues could generate planned conservation actions by the
 governmental environmental authorities.

title: Data from: A global dataset for economic losses of extreme hydrological events during 1960-2014

description: A comprehensive dataset of extreme hydrological events (EHEs) – floods and
 droughts, consisting of 2,171 occurrences worldwide, during 1960‐2014 was
 compiled, and then their economic losses were normalized using a price
 index in U.S. dollar. The dataset showed a significant increasing trend of
 EHEs before 2000, while a slight post‐2000 decline. Correspondingly, the
 EHEs‐caused economic losses increased obviously before 2000 followed by a
 slight decrease; the post‐2000 decline could be partially attributed to
 the decreases in drought and flood‐prone area, or climate adaptation
 practices. Spatially, Asia experienced most EHEs (969), corresponding to
 the largest share of economic losses (approximately $868 billion for
 floods and $50 billion for droughts, respectively), while Oceania had the
 least EHEs (102) and the least economic losses (approximately $19 billion
 for floods and $45 billion for droughts). The five countries with the
 highest EHE‐caused economic losses were China, USA, Canada, Australia, and
 India. Countries that suffered the highest flood‐caused economic losses
 were China, USA, and Canada. This dataset provides a quantitative linkage
 between climate science and economic losses at a global scale; and it is
 beneficial for the regional climatic impact assessments and strategical
 development for mitigating climate change impacts.

title: Data from: Adjustable temperature array for characterising ecological and evolutionary effects on thermal physiology

description: 1. To accurately characterise a species’ thermal niche and aid in
 predicting effects of climate change we must not only include information
 on thermal tolerances and physiological responses to changing
 temperatures, but also incorporate ecological effects and evolutionary
 processes that may shape a species’ niche. However, quickly and
 practically collecting data on key factors such as adaptation potential,
 behaviour, effects of species interactions, plasticity, and thermal
 tolerances is logistically challenging. 2. We have therefore created an
 adjustable temperature array (ATA) to assist with experimental ecology and
 evolution research. ATA’s are a row of independent temperature points
 controlled and set by the user and made from commercially-available parts.
 This allows the user to create unique thermal landscapes relevant to their
 study organism(s) and question(s). Further, the option of using an
 enclosed cage allows the user to answer questions at the individual,
 population, or community level in the context of changing thermal
 environments. ATA’s are able to be user-set to constant or dynamic
 temperature regimes and are designed for use on small animals (e.g., fruit
 flies, beetles, mosquitoes) or plants (e.g., germinating seeds). 3. We
 have tested and confirmed the accuracy of the ATA to several thermal
 landscapes that would be useful for experimental ecology and evolution,
 including: 1) coarse resolution of a broad thermal niche ranging from 12°
 to 42°C in 2°C intervals (R2= 0.998); 2) fine resolution of a narrow
 thermal niche ranging from 15° to 32°C in 1°C intervals (R2= 0.997); 3) a
 pyramid-shaped niche consisting of a gradient from 14° to 30°C in 2°C
 intervals (R2 = 0.997); and 4) a very narrow thermal niche with replicate
 thermal resources ranging from 26.5° to 34°C in 1.5°C. intervals (R2=
 0.989). 4. The equipment described here is an important tool for thermal
 niche studies and will aid in gathering information on effects of
 ecological and evolutionary processes to create a comprehensive picture of
 species responses to climate change.

title: Data from: Introduced parasite changes host phenotype, mating signal and hybridisation risk: Philornis downsi effects on Darwin’s finch song

description: Introduced parasites that alter their host’s mating signal can change the
 evolutionary trajectory of a species through sexual selection. Darwin’s
 Camarhynchus finches are threatened by the introduced fly Philornis downsi
 that is thought to have accidentally arrived on the Galapagos Islands
 during the 1960s. The P. downsi larvae feed on the blood and tissue of
 developing finches causing on average ~55 % in-nest mortality and enlarged
 naris size in survivors. Here we test if enlarged naris size is associated
 with song characteristics and vocal deviation in the small tree finch
 (Camarhynchus parvulus), the critically endangered medium tree finch (C.
 pauper), and the recently observed hybrid tree finch group (Camarhynchus
 hybrids). Male C. parvulus and C. pauper with enlarged naris size produced
 song with lower maximum frequency and greater vocal deviation, but there
 was no significant association in hybrids. Less vocal deviation predicted
 faster pairing success in both parental species. Finally, C. pauper males
 with normal naris size produced species-specific song, but male C. pauper
 with enlarged naris size had song that was indistinguishable from other
 tree finches. When parasites disrupt host mating signal, they may also
 facilitate hybridisation. Here we show how parasite-induced naris
 enlargement affects vocal quality resulting in blurred species mating
 signals.

title: Data from: A citation-based map of concepts in invasion biology

description: Invasion biology has been quickly expanding in the last decades, so that
 it is now metaphorically flooded with publications, concepts and
 hypotheses. Among experts, there is no clear consensus about the
 relationships between invasion concepts, and almost no one seems to have a
 good overview of the literature anymore. Similar observations can be made
 for other research fields. Science needs new navigation tools, so that
 researchers within and outside of a research field as well as science
 journalists, students, teachers, practitioners, policy-makers and others
 interested in the field can more easily understand its key ideas. Such
 navigation tools could, for example, be maps of the major concepts and
 hypotheses of a research field. Applying a bibliometric method, we created
 such maps for invasion biology. We analysed research papers of the last
 two decades citing at least two of 35 common invasion hypotheses.
 Co-citation analysis yields four distinct clusters of hypotheses. These
 clusters can describe the main directions in invasion biology and explain
 basic driving forces behind biological invasions. The method we outline
 here for invasion biology can be easily applied for other research fields.

title: Data from: Population genomics and demographic sampling of the ant-plant Vachellia drepanolobium and its symbiotic ants from sites across its range in East Africa.

description: The association between the African ant plant, Vachellia drepanolobium,
 and the ants that inhabit it has provided insight into the boundaries
 between mutualism and parasitism, the response of symbioses to
 environmental perturbations, and the ecology of species coexistence. We
 use a landscape genomics approach at sites sampled throughout the range of
 this system in Kenya to investigate the demographics and genetic structure
 of the different partners in the association. We find that different
 species of ant associates of V. drepanolobium show striking differences in
 their spatial distribution throughout Kenya, and these differences are
 only partly correlated with abiotic factors. A comparison of the
 population structure of the host plant and its three obligately arboreal
 ant symbionts, Crematogaster mimosae, Crematogaster nigriceps, and
 Tetraponera penzigi, shows that the ants exhibit somewhat similar patterns
 of structure throughout each of their respective ranges, but that this
 does not correlate in any clear way with the respective genetic structure
 of the populations of their host plants. A lack of evidence for local
 coadaptation in this system suggests that all partners have evolved to
 cope with a wide variety of biotic and abiotic conditions.

title: Data from: Pipefish embryo oxygenation, survival and development: egg size, male size and temperature effects

description: In animals with uniparental care, the quality of care provided by one sex
 can deeply impact the reproductive success of both sexes. Studying
 variation in parental care quality within a species and which factors may
 affect it can therefore shed important light on patterns of mate choice
 and other reproductive decisions observed in nature. Using Syngnathus
 typhle, a pipefish species with extensive uniparental male care, with
 embryos developing inside a brood pouch during a lengthy pregnancy, we
 assessed how egg size (which correlates positively with female size), male
 size and water temperature affect brooding traits that relate to male care
 quality, all measured on day 18, approximately 1/3, of the brooding
 period. We found that larger males brooded eggs at lower densities, and
 their embryos were heavier than those of small males independent of
 initial egg size. However, large males had lower embryo survival relative
 to small males. We found no effect of egg size or of paternal size on
 within-pouch oxygen levels, but oxygen levels were significantly higher in
 the bottom than the middle section of the pouch. Males that brooded at
 higher temperatures had lower pouch oxygen levels presumably because of
 higher embryo developmental rates, as more developed embryos consume more
 oxygen. Together, our results suggest that small and large males follow
 distinct paternal strategies: large males positively affect embryo size
 while small males favour embryo survival. As females prefer large mates,
 offspring size at independence may be more important to female fitness
 than offspring survival during development.

title: Data from: Sexual selection and the evolution of male and female cognition: a test using experimental evolution in seed beetles

description: The mating system is thought to be important in shaping animal
 intelligence and sexual selection has been depicted as a driver of
 cognitive evolution, either directly by promoting superior cognitive
 ability during mate competition, or indirectly via genic capture of
 sexually selected traits. However, it remains unclear if intensified
 sexual selection leads to general improvements in cognitive abilities.
 Here, we evaluated this hypothesis by applying experimental evolution in
 seed beetles. Replicate lines, maintained for 35 generations of either
 enforced monogamy (eliminating sexual selection) or polygamy, were
 challenged to locate and discriminate among mates (male assays) or host
 seeds (female assays) in a spatial chemo-sensory learning task. All lines
 displayed learning between trials. Moreover, polygamous males outperformed
 monogamous males, providing evidence that sexual selection can lead to the
 evolution of improved male cognition. However, there were no differences
 between regimes in rates of male learning, and polygamous females showed
 no improvement in host search and even signs of reduced learning. Hence,
 sexual selection increased performance in cognitively demanding mate
 search, but it did not lead to general increases in cognitive abilities.
 We discuss the possibility that sexually antagonistic selection is an
 important factor maintaining abundant genetic variation in cognitive
 traits.

title: Data from: Anatomical diversification of a skeletal novelty in bat feet

description: Neomorphic, membrane-associated skeletal rods are found in disparate
 vertebrate lineages, but their evolution is poorly understood. Here we
 show that one of these elements—the calcar of bats (Chiroptera)—is a
 skeletal novelty that has anatomically diversified. Comparisons of
 evolutionary models of calcar length and corresponding
 disparity-through-time analyses indicate that the calcar diversified early
 in the evolutionary history of Chiroptera, as bats phylogenetically
 diversified after evolving the capacity for flight. This interspecific
 variation in calcar length and its relative proportion to tibia and
 forearm length is of functional relevance to flight-related behaviors. We
 also find that the calcar varies in its tissue composition among bats,
 which might affect its response to mechanical loading. We confirm the
 presence of a synovial joint at the articulation between the calcar and
 the calcaneus in some species, which suggests the calcar has a kinematic
 functional role. Collectively, this functionally-relevant variation
 suggests that adaptive advantages provided by the calcar led to its
 anatomical diversification. Our results demonstrate that novel skeletal
 additions can become integrated into vertebrate body plans and
 subsequently evolve into a variety of forms, potentially impacting clade
 diversification by expanding the available morphological space into which
 organisms can evolve.
