title: Data from: Hierarchical behaviour, habitat use and species size differences shape evolutionary outcomes of hybridization in a coral reef fish.

description: Hybridization is an important evolutionary process, with ecological and
 behavioural factors influencing gene exchange between hybrids and parent
 species. Patterns of hybridization in anemonefishes may result from living
 in highly specialized habitats and breeding status regulated by size-based
 hierarchal social groups. Here morphological, ecological and genetic
 analyses in Kimbe Bay, Papua New Guinea examine the hybrid status of
 Amphiprion leucokranos, a nominal species and presumed hybrid between
 Amphiprion sandaracinos and Amphiprion chrysopterus. We test the
 hypothesis that habitat use and relative size differences of the parent
 species and hybrids determine patterns of gene exchange. There is strong
 evidence that A. leucokranos is a hybrid of smaller A. sandaracinos and
 larger A. chrysopterus, where A. chrysopterus is exclusively the mother to
 each hybrid, based on mtDNA cytochrome b and multiple nDNA microsatellite
 loci. Overlap in habitat, depth and host anemone use was found, with
 hybrids intermediate to parents and co-habitation in over 25% of anemones
 sampled. Hybrids, intermediate in body size, colour and pattern, were
 classified 55% of the time as morphologically first generation hybrids
 relative to parents, whereas 45% of hybrids were more A.
 sandaracinos-like, suggesting back-crossing. Unidirectional introgression
 of A. chrysopterus mtDNA into A. sandaracinos via hybrid backcrosses was
 found, with larger female hybrids and small male A. sandaracinos mating.
 Potential nDNA introgression was also evident through distinct
 intermediate hybrid genotypes penetrating both parent species. Findings
 support the hypothesis that anemonefish hierarchical behaviour, habitat
 use, and species-specific size differences determine how hybrids form and
 the evolutionary consequences of hybridization.

title: Data from: Microsatellite analysis of museum specimens reveals historical differences in genetic diversity between declining and more stable Bombus species

description: Worldwide most pollinators, e.g. bumblebees, are undergoing global
 declines. Loss of genetic diversity can play an essential role in these
 observed declines. In this paper, we investigated the level of genetic
 diversity of seven declining Bombus species and four more stable species
 with the use of microsatellite loci. Hereto we genotyped a unique
 collection of museum specimens. Specimens were collected between 1918 and
 1926, in 6 provinces of the Netherlands which allowed us to make
 interspecific comparisons of genetic diversity. For the stable species B.
 pascuorum, we also selected populations from two additional time periods:
 1949–1955 and 1975–1990. The genetic diversity and population structure in
 B. pascuorum remained constant over the three time periods. However,
 populations of declining bumblebee species showed a significantly lower
 genetic diversity than co-occurring stable species before their major
 declines. This historical difference indicates that the repeatedly
 observed reduced genetic diversity in recent populations of declining
 bumblebee species is not caused solely by the decline itself. The
 historically low genetic diversity in the declined species may be due to
 the fact that these species were already rare, making them more vulnerable
 to the major drivers of bumblebee decline.

title: Data from: Staying with the young enhances the fathers’ attractiveness in burying beetles

description: Studying the relationship between parental and mating effort helps us to
 understand the evolution of parental care and, consequently, has been the
 subject of many theoretical and empirical investigations. Using burying
 beetles as a model, we found no correlation between the intensity of a
 sexual signal (sex pheromone quantity) and the amount of care provided by
 males. However, males that were given the opportunity to breed and care
 for young went on to produce a higher amount of their sexual signal and
 attracted three times more females in the field than control males that
 were not given the opportunity to breed. The likely explanation for our
 finding is that specific aspects of care in burying beetles, that is the
 defense and preservation of a nutrient rich breeding resource, a small
 vertebrate cadaver, is not only beneficial for the offspring but also for
 the adults themselves. Obtaining a good carrion meal possibly enables
 males to store resources that they can subsequently allocate toward sexual
 signaling. Collectively, our results highlight that conditions can exist
 where male participation in brood care has a positive effect on its sexual
 attractiveness. This in turn might have facilitated the evolution of male
 assistance in parental care.

title: Data from: Evaluating effective population size and genetic diversity of a declining kit fox population using contemporary and historical specimens

description: Loss of genetic diversity has serious conservation consequences (e.g.,
 loss of adaptive potential, reduced population viability), but is
 difficult to evaluate without developing long-term, multigenerational
 datasets. Alternatively, historical samples can provide insights into
 changes in genetic diversity and effective population size (Ne). Kit foxes
 (Vulpes macrotis) are a species of conservation concern across much of
 their range. In western Utah, kit fox abundance has declined precipitously
 from historical levels, causing concern about population persistence. We
 analyzed genetic samples from museum specimens and contemporary scats to
 evaluate temporal changes in (i) genetic diversity and (ii) Ne for kit
 foxes in western Utah, and (iii) discuss our findings with respect to
 population risk and conservation. The Ne of kit foxes in western Utah has
 decreased substantially. When compared to established conservation
 thresholds for Ne (e.g., the 50/500 rule), observed levels suggest the
 population may be at risk of inbreeding depression and local extinction.
 In contrast, we found no significant decrease in genetic diversity
 associated with declining Ne. We detected evidence of low levels of
 immigration into the population and suspect genetic diversity may have
 been maintained by this previously undescribed gene flow from adjacent
 populations. Low or intermittent immigration may serve to temper the
 potential short-term negative consequences of low Ne. We recommend that
 kit fox conservation efforts focus on evaluating and maintaining landscape
 connectivity. We demonstrate how historical specimens can provide a
 baseline of comparison for contemporary populations, highlighting the
 importance of natural history collections to conservation during a period
 of declining funding and support.

title: Data from: Adaptive developmental plasticity in rhesus macaques: the serotonin transporter gene interacts with maternal care to affect juvenile social behaviour

description: Research has increasingly highlighted the role that developmental
 plasticity-the ability of a particular genotype to produce variable
 phenotypes in response to different early environments-plays as an
 adaptive mechanism. One of the most widely studied genetic contributors to
 developmental plasticity in humans and rhesus macaques is a serotonin
 transporter gene-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR), which determines
 transcriptional efficiency of the serotonin transporter gene in-vitro and
 modifies the availability of synaptic serotonin in these species. A
 majority of studies to date have shown that carriers of a loss-of-function
 variant of the 5-HTTLPR, the short (s) allele, develop a stress-reactive
 phenotype in response to adverse early environments compared to long (l)
 allele homozygotes, leading to the prevalent conceptualization of the
 s-allele as a vulnerability allele. However, this framework fails to
 address the independent evolution of these loss-of-function mutations in
 both humans and macaques as well as the high population prevalence of
 s-alleles in both species. Here we show in free-ranging rhesus macaques
 that s-allele carriers benefit more from supportive early social
 environments than l-allele homozygotes, such that s-allele carriers which
 receive higher levels of maternal protection during infancy demonstrate
 greater social competence later in life. These findings provide the first
 empirical support for the assertion that the s-allele grants high
 undirected biological sensitivity to context in primates and suggest a
 mechanism through which the 5-HTTLPR s-allele is maintained in primate
 populations.

title: Data from: Genetic variation and structure in contrasting geographic distributions: widespread vs. restricted black-tailed prairie dogs (subgenus Cynomys)

description: Species of restricted distribution are considered more vulnerable to
 extinction because of low levels of genetic variation relative to
 widespread taxa. Species of the subgenus Cynomys are an excellent system
 to compare genetic variation and degree of genetic structure in
 contrasting geographic distributions. We assessed levels of genetic
 variation, genetic structure, and genetic differentiation in widespread
 Cynomys ludovicianus and restricted C. mexicanus using 1997bp from the
 cytochrome b and control region (n = 223 C. ludovicianus; 77 C.
 mexicanus), and 10 nuclear microsatellite loci (n = 207 and 78,
 respectively). Genetic variation for both species was high, and genetic
 structure in the widespread species was higher than in the restricted
 species. C. mexicanus showed values of genetic variation, genetic
 structure, and genetic differentiation similar to C. ludovicianus at
 smaller geographic scales. Results suggest the presence of at least 2
 historical refuges for C. ludovicianus and that the Sierra Madre
 Occidental represents a barrier to gene flow. Chihuahua and New Mexico
 possess high levels of genetic diversity and should be protected, while
 Sonora should be treated as an independent management unit. For C.
 mexicanus, connectivity among colonies is very important and habitat
 fragmentation and habitat loss should be mitigated to maintain gene flow.

title: Data from: Interspecific competition promotes habitat and morphological divergence in a secondary contact zone between two hybridizing songbirds

description: Interspecific competition is assumed to play an important role in the
 ecological differentiation of species and speciation. However, empirical
 evidence for competition’s role in speciation remains surprisingly scarce.
 Here we studied the role of interspecific competition in the ecological
 differentiation and speciation of two closely related songbird species,
 the Common Nightingale (Luscinia megarhynchos) and the Thrush Nightingale
 (L. luscinia). Both species are insectivorous and ecologically very
 similar. They hybridize in a secondary contact zone, which is a mosaic of
 sites where both species co-occur (syntopy) and sites where only one
 species is present (allotopy). We analyzed fine-scale habitat data for
 both species in both syntopic and allotopic sites and looked for
 associations between habitat use and bill morphology, which have been
 previously shown to be more divergent in sympatry than in allopatry. We
 found that the two nightingale species differ in habitat use in allotopic
 sites, where L. megarhynchos occurred in drier habitats and at slightly
 higher elevations, but not in syntopic sites. Birds from allotopic sites
 also showed higher interspecific divergence in relative bill size compared
 to birds from syntopic sites. Finally, we found an association between
 bill morphology and elevation. Our results are consistent with the view
 that interspecific competition in nightingales has resulted in partial
 habitat segregation in sympatry, and that the habitat-specific food supply
 has in turn very likely led to bill size divergence. Such ecological
 divergence may enhance prezygotic as well as extrinsic postzygotic
 isolation and thus accelerate the completion of the speciation process.

title: Data from: Developmental stress increases reproductive success in male zebra finches

description: There is increasing evidence that exposure to stress during development
 can have sustained effects on animal phenotype and performance across
 life-history stages. For example, developmental stress has been shown to
 decrease the quality of sexually selected traits (e.g. bird song), and
 therefore is thought to decrease reproductive success. However, animals
 exposed to developmental stress may compensate for poor quality sexually
 selected traits by pursuing alternative reproductive tactics. Here, we
 examine the effects of developmental stress on adult male reproductive
 investment and success in the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata). We tested
 the hypothesis that males exposed to developmental stress sire fewer
 offspring through extra-pair copulations (EPCs), but invest more in
 parental care. To test this hypothesis, we fed nestlings corticosterone
 (CORT; the dominant avian stress hormone) during the nestling period and
 measured their adult reproductive success using common garden breeding
 experiments. We found that nestlings reared by CORT-fed fathers received
 more parental care compared with nestlings reared by control fathers.
 Consequently, males fed CORT during development reared nestlings in better
 condition compared with control males. Contrary to the prediction that
 developmental stress decreases male reproductive success, we found that
 CORT-fed males also sired more offspring and were less likely to rear
 non-genetic offspring compared with control males, and thus had greater
 overall reproductive success. These data are the first to demonstrate that
 developmental stress can have a positive effect on fitness via changes in
 reproductive success and provide support for an adaptive role of
 developmental stress in shaping animal phenotype.

title: Data from: Does the aquatic invertebrate nipple array prevent bubble adhesion?: an experiment using nanopillar sheets

description: The nipple array is a submicron-scale structure found on the cuticle
 surfaces of various invertebrate taxa. Corneal nipples are an antiglare
 surface in nocturnal insects, but the functional significance of the
 nipple array has not been experimentally investigated for aquatic
 organisms. Using nanopillar sheets as a mimetic model of the nipple array,
 we demonstrated that significantly fewer bubbles adhered to the nanopillar
 surface versus a flat surface when the sheets were hydrophilic. Many more
 bubbles adhered to the hydrophobic surface than the hydrophilic surfaces.
 Bubbles on the body surface may cause buoyancy problems, movement
 interference and water flow occlusion. Here, bubble repellence is proposed
 as a function of the hydrophilic nipple array in aquatic invertebrates and
 the properties are considered based on bubble adhesion energy.

title: Data from: Eprinomectin from a sustained release formulation adversely affected dung breeding insects

description: The insecticidal activity of parasiticide residues in dung of cattle
 treated with a sustained release eprinomectin formulation was examined,
 and an improved eprinomectin dung residue extraction method is presented.
 Emergent insect abundance and richness were significantly reduced in all
 post-treatment intervals (7, 14, 28, 56, 84, 112, and 140 d), relative to
 pre-treatment. Emergent insect diversity was reduced for between 84 and
 112 d post-treatment. Collembola were not affected by residues. Chemical
 analyses subsequently documented residues of eprinomectin in dung of each
 collection period post-treatment at levels expected based on previously
 reported excretion profiles for this product. Cattle subcutaneously
 injected with this product excreted residues that reduced dung-breeding
 insect emergence for 5 mo post-treatment. The consequences of these
 long-term non-target effects to pasture ecosystems are not known.

title: Data from: Mosaic structure of native ant supercolonies

description: According to the inclusive fitness theory, some degree of positive
 relatedness is required for the evolution and maintenance of altruism.
 However, ant colonies are sometimes large interconnected networks of nests
 which are genetically homogenous entities, causing a putative problem for
 the theory. We studied spatial structure and genetic relatedness in two
 supercolonies of the ant Formica exsecta, by using nuclear and
 mitochondrial markers. We show that there may be multiple pathways to
 supercolonial social organization leading to different spatial genetic
 structures. One supercolony formed a genetically homogenous population
 dominated by a single mtDNA haplotype, as expected if founded by a small
 number of colonizers, followed by nest propagation by budding and
 domination of the habitat patch. The other supercolony had several
 haplotypes and the spatial genetic structure was a mosaic of nuclear and
 mitochondrial clusters. Genetic diversity probably originated from
 long-range dispersal, and the mosaic population structure is likely a
 result of stochastic short-range dispersal of individuals. Such a mosaic
 spatial structure is apparently discordant with the current knowledge
 about the integrity of ant colonies. Relatedness was low in both
 populations when estimated among nestmates, but increased significantly
 when estimated among individuals sharing the same genetic cluster or
 haplogroup. The latter association indicates the important historical role
 of queen dispersal in the determination of the spatial genetic structure.

title: Data from: Complementary crops and landscape features sustain wild bee communities

description: Wild bees, which are important for commercial pollination, depend on
 floral and nesting resources both at farms and in the surrounding
 landscape. Mass-flowering crops are only in bloom for a few weeks and
 unable to support bee populations that persist throughout the year. Farm
 fields and orchards that flower in succession potentially can extend the
 availability of floral resources for pollinators. However, it is unclear
 whether the same bee species or genera will forage from one crop to the
 next, which bees specialize on particular crops, and to what degree
 inter-crop visitation patterns will be mediated by landscape context. We
 therefore studied local- and landscape-level drivers of bee diversity and
 species turnover in apple orchards, blueberry fields and raspberry fields
 that bloom sequentially in southern Quebec, Canada. Despite the presence
 of high bee species turnover, orchards and small fruit fields complemented
 each other phenologically by supporting two bee genera essential to their
 pollination: mining bees (Andrena spp.) and bumble bees (Bombus spp.). A
 number of bee species specialized on apple, blueberry or raspberry
 blossoms, suggesting that all three crops could be used to promote
 regional bee diversity. Bee diversity (rarefied richness, wild bee
 abundance) was highest across crops in landscapes containing hedgerows,
 meadows and suburban areas that provide ancillary nesting and floral
 resources throughout the spring and summer. Promoting phenological
 complementarity in floral resources at the farmstead and landscape scales
 is essential to sustaining diverse wild bee populations.
