title: Data from: Environmental drivers of population-level variation in the migratory and diving ontogeny of an Arctic top predator

description: The development of migratory strategies that enable juveniles to survive
 to recruitment is critical for species that exploit seasonal niches. For
 animals that forage via breath-hold diving this requires a combination of
 both physiological and foraging skill development. Here, we assess how
 migratory and dive behaviour develop over the first months of life for a
 migratory Arctic top predator, the harp seal, tracked using animal-borne
 satellite relay data loggers. We reveal similarities in migratory
 movements and differences in diving behaviour between juveniles from
 breeding populations in the Northwest Atlantic and Greenland Sea. In both
 regions, periods of resident and transient behaviour during migration were
 associated with proxies for food availability; sea ice concentration and
 water depth. However, while ontogenetic development of dive behaviour was
 similar for both groups of juveniles over the first 25 days, after this
 time Greenland Sea animals performed shorter and shallower dives and were
 more closely associated with sea ice than Northwest Atlantic animals.
 Together, these results highlight the role of both intrinsic and extrinsic
 factors in shaping early-life behaviour. Differences in the environmental
 conditions experienced during early-life may shape how populations respond
 to the rapid changes occurring in the Arctic ocean ecosystem.

title: Data from: Predator-prey Interactions of Terrestrial Invertebrates are Determined by Predator Body Size and Species Identity

description: Predator-prey interactions shape ecosystem and can help maintain
 biodiversity. However, for many of the earth’s most biodiverse and
 abundant organisms, including terrestrial arthropods, these interactions
 are difficult or impossible to observe directly with traditional
 approaches. Based on previous theory, it is likely that predator-prey
 interactions for these organisms are shaped by a combination of predator
 traits, including body size and species-specific hunting strategies. In
 this study, we combined diet DNA metabarcoding data of 173 individual
 invertebrate predators from nine species (a total of 305 predator-prey
 interactions) with an extensive community body size dataset of a
 well-described invertebrate community to explore how predator traits and
 identity shape interactions. We found that 1) mean size of prey families
 in the field usually scaled with predator size, with species-specific
 variation to a general size scaling relationship (exceptions likely
 indicating scavenging or feeding on smaller life stages). We also found
 that 2) although predator hunting traits, including web and venom use, are
 thought to shape predator-prey interaction outcomes, predator identity
 more strongly influenced our indirect measure of the relative size of
 predators and prey (predator:prey size ratios) than either of these
 hunting traits. Our findings indicate that predator body size and species
 identity are important in shaping trophic interactions in invertebrate
 food webs and could help predict how anthropogenic biodiversity change
 will influence terrestrial invertebrates, the earth’s most diverse animal
 taxonomic group.

title: Socio-economic and environmental impacts of ants: data to support global assessments

description: Risk assessments are fundamental to invasive species management and are
 underpinned by comprehensive characterization of invasive species impacts.
 Our understanding of the impacts of invasive species is growing
 constantly, and several recently developed frameworks offer the
 opportunity to systematically categorize environmental and socio-economic
 impacts of invasive species. Invasive ants are among the most widespread
 and damaging invaders. We provide a global, comprehensive assessment on
 the impacts of ants and propose a priority list of risk species. We used
 the Socio-Economic Impact Classification for Alien Taxa (SEICAT),
 Environmental Impact Classification for Alien Taxa (EICAT) and Generic
 Impact Scoring System (GISS) to analyse 642 unique sources for 100 named
 species. This dataset includes the raw recrods on which our assessments
 were based, and some summary data. Other data can be found in the
 publication.
description: The dataset was constructed from a literature research. To
 identify peer-reviewed information sources for our analyses, we conducted
 systematic and exhaustive searches of literature published in English
 prior to March 2019 in Web of Science, JSTOR, Google Scholar, and FORMIS,
 a curated database of all ant literature (Wojcik and Porter 2018). In our
 search terms we used “ant” with the additional key words “sting”, “bite”,
 “damage”, “cost*” and “impact*”. The resulting records were assessment
 using the Environmental Impact Classification for Alien Taxa [EICAT],
 Hawkins et al. 2015; the Generic Impact Scoring System [GISS], Nentwig et
 al. 2016; and the Socio-Economic Impact Classification for Alien Taxa
 [SEICAT] Bacher et al. 2018.

title: A genomic perspective on the evolutionary diversification of turtles

description: To examine phylogenetic heterogeneity in turtle evolution, we collected
 thousands of high-confidence single-copy orthologs from 19 genome
 assemblies representative of extant turtle diversity and estimated a
 phylogeny with multispecies coalescent and concatenated partitioned
 methods. We also collected next-generation sequences from 26 turtle
 species and assembled millions of biallelic markers to reconstruct
 phylogenies based on annotated regions from the western painted turtle
 (Chrysemys picta bellii) genome (coding regions, introns, untranslated
 regions, intergenic, and others). We then measured gene tree-species tree
 discordance, as well as gene and site heterogeneity at each node in the
 inferred trees, and tested for temporal patterns in phylogenomic conflict
 across turtle evolution. We found strong and consistent support for all
 bifurcations in the inferred turtle species phylogenies. However, a number
 of genes, sites, and genomic features supported alternate relationships
 between turtle taxa. Our results suggest that gene tree-species tree
 discordance in these datasets is likely driven by population-level
 processes such as incomplete lineage sorting. We found very little effect
 of substitutional saturation on species tree topologies, and no clear
 phylogenetic patterns in codon usage bias and compositional heterogeneity.
 There was no correlation between gene and site concordance, node age, and
 DNA substitution rate across most annotated genomic regions. Our study
 demonstrates that heterogeneity is to be expected even in well resolved
 clades such as turtles, and that future phylogenomic studies should aim to
 sample as much of the genome as possible in order to obtain accurate
 phylogenies for assessing conservation priorities in turtles.

title: Climate change impacts on seabirds and marine mammals: the importance of study duration, thermal tolerance and generation time

description: Understanding climate change impacts on top predators is fundamental to
 marine biodiversity conservation, due to their increasingly threatened
 populations and their importance in marine ecosystems. We conducted a
 systematic review of the effects of climate change (prolonged, directional
 change) and climate variability on seabirds and marine mammals. We
 extracted data from 484 studies (4808 published studies were reviewed),
 comprising 2215 observations on demography, phenology, distribution, diet,
 behaviour, body condition and physiology. The likelihood of concluding
 that climate change had an impact increased with study duration. However,
 the temporal thresholds for the effects of climate change to be
 discernible varied from 10 to 29 years depending on the species, the
 biological response and the oceanic study region. Species with narrow
 thermal ranges and relatively long generation times were more often
 reported to be affected by climate change. This provides an important
 framework for future assessments, with guidance on response- and
 region-specific temporal dimensions that need to be considered when
 reporting effects of climate change. Lastly, we found that tropical
 regions and non-breeding life stages were poorly covered in the
 literature, a concern that should be addressed to enable a better
 understanding of the vulnerability of marine predators to climate change.
description: To summarize, an article
 had to meet the following criteria for inclusion: (i) include a clear
 statement that the study objectives were to investigate the potential
 effects of climate, (ii) report on original data analyses (i.e. reviews
 were not included), (iii) include analyses on quantitative relationships
 between a climate variable and a response variable (usually conducted by
 correlation), and (iv) provide explicit comparisons of changes in response
 variables in relation to climate through time. In the case of studies with
 duplicate datasets and updated analyses, we selected only one study with
 the longest time series, typically the most recent publication.
 An observation was defined as a biological response variable (demographic
 parameter, phenology, distribution, behaviour, diet, condition or
 physiological variable) and a climatic variable (e.g. Sea Surface
 Temperature (SST) but also including global indices such as Southern
 Annular Mode or Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), see detailed protocol
 in Supporting Information sections 4 & 5).

title: Direct and indirect effects of fire on microbial communities in a pyrodiverse dry-sclerophyll forest

description: Fire is one of the predominant drivers of the structural and functional
 dynamics of forest ecosystems. In recent years, novel fire regimes have
 posed a major challenge to the management of pyrodiverse forests. While
 previous research efforts have focused on quantifying the impacts of fire
 on above-ground forest biodiversity, how microbial communities respond to
 fire is less understood, despite their functional significance. Here, we
 describe the effects of time since fire, fire frequency and their
 interaction on soil and leaf litter fungal and bacterial communities from
 the pyrodiverse, Eucalyptus pilularis forests of south-eastern Australia.
 Using structural equation models, we also elucidate how fire can influence
 these communities both directly and indirectly through biotic-abiotic
 interactions. Our results demonstrate that fire is a key driver of litter
 and soil bacterial and fungal communities, with effects most pronounced
 for soil fungal communities. Notably, recently burnt forest hosted lower
 abundances of symbiotic ectomycorrhizal fungi and Acidobacteria in the
 soil, and basidiomycetous fungi and Actinobacteriota in the litter.
 Compared with low fire frequencies, high fire frequency increased soil
 fungal plant pathogens, but reduced Actinobacteriota. The majority of fire
 effects on microbial communities were mediated by fire-induced changes in
 litter and soil abiotic properties. For instance, recent and more frequent
 fire was associated with reduced soil sulphur, which led to an increase in
 soil fungal plant pathogens and saprotrophic fungi in these sites.
 Pathogenic fungi also increased in recently burnt forests that had a low
 fire frequency, mediated by a decline in litter carbon and an increase in
 soil pH in these sites. Synthesis. Our findings indicate that predicted
 increases in the frequency of fire may select for specific microbial
 communities directly and indirectly through ecological interactions, which
 may have functional implications for plants (increase in pathogens,
 decrease in symbionts), decomposition rates (declines in Actinobacteriota
 and Acidobacteriota) and carbon storage (decrease in ectomycorrhizal
 fungi). In the face of predicted shifts in wildfire regimes, which may
 exacerbate fire-induced changes in microbial communities, adaptive
 fire-management and monitoring is required to address the potential
 functional implications of fire-altered microbial communities.

title: Data from: Topography in tropical forests enhances growth and survival differences within and among species via water availability and biotic interactions

description: Topography is associated with variation in soil water, biogeochemical
 properties and climate, which drive diversity by filtering species and
 promoting niche differences. However, the potential for topography to
 promote fitness differences and diversity among tree species and
 populations remains poorly tested in tropical rainforests, especially at
 small spatial scales in everwet climates. We reciprocally transplanted
 tree seedlings between ridge and riparian sites and manipulated neighbour
 abundance and water availability to assess growth and survival differences
 both among species and between populations within species in response to
 changes in biotic interactions and soil water gradients associated with
 topographic heterogeneity. Seedling growth rates were higher on the ridge,
 but probability of survival was lower on the ridge than the riparian site.
 Topography also altered growth and survival responses to water
 availability such that seedlings in the inundated soils in the riparian
 site had the lowest growth and survival but increased rapidly with
 moderate soil drying. By contrast, growth and survival on the ridge were
 generally unresponsive to drying, although severe drought on the ridge
 reinforced differences among species in growth rates and probability of
 survival. The patterns of growth and survival within species did not
 provide evidence of local adaptation between seedlings from lowland and
 upslope origins. However, within species, topographic seed-origin
 determined the response of seedling growth and survival to increasing
 neighbour abundance, indicative of divergent selective pressures between
 individuals growing in different topographic environments. Combined, these
 results suggest that topographic heterogeneity promotes tropical forest
 diversity both at the species level via environmental filtering due to
 water availability and at the population level via functional responses to
 the density of neighbouring vegetation.

title: Populations restored using regional seed are genetically diverse and similar to natural populations in the region

description: Ecological restoration and plant re-introductions aim to create plant
 populations that are genetically similar to natural populations to
 preserve the regional gene pool, yet genetically diverse to allow
 adaptation to a changing environment. For this purpose, seeds for
 restoration are increasingly sourced from multiple populations in the
 target region. However, it has only rarely been tested whether using
 regional seed indeed leads to genetically diverse restored populations
 which are genetically similar to natural populations. We used single
 nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers to investigate genetic diversity
 within and differentiation among populations of Centaurea jacea and
 Betonica officinalis on restored and natural meadows in the White
 Carpathians, Czech Republic. The restoration took place 20 years ago using
 regional seeds propagated from a mix of multiple regional source
 populations. We included original regional seeds in our analysis to
 compare the restored populations with their origin (only in C. jacea).
 Additionally, we analysed conventional seeds without certified origin
 because these would have constituted a common alternative for restoration
 seeding in the absence of regional seeds. The differentiation between
 restored and natural populations (mean pairwise FST = 0.018 in Centaurea
 and 0.021 in Betonica) was similar to the differentiation among natural
 populations (FST = 0.023 and 0.021), and the restored
 populations were slightly more genetically diverse than the natural
 populations. In addition, restored populations were relatively similar to
 their origin, the regional seeds (FST = 0.015). In contrast, conventional
 seeds were strongly differentiated from all regional populations (FST =
 0.100 and 0.059, in Centaurea and Betonica, respectively) and harboured
 substantially lower genetic diversity. We also found signs of gene flow
 via pollen or seed dispersal from natural to restored populations but not
 vice versa. Policy implications. Regionally sourced seeds can produce
 genetically diverse populations at natural levels of genetic
 differentiation.
