title: Local diversity, beta diversity and climate influence the regional stability of bird biomass across North America

description: Biodiversity often stabilizes aggregate ecosystem properties (e.g.,
 biomass) at small spatial scales. However, the importance of species
 diversity within communities and variation in species composition among
 communities (β-diversity) for stability at larger scales remains unclear.
 Using a continental-scale analysis of 1,657 North American breeding-bird
 communities spanning 20-years and 35 ecoregions, we show local species
 diversity and β-diversity influence two components of regional stability:
 local stability (stability of bird biomass within sites) and spatial
 asynchrony (asynchronous fluctuations in biomass among sites). We found
 spatial asynchrony explained three times more variation in regional
 stability of bird biomass than did local stability. This result contrasts
 with studies at smaller spatial scales – typically plant metacommunities
 under 1 hectare – that find local stability to be more important than
 spatial asynchrony. Moreover, spatial asynchrony of bird biomass increased
 with bird β-diversity and climate heterogeneity (temperature and
 precipitation), while local stability increased with species diversity.
 Our study reveals new insights into the scale-dependent processes
 regulating ecosystem stability, providing evidence that both local
 biodiversity loss and homogenization can destabilize ecosystem processes
 at biogeographic scales.

title: Parallel flowering time clines in native and introduced ragweed populations are likely due to adaptation

description: As introduced species expand their ranges, they often encounter
 differences in climate which are often correlated with geography. For
 introduced species, encountering a geographically variable climate
 sometimes leads to the re-establishment of clines seen in the native
 range. However, clines can also be caused by neutral processes, and so it
 is important to gather additional evidence that population differentiation
 is the result of selection as opposed to non-adaptive processes. Here, we
 examine phenotypic and genetic differences in ragweed from the native
 (North America) and introduced (European) ranges. We used a common garden
 to assess phenotypic differentiation in size and flowering time in ragweed
 populations. We found significant parallel clines in flowering time in
 both North America and Europe. Height and branch number had significant
 clines in North America and, while not statistically significant, the
 patterns in Europe were the same. We used SNP data to assess population
 structure in both ranges and to compare phenotypic differentiation to
 neutral genetic variation. We failed to detect significant patterns of
 isolation by distance, geographic patterns in population structure, or
 correlations between the major axes of SNP variation and phenotypes or
 latitude of origin. We conclude that the North American clines in size and
 the parallel clines seen for flowering time are most likely the result of
 adaptation.

title: Data-driven models reveal mutant cell behaviors important for myxobacterial aggregation

description: Single mutations frequently alter several aspects of cell behavior but
 rarely reveal whether a particular statistically significant change is
 biologically significant. To determine which behavioral changes are most
 important for multicellular self-organization, we devised a new
 methodology using Myxococcus xanthus as a model system. During
 development, myxobacteria coordinate their movement to aggregate into
 spore-filled fruiting bodies. We investigate how aggregation is restored
 in two mutants, csgA and pilC, that cannot aggregate unless mixed
 with wild type (WT) cells. To this end, we use cell tracking to follow
  the movement of fluorescently labeled cells in
 combination with data-driven agent-based modeling. The results indicate
 that just like WT cells, both mutants bias their movement toward
 aggregates and reduce motility inside aggregates. However, several aspects
 of mutant behavior remain uncorrected by WT demonstrating that perfect
 recreation of WT behavior is unnecessary. In fact, synergies between
 errant behaviors can make aggregation robust.

title: Data from: Hybridization fluctuates with rainfall in Darwin's tree finches

description: Hybridization in natural populations may be an adaptive response to
 shifting climatic regimes, but understanding this can be limited by
 temporal sampling effort and confident hybrid identification. On the
 Galapagos Islands, Darwin’s finches regularly hybridize, and the islands
 show extreme annual variation in rainfall, however the effect of annual
 rainfall on the frequency of finch hybridization is little known. Across a
 19-year period on Floreana Island, we compare patterns of hybridization in
 sympatric Darwin’s tree finches (N = 425; Camaryhnchus spp.) and test for
 an effect of annual rainfall on, 1) the frequency of hybrids (C. pauper ×
 C. parvulus), and 2) the percentage of male hybrid birds produced per year
 (hybrid recruitment). Annual rainfall correlated with recruitment
 positively for hybrids, negatively for C. parvulus and not at all for C.
 pauper. Furthermore, the percentage of hybrids (range: 12-56%) and C.
 parvulus did not change with sampling year, but the critically endangered
 C. pauper declined. Our findings indicate that hybrid recruitment is
 recurring and variable according to annual rainfall in Camarhynchus
 Darwin’s finches.
description: Our study was conducted in the highlands of Floreana Island,
 Galápagos Archipelago during February and in some cases March/April during
 1997, 2005, 2006, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2016 (8 years of sampling
 spanning 19 years). The focal tree finch species were small tree finch
 (<i>Camarhynchus parvulus</i>), medium tree finch (<i>C.
 pauper</i>), and the recently discovered hybrid group that arises
 from pairings between <i>C. pauper</i> females and <i>C.
 parvulus</i> males. DNA was extracted and genotyped using nine
 microsatellite loci designed for Darwin's medium ground finch
 (Geospiza fortis: GF01, GF03, GF04, GF05, GF06, GF07, GF11, GF12, GF13,
 Petren, 1998), with protocols described in Kleindorfer et al. (2014) and
 Peters et al. (2017).  Analyses are as described in the corresponding
 paper with this data.
description: The dataset contains two files: 1) Genetic
 data (microsatellite data) for 9 loci - with individual IDs and initial
 assignment to each parental cluster prior to assessment of admixture and
 hybridisation via STRUCTURE analysis. 2) Data for male
 age and birth year and rainfall data per year with individuals genetically
 assigned to either the parental or hybrid groups.

title: Population genomic response to geographic gradients by widespread and endemic fishes of the Arabian Peninsula

description: Genetic structure within marine species may be driven by local adaptation
 to their environment, or alternatively by historical processes, such as
 geographic isolation. The gulfs and seas bordering the Arabian Peninsula
 offer an ideal setting to examine connectivity patterns in coral reef
 fishes with respect to environmental gradients and vicariance. The Red Sea
 is characterized by a unique marine fauna, historical periods of
 desiccation and isolation, as well as environmental gradients in salinity,
 temperature, and primary productivity that vary both by latitude and by
 season. The adjacent Arabian Sea is characterized by a sharper
 environmental gradient, ranging from extensive coral cover and warm
 temperatures in the southwest, to sparse coral cover, cooler temperatures,
 and seasonal upwelling in the northeast. Reef fish, however, are not
 confined to these seas, with some Red Sea fishes extending varying
 distances into the northern Arabian Sea, while their pelagic larvae are
 presumably capable of much greater dispersal. These species must therefore
 cope with a diversity of conditions that invoke the possibility of steep
 clines in natural selection. Here we test for genetic structure in two
 widespread reef fish species (a butterflyfish and surgeonfish) and eight
 range-restricted butterflyfishes across the Red Sea and Arabian Sea using
 genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). We performed multiple
 matrix regression with randomization (MMRR) analyses on genetic distances
 for all species, as well as reconstructed scenarios for population
 sub-division in the species with signatures of isolation. We found that 1)
 widespread species displayed more genetic sub-division than regional
 endemics and 2) this genetic structure was not correlated with
 contemporary environmental parameters but instead may reflect historical
 events. We propose that the endemic species may be adapted to a diversity
 of local conditions, but the widespread species are instead subject to
 ecological filtering where different combinations of genotypes persist
 under divergent ecological regimes.

title: Ant-scale mutualism increases scale infestation, decreases folivory, and disrupts biological control in restored tropical forests

description: Ant-hemipteran mutualisms can have positive and negative effects on host
 plants depending on the level of hemipteran infestation and plant
 protection conferred by ants against folivory. Differential effects of
 such mutualisms on plant survival are well documented in undisturbed and
 ant-invaded systems, but few have explored how anthropogenic disturbance
 affects interactions between hemipterans and native ant species and what
 the consequences may be for recovering ecosystems. Within a fragmented
 landscape in Costa Rica, restored tropical forests harbor a mutualism
 between the native ant Wasmannia auropunctata and the scale insect
 Alecanochiton marquesi on the abundant, early-successional tree Conostegia
 xalapensis. I added A. marquesi scales to C. xalapensis seedlings and
 either allowed or excluded W. auropunctata to investigate if this
 mutualism leads to increased scale infestation, decreased scale mortality,
 and decreased folivory. I also examined whether these effects are mediated
 by the percentage of remnant forest cover in the landscape. I found that
 seedlings with ants excluded had fewer scale insects and higher herbivory
 than plants with ants present. Combined scale mortality due to fungi and
 parasitism was also higher on ant-excluded vs. ant-allowed plants but only
 at sites with high surrounding landscape forest cover. Together, these
 results suggest that mutualisms between scale insects and native ants can
 promote scale infestation, reduce folivory on native plant species, and
 disrupt biological control of scale insects in recovering tropical
 forests. Further, my experiment underscores the importance of remnant
 tropical forests as sources of biological control in
 anthropogenically-disturbed landscapes.
description: Data collected includes abundance data for <i>A. marquesi
 </i>in both March 2018 when the experiment began and June 2018 at
 the end of the experiment. Data also included mortality of <i>A.
 marquesi </i>due to fungi and parasitism, <i>W. auropunctata
 </i>abundance, and change in percent folivory on leaves of
 <i>C. xalapensis </i>after the end of the experiment in June
 2018. Percent landscape forest cover at buffers out to 650 m are also
 included in the dataset. Data was entered in Microsoft
 Excel 360 and processed in R Studio (Version 1.2.5019)

 abundance of <i>A. marquesi </i>between March and June of 2018
 (scale_abun_jun18 - scale_abun_mar18) and subtracting <i>A. marquesi
 </i>abundance based on ambient scale colonization of control

title: Egg laying behavior of the common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus): data based on field video-recordings

description: The egg laying behavior of brood parasites is at the heart of studies on
 their co-evolution with hosts. Updating and reporting more egg laying
 behavior can improve our perception and insight on the brood parasitism
 process. During a 7 years’ study period, we monitored 455 Oriental reed
 warbler (Acrocephalus orientalis) nests during the egg laying period, of
 which 250 were parasitized by common cuckoos (Cuculus canorus). We
 randomly recorded 53 clear videos of cuckoo parasitism, analyzed and
 recorded all parasitic behavior of cuckoo in details, summarized the
 process of brood parasitism displayed by the common cuckoo. Based on
 analyses of these field video-recordings, we proposed a new explanation
 for the egg removal behavior, namely the delivery hypothesis, i.e. the egg
 pecking and biting may help parasitic cuckoos lay eggs faster, thereby
 avoiding the host’s attention and reducing host attacks, whilst egg
 removal is the side effect of egg pecking and biting. We concluded that
 common cuckoos do not care whether the host is around the nest, as they
 have a set of methods to deal with host attacks and can complete
 parasitism boldly and smoothly at any time.

title: Late Quaternary slip rate of the Aksay segment and its fast decreasing gradient along the Altyn Tagh fault

description: Constraining the fault slip rate could reveal the strain accumulation and
 partitioning pattern. The Aksay segment, the eastern segment of the ATF
 (Altyn Tagh Fault), as the starting area where the slip rate of ATF
 decreases, is a strain partitioning zone. The spatial and temporal
 distribution of fault slip rate along the Aksay segment is of great
 significance to clarify the role of it in the strain-partitioning of the
 eastern ATF. We determined the slip rate of four sites along the Aksay
 segment respectively. The results demonstrated that the slip rate
 decreased dramatically with an overwhelmingly high slip gradient of ~9.8
 mm/yr/100 km within a distance of ~50 km. The slip rate gradient at the
 Aksay segment is ~4 times of that of the Subei segment to the eastward
 termination of the ATF. We proposed that the decreased slip rate was
 absorbed principally by the uplifting of the Danghe Nan Shan. Our results
 indicated that the slip rate gradient along the ATF was not uniform, and
 decreased eastward with variable slip rate gradients at different
 segments, resulting in the uplifting of the mountains oblique with the
 ATF.

title: Data from: Pyroelectricity and field induced spin-flop in (4-(Aminomethyl)pyridinium)2MnCl4•2H2O

description: Large single crystals of (4-(Aminomethyl)pyridinium)2MnCl4•2H2O (1) were
 grown by slow evaporation of solution. The crystal structure was solved to
 be Pī, which belong to the central symmetric space group. But small
 pyroelectric current was detected, as well as a ferroelectric hysteresis
 loop. The pyroelectric and the ferroelectric property was attributed to
 the strain caused by defects. Temperature dependent magnetic curves and
 the M-H curve shows that 1 is antiferromagnetic ordering below 2.5 K. A
 field induced spin-flop is observed in the antiferromagnetic ordering
 state.

title: Sex and age differences in tree cavity dependence in a small arboreal marsupial

description: Many mammal species depend on tree cavities for shelter and for breeding.
 Some species may use tree cavities as well as other varied shelters but
 the extent of their dependence on tree cavities is unknown. One such
 species is the eastern pygmy-possum (Cercartetus nanus) from eastern
 Australia which typically shelters alone. I addressed four key questions:
 i) do different age and sex classes differ in their preferences for small
 (4 cm diameter) and large (10 cm diameter) cavities, ii) does the
 availability of large cavities influence female breeding status, iii) does
 the availability of large cavities influence where adult females and males
 are detected, and iv) does the availability of large cavities influence
 survival and abundance? I provisioned two 9-ha plots containing few (≤2
 per ha) ‘large’ natural cavities with artificial cavities in different
 years. When plots were provisioned with small and large cavities breeding
 females (n = 46) showed a pronounced preference for sheltering in the
 large cavities whilst adult males (n = 67) and subadults (n = 40)
 preferred the small cavities. When one plot and not the other was
 provisioned with large cavities adult females were significantly more
 likely to be reproductive and be detected on the plot with large cavities,
 but survival was not influenced. Detection of adult males did not vary
 with large cavity provisioning. The abundance of adult pygmy-possums
 varied among years, being higher on the plot provisioned with large
 cavities when the other plot was not provisioned, but equivalent when both
 were provisioned. The findings of this study are consistent with the
 hypothesis that breeding females are dependent on a large cavity to raise
 a litter. Other mammal species around the world are likely to exhibit
 similar but currently unrecognised shelter site strategies which have
 implications for their management.
description: The data set is based on the capture of animals within installed
 nest boxes in Royal National Park, Sydney, Australia.
description: There are four sets of data. These relate to four questions
 addressed in the results of the paper. Q1 describes cavity preference for
 small or large installed cavities by different age-sex classes; Q2 are the
 data used in a logistic regression analysis to investigate whether adult
 females were detected as breeding or non-breeding individuals on one of
 two study plots in which large cavities (nest boxes) were installed in
 some years but not others; Q3 are the detection history data for females
 and males in which one study plot and not the other contained nest boxes
 with this experiment reversed across the two years; Q4 contains the
 capture histories of adult females on the two study plots across three
 years with nest boxes present in two of the three years but the timing
 differing across the two plots.
