title: Data from: Daphnia galeata and D. dentifera are geographically and ecologically separated whereas their hybrids occur in intermediate habitats: a survey of 44 Chinese lakes

description: The idea that hybridization promotes range expansion has received recent
 attention, but support from field studies is limited. We hypothesized that
 in the cladoceran waterflea Daphnia, parental species are geographically
 and ecologically separated, whereas hybrids occupy intermediate or
 occasionally extreme environments, potentially facilitating range
 expansion of parental species. We assessed the distribution of Daphnia
 dentifera, D. galeata and their interspecific hybrids across 44 lakes in
 China (using mitochondrial and microsatellite markers), and related it to
 geographical and environmental lake descriptors. Parental species were
 geographically separated: D. dentifera occurred in western and central
 China, and D. galeata in eastern and central China, whereas hybrids were
 found in the western and central parts of country. However, after
 controlling for geographical differences, the effect of environment on
 species distribution was strong and significant. Specifically, D.
 dentifera was present in high-altitude oligotrophic lakes, D. galeata in
 low-altitude eutrophic lakes, and hybrids at intermediate to high
 altitudes, mainly in mesotrophic lakes. Microsatellite data indicated that
 hybrids were locally produced rather than having migrated from elsewhere;
 they probably resulted from encounters between expanding D. galeata and
 resident D. dentifera. The present study provides evidence that hybrids
 can survive in habitats that are otherwise suitable for only one of their
 parental species, emphasizing the importance of hybridization in expansion
 of species gene pools.

title: Data from: Quantifying historical trends in the completeness of the fossil record and the contributing factors: an example using Aves

description: Improvements in the perceived completeness of the fossil record may be
 driven both by new discoveries and by reinterpretation of known fossils,
 but disentangling the relative effects of these processes can be
 difficult. Here, we propose a new methodology for evaluating historical
 trends in the perceived completeness of the fossil record, demonstrate its
 implementation using the freely available software ASCC (version 4.0.0),
 and present an example using crown-group birds (Aves). Dates of discovery
 and recognition for the oldest fossil representatives of 75 major lineages
 of birds were collected for the historical period ranging from 1910 to
 2010. Using a comprehensive phylogeny, we calculated minimum implied
 stratigraphic gaps (MIG range) across these 75 lineages. Our results show
 that a reduction in global MIG values of 1.38 Ga (billion years) occurred
 over the past century in avian paleontology. A pronounced increase in the
 average rate of global MIG reduction is noted in the post-1970s interval
 (290.5 Myr per decade) compared to the pre-1970s interval (31.9 Myr per
 decade). Although the majority of the improvement in the fossil record of
 birds has come from new discoveries, substantial improvement (~22.5%) has
 resulted from restudy and phylogenetic revision of previously described
 fossils over the last 40 years. With a minimum estimate indicating that at
 least 1.38 Gyr of gaps remain to be filled between the predicted and
 observed first appearances of major lineages of crown Aves, there is much
 progress to be made. However, a notable tapering off in the rate of global
 MIG reduction occurs between 1990 and 2010, suggesting we may be
 approaching an asymptote of oldest record discoveries for birds. Only
 future observations can determine whether this is a real pattern or a
 historical anomaly. Either way, barring the discovery of fossils that
 substantially push back the minimum age for the origin of crown-clade
 Aves, new discoveries cannot continue to reduce global MIG values at the
 average post-1970s rate over the long term.

title: Data from: Blacktip reef sharks, Carcharhinus melanopterus, have high genetic structure and varying demographic histories in their Indo-Pacific range

description: For free-swimming marine species like sharks, only population genetics and
 demographic history analyses can be used to assess population
 health/status as baseline population numbers are usually unknown. We
 investigated the population genetics of blacktip reef sharks, Carcharhinus
 melanopterus; one of the most abundant reef-associated sharks and the apex
 predator of many shallow water reefs of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Our
 sampling includes 4 widely separated locations in the Indo-Pacific and 11
 islands in French Polynesia with different levels of coastal development.
 Four-teen microsatellite loci were analysed for samples from all locations
 and two mitochondrial DNA fragments, the control region and cytochrome b,
 were examined for 10 locations. For microsatellites, genetic diversity is
 higher for the locations in the large open systems of the Red Sea and
 Australia than for the fragmented habitat of the smaller islands of French
 Polynesia. Strong significant structure was found for distant locations
 with FST values as high as ~0.3, and a smaller but still significant
 structure is found within French Polynesia. Both mitochondrial genes show
 only a few mutations across the sequences with a dominant shared haplotype
 in French Polynesia and New Caledonia suggesting a common lineage
 different to that of East Australia. Demographic history analyses indicate
 population expansions in the Red Sea and Australia that may coincide with
 sea level changes after climatic events. Expansions and flat signals are
 indicated for French Polynesia as well as a significant recent bottleneck
 for Moorea, the most human-impacted lagoon of the locations in French
 Polynesia.

title: Data from: Two novel genera and one new species of treefrog (Anura: Rhacophoridae) highlight cryptic diversity in the Western Ghats of India

description: Amphibian diversity in the Western Ghats-Sri Lanka biodiversity hotspot is
 extremely high, especially for such a geo-graphically restricted area.
 Frogs in particular dominate these assemblages, and the family
 Rhacophoridae is chief among these, with hundreds of endemic species.
 These taxa continue to be described at a rapid pace, and several groups
 have recently been found to represent unique evolutionary clades at the
 genus level. Here, we report DNA sequences, larval and breeding data for
 two species of rhacophorid treefrog (Polypedates bijui and a new, hitherto
 undescribed species). Re-markably, they represent unique, independent
 clades which form successive sister groups to the Pseudophilautus (Sri
 Lan-ka) + Raorchestes (India, China & Indochina) clades. We place
 these species into two new genera (Beddomixalus gen. nov. and Mercurana
 gen. nov.). Both of these genera exhibit a distinct reproductive mode
 among Rhacophoridae of pen-insular India and Sri Lanka, with explosive
 breeding and semiterrestrial, unprotected, non-pigmented eggs oviposited
 in seasonal swamp pools, which hatch into exotrophic, free-living aquatic
 tadpoles. Relationships and representation of re-productive modes in
 sister taxa within the larger clade into which these novel genera are
 placed, is also discussed. These results suggest that more undescribed
 taxa may remain to be discovered in South Asia, and the crucial importance
 of con-serving remaining viable habitats.

title: Data from: Vertebral evolution and the diversification of squamate reptiles

description: Taxonomic, morphological and functional diversity are often discordant and
 independent components of diversity. A fundamental and largely unanswered
 question in evolutionary biology is why some clades diversify primarily in
 some of these components and not others. Dramatic variation in trunk
 vertebral numbers (14 to &gt;300) among squamate reptiles coincides
 with different body shapes, and snake-like body shapes have evolved
 numerous times. However, whether increased evolutionary rates or numbers
 of vertebrae underlie body shape and taxonomic diversification is unknown.
 Using a supertree of squamates including 1375 species, and corresponding
 vertebral and body shape data, we show that increased rates of evolution
 in vertebral numbers have coincided with increased rates and disparity in
 body shape evolution, but not changes in rates of taxonomic
 diversification. We also show that the evolution of many vertebrae has not
 spurred or inhibited body shape or taxonomic diversification, suggesting
 that increased vertebral number is not a key innovation. Our findings
 demonstrate that lineage attributes such as the relaxation of constraints
 on vertebral number can facilitate the evolution of novel body shapes, but
 that different factors are responsible for body shape and taxonomic
 diversification.

title: Data from: Integrating gastrocnemius force–length properties, in vivo activation and operating lengths reveals how Anolis deal with ecological challenges

description: A central question in biology is how animals successfully behave under
 complex natural conditions. Although changes in locomotor behaviour, motor
 control and force production in relation to incline are commonly examined,
 a wide range of other factors, including a range of perch diameters,
 pervades arboreal habitats. Moving on different substrate diameters
 requires considerable alteration of body and limb posture, probably
 causing significant shifts in the lengths of the muscle–tendon units
 powering locomotion. Thus, how substrate shape impacts in vivo muscle
 function remains an important but neglected question in ecophysiology.
 Here, we used high-speed videography, electromyography, in situ
 contractile experiments and morphology to examine gastrocnemius muscle
 function during arboreal locomotion in the Cuban knight anole, Anolis
 equestris. The gastrocnemius contributes more to the propulsive effort on
 broad surfaces than on narrow surfaces. Surprisingly, substrate
 inclination affected the relationship between the maximum potential force
 and fibre recruitment; the trade-off that was present between these
 variables on horizontal surfaces became a positive relationship on
 inclined surfaces. Finally, the biarticular nature of the gastrocnemius
 allows it to generate force isometrically, regardless of substrate
 diameter and incline, despite the fact that the tendons are incapable of
 stretching during cyclical locomotion. Our results emphasize the
 importance of considering ecology and muscle function together, and the
 necessity of examining both mechanical and physiological properties of
 muscles to understand how animals move in their environment.
