title: Data for: Using distribution models to identify range shifts of four Acroneuria Pictet, 1841 (Plecoptera: Perlidae) species in the Midwest USA

description: Regional faunal assessments of stoneflies in the United States Midwest
 (herein defined as Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and
 Wisconsin) indicate increasing imperilment resulting from human
 disturbance and climate change. Large-bodied Perlid stoneflies with
 multivoltine life cycles are among the most at risk for regional
 extirpation, with losses reported in several midwestern states. Species
 distribution modeling was undertaken to describe distribution shifts for
 four widespread riverine species: Acroneuria abnormis (Newman, 1838), A.
 frisoni Stark & Brown, 1991, A. internata (Walker, 1852) and A.
 lycorias (Newman, 1839). The distribution modeling algorithm MaxEnt was
 selected to predict both the historical (i.e., pre-1960) and
 contemporaneous distributions for each species using separate occurrence
 datasets. These models permit the identification of suitable habitat loss
 through range contractions associated with human disturbance. Predictions
 of suitable habitat losses were recorded for multiple species but were
 greatest for A. abnormis and A. internata. These models serve to guide
 future collection efforts and to further describe patterns of regional
 biodiversity loss. The data presented within this dataset contain the
 occurrence data used for modeling with distinction between temporal
 periods modeled.
description: These collection data are representative of specimens stored in
 regional institutions that were viewed and compiled by R.E.D. and
 colleagues. This curated dataset includes specimen collection data for
 four <em>Acroneuria </em>species from 20 regional
 institutions. Collection data were associated with a WGS84 longitude and
 latitude from the locality description available. These data are
 distinguished between pre-1960 and post-1960 temporal periods for range
 dynamics modeling.

title: Increased initial task difficulty drives social foragers to develop sub-optimal conformity instead of adaptive diversity

description: The extent to which animal societies exhibit social conformity as opposed
 to behavioural diversity is commonly attributed to adaptive learning
 strategies. Less attention is given to the possibility that the relative
 difficulty of learning a task socially as opposed to individually can be
 critical for social learning dynamics. Here we show that by raising
 initial task difficulty, house sparrows previously shown to exhibit
 adaptive social diversity become predominantly conformists. The task we
 used required opening feeding well covers (easier to learn socially) and
 to choose the covers with the rewarding cues (easy to learn individually).
 We replicated a previous study where sparrows exhibited adaptive
 diversity, but did not pre-train the naive sparrows to open covers, making
 the task initially more difficult. In sharp contrast to the previous study
 results, most sparrows continued to conform to the demonstrated cue even
 after experiencing greater success with the alternative rewarding cue for
 which competition was less intense. Thus, our study shows that a
 task's cognitive demands, such as the initial dependency on social
 demonstration, can change the entire learning dynamics, causing social
 animals to exhibit sub-optimal social conformity rather than adaptive
 diversity under otherwise identical conditions.

title: Data for: Chemical composition and formation of secondary marine aerosol during the Sea Spray and Particle Evolution (SeaSCAPE) Experiment

description: Marine aerosol can impact atmospheric radiative balance and cloud
 formation. The formation mechanisms, growth pathways, and composition of
 ultrafine (&lt;100 nm diameter) marine aerosol formed through
 secondary processes generally remain uncertain. Here, we present
 measurements of the composition of ultrafine secondary marine aerosol
 (SMA) during the Sea Spray Chemistry and Particle Evolution (SeaSCAPE)
 experiment, conducted at Scripps Institution of Oceanography in 
 summer 2019. SMA was produced through the equivalent of one day of
 hydroxyl radical exposure to gaseous precursors emitted from coastal sea
 water from Scripps Pier in La Jolla, CA. The composition of ultrafine SMA
 was measured using Thermal Desorption Chemical Ionization Mass
 Spectrometry and mass fractions of calibrated species were determined.
 These composition measurements were compared to concentrations of the
 potential gaseous precursors dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide,
 methanethiol, monoterpenes and isoprene. At times of high
 sulfur-containing gaseous precursors, more ultrafine SMA particles were
 generated and they contained higher fractions of particulate sulfate and
 methanesulfonate. The mass fractions of calibrated species were more
 substantial early in the measurement period, when seawater heterotrophic
 bacteria and sulfur-containing gas concentrations were highest.
 Significant fractions of dimethylaminium and ammonium were measured early
 in the measurement period and we infer that the conjugate bases were
 neutralized by organic acids as well as sulfuric and methanesulfonic
 acids. We also detected organic compounds in ultrafine SMA. These common
 organic compounds consist of oxidized organics with low volatilities and
 were always present in SMA even during periods of low ocean water
 biological activity.

title: Reduced parasite burden in feral honeybee colonies

description: Bee parasites are the main threat to apiculture and since many parasite
 taxa can spill over from honeybees (Apis mellifera) to other bee species,
 honeybee disease management is important for pollinator conservation in
 general. It is unknown whether honeybees that escaped from apiaries (i.e.
 feral colonies) benefit from natural parasite‐reducing mechanisms like
 swarming or suffer from high parasite pressure due to the lack of medical
 treatment. In the latter case, they could function as parasite reservoirs
 and pose a risk to the health of managed honeybees (spillback) and wild
 bees (spillover). We compared the occurrence of 18 microparasites among
 managed (N = 74) and feral (N = 64) honeybee colony samples from four
 regions in Germany using qPCR. We distinguished five colony types
 representing differences in colony age and management histories, two
 variables potentially modulating parasite prevalence. Besides strong
 regional variation in parasite communities, parasite burden was
 consistently lower in feral than in managed colonies. The overall number
 of detected parasite taxa per colony was 15% lower and Trypanosomatidae,
 chronic bee paralysis virus, and deformed wing viruses A and B were less
 prevalent and abundant in feral colonies than in managed colonies.
 Parasite burden was lowest in newly founded feral colonies, intermediate
 in overwintered feral colonies and managed nucleus colonies, and highest
 in overwintered managed colonies and hived swarms. Our study confirms the
 hypothesis that the natural mode of colony reproduction and dispersal by
 swarming temporally reduces parasite pressure in honeybees. We conclude
 that feral colonies are unlikely to contribute significantly to the spread
 of bee diseases. There is no conflict between the conservation of
 wild‐living honeybees and the management of diseases in apiculture.

title: Data for: Differential genotype response to increased resource abundance helps explain parallel evolution of Daphnia populations in the wild

description: Under controlled laboratory conditions, previous studies have shown that
 selection can produce repeatable evolutionary trajectories. Yet, the
 question remains for many of these studies if, given identical starting
 populations, evolution in the wild proceeds in a non-random direction. In
 the present study, we investigated the extent to which rapid evolution in
 the wild is parallel by monitoring the genetic composition of replicate
 populations of Daphnia in field mesocosms containing two clonal genotypes.
 We found parallel changes across all nine mesocosms, in which the same
 genotype increased in frequency. To probe whether genotype-specific
 response to resource abundance could have led to this frequency change, we
 conducted a life-history assay under high resource abundance and low
 resource abundance. We found that resource exploitation differed by
 genotype, in that, while one genotype (the winner in the field mesocosms)
 was more fit than the other genotype at high resources, the other genotype
 performed slightly better at low resources. We suspect that levels of
 resource abundance found in the summer field mesocosms had values in which
 the genotype better with abundant resources had the advantage. These
 findings suggest that variation in certain traits associated with resource
 acquisition can drive genotype frequency change.

title: Data from: Genetic mark-recapture analysis of winter faecal pellets allows estimation of population size in sage grouse Centrocercus urophasianus

description: Sex ratio, and the extent to which it varies over time, is an important
 factor in the demography, management, and conservation of wildlife
 populations. We estimated pre-breeding sex ratio of greater sage-grouse
 (Centrocercus urophasianus) in a peripheral, geographically isolated
 population in northwestern Colorado during two consecutive winters using
 closed-population, robust-design, multi-state, genetic mark-recapture
 models in program MARK (White and Burnham 1999). This data release
 includes the data files (.inp format) used in those models, as described
 in Shyvers et al. 2023. The data include capture histories and auxiliary
 data for individual greater sage-grouse collected during two study
 seasons: Season 1 (winter 2012-2013) and Season 2 (winter 2013-2014) and
 are readable using program MARK or notepad. Each data row includes the
 unique bird identification number (GMR-ID); the bird’s encounter history
 for n= sampling occasions coded as a static state (M = male, F = female);
 the group ID; and a region covariate (0 = North, 1 = South). The data were
 adapted from those originally developed for Shyvers et al.
 2020 and applied using Closed Robust Design Multi-state (CRDMS)
 Huggins' p and c w/state probabilities in program MARK to obtain
 estimates of Omega, enabling estimation of sex ratio with associated
 confidence intervals (see Shyvers et al. 2023). References: Shyvers, J.E.,

title: Island area and remoteness shape plant and soil bacterial diversity through land use and biological invasion

description: Biodiversity is declining dramatically due to human-driven land use change
 and biological invasion, but our knowledge of how such drivers influence
 plant and heterotroph diversity on island ecosystems remains limited.
 Historically island biogeography theory has focused solely on the direct
 effects of island size and remoteness on biodiversity, but these factors
 can also indirectly affect species gain and/or loss by impacting land use
 change and biological invasion. We built the structural equation model to
 explore the direct effects of island size and remoteness, and indirect
 effects of these factors via land use intensity and pinewood nematode
 invasion, on the diversity of plants and soil bacteria across 37
 continental shelf islands in the largest land-bridge archipelago in
 eastern China. As expected we found that increasing island area directly
 promoted plant diversity. However, land use intensity increased with
 island area which also promoted plant diversity, and loss of pine forest
 by the pinewood nematode invasion increased with island remoteness which
 reduced plant diversity. Island remoteness only indirectly reduced plant
 diversity through increasing pine forest loss. Soil bacterial diversity
 was directly negatively impacted by island remoteness, and indirectly
 negatively impacted by island remoteness through increased soil electrical
 conductivity likely caused by greater salinity from sea spray.
 Furthermore, soil bacterial diversity was indirectly promoted by island
 area through increased plant diversity and decreased soil electrical
 conductivity, and indirectly reduced by pine forest loss through decreased
 plant diversity. Our findings highlight that island biogeography theory
 has relevance to understanding human impacts in the Anthropocene, and that
 there is a need to more explicitly recognize how island size and
 remoteness affect biodiversity not only directly, but also indirectly via
 their effects on human-induced drivers of biodiversity, such as land use
 change and biological invasion.
description: All the data are measured or collected from the 37 islands that
 vary in area, remoteness, and land use intensity in the Zhoushan
 Archipelago. The field measurements were permitted by the local
 government.

title: Impacts of climate-driven changes in habitat phenology on dynamics of niche overlaps and spatial associations in a boreal waterbird community

description: A fundamental, yet little explored question is if climate change has
 affected niche relationships and spatial associations of native
 non-invasive species in established local communities, potentially
 affecting interspecific interactions and community organization. Here,
 long-term (1991–2020) changes in habitat niche overlaps (HNO) and spatial
 associations (SA) were studied in relation to climate-driven changes in
 habitat phenology in a community of eight migratory waterbird species
 breeding on 37 lakes in southeastern Finland. Overall timing of ice-out
 (IOD) and within-season variation in the timing of ice-out (standard
 deviation of IOD; SDIOD) in lakes determine habitat availability for
 waterbirds during the settling phase. Previous work has documented that
 IOD has advanced and SDIOD increased during the study period, with species
 responding differently to these changes in their habitat use. HNO and SA
 varied considerably in the 28 species pairs during the study period. The
 effect of IOD and SDIOD on that variation was generally small. However,
 the direction and magnitude of the effects of IOD and SDIOD on HNO and SA
 varied considerably among the species pairs. Overall differences in the
 direction and magnitude of the effect sizes suggested that the impacts of
 IOD and SDIOD on HNO and SA were stronger in species pairs in which the
 species were more similar in terms of settling phenology and stronger for
 early settling species than for late settling species. Observed changes in
 niche relationships probably reflect changes in interspecific interactions
 and affect the possibilities for heterospecific information use in habitat
 selection.

title: Dataset for: Advanced clones of group B1 cycle 5, population B (B1C5) in Comas-Peru

description: Group B1, cycle B1C5 of Population B (fifth cycle of recombination of the pure native Andigena group B1), is the result of a new population improvement strategy in the absence of R- genes started at CIP in 1990. The group B1 derives from the primitive cultivars of Solanum tuberosum ssp. andigena, known to be free of R genes. These clones were planted in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 2-4 replicates at Comas, located at 2400 to 2788 masl in Junin situated in the Central mountain ranges in Peru. The trials were established at Comas due to high disease pressure of late blight, disease endemic, highly favorable for disease development and severity during the rainy periods in these areas from 2005-2006.

title: Afforestation and abandonment of semi-natural grasslands lead to biodiversity loss and a decline in ecosystem services and functions

description: 1. During the past century, semi-natural grasslands, once widespread
 throughout Europe, have largely been converted into intensively managed
 agricultural areas, abandoned or afforested. These large-scale land-use
 changes have already resulted in considerable biodiversity loss but can
 also lead to a decline in ecosystem service provision and ecosystem
 multifunctionality. 2. We assessed the impact of afforestation and
 abandonment of semi-natural grasslands on the supply of ecosystem services
 in Western Estonia. We compared a wide array of services provided by open
 grasslands, abandoned grasslands, and afforested grasslands. Additionally,
 we analysed the impact of land-use change and species richness on
 ecosystem multifunctionality. 3. Significant declines in the supply of
 pollination service, natural pest regulation, forage production, soil
 quality, wild food, and cultural appreciation of landscape were detected
 as a result of overgrowing or afforestation. 4. There was a significant
 positive relationship between species richness and ecosystem
 multifunctionality, i.e. more biodiverse grasslands were able to support
 more services at a higher capacity. 5. Results show that both grassland
 degradation due to abandonment, as well as grassland afforestation, have
 significant negative impacts on biodiversity, on the supply of multiple
 important ecosystem services and on the ecosystem multifunctionality. 6.
 Synthesis and applications. Temperate semi-natural grasslands have high
 biodiversity and capacity to deliver multiple important ecosystem services
 simultaneously. Conservation and restoration of grassland habitats must be
 considered as an important part of sustainable landscape planning.
description: Data were collected during LIFE+
 Nature project LIFE to alvars (LIFE13 NAT/EE/000082), a large-scale
 restoration project of calcareous grasslands in Estonia that restored 2500
 ha of overgrown and afforested grasslands. Fieldworks were carried out in
 2014–2016, prior to the restoration activities. Collected data was used to
 analyse the effect of overgrowing and afforestation on biodiversity,
 ecosystem services and their indicator values for the manuscript
 "Afforestation and abandonment of semi-natural grasslands lead to
 biodiversity loss and a decline in ecosystem services and functions"

title: Data for: Ranking the importance of factors driving siring success during sperm competition in the North African houbara bustard

description: Sperm competition is a powerful force driving the evolution of ejaculate
 and sperm traits. However, the outcome of sperm competition depends on
 many traits that extend beyond ejaculate quality. Here, we studied male
 North African houbara bustards (Chlamydotis undulata undulata) competing
 for egg fertilization, after artificial insemination, with the aim to rank
 the importance of 14 parameters as drivers of siring success. Using a
 machine learning approach, we showed that traits independent of male
 quality (i.e., insemination order, delay between insemination and egg
 laying) were the most important predictors of siring success. Traits
 describing intrinsic male quality (i.e., number of sperm in the ejaculate,
 mass motility index) were also positively associated with siring success,
 but their contribution to explaining the outcome of sperm competition was
 much lower than for insemination order. Overall, this analysis shows that
 males mating at the last position in the mating sequence have the best
 chance to win the competition for egg fertilization. This raises the
 question of the importance of female behavior as determinant of mating
 order. 
description: The dataset includes variables related to the fertilization
 success of male North African houbara bustards after artificial
 insemination of females. The data have been collected over years on
 individuals maintained in captivity for the purpose of a conservation
 breeding program. The data have been processed using a machine learning
 approach with the aim of ranking the importance of each of the variables
 included in the model as predictors of male fertilization success when
 competing with the sperm of other males.
