title: Data from: Noise affects nest box choice of 2 competing songbird species, but not their reproduction

description: Anthropogenic noise levels are steadily increasing worldwide and may
 potentially affect many species. Short-term experimental noise exposure
 under field and lab conditions has revealed that noise can affect the
 behavior and physiology of birds. However, few studies have been able to
 link these short-term effects to longer-term consequences. Here, we report
 on 2 long-term noise exposure field experiments to assess the direct and
 indirect effects of noise on avian reproductive success. In one
 experiment, we provided 2 types of nesting sites in our study area, a
 nest-box with traffic noise broadcast inside, as well as a control
 nest-box. We found great tits (Parus major) to avoid breeding in noisy
 nest-boxes, in particular when they had both nest-box types available in
 their territory. Interestingly, we found blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus)
 to breed more often in the noisy nest-boxes compared with the control
 nest-boxes. In another experiment, we randomly assigned nest-box
 treatments to breeding great tits after settlement and started noise
 exposure prior to egg laying or hatching. We found no significant effect
 of noise treatment on clutch size, number of fledglings, or any other
 life-history trait we measured. Our results show that great tits avoid
 breeding in noisy locations. Birds that are however forced to breed in
 noise, either through experimental manipulation or potentially through
 competitive exclusion, do not suffer from reduced reproductive success.
 Thus, anthropogenic noise can affect settlement behavior, but breeding
 inside a noisy nest-box has no reproductive consequences, at least not for
 great tits.

title: Data from: Exploiting the richest patch has a fitness pay-off for the migratory swift parrot

description: 1. Unlike philopatric migrants, the ecology of nomadic migrants is less
 well understood. This life-history strategy reflects responses to
 spatiotemporal variation in resource availability and the need to find
 resource rich patches to initiate breeding. The fitness consequences of
 movements between regions of patchily distributed resources can provide
 insight into ecology of all migrants and their responses to global change.
 2. We link broad-scale data on spatiotemporal fluctuation in food
 availability to data on settlement patterns and fitness outcomes for a
 nomadic migrant, the endangered swift parrot Lathamus discolor. We test
 several predictions to determine whether facultative movements are
 adaptive for individual swift parrots in an environment where resources
 are patchily distributed over time and space. 3. Variation in the
 availability of swift parrot food resources across our study period was
 dramatic. As a consequence, swift parrots moved to breed wherever food was
 most abundant and did not resettle nesting regions in successive years
 when food availability declined. By moving, swift parrots exploited a
 variable food resource and reproduced successfully. 4. Exploiting the
 richest patches allowed swift parrots to maintain stable fitness outcomes
 between discrete breeding events at different locations. Unlike sedentary
 species that often produce few or lower quality offspring when food is
 scarce, nomadic migration buffered swift parrots against extreme
 environmental variation. 5. We provide the first detailed evidence that
 facultative movements and nomadic migration are adaptive for individuals
 in unpredictable environments. Our data support the widely held assumption
 that nomadic migration allows animals to escape resource limitation.

title: Data from: Mitochondrial gene diversity associated with the atp9 stop codon in natural populations of wild carrot (Daucus carota ssp. carota)

description: Mitochondrial genomes extracted from wild populations of Daucus carota
 have been used as a genetic resource by breeders of cultivated carrot, yet
 little is known concerning the extent of their diversity in nature. Of
 special interest is a SNP in the putative stop codon of the mitochondrial
 gene atp9 that has been associated previously with male-sterile and
 male-fertile phenotypic variants. In this study either sequence or
 PCR/RFLP genotypes were obtained from the mitochondrial genes atp1, atp9
 and cox1 found in D. carota individuals collected from 24 populations in
 the eastern U.S. More than half of the 128 individuals surveyed had a CAA
 or AAA, rather than TAA, genotype at the position usually thought to
 function as an atp9 stop codon in this species. We also found no evidence
 for mitochondrial RNA editing (Cytosine to Uridine) of the CAA stop codon
 in either floral or leaf tissue. Evidence for intra-genic recombination,
 as opposed the more common inter-genic recombination in plant
 mitochondrial genomes, in our data set is presented. Indel and SNP
 variants elsewhere in atp9, and in the other two genes surveyed, were
 non-randomly associated with the three atp9 stop codon variants, though
 further analysis suggested that multi-locus genotypic diversity had been
 enhanced by recombination. Overall the mitochondrial genetic diversity was
 only modestly structured among populations with an Fst of 0.34.

title: Data from: Genetic architecture of inbreeding depression and the maintenance of gametophytic self-incompatibility

description: Gametophytic self-incompatibility is a widespread genetic system, which
 enables hermaphroditic plants to avoid self-fertilization and mating with
 close relatives. Inbreeding depression is thought to be the major force
 maintaining self-incompatibility; however, inbreeding depression is a
 dynamical variable that depends in particular on the mating system. In
 this paper we use multilocus, individual based simulations to examine the
 co-evolution of self-incompatibility and inbreeding depression within
 finite populations. We focus on the conditions for the maintenance of
 self-incompatibility when self-compatible mutants are introduced in the
 population by recurrent mutation, and compare simulation results with
 predictions from an analytical model treating inbreeding depression as a
 fixed parameter (thereby neglecting effects of purging within the
 self-compatible sub-population). In agreement with previous models, we
 observe that the maintenance of self-incompatibility is associated with
 high inbreeding depression and is facilitated by high rates of
 self-pollination. Purging of deleterious mutations by self-compatible
 mutants has little effect on the spread of those mutants as long as most
 deleterious alleles have weak fitness effects: in this case, the genetic
 architecture of inbreeding depression has little effect on the maintenance
 of self-incompatibility. By contrast, purging may greatly enhance the
 spread of self-compatible mutants when deleterious alleles have strong
 fitness effects.

title: Data from: Integration of two herbivore-induced plant volatiles results in synergistic effects on plant defense and resistance

description: Plants can use induced volatiles to detect herbivore‐ and
 pathogen‐attacked neighbors and prime their defenses. Several individual
 volatile priming cues have been identified, but whether plants are able to
 integrate multiple cues from stress‐related volatile blends remains poorly
 understood. Here, we investigated how maize plants respond to two
 herbivore‐induced volatile priming cues with complementary information
 content, the green leaf volatile (Z)‐3‐hexenyl acetate (HAC) and the
 aromatic volatile indole. In the absence of herbivory, HAC directly
 induced defense gene expression, while indole had no effect. Upon
 induction by simulated herbivory, both volatiles increased jasmonate
 signaling, defense gene expression and defensive secondary metabolite
 production and increased plant resistance. Defenses and resistance in
 dual‐volatile exposed plants were more strongly induced than in plants
 exposed to single volatiles. Induced defense levels in dual
 volatile‐exposed plants were significantly higher than predicted from the
 added effects of the individual volatiles, with the exception of induced
 plant volatile production, which showed no increase upon dual‐exposure
 relative to single exposure. Thus, plants can integrate different volatile
 cues into strong and specific responses that promote herbivore defense
 induction and resistance. Integrating multiple volatiles may be
 beneficial, as volatile blends are more reliable indicators of future
 stress than single cues.

title: Data from: Number sense and state-dependent valuation in cuttlefish

description: Identifying the amount of prey available is an important part of an
 animal's foraging behaviour. The risk-sensitive foraging theory
 predicts that an organism's foraging decisions with regard to food
 rewards depending upon its satiation level. However, the precise
 interaction between optimal risk-tolerance and satiation level remains
 unclear. In this study, we examined, firstly, whether cuttlefish, with one
 of the most highly evolved nervous system among the invertebrates, have
 number sense, and secondly, whether their valuation of food reward is
 satiation state dependent. When food such as live shrimps is present,
 without training, cuttlefish turn toward the prey and initiate seizure
 behaviour. Using this visual attack behaviour as a measure, cuttlefish
 showed a preference for a larger quantity when faced with two-alternative
 forced choice tasks (1 versus 2, 2 versus 3, 3 versus 4 and 4 versus 5).
 However, cuttlefish preferred the small quantity when the choice was
 between one live and two dead shrimps. More importantly, when the choice
 was between one large live shrimp and two small live shrimps (a prey size
 and quantity trade-off), the cuttlefish chose the large single shrimp when
 they felt hunger, but chose the two smaller prey when they were satiated.
 These results demonstrate that cuttlefish are capable of number
 discrimination and that their choice of prey number depends on the quality
 of the prey and on their appetite state. The findings also suggest that
 cuttlefish integrate both internal and external information when making a
 foraging decision and that the cost of obtaining food is inversely
 correlated with their satiation level, a phenomenon similar to the
 observation that metabolic state alters economic decision making under
 risk among humans.

title: Data from: Advection by ocean currents modifies phytoplankton size structure

description: Advection by ocean currents modifies phytoplankton size structure at small
 scales (1–10 cm) by aggregating cells in different regions of the flow
 depending on their size. This effect is caused by the inertia of the cells
 relative to the displaced fluid. It is considered that, at larger scales
 (greater than or equal to 1 km), biological processes regulate the
 heterogeneity in size structure. Here, we provide observational evidence
 of heterogeneity in phytoplankton size structure driven by ocean currents
 at relatively large scales (1–10 km). Our results reveal changes in the
 phytoplankton size distribution associated with the coastal circulation
 patterns. A numerical model that incorporates the inertial properties of
 phytoplankton confirms the role of advection on the distribution of
 phytoplankton according to their size except in areas with enhanced
 nutrient inputs where phytoplankton dynamics is ruled by other processes.
 The observed preferential concentration mechanism has important ecological
 consequences that range from the phytoplankton level to the whole
 ecosystem.

title: Data from: Weak population structure in European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and evidence of introgressive hybridization with Siberian roe deer (C. pygargus) in northeastern Poland

description: We investigated contemporary and historical influences on the pattern of
 genetic diversity of European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus). The study
 was conducted in northeastern Poland, a zone where vast areas of primeval
 forests are conserved and where the European roe deer was never driven to
 extinction. A total of 319 unique samples collected in three sampling
 areas were genotyped at 16 microsatellites and one fragment (610 bp) of
 mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region. Genetic diversity was high, and
 a low degree of genetic differentiation among sampling areas was observed
 with both microsatellites and mtDNA. No evidence of genetic
 differentiation between roe deer inhabiting open fields and forested areas
 was found, indicating that the ability of the species to exploit these
 contrasting environments might be the result of its phenotypic plasticity.
 Half of the studied individuals carried an mtDNA haplotype that did not
 belong to C. capreolus, but to a related species that does not occur
 naturally in the area, the Siberian roe deer (C. pygargus). No
 differentiation between individuals with Siberian and European mtDNA
 haplotypes was detected at microsatellite loci. Introgression of mtDNA of
 Siberian roe deer into the genome of European roe deer has recently been
 detected in eastern Europe. Such introgression might be caused by
 human-mediated translocations of Siberian roe deer within the range of
 European roe deer or by natural hybridization between these species in the
 past.

title: Data from: Edge effects on components of diversity and above-ground biomass in a tropical rainforest

description: 1. Edge effects are among the most significant consequences of forest
 fragmentation. Therefore, understanding the impacts of edge creation on
 biodiversity is crucial for forest management and biological conservation.
 2. In this study, we used trait-based and phylogenetic approaches to
 examine the effects of fragmentation on components of diversity and
 above-ground biomass of rainforest tree communities in Madagascar in
 forest edge vs. interior habitats. 3. Tree communities in forest edges
 showed lower phylogenetic diversity relative to those in interior
 habitats, suggesting that some clades may be more vulnerable to
 environmental filtering than others. Functional diversity was also
 significantly lower on the edge for productivity traits, but not for
 dispersal traits. Tree communities in the forest edge showed higher
 divergence of dispersal traits and lower divergence in productivity traits
 than expected by chance, while functional diversity in interior forest did
 not differ from random expectations. This suggests separate mechanisms
 affect productivity traits vs. dispersal traits in edge habitat. 4. There
 was no significant difference in above-ground biomass between edge and
 interior habitats, suggesting that edge effects have not yet negatively
 influenced the forest’s potential for carbon storage. However, these
 changes may not have occurred yet, given the slow turnover of tree
 communities. 5. Synthesis and applications: Our results highlight the role
 of edge effects in the erosion of functional and phylogenetic diversity of
 highly diverse tree communities. While above-ground biomass did not appear
 to be affected by forest edge in our study, we suggest long-term
 monitoring of forests for potential changes in ecosystem functioning.
 Given the prevalence of forest fragmentation globally, these findings
 indicate the need for more holistic biodiversity studies to better
 understand local consequences of forest fragmentation.11-Jul-2017

title: Data from: The association between exposure to environmental bisphenol A and gonadotropic hormone levels among men

description: Bisphenol A (BPA) is an extensively used chemical with endocrine
 disrupting properties. Although animal and in vivo studies have suggested
 possible effects of BPA on levels of gonadotropic hormones, human studies
 are limited and inconclusive. The study examined whether environmental BPA
 exposure was associated with gonadotropic hormones levels in men. A total
 of 560 men aged 18–55 years were recruited from Sandu County, Guizhou
 Province, China. We collected urine samples for measurement of BPA, and
 blood samples for measurement of reproductive hormones. We examined serum
 levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH),
 and total testosterone (T). Relative risk (RR) was obtained by
 log-binominal regression to explore the association between urinary BPA
 level and hormone levels. BPA was detected in 70.4% of urine samples, with
 a geometric mean of 0.50 μg/gCr. Men with detectable levels of BPA had a
 1.52-fold increased risk of having a high LH level (&gt;75th
 percentile) when compared with men with undetectable levels of BPA, after
 adjustment for potential confounders (95% confidence interval (CI):
 1.04–2.21). The association persisted and slightly intensified among
 current smokers (adjusted RR (aRR) = 1.76, 95%CI: 1.05–2.95), while it
 weakened among non-smokers (aRR = 1.17, 95%CI: 0.69–1.96). Urinary BPA
 level was associated with an increased FSH level among smokers (aRR =
 1.64, 95%CI: 1.01–2.67). Urinary BPA level was inversely associated with
 total T level among males with body max index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m2 although
 this association was of borderline significance (aRR = 0.52, 95%CI:
 0.26–1.05). In conclusion, environmental exposure to BPA was associated
 with increased serum levels of LH and FSH in male smokers, along with
 decreased serum levels of total T in men with BMI≥25 kg/m2. These findings
 suggest that the effects of environmental BPA exposure on hormone levels
 might be modified by smoking and BMI.

title: Data from: Minor environmental concentrations of antibiotics can modify bacterial virulence in co-infection with a non-targeted parasite

description: Leakage of medical residues into the environment can significantly impact
 natural communities. For example, antibiotic contamination from
 agriculture and aquaculture can directly influence targeted pathogens, but
 also other non-targeted taxa of commensals and parasites that regularly
 co-occur and co-infect the same host. Consequently, antibiotics could
 significantly alter interspecific interactions and epidemiology of the
 co-infecting parasite community. We studied how minor environmental
 concentration of antibiotic affects the coinfection of two parasites, the
 bacterium Flavobacterium columnare and the fluke Diplostomum
 pseudospathaceum, in their fish host. We found that antibiotic in feed,
 and particularly the minute concentration in water, significantly
 decreased bacterial virulence and changed the infection success of the
 flukes. These effects depended on the level of antibiotic resistance of
 the bacterial strains. Antibiotic, however, did not compensate for the
 higher virulence of co-infections. Our results demonstrate that even very
 low environmental concentration of antibiotic can influence ecology and
 epidemiology of diseases in co-infection with non-targeted parasites.
 Leakage of antibiotics into the environment may thus have more complex
 effects on disease ecology than previously anticipated.

title: Supplementary Material for: The Study of Intelligent Scoring Tools for Acute Posterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke

description: Background and purpose
Posterior Circulation Acute Stroke Prognosis Early Computed Tomography Scores 
(PC-ASPECTS) is crucial for diagnosing, treating, and predicting the prognosis of acute ischemic stroke in patients with posterior circulation involvement. However, physicians take longer to score patients' pc-ASPECTS and inter-rater reliability is low among different physicians. To address this issue, we developed an intelligent scoring model using artificial intelligence technology to enhance the accuracy and consistency of these scores.
Methods
Retrospective clinical and imaging data from multiple stroke centers were used to train and validate a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based model. The model identified early ischemic changes in predefined posterior circulation regions. Performance was evaluated using standard metrics (e.g., AUC, sensitivity, specificity) and compared to manual scoring by clinicians.
Results
A total of 674 patients with complete data were included in the study, 536 patients (mean age, 56 years ± 12 [SD]; 298 [55.6%] female) were included for model development (training: 300; validation: 129; and internal test set: 107). Another 138 patients (mean age, 59 years ± 14; 90 [65.2%] female) were included in an external test set to evaluate model’s performance and generalizability. The PC-ASPECTS intelligent scoring model demonstrated strong discriminative ability across all regions (AUC range: 0.687–0.805). It significantly improved inter-rater consistency (kappa: 0.317 to 0.711) and reduced scoring time compared to clinicians (2–5 seconds vs. 25–90 seconds, p&lt; 0.05).
Conclusions
The PC-ASPECTS intelligent scoring model developed in this study demonstrated commendable performance. Utilizing this prediction model, the consistency of PC-ASPECTS scoring among clinical physicians was improved and efficiency was significantly enhanced.
