title: Data from: Sexual selection on male vocal fundamental frequency in humans and other anthropoids

description: In many primates, including humans, the vocalizations of males and females
 differ dramatically, with male vocalizations and vocal anatomy often
 seeming to exaggerate apparent body size. These traits may be favoured by
 sexual selection because low-frequency male vocalizations intimidate
 rivals and/or attract females, but this hypothesis has not been
 systematically tested across primates, nor is it clear why competitors and
 potential mates should attend to vocalization frequencies. Here we show
 across anthropoids that sexual dimorphism in fundamental frequency (F0)
 increased during evolutionary transitions towards polygyny, and decreased
 during transitions towards monogamy. Surprisingly, humans exhibit greater
 F0 sexual dimorphism than any other ape. We also show that low-F0
 vocalizations predict perceptions of men’s dominance and attractiveness,
 and predict hormone profiles (low cortisol and high testosterone) related
 to immune function. These results suggest that low male F0 signals
 condition to competitors and mates, and evolved in male anthropoids in
 response to the intensity of mating competition.

title: Data from: EMMLi: a maximum likelihood approach to the analysis of modularity

description: Identification of phenotypic modules, semiautonomous sets of highly
 correlated traits, can be accomplished through exploratory (e.g., cluster
 analysis) or confirmatory approaches (e.g., RV coefficient analysis).
 Although statistically more robust, confirmatory approaches are generally
 unable to compare across different model structures. For example, RV
 coefficient analysis finds support for both two- and six-module models for
 the therian mammalian skull. Here, we present a maximum likelihood
 approach that takes into account model parameterization. We compare model
 log-likelihoods of trait correlation matrices using the finite-sample
 corrected Akaike Information Criterion, allowing for comparison of
 hypotheses across different model structures. Simulations varying model
 complexity and within- and between-module contrast demonstrate that this
 method correctly identifies model structure and parameters across a wide
 range of conditions. We further analyzed a dataset of 3-D data, consisting
 of 61 landmarks from 181 macaque (Macaca fuscata) skulls, distributed
 among five age categories, testing 31 models, including no modularity
 among the landmarks and various partitions of two, three, six, and eight
 modules. Our results clearly support a complex six-module model, with
 separate within- and intermodule correlations. Furthermore, this model was
 selected for all five age categories, demonstrating that this complex
 pattern of integration in the macaque skull appears early and is highly
 conserved throughout postnatal ontogeny. Subsampling analyses demonstrate
 that this method is robust to relatively low sample sizes, as is commonly
 encountered in rare or extinct taxa. This new approach allows for the
 direct comparison of models with different parameterizations, providing an
 important tool for the analysis of modularity across diverse systems.

title: Data from: Differential adaptation to a harsh granite outcrop habitat between sympatric Mimulus species

description: Understanding which environmental variables and traits underlie adaptation
 to harsh environments is difficult since many traits evolve simultaneously
 as populations or species diverge. Here we investigate the ecological
 variables and traits that underlie Mimulus laciniatus’ adaptation to
 granite outcrops compared to its sympatric, mesic-adapted progenitor M.
 guttatus. We use fine scale measurements of soil moisture and herbivory to
 examine differences in selective forces between the species’ habitats, and
 measure selection on flowering time, flower size, plant height, and leaf
 shape in a reciprocal transplant using M. laciniatus x M. guttatus F4
 hybrids. We find that differences in drought & herbivory drive
 survival differences between habitats, that M. laciniatus and M. guttatus
 are each better adapted to their native habitat, and differential habitat
 selection on flowering time, plant stature, and leaf shape. While early
 flowering time, small stature, and lobed leaf shape underlie plant fitness
 in M. laciniatus’ seasonally dry environment, increased plant size is
 advantageous in a competitive mesic environment replete with herbivores
 like M. guttatus’. Given that we observed divergent selection between
 habitats in the direction of species differences, we conclude that
 adaptation to different microhabitats is an important component of
 reproductive isolation in this sympatric species pair.

title: Data from: Active site loop conformation regulates promiscuous activity in a lactonase from Geobacillus kaustophilus HTA426

description: Enzyme promiscuity is a prerequisite for fast divergent evolution of
 biocatalysts. A phosphotriesterase-like lactonase (PLL) from Geobacillus
 kaustophilus HTA426 (GkaP) exhibits main lactonase and promiscuous
 phosphotriesterase activities. To understand its catalytic and
 evolutionary mechanisms, we investigated a “hot spot” in the active site
 by saturation mutagenesis as well as X-ray crystallographic analyses. We
 found that position 99 in the active site was involved in substrate
 discrimination. One mutant, Y99L, exhibited 11-fold improvement over
 wild-type in reactivity (kcat/Km) toward the phosphotriesterase substrate
 ethyl-paraoxon, but showed 15-fold decrease toward the lactonase substrate
 δ-decanolactone, resulting in a 157-fold inversion of the substrate
 specificity. Structural analysis of Y99L revealed that the mutation causes
 a ~6.6 Å outward shift of adjacent loop 7, which may cause increased
 flexibility of the active site and facilitate accommodation and/or
 catalysis of organophosphate substrate. This study provides for the PLL
 family an example of how the evolutionary route from promiscuity to
 specificity can derive from very few mutations, which promotes alteration
 in the conformational adjustment of the active site loops, in turn draws
 the capacity of substrate binding and activity.

title: Data from: Reproductive conflicts in polyandrous and polygynous ant Formica sanguinea

description: The occurrence of multiple reproductives within an ant colony changes the
 balance between indirect fitness benefits and reproductive competition. We
 test whether the number of matings by an ant queen (polyandry) correlates
 negatively with the number of reproductive queens in the colony
 (polygyny), whether the patrilines and matrilines differ in their
 contribution to the sexual and worker progeny and whether there is an
 overall reproductive skew. For these aims, we genotyped both worker and
 sexual offspring from colonies of the ant Formica sanguinea in three
 populations. Most colonies were monogynous, but eight (11%) were
 polygynous with closely related queens. Most queens in the monogynous
 colonies (86%) had mated with multiple males. The effective paternity was
 lower than the actual number of mates, and the paternity skew was
 significant. Furthermore, in some monogynous colonies, the patrilines were
 differently represented in the worker pupae and sexual pupae produced at
 the same time. Likewise, the matrilines in polygynous colonies were
 differently present in worker pupae and male offspring. The effective
 number of matings by a queen was significantly lower in polygynous
 colonies (mean me = 1.68) than in monogynous colonies (means 2.06–2.61).
 The results give support to the hypotheses that polyandry and polygyny are
 alternative breeding strategies and that reproductive competition can lead
 to different representation of patrilines and matrilines among the sexual
 and worker broods.

title: Data from: Implications of survey effort on estimating demographic parameters of a long-lived marine top predator

description: Effective management of wildlife populations rely on knowledge of their
 abundance, survival and reproductive rates. Maintaining long-term studies
 capable of estimating demographic parameters for long-lived, slow
 reproducing species is challenging. Insights into effects of research
 intensity on the statistical power to estimate demographic parameters is
 limited. Here, we investigate implications of survey effort on estimating
 abundance, home range sizes and reproductive output of Indo-Pacific
 bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus), using a three-year sub-sample of a
 long-term, capture-recapture study off Bunbury, Western Australia.
 Photo-identification on individual dolphins were collected following
 Pollock’s Robust Design, where seasons were defined as ‘primary periods’,
 each consisting of multiple ‘secondary periods’. The full dataset
 consisted of 12 primary periods and 72 secondary periods, resulting in the
 study area being surveyed 24 times/year. We simulated reduced survey
 effort by randomly removing one, two or three secondary periods per
 primary period. Capture-recapture models were used to assess the effect of
 survey intensity on the power to detect trends in population abundance,
 while individual dolphin sighting histories were used to assess the
 ability to conduct home range analyses. We used sighting records of adult
 females and their calving histories to assess survey effort on quantifying
 reproductive output. A 50% reduction in survey effort resulted in: i) up
 to a 36% decline in population abundance at the time of detection; ii) a
 reduced ability to estimate home range sizes, by increasing the time for
 individuals to be sighted on &gt;30 occasions (an often-used metric
 for home range analyses) from 7.74 to 15.46 years; and iii) 33%, 24% and
 33% of annual calving events going undocumented in their year of birth.
 Results clearly illustrate the importance of survey effort on the ability
 to assess demographic parameters with clear implications for population
 viability analyses, population forecasting and conservation efforts to
 manage human-wildlife interactions.

title: Data from: Comparative chemical analysis of volatile compounds of Echinops ilicifolius using hydrodistillation and headspace solid-phase microextraction and the antibacterial activities of its essential oil

description: The volatile compounds from various parts of Echinops ilicifolius
 (Compositae) such as flowers, leaves and roots obtained by
 hydrodistillation (HD) and headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME)
 methods were subsequently analysed by GC and GC/MS and compared.
 Thirty-seven and 20 components of the flower of E. ilicifolius were
 characterized, representing 99.7% and 100.0% of the total compositions
 using the HD and HS-SPME methods, respectively. The major constituents of
 the hydrodistilled oil were identified as linalool (58.6%), geraniol
 (17.4%), n-dodecane (10.9%) and nerol (5.4%), whereas HS-SPME extract was
 rich in n-octane (34.0%), n-decane (25.1%), p-cymene (11.1%), γ-terpinene
 (5.3%) and 1,8-cineole (5.1%). n-Hexadecanoic acid (32.3%), linalool
 (16.4%) and geraniol (8.3%) were the main components among 43 constituents
 identified in hydrodistilled extract of the leaf, representing 99.5% of
 the total components detected, whereas 16 compounds representing 99.9% of
 the HS-SPME method were identified, among which n-decane (32.6%), p-cymene
 (14.0%), n-octane (10.3%), limonene (9.2%), γ-terpinene (9.1%),
 1,8-cineole (7.9%) and α-pinene (5.9%) were the major ones. Among 23
 components comprising 91.2% of the total hydrodistilled oil detected,
 n-decane (23.1%), n-dodecane (14.5%), silphiperfol-4,7(14)-diene (11.1%),
 selin-11-en-4-a-ol (9.5%), n-hexadecanoic acid (7.8%) and n-tetradecane
 (5.3%) were the main constituents in the root of E. ilicifolius, whereas
 1,8-cineole (29.0%), n-decane (12.6%), n-octane (12.6%), camphor (12.0%),
 p-cymene (9.6%) and γ-terpinene (5.9%) were the main components among the
 20 constituents characterized in HS-SPME extract, representing 99.9% of
 the total components detected. The antibacterial activity of the flower,
 leaf and root oils of E. ilicifolius against six Gram-positive and
 Gram-negative bacteria was determined using the MIC method. The growth
 inhibitory zone (mm) was also measured.

title: Data from: Contrasting effects of large density changes on relative testes size in fluctuating populations of sympatric vole species

description: Across species, there is usually a positive relationship between sperm
 competition level and male reproductive effort on ejaculates, typically
 measured using relative testes size (RTS). Within populations, demographic
 and ecological processes may drastically alter the level of sperm
 competition and thus, potentially affect the evolution of testes size.
 Here, we use longitudinal records (across 38 years) from wild sympatric
 Fennoscandian populations of five species of voles to investigate whether
 RTS responds to natural fluctuations in population density, i.e. variation
 in sperm competition risk. We show that for some species RTS increases
 with density. However, our results also show that this relationship can be
 reversed in populations with large-scale between-year differences in
 density. Multiple mechanisms are suggested to explain the negative
 RTS–density relationship, including testes size response to
 density-dependent species interactions, an evolutionary response to sperm
 competition levels that is lagged when density fluctuations are over a
 certain threshold, or differing investment in pre- and post-copulatory
 competition at different densities. The results emphasize that our
 understanding of sperm competition in fluctuating environments is still
 very limited.

title: Data from: Effects of diet on cranial morphology and biting ability in musteloid mammals

description: Size and shape are often considered important variables that lead to
 variation in performance. In studies of feeding, size‐corrected metrics of
 the skull are often used as proxies of biting performance; however, few
 studies have examined the relationship between cranial shape in its
 entirety and estimated bite force across species and how dietary ecologies
 may affect these variables differently. Here, we used geometric
 morphometric and phylogenetic comparative approaches to examine
 relationships between cranial morphology and estimated bite force in the
 carnivoran clade Musteloidea. We found a strong relationship between
 cranial size and estimated bite force but did not find a significant
 relationship between cranial shape and size‐corrected estimated bite
 force. Many‐to‐one mapping of form to function may explain this pattern
 because a variety of evolutionary shape changes rather than a single shape
 change may have contributed to an increase in relative biting ability. We
 also found that dietary ecologies influenced cranial shape evolution but
 did not influence cranial size nor size‐corrected bite force evolution.
 Although musteloids with different diets exhibit variation in cranial
 shapes, they have similar estimated bite forces suggesting that other
 feeding performance metrics and potentially nonfeeding traits are also
 important contributors to cranial evolution. We postulate that axial and
 appendicular adaptations and the interesting feeding behaviours reported
 for species within this group also facilitate different dietary ecologies
 between species. Future work integrating cranial, axial and appendicular
 form and function with behavioural observations will reveal further
 insights into the evolution of dietary ecologies and other ecological
 variables.

title: Data from: Congruent phylogenetic and fossil signatures of mammalian diversification dynamics driven by tertiary abiotic change

description: Computational methods for estimating diversification rates from extant
 species phylogenetic trees have become abundant in evolutionary research.
 However, little evidence exists about how their outcome compares to a
 complementary and direct source of information: the fossil record.
 Furthermore, there is virtually no direct test for the congruence of
 evolutionary rates based on these two sources. This task is only
 achievable in clades with both a well-known fossil record and a complete
 phylogenetic tree. Here, we compare the evolutionary rates of ruminant
 mammals as estimated from their vast paleontological record —over 1200
 species spanning 50 myr— and their living-species phylogeny.
 Significantly, our results revealed that the ruminant's fossil record
 and phylogeny reflect congruent evolutionary processes. The concordance is
 especially strong for the last 25 myr, when living groups became a
 dominant part of ruminant diversity. We found empirical support for
 previous hypotheses based on simulations and neontological data: the
 pattern captured by the tree depends on how clade-specific the processes
 are and which clades are involved. Also, we report fossil-evidence for a
 post-radiation speciation slowdown coupled with constant, moderate
 extinction in the Miocene. The recent deceleration in phylogenetic rates
 is connected to rapid extinction triggered by recent climatic
 fluctuations.
description: Dataset S1 • Fossil
 ruminants occurrencesInformation of ruminant
 species occurrences in the fossil record was compiled from the New and Old
 Worlds (NOW) database (Fortelius 2015) and the Paleobiology Database
 (Alroy 2015), both accessed in July 2014. Taxa not identified at the
 species level were excluded (1763 occurrences; see SI Text for their
 temporal distribution). Subsequently, the combined database was completed
 and refined with information from the literature (see SI Text) and
 information on synonyms provided by the NOW collaborators. This dataset
 contains 9234 fossil occurrences of 1246 ruminant species, spanning the
 last 50 myr. 9186 occurrences correspond to crown ruminants. We followed
 Metáis and Vislovokowa (2007) and considered crown ruminants all families
 except Hypertragulidae, Lophiomerycidae and Archaeomerycidae. Species
 belonging to the six extant families (8558 occurrences, 1100 species)
 represent around 88% of ruminant fossil diversity, being recorded
 continuously since around 24 Ma and making most of the ruminant fossil
 record since around 20 Ma.
