title: Data from: Impaired sperm quality, delayed mating but no costs for offspring fitness in crickets winning a fight

description: The outcome of male-male contest competition is known to affect male
 mating success and is believed to confer fitness benefits to females
 through preference for dominant males. However, by mating with contest
 winners, females can incur significant costs spanning from decreased
 fecundity to negative effects on offspring. Hence identifying costs and
 benefits of male dominance on female fitness is crucial to unravel the
 potential for a conflict of interests between the sexes. Here we
 investigated males’ pre- and post-copulatory reproductive investment and
 its effect on female fitness after a single contest a using the field
 cricket Gryllus bimaculatus. We allowed males to fight, and immediately
 measured their mating behaviour, sperm quality, and offspring viability.
 We found that males experiencing a fight, independently of the outcome,
 delayed matings but their courtship effort was not affected. However,
 winners produced sperm of lower quality (viability) compared to losers and
 to males that did not experience fighting. Results suggest a trade-off in
 resource allocation between pre- and post-mating episodes of sexual
 selection. Despite lower ejaculate quality we found no fitness costs
 (fecundity and viability of offspring) for females mated to winners.
 Overall our findings highlight the importance of considering fighting
 ability when assessing male reproductive success, as winners may be
 impaired in their competitiveness at a post-mating level.

title: Data from: Phylogeography of Chinese house mice (Mus musculus musculus/castaneus): distribution, routes of colonization and geographic regions of hybridization

description: Here, we present a comprehensive analysis of the biogeographic history of
 Chinese house mice based on data from mtDNA control region sequences and
 10 microsatellite loci in 535 individuals sampled from 29 localities.
 Phylogenetic analyses revealed two distinct evolutionary lineages
 corresponding to M. m. castaneus in the South and M. m. musculus in the
 North, with the Yangtze River roughly representing the boundary between
 these subspecies. More detailed analyses using published sequence data
 from mice sampled in neighboring countries revealed the migration routes
 of the two subspecies into China: M. m. castaneus appears to have migrated
 through a southern route (Yunnan and Guangxi), while M. m. musculus
 entered China from Kazakhstan through the northwest border (Xinjiang).
 Bayesian analyses of mitochondrial sequences indicated rapid population
 expansions in both subspecies, approximately 4,650-9,300 years ago for M.
 m. castaneus and approximately 7,150-14,300 years ago for M. m. musculus.
 Interestingly, the migration routes of Chinese house mice coincide with
 the colonization routes of modern humans into China, and the expansion
 times of house mice are consistent with the development of agriculture in
 southern China and northern China respectively. Finally, our study
 confirmed the existence of a hybrid zone between M. m. castaneus and M. m.
 musculus near the Yangtze River. Further study of this hybrid zone will
 provide a useful counterpart to the well-studied hybrid zone between M. m.
 musculus and M. m. domesticus in central Europe.

title: Data from: Proximate causes of variation in dermal armour: insights from armadillo lizards

description: Although it is widely assumed that body armour in animals evolved to
 thwart predator attacks, assessing the role that predators may play in
 shaping defensive morphologies has proven to be difficult. Recent studies
 suggest that body armour might be influenced by additional factors besides
 predation, and/or even by sexual selection. We investigated variation in
 dermal armour in 13 populations of armadillo lizards (Ouroborus
 cataphractus), spanning the entire distribution range of the species. We
 obtained thickness measurements of osteoderms – bony plates embedded in
 dermal layer of the skin – using micro- and nano-computed tomography.
 Using these data, we examined the effects of predation pressure/risk and
 climatic variables on dermal armour variation and addressed sexual and
 ontogenetic influence. Our results show that climate is the only factor
 affecting variation in dermal armour. Populations inhabiting more arid
 environments, characterized by low summer precipitation and mild winter
 temperatures, are relatively more armoured than those present in less arid
 environments. In contrast to our expectations, predation pressure or
 perceived predation risk was not associated with osteoderm thickness. The
 results of our study support the idea that the evolution of defensive
 traits might not be driven exclusively by predator-prey interactions, but
 could be moulded by environmental factors. In particular, we highlight the
 role of dermal armour as a potentially important mechanism to reduce
 evaporative water loss in arid environments.

title: Data from: Disruption of foraging by a dominant invasive species to decrease its competitive ability

description: Invasive species are a major threat to biodiversity when dominant within
 their newly established habitat. The globally distributed Argentine ant
 Linepithema humile has been reported to break the trade-off between
 interference and exploitative competition, achieve high population
 densities, and overpower nests of many endemic ant species. We have used
 the sensitivity of the Argentine ant to the synthetic trail pheromone
 (Z)-9-hexadecanal to investigate species interactions for the first time.
 We predicted that disrupting Argentine ant trail following behaviour would
 reduce their competitive ability and create an opportunity for three other
 resident species to increase their foraging success. Argentine ant success
 in the control was reduced with increasing pheromone concentration, as
 predicted, but interactions varied among competing resident species. These
 behavioural variations provide an explanation for observed differences in
 foraging success of the competing resident species and how much each of
 these individual competitors can increase their foraging if the
 competitive ability of the dominant invader is decreased. The mechanism
 for the observed increase in resource acquisition of resident species
 appears to be a decrease in aggressive behaviour displayed by the
 Argentine ant, which may create an opportunity for other resident species
 to forage more successfully. Our demonstration of species interactions
 with trail pheromone disruption is the first known case of reduced
 dominance under a pheromone treatment in ants.

title: Data from: Analysis of a panel of 48 cytokines in BAL fluids specifically identifies IL-8 levels as the only cytokine that distinguishes controlled asthma from uncontrolled asthma, and correlates inversely with FEV1

description: We sought to identify cells and cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL)
 fluids that distinguish asthma from healthy control subjects and those
 that distinguish controlled asthma from uncontrolled asthma. Following
 informed consent, 36 human subjects were recruited for this study. These
 included 11 healthy control subjects, 15 subjects with controlled asthma
 with FEV1≥80% predicted and 10 subjects with uncontrolled asthma with FEV1
 &lt;80% predicted. BAL fluid was obtained from all subjects. The
 numbers of different cell types and the levels of 48 cytokines were
 measured in these fluids. Compared to healthy control subjects, patients
 with asthma had significantly more percentages of eosinophils and
 neutrophils, IL-1RA, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2Rα, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, G-CSF,
 GROα (CXCL1), MIP-1β (CCL4), MIG (CXCL9), RANTES (CCL5) and TRAIL in their
 BAL fluids. The only inflammatory markers that distinguished controlled
 asthma from uncontrolled asthma were neutrophil percentage and IL-8
 levels, and both were inversely correlated with FEV1. We examined whether
 grouping asthma subjects on the basis of BAL eosinophil % or neutrophil %
 could identify specific cytokine profiles. The only differences between
 neutrophil-normal asthma (neutrophil≤2.4%) and neutrophil-high asthma
 (neutrophils%&gt;2.4%) were a higher BAL fluid IL-8 levels, and a
 lower FEV1 in the latter group. By contrast, compared to eosinophil-normal
 asthma (eosinophils≤0.3%), eosinophil-high asthma
 (eosinophils&gt;0.3%) had higher levels of IL-5, IL-13, IL-16, and
 PDGF-bb, but same neutrophil percentage, IL-8, and FEV1. Our results
 identify neutrophils and IL-8 are the only inflammatory components in BAL
 fluids that distinguish controlled asthma from uncontrolled asthma, and
 both correlate inversely with FEV1.

title: Data from: Changes in dominance status erode personality and behavioral syndromes

description: The interplay between consistent individual differences in behavior (i.e.,
 animal personality) and behavioral plasticity has recently attracted
 increased interest. We used male Australian field crickets (Teleogryllus
 oceanicus) to investigate how dominance status influences the consistency
 and plasticity of different personality traits, namely boldness,
 exploration, and activity, by experimentally manipulating dominance status
 between measuring sessions. We found that dominants that became
 subordinate when socially challenged, shifted their behavior, becoming
 less bold, explorative, and active, whereas subordinates that became
 dominant, became bolder, more explorative, and more active. Individuals
 that experienced no change in dominance status did not alter their
 behavior. Changes in dominance status reduced the repeatability of the
 putative personality traits of exploration and activity while not
 affecting the repeatability of boldness. Moreover, changes in dominance
 status affected the presence of correlations between some personality
 traits, but not others. Finally, calling behavior was related to current
 and future dominance and explorative tendencies. We discuss the broader
 evolutionary and ecological implications of our findings and propose that
 changes in social status should be considered when investigating
 behavioral syndromes and the interplay between animal personality and
 behavioral plasticity.

title: Data from: Chemical suppression of embryonic cane toads Rhinella marina by larval conspecifics

description: 1. Mechanisms that evolved to suppress the development of potential
 competitors may offer novel methods for species-specific control of
 invasive organisms. The tadpoles of cane toads Rhinella marina compete for
 limited food resources in small ponds, and older tadpoles eliminate
 competitors not only by eating newly-laid eggs, but also by releasing a
 chemical that suppresses development of conspecific eggs. 2. We conducted
 laboratory trials to assess the magnitude and generality of this
 suppression effect, and to identify the developmental stages capable of
 producing the suppressor cue and those that are vulnerable to its
 presence. 3. In all clutches that we tested, the suppressor cue reduced
 larval growth, development and survival (&gt;95% mortality vs.
 &lt;50% in controls). The suppressor exerts a general effect on larval
 development, rather than causing malformations of specific organ systems.
 4. Free-swimming tadpoles of all developmental stages produce the cue (but
 are not affected by it), whereas embryos do not produce the cue, but are
 vulnerable to it. Tadpoles produce the cue consistently rather than
 facultatively (e.g. in response to detecting eggs). 5. A preliminary trial
 shows that the cue is effective in natural spawning ponds as well as in
 the laboratory. 6. Synthesis and applications. Our data have strong
 implications for current methods of toad control (culling tadpoles will
 remove suppression effects on the next generation, so it may be better to
 maintain live toad tadpoles in secure containers rather than removing them
 from the pond). Longer-term, understanding the chemical basis of this
 powerful mechanism for intraspecific competition may facilitate invader
 control.

title: Data from: Combining RNA-seq and proteomic profiling to identify seminal fluid proteins in the migratory grasshopper Melanoplus sanguinipes (F)

description: Background: Seminal fluid proteins control many aspects of fertilization
 and in turn, they play a key role in post-mating sexual selection and
 possibly reproductive isolation. Because effective proteome profiling
 relies on the availability of high-quality DNA reference databases, our
 knowledge of these proteins is still largely limited to model organisms
 with ample genetic resources. New advances in sequencing technology allow
 for the rapid characterization of transcriptomes at low cost. By combining
 high throughput RNA-seq and shotgun proteomic profiling, we have
 characterized the seminal fluid proteins secreted by the primary male
 accessory gland of the migratory grasshopper (Melanoplus sanguinipes), one
 of the main agricultural pests in central North America. Results: Using
 RNA sequencing, we characterized the transcripts of ~ 8,100 genes
 expressed in the long hyaline tubules (LHT) of the accessory glands.
 Proteomic profiling identified 353 proteins expressed in the long hyaline
 tubules (LHT). Of special interest are seminal fluid proteins (SFPs), such
 as EJAC-SP, ACE and prostaglandin synthetases, which are known to regulate
 female oviposition in insects. Conclusions: Our study provides new
 insights into the proteomic components of male ejaculate in Orthopterans,
 and highlights several important patterns. First, the presence of proteins
 that lack predicted classical secretory tags in accessory gland proteomes
 is common in male accessory glands. Second, the products of a few highly
 expressed genes dominate the accessory gland secretions. Third, accessory
 gland transcriptomes are enriched for novel transcripts. Fourth, there is
 conservation of SFPs’ functional classes across distantly related
 taxonomic groups with very different life histories, mating systems and
 sperm transferring mechanisms. The identified SFPs may serve as targets of
 future efforts to develop species- specific genetic control strategies.

title: Data from: Parental age influences offspring telomere loss

description: The age of the parents at the time of offspring production can influence
 offspring longevity, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly
 understood. The effect of parental age on offspring telomere dynamics
 (length and loss rate) is one mechanism that could be important in this
 context. Parental age might influence the telomere length that offspring
 inherit or age-related differences in the quality of parental care could
 influence the rate of offspring telomere loss. However, these routes have
 generally not been disentangled. Here, we investigated whether parental
 age was related to offspring telomere dynamics using parents ranging in
 age from 2 to 22 years old in a free-living population of a long-lived
 seabird, the European shag (Phalacrocorax aristotelis). By measuring the
 telomere length of offspring at hatching and towards the end of the
 post-natal growth period, we could assess whether any potential parental
 age effect was confined to the post-natal rearing period. There was no
 effect of maternal or paternal age on the initial telomere length of their
 chicks. However, chicks produced by older mothers and fathers experienced
 significantly greater telomere loss during the post-natal nestling growth
 period. We had relatively few nests in which the ages of both parents were
 known, and individuals in this population mate assortatively with respect
 to age. Thus, we could not conclusively determine whether the parental age
 effect was due to maternal age, paternal age, or both; however, it appears
 that the effect is stronger in mothers. These results demonstrate that in
 this species, there was no evidence that parental age was related to
 offspring hatching telomere length. However, telomere loss during nestling
 growth was reduced in the offspring of older parents. This could be due to
 an age-related deterioration in the quality of the environment that
 parents provide, or because parents that invest less in offspring rearing
 live to an older age.
