title: Data from: Establishment and maintenance of aphid endosymbionts after horizontal transfer is dependent on host genotype

description: Animal-associated microbial communities have important effects on host
 phenotypes. Individuals within and among species differ in the strains and
 species of microbes that they harbour, but how natural selection shapes
 the distribution and abundance of symbionts in natural populations is not
 well understood. Symbionts can be beneficial in certain environments but
 also impose costs on their hosts. Consequently, individuals that can or
 cannot associate with symbionts will be favoured under different
 ecological circumstances. As a result, we predict that individuals within
 a species vary in terms of how well they accept and maintain symbionts. In
 pea aphids, the frequency of endosymbionts varies among
 host-plant-associated populations (‘biotypes’). We show that aphid
 genotypes from different biotypes vary in how well they accept and
 maintain symbionts after horizontal transfer. We find that aphids from
 biotypes that frequently harbour symbionts are better able to associate
 with novel symbionts than those from biotypes that less frequently harbour
 symbionts. Intraspecific variation in the ability of hosts to interact
 with symbionts is an understudied factor explaining patterns of
 host–symbiont association.
description: Injection_ExperimentThe data file (in .csv format) contains 6 columns. The first column indicates which needle was used to inject symbionts (included as a random effect in the model). The second column indicates the genotype of the injected aphid (also included as a random effect). The third column shows which symbiont species (Regiella or Serratia) was injected into each aphid, and the fourth column gives the biotype of each aphid. The 5th column is the binary response variable that indicates whether an injected aphid's 10th offspring had a positive symbiont infection (as determined by PCR amplification). The 6th column is also a binary response variable indicating PCR amplification of the 10th offspring of a subset of aphids 3 generations after injection.

title: Data from: Export of ice nucleating particles from a watershed

description: Ice nucleating particles (INP) active at a few degrees below 0°C are
 produced by a range of organisms and released into the environment. They
 may affect cloud properties and precipitation when becoming airborne. So
 far, our knowledge about sources of biological INP is based on grab
 samples of vegetation, soil or water studied in the laboratory. By
 combining measurements of INP concentrations in river water with river
 water discharge rates over the course of 16 months, we obtained a lower
 limit for the production rate of INP in a watershed covering most of
 Switzerland (4 × 105 INP−8 m−2 d−1). Coincidentally, we found that INP−8
 are likely to retain their potential for catalysing ice formation in the
 natural environment for at least several months before they are mobilized
 by an intensive rainfall, washed into the river and exported from the
 watershed.

title: Data from: Negative frequency-dependent selection is intensified at higher population densities in protist populations

description: Natural populations of free-living protists often exhibit high-levels of
 intraspecific diversity, yet this is puzzling as classic evolutionary
 theory predicts dominance by genotypes with high fitness, particularly in
 large populations where selection is efficient. Here, we test whether
 negative frequency-dependent selection (NFDS) plays a role in the
 maintenance of diversity in the marine flagellate Oxyrrhis marina using
 competition experiments between multiple pairs of strains. We observed
 strain-specific responses to frequency and density, but an overall
 signature of NFDS that was intensified at higher population densities.
 Because our strains were not selected a priori on the basis of particular
 traits expected to exhibit NFDS, these data represent a relatively
 unbiased estimate of the role for NFDS in maintaining diversity in protist
 populations. These findings could help to explain how bloom-forming
 plankton, which periodically achieve exceptionally high population
 densities, maintain substantial intraspecific diversity.

title: Data from: Experimental effects of early-life corticosterone on the HPA axis and pre-migratory behaviour in a wild songbird

description: 1.Although laboratory studies have shown that chronic exposure to elevated
 glucocorticoids during development can have profound effects on the
 physiology and behaviour of animals, we still have a poor understanding of
 the proximate and ultimate consequences of early-life stress on
 individuals in the wild. 2. In an island population of Savannah sparrows
 (Passerculus sandwichensis), we examined multiple hypotheses to explain
 how elevated glucocorticoid exposure during the nestling period influenced
 both hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function during the
 nestling period and the subsequent movement and survival of young after
 they fledged the nest. 3. We exposed nestlings to exogenous corticosterone
 from 2-6 d of age and then measured both baseline and stress-induced (30
 min restraint) plasma corticosterone levels prior to fledging (d 7). We
 then recaptured young throughout the pre-migratory period and used
 mark-recapture analysis to estimate temporary emigration from the capture
 site (movement) and survival. 4. Corticosterone-treated nestlings had
 higher baseline corticosterone levels and lower stress reactivity than
 untreated individuals, and were more sensitive to inclement weather.
 Although there was no evidence that corticosterone treatments influenced
 survival, treated individuals had higher rates of temporary emigration
 outside of the study site than sham or controls. 5. Our results provide
 support for the ceiling hypothesis, which suggests that individuals with
 chronic elevated glucocorticoids can lead to a dampened HPA axis response.
 We also provide support for the CORT-activity hypothesis, which suggests
 that elevated glucocorticoids can increase activity levels, at least 1-2
 months after leaving the nest. Our study highlights the importance of
 tracking individuals across multiple stages of the annual cycle to
 understand how early life events carry-over to influence both physiology
 and behaviour.

title: Data from: Unravelling the role of allochthonous aquatic resources to food web structure in a tropical riparian forest

description: 1. The role of matter and energy flow across ecosystem boundaries for
 subsidized consumer populations is well known. However, little is known on
 the effects of allochthonous subsidies on food web structure and trophic
 niche dimensions of consumers in the tropics. 2. We excluded allochthonous
 aquatic insects from tropical streams using greenhouse-type exclosures to
 test the influence of aquatic allochthonous subsidies on the trophic
 structure and niche dimensions of terrestrial predators using stable
 isotope methods. 3. In exclosure treatments, abundance and biomass of
 terrestrial predators, and biomass of phytophages, decreased and
 increased, respectively. Vegetation-living predators were more responsive
 to allochthonous inputs than those living on the ground. Overall, lower
 availability of allochthonous inputs did not affect community-wide metrics
 and niche width of predators. However, the niche width of some spider
 families had very low overlap between treatments, and others had wider
 isotopic niches in the control than exclusion treatment. Most of the C and
 N in predators living in control stretches came from aquatic subsidies,
 and those predators living in exclusion treatments switched their diets to
 terrestrial sources, showing a preference of predators for allochthonous
 subsidies. 4. Our results suggest that allochthonous subsidies are also
 relevant to tropical fauna living upon vegetation. Moreover, allochthonous
 resources may amplify the niche dimension of certain predators, or
 considerably change the trophic niche of others. Our study highlights the
 importance of including modern isotopic tools in elucidating the role of
 allochthonous resources on the patterns of trophic structure and niche
 dimensions of consumers from donor ecosystems.

title: Data from: Non-random dispersal mediates invader impacts on the invertebrate community

description: (1) Dispersers are often not a random draw from a population, dispersal
 propensity being conditional on individual phenotypic traits and local
 conditions. This non-randomness consequently results in phenotypic
 differences between dispersers and non-dispersers and, in the context of
 biological invasions, in an invasion front made of individuals with a
 biased phenotype. This bias of phenotypes at the front may subsequently
 modulate the strength of ecological effects of an invasive species on
 invaded communities. (2) We recently demonstrated that more asocial
 mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis), one of the 100 worst invasive species,
 disperse further, suggesting a sociability-biased invasion front. As
 behavioural types are related to the strength of interspecific
 interactions, an invasion by a biased subset of individuals should have
 important ecological implications for native communities. (3) Here, we
 tested the impact of phenotypic biases in dispersing individuals (relative
 to non-dispersers) on prey communities in experimental mesocosms. (4) We
 show that dispersers reduce prey abundance more than do non-dispersers
 during the first 4 weeks after introduction, and that the disperser's
 social types are likely drivers of these differences. These differences in
 prey communities disappeared after 8 weeks suggesting prey community
 resilience against predation in these mesocosm ecosystems. (5)
 Consequently, we call for the integration of non-random dispersal,
 dispersal syndromes and more generally intraspecific variation into
 studies predicting the impacts of invasions.

title: Data from: Weed control with Bicyclopyrone + Bromoxynil in wheat

description: Chemical weed control options in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cropping
 systems of the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are currently limited due to the
 presence of resistant weed biotypes. The efficacy of a new post-emergence
 herbicide in wheat, bicyclopyrone + bromoxynil (Talinor®), was evaluated
 for mayweed chamomile (Anthemis cotula L.) and prickly lettuce (Lactuca
 serriola L.) control in eastern Washington and Oregon in 2016 and 2017.
 Bicyclopyrone + bromoxynil provided superior control of mayweed chamomile
 in winter wheat compared to pyrasulfotole + bromoxynil (Huskie®). Mayweed
 chamomile control was similar across all three rates of bicyclopyrone +
 bromoxynil used in the study. Pyrasulfotole + bromoxynil provided greater
 control of prickly lettuce in spring wheat than bicyclopyrone + bromoxynil
 except when bicyclopyrone + bromoxynil was applied at the highest rate.
 Bicyclopyrone + bromoxynil will provide winter wheat growers with an
 effective option for controlling mayweed chamomile, and at higher use
 rates, with an alternative option for prickly lettuce control in spring
 wheat.

title: Data from: A phylogenetic analysis of macroevolutionary patterns in fermentative yeasts

description: When novel sources of ecological opportunity are available, physiological
 innovations can trigger adaptive radiations. This could be the case of
 yeasts (Saccharomycotina), in which an evolutionary novelty is represented
 by the capacity to exploit simple sugars from fruits (fermentation).
 During adaptive radiations, diversification and morphological evolution
 are predicted to slow-down after early bursts of diversification. Here, we
 performed the first comparative phylogenetic analysis in yeasts, testing
 the “early burst” prediction on species diversification and also on traits
 of putative ecological relevance (cell-size and fermentation versatility).
 We found that speciation rates are constant during the time-range we
 considered (ca., 150 millions of years). Phylogenetic signal of both
 traits was significant (but lower for cell-size), suggesting that lineages
 resemble each other in trait-values. Disparity analysis suggested
 accelerated evolution (diversification in trait values above Brownian
 Motion expectations) in cell-size. We also found a significant
 phylogenetic regression between cell-size and fermentation versatility (R2
 = 0.10), which suggests correlated evolution between both traits. Overall,
 our results do not support the early burst prediction both in species and
 traits, but suggest a number of interesting evolutionary patterns, that
 warrant further exploration. For instance, we show that the Whole Genomic
 Duplication that affected a whole clade of yeasts, does not seems to have
 a statistically detectable phenotypic effect at our level of analysis. In
 this regard, further studies of fermentation under common-garden
 conditions combined with comparative analyses are warranted.

title: Data from: Early to rise, early to breed: a role for daily rhythms in seasonal reproduction

description: Vertebrates use environmental cues to time reproduction to optimal
 breeding conditions. Numerous laboratory studies have revealed that light
 experienced during a critical window of the circadian (daily) rhythm can
 influence reproductive physiology. However, whether these relationships
 observed in captivity hold true under natural conditions and how they
 relate to observed variation in timing of reproductive output remains
 largely unexplored. Here we test the hypothesis that individual variation
 in daily timing recorded in nature (i.e. chronotype) is linked with
 variation in timing of breeding. To address this hypothesis and its
 generality across species, we recorded incubation behavior data to
 identify individual patterns in daily onset of activity for 2
 temperate-breeding songbird species, the dark-eyed junco (Junco hyemalis
 aikeni) and the great tit (Parus major). We found that females who first
 departed from their nest earlier in the morning (earlier chronotype) also
 initiated nests earlier in the year. Date of data collection and ambient
 temperature had no effect, but stage of incubation influenced daily onset
 of activity in great tits. Our findings suggest a role for daily rhythms
 as one mechanism underlying the observed variation in seasonal timing of
 breeding.

title: Data from: Host association influences variation at salivary protein genes in the bat ectoparasite Cimex adjunctus

description: Parasite-host relationships create strong selection pressures that can
 lead to adaptation and increasing specialization of parasites to their
 hosts. Even in relatively loose host-parasite relationships, such as
 between generalist ectoparasites and their hosts, we may observe some
 degree of specialization of parasite populations to one of the multiple
 potential hosts. Salivary proteins are used by blood-feeding ectoparasites
 to prevent hemostasis in the host and maximize energy intake. We
 investigated the influence of association with specific host species on
 allele frequencies of salivary protein genes in Cimex adjunctus, a
 generalist blood-feeding ectoparasite of bats in North America. We
 analysed two salivary protein genes: an apyrase, which hydrolyses ATP at
 the feeding site and thus inhibits platelet aggregation, and a
 nitrophorin, which brings nitrous oxide to the feeding site, inhibiting
 platelet aggregation and vasoconstriction. We observed more variation at
 both salivary protein genes among parasite populations associated with
 different host species than among populations from different spatial
 locations associated with the same host species. The variation in salivary
 protein genes among populations on different host species was also greater
 than expected under a neutral scenario of genetic drift and gene flow.
 Finally, host species was an important predictor of allelic divergence in
 genotypes of individual C. adjunctus at both salivary protein genes. Our
 results suggest differing selection pressures on these two salivary
 protein genes in C. adjunctus depending on the host species.
