title: Data from: Avian pest control in vineyards is driven by interactions between bird functional diversity and landscape heterogeneity

description: Insectivorous birds are increasingly recognized for the crucial pest
 control services they provide to agroecosystems. While both the foraging
 activity and functional diversity of birds are enhanced by multiscale
 habitat heterogeneity, little is known about how these relationships may
 influence avian top-down control of insects. Specifically, interactive
 effects of bird community structure and habitat heterogeneity on pest
 control across spatial scales have rarely been explored. We sampled bird
 communities and measured avian predation on plasticine model prey, as a
 proxy for lepidopteran pest control, in 20 vineyards of south-western
 France. Vineyards differed both in sward heterogeneity at the local scale
 and amount of surrounding semi-natural habitats at the landscape scale.
 Functional diversity metrics and community-weighted mean traits were
 computed for bird communities based on a species–trait table including
 diet, foraging method, nesting site, migration strategy, laying date, home
 range size, clutch size and body mass. We used mixed models to test for
 the interacting effects of habitat heterogeneity and bird functional
 diversity on avian predation rates of plasticine prey. Contrary to
 expectations, bird functional diversity decreased with landscape-scale
 heterogeneity, but was higher in vineyards managed with heterogeneous
 sward structures. In contrast, foliage-gleaning insectivores were more
 abundant in landscapes supporting more semi-natural habitats, suggesting
 an increase in their contribution to pest control along the landscape
 heterogeneity gradient. Accordingly, we found that avian predation on
 plasticine prey increased with bird functional evenness both in more
 heterogeneous vineyards at the local scale and in landscape mosaics
 supporting more semi-natural habitats. Synthesis and applications. Our
 study demonstrates that habitat heterogeneity at both local and landscape
 scales influenced avian insectivory in vineyard agroecosystems by
 interacting with bird community structure. It provides important insights
 for ecological intensification in vineyards, pointing out that management
 options need to be adapted to both the functional composition of local
 bird communities and landscape context. We suggest that both on-field and
 off-field management can be used to enhance natural pest control services
 provided by birds in vineyards, especially by favouring sward
 heterogeneity and patches of semi-natural habitats within large vineyard
 stands at the landscape scale.

title: Data from: Plastic responses to parents and predators lead to divergent social behaviour in sticklebacks

description: Population divergence in antipredator defense and behaviour occurs rapidly
 and repeatedly. Genetic differences, phenotypic plasticity, or parental
 effects may all contribute to divergence, but the relative importance of
 each of these mechanisms remains unknown. We exposed juveniles to parents
 and predators to measure how induced changes contribute to shoaling
 behaviour differences between two threespine stickleback species (benthics
 and limnetics: Gasterosteus spp). We found that limnetics increased
 shoaling in response to predator attacks while benthics did not alter
 their behaviour. Care by limnetic fathers led to increased shoaling in
 both limnetic and benthic offspring. Shoaling helps limnetics avoid trout
 and avian predation; our results suggest this adaptive behaviour is the
 result of a combination of paternal effects, predator-induced plasticity,
 and genetic differences between species. These results suggest that
 plasticity substantially contributes to the rapid divergence in shoaling
 behaviour across the post-Pleistocene radiation of sticklebacks.

title: Data from: Allocation of nitrogen and phosphorus within and between the needles, stems, and roots of Picea seedlings

description: The allocation of nutrients links ecosystem supply services to the
 functional traits and development of plants. This is particularly true for
 nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), which are important limiting resources in
 natural systems and are related to many aspects of plant biology. We
 investigated the scaling relationships associated with the N and P
 contents within specific organ types (needles, stems, and roots) and the
 same nutrients in the different organs of Picea seedlings from nine taxa
 grown under greenhouse conditions. Our results showed that the N and P
 contents were highly correlated within and between plant organs. A common
 isometric scaling relationship (scaling exponent ≈ 1) between N and P was
 observed in spruce needles, stems, and roots. The N and P contents had
 different scaling exponents in different plant organs. The scaling
 relationships of the N content across different organ types tended to be
 allometric (scaling exponent &lt; 1) between stems and non-stem
 organs, and isometric between needles and roots. For P contents, similar
 scaling relationships were also found in the three organs. These results
 may further advance our understanding of plant nutrient allocation
 strategies within and between major organs.

title: Data from: 'Prudent habitat choice': a novel mechanism of size-assortative mating

description: Assortative mating, an ubiquitous form of nonrandom mating, strongly
 impacts Darwinian fitness and can drive biological diversification.
 Despite its ecological and evolutionary importance, the behavioural
 processes underlying assortative mating are often unknown, and in
 particular, mechanisms not involving mate choice have been largely ignored
 so far. Here, we propose that assortative mating can arise from ‘prudent
 habitat choice’, a general mechanism that acts under natural selection,
 and that it can occur despite a complete mixing of phenotypes. We show
 that in the cichlid Eretmodus cyanostictus size-assortative mating ensues,
 because individuals of weaker competitive ability ignore high-quality but
 strongly competed habitat patches. Previous studies showed that in E.
 cyanostictus, size-based mate preferences are absent. By field and
 laboratory experiments, here we showed that (i) habitat quality and body
 size are correlated in this species; (ii) territories with more stone
 cover are preferred by both sexes in the absence of competition; and (iii)
 smaller fish prudently occupy vacant territories of worse quality than do
 larger fish. Prudent habitat choice is likely to be a widespread mechanism
 of assortative mating, as both preferences for and dominance-based access
 to high-quality habitats are generic phenomena in animals.

title: Data from: Melanization of mycorrhizal fungal necromass structures microbial decomposer communities

description: Mycorrhizal fungal necromass is increasingly recognized as an important
 contributor to soil organic carbon pools, particularly in forest
 ecosystems. While its decomposition rate is primarily determined by
 biochemical composition, how traits such as melanin content affect the
 structure of necromass decomposer communities remains poorly understood.
 To assess the role of biochemical traits on microbial decomposer community
 composition and functioning, we incubated melanized and non-melanized
 necromass of the mycorrhizal fungus Meliniomyces bicolor in Pinus- and
 Quercus-dominated forests in Minnesota, USA and then assessed the
 associated fungal and bacterial decomposer communities after 1, 2 and 3
 months using high-throughput sequencing. Melanized necromass decomposed
 significantly slower than non-melanized necromass in both forests. The
 structure of the microbial decomposer communities depended significantly
 on necromass melanin content, although the effect was stronger for fungi
 than bacteria. On non-melanized necromass, fungal communities were
 dominated by r-selected ascomycete and mucoromycete microfungi early and
 then replaced by basidiomycete ectomycorrhizal fungi, while on melanized
 necromass these groups were co-dominant throughout the incubation.
 Bacterial communities were dominated by both specialist mycophageous and
 generalist taxa. Synthesis. Our results indicate that necromass
 biochemistry not only strongly affects rates of decomposition but also the
 structure of the associated decomposer communities. Furthermore, the
 observed colonization patterns suggest that fungi, and particularly
 ectomycorrhizal fungi, may play a more important role in necromass
 decomposition than previously recognized.

title: Data from: Campylobacter jejuni infection associated with relatively poor condition and low survival in a wild bird

description: Campylobacter jejuni is the most common foodborne pathogen in
 industrialized countries. Most human infections come from contaminated
 poultry, but wild birds are also known to harbor C. jejuni. Wild birds are
 often described as asymptomatic carriers, but this assumption is based on
 domestic poultry research. We studied the effects of C. jejuni infection
 on body condition and survival of adult and nestling American crows Corvus
 brachyrhynchos in Davis, California. Previous work demonstrated that more
 than half of the crows in this population are infected with C. jejuni and
 that at least some of the isolates carried by crows are similar to those
 found in domestic animals and humans. In this study, we compared the body
 condition of infected and uninfected individuals at the time of capture
 among adults (n = 44; 52% infected) and nestlings (n = 97; 77% infected).
 We subsequently monitored these banded individuals for up to 3 yr and used
 mark–recapture survival analysis to estimate relationships between
 infection status and later survival. We found that adult crows infected
 with C. jejuni were in poor condition relative to uninfected adults:
 average body mass of infected birds was 12% lower, whereas average body
 size did not differ between the two groups. Likewise, apparent survival
 probability was lower for infected adults. In contrast, nestling body
 condition, fledging success, and survival did not differ by infection
 status. This is the first study to document adverse effects of C. jejuni
 infection in a free-living, wild bird. If these effects are widespread, C.
 jejuni exposure may be a cause of conservation concern for some species,
 especially when human activities increase exposure to infections or
 introduce novel strains to wild bird populations. Our results add to the
 growing body of work demonstrating hidden long-term costs of seemingly
 mild infections in wild populations.

title: Data from: Mountaintop removal mining alters stream salamander population dynamics

description: Aim: Population dynamics are often tightly linked to the condition of the
 landscape. Focusing on a landscape impacted by mountaintop removal coal
 mining (MTR), we ask the following questions: (1) How does MTR influence
 vital rates including occupancy, colonization and persistence
 probabilities, and conditional abundance of stream salamander species and
 life stages? (2) Do species and life stages respond similar to MTR mining
 or is there significant variation among species and life stages? Location:
 Freshwater and terrestrial habitats in Central Appalachia (South‐eastern
 Kentucky, USA). Methods: We conducted salamander counts for three
 consecutive years in 23 headwater stream reaches in forested or previously
 mined landscapes. We used a hierarchical, N‐mixture model with dynamic
 occupancy to calculate species‐ and life stage‐specific occupancy,
 colonization and persistence rates, and abundance given occupancy. We
 examined the coefficients of the hierarchical priors to determine
 population variation among species and life stages. Results: Over 3 years,
 reference sites had greater salamander abundances and were occupied at a
 much higher rate than streams impacted by MTR. At sites impacted by MTR
 mining, most salamander species and life stages exhibited reduced initial
 occupancy, colonization rates, persistence rates and conditional abundance
 relative to reference stream reaches. Furthermore, the rates in MTR sites
 showed low variance, reinforcing that species and life stages were
 responding similar to MTR. Main conclusions: Salamander populations in
 landscapes modified by MTR mining exhibited significantly reduced vital
 rates compared to reference sites. Yet, similarity in responses across
 species suggests that management or restoration may benefit the entire
 salamander assemblage. For example, reforestation could reduce landscape
 resistance, repair altered hydrologic regimes and allow for higher rates
 of colonization and persistence in streams impacted by MTR.

title: Data from: The evolution of colour pattern complexity: selection for conspicuousness favours contrasting within-body colour combinations in lizards

description: Many animals display complex colour patterns that comprise several
 adjacent, often contrasting colour patches. Combining patches of
 complementary colours increases the overall conspicuousness of the complex
 pattern, enhancing signal detection. Therefore, selection for
 conspicuousness may act not only on the design of single colour patches,
 but also on their combination. Contrasting long- and short-wavelength
 colour patches are located on the ventral and lateral surfaces of many
 lacertid lizards. As the combination of long- and short-wavelength-based
 colours generates local chromatic contrast, we hypothesized that selection
 may favour the co-occurrence of lateral and ventral contrasting patches,
 resulting in complex colour patterns that maximize the overall
 conspicuousness of the signal. To test this hypothesis, we performed a
 comparative phylogenetic study using a categorical colour classification
 based on spectral data and descriptive information on lacertid coloration
 collected from the literature. Our results demonstrate that conspicuous
 ventral (long-wavelength-based) and lateral (short-wavelength-based)
 colour patches co-occur throughout the lacertid phylogeny more often than
 expected by chance, especially in the subfamily Lacertini. These results
 suggest that selection promotes the evolution of the complex pattern
 rather than the acquisition of a single conspicuous colour patch, possibly
 due to the increased conspicuousness caused by the combination of colours
 with contrasting spectral properties.

title: Data from: Targeting antibiotic resistant bacteria with phages reduces bacterial density in an insect host

description: Phage therapy is attracting growing interest among clinicians as
 antibiotic resistance continues becoming harder to control. However,
 clinical trials and animal model studies on bacteriophage treatment are
 still scarce and results on the efficacy vary. Recent research suggests
 that using traditional antimicrobials in concert with phage could have
 desirable synergistic effects that hinder the evolution of resistance.
 Here, we present a novel insect gut model to study phage-antibiotic
 interaction in a system where antibiotic resistance initially exists in
 very low frequency and phage specifically targets the resistance bearing
 cells. We demonstrate that while phage therapy could not reduce the
 frequency of target bacteria in the population during positive selection
 by antibiotics, it alleviated the antibiotic induced blooming by lowering
 the overall load of resistant cells. The highly structured gut environment
 had pharmacokinetic effects on both phage and antibiotic dynamics compared
 to in vitro: antibiotics did not reduce the overall amount of bacteria,
 demonstrating a simple turnover of gut flora from non-resistant to
 resistant population with little cost. The results imply moderate
 potential for using phage as an aid to target antibiotic resistant gut
 infections, and question the usefulness of in vitro inferences.

title: Data from: A deteriorating state of affairs: how endogenous and exogenous factors determine plant decay rates

description: Woody plants store large quantities of carbon (C) and nutrients. As plants
 senesce and decay, these stores transfer to the soil or other organisms or
 are released to the atmosphere. Exogenous factors such as topographic
 position and microclimatic and edaphic conditions tied to locations affect
 decay rates; however, we know less about how exogenous relative to
 endogenous factors such as morphological, anatomical and chemical
 construction tied to plant species affect these rates, especially across
 different tissue types. We monitored stem, fine branch and leaf decay over
 1 year in ‘rot plots’ distributed across four watersheds in ridge top and
 valley bottom habitats in a temperate deciduous oak-hickory forest at
 Tyson Research Center, MO, USA, in the Ozark Highlands for 21 species of
 woody plants that vary in their constructions. We found poor coordination
 across tissues in construction and decay, which likely reflects how
 functional constraints on living tissues influence recalcitrance to decay.
 Additionally, for all three tissues, species membership and construction
 were better predictors of decay than was location. Of the construction
 traits, chemical composition including total fibre, lignin, cellulose,
 hemicellulose and concentrations of multiple microelements were the best
 predictors of decay, although the strength of these relationships differed
 among tissues. Synthesis. We have long known that rates of biogeochemical
 cycling are influenced by exogenous factors, such as climatic and edaphic
 factors. Here, we show across plant tissues that endogenous factors,
 including species identity and tissue construction, can have stronger
 controls on rates of decay within our study system than do exogenous
 factors. However, it is likely that the relative strengths of these
 different controls change through time and among tissues. We predict that
 anatomical and morphological controls may be more important at early
 stages and exogenous factors may be more important at later stages of
 decay.
