title: Data from: Repeated fires reduce plant diversity in low-elevation Wyoming big sagebrush ecosystems (1984-2014)

description: Sagebrush is one of the most imperiled ecosystems in Western North
 America, having lost about half of its original 62 million hectare extent.
 Annual grass invasions are known to be increasing wildfire occurrence and
 burned area, but the lasting effects (&gt; five years post-fire) that
 the resulting reburns have on these plant communities are unclear. We
 created a fire history atlas from 31 years (1984 to 2014) of
 Landsat-derived fire data to sample along a fire frequency gradient (zero
 to three fires) in an area of northern Nevada that has experienced
 frequent fire in this time period. 32% of our study area (13,000 km$^2$)
 burned in large fires (over 404 ha) at least once, 7% burned twice, and 2%
 burned three or more times. We collected plant abundance data at 28 plots
 (N=7 per fire frequency), with an average time-since-fire of 17 years. We
 examined fire’s effect on plant diversity using species accumulation
 curves, alpha-diversity (Shannon's dominance, Pielou's evenness
 and number of species), and beta diversity (Whittaker, Simpson, and Z
 indexes). For composition, we used non-metric multidimensional scaling. We
 then used PERMANOVA models to examine how disturbance history,
 temperature, precipitation and aridity around the time of the fire
 affected subsequent community composition and diversity. One fire
 fundamentally changed community composition and reduced species richness,
 and each subsequent fire reduced richness further. Alpha diversity
 decreased after one fire. Beta diversity declined after the third fire.
 Cover of exotics was 10% higher in all burned plots, and native cover was
 20% lower than in unburned plots, regardless of frequency. PERMANOVA
 models showed fire frequency and antecedent precipitation as the strongest
 predictors of beta diversity, while time since fire and vapor pressure
 deficit for the year of the fire were the strongest predictors of
 community composition. Given that a single fire has such a marked effect
 on species composition, and repeated fires reduce richness and beta
 diversity, we suggest that in lower elevation big sagebrush systems fire
 should be minimized as much as possible, perhaps even prescribed fire.
 Restoration efforts should be focused on timing with wet years on cooler,
 wetter sites.

title: Data from: Mitotic recombination and rapid genome evolution in the invasive forest pathogen Phytophthora ramorumm

description: Invasive alien species often have reduced genetic diversity and must adapt
 to new environments. Given the success of many invasions, this is
 sometimes called the genetic paradox of invasion. Phytophthora ramorum is
 invasive, limited to asexual reproduction within four lineages, and
 presumed clonal. NA1 is responsible for sudden oak death in the USA, NA1,
 NA2 and EU1 are responsible for ramorum blight in the USA and Canada and
 EU1 and EU2 are responsible for sudden larch death and blight in Europe.
 We sequenced 107 genomes to determine how this pathogen can overcome the
 invasion paradox. Mitotic recombination (MR) associated with transposons
 and low gene density has generated runs of homozygosity (ROH) affecting
 2698 genes, resulting in novel genotypic diversity within the lineages.
 One ROH enriched in putative pathogenicity genes was fixed in NA1. An
 independent ROH affected the same scaffold in EU1 suggesting an MR hotspot
 and selection target. EU1 individuals with and without the ROH may differ
 in aggressiveness. Non-core regions (not shared by all lineages) had
 signatures of accelerated evolution and were enriched in putative
 pathogenicity genes and transposons. There was a striking pattern of gene
 loss, including all effectors, in the non-core EU2 genome. Positive
 selection was observed in 8.0% of RxLR and 18.8% of Crinkler effector
 genes compared with 0.9% of the core eukaryotic gene set. We conclude that
 the P. ramorum lineages are diverging via a rapidly evolving non-core
 genome and the invasive asexual lineages are not clonal, but display
 genotypic diversity caused by MR.

title: Data from: Human activities influence the occupancy probability of mammalian carnivores in the Brazilian Caatinga

description: The Caatinga is a semi-arid domain, characterized by reduced humidity and
 high rates of anthropogenic impact. In addition to the low availability of
 water, carnivorous mammals are still exposed to a number of threats
 related to landscape modifications. We used data from camera traps and
 occupancy models to investigate the habitat use by carnivores in an area
 of Caatinga in northeastern Brazil. We found a negative correlation
 between the presence of wind farms and the occupancy probability of the
 jaguar, and a positive relationship with the presence of the jaguarundi.
 Puma and jaguarundi occupied primarily sites near watercourses, whereas
 the occupancy of the crab-eating fox was correlated positively with the
 presence of poachers. The ocelot was detected more frequently at sites
 distant from human settlements, whereas the jaguar was detected more often
 in areas far from wind farms. We found a negative correlation between the
 distance of water and the detection of the ocelot. The detection of the
 crab-eating fox was influenced positively by the detection of cattle. In
 addition to the negative influence of some anthropic activities, our
 results indicate that water is a very important resource for species, and
 the few permanent sources of this resource available in the area must be
 preserved. The replication of our research in other systems, worldwide,
 that are experiencing similar pressures, should permit a systematic
 evaluation of the management and conservation strategies needed to rebuild
 or maintain populations, restore ecosystems, and support conservation
 policies in human-altered landscapes.

title: Data from: How do climate change experiments alter plot-scale climate?

description: To understand and forecast biological responses to climate change,
 scientists frequently use field experiments that alter temperature and
 precipitation. Climate manipulations can manifest in complex ways,
 however, challenging interpretations of biological responses. We reviewed
 publications to compile a database of daily plot‐scale climate data from
 15 active‐warming experiments. We find that the common practices of
 analysing treatments as mean or categorical changes (e.g. warmed vs.
 unwarmed) masks important variation in treatment effects over space and
 time. Our synthesis showed that measured mean warming, in plots with the
 same target warming within a study, differed by up to 1.6
 urn:x-wiley:1461023X:media:ele13223:ele13223-math-0001C (63% of target),
 on average, across six studies with blocked designs. Variation was high
 across sites and designs: for example, plots differed by 1.1
 urn:x-wiley:1461023X:media:ele13223:ele13223-math-0002C (47% of target) on
 average, for infrared studies with feedback control (n = 3) vs. by 2.2
 urn:x-wiley:1461023X:media:ele13223:ele13223-math-0003C (80% of target) on
 average for infrared with constant wattage designs (n = 2). Warming
 treatments produce non‐temperature effects as well, such as soil drying.
 The combination of these direct and indirect effects is complex and can
 have important biological consequences. With a case study of plant
 phenology across five experiments in our database, we show how accounting
 for drier soils with warming tripled the estimated sensitivity of budburst
 to temperature. We provide recommendations for future analyses,
 experimental design, and data sharing to improve our mechanistic
 understanding from climate change experiments, and thus their utility to
 accurately forecast species’ responses.

title: Dataset for Representations of Economic Inequality and the Redistributive Features of the British Welfare State in Mainstream Party Programming between 2005–2024.

description: Despite significant economic inequality, demands for redistribution in the UK remain limited, challenging models that assume a self-maintaining relationship between inequality and public demand. This paper critically examines how political communications shape public perceptions of economic inequality and redistribution. Analysing British mainstream party manifestos from 2005 to 2024, we employ an exploratory mixed-methods design combining quantitative keyword frequency analysis with qualitative thematic analysis derived in a dynamic epistemology. Our findings reveal that political discourse often reifies economic inequality as 'equality of opportunity' and contextualizes it through individual life-course narratives. Moreover, political parties—particularly on the left—have politicized economic inequality to build group identities and raise concern without promoting trust in solutions. These findings suggest that public perceptions and demands are shaped by politicization processes, emphasizing the dynamic role of political communication in shaping public opinion.

title: Data from: Habitat edge responses of generalist predators are predicted by prey and structural resources

description: Generalist predators are thought to be less vulnerable to habitat
 fragmentation because they use diverse resources across larger spatial
 scales than specialist predators. Thus, it has been suggested that
 generalist predators may respond positively to habitat edges or
 demonstrate no edge response since they can potentially use prey resources
 equally well on both sides of the habitat edge. However, most predictions
 about generalist predator responses to the habitat edge are based solely
 on prey resources, without consideration of other potential drivers. For
 instance, structural resources are essential for some species to build
 webs to capture prey or to avoid intraguild predation and cannibalism. In
 this study, we used both prey and structural resources to predict the
 response of four predator functional groups (hunting spiders, web-building
 spiders, aerial predators, and epigeic predators that feed on the
 detrital/algal food web) to a habitat edge between two salt marsh grasses
 (Spartina alterniflora and S. patens). We found that generalist predators
 largely demonstrated negative responses to the habitat edge and had
 distinct habitat associations. Positive edge responses were only observed
 in one functional group (hunting spiders) and this pattern was driven by
 the two most abundant species. Negative responses to the habitat edge were
 more common among taxa and were better explained by structural resources
 rather than prey resources in the two habitats. Although it is generally
 acknowledged that specialists decline in fragmented habitats, generalists
 are thought to be more resilient. However, our research demonstrates that
 even generalists have habitat structural or food resource requirements
 that may limit their resilience to habitat loss and fragmentation.

title: Data from: Ontogenetic reduction in thermal tolerance is not alleviated by earlier developmental acclimation in Rana temporaria

description: Complex life-histories may promote the evolution of different strategies
 to allow optimal matching to the environmental conditions that organisms
 can encounter in contrasting environments. For ectothermic animals, we
 need to disentangle the role of stage-specific thermal tolerances and
 developmental acclimation to predict the effects of climate change on
 spatial distributions. However, the interplay between these mechanisms has
 been poorly explored. Here we study whether developmental larval
 acclimation to rearing temperatures affects the thermal tolerance of
 subsequent terrestrial stages (metamorphs and juveniles) in common frogs
 (Rana temporaria). Our results show that larval acclimation to warm
 temperatures enhances larval heat tolerance, but not thermal tolerance in
 later metamorphic and juvenile stages, which does not support the
 developmental acclimation hypothesis. Further, metamorphic and juvenile
 individuals exhibit a decline in thermal tolerance, which would confer
 higher sensitivity to extreme temperatures. Because thermal tolerance is
 not enhanced by larval developmental acclimation, these ‘risky’ stages may
 be forced to compensate through behavioural thermoregulation and
 short-term acclimation to face eventual heat peaks in the coming decades.

title: Data from: Do precipitation extremes drive growth and migration timing of a Pacific salmonid fish in Mediterranean‐climate streams?

description: Climate change is expected to increase weather extremes and variability,
 including more frequent weather whiplashes or extreme swings between
 severe drought and extraordinarily wet years. Shifts in precipitation
 patterns will alter stream flow regimes, affecting critical life history
 stages of sensitive aquatic organisms. Understanding how threatened fish
 species, such as steelhead/rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), are
 affected by stream flows in years with contrasting environmental
 conditions is important for their conservation. Here, we report how
 extreme wet and dry years, from 2015 to 2018, affected stream flow
 patterns in two tributaries to the South Fork Eel River, California, USA,
 and aspects of O. mykiss ecology, including over‐summer fish growth and
 body condition as well as spring out‐migration timing. We found that
 stream flow patterns differed across years in the timing and magnitude of
 large winter–spring flow events and in summer low‐flow levels. We were
 surprised to find that differences in stream flows did not impact growth,
 body condition, or timing of out‐migration of O. mykiss. Fish growth was
 limited in the late summer in these streams (average of 0.02 ± 0.05 mm/d),
 but was similar across dry and wet years, and so was end‐of‐summer body
 condition and pool‐specific biomass loss from the beginning to the end of
 the summer. Similarly, O. mykiss migrated out of tributaries during the
 last week of March/first week of April regardless of the timing of spring
 flow events. We suggest that the muted response to inter‐annual hydrologic
 variability is due to the high quality of habitat provided by these
 unimpaired, groundwater‐fed tributaries. Similar streams that are likely
 to maintain cool temperatures and sufficient base flows, even in the
 driest years, should be a high priority for conservation and restoration
 efforts.

title: Data from: Will like replace like? linking thermal performance to ecological function across predator and herbivore populations

description: The inability of species to adapt to changing climate may cause ecological
 communities to disassemble and lose ecological functioning. However,
 theory suggests that communities may be resilient whenever populations
 within species exhibit variation in thermal plasticity or adaptation
 whereby thermally tolerant populations replace thermally sensitive ones.
 But will they maintain the functional roles of the populations being
 replaced? This study evaluated whether “like replaces like” functionally
 by measuring how four populations of a grasshopper herbivore and its
 co-occurring spider predator cope with environmental warming. The study
 occurred across a latitudinal gradient bounded by southerly, warmer
 Connecticut and northerly, cooler New Hampshire, USA. The study compared
 the survival rates, thermal performance, habitat usage, and food chain
 interactions of each grasshopper and spider population between its home
 field site (field of origin) and a Connecticut transplant site, and the
 native Connecticut population. Three grasshopper populations exhibited
 physiological plasticity by adjusting metabolic rates. The fourth
 population selected cooler habitat locations. Spider populations did not
 alter their metabolism, and instead selected cooler habitat locations
 thereby altering spatial overlap with their prey and food chain
 interactions. Grasshopper populations that coped physiologically consumed
 plants in different ratios than the fourth population and the Connecticut
 population. Hence “like may not replace like” whenever populations adapt
 physiologically to warming.

title: Data from: Prediction of pneumoconiosis by serum and urinary biomarkers in workers exposed to asbestos-contaminated minerals

description: Workers processing nephrite, antigorite, or talc may be exposed to
 paragenetic asbestos minerals. An effective screening method for
 pneumoconiosis in workers exposed to asbestos-contaminated minerals is
 still lacking. The objective of this study was to assess the diagnostic
 accuracy of serum and urinary biomarkers for pneumoconiosis in workers
 exposed to asbestos-contaminated minerals. We conducted a case-control
 study in a cohort of stone craft workers in Hualien, where asbestos,
 nephrite, antigorite, and talc are produced. A total of 140 subjects were
 screened between March 2013 and July 2014. All subjects received a
 questionnaire survey and a health examination that included a physical
 examination; chest X-ray; and tests for standard pulmonary function,
 fractional exhaled nitric oxide, serum soluble mesothelin-related peptide
 (SMRP), fibulin-3, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and urinary
 8-Oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG)/creatinine. After excluding subjects
 with uraemia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), we included
 48 subjects with pneumoconiosis and 90 control subjects without
 pneumoconiosis for analysis. In terms of occupational history, 43/48 (90%)
 case subjects and 68% (61/90) of the control subjects had processed
 asbestos-contaminated minerals, including nephrite, antigorite, and talc.
 The case group had decreased pulmonary function in forced vital capacity
 (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second, and forced expiratory flow
 between 25% and 75% of the FVC. The levels of SMRP, fibulin-3, urinary
 8-OHdG/creatinine, and CEA were higher in the case group than in the
 control group. Subjects exposed to nephrite had significantly higher SMRP
 levels (0.84 ± 0.52 nM) than subjects exposed to other types of minerals
 (0.60 ± 0.30 nM). A dose-response relationship was observed between the
 SMRP level and the severity of pneumoconiosis. Machine learning
 algorithms, including variables of sex, age, SMRP, fibulin-3, CEA, and
 8-OHdG/creatinine, can predict pneumoconiosis with high accuracy. The
 areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves ranged from 0.7
 to 1.0. We suggest that SMRP and fibulin-3 could be used as biomarkers of
 pneumoconiosis in workers exposed to asbestos-contaminated minerals.
