title: Data from: Intraspecific variation of a dominant grass and local adaptation in reciprocal garden communities along a US Great Plains’ precipitation gradient: implications for grassland restoration with climate change

description: Identifying suitable genetic stock for restoration often employs a ‘best
 guess’ approach. Without adaptive variation studies, restoration may be
 misguided. We test the extent to which climate in central US grasslands
 exerts selection pressure on a foundation grass big bluestem (Andropogon
 gerardii), widely used in restorations, and resulting in local adaptation.
 We seeded three regional ecotypes of A. gerardii in reciprocal transplant
 garden communities across 1150 km precipitation gradient. We measured
 ecological responses over several timescales (instantaneous gas exchange,
 medium-term chlorophyll absorbance, and long-term responses of
 establishment and cover) in response to climate and biotic factors and
 tested if ecotypes could expand range. The ecotype from the driest region
 exhibited greatest cover under low rainfall, suggesting local adaptation
 under abiotic stress. Unexpectedly, no evidence for cover differences
 between ecotypes exists at mesic sites where establishment and cover of
 all ecotypes were low, perhaps due to strong biotic pressures. Expression
 of adaptive differences is strongly environment specific. Given observed
 adaptive variation, the most conservative restoration strategy would be to
 plant the local ecotype, especially in drier locations. With superior
 performance of the most xeric ecotype under dry conditions and predicted
 drought, this ecotype may migrate eastward, naturally or with assistance
 in restorations.

title: Data from: Accelerating extinction risk from climate change

description: Current predictions of extinction risks from climate change vary widely
 depending on the specific assumptions and geographic and taxonomic focus
 of each study. I synthesized published studies in order to estimate a
 global mean extinction rate and determine which factors contribute the
 greatest uncertainty to climate change–induced extinction risks. Results
 suggest that extinction risks will accelerate with future global
 temperatures, threatening up to one in six species under current policies.
 Extinction risks were highest in South America, Australia, and New
 Zealand, and risks did not vary by taxonomic group. Realistic assumptions
 about extinction debt and dispersal capacity substantially increased
 extinction risks. We urgently need to adopt strategies that limit further
 climate change if we are to avoid an acceleration of global extinctions.

title: Data from: Short-term genetic consequences of habitat loss and fragmentation for the neotropical palm Oenocarpus bataua

description: Habitat loss and fragmentation may impact animal-mediated dispersal of
 seed and pollen, and a key question is how the genetic attributes of plant
 populations respond to these changes. Theory predicts that genetic
 diversity may be less sensitive to such disruptions in the short term,
 whereas inbreeding and genetic structure may respond more strongly.
 However, results from studies to date vary in relation to species, context
 and the parameter being assessed, triggering calls for more empirical
 studies, especially from the tropics, where plant–animal dispersal
 mutualisms are both disproportionately common and at risk. We compared the
 genetic characteristics of adults and recruits in a long-lived palm
 Oenocarpus bataua in a recently fragmented landscape (&lt;2
 generations) in northwest Ecuador using a suite of 10 polymorphic
 microsatellite markers. We sampled individuals from six forest fragments
 and one nearby continuous forest. Our goal was to assess short-term
 consequences of fragmentation, with a focus on how well empirical data
 from this system follow theoretical expectations. Mostly congruent with
 predictions, we found stronger genetic differentiation and fine-scale
 spatial genetic structure among recruits in fragments compared with
 recruits in continuous forest, but we did not record differences in
 genetic diversity or inbreeding, nor did we record any differences between
 adults in fragments and adults in continuous forest. Our findings suggest
 that genetic characteristics of populations vary in their sensitivity to
 change in response to habitat loss and fragmentation, and that fine-scale
 spatial genetic structure may be a particularly useful indicator of
 genetic change in recently fragmented landscapes.

title: Data from: Comparing bee species responses to chemical mixtures: common response patterns?

description: Pollinators in agricultural landscapes can be exposed to mixtures of
 pesticides and environmental pollutants. Existing mixture toxicity
 modelling approaches, such as the models of concentration addition and
 independent action and the mechanistic DEBtox framework have been
 previously shown as valuable tools for understanding and ultimately
 predicting joint toxicity. Here we apply these mixture models to
 investigate the potential to interpret the effects of semi-chronic binary
 mixture exposure for three bee species: Apis mellifera, Bombus terrestris
 and Osmia bicornis within potentiation and mixture toxicity experiments.
 In the potentiation studies, the effect of the insecticide dimethoate with
 added propiconazole fungicide and neonicotinoid insecticide clothianidin
 with added tau-fluvalinate pyrethroid acaricide showed no difference in
 toxicity compared to the single chemical alone. Clothianidin toxicity
 showed a small scale, but temporally conserved increase in exposure
 conducted in the presence of propiconazole, particularly for B. terrestris
 and O. bicornis, the latter showing a near three-fold increase in
 clothianidin toxicity in the presence of propiconazole. In the mixture
 toxicity studies, the dominant response patterns were of additivity,
 however, binary mixtures of clothianidin and dimethoate in A. mellifera,
 B. terrestris and male O. bicornis there was evidence of a predominant
 antagonistic interaction. Given the ubiquitous nature of exposures to
 multiple chemicals, there is an urgent need to consider mixture effects in
 pollinator risk assessments. Our analyses suggest that current models,
 particularly those that utilise time-series data, such as DEBtox, can be
 used to identify additivity as the dominant response pattern and also
 those examples of interactions, even when small-scale, that may need to be
 taken into account during risk assessment.

title: Data from: Educational disparities in the intention to quit smoking among male smokers in China: a cross-sectional survey on the explanations provided by the theory of planned behaviour

description: Objectives: We aim to describe the intention to quit smoking among Chinese
 male smokers from different educational backgrounds and to explain this
 intention from their attitude, perceived social norms and self-efficacy
 regarding smoking cessation. Setting: Participants were recruited from
 workplaces and communities to reflect the occupational distribution in
 three cities (Shanghai, Nanning and Mudanjiang) in China. Design: and
 participants In 2013 interviews were conducted with 3676 male smokers aged
 18 years and older. Outcome: measures Multivariate logistic regression
 analyses calculated educational differences in the intention to quit
 smoking as well as the association between the intention to quit smoking
 and attitude, subjective norms, and self-efficacy. Bootstrapping estimated
 to what extent the educational disparities in the intention to quit
 smoking were mediated by these three determinants. Results No educational
 disparities in the intention to quit smoking within 1 or 6 months were
 observed among male Chinese smokers (p=0.623 and p=0.153, respectively). A
 less negative attitude, a higher perceived subjective norm towards smoking
 cessation, and a higher perceived self-efficacy to quit smoking were all
 associated with intention to quit (all p values &lt;0.001). Perceived
 subjective norms were the only component of the theory of planned
 behaviour that statistically significantly mediated the differences in the
 intention to quit smoking (within 1 or 6 months) between the lowest
 educated Chinese men and the groups with lower (β=0.039, 95% CI 0.017 to
 0.071 and β=0.043, 95% CI 0.019 to 0.073), higher (β=0.041, 95% CI 0.017
 to 0.075 and β=0.045, 95% CI 0.019 to 0.077) and the highest education
 (β=0.045, 95% CI 0.019 to 0.080 and β=0.050, 95% CI 0.023 to 0.083).
 Conclusions: In order to prevent future socioeconomic disparities in
 smoking cessation, investment in a more stimulating social environment and
 norms towards smoking cessation among particularly the lowest educated
 Chinese men is warranted.

title: Data from: Carryover effects drive competitive dominance in spatially structured environments

description: Understanding how changes to the quality of habitat patches affect the
 distribution of species across the whole landscape is critical in our
 human-dominated world and changing climate. Although patterns of species’
 abundances across a landscape are clearly influenced by dispersal among
 habitats and local species interactions, little is known about how the
 identity and origin of dispersers affect these patterns. Because traits of
 individuals are altered by experiences in their natal habitat, differences
 in the natal habitat of dispersers can carry over when individuals
 disperse to new habitats and alter their fitness and interactions with
 other species. We manipulated the presence or absence of such carried-over
 natal habitat effects for up to eight generations to examine their
 influence on two interacting species across multiple dispersal rates and
 different habitat compositions. We found that experimentally accounting
 for the natal habitat of dispersers significantly influenced competitive
 outcomes at all spatial scales and increased total community biomass
 within a landscape. However, the direction and magnitude of the impact of
 natal habitat effects was dependent upon landscape type and dispersal
 rate. Interestingly, effects of natal habitats increased the difference
 between species performance across the landscape, suggesting that natal
 habitat effects could alter competitive interactions to promote spatial
 coexistence. Given that heterogeneity in habitat quality is ubiquitous in
 nature, natal habitat effects are likely important drivers of spatial
 community structure and could promote variation in species performance,
 which may help facilitate spatial coexistence. The results have important
 implications for conservation and invasive species management.

title: Data from: Crayfish molecular systematics: using a combination of procedures to estimate phylogeny

description: The use of comparative methods to test evolutionary hypotheses has become
 more common at both the macro- and microevolutionary levels. The
 application of such techniques is especially troublesome at the interface
 of these levels because phylogenetic relationships are often difficult to
 estimate. The use of a technique developed to estimate intraspecific
 cladograms combined with more traditional methods of phylogenetic
 estimation can improve the estimate in data sets containing a range of
 diversity when the lower bound of the range approaches 0% divergence. For
 nucleotide sequence data from the 16S region of the mitochondrial DNA from
 72 individuals representing 37 species, this combined-procedures approach
 improved the estimate of phylogenetic relationships using
 maximum-parsimony, maximum-likelihood, and neighbor-joining methods. The
 estimated trees were used to examine systematic hypotheses relating to the
 crayfish genus Orconectes and species relationships within the subgenus
 Procericambarus. The monophyly of Procericambarus is not supported by the
 mitochondrial data, and the hypotheses of unique origins of various
 morphological features previously used in determining crayfish
 relationships is unsupported.

title: Data from: Effects of disturbance frequency and severity on plant traits: an assessment across a temperate flora

description: (1) Recent analyses of plant traits across large sets of species have
 revolutionized our understanding of plant functional differentiation.
 However, understanding of ecological relevance of this differentiation is
 contingent upon knowledge of environmental preferences of species, namely
 along gradients of disturbance and productivity for which no quantitative
 data were available until recently. (2) We examined the relationships of
 key functional traits (life-history categories, leaf-height-seed traits,
 clonal growth and bud bank traits) in the herb-dominated flora of Central
 Europe to species niche positions along the gradients of disturbance
 frequency, disturbance severity and productivity. (3) Life-history
 categories and bud bank size showed the strongest response to disturbance
 and productivity, whereas relationship of leaf-height-seed traits were
 much weaker. A number of traits, including clonal growth form and bud bank
 size, showed significantly unimodal response to disturbance frequency.
 Responses of many traits to disturbance frequency were different from
 their responses to disturbance severity. (4) Our findings support the
 notions that disturbance and productivity are key gradients of species
 functional differentiation and that disturbance severity and frequency
 select for different trait suites. Further the data indicate that in a
 predominantly herbaceous flora the traits of lifespan, clonal growth and
 resprouting show stronger relationship to the environment than the
 leaf-height-seed traits, which are more important in floras with high
 proportions of woody species. Since most previous trait analyses are based
 on woody-plant-dominated floras, patterns revealed in a herb-dominated
 flora deepen our understanding of the full range of variation within the
 plant kingdom.

title: Data from: Trophic divergence despite morphological convergence in a continental radiation of snakes

description: Ecological and phenotypic convergence is a potential outcome of adaptive
 radiation in response to ecological opportunity. However, a number of
 factors may limit convergence during evolutionary radiations, including
 interregional differences in biogeographic history and clade-specific
 constraints on form and function. Here, we demonstrate that a single clade
 of terrestrial snakes from Australia—the oxyuranine elapids—exhibits
 widespread morphological convergence with a phylogenetically diverse and
 distantly related assemblage of snakes from North America. Australian
 elapids have evolved nearly the full spectrum of phenotypic modalities
 that occurs among North American snakes. Much of the convergence appears
 to involve the recurrent evolution of stereotyped morphologies associated
 with foraging mode, locomotion and habitat use. By contrast, analysis of
 snake diets indicates striking divergence in feeding ecology between these
 faunas, partially reflecting regional differences in ecological allometry
 between Australia and North America. Widespread phenotypic convergence
 with the North American snake fauna coupled with divergence in feeding
 ecology are clear examples of how independent continental radiations may
 converge along some ecological axes yet differ profoundly along others.

title: Data from: Distributional shifts – not geographic isolation – as a probable driver of montane species divergence

description: As biodiversity hotspots, montane regions have been a focus of research to
 understand the divergence process. Like their oceanic counterparts, the
 diversity of the “sky islands” might be ascribed to geographic isolation
 of mountaintops. However, because the sky islands, and especially those in
 northern latitudes, are subject to extreme climatic events such as the
 glacial cycles that drove both altitudinal and geographical shifts in
 species’ distributions, the dynamic colonization process is also a
 possible factor driving divergence. Here we test these two hypotheses
 (i.e., isolation versus colonization) in a flightless montane grasshopper,
 Melanoplus oregonensis, which is a member of a diverse group that radiated
 across the Rocky Mountains of North America. Using approximate Bayesian
 computation (ABC) and spatially explicit simulations that account for
 spatial heterogeneity and temporal shifts in species distributions, we
 show that a colonization model of the sky islands from refugial
 populations provides a significantly better fit to the empirical genetic
 data than a model of the geographic isolation among sky islands. Moreover,
 support for the colonization model holds irrespective of whether the
 movement of individuals was modeled as a diffusion process or was informed
 by differences in habitat suitabilities across the landscape. With
 validation analyses to confirm the models provide a good fit to the data,
 as well as general power and quality analyses, the research not only adds
 to a growing body of work on the complex dynamics underlying montane
 biodiversity, but it also provides much needed evaluation of competing
 hypotheses based on explicit models of the divergence process, as opposed
 to inferences about diversification drivers from species diversity
 patterns.

title: Data from: Rearing temperature influences adult response to changes in mating status

description: Rearing environment can have an impact on adult behavior, but it is less
 clear how rearing environment influences adult behavior plasticity. Here
 we explore the effect of rearing temperature on adult mating behavior
 plasticity in the butterfly Bicyclus anynana, a species that has evolved
 two seasonal forms in response to seasonal changes in temperature. These
 seasonal forms differ in both morphology and behavior. Females are the
 choosy sex in cohorts reared at warm temperatures (WS butterflies), and
 males are the choosy sex in cohorts reared at cooler temperatures (DS
 butterflies). Rearing temperature also influences mating benefits and
 costs. In DS butterflies, mated females live longer than virgin females,
 and mated males live shorter than virgin males. No such benefits or costs
 to mating are present in WS butterflies. Given that choosiness and mating
 costs are rearing temperature dependent in B. anynana, we hypothesized
 that temperature may also impact male and female incentives to remate in
 the event that benefits and costs of second matings are similar to those
 of first matings. We first examined whether lifespan was affected by
 number of matings. We found that two matings did not significantly
 increase lifespan for either WS or DS butterflies relative to single
 matings. However, both sexes of WS but not DS butterflies experienced
 decreased longevity when mated to a non-virgin relative to a virgin. We
 next observed pairs of WS and DS butterflies and documented changes in
 mating behavior in response to changes in the mating status of their
 partner. WS but not DS butterflies changed their mating behavior in
 response to the mating status of their partner. These results suggest that
 rearing temperature influences adult mating behavior plasticity in B.
 anynana. This developmentally controlled behavioral plasticity may be
 adaptive, as lifespan depends on the partner’s mating status in one
 seasonal form, but not in the other.
