title: Data from: Colour plasticity alters thermoregulatory behaviour in Battus philenor caterpillars by modifying the cue received

description: Behaviour is an important way for animals to rapidly respond to changes in
 their current environment; however, over extended periods animals can also
 respond to environmental change via slower, developmental plasticity in
 other traits. This developmental plasticity could itself alter the
 animal's behaviour in two ways: it could change the state of the
 aspect of the animal's current environment that induces the behaviour
 (the cue), or it could change the physiology underlying production of that
 behaviour (the behavioural reaction norm). We tested these alternatives
 for two responses to temperature, colour plasticity and refuge-seeking
 behaviour, in pipevine swallowtail, Battus philenor, caterpillars. Prior
 research found that black caterpillars seek thermal refuges at lower
 ambient temperatures than red caterpillars in the field. Here, we found
 that the effect of colour on behaviour in the laboratory depended on how
 we heated the caterpillars. When warmed by radiant heat, black
 caterpillars sought refuge sooner than red caterpillars, as occurs in
 nature. In contrast, when warmed by conduction of heat, black caterpillars
 no longer sought refuges sooner than red caterpillars. Both colour morphs
 began seeking refuges at the same body temperature in both experiments,
 and the sensitivity of their metabolic rate to temperature was also the
 same. Taken together, our findings indicate that while colour does change
 the cue for refuge seeking, it does not change the behaviour's
 reaction norm. Similar cue-mediated interactions may often occur for
 thermoregulatory behaviour in other species.

title: Data from: Epistasis and maternal effects in experimental adaptation to chronic nutritional stress in Drosophila

description: Based on ecological and metabolic arguments some authors predict that
 adaptation to novel, harsh environments should involve alleles showing
 negative (diminishing return) epistasis and/or that it should be mediated
 in part by evolution of maternal effects. While the first prediction has
 been supported in microbes, there has been little experimental support for
 either prediction in multicellular eukaryotes. Here we use a line-cross
 design to study the genetic architecture of adaptation to chronic larval
 malnutrition in a population of Drosophila melanogaster which evolved on
 an extremely nutrient-poor larval food for 84 generations. We assayed
 three fitness-related traits (developmental rate, adult female weight and
 egg-to-adult viability) under the malnutrition conditions in 14 crosses
 between this selected population and a non-adapted control population
 originally derived from the same base population. All traits showed a
 pattern of negative epistasis between alleles improving performance under
 malnutrition. Furthermore, evolutionary changes in maternal traits
 accounted for half of the 68 % increase in viability and for the whole of
 8 % reduction in adult female body weight in the selected population
 (relative to unselected controls). These results thus support both of the
 above predictions and point to the importance of non-additive effects in
 adaptive microevolution.

title: Data from: Assessment of identity disequilibrium and its relation to empirical heterozygosity fitness correlations: a meta-analysis

description: Heterozygosity fitness correlations (HFCs) have often been used to detect
 inbreeding depression, under the assumption that genome-wide
 heterozygosity is a good proxy for inbreeding. However, meta-analyses of
 the association between fitness measures and individual heterozygosity
 have shown that often either no correlation is observed, or the effect
 sizes are small. One of the reasons for this may be the absence of
 variance in inbreeding, a requisite for generating general-effect HFCs.
 Recent work has highlighted identity disequilibrium (ID) as a measure that
 may capture variance in the level of inbreeding within a population,
 however, no thorough assessment of ID in natural populations has been
 conducted. In this meta-analysis we assess the magnitude of ID (as
 measured by the g2 statistic) from 50 previously published HFC studies and
 its relationship to the observed effect sizes of those studies. We then
 assess how much power the studies had to detect general-effect HFCs, and
 the number of markers that would have been needed to generate an expected
 high correlation (r2 = 0.9) between observed heterozygosity and
 inbreeding. Across the majority of studies g2 values were not
 significantly different than zero. Despite this, we found that the
 magnitude of g2 was associated with the average effect sizes observed in a
 population, even when point estimates were non-significant. These low
 values of g2 translated into low expected correlations between
 heterozygosity and inbreeding, and suggest that many more markers than
 typically used are needed to robustly detect HFCs.

title: Data from: The early bird gets the worm: foraging strategies of wild songbirds lead to the early discovery of food sources

description: Animals need to manage the combined risks of predation and starvation in
 order to survive. Theoretical and empirical studies have shown that
 individuals can reduce predation risk by delaying feeding (and hence fat
 storage) until late afternoon. However little is known about how
 individuals manage the opposing pressures of resource uncertainty and
 predation risks. We suggest that individuals should follow a two-part
 strategy: prioritising the discovery of food early in the day and
 exploiting the best patch late in the day. Using automated data loggers,
 we tested if a temporal component exists in the discovery of novel
 foraging locations by individuals in a mixed-species foraging guild. We
 found that food deployed in the morning was discovered significantly more
 often than food deployed in the afternoon. Based on the diurnal activity
 patterns in this population, overall rates of new arrivals were also
 significantly higher than expected in the morning and significantly lower
 than expected in the afternoon. These results align with our predictions
 of a shift from patch discovery to exploitation over the course of the
 day.

title: Data from: Optimizing carbon storage and biodiversity co-benefits in reforested riparian zones

description: 1. Climate change and biodiversity loss are two global challenges that can
 be addressed simultaneously through reforestation of previously cleared
 land. However, carbon markets can encourage reforestations that focus on
 maximizing carbon storage, potentially at the expense of biodiversity
 conservation. 2. To identify opportunities to optimize reforestation
 design and management to meet both goals, we examined the forest stand
 features associated with carbon stocks in biomass and soil as well as bird
 abundance and diversity in remnant and restored riparian forest stands in
 central California, U.S.A. 3. Within three decades of reforestation, both
 planted and naturally regenerating riparian forest stands provided
 significantly greater carbon storage and avian biodiversity benefits
 compared to baseline conditions, and they were similar to a remnant forest
 stand. 4. We identified strong positive associations between understory
 cover, carbon storage, and biodiversity benefits, and a trade-off between
 these benefits in their relationships to forest stand density. Biomass
 carbon stocks were strongly positively related to stand density, while
 bird density and diversity suffered at the highest stand densities. 5. The
 variability in understory cover across forest stands indicates an
 opportunity for further enhancement of carbon and biodiversity benefits in
 areas where understory cover is low, while the variability in stand
 density suggests an opportunity to re-examine reforestation goals and
 consider thinning to achieve those goals. 6. Synthesis and applications.
 Identifying these synergies and trade-offs provides opportunities to
 optimize reforestation design and management, maximizing the chances of
 successfully addressing the global challenges of climate change and
 biodiversity loss.29-Aug-2018

title: Data from: Towards a mechanistic understanding of the effect that different species of large grazers have on grassland soil N availability

description: 1. Herbivore grazing has major effects on soil nutrient dynamics in a
 variety of grassland ecosystems. Previous studies have examined how large
 herbivores as a group affect nutrient cycling, but little information is
 available on how assemblages of different herbivore species may influence
 nutrient cycling, and whether herbivore assemblage effects are influenced
 by plant community characteristics (e.g., composition, diversity) of the
 grazed grassland. 2. We conducted a five-year, replicated grazing
 experiment to test the effects of different large herbivore assemblages
 (cattle grazing, sheep grazing, combined cattle and sheep grazing, no
 grazing) under moderate grazing intensity on soil nitrogen (N)
 mineralization rate in two types of grassland communities (high forbs/high
 diversity and low forbs/low diversity) in meadow steppe habitat of
 northeast China. Moreover, we examined two distinctly different pathways
 that herbivores could influence soil N availability: directly through
 urine and dung deposition and indirectly by shifting grassland species
 composition (i.e., the grass: forb ratio), thereby the quality of plant
 litter available to soil decomposers. 3. We found that grazer effects on
 soil N availability (indexed with anion and cation adsorption strips)
 depended on herbivore assemblage, and the herbivore assemblage effects
 varied in the two types of grasslands. In one type of grassland
 characterized by low diversity, grazing by each of the herbivore
 assemblages enhanced soil N availability compared to the ungrazed plots,
 and mixed species (cattle and sheep) grazing had a greater effect than
 single species grazing. In high diversity grassland, single species
 herbivore grazing significantly increased soil N availability, but mixed
 grazing had no effect. 4. Mixed linear modelling revealed that soil N
 availability was facilitated primarily by excreta additions to the soil
 and secondarily by the abundance of grasses. 5. Synthesis. Grazers
 increased soil N availability directly by adding readily accessible N in
 urine and dung to the soil. Herbivores indirectly influenced soil N
 availability by altering the plant composition (grass: forb cover). Both
 mechanisms contributed to the variation in how different herbivore
 assemblages affected soil N availability in the two grassland types.

title: Data from: Sexually selected traits evolve positive allometry when some matings occur irrespective of the trait

description: Positive allometry of secondary sexual traits (whereby larger individuals
 have disproportionally larger traits than smaller individuals) has been
 called one of the most pervasive and poorly understood regularities in the
 study of animal form and function. Its widespread occurrence is in
 contrast with theoretical predictions that it should evolve only under
 rather special circumstances.

title: Data from: Migration enhances adaptation in bacteriophage populations evolving in ecological sinks

description: Migration between populations can be a major evolutionary force. However,
 some disagreement exists as to precisely how migration affects population
 adaptation. Some theories emphasize the inhibitory effects of gene flow
 between locally adapted populations, whereas others propose that migration
 can enhance adaptation. Migration has also been theorized to rescue sink
 populations from extinction. In our experiments, we serially passaged
 bacteriophage Φ6 host range mutants under sink conditions on a novel host
 while manipulating the source and number of migrants into these
 experimental populations. Migrants from two sources were used: mutant Φ6
 phage able to infect a novel host (treatment) and wild-type Φ6 phage
 unable to infect a novel host (control). We used quadratic regressions to
 determine the relationship between the number of migrants per passage and
 the absolute fitnesses of experimental populations following 30 passages.
 Our results showed that migration from a control population had no effect
 on absolute fitnesses of our serially passaged populations following 30
 passages. By contrast, the relationship between migrants per passage and
 absolute fitnesses for populations receiving migrants able to infect the
 novel host was best described by an upwardly concave curve. These results
 suggest that intermediate levels of migration can have favorable impacts
 on evolutionary adaptation.

title: Data from: Locomotion and attachment of leaf beetle larvae Gastrophysa viridula (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae)

description: While adult green dock leaf beetles Gastrophysa viridula use tarsal
 adhesive setae to attach to and walk on smooth vertical surfaces and
 ceilings, larvae apply different devices for similar purposes: pretarsal
 adhesive pads on thoracic legs and a retractable pygopod at the 10th
 abdominal segment. Both are soft smooth structures and capable of wet
 adhesion. We studied attachment ability of different larval instars,
 considering the relationship between body weight and real contact area
 between attachment devices and the substrate. Larval gait patterns were
 analysed using high-speed video recordings. Instead of the tripod gait of
 adults, larvae walked by swinging contralateral legs simultaneously while
 adhering by the pygopod. Attachment ability of larval instars was measured
 by centrifugation on a spinning drum, revealing that attachment force
 decreases relative to weight. Contributions of different attachment
 devices to total attachment ability were investigated by selective
 disabling of organs by covering them with melted wax. Despite their
 smaller overall contact area, tarsal pads contributed to a larger extent
 to total attachment ability, probably because of their distributed
 spacing. Furthermore, we observed different behaviour in adults and larvae
 when centrifuged: while adults gradually slipped outward on the centrifuge
 drum surface, larvae stayed at the initial position until sudden
 detachment.

title: Data from: Drivers of the spatial scale that best predict primate responses to landscape structure

description: Understanding the effect of landscape structure on biodiversity is
 critically needed to improve management strategies. To accurately evaluate
 such effect, landscape metrics need to be assessed at the correct scale,
 i.e. considering the spatial extent at which species‐landscape
 relationship is strongest (scale of effect, SE). Although SE is highly
 variable, its drivers are poorly known, but of key relevance to understand
 the way species use the landscape. In this study, we evaluate whether and
 how species traits, biological responses, landscape variables and the
 regional context of the study drive SE in Mexican primates. We estimated
 the relative abundance and immature‐to‐female ratio (a proxy of
 reproductive success) of howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata and A. pigra)
 and spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) in 48 forest patches from four
 rainforest regions (12 patches per region) with different land‐use
 intensity. We then assessed the composition (forest cover, matrix
 functionality) and configuration (forest patch density, connectors’
 density, forest edge density) of local landscapes considering 13 scales
 (100 to 1300‐m radius) to identify the spatial extent at which each
 landscape variable best predict each response variable in each species and
 region. We found that SE did not differ significantly among the drivers
 evaluated. However, it tended to be lower for connectors’ density than for
 forest patch density and forest edge density, probably because connectors’
 density is associated with local‐scale processes such as supplementary
 dynamics. Surprisingly, SE also tended to be higher in the more disturbed
 region than in the rest of the regions, probably because primates in the
 more disturbed region used larger areas of the landscape. Our findings
 therefore suggest that SE depends more strongly on landscape variables and
 regional context than on species traits and biological responses, and
 hence, especial caution should be taken when attempting to generalize SE
 to different explanatory variables and regions.

title: Data from: Phylogeography of a pan-Atlantic abyssal protobranch bivalve: implications for evolution in the Deep Atlantic

description: The deep sea is a vast and essentially continuous environment with few
 obvious barriers to gene flow. How populations diverge and new species
 form in this remote ecosystem is poorly understood. Phylogeographic
 analyses have begun to provide some insight into evolutionary processes at
 bathyal depths (&lt; 3000 m), but much less is known about evolution
 in the more extensive abyssal regions (&gt;3000 m). Here we quantify
 geographic and bathymetric patterns of genetic variation (16S rRNA
 mitochondrial gene) in the protobranch bivalve Ledella ultima, which is
 one of the most abundant abyssal protobranchs in the Atlantic with a broad
 bathymetric and geographic distribution. We found virtually no genetic
 divergence within basins and only modest divergence among eight Atlantic
 basins. Levels of population divergence among basins were related to
 geographic distance and were greater in the South Atlantic than in the
 North Atlantic. Ocean-wide patterns of genetic variation indicate basin
 wide divergence that exceeds what others have found for abyssal organisms,
 but considerably less than bathyal protobranchs across similar geographic
 scales. Populations on either side of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the North
 Atlantic differed suggesting the Ridge might impede gene flow at abyssal
 depths. Our results indicate that abyssal populations might be quite large
 (cosmopolitan), exhibit only modest genetic structure and probably provide
 little potential for the formation of new species.
