title: Data from: Candidate genes for colour and vision exhibit signals of selection across the pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) breeding range

description: The role of natural selection in shaping adaptive trait differentiation in
 natural populations has long been recognized. Determining its molecular
 basis, however, remains a challenge. Here, we search for signals of
 selection in candidate genes for colour and its perception in a passerine
 bird. Pied flycatcher plumage varies geographically in both its structural
 and pigment-based properties. Both characteristics appear to be shaped by
 selection. A single-locus outlier test revealed two of fourteen loci to
 exhibit significantly elevated signals of divergence. The first of these,
 the follistatin gene, is expressed in the developing feather bud and found
 in pathways with genes that determine the structure of feathers and may
 thus be important in generating variation in structural colouration. The
 second is a gene potentially underlying the ability to detect this
 variation: SWS1 opsin. These two loci were most differentiated in two
 Spanish pied flycatcher populations, which are also among the populations
 that have the highest ultraviolet reflectance. The follistatin and SWS1
 opsin genes, thus provide strong candidates for future investigations on
 the molecular basis of adaptively significant traits and their
 co-evolution.

title: Data from: Larger trees suffer most during drought in forests worldwide

description: The frequency of severe droughts is increasing in many regions around the
 world as a result of climate change. Droughts alter the structure and
 function of forests. Site- and region-specific studies suggest that large
 trees, which play keystone roles in forests and can be disproportionately
 important to ecosystem carbon storage and hydrology, exhibit greater
 sensitivity to drought than small trees. Here, we synthesize data on tree
 growth and mortality collected during 40 drought events in forests
 worldwide to see whether this size-dependent sensitivity to drought holds
 more widely. We find that droughts consistently had a more detrimental
 impact on the growth and mortality rates of larger trees. Moreover,
 drought-related mortality increased with tree size in 65% of the droughts
 examined, especially when community-wide mortality was high or when bark
 beetles were present. The more pronounced drought sensitivity of larger
 trees could be underpinned by greater inherent vulnerability to hydraulic
 stress, the higher radiation and evaporative demand experienced by exposed
 crowns, and the tendency for bark beetles to preferentially attack larger
 trees. We suggest that future droughts will have a more detrimental impact
 on the growth and mortality of larger trees, potentially exacerbating
 feedbacks to climate change.

title: Data from: Immune response and insulin signalling alter mosquito feeding behaviour to enhance malaria transmission potential

description: Malaria parasites alter mosquito feeding behaviour in a way that enhances
 parasite transmission. This is widely considered a prime example of
 manipulation of host behaviour to increase onward transmission, but
 transient immune challenge in the absence of parasites can induce the same
 behavioural phenotype. Here, we show that alterations in feeding behaviour
 depend on the timing and dose of immune challenge relative to blood
 ingestion and that these changes are functionally linked to changes in
 insulin signalling in the mosquito gut. These results suggest that altered
 phenotypes derive from insulin signalling-dependent host resource
 allocation among immunity, blood feeding, and reproduction in a manner
 that is not specific to malaria parasite infection. We measured large
 increases in mosquito survival and subsequent transmission potential when
 feeding patterns are altered. Leveraging these changes in physiology,
 behaviour and life history could promote effective and sustainable control
 of female mosquitoes responsible for transmission.

title: Data from: Geographic population structure of the African malaria vector Anopheles gambiae suggests a role for the forest-savannah biome transition as a barrier to gene flow

description: The primary Afrotropical malaria mosquito vector Anopheles gambiae sensu
 stricto has a complex population structure. In western Africa, this
 species is split into two molecular forms and displays local and regional
 variation in chromosomal arrangements and behaviours. To investigate
 patterns of macro-geographic population substructure, 25 An. gambiae
 samples from 12 African countries were genotyped at 13 microsatellite
 loci. This analysis detected the presence of additional population
 structuring, with the M-form being subdivided into distinct west, central
 and southern African genetic clusters. These clusters are coincident with
 the central African rainforest belt and northern and southern savannah
 biomes, which suggests restrictions to gene flow associated with the
 transition between these biomes. By contrast geographically patterned
 population substructure appears much weaker within the S-form.

title: Data from: European colonization, not Polynesian arrival, impacted population size and genetic diversity in the critically endangered New Zealand Zākāpō

description: Island endemic species are often vulnerable to decline and extinction
 following human settlement, and the genetic study of historical museum
 specimens can be useful in understanding these processes. The kākāpō
 (Strigops habroptilus) is a critically endangered New Zealand parrot that
 was formerly widespread and abundant. It is well established that both
 Polynesian and European colonization of New Zealand impacted the native
 avifauna, but the timeframe and severity of impacts have differed
 depending on species. Here, we investigated the relative importance of the
 2 waves of human settlement on kākāpō decline, using microsatellites and
 mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) to characterize recent kākāpō genetic and
 demographic history. We analyzed samples from 49 contemporary individuals
 and 54 museum specimens dating from 1884 to 1985. Genetic diversity
 decreased significantly between historical and contemporary kākāpō, with a
 decline in mean number of microsatellite alleles from 6.15 to 3.08 and in
 number of mtDNA haplotypes from 17 to 3. Modeling of demographic history
 indicated a recent population bottleneck linked to the period of European
 colonization (approximately 5 generations ago) but did not support a major
 decline linked to Polynesian settlement. Effective population size
 estimates were also larger for historical than contemporary kākāpō. Our
 findings inform contemporary kākāpō management by indicating the timeframe
 and possible cause of the bottleneck, which has implications for the
 management of extant genetic diversity. We demonstrate the broader utility
 of a historical perspective in understanding causes of decline and
 managing extinction risk in contemporary endangered species.

title: Data from: Female, but not male, tropical sparrows respond more strongly to the local song dialect: implications for population divergence.

description: In addition to the observed high diversity of species in the tropics,
 divergence among populations of the same species exists over short
 geographic distances in both phenotypic traits and neutral genetic
 markers. Divergence among populations suggests great potential for the
 evolution of reproductive isolation and eventual speciation. In birds,
 song can evolve quickly through cultural transmission resulting in
 regional dialects, which can be a critical component of reproductive
 isolation through variation in female preference. We examined female and
 male behavioral responses to local and non-local dialects in two
 allopatric populations of rufous-collared sparrows (Zonotrichia capensis)
 in the Andes of Ecuador. Here we show that female sparrows prefer their
 natal song dialect to the dialect from an allopatric population just 25 km
 away and separated by unsuitable higher elevation habitat (pass 4200 m),
 thus providing evidence of prezygotic reproductive isolation among
 populations. Males showed similar territorial responses to all conspecific
 dialects, with no consistent difference with respect to distance, making
 male territoriality uninformative for estimating reproductive isolation.
 This study provides novel evidence for culturally-based prezygotic
 isolation over very short distances in a tropical bird.

title: Data from: The role of scent marking in mate selection by female pumas (Puma concolor)

description: Mate selection influences individual fitness, is often based on complex
 cues and behaviours, and can be difficult to study in solitary species
 including carnivores. We used motion-triggered cameras at 29 community
 scrapes (i.e. scent marking locations used by multiple individuals) and
 home range data from 39 GPS-collared pumas (Puma concolor) to assess the
 relevance of communication behaviours for mate selection by female pumas
 in California. Female pumas visited community scrapes irregularly and
 visitation bouts appeared to be correlated with oestrus. Female pumas on
 average selected from 1.7 collared males, and selection was based on
 multiple cues that varied among the different time periods measured (i.e.
 the female’s visitation bout and in 90 days previous to the consorting
 event). Female mate selection over the course of a visitation bout was
 based on frequency of the male visitation, mass, and age. In the 90 days
 previous to consorting, the number of scrapes a male created was the most
 important contributor to selection, which was likely related to his
 residency status. We also found that at least 14% of females mated with
 multiple males, thus possibly confusing paternity. Our findings provide a
 mechanistic understanding of how female pumas use scent and auditory
 communication at community scrapes to select dominant resident males to
 mate with.

title: Data from: Social networks and the spread of Salmonella in a sleepy lizard population

description: Although theoretical models consider social networks as pathways for
 disease transmission, strong empirical support, particularly for
 indirectly transmitted parasites, is lacking for many wildlife
 populations. We found multiple genetic strains of the enteric bacterium
 Salmonella enterica within a population of Australian sleepy lizards
 (Tiliqua rugosa), and we found that pairs of lizards that shared bacterial
 genotypes were more strongly connected in the social network than were
 pairs of lizards that did not. In contrast there was no significant
 association between spatial proximity of lizard pairs and shared bacterial
 genotypes. These results provide strong correlative evidence that these
 bacteria are transmitted from host to host around the social network,
 rather than that adjacent lizards are picking up the same bacterial
 genotype from some common source.

title: Data from: Body size and evolution of motion dazzle coloration in lizards

description: ‘Motion dazzle’ patterns are a form of defensive coloration suggested to
 prevent successful capture during motion by causing predators to misjudge
 the direction or speed of prey movement. Several studies have found
 results supporting this idea, but little is known about the factors that
 favour the evolution of these antipredator colorations. A recent
 experimental study has suggested that the longitudinal striped patterns on
 body of lizards can redirect attacks to the tail via the motion dazzle
 effect. Using a virtual predation experiment with humans and a
 phylogenetic comparative analysis, we show that evolution of longitudinal
 striped coloration is associated with prey size. Experiments showed that
 longitudinal stripes located at the anterior reduced lethal attacks (i.e.
 attacks directed to the anterior and centre), but this benefit was greater
 for shorter prey. Our comparative analysis revealed a negative association
 between stripe occurrence and body length, but no association between
 stripes and body width. Overall, our results suggest that the dazzle
 effect produced by stripes is more advantageous in shorter lizards than in
 longer ones, and that the error induced by stripes might be distributed
 along the axis parallel to the prey trajectory. We discuss reasons why
 dazzle coloration could be associated with evolution of smaller body size
 in animals.

title: Data from: How are different levels of knowledge about physical activity associated with physical activity behaviour in Australian adults?

description: People with knowledge of the benefits of physical activity tend to be more
 active; however, such knowledge is typically operationalized as a basic
 understanding that physical activity is ‘good’ for health. Therefore, the
 aim of this study was to investigate whether there are differences in how
 detailed a person’s knowledge is about the benefits of physical activity.
 Participants (N=615) completed an online survey to measure their current
 physical activity behaviour, as well as their level of knowledge of the
 benefits and risks of physical (in)activity. The majority of participants
 (99.6%) strongly agreed that physical activity is good for health, however
 on average, participants only identified 13.8 out of 22 diseases
 associated with physical inactivity and over half of participants (55.6%)
 could not identify how much physical activity is recommended for health
 benefits. Furthermore, 45% of the participants overestimated, 9%
 underestimated and 27% did not know the increased risk of disease
 resulting from inactivity as indicated by the Australian Department of
 Health. Participants were significantly more active when they correctly
 identified more diseases associated with physical inactivity and when they
 overestimated the risks associated with inactivity. Therefore, health
 promotion initiatives should increase knowledge of the types of diseases
 associated with inactivity. Low knowledge of physical activity guidelines
 suggest they should be promoted more, as this knowledge provides guidance
 on frequency, types and duration of physical activity needed for health.

title: Data from: Increasing the fish diversity of the Triassic faunas of Gondwana: a new redfieldiiform (Actinopterygii) from the Middle Triassic of Argentina and its palaeobiogeographical implications

description: A new actinopterygian, Calaichthys tehul gen. et sp. nov. is described on
 the basis of a few, well-preserved specimens from the Anisian Cerro de Las
 Cabras Formation, Cuyo Basin in Mendoza Province. The new genus shows a
 combination of primitive characters (e.g. deep posterior region of the
 maxilla contacting the preopercle, a suspensorium backwardly oriented) and
 more advanced characters (e.g. distally segmented fin rays,
 hemiheterocercal caudal fin) and is thus considered to be a ‘subholostean’
 fish. The new taxon is assigned to Redfieldiiformes on the basis of its
 single branchiostegal plate-like ray, a median gular plate, pectoral fins
 with stout, stiff, mainly non-segmented and distally branched fin rays,
 long and robust fringing fulcra in all fins, basal fulcra bordering both
 lobes of the caudal fin, and opposite dorsal and anal fins. Calaichthys is
 characterized by a combination of characters some of which are unique
 among redfieldiiforms (i.e. strongly ornamented but thin scales with a
 serrated posterior margin, smooth skull roof bones, extrascapulars with a
 bifid posterior margin, three suborbital bones, a hatchet-shaped
 preopercle, rectangular and slender opercle, deep mouth gape,
 entopterygoid and ectopterygoid with small pointed teeth disposed in
 several series, unornamented rostral bone, massive pectoral fins and
 delicate dorsal, pelvic and anal fins). Calaichthys provides novel
 information about the anatomy of redfieldiiforms, in particular in
 relation with the fins and associated scaly elements, as well as the scale
 morphology and their disposition over the body. Our work confirms for the
 first time that redfieldiiforms occur in South America. Redfieldiiforms
 seem to have originated in Gondwana and shown two diversity peaks: in the
 Anisian and the Carnian. Calaichthys is coeval with those redfieldiiforms
 of the Middle Triassic (Anisian) of Africa and Australia dwelling in
 ephemeral lakes.
