title: Data from: Use of an exotic host plant reduces viral burden in a native insect herbivore

description: Incorporation of exotic plants into the diets of native herbivores is a
 common phenomenon, influencing interactions with natural enemies and
 providing insight into the tritrophic costs and benefits of dietary
 expansion. We evaluated how use of an exotic plant, Plantago lanceolata,
 impacted immune performance, development, and susceptibility to pathogen
 infection in the neotropical herbivore Anartia jatrophae (Lepidoptera:
 Nymphalidae). Caterpillars were reared on P. lanceolata or a native plant,
 Bacopa monnieri, and experimentally infected with a pathogenic virus,
 Junonia coenia densovirus. We found that virus-challenged herbivores
 exhibited higher survival rates and lower viral burdens when reared on P.
 lanceolata compared to B. monnieri, though immune performance and
 development time were largely similar on the two plants. These findings
 reveal that use of an exotic plant can impact the vulnerability of a
 native herbivore to pathogen infection, suggesting diet-mediated
 protection against disease as a potential mechanism facilitating the
 incorporation of novel resources.

title: Dataset: N-15 tracer study in coastal marshes of Barataria Bay, LA (v.0.10)

description: The application of isotopic tracers and the subsequent analysis of
 nitrogen isotope ratios are commonly used to track the spatial and
 temporal fate of nutrients in both aquatic and terrestrial systems. A
 substantial amount of work has been completed to determine the nitrogen
 (N) removal capacity of agricultural, municipal wastewater, and storm
 water treatment wetlands. However, the fate of N enrichment on varying
 marsh systems is still not completely understood or predictable. To
 evaluate relationships between nutrients and plant responses,
 biogeochemical processes, and nutrient retention and export across varying
 ecotomes, a full factorial nutrient and sediment field study was
 implemented in early May 2019, consisting of three different marshes
 either dominated by Sagittaria lancifolia, Spartina patens, or
 Schoenoplectus americanus. Each system was labeled with the stable isotope
 Nitrogen-15 (N15) early in the growing season (June 15, 2019) by injecting
 calcium nitrate (10 atom % N15) in three installments once per day at
 mid-tide so as to limit loss of the tracer downward through percolation. A
 total of 250 mL of label was injected at 10 cm depth for a total of 1.2 g
 N15 per plot. Data collection occurred on day 5, 15, and 30 following last
 injection, consisting of species richness and abundance, aboveground
 biomass, belowground biomass, and soil. Plant tissues and soil were
 examined to determine the processing and fate of dissolved NO3- in these
 plant communities.

title: Data from: Functionally redundant multimodal predator cues elicit changes in prey foraging behavior

description: Many prey species can assess the risk of predation from information
 acquired through different sensory systems. For many animals, this
 information is detected with sensory organs specialized for visual (sight)
 or chemical (smell or taste) stimuli. It is unclear, however, whether
 information acquired through multiple sensory systems is functionally
 redundant or interchangeable, especially if the message is the same. Here
 we assess prey response to unimodal visual and chemical cues as well as
 multimodal (visual + chemical) cues. We specifically test if a foraging
 individual shows a stronger behavioral response to risk when they can
 perceive that risk through multimodal versus unimodal cues.  To
 do this, we measured the functional response (prey abundance-foraging rate
 relationship) of Tibellus oblongus spiders foraging on midges while
 exposing them to visual stimuli, chemical stimuli, or a combination of
 both visual and chemical stimuli from potential predators. We then
 determined if the spider’s functional response for the multimodal
 treatment differed more strongly from a control treatment than from either
 unimodal treatment. We found that under any simulated predation risk
 (multimodal and both unimodal), T. oblongus spiders showed longer handling
 times than in control groups without risk. However, we saw no elevated
 anti-predator response in the multimodal treatment, suggesting that
 information from visual and chemical modalities is interchangeable and
 sufficient to indicate reliably predation risk.

title: Data from: Anthropogenic noise impairs cooperation in bottlenose dolphins

description: Understanding the impact of human disturbance on wildlife populations is
 of societal importance, with anthropogenic noise known to impact a range
 of taxa, including mammals, birds, fish, and invertebrates. While animals
 are known to use acoustic and other behavioural mechanisms to compensate
 for increasing noise at the individual level, our understanding of how
 noise impacts social animals working together remains limited. Here, we
 investigated the effect of noise on coordination between two bottlenose
 dolphins performing a cooperative task. We previously demonstrated that
 the dolphin dyad can use whistles to coordinate their
 behaviour, working together with extreme precision. By equipping
 each dolphin with a sound-and-movement recording tag (DTAG-3) and exposing
 them to increasing levels of anthropogenic noise, we show that both
 dolphins nearly doubled their whistle durations and increased whistle
 amplitude in response to increasing noise. While these acoustic
 compensatory mechanisms are the same as those frequently used by wild
 cetaceans, they were insufficient to overcome the effect of noise on
 behavioural coordination. Indeed, cooperative task success decreased in
 the presence of noise, dropping from 85% during ambient noise control
 trials to 62.5% during the highest noise exposure. To our knowledge, this
 is the first study to demonstrate in any non-human species that noise
 impairs communication between conspecifics performing a cooperative task.
 Cooperation facilitates vital functions across many taxa and our findings
 highlight the need to account for the impact of disturbance on
 functionally important group tasks in wild animal populations.

title: Data and code from: Shifting social-ecological fire regimes explain increasing structure loss from Western wildfires

description: Higuera, P.E., M.C. Cook, J.K. Balch, E.N. Stavros, A.L. Mahood, and L.A.
 St. Denis. 2023. Shifting social-ecological fire regimes explain
 increasing structure loss from Western wildfires. PNAS Nexus 2: In Press.
 Structure loss is an acute, costly impact of the wildfire crisis in the
 western United States (“West”), motivating the need to understand recent
 trends and causes. We document a 246% rise in West-wide structure loss
 from wildfires between 1999–2009 and 2010–2020, driven strongly by events
 in 2017, 2018, and 2020. Increased structure loss was not due to increased
 area burned alone. Wildfires became significantly more destructive, with a
 160% higher structure loss rate (loss/kha burned) over the past decade.
 Structure loss was driven primarily by wildfires from unplanned
 human-related ignitions (e.g. backyard burning, power lines, etc.), which
 accounted for 76% of all structure loss and resulted in 10 times more
 structures destroyed per unit area burned compared to lightning-ignited
 fires. Annual structure loss was well explained by area burned from
 human-related ignitions, while decadal structure loss was explained by
 state-level structure abundance in flammable vegetation. Both predictors
 increased over recent decades and likely interacted with increased fuel
 aridity to drive structure-loss trends. While states are diverse in
 patterns and trends, nearly all experienced more burning from
 human-related ignitions and/or higher structure loss rates, particularly
 California, Washington, and Oregon. Our findings highlight how fire
 regimes – characteristics of fire over space and time – are fundamentally
 social-ecological phenomena. By resolving the diversity of Western fire
 regimes, our work informs regionally appropriate mitigation and adaptation
 strategies. With millions of structures with high fire risk, reducing
 human-related ignitions and rethinking how we build are critical for
 preventing future wildfire disasters.

title: Data from: One model to rule them all: Identifying priority bat habitats from multi‐species habitat suitability models

description: Bats are important components of global ecosystems, providing essential
 ecosystem services with substantial economic benefit. Yet North American
 bat populations have been negatively affected by numerous factors (e.g.,
 disease, habitat loss, and wind energy development) with compounding
 effects. Bats use habitats at a variety of scales, from small, isolated
 patches to large, contiguous corridors. Landscape‐level research is
 necessary to identify important habitats, patches, and corridors to
 strategically target management interventions. We created habitat
 suitability models (HSMs) for hoary bats (Lasiurus cinereus), eastern red
 bats (L. borealis), and tri‐colored bats (Perimyotis subflavus) across
 Illinois, USA using species-specific landscape and climate variables. With
 the 3 models from this study and a previously published HSM for Indiana
 bats (Myotis sodalis), we stacked binary HSMs, thereby identifying
 priority conservation areas across Illinois. Species exhibited different
 distributional patterns and habitat preferences across Illinois.
 Multi‐species HSMs highlight high quality habitat (i.e., ecologically
 important habitat that provides preferred resources for roosting,
 foraging, and raising young) in southern Illinois and along river riparian
 areas. This approach identified priority conservation areas mainly
 following hydrologic zones, which allows managers to strategically target
 restoration and conservation measures, invest funds in habitat likely to
 have high return‐on‐investment, and assist with decisions that affect bats
 (e.g., siting wind turbines and purchasing mitigation lands).

title: Raw and analyzed data for manuscript "Interaction of a radical scavenger from UV-protective coatings with air plasma-pretreated wood surfaces"

description: Abstract

Plasma treatment is being investigated to enhance the surface reactivity of wood substrates prior to coating application; however, its impact on UV-protective systems containing radical-scavenging additives remains insufficiently understood. In this study, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was employed to investigate chemical modifications induced by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma treatment on spruce and beech wood surfaces and to assess their interaction with solvent-based UV-protective coatings. Emphasis was placed on coatings (specifically Beltop) containing the hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS) Tinuvin® 292. While previous work indicated a slight deterioration in coating performance on plasma-treated spruce, the present XPS analysis provides molecular-level insight into this behavior. For Beltop-coated spruce, plasma pretreatment led to less favorable oxygen bonding ratios, suggesting reduced mobility of the sebacate ester backbone. To isolate HALS-related effects, a concentrated Tinuvin 292 model system was analyzed, revealing wood-species-dependent responses to plasma oxidation. Spruce surfaces, characterized by higher guaiacyl lignin content, exhibited more pronounced oxidation than beech. Overall, the results indicate that plasma treatment can alter surface chemistry in ways that may compromise the effectiveness of HALS-based UV protection, suggesting that plasma pretreatment is not universally beneficial for such coating systems.

title: Dances with wolves: the demographic consequence of asymmetric competition and intraguild predation in a native-invasive skink system

description: 1. Currently, we lack enough knowledge to fully explain how the impacts of
 species invasion on native communities are attributed to multifaceted,
 individual-based behavioral outcomes. 2. Here, we illustrate the long-term
 population dynamics of the native long-tailed sun skink (Eutropis
 longicaudata) before and after the invasion of the common sun skink
 (Eutropis multifasciata). We conducted diet investigation, morphological
 measurement, and a series of behavioral experiments both in the field and
 laboratory. We explained how the impacts of the invasive skink on the
 native skink can cascade towards the population level based on these
 individual-level behavioral data. 3. We present evidence of competition
 exclusion of the native skink population resulting from the invasion of
 the common sun skink. The drastic decline found in the native skink
 population was largely accounted for by low recruitment, as shown by the
 decrease in its clutch numbers correspondingly. 4. We also found dominance
 of the invasive skink in both exploitation competition and intraguild
 predation. Considering the highly overlapping morphological and dietary
 niches between the two species, our findings imply that the native skink
 has undergone strong food competition and predation pressure on its eggs
 and juveniles. 5. Interestingly, the native skink started to display
 parental care behavior two years after the invasion event, and its clutch
 survival rate has recovered since then. The shift in parental care
 behavior may help the native skink cope with this new predation pressure
 from the invasive skink. 6. Overall, the two competitive skinks showed low
 chances of coexisting. The negative population growth of this native skink
 species may be primarily derived from poor reproductive performance, given
 a sharp decline in its clutch numbers and its inferiority in exploitation
 competition, despite rebounding clutch survival rates.

title: Non-random mating within an island rookery of Hawaiian hawksbill turtles: demographic discontinuity at a small coastline scale

description: Hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) from the Hawaiian
 archipelago form a small and genetically isolated population, consisting
 of only a few tens of individuals breeding annually. Most females nest on
 the island of Hawai’i, but little is known about the demographics of this
 rookery. This study used genetic relatedness, inferred from 135
 microhaplotype markers, to determine breeding sex-ratios, estimate female
 nesting frequency, and assess relationships between individuals nesting on
 different beaches. Samples were collected during the 2017 nesting season
 and final data included 13 nesting females and 1,002 unhatched embryos,
 salvaged from 41 nests, of which 13 had no observed mother. Results show
 that most females used a single nesting beach laying 1–5 nests each. From
 female and offspring alleles the paternal genotypes of 12 breeding males
 were reconstructed and many showed high relatedness to their mates.
 Pairwise relatedness of offspring revealed one instance of polygyny but
 otherwise suggest a 1:1 breeding-sex ratio. Relatedness analysis and
 spatial-autocorrelation of genotypes indicate non-random mating among
 complexes of nesting beaches, for both sexes, suggesting strong natal
 philopatry. Nesting complexes also showed unique patterns of inbreeding
 across loci, further indicating that Hawaiian hawksbill turtles have
 demographically discontinuous nesting populations on a fine spatial scale.

title: Data for: Global change risks a threatened species due to alteration of predator-prey dynamics

description: Datasets generated and analyzed within the study area located in the
 Côte-Nord region of Québec, Canada. To identify species-specific
 movement rules that were implemented in the IBM, we used empirical data
 collected for caribou, moose, and wolves over the study area.
 "DataFinal_SSF_Species_season.csv" (6 files) were used to
 develop Step Selection Functions for caribou, moose, and wolves to assess
 habitat selection. SSFs were estimated from data for the real animals and
 provide the relative probability of selection among a set of options based
 on the comparison of observed and random steps (i.e., the linear segment
 between successive locations at 8-h interval) using conditional logistic
 regression (Fortin et al. 2005). Details on GPS data and SSF models can be
 found in the article in Appendix S1: Section S2.  SSFs compare
 resource characteristics of observed (scored 1) and random (scored 0)
 locations presented in column case. Habitat characteristics (columns
 conif_dense, conif_open, mixed, open, other, fire010, fire1020, fire20,
 cut010, cut1020, cut20) was extracted from the Canadian National Forest
 Inventory (NFI) forest cover maps. Land cover maps were updated every year
 by adding roads, recent (&lt;5 years), regenerating (6–20 years) and
 old (21–50 years) cutblocks/fires based on information provided annually
 by local forestry companies and from the Canadian National Fire Database
 (CNFDB).  Columns dist0_0.25, dist0.25_0.50, dist0.5_1.00,
 dist1.00_1.5, and dist1.5 are a set of 5 dichotomous covariables
 representing the classes of distance to the nearest road (i.e., 1) ≤250 m,
 2) 251–500 m, 3) 501–1000 m, 4) 1001–1500 m and 5) &gt;1500 m as the
 reference category). "DataFinal_IBM_Caribou_Season.csv" (2
 files) corresponded to the IBM outputs with the proportion of caribou
 agent killed (Prop.Caribou_killed, number of caribou killed/total number
 of caribou), in function of the different scenarios
 (CC,LUC,Year,Season,Scenario) and the response (Behavioral-Numerical
 responses or Behavioral response). The columns Prop.CutsRoads, Prop.Fire,
 Prop.Broadleaf, Homogenization, Isolation correspond to the different
 variable we tested to predict the cumulative impact of anthropogenic
 disturbance and climate change. To explore how changes in forest structure
 and composition impacted the proportion of caribou killed, we used the
 proportion of areas disturbed by cuts and roads (Prop.CutsRoads), burned
 areas (Prop.Fire), and landscape characteristics, such as the proportion
 of deciduous vegetation (Prop.Broadleaf), landscape homogenization
 (Homogenization) and isolation (Isolation) of mature conifer stands.
