title: Data from: Substantial contribution of submicroscopical Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte carriage to the infectious reservoir in an area of seasonal transmission.

description: Background: Man to mosquito transmission of malaria depends on the
 presence of the sexual stage parasites, gametocytes, that often circulate
 at low densities. Gametocyte densities below the microscopical threshold
 of detection may be sufficient to infect mosquitoes but the importance of
 submicroscopical gametocyte carriage in different transmission settings is
 unknown. Methodology/Principal Findings: Membrane feeding experiments were
 carried out on 80 children below 14 years of age at the end of the wet
 season in an area of seasonal malaria transmission in Burkina Faso.
 Gametocytes were quantified by microscopy and by Pfs25-based quantitative
 nucleic acid sequence-based amplification assay (QT-NASBA). The
 children's infectiousness was determined by membrane feeding
 experiments in which a venous blood sample was offered to locally reared
 Anopheles mosquitoes. Gametocytes were detected in 30.0% (24/80) of the
 children by microscopy compared to 91.6% (65/71) by QT-NASBA
 (p&lt;0.001). We observed a strong association between QT-NASBA
 gametocyte density and infection rates (p = 0.007). Children with
 microscopically detectable gametocytes were more likely to be infectious
 (68.2% compared to 31.7% of carriers of submicroscopical gametocytes, p =
 0.001), and on average infected more mosquitoes (13.2% compared to 2.3%,
 p&lt;0.001). However, because of the high prevalence of
 submicroscopical gametocyte carriage in the study population, carriers of
 sub-microscopical gametocytes were responsible for 24.2% of the malaria
 transmission in this population. Conclusions/Significance:
 Submicroscopical gametocyte carriage is common in an area of seasonal
 transmission in Burkina Faso and contributes substantially to the human
 infectious reservoir. Submicroscopical gametocyte carriage should
 therefore be considered when implementing interventions that aim to reduce
 malaria transmission.

title: Data from: When and where does mortality occur in migratory birds? Direct evidence from long-term satellite tracking of raptors

description: 1. Information about when and where animals die is important to understand
 population regulation. In migratory animals, mortality might occur not
 only during the stationary periods (e.g. breeding and wintering) but also
 during the migration seasons. However, the relative importance of
 population limiting factors during different periods of the year remains
 poorly understood, and previous studies mainly relied on indirect
 evidence. 2. Here we provide direct evidence about when and where migrants
 die by identifying cases of confirmed and probable deaths in three species
 of long-distance migratory raptors tracked by satellite telemetry. 3. We
 show that mortality rate was about six times higher during migration
 seasons than during stationary periods. However, total mortality was
 surprisingly similar between periods, which can be explained by the fact
 that risky migration periods are shorter than safer stationary periods.
 Nevertheless, more than half of the annual mortality occurred during
 migration. We also found spatiotemporal patterns in mortality: spring
 mortality occurred mainly in Africa in association with the crossing of
 the Sahara desert, while most mortality during autumn took place in
 Europe. 4. Our results strongly suggest that events during the migration
 seasons have an important impact on the population dynamics of
 long-distance migrants. We speculate that mortality during spring
 migration may account for short-term annual variation in survival and
 population sizes, while mortality during autumn migration may be more
 important for long-term population regulation (through density dependent
 effects).

 In this file, we provide an overview of tracking histories of individual

 in mortality. Every row represents one individual. We provide tracking
 history which includes date animal was tagged, date tracking was
 terminated, classification for termination. Ospreys returning with
 non-functional transmitters were recaptured and fitted with new

title: Data from: ACC deaminase-producing rhizosphere bacteria modulate plant responses to flooding

description: Flooding events are predicted to increase over the coming decades, calling
 for a better understanding of plant responses to submergence. Specific
 root-associated microbes alter plant hormonal balance, affecting plant
 growth and stress tolerance. We hypothesized that the presence of such
 microbes may modulate plant responses to submergence. We tested whether
 root-associated bacteria producing the enzyme ACC
 (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate) deaminase affect submergence responses
 in Rumex palustris, a flood tolerant riparian plant. Ethylene is a key
 plant hormone regulating flood–associated acclimations and ACC deaminase
 activity of bacteria may decrease ethylene levels in the plant. Rumex
 palustris plants were inoculated with Pseudomonas putida UW4 or an
 isogenic mutant lacking ACC deaminase, and subsequently exposed to
 complete submergence. Submergence triggered ethylene-mediated responses,
 including an increase in leaf elongation and shoot fresh weight. Flood
 responses, including post-submergence ethylene production, were reduced in
 plants inoculated with ACC deaminase-producing wild type bacteria, as
 compared to plants inoculated with the ACC deaminase negative mutant.
 Synthesis. We demonstrate that root-associated bacteria can alter plant
 response to environmental stress by altering plant hormonal balance.
 Plant-microbes interactions may thus be an overseen driver of plant life
 history strategies that should be taken into account when assessing plant
 ecological adaptations such as abiotic stress resistance.

title: Data from: Resource distribution mediates social and mating behavior in a family living lizard

description: The distribution of resources should influence mate availability and the
 costs and benefits of pursuing different mating strategies. Where
 resources are dispersed, males may be constrained in the extent to which
 they can monopolize more than 1 partner, resulting in social and genetic
 monogamy. There is abundant correlational evidence that resource
 distribution influences social and mating systems, but experiments that
 demonstrate a causal link between these variables are relatively rare.
 Here, we used a replicated experiment involving 160 animals to examine how
 the distribution of a key resource, crevice sites used as nesting habitat,
 shapes social and mating behavior of a family living lizard, Liopholis
 whitii. The distribution of crevice sites had significant effects on
 several important aspects of the social and mating system. When habitat
 was aggregated, adults had larger home ranges and overlapped with more
 individuals of the opposite sex, resulting in increased opportunity for
 social polygyny. Aggressive female territoriality appears to impose upper
 limits on opportunities for polygyny by restricting female–female home
 range overlap. Despite this, males in aggregated habitats still formed
 polygynous social groups more often than males in dispersed habitat.
 Aggregated habitat also increased the opportunity for sexual selection,
 resulting in greater variance in male reproductive success and a steeper
 Bateman gradient compared with males occupying dispersed habitat. These
 effects were independent of the increase in social polygyny. Overall, our
 study is consistent with the hypothesis that habitat structure is
 fundamentally important to the evolution of social and mating systems.

title: Data from: Do picture-based charts overestimate visual acuity? Comparison of Kay Pictures, Lea Symbols, HOTV and Keeler logMAR charts with Sloan Letters in adults and children

description: Purpose: Children may be tested with a variety of visual acuity (VA)
 charts during their ophthalmic care and differences between charts can
 complicate the interpretation of VA measurements. This study compared VA
 measurements across four pediatric charts with Sloan letters and
 identified chart design features that contributed to inter-chart
 differences in VA. Methods: VA was determined for right eyes of 25 adults
 and 17 children (4-9 years of age) using Crowded Kay Pictures, Crowded
 linear Lea Symbols, Crowded Keeler logMAR, Crowded HOTV and Early
 Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) charts in focused and
 defocused (+1.00 DS optical blur) conditions. In a separate group of 25
 adults, we compared the VA from individual Kay Picture optotypes with
 uncrowded Landolt C VA measurements. Results: Crowded Kay Pictures
 generated significantly better VA measurements than all other charts in
 both adults and children (p &lt; 0.001; 0.15 to 0.30 logMAR). No
 significant differences were found between other charts in adult
 participants; children achieved significantly poorer VA measurements on
 the ETDRS chart compared with pediatric acuity tests. All Kay Pictures
 optotypes produced better VA (p &lt; 0.001), varying from -0.38 ± 0.13
 logMAR (apple) to -0.57 ± 0.10 logMAR (duck), than the reference Landolt C
 task (mean VA -0.19 ± 0.08 logMAR). Conclusion: Kay Pictures
 over-estimated VA in all participants. Variability between Kay Pictures
 optotypes suggests that shape cues aid in optotype determination. Other
 pediatric charts offer more comparable VA measures and should be used for
 children likely to progress to letter charts.

title: Data from: Significant genetic boundaries and spatial dynamics of giant pandas occupying fragmented habitat across southwest China

description: Understanding population history and genetic structure are key drivers of
 ecological research. Here we studied two highly fragmented and isolated
 populations (Xiaoxiangling and Daxiangling) of giant pandas (Ailuropoda
 melanoleuca) at the extreme southwestern edge of their distribution. This
 area also contains the Dadu River, national road 108 and various human
 infrastructure and development, providing an ideal region in which we can
 identify the effects of different barriers on animal movements. We used
 partial mitochondrial control region (mtDNA) and nine microsatellite loci
 (nuclear DNA) data derived from 192 fecal and one blood sample collected
 from the wild. We found 136 genotypes corresponding to 53 unique
 multilocus genotypes and eight unique control region haplotypes (653 bp).
 Significant genetic boundaries correlated spatially with the Dadu River
 (K=2). We estimate that a major divergence took place between these
 populations 26 000 YBP, at around the similar time the rock surface of
 valley bottom formed in Dadu River. The national road has resulted in
 further recent population differentiation (Pairwise FS on mtDNA and
 nuclear DNA) so that in effect, four smaller sub-populations now exist.
 Promisingly, we identified two possible first generation migrants and
 their migration paths, and recommended the immediate construction of a
 number of corridors. Fortunately, the Chinese government has accepted our
 advice and is now planning corridor construction.

title: Data from: Jumping without slipping: leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) possess special tarsal structures for jumping from smooth surfaces

description: Many hemipteran bugs can jump explosively from plant substrates, which can
 be very smooth. We therefore analysed the jumping performance of
 froghoppers (Philaenus spumarius, Aphrophoridae) and leafhoppers (Aphrodes
 bicinctus/makarovi, Cicadellidae) taking off from smooth (glass) and rough
 (sandpaper, 30 µm asperity size) surfaces. On glass, the propulsive hind
 legs of Philaenus froghoppers slipped, resulting in uncontrolled jumps
 with a fast forward spin, a steeper angle and only a quarter of the
 velocity compared with jumps from rough surfaces. By contrast, Aphrodes
 leafhoppers took off without their propulsive hind legs slipping, and
 reached low take-off angles and high velocities on both substrates. This
 difference in jumping ability from smooth surfaces can be explained not
 only by the lower acceleration of the long-legged leafhoppers, but also by
 the presence of 2–9 soft pad-like structures (platellae) on their hind
 tarsi, which are absent in froghoppers. High-speed videos of jumping
 showed that platellae contact the surface briefly (approx. 3 ms) during
 the acceleration phase. Friction force measurements on individual hind
 tarsi on glass revealed that at low sliding speeds, both pushing and
 pulling forces were small, and insufficient to explain the recorded jumps.
 Only when the tarsi were pushed with higher velocities did the contact
 area of the platellae increase markedly, and high friction forces were
 produced, consistent with the observed jumps. Our findings show that
 leafhoppers have special adhesive footpads for jumping from smooth
 surfaces, which achieve firm grip and rapid control of
 attachment/detachment by combining anisotropic friction with velocity
 dependence.

title: Data from: Real or fake? natural and artificial social stimuli elicit divergent behavioral and neural responses in mangrove rivulus, Kryptolebias marmoratus

description: Understanding how the brain processes social information and generates
 adaptive behavioural responses is a major goal in neuroscience. We
 examined behaviour and neural activity patterns in socially relevant brain
 nuclei of hermaphroditic mangrove rivulus fish (Kryptolebias marmoratus)
 provided with different types of social stimuli: stationary model
 opponent, regular mirror, non-reversing mirror and live opponent. We found
 that: i) individuals faced with a regular mirror were less willing to
 interact with, delivered fewer attacks towards, and switched their
 orientation relative to the opponent more frequently than fish exposed to
 a non-reversing mirror image or live opponent; ii) fighting with a regular
 mirror image caused higher expression of immediate-early genes (IEGs:
 egr-1 and c-Fos) in the teleost homologs of the basolateral amygdala and
 hippocampus but lower IEG expression in the preoptic area than fighting
 with a non-reversing mirror image or live opponent; iii) stationary models
 elicited the least behavioural and IEG responses among the four stimuli;
 vi) the non-reversing mirror image and live opponent drove similar
 behavioural and neurobiological responses. These results suggest that the
 various stimuli provide different types of information related to
 conspecific recognition in the context of aggressive contests, which
 ultimately drive different neurobiological responses.

title: Data from: High genotypic diversity and strong spatial structure in populations of Trifolium alpestre with low seed production

description: The studies on clonal plant populations indicate that the proportion
 between clonal and sexual reproduction may be highly variable, depending
 on the biological characteristics of species and the ecological conditions
 of habitats. We focused on the genotypic diversity of Trifolium alpestre
 populations in Estonia. We assayed the genetic diversity, spatial
 genotypic structure and diversity with the use of allozyme markers.
 Populations revealed high levels of genotypic diversity and showed strong
 spatial structure of MLGs. The values of genetic diversity were moderately
 high. Spatially aggregated, identical genotypes spread up to 15 meters
 along the linear transects and in 4 m2 plots indicate extensive clonal
 propagation in populations. However, numerous unique and small-sized
 clones in transects and quadrates reflect significant contribution from
 the sexual reproduction. The spatially and temporarily stochastic soil
 disturbances have evidently opened new opportunities for the successful
 sexual reproduction from the permanent soil seed bank and have thus
 avoided the losses of genotypic and genetic diversity. The seed production
 in all populations during the three study years was low, in average up to
 1.5-2.4 seeds per shoot. The almost total lack of seed set from all 57
 bagged flower heads of genets grown in a common garden indicates that T.
 alpestre needs pollinators for the seed production.
description: Allozyme data of
 Trifolium alpestre populationsTo calculate genetic and
 genotypic diversity indices and distinguish genotypes from five Estonian
 Trifolium alpestre (sub)populations allozyme markers were used. Five
 enzymes (AAT, EST, LAP, PRX, SOD) provided altogether seven polymorphic
 loci with sufficiently distinct allozyme bands. Data contained in this
 file are prepared for population genetic analysis using program GenAlex.

title: Data from: Biodiversity in species, traits and structure determines carbon stocks and uptake in tropical forests

description: Impacts of climate change require that society urgently develops ways to
 reduce amounts of carbon in the atmosphere. Tropical forests present an
 important opportunity, as they take up and store large amounts of carbon.
 It is often suggested that forests with high biodiversity have large
 stocks and high rates of carbon uptake. Evidence is, however, scattered
 across geographic areas and scales, and it remains unclear whether
 biodiversity is just a co‐benefit or also a requirement for the
 maintenance of carbon stocks and uptake. Here, we perform a quantitative
 review of empirical studies that analyzed the relationships between plant
 biodiversity attributes and carbon stocks and carbon uptake in tropical
 forests. Our results show that biodiversity attributes related to species,
 traits or structure significantly affect carbon stocks or uptake in 64% of
 the evaluated relationships. Average vegetation attributes (community‐mean
 traits and structural attributes) are more important for carbon stocks,
 whereas variability in vegetation attributes (i.e., taxonomic diversity)
 is important for both carbon stocks and uptake. Thus, different attributes
 of biodiversity have complementary effects on carbon stocks and uptake.
 These biodiversity effects tend to be more often significant in mature
 forests at broad spatial scales than in disturbed forests at local spatial
 scales. Biodiversity effects are also more often significant when
 confounding variables are not included in the analyses, highlighting the
 importance of performing a comprehensive analysis that adequately accounts
 for environmental drivers. In summary, biodiversity is not only a
 co‐benefit, but also a requirement for short‐ and long‐term maintenance of
 carbon stocks and enhancement of uptake. Climate change policies should
 therefore include the maintenance of multiple attributes of biodiversity
 as an essential requirement to achieve long‐term climate change mitigation
 goals.
