title: Data from: Validity of bioelectrical impedance analysis in predicting total body water and adiposity among Senegalese school-aged children

description: Introduction: Childhood obesity is currently a serious public health
 challenge in developing countries. Therefore, an accurate assessment of
 adiposity is required. The objective of this study was to validate BIA
 prediction equations for the assessment of total body water and adiposity
 or percentage of body fat for the first time in Senegalese school-aged
 children. Methods: One-hundred-fifty-one (151) pupils who were 8-11 years
 old were randomly selected from four public schools in Dakar. The body
 composition measured by deuterium dilution method (DDM) was used as the
 reference method and compared to that predicted by BIA using a
 multi-frequency analyser. Stepwise backward multiple linear regression was
 performed to calculate TBW and %BF in a subsample, which were then
 validated it in the rest of the sample. The Bland and Altman approach was
 used to assess the agreement between the two methods (bias and limits of
 agreement). Results: FFM was higher in boys (24.6±6.9 kg) compared to
 girls (21.2±3.3 kg; P&lt;0.001), and %BF was lower in boys (5.1±4.6
 kg) compared to girls (5.3±3.8 kg; P&lt;0.05). Overall, 11.3% of
 children were obese (%BF ≥25% in boys, and ≥30% in girls) and 4.6% were
 overweight/obese according to their BMI-z score (&gt;+1). The
 equations developed were as follows: TBW=0.376(Height²/Z50)-0.470 (sex)
 +0.076(weight) +0.065(height)-2.28. %BF= -1.10(height²/Z50)
 +3.14(sex)+1.57(weight)-4.347. These specific equations showed good
 precision and a low and non-significant mean bias (0.11 kg, P=0.279; and
 0.19 kg, P=0.764) for TBW and %BF, respectively. Conclusion: The newly
 developed equations can be used as an accurate and alternative tool for
 screening for obesity among African school-aged children in various
 settings

title: Data from: Inbreeding depression is high in a self-incompatible perennial herb population but absent in a self-compatible population showing mixed mating

description: Background: High inbreeding depression is thought to be one of the major
 factors preventing evolutionary transitions in hermaphroditic plants from
 self-incompatibility (SI) and outcrossing toward self-compatibility (SC)
 and selfing. However, when selfing does evolve, inbreeding depression can
 be quickly purged, allowing the evolution of complete self-fertilization.
 In contrast, populations that show intermediate selfing rates (a mixed
 mating system) typically show levels of inbreeding depression similar to
 those in outcrossing species, suggesting that selection against inbreeding
 might be responsible for preventing the transition towards complete
 self-fertilization. By implication, crosses among populations should
 reveal patterns of heterosis for mixed-mating populations that are similar
 to those expected for outcrossing populations. Methodology: Using
 hand-pollination crosses, we compared levels of inbreeding depression and
 heterosis between populations of Linaria cavanillesii (Plantaginaceae), a
 perennial herb showing contrasting mating systems. Main Results: The SI
 population showed high inbreeding depression, whereas the SC population
 displaying mixed mating showed no inbreeding depression. In contrast, we
 found that heterosis based on between-population crosses was similar for
 SI and SC populations. Conclusions: Our results are consistent with the
 rapid purging of inbreeding depression in the derived SC population,
 despite the persistence of mixed mating. However, the maintenance of
 outcrossing after a transition to SC is inconsistent with the prediction
 that populations that have purged their inbreeding depression should
 evolve towards complete selfing, suggesting that the transition to SC in
 L. cavanillesii has been recent. SC in L. cavanillesii thus exemplify a
 situation in which the mating system is likely not at an equilibrium with
 inbreeding depression.

title: Data from: Gray matter volume modifications in migraine: a cross-sectional and longitudinal study

description: Objective. To explore cross-sectional and longitudinal gray matter (GM)
 volume changes in migraine patients and their association with patients’
 clinical characteristics and disease activity. Methods. Brain T2-weighted
 and 3D T1-weighted scans were acquired from 73 episodic migraineurs and 46
 age- and sex-matched non-migraine controls at baseline. Twenty-four
 migraineurs and 25 controls agreed to be re-examined after a mean
 follow-up of 4 years. Using a general linear model and SPM12, a
 whole-brain analysis was performed to assess GM volume modifications.
 Results. At baseline, compared to controls, migraine patients showed lower
 cerebellar GM volume and higher volume of regions of the fronto-temporal
 lobes. At follow-up, migraineurs were significantly older than controls.
 Over the follow-up, migraineurs developed an increased volume of
 fronto-temporo-parietal regions, which was more prominent in patients with
 a higher baseline disease activity: long disease duration and high attack
 frequency. Migraineurs also developed decreased GM volume of visual areas,
 which was related to higher pain severity. Patients with an increased
 attack frequency at follow-up experienced both increased and decreased
 volume of nociceptive regions. In migraineurs, reduced GM volume of
 extrastriate visual areas during the follow-up was significantly
 correlated to baseline disease activity: shorter disease duration and
 lower attack frequency. Conclusion. In this cohort, the migraine brain
 changes dynamically over time and different pathophysiological mechanisms
 can occur in response to patients’ disease severity. The interaction
 between predisposing brain traits and experience-dependent responses might
 vary across different nociceptive and visual areas, thus leading to
 distinct patterns of longitudinal GM volume changes.

title: Data from: A taxonomic revision of Schlechteranthus subgenus microphyllus (Ruschieae; Aizoaceae)

description: Schlechteranthus subgenus Microphyllus is a recently erected subgenus,
 which is revised here for the first time. The subgenus is comprised of
 nine succulent species, including a new species S. parvus, and are endemic
 to the arid part of the Greater Cape Floristic Region. Schlechteranthus
 subgenus Microphyllus can be distinguished from subgenus Schlechteranthus
 by the smaller leaves (3.5-5.0 × 4-6 mm vs. 5-30 × 3.5-9.0 mm) and smaller
 capsules (2-6 × 2-6 mm vs. 6-11 × 4-9 mm), with seven to nine locules and
 small closing bodies that block one third of the locule (vs. 10 to 12
 locules and closing bodies that block three quarters of the locule).
 Differences in leaf shape, degree of fusion, and arrangement, as well as
 inflorescence and spine structure were identified as important characters
 in distinguishing species in the subgenus. Schlechteranthus parvus, S.
 pungens, S. spinescens, and S. stylosus all share the presence of spines,
 caducous bracteoles, and cymose inflorescences. Maps illustrating species
 richness hotspots within a quarter degree square were produced for the
 genus and subgenera respectively. A key to the subgenera in
 Schlechteranthus and a comprehensive taxonomic treatment of subgenus
 Microphyllus is presented, including a key to the species, descriptions,
 figures illustrating diagnostic characters and distribution maps.

title: Data from: Pearls & Oy-sters: challenging diagnosis of Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker disease: clinical and imaging findings

description: PEARLS &gt;Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease (GSS) is a rare
 prion disease characterized by cerebellar ataxia with progressive
 cognitive decline. &gt;GSS is caused by a mutation within the prion
 protein gene (PRNP), which commonly exhibits autosomal dominant
 inheritance pattern. However, a significant portion of previously reported
 cases showed no family history of the disease, and GSS may also occur
 through de novo mutation of PRNP. OY-STERS &gt;GSS is clinically
 heterogeneous and has no characteristic features on imaging. GSS could be
 considered in patients experiencing unexplained ataxia and subsequent
 cognitive decline even in those without a family history of the disease.

title: Data from: Predator size divergence depends on community context

description: Body size is a multi-functional trait related to various fitness
 components, but the relative importance of different selection pressures
 are seldom resolved. In Carabus japonicus beetles, of which the larvae
 exclusively prey on earthworms, adult body size is related to the
 presence/absence of a larger congener and habitat temperature. In
 sympatry, C. japonicus consistently exhibits smaller body size which is
 effective for avoiding interspecific mating, but in allopatry, it shows
 size variation unrelated to temperature. Here, we show that this
 predator-size variation is attributed to prey-size variation, associated
 with high phylogenetic diversity in earthworm communities. In allopatry,
 the predator size was larger where larger prey occurred. Larger adult size
 may have been selected because larger females produce larger larvae, which
 can subdue larger prey. Thus, in the absence of a larger congener,
 variation in prey body size had a pronounced effect on geographic body
 size divergence in C. japonicus.

title: Data from: When earwig mothers do not care to share: parent-offspring competition and the evolution of family life

description: 1. Kin competition often reduces – and sometimes entirely negates – the
 benefits of cooperation among relatives, and hence is often regarded as
 central process in social evolution. Surprisingly, however, our
 understanding of the role of kin competition in the evolution of family
 life remains fragmentary, despite the close scrutiny it received in
 studies on sibling rivarly. This is because much less attention has been
 given to local competition between parents and their offspring, and its
 potential impact on the early evolution of parental care and family life.
 2. Here, we examined mother-offspring competition over food access in the
 European earwig Forficula auricularia, an insect with facultative family
 life. Specifically, we (i) raised earwig offspring under food limitation
 either together with or without their mother, and then (ii) tested whether
 and how the – potentially competitive – weight gains of mothers and
 offspring during family life affected the offsprings’ survival rate and
 morphology, or the future reproductive investment of their mother. 3. In
 line with a mother-offspring competition over food access, we showed that
 high maternal weight gains during family life reduced the survival
 prospects of maternally tended offspring, while they increased maternal
 investment into second clutch production (but not the body size of the
 surviving offspring). Conversely, high offspring weight gains generally
 increased the offsprings’ survival, particularly when they were together
 with their mother. Intriguingly, mothers that had exhibited a low initial
 weight showed especially high weight gains. 4. Overall, our results
 demonstrate that maternal presence under food restriction triggered a
 local competition between mothers and their offspring. This competition
 limited offspring survival, but allowed mothers to increase their
 investment into future reproduction and/or to maintain their current body
 condition. On a general level, our findings reveal that local competition
 between parents and their offspring can counteract the benefits of
 (facultative) parental care, and may thus impede the evolution of family
 life in resource-poor environments.

title: Data from: Environmental DNA analysis of river herring in Chesapeake Bay: a powerful tool for monitoring threatened keystone species

description: Environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling has emerged as a powerful tool to detect
 and quantify species abundance in aquatic environments. However,
 relatively few studies have compared the performance of eDNA-based
 abundance estimates to traditional catch or survey approaches in the
 field. Here, we have developed and field-tested a qPCR assay to detect
 eDNA from alewife and blueback herring (collectively known as ‘river
 herring’), comparing eDNA-based presence and abundance data to traditional
 methods of quantification (ichthyoplankton sampling and adult
 observations). Overall, the qPCR assay showed very high target specificity
 in lab trials, and was successful in detecting river herring for 11/12
 Chesapeake Bay tributaries in spring 2015 and 2016, with 106 out of 445
 samples exhibiting positive eDNA hits. We found a strong correlation
 between eDNA abundance and ichthyoplankton count data (Spearman’s Rho =
 0.52), and Phi-tests (correlation of presence/absence data) showed higher
 correlation between eDNA and ichthyoplankton data (Phi = 0.45) than adult
 data (Phi = 0.35). Detection probability was significantly lower on
 western vs. eastern shore tributaries of Chesapeake Bay, and blueback
 herring and alewife were more likely detected on the western and eastern
 shores, respectively. Temporal patterns of eDNA abundance over the spring
 spawning season revealed that alewife were present in high abundances
 weeks ahead of blueback herring, which aligns with known differences in
 spawning behavior of the species. In summary, the eDNA abundance data
 corresponded well to other field methods and has great potential to assist
 future monitoring efforts of river herring abundance and habitat use.

title: Data from: A Mesoamerican origin of cherimoya (Annona cherimola Mill.). Implications for the conservation of plant genetic resources

description: Knowledge on the structure and distribution of genetic diversity is a key
 aspect in order to plan and execute an efficient conservation and
 utilization of the genetic resources of any crop as well as for
 determining historical demographic inferences. In this work, a large data
 set of 1765 accessions of cherimoya (Annona cherimola Mill, Annonaceae),
 an underutilized fruit tree crop native to the neotropics and used as a
 food source by pre-Columbian cultures, was collected from 6 different
 countries across the American continent and amplified with 9 highly
 informative microsatellite markers. The structure analyses, fine
 representation of the genetic diversity and an ABC approach suggest a
 Mesoamerican origin of the crop, contrary to previous reports, with clear
 implications for the dispersion of plant germplasm between Central and
 South America in pre-Columbian times. These results together with the
 potential distribution of the species in a climatic change context using
 two different climate models provide new insights for the history and
 conservation of extant genetic resources of cherimoya that can be applied
 to other currently underutilized woody perennial crops.

title: Data from: Teruelia diezii gen. et sp. nov.: an early polysporangiophyte from the Lower Devonian of the Iberian Peninsula

description: A new basal land plant, Teruelia diezii gen. et sp. nov., is described
 from the shallow-water marine deposits of the Lower Devonian
 (Lochkovian–Pragian) Nogueras Formation of the Iberian Peninsula (north
 Gondwana palaeocontinent). Teruelia is preserved as a compression fossil
 and consists of isotomously branched, robust stems terminated in large,
 fusiform, twisted sporangia. This morphology suggests that Teruelia is
 very probably equivalent to Aglaophyton, a permineralized early
 polysporangiophyte known up to now only from the Lower Devonian (early
 Pragian to ?earliest Emsian) Rhynie Chert in Scotland (Laurussia
 palaeocontinent), which represents an early terrestrial hot-spring
 ecosystem. Accepted phylogenies identify Aglaophyton as sister to vascular
 plants. Our phylogeny-based results identify the Aglaophyton/Teruelia
 biological entity (i.e. Aglaophyton anatomical characters plus Teruelia
 external morphology) as the most direct vascular plant precursor. It shows
 that at least one Rhynie Chert type plant had a much wider distribution
 than previously known and suggests that Aglaophyton was not restricted to
 hydrothermal environments, unlike other Rhynie Chert plants.

title: Data from: Female mosquitoes disperse further when they develop under predation risk

description: Predation is one of the strongest selective forces in nature. Organisms
 characterized by a complex life cycle, undergoing an ontogenetic niche
 shift, can reduce predation risk on natal stages by metamorphosing
 earlier. Yet, this anti-predatory response may incur numerous
 life-history-related costs. Interestingly, the consequence of larval
 predation risk on adult dispersal, a key trait dictating the persistence
 of spatially-structured populations, is largely understudied. Here, we
 explored the effect of larval predation risk on the life-history and
 dispersal characteristics of female adults in the mosquito Culex pipiens.
 As predicted, mosquito larvae reared in the presence of a caged
 larvivorous-fish metamorphosed earlier, while also suffering from reduced
 survival. Despite this reduction in development time, the body size of
 emerging females was larger, implying that more resources were allocated
 to increase the growth rate, probably at the expense of reduced
 maintenance and storage. This shift in energy allocation translated into
 decreased pupa and adult survival. Remarkably, the respective dispersal
 distance of these larger bodied females was greater. We suggest that the
 increase in dispersal distance allows these females to cover larger areas,
 while searching for oviposition sites that are safer than their natal
 aquatic habitat. Exploring the effects of larval conditions on adult
 dispersal is central for understanding the distribution of organisms with
 a complex life cycle in spatially heterogeneous environments, and
 specifically for disease transmission by mosquitoes.
