title: Data from: The burrow behavior and influenced factors of a prairie subterranean zokor (Myospalax psilurus)

description: r (Myospalax psilurus) is a dominant rodent distributed in the meadow
 steppe of Inner Mongolia in northern China. Due to long history of
 evolution in subterranean environment, the zokor has an adaptive behavior:
 sealing burrow entrances. When a burrow is damaged, exposed entrances
 appear, and within a relatively short time the zokor would be active in
 sealing the entrances to reduce risks to its survival. In general, it is
 thought that zokors avoid light and wind, which is consistent with their
 behavior of sealing burrow entrances. However, direct evidence from field
 experimental research has been lacking. This study set up 68 field
 sampling points in a meadow steppe in Inner Mongolia from August to
 September, 2014, and used a wind-light isolator to study the effects of
 wind and light factors on zokor burrow entrance sealing behavior. The
 results showed that there were no significant correlations between wind or
 light factors and the frequency of zokor burrow entrance sealing.
 Therefore, wind and light factors are not direct factors associated with
 zokors actively sealing burrow entrances.
description: DATA and
 RecordThis is our experimental
 data record of the sealing burrow behavior of the zokor. The zokors, the
 subjects of our study, were divided into 17 groups with 4 treatments in
 each group. The treatments were as follows: Wind and Light, No wind and
 light, Wind and No light, No wind and No light. We recorded each treatment
 17 times, including the date, time, location, and observed results. The
 data were analyzed and the experimental results were
 obtained.

title: Data from: Bushmeat hunting changes regeneration of African rainforests

description: To assess ecological consequences of bushmeat hunting in African lowland
 rainforests, we compared paired sites, with high and low hunting pressure,
 in three areas of southeastern Nigeria. In hunted sites, populations of
 important seed dispersers—both small and large primates (including the
 Cross River gorilla, Gorilla gorilla diehli)—were drastically reduced.
 Large rodents were more abundant in hunted sites, even though they are
 hunted. Hunted and protected sites had similar mature tree communities
 dominated by primate-dispersed species. In protected sites, seedling
 communities were similar in composition to the mature trees, but in hunted
 sites species with other dispersal modes dominated among seedlings.
 Seedlings emerging 1 year after clearing of all vegetation in experimental
 plots showed a similar pattern to the standing seedlings. This study thus
 verifies the transforming effects of bushmeat hunting on plant communities
 of tropical forests and is one of the first studies to do so for the
 African continent.

title: Data from: Inner conflict in patients receiving oral anti-cancer agents: a qualitative study

description: Objectives: To explore the experiences of patients receiving oral
 anticancer agents. Design: A qualitative study using semistructured
 interviews with a grounded theory approach. Setting: A university hospital
 in Japan. Participants :14 patients with gastric cancer who managed their
 cancer with oral anticancer agents. Results: Patients with cancer
 experienced inner conflict between rational belief and emotional
 resistance to taking medication due to confrontation with cancer, doubt
 regarding efficacy and concerns over potential harm attached to use of the
 agent. Although they perceived themselves as being adherent to medication,
 they reported partial non-adherent behaviours. The patients reassessed
 their lives through the experience of inner conflict and, ultimately, they
 recognised their role in medication therapy. Conclusions: Patients with
 cancer experienced inner conflict, in which considerable emotional
 resistance to taking their medication affected their occasional
 non-adherent behaviours. In patient-centred care, it is imperative that
 healthcare providers understand patients’ inner conflict and inconsistency
 between their subjective view and behaviour to support patient adherence.

title: Data from: Guidelines and considerations for designing field experiments simulating precipitation extremes in forest ecosystems

description: 1. Context. Precipitation regimes are changing in response to climate
 change, yet understanding of how forest ecosystems respond to extreme
 droughts and pluvials remains incomplete. As future precipitation extremes
 will likely fall outside the range of historical variability,
 precipitation manipulation experiments (PMEs) are critical to advancing
 knowledge about potential ecosystem responses. However, few PMEs have been
 conducted in forests compared to short-statured ecosystems, and forest
 PMEs have unique design requirements and constraints. Moreover, past
 forest PMEs have lacked coordination, limiting cross-site comparisons.
 Here, we review and synthesize approaches, challenges, and opportunities
 for conducting PMEs in forests, with the goal of guiding design decisions,
 while maximizing the potential for coordination. 2. Approach. We reviewed
 63 forest PMEs at 70 sites worldwide. Workshops, meetings, and
 communications with experimentalists were used to generate and build
 consensus around approaches for addressing the key challenges and
 enhancing coordination. 3. Results. Past forest PMEs employed a variety of
 study designs related to treatment level, replication, plot and
 infrastructure characteristics, and measurement approaches. Important
 considerations for establishing new forest PMEs include: selecting
 appropriate treatment levels to reach ecological thresholds; balancing
 cost, logistical complexity, and effectiveness in infrastructure design;
 and preventing unintended water subsidies. Response variables in forest
 PMEs were organized into three broad tiers reflecting increasing
 complexity and resource intensiveness, with the first tier representing a
 recommended core set of common measurements. 4. Conclusions. Differences
 in site conditions combined with unique research questions of
 experimentalists necessitate careful adaptation of guidelines for forest
 PMEs to balance local objectives with coordination among experiments. We
 advocate adoption of a common framework for coordinating forest PME design
 to enhance cross-site comparability and advance fundamental knowledge
 about the response and sensitivity of diverse forest ecosystems to
 precipitation extremes.

title: Data from: High frequency echolocation, ear morphology, and the marine–freshwater transition: a comparative study of extant and extinct toothed whales

description: This study compares the bony ear morphology of freshwater and marine
 odontocetes (toothed whales). Odontocetes are unique among marine mammals
 in two important respects: 1) they use echolocation; 2) at least three
 lineages have independently evolved obligate freshwater habits from marine
 ancestries. Freshwater odontocetes include the so-called “river dolphins,”
 a paraphyletic group that each evolved convergent external morphological
 characters that distinguish them from oceanic dolphins (Delphinoidea). In
 addition to their convergent external morphology, “river dolphins” all
 have echolocation that use one peak (narrow-band) frequency around 100
 kHz, compared to oceanic delphinoids which use a two peak (bimodal)
 frequency ranging from 40 to 140 kHz. The differences in echolocation
 suggest that the sensory systems responsible for detecting these different
 sound frequencies should also differ, although quantitative assessments of
 the cetacean hearing system remain understudied and taxonomically
 undersampled. To test if ear bone morphology reflects underlying
 environmentally driven differences in echolocation ability, we assembled a
 dataset of odontocete periotics (n = 114) from extant and fossil species.
 We examined 18 external and three internal linear periotic measurements,
 the latter of which were examined using cone-beam scanning tomography.
 Results from multivariate canonical ordination analyses show that periotic
 height, periotic thickness and pars cochlearis width collectively explain
 the largest amount of interspecific variation in our dataset. Because
 these particular ear bone measurements correspond to acoustic hearing
 ranges, we propose that they are also proxies for environmental preference
 (i.e., marine, freshwater and intermediate habitats) and may be useful for
 deciphering environmental preferences of extinct odontocetes.

title: Data from: Surface contact and design of fibrillar ‘friction pads’ in stick insects (Carausius morosus): mechanisms for large friction coefficients and negligible adhesion.

description: Many stick insects and mantophasmids possess tarsal ‘heel pads’
 (euplantulae) covered by arrays of conical, micrometre-sized hairs
 (acanthae). These pads are used mainly under compression; they respond to
 load with increasing shear resistance, and show negligible adhesion.
 Reflected-light microscopy in stick insects (Carausius morosus) revealed
 that the contact area of ‘heel pads’ changes with normal load on three
 hierarchical levels. First, loading brought larger areas of the convex
 pads into contact. Second, loading increased the density of acanthae in
 contact. Third, higher loads changed the shape of individual hair contacts
 gradually from circular (tip contact) to elongated (side contact). The
 resulting increase in real contact area can explain the load dependence of
 friction, indicating a constant shear stress between acanthae and
 substrate. As the euplantula contact area is negligible for small loads
 (similar to hard materials), but increases sharply with load (resembling
 soft materials), these pads show high friction coefficients despite little
 adhesion. This property appears essential for the pads’ use in locomotion.
 Several morphological characteristics of hairy friction pads are in
 apparent contrast to hairy pads used for adhesion, highlighting key
 adaptations for both pad types. Our results are relevant for the design of
 fibrillar structures with high friction coefficients but small adhesion.

title: Data from: Comparative phylogeography in marginal seas of the northwestern Pacific

description: The maturation of marine phylogeography depends on integration of
 comparative information across different regions globally. The
 northwestern Pacific, characterized by unique tectonic setting, however,
 is still underrepresented. This study seeks to highlight its
 phylogeographical history based on available population data, focusing on
 three seas: the East China Sea (ECS), the South China Sea (SCS), and the
 Sea of Japan (SOJ). We first conducted a literature survey to evaluate
 current research efforts, and then re-analysed the population structure,
 historical demography and genealogy for two selections of studies (namely
 ‘the ECS category’ and ‘the multiple-sea category’) to elucidate the
 evolutionary processes within and across the seas, respectively. For the
 ECS category, the meta-analyses revealed most studies displayed a shallow
 phylogeny, indicating a single origin from the sea. Significant population
 structure was commonplace, particularly in mollusk and crustacean studies,
 with proportions of 89% and 80%, respectively. Nearly all studies selected
 showed signals of population expansion: the times estimated were closely
 linked to a period of ~120-140 Kya rather than the last glacial maximum.
 For the latter category, divergent intraspecific lineages appeared among
 seas and overlapped in the adjacent regions, a pattern implying each sea
 had served as an independent refugium during glaciations. The genetic
 splits, however, were estimated to arise from separate events dating from
 late Miocene to middle Pleistocene. As phylogeography is still in its
 infancy in the region, more effort is needed to test and complement the
 general rules abstracted here. Finally challenges and prospects were
 discussed to accelerate further research.

title: Data from: Cambrian series 3 agnostoid trilobites Ptychagnostus sinicus and Ptychagnostus atavus from the Machari Formation, Yeongwol Group, Taebaeksan Basin, Korea

description: This paper reports the successive occurrence of Ptychagnostus sinicus Lu,
 1957 and Ptychagnostus atavus (Tullberg, 1880) from the lower part of the
 Machari Formation, Yeongwol Group, Korea. Morphometric approaches of using
 the landmark and principal component analyses make it possible to
 differentiate P. sinicus from P. atavus with clarity: pygidia of P.
 sinicus have a relatively narrow M1, a transverse F2, and a weakly
 developed M2 tubercle, whereas those of P. atavus are characterized by a
 broadly arching M1, a chevron-shaped F2, and a prominent M2 tubercle.
 Recognition of P. atavus, for the first time in Korea, allows the
 determination of the base of the Drumian Stage in Korea and aids
 correlation with other parts of the world.

title: Data from: Lagged effects of early-season herbivores on valley oak fecundity

description: The seasonal match between folivore and leaf phenology affects the annual
 success of arboreal folivore populations because many folivores exploit
 developing leaves, which are an ephemeral resource. One strategy for
 folivores to exploit early-season leaves is to anticipate their emergence.
 The consequence of this behavior for trees is that individuals that set
 leaves earlier may experience greater rates of folivore damage, with
 potential negative fitness consequences. To test this hypothesis, we
 surveyed the early-season phenology, insect folivore damage, and acorn
 crop of a population of valley oaks (Quercus lobata) over a 3-year period.
 We found that trees that set leaves earlier experienced greater rates of
 folivore damage than trees that set leaves later in the season. In
 addition, we observed a lagged effect of folivore damage on acorn
 production, whereby trees with greater leaf damage produced fewer acorns
 in the subsequent year. These results indicate potential negative fitness
 consequences of earlier leaf phenology. Our study suggests that folivore
 pressure may be one factor that affects the optimal timing of leaf set in
 oaks.

title: Data from: Integral Projection Models for host-parasite systems with an application to amphibian chytrid fungus

description: Host–parasite models are typically constructed under either a
 microparasite or macroparasite paradigm. However, this has long been
 recognized as a false dichotomy because many infectious disease agents,
 including most fungal pathogens, have attributes of both microparasites
 and macroparasites. We illustrate how Integral Projection Models (IPMs)
 provide a novel modelling framework to represent both types of pathogens.
 We build a simple host–parasite IPM that tracks both the number of
 susceptible and infected hosts and the distribution of parasite burdens in
 infected hosts. The vital rate functions necessary to build IPMs for
 disease dynamics share many commonalities with classic micro and
 macroparasite models and we discuss how these functions can be
 parameterized to build a host–parasite IPM. We illustrate the utility of
 this IPM approach by modelling the temperature-dependent epizootic
 dynamics of amphibian chytrid fungus in Mountain yellow-legged frogs (Rana
 muscosa). The host–parasite IPM can be applied to other diseases such as
 facial tumour disease in Tasmanian devils and white-nose syndrome in bats.
 Moreover, the host–parasite IPM can be easily extended to capture more
 complex disease dynamics and provides an exciting new frontier in
 modelling wildlife disease.

title: Data from: Genetic diversity and population structure of three traditional horse breeds of Bhutan based on 29 DNA microsatellite markers

description: The genetic variability and population structure of three Bhutanese
 traditional horse breeds were assessed through genotyping of 74 horses
 (Boeta 25, Sharta 14 and Yuta 35) for 29 microsatellite DNA loci.
 Altogether, 282 alleles were detected across 29 polymorphic loci. The
 allelic diversity (NE) (Boeta 4.94; Sharta 4.65; Yuta 5.30) and gene
 diversities (HE) (Boeta 0.78; Sharta 0.77; Yuta 0.79) were high. None of
 the breeds deviated significantly from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
 There was no sign of significant population bottleneck for all the breeds.
 The inbreeding estimates (FIS) of the breeds were low (Boeta 0.023; Sharta
 0.001; Yuta 0.021). Analysis of molecular variance showed 0.6% of the
 total genetic variation among breeds, 1.9% among individuals and 97.5%
 within individuals. The global FIT, FST, and FIS estimates for the
 population were 0.025, 0.006 and 0.019 respectively. The analysis of
 population structure failed to distinguish subpopulations in traditional
 horses and this was supported by a high genetic exchange among the breeds.
 Overall, the results of this study suggest a rich genetic diversity in the
 traditional horse despite a very low genetic differentiation among the
 breeds in Bhutan.
