title: Data from: An experimental evaluation of the effects of geolocator design and attachment method on between-year survival on whinchats Saxicola rubetra

description: Data from location logging tags have revolutionised our understanding of
 migration ecology, but methods of tagging that do not compromise survival
 need to be identified. We compared resighting rates for 156
 geolocator-tagged and 316 colour ringed-only whinchats on their African
 wintering grounds after migration to and from eastern Europe in two
 separate years. We experimentally varied both light stalk length (0, 5 and
 10 mm) and harness material (elastic or non-elastic nylon braid tied on,
 leg-loop ‘Rappole’ harnesses) in the second year using a reasonably
 balanced design (all tags in the first year used an elastic harness and 10
 mm light stalk). Tags weighed 0.63 g (0.01 SE), representing 4.1% of
 average body mass. There was no overall significant reduction in
 between-year resighting rate (our proxy for survival) comparing tagged and
 untagged birds in either year. When comparing within tagged birds,
 however, using a tied harness significantly reduced resighting rate by 53%
 on average compared to using an elastic harness (in all models), but stalk
 length effects were not statistically significant in any model considered.
 There was no strong evidence that the fit (relative tightness) or added
 tag mass affected survival, although tied tags were fitted more tightly
 later in the study, and birds fitted with tied tags later may have had
 lower survival. Overall, on a precautionary principle, deploying tags with
 non-elastic tied harnesses should be avoided because the necessary fit, so
 as not to reduce survival, is time-consuming to achieve and does not
 necessarily improve with experience. Geolocator tags of the recommended
 percentage of body mass fitted with elastic leg-loop harnesses and with
 short light stalks can be used without survival effects in small
 long-distance migrant birds.

title: Data from: How size and conspicuousness affect the efficacy of flash coloration

description: Some prey are cryptic at rest but expose conspicuous colors when in
 motion. Previous findings suggest that these “flash displays” deceive
 would-be predators by providing false information about the color of prey,
 tricking them into continuing to look for prey with the conspicuous color
 when the prey have actually returned to their cryptic resting state. These
 results raise questions about the properties of flash coloration that make
 it effective. Here, using humans as visual foragers searching for
 artificial prey models on a computer screen, we tested whether the
 effectiveness of flash coloration depends on the size of artificial prey.
 In addition, we tested whether flashing a different, but inconspicuous,
 color other than the resting color of prey is sufficient to deceive
 predators, or whether the flash coloration actually needs to be
 conspicuous to elicit predator confusion. Results indicate that (i) flash
 coloration tends to be more effective in large prey and (ii) only
 conspicuous flash displays substantially reduce predation. Our findings
 help to explain why hidden color patches are more likely to be found in
 large insect species and why flash coloration is so often conspicuous.
 This study provides direct experimental evidence that the effectiveness of
 flash coloration is conditional, in that not all forms of flash display
 increase survivorship.

title: Data from: A hierarchical model of whole assemblage island biogeography

description: Island systems have long played a central role in the development of
 ecology and evolutionary biology. However, while many empirical studies
 suggest species differ in vital biogeographic rates, such as dispersal
 abilities, quantitative methods have had difficulty incorporating such
 differences into analyses of whole-assemblages. In particular, differences
 in dispersal abilities among species can cause variation in the spatial
 clustering and localization of species distributions. Here, we develop a
 single, hierarchical Bayes, assemblage-wide model of 252 bird species
 distributions on the islands of Northern Melanesia and use it to
 investigate a) whether dispersal limitation structures bird assemblages
 across the archipelago, b) whether species differ in dispersal ability,
 and c) test the hypothesis that wing aspect ratio, a trait linked to
 flight efficiency, predicts differences inferred by the model. Consistent
 with island biogeographic theory, we found that individual species were
 more likely to occur on islands with greater area, and on islands near to
 other islands where the species also occurred. However, species showed
 wide variation in the importance and spatial scale of these clustering
 effects. The importance of clustering in distributions was greater for
 species with low wing aspect ratios, and the spatial scale of clustering
 was also smaller for low aspect ratio species. These findings suggest that
 the spatial configuration of islands interacts with species dispersal
 ability to affect contemporary distributions, and that these species
 differences are detectable in occurrence patterns. More generally, our
 study demonstrates a quantitative, hierarchical approach that can be used
 to model the influence of dispersal heterogeneity in diverse assemblages
 and test hypotheses for how traits drive dispersal differences, providing
 a framework for deconstructing ecological assemblages and their drivers.

title: Data from: Infectious disease, behavioural flexibility, and the evolution of culture in primates

description: Culturally transmitted traits are observed in a wide array of animal
 species, yet we understand little about the costs of the behavioural
 patterns that underlie culture, such as innovation and social learning. We
 propose that infectious diseases are a significant cost associated with
 cultural transmission. We investigated two hypotheses that may explain
 such a connection: that social learning and exploratory behaviours
 (specifically, innovation and extractive foraging) either compensate for
 existing infection or increase exposure to infectious agents. We used
 Bayesian comparative methods, controlling for sampling effort, body mass,
 group size, geographical range size, terrestriality, latitude and
 phylogenetic uncertainty. Across 127 primate species, we found a positive
 association between pathogen richness and rates of innovation, extractive
 foraging and social learning. This relationship was driven by two
 independent phenomena: socially contagious diseases were positively
 associated with rates of social learning, and environmentally transmitted
 diseases were positively associated with rates of exploration. Because
 higher pathogen burdens can contribute to morbidity and mortality, we
 propose that parasitism is a significant cost associated with the
 behavioural patterns that underpin culture, and that increased pathogen
 exposure is likely to have played an important role in the evolution of
 culture in both non-human primates and humans.

title: Data from: Phenotypic and genotypic convergences are influenced by historical contingency and environment in yeast

description: Different organisms have independently and recurrently evolved similar
 phenotypic traits at different points throughout history. This phenotypic
 convergence may be caused by genotypic convergence and in addition,
 constrained by historical contingency. To investigate how convergence may
 be driven by selection in a particular environment and constrained by
 history, we analyzed nine life-history traits and four metabolic traits
 during an experimental evolution of six yeast strains in four different
 environments. In each of the environments, the population converged toward
 a different multivariate phenotype. However, the evolution of most traits,
 including fitness components, was constrained by history. Phenotypic
 convergence was partly associated with the selection of mutations in genes
 involved in the same pathway. By further investigating the convergence in
 one gene, BMH1, mutated in 20% of the evolved populations, we show that
 both the history and the environment influenced the types of mutations
 (missense/nonsense), their location within the gene itself, as well as
 their effects on multiple traits. However, these effects could not be
 easily predicted from ancestors’ phylogeny or past selection. Combined,
 our data highlight the role of pleiotropy and epistasis in shaping a
 rugged fitness landscape.

title: Data from: Experimental evolution exposes female and male responses to sexual selection and conflict in Tribolium castaneum

description: Between-individual variance in potential reproductive rate theoretically
 creates a load in reproducing populations by driving sexual selection of
 male traits for winning competitions, and female traits for resisting the
 costs of multiple mating. Here, using replicated experimental evolution
 under divergent operational sex ratios (OSR, 9:1 or 1:6 ?:?) we
 empirically identified the parallel reproductive fitness consequences for
 males and females in the promiscuous flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. Our
 results revealed clear evidence that sexual conflict resides within the T.
 castaneum mating system. After 20 generations of selection, females from
 female-biased OSRs became vulnerable to multiple mating, and showed a
 steep decrease in reproductive fitness with an increasing number of
 control males. In contrast, females from male-biased OSRs showed no change
 in reproductive fitness, irrespective of male numbers. The divergence in
 reproductive output was not explained by variation in female mortality.
 Parallel assays revealed that males also responded to experimental
 evolution: individuals from male-biased OSRs obtained 27% greater
 reproductive success across 7 days of competition for females with a
 control male rival, compared to males from the female-biased lines.
 Subsequent assays suggest that these differences were not due to
 post-copulatory sperm competitiveness, but to pre-copulatory/copulatory
 competitive male mating behaviour.

title: Data from: Consequences of mating with siblings and nonsiblings on the reproductive success in a leaf beetle

description: Choosing a suitable mating partner is crucial for the fitness of an
 individual, whereby mating with siblings often results in inbreeding
 depression. We studied consequences of mating with siblings versus
 nonsiblings in the mustard leaf beetle, Phaedon cochleariae (Coleoptera:
 Chrysomelidae), on lifetime reproductive traits. Furthermore, we analyzed
 whether cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profiles are family specific and could
 potentially influence the mating behavior of young adults. We hypothesized
 a reduced reproductive success of females mated with siblings and a more
 rapid mating of males with nonsiblings. The hatching rate from eggs of
 sibling pairs was lower compared to that of nonsibling pairs, pointing to
 inbreeding depression. Furthermore, the number of eggs laid by females
 decreased over time in both sibling and nonsibling pairs. Interestingly,
 the CHC profiles and the body mass differed between families. However, the
 beetles did not avoid siblings and accepted them as readily as nonsiblings
 for mating in no-choice tests. In summary, although it had negative
 consequences to mate a sibling and although siblings could potentially be
 recognized by their CHC profiles, the beetles did not show a delayed
 mating with siblings. Our results indicate that P. cochleariae beetles
 have not developed a precopulatory mechanism to avoid inbreeding, at least
 under the test conditions applied here. We predict that instead a
 polyandrous mating system and/or postcopulatory mechanisms might have
 evolved in this species by which inbreeding costs can be reduced.

title: Data from: Morphological and functional maturity of the oral jaws covary with offspring size in Trinidadian guppies

description: Large size of individual offspring is routinely selected for in highly
 competitive environments, such as in low-predation populations of the
 Trinidadian guppy (Poecilia reticulata). Large guppy offspring outcompete
 their smaller conspecifics, but the functional mechanisms underlying this
 advantage are unknown. We measured jaw kinematics during benthic feeding
 and cranial musculoskeletal morphologies in neonates and juveniles from
 five populations of Trinidadian guppy and found that both kinematics and
 morphologies vary substantially with neonatal size. Rotation at the
 intramandibular joint (IMJ), but not the quadratomandibular joint (QMJ),
 increases with size among guppy offspring, from 11.7° in the smallest
 neonates to 22.9° in the largest neonates. Ossification of the cranial
 skeleton varies from 20% in the smallest neonates to 90% in the largest.
 Relative to standard length (SL; jaw tip to caudal fin base distance), the
 surface area of jaw-closing musculature scales with positive allometry
 (SL2.72) indicating that muscle growth outpaces body growth. Maximum gape
 also scales with positive allometry (SL1.20), indicating that larger
 neonates are capable of greater jaw excursions. These findings indicate
 that size is not the sole adaptive benefit to producing larger offspring;
 maturation provides a potential functional mechanism underlying the
 competitive advantage of large offspring size among Trinidadian guppies.

title: Data from: Linking genetic kinship and demographic analyses to characterize dispersal: methods and application to Blanding’s turtle

description: Characterizing how frequently, and at what life stages and spatial scales,
 dispersal occurs can be difficult, especially for species with cryptic
 juvenile periods and long reproductive life spans. Using a combination of
 mark–recapture information, microsatellite genetic data, and demographic
 simulations, we characterize natal and breeding dispersal patterns in the
 long-lived, slow-maturing, and endangered Blanding’s turtle (Emydoidea
 blandingii), focusing on nesting females. We captured and genotyped 310
 individual Blanding’s turtles (including 220 nesting females) in a central
 Wisconsin population from 2010 to 2013, with additional information on
 movements among 3 focal nesting areas within this population available
 from carapace-marking conducted from 2001 to 2009. Mark–recapture analyses
 indicated that dispersal among the 3 focal nesting areas was infrequent
 (&lt;0.03 annual probability). Dyads of females with inferred
 first-order relationships were more likely to be found within the same
 nesting area than split between areas, and the proportion of related dyads
 declined with increasing distance among nesting areas. The observed
 distribution of related dyads for nesting females was consistent with a
 probability of natal dispersal at first breeding between nearby nesting
 areas of approximately 0.1 based on demographic simulations. Our
 simulation-based estimates of infrequent female dispersal were
 corroborated by significant spatial genetic autocorrelation among nesting
 females at scales of &lt;500 m. Nevertheless, a lack of spatial
 genetic autocorrelation among non-nesting turtles (males and females)
 suggested extensive local connectivity, possibly mediated by male
 movements or long-distance movements made by females between terrestrial
 nesting areas and aquatic habitats. We show here that coupling genetic and
 demographic information with simulations of individual-based population
 models can be an effective approach for untangling the contributions of
 natal and breeding dispersal to spatial ecology.

title: Data from: Haldane’s rule revisited: do hybrid females have a shorter lifespan? Survival of hybrids in a recent contact zone between two large gull species

description: Haldane’s rule predicts that particularly high fitness reduction should
 affect the heterogametic sex of interspecific hybrids. Despite the fact
 that hybridization is widespread in birds, survival of hybrid individuals
 is rarely addressed in studies of avian hybrid zones, possibly because of
 methodological constraints. Here, having applied capture-mark-recapture
 models to an extensive, 19-year-long dataset on individually marked birds,
 we estimate annual survival rates of hybrid individuals in the hybrid zone
 between herring (Larus argentatus) and Caspian (L. cachinnans) gulls. In
 both parental species, males have a slightly higher survival rate than
 females (model-weighted mean ± SE: herring gull males 0.88 ± 0.01, females
 0.87 ± 0.01, Caspian gull males 0.88 ± 0.01, females 0.87 ± 0.01). Hybrid
 males do not survive for a shorter time than non-hybrid ones (0.88 ±
 0.01), whereas hybrid females have the lowest survival rate among all
 groups of individuals (0.83 ± 0.03). This translates to a shorter adult
 (reproductive) lifespan (on average by 1.7-1.8 years, i.e. ca 25%)
 compared to non-hybrid females. We conclude that, in line with Haldane’s
 rule, the lower survival rate of female hybrids may contribute to
 selection against hybrids in this hybrid zone.

title: Data from: Changes in left ventricular relaxation after azelnidipine treatment in hypertensive patients with diabetes: subanalysis of a prospective single-arm multicenter study

description: Objectives: We previously demonstrated that a calcium channel blocker,
 azelnidipine, improves left ventricular relaxation in patients with
 hypertension and diastolic dysfunction in a multicentre, Clinical impact
 of Azelnidipine on Left VentricuLar diastolic function and OutComes in
 patients with hypertension (CALVLOC) trial. The objectives of the present
 subanalysis were to investigate the differences in diastolic function in
 hypertensive patients with and without diabetes, and the efficacy of
 azelnidipine on diastolic function among them. Design: Subanalysis of a
 prospective single-arm multicentre study. Participants: 228 hypertensive
 patients with normal ejection fraction and impaired left ventricular
 relaxation (septal e′ velocity &lt;8 cm/s on echocardiography)
 enrolled for CALVLOC trial. They were divided into two groups based on
 presence or absence of diabetes. Interventions: Administration of 16 mg of
 azelnidipine for 8 months (range 6–10 months). Main outcome measures:
 Septal e′ velocity before and at the end of the study. Results: Whereas
 patients with diabetes (n=53, 23.2%) had lower systolic blood pressure
 (BP) than patients without diabetes (155±17 vs 161±16 mm Hg, p=0.03), they
 had lower e′ velocity (5.7±1.5 vs 6.1±1.4 cm/s, p=0.04) at baseline.
 Azelnidipine decreased BP and heart rate, and increased e′ velocity
 similarly in patients with diabetes (5.7±1.5 to 6.3±1.5 cm/s, p=0.0003)
 and without diabetes (6.1±1.4 to 6.9±1.4 cm/s, p&lt;0.0001). Increase
 in e′ velocity was not influenced by presence of diabetes, and patients
 with diabetes still had lower e′ velocity after treatment (p=0.006). There
 was a significant correlation between increase in e′ velocity and decrease
 in systolic BP (R=0.25, p=0.0001), which was not influenced by diabetes.
 Conclusions: Comorbid diabetes could impair left ventricular relaxation
 independently in patients with hypertension, which might not be improved
 solely by BP lowering.
