title: Supplementary datasets from: The wettability of electron spun membranes by synovial fluid

description: Aseptic loosening due to periprosthetic osteolysis has been accepted as
 one of the leading causes of revision procedures in patients with previous
 joint arthroplasty. Recently, several strategies for suppression of
 osteolysis were proposed, mostly based on biological treatment such as
 mitigation of chronic inflammatory reactions. However, these biological
 treatments do not stop the debris migration but only reduce the
 inflammatory reaction. To address this shortcoming, we propose the concept
 of ultrahigh molecular weighted polyethylene (UHMWPE) particles
 filtration-storage by electrospun membranes. Firstly, the surface tension
 of synovial fluid is obtained by use of a pendant droplet. Secondly, the
 contact angle of the electrospun membranes wetted by two different liquids
 is measured to obtain the free surface energy using of the Owens-Wendt
 model. Additionally, the wettability of electrospun membranes by synovial
 fluid as a function of technology parameters is studied.

title: Exceptionally high apparent adult survival in three tropical species of plovers in Madagascar

description: Adult survival is a key component of population dynamics and understanding
 variation in and the drivers of adult survival rates and longevity is
 critical for ecological and evolutionary studies, as well as for
 conservation biology and practice. Tropical species of landbirds are often
 selected to have higher adult survival due to high nest predation rates,
 but it is unclear if the same patterns occur in other avian lineages with
 different life history strategies. Here, we investigate adult survival of
 three sympatrically breeding species of shorebirds in south-west
 Madagascar: the endemic and endangered Madagascar Plover Charadrius
 thoracicus, and two more widely distributed African species: the
 White-fronted Plover C. marginatus and the Kittlitz’s Plover C. pecuarius.
 Using mark-recapture data from 1843 individuals breeding at an intensely
 monitored saltmarsh over a 13-year period, we estimated annual rates of
 apparent survival (φ) corrected for encounter probability. Adult apparent
 survival rates were high for all three species (mean ± SE): Madagascar (φ
 = 0.899 ± 0.010) and White-fronted Plovers (φ = 0.923 ± 0.008). Kittlitz’s
 Plovers showed a difference between the first (φ1 = 0.719 ± 0.026) and
 subsequent transitions (φ2+ = 0.892 ± 0.014), suggesting that transient
 breeders are common in this species. For birds first captured as adults,
 these survival estimates translate to life-expectancies of 9.72 (± 1.11)
 years in Kittlitz’s plovers, 9.36 (± 0.98) years in Madagascar Plovers and
 12.48 (± 1.32) in White-fronted Plovers. We hypothesise that long lifespan
 could be an adaptation arising from the unique climatic pressures on the
 island of Madagascar that would otherwise lead to reduced fitness.
 However, long lifespans may not sufficiently compensate for a reduction in
 breeding opportunities due to possible climatic disruption in the future.
 Consequently, at least two of these plover species seem vulnerable to
 ongoing habitat destruction and changing climate cycles.

title: Data from: Applicability of artificial neural networks to integrate socio-technical drivers of buildings recovery following extreme wind events

description: The data provided and the associated MATLAB code were used to build an
 Artificial Neural Network Model to capture the reconstruction (recovery)
 of various buildings subjected to tornado events in the State of Missouri.
 The ANN model utilizes relevant tornado, societal demographic, and
 structural data to determine a building’s resulting damage state from an
 extreme wind event and the subsequent recovery time. Abstract for the
 publication is as follows: In a companion article, previously published in
 Royal Society Open Science, the authors used Graph Theory to evaluate
 artificial neural network models for potential social and building
 variables interactions contributing to building wind damage. The results
 promisingly highlighted the importance of social variables in modeling
 damage as opposed to the traditional approach of solely considering
 physical characteristics of a building. Within this update article, the
 same methods are used to evaluate two different artificial neural networks
 for modelling building repair and/or rebuild (recovery) time. In contrast
 to the damage models, the recovery models consider (A) primarily social
 variables and then (B) introduce structural variables. These two models
 are then evaluated using centrality and shortest path concepts of Graph
 Theory as well as validated against data from the 2011 Joplin Tornado. The
 results of this analysis do not show the same distinctions as were found
 in the analysis of the damage models from the companion article. The
 overarching lack of discernible and consistent differences in the recovery
 models suggests that social variables that drive damage are not
 necessarily contributions to recovery. The differences also serve to
 reinforce that machine learning methods are best used when the
 contributing variables are already well understood.
description: Social demographic data was collected from U.S. Census American
 Community Survey (ACS) at the block group level. Building characteristics,
 such as material and height, were visually evaluated from NWS Damage
 Survey Viewer photos from damage assessments conducted from January 1,
 2011 to December 31, 2015. For this research it was determined that an
 individual building would belocated within a census block group and would
 assume the characteristics of that group. Each NWS damage photo was
 previously geo-tagged. This location was subsequently found using Google
 Earth, which possesses an ability to step back through satellite images
 over time. Time steps through Google Earth were used to conduct a visual
 assessment of the structure prior to the hazard event up to 3 years
 following the event, provided there were documented satelitte images for
 that time. Each structure’s condition was assessed for whether it was
 rebuilt and reoccupied by 6 months, 1 year, 1.5 years, 2 years,or not yet
 recovered by 2 years.

title: Adaptive divergence and the evolution of hybrid trait mismatch in threespine stickleback

description: Selection against mismatched traits in hybrids is the phenotypic analogue
 of intrinsic hybrid incompatibilities. Mismatch occurs when hybrids
 resemble one parent population for some phenotypic traits and the other
 parent population for other traits, and is caused by dominance in opposing
 directions or from segregation of alleles in recombinant hybrids. In this
 study, we used threespine stickleback fish (Gasterosteus aculeatus L.) to
 test the theoretical prediction that trait mismatch in hybrids should
 increase with the magnitude of phenotypic divergence between parent
 populations. We measured morphological traits in parents and hybrids in
 crosses between a marine population representing the ancestral form and
 twelve freshwater populations that have diverged from this ancestral state
 to varying degrees according to their environments. We found that trait
 mismatch was greater in more divergent crosses for both F1 and F2 hybrids.
 In the F1 the divergence--mismatch relationship was caused by traits
 having dominance in different directions, whereas it was caused by
 increasing segregating phenotypic variation in the F2. Our results imply
 that extrinsic hybrid incompatibilities accumulate as phenotypic
 divergence proceeds.

title: The socioeconomic status of cities covaries with avian life-history strategies

description: Cities are the planet’s newest ecosystem and thus provide the opportunity
 to study community formation directly following major permanent
 environmental change. The human social and built components of
 environments can vary widely in different cities, yet it is largely
 unknown how features of cities covary with the traits of colonizing
 species despite humans being the ultimate cause of environments and
 disturbances in cities. We constructed a dataset from open-source data
 comprised of 13,502 breeding season observations of 213 Passerine species
 observed in 551 Census-defined urban areas across the United States. We
 found that as a city became more compact with less sprawl it tended to
 support more migratory species and species with lower body mass, shorter
 lifespans, and larger clutches. We also found that species had lower body
 mass in cities with higher median income, and higher body mass in highly
 populated cities. Our results highlight the complexity of human-dominated
 urban ecosystems, where human socioeconomic actions and everyday
 activities intermix leading to structurally heterogeneous environments
 that support the colonization of some species over others.

title: Data from: Like a rolling stone: Colonization and migration dynamics of the gray reef shark (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos)

description: Designing appropriate management plans requires knowledge of both the
 dispersal ability and what has shaped the current distribution of the
 species under consideration. Here we investigated the evolutionary history
 of the endangered gray reef shark (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos) across its
 range by sequencing thousands of RAD-seq loci in 173 individuals in the
 Indo-Pacific (IP). We first bring evidence of the occurrence of a range
 expansion (RE) originating close to the Indo-Australian Archipelago (IAA)
 where two stepping-stone waves (east and westward) colonized almost the
 entire IP. Coalescent modeling additionally highlighted a
 homogenous connectivity (Nm~10 per generation) throughout the
 range, and an isolation-by-distance model suggested the absence
 of barriers to dispersal despite the affinity of C.
 amblyrhynchos to coral reefs. This coincides with
 long-distance swims previously recorded, suggesting that the strong
 genetic structure at the IP scale (FST ~ 0.56 between its ends)
 is the consequence of its broad current distribution and organization in a
 large number of demes. Our results strongly suggest that management plans
 for the gray reef shark should be designed on a range-wide rather than a
 local scale due to its continuous genetic structure. We
 further contrasted these results with those obtained previously
 for the sympatric but strictly lagoon-associated Carcharhinus
 melanopterus, known for its restricted dispersal ability. C.
 melanopterus exhibits a similar RE dynamic but is characterized by
 stronger genetic structure and a non-homogeneous connectivity largely
 dependent on local coral reefs availability. This sheds new light on shark
 evolution, emphasizing the roles of IAA as a source of biodiversity and of
 life history traits in shaping the extent of genetic structure and
 diversity.

title: Asymmetric allelic introgression across a hybrid zone of the coal tit (Periparus ater) in the central Himalayas

description: In the Himalayas, a number of secondary contact zones have been described
 for vicariant vertebrate taxa. However, analyses of genetic divergence and
 admixture are missing for most of these examples. In this study, we
 provide a population genetic analysis for the coal tit (Periparus ater)
 hybrid zone in Nepal. Intermediate phenotypes between the distinctive
 western ‘spot-winged tit’ (P. a. melanolophus) and eEastern Himalayan coal
 tits (P. a. aemodius) occur across a narrow range of less than 100 km in
 western Nepal. As a peculiarity, another distinctive cinnamon-bellied form
 is known from a single population so far. Genetic admixture of western and
 eastern mitochondrial lineages was restricted to the narrow zone of
 phenotypically intermediate populations. The cline width was estimated 46
 km only with a center close to the population of the cinnamon-bellied
 phenotype. In contrast, allelic introgression of microsatellite loci was
 asymmetrical from eastern P. a. aemodius into far western populations of
 phenotypic P. a. melanolophus but not vice versa. Accordingly, the
 microsatellite cline was about 3.7 times wider than the mitochondrial one.
description: A 437-bp long fragment of the mitochondrial control region was
 amplified from DNA extracts inferred from toe-pad samples of 50-year-old
 museum specimens and sequenced on a 16-column ABI 3130xl capillary
 sequencer (Applied Biosystems™). For the same samples a set of 10
 microsatellite loci was analysed in two separate muliplex sets using the
 Type‐it® Microsatellite PCR Kit (Qiagen). Fragment-length analysis was
 performed on the same ABI 3130xl capillary sequencer for total volumes of
 10 µl containing 1 µl muliplex PCR products.

title: Microplastics in Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) spraints and their potential as a biomonitoring tool in freshwater systems

description: The ubiquitous nature of microplastics in aquatic ecosystems may have
 serious implications for aquatic biota. While microplastic research in
 freshwater ecosystems is increasing, very few studies have assessed the
 physical presence of microplastics among top predators. The Eurasian otter
 (Lutra lutra), a top predator of aquatic ecosystems, is one of the most
 widely distributed otter species and has a broad habitat niche. The
 opportunistic collection of otter spraints (i.e. feces) presents a
 valuable opportunity to assess pollutants of freshwater ecosystems through
 non-invasive means. Here we assessed the prevalence, abundance and
 concentration of microplastics (100 µm to 5 mm), as well as dietary
 remains, in 53 spraint samples collected over eight river catchments
 spanning three regions of Ireland. We found microplastics present in 57%
 of spraints at an abundance of 1.2 ± 0.1 microplastics (MPs)/spraint (mean
 ± SE) and a concentration of 3.8 ± 0.6 MPs/g (dry weight). Fibers were the
 dominant particle type recovered (85%), followed by film (10%). No
 significant differences in microplastic concentrations were detected
 between the three regions assessed, or between spraints collected from
 areas upstream (i.e. ‘lower’ exposure) or downstream (‘higher’ exposure)
 of putative microplastic sources, which were defined using spatial vector
 data. While microplastic concentrations were not explained by spraint
 condition (i.e. fresh, drying or dry), spraints collected in autumn had a
 significantly higher concentration than spring and summer. Furthermore,
 microplastic abundance or concentration could not be linked to dietary
 composition based on the items identified. From a trophic perspective,
 this study showed that the presence of microplastics in the feces of otter
 are most likely being obtained through its prey (i.e. secondary
 ingestion). While there may be limitations associated with using spraints
 as a biomonitoring tool for microplastics in freshwater systems,
 particularly with respect to otter home range and dietary niche breadth,
 they could still be employed for a regional assessment of microplastic
 levels.

title: Data for: Dietary analysis reveals differences in the prey use of two sympatric bat species

description: One mechanism for morphologically similar and sympatric species to avoid
 competition and facilitate coexistence is to feed on different prey items
 within different microhabitats. In the current study, we investigated and
 compared the diet of the two most common and similar-sized bat species in
 Japan – Murina ussuriensis (Ognev, 1913) and Myotis
 ikonnikovi (Ognev, 1912) – to gain more knowledge about the degree of
 overlap in their diet and their foraging behavior. We found that both bat
 species consumed prey from the orders of Lepidoptera and Diptera most
 frequently, while the proportion of Dipterans was higher in the diet of M.
 ikonnikovi. Furthermore, we found a higher prey diversity in the diet of
 M. ikonnikovi compared to that of M. ussuriensis which might indicate that
 the former is a more generalist predator than the latter. In contrast, the
 diet of M. ussuriensis contained many Lepidopteran families. The higher
 probability of prey items likely captured via gleaning to occur in the
 diet of M. ussuriensis in contrast to M. ikonnikovi indicates that M.
 ussuriensis might switch between aerial-hawking and gleaning modes of
 foraging behavior. We encourage further studies across various types of
 habitats and seasons to investigate the flexibility of the diet
 composition and foraging habitat use of these two bat species.
