title: Data from: Sexual signal loss: the link between behavior and rapid evolutionary dynamics in a field cricket

description: 1. Sexual signals may be acquired or lost over evolutionary time, and are
 tempered in their exaggeration by natural selection. 2. In the Pacific
 field cricket, Teleogryllus oceanicus, a mutation (“flatwing”) causing
 loss of the sexual signal, the song, spread in &lt; 20 generations in
 two of three Hawaiian islands where the crickets have been introduced.
 Flatwing (as well as some normal-wing) males behave as satellites, moving
 towards and settling near calling males to intercept phonotactic females.
 3. From 2005-2012, we surveyed crickets and their responses to conspecific
 song, noting the morph and number of males and females before and after
 experimental playbacks. The three Hawaiian islands consistently contained
 different proportions of flatwing crickets, ranging from about 90% of
 males on Kauai to 50% on Oahu to rare on the Big Island of Hawaii. 4.
 Flatwing and normal-wing males do not appear to differ in responsiveness
 to playback, a behavior that should influence the likelihood of a male
 encountering a phonotactic female. Instead, male and female crickets from
 populations in which little to no calling song is perceptible during
 development tended to seek out callers more readily than crickets that
 developed in noisier environments. Such increased phonotaxis makes females
 more likely to find either the caller to which they are responding or to
 encounter a flatwing (or normal male satellite) that has also been
 attracted to the song. 5. Our evidence suggests that pre-existing
 behavioral plasticity (manifest as flexible responses to social –
 particularly acoustic – information in the environment) is associated with
 the rapid spread of the flatwing trait. Different social environments
 select for differential success of flatwing or normal-wing males, which in
 turn alters the social environment itself.

title: Data from: Under the influence: sublethal exposure to an insecticide affects personality expression in a jumping spider

description: 1. Consistent behavioural differences between individuals have
 far-reaching implications for ecology and evolution, including how
 populations cope with increasing anthropogenic changes, notably
 pesticides. Although sublethal doses of insecticides are known to alter
 behaviour, current studies on the relationship between toxicants and
 behaviour tend to ignore effects on individual variation. 2. Our objective
 was to determine whether sublethal exposure to an organophosphate
 insecticide could affect the consistency of individual behaviour and
 disrupt behavioural correlations, in a jumping spider occurring in
 agroecosystems. Adults of the jumping spider Eris militaris (Araneae:
 Salticidae) were scored by an open-field and a prey-capture assay, each
 conducted as pre- and post-insecticidal exposure to the organophosphate
 phosmet. Half of the individuals received no exposure to the insecticide
 to provide a control group. We then estimated the changes in
 repeatability, a measure of the extent of personality differences, and in
 behavioural correlations between control and insecticide-treated groups.
 3. Although insecticide exposure had no discernable effects on the
 population’s average behaviours, insecticide-exposed individuals showed an
 average of 23 % lower repeatability and the correlation between activity
 and prey capture was more strongly collapsed in females. 4. Our results
 provide clear evidence that exposure to sublethal doses of insecticides on
 an important arthropod predator in agroecosystems causes substantial
 alteration of personality differences even in absence of a population-wide
 shift in behaviour. This suggests insecticide effects are more complex
 than previously thought and indicates high variation in the way
 individuals coped with insecticidal exposure. 5. By altering the
 consistency of behavioural traits and their correlations, exposure to
 sublethal concentrations of insecticides can have subtle effects on
 behavioural expression, which may ultimately affect biocontrol performance
 in an important arthropod predator in agroecosystems. Our study calls for
 an increasing focus on individual behavioural variation when testing the
 effects of pesticides on non-targeted fauna.

title: Data from: Family morph matters: factors determining survival and recruitment in a long-lived polymorphic raptor

description: From an evolutionary perspective recruitment into the breeding population
 represents one of the most important life history stages and ultimately
 determines the effective population size. In order to contribute to the
 next generation, offspring must survive to sexual maturity, secure a
 territory and find a mate. In this study we explore factors influencing
 both offspring survival and their subsequent recruitment into the local
 breeding population in a long-lived urban raptor, the black sparrowhawk
 (Accipiter melanoleucus). Adult black sparrowhawks show discrete colour
 polymorphism (dark and light morphs) and in South Africa morphs are
 distributed clinally with the highest proportion of dark morphs (c.75%)
 present in our study population on the Cape Peninsula. Parental morph was
 associated with both survival and recruitment. For survival, parental
 morph combination was important – with young produced by pairs of
 contrasting morphs having higher survival rates than young fledged from
 like-pairs. The association between recruitment and morph was more
 complex; with an interaction between male morph and breeding time, whereby
 recruitment of offspring from dark morph fathers was more likely when
 fledging earlier in the season. The opposite relationship was found for
 light morph fathers, with their offspring more likely to be recruited if
 fledged later in the season. This interaction may be due to differential
 morph-specific hunting success of fathers (males contribute most food
 provisioning), linked to background matching and crypsis in different
 weather conditions. Dark morph males may hunt more successfully in rainier
 and cloudier conditions which occur more frequently earlier in the
 breeding season and light morph males may be more successful later on,
 when weather conditions become increasingly brighter and drier. Our
 results reveal a complex situation whereby the family morph combination
 influences survival, and the father morph specifically recruitment,
 revealing morph specific benefits dependent on the timing of breeding.
 These empirical data are amongst the first to support the idea that
 differential fitness consequence of morph combination may explain balanced
 polymorphism in a vertebrate population.

title: Data from: A novel mechanism of gland formation in zebrafish involving transdifferentiation of renal epithelial cells and live cell extrusion

description: Transdifferentiation is the poorly understood phenomenon whereby a
 terminally differentiated cell acquires a completely new identity. Here,
 we describe a rare example of a naturally occurring transdifferentiation
 in zebrafish in which kidney distal tubule epithelial cells are converted
 into an endocrine gland known as the Corpuscles of Stannius (CS). We find
 that this process requires Notch signalling and is associated with the
 cytoplasmic sequestration of the Hnf1b transcription factor, a
 master-regulator of renal tubule fate. A deficiency in the Irx3b
 transcription factor results in ectopic transdifferentiation of distal
 tubule cells to a CS identity but in a Notch-dependent fashion. Using
 live-cell imaging we show that CS cells undergo apical constriction en
 masse and are then extruded from the tubule to form a distinct organ. This
 system provides a valuable new model to understand the molecular and
 morphological basis of transdifferentiation and will ad vance efforts to
 exploit this rare phenomenon therapeutically.

title: Data from: Ant community and habitat limit colony establishment by the fire ant, Solenopis invicta

description: Hypotheses of community assembly include limitation through habitat
 physical attributes, as well as competition among species. Such hypotheses
 must be resolved through experimental tests. Previous experiments have
 shown that: (i) fire ants of the monogyne social form occur mostly in
 highly disturbed habitat where they do not compete with mature colonies of
 co-occurring ants; (ii) in native pine forests of northern Florida,
 habitat disturbance favours fire ants while simultaneously reducing native
 ants; (iii) fire ants thrive in these disturbances but do not persist as
 these become less disturbed over time; and finally, (iv) newly mated,
 dispersing/colony-founding fire ant queens settle preferentially in such
 disturbed sites. We now show that by choosing disturbed sites, newly
 mated, monogyne fire ant queens greatly increase their chances of
 successful colony establishment. Experimental plots were created in the
 native ground cover of a north Florida pine forest with all combinations
 of tilling, shading or reduction of the native ant community. Newly mated
 fire ant queens, incipient colonies and small colonies were planted in
 these plots. Only five of 980 (0·5%) newly mated queen nests survived
 after 120 days, and only five of 400 incipient colonies (1·3%) survived
 after 30 days. All survivors were in plots with tilling and/or native ant
 reduction. Extrapolation indicated that 0·04% of newly mated queens and
 0·1% of incipient colonies were likely to have survived at 1 year. In
 contrast, planting small colonies resulted in much higher rates of
 survival – in plots with native ant reduction, fire ants increased on
 baits throughout the year but decreased in unreduced control plots.
 Fifteen months after planting 108 colonies, 21 mounds (19%) were found in
 the ant-reduced plots, but &lt;2% of 108 colonies survived in the
 control plots. Taken together, these results show that by landing in
 disturbed habitat with its reduced native ant population, newly mated fire
 ants queens increase their chances of successful colony establishment. In
 contrast to much of the previous literature, our results suggest that ant
 community assembly proceeds primarily by queen habitat choice and
 secondarily by filtering and competition.

title: Data from: Diversity effects on root length production and loss in an experimental grassland community

description: Advances in root ecology have revealed that root standing biomass is
 higher in species-rich plant communities than in species-poor communities.
 Currently, we do not know whether this below-ground diversity effect is
 the result of enhanced root production or reduced root mortality or both,
 which is essential information to understand ecosystem functioning, as it
 determines C sequestration and N dynamics in soil. Minirhizotron
 observations were combined with root coring in five different plant
 communities (four monocultures and the respective mixture). Molecular
 markers were used to quantitatively determine species abundance in mixed
 root biomass samples in order to track shifts in below-ground species
 composition. In addition, a litterbag experiment was performed to study
 root decomposition independent of root mortality. Root length production
 was greater and root length loss was lower in the mixture than expected
 from monocultures in all years. Simulations suggest that at least two
 species must have had reduced losses in mixture compared to monoculture.
 However, the diversity effects on root mortality may partially be
 explained by selection effects as the species with the longest root life
 span became dominant in the mixtures. Root length loss from minirhizotrons
 was very low; the combination of minirhizotron length measurements with
 root biomass estimates from coring suggested underestimation of root loss
 in minirhizotrons over time. Root decomposition was not affected by
 diversity. Diversity enhanced root length production and decreased root
 loss, resulting in below-ground overyielding. With decomposition
 unaffected, our results suggest that root mortality is reduced with
 increasing diversity. Future studies have to reveal the generality of our
 observations in larger scale biodiversity experiments by using species
 having a wider variety of root traits.

title: Data from: Allopatric origin of cryptic butterfly species that were discovered feeding on distinct host plants in sympatry

description: Surveys of tropical insects are increasingly uncovering cryptic species -
 morphologically similar yet reproductively isolated taxa once thought to
 comprise a single interbreeding entity. The vast majority of such species
 are described from a single location. This leaves us with little
 information on geographic range and intraspecific variation and limits our
 ability to infer the forces responsible for generating such diversity. For
 example, in herbivorous and parasitic insects, multiple specialists are
 often discovered within what were thought to be single more generalized
 species. Host shifts are likely to have contributed to speciation in these
 cases. But when and where did those shifts occur, and were they
 facilitated by geographic isolation? We attempted to answer these
 questions for two cryptic species within the butterfly Cymothoe egesta
 that were recently discovered on different host plants in central
 Cameroon. We first used mtDNA markers to separate individuals collected on
 the two hosts within Cameroon and then extended our analysis to
 incorporate individuals collected across the entire pan-Afrotropical range
 of the original taxon. To our surprise, we found that the species are
 almost entirely allopatric, dividing the original range and overlapping
 only in the narrow zone of West-Central Africa where they were first
 discovered in sympatry. This finding, combined with analyses of genetic
 variation within each butterfly species, strongly suggests that speciation
 occurred in allopatry, probably during the Pleistocene. We discuss the
 implications of our results for understanding speciation among other
 cryptic species recently discovered in the tropics and argue that more
 work is needed on geographic patterns and host usage in such taxa.

title: Data from: Does the house sparrow Passer domesticus represent a global model species for egg rejection behavior?

description: Conspecific brood parasitism (CP) is a facultative breeding tactic whereby
 females lay their eggs in the nests of conspecifics. In some species,
 potential host individuals have evolved the ability to identify and reject
 foreign eggs from their nest. Previous studies suggest that the ubiquitous
 House Sparrow Passer domesticus in Spain and South Africa employs both CP
 and parasitic egg rejection, while a population in China does not. Given
 the species’ invasive range expansions, the House Sparrow represents a
 potentially excellent global model system for egg rejection across
 variable ecological conditions. The present study examines House Sparrow
 responses to experimental parasitism at three geographically distinct
 locations (in Israel, North America, and New Zealand) to provide a robust
 test of how general the findings of the previous studies are. In all three
 geographic regions egg rejection rates were negligible and not
 statistically different from background rates of disappearance of control
 eggs, suggesting that the House Sparrow is not a suitable model species
 for egg rejection experiments on a global scale.

title: Data from: Synchronous fluorescence as a green and selective tool for simultaneous determination of bambuterol and its main degradation product, terbutaline

description: A green, sensitive and cost-effective method is introduced in this
 research for the determination of bambuterol and its main degradation
 product; terbutaline simultaneously relied on the synchronous
 spectrofluorimetric technique. First derivative synchronous
 spectrofluorimetric amplitude is measured at Δλ=20 nm, so bambuterol can
 be quantitated at 260 nm, and terbutaline can be measured at 290 nm, each
 at the zero crossing point of the other. The amplitude-concentration plots
 were linear over the concentration ranges of 0.2-6.0 g/mL and 0.2-4.0
 g/mL for both bambuterol and terbutaline, respectively. Official
 guidelines were followed to calculate the validation parameters of the
 proposed method. The low values of LODs 0.023, 0.056 g/mL and LOQs 0.071,
 0.169 g/mL for bambuterol and terbutaline, respectively point out to the
 sensitivity of the method. Bambuterol is a prodrug for terbutaline, and
 the latter is considered its degradation product so the established method
 could be regarded as a stability-indicating one. Moreover, the proposed
 method is utilized for the analysis of BAM and TEB in their single
 ingredient preparations and the results revealed statistical agreement
 with the reference method. The suggested method, being simple and low cost
 procedure, is superior to the previously published methods which need more
 sophisticated techniques, longer analysis time and highly toxic solvents
 and reagents. It could be considered as an ecofriendly analytical
 procedure.
