title: Data from: Observed and dark diversity dynamics over millennial time scales: Fast-life history traits linked to expansion lags of plants in northern Europe

description: Global change drivers (e.g. climate and land use) affect the species and
 functional traits observed in a local site but also its dark diversity—the
 set of species and traits locally suitable but absent. Dark diversity
 links regional and local scales and, over time, reveals taxa under
 expansion lags by depicting the potential biodiversity that remains
 suitable but is absent locally. Since global change effects on
 biodiversity are both spatially and temporally scale dependent, examining
 long-term temporal dynamics in observed and dark diversity would be
 relevant to assessing and foreseeing biodiversity change. Here, we used
 sedimentary pollen data to examine how both taxonomic and functional
 observed and dark diversity changed over the past 14500 years in northern
 Europe. We found that taxonomic and functional observed and dark diversity
 increased over time, especially after the Late Glacial and during the Late
 Holocene. However, dark diversity dynamics revealed expansion lags related
 to species' functional characteristics (dispersal limitation and
 stress intolerance) and an extensive functional redundancy when compared
 to taxa in observed diversity. We highlight that assessing observed and
 dark diversity dynamics is a promising tool to examine biodiversity change
 across spatial scales, its possible causes, and functional consequences.

title: Hippo signaling impairs alveolar epithelial regeneration in pulmonary fibrosis

description: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) consists of fibrotic alveolar
 remodeling and progressive loss of pulmonary function. Genetic and
 experimental evidence indicates that chronic alveolar injury and failure
 to properly repair the respiratory epithelium are intrinsic to IPF
 pathogenesis. Loss of alveolar type 2 (AT2) stem cells or mutations that
 either impair their self-renewal and/or impair their differentiation into
 AT1 cells can serve as a trigger of pulmonary fibrosis. Recent reports
 indicate increased YAP activity in respiratory epithelial cells in IPF
 lungs. Individual IPF epithelial cells with aberrant Yap activation in
 bronchiolized regions frequently co-express AT1, AT2, conducting airway
 selective markers and even mesenchymal or EMT markers, demonstrating
 "indeterminate" states of differentiation and suggesting that
 aberrant Yap signaling might promote pulmonary fibrosis. Yet, Yap and Taz
 have recently also been shown to be important for AT1 cell maintenance and
 alveolar epithelial regeneration after Streptococcus pneumoniae-induced
 injury. To investigate how epithelial Yap/Taz might promote pulmonary
 fibrosis or drive alveolar epithelial regeneration, we inactivated the
 Hippo pathway in AT2 stem cells resulting in increased nuclear Yap/Taz and
 found that this promotes their alveolar regenerative capacity and reduces
 pulmonary fibrosis following bleomycin injury by pushing them along the
 AT1 cell lineage. Vice versa, inactivation of both Yap and Taz or Taz
 alone in AT2 stem cells impaired alveolar epithelial regeneration and
 resulted in increased pulmonary fibrosis upon bleomycin injury.
 Interestingly, inactivation of only Yap in AT2 stem cells promoted
 alveolar epithelial regeneration and reduced pulmonary fibrosis. Together,
 these data suggest that epithelial Yap promotes, and epithelial Taz
 reduces pulmonary fibrosis suggesting that targeting Yap- but not
 Taz-mediated transcription might help promote AT1 cell regeneration and
 treat pulmonary fibrosis.

title: Data from: Benefits of living closer to kin vary by genealogical relationship in a territorial mammal

description: While cooperative interactions among kin are a key building block in the
 societies of group-living species, their importance for species with more
 variable social environments is unclear. North American red squirrels
 (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) defend individual territories in dynamic
 neighbourhoods and are known to benefit from living among familiar
 conspecifics, but not relatives. However, kin-directed behaviours may be
 restricted to specific genealogical relationships or strongly mediated by
 geographic distance, masking their influence at broader scales. Using
 distance between territories as a proxy for the ability of individuals to
 interact, we estimated the influence of primary kin (parents, offspring,
 siblings) on the annual survival and reproductive success of red
 squirrels. This approach revealed associations between fitness and access
 to kin, but only for certain genealogical relationships and fitness
 components. For example, females had enhanced annual survival when living
 closer to their daughters, though the reverse was not true. Most
 surprising was the finding that males had higher annual reproductive
 success when living closer to their father, suggesting possible
 recognition and cooperation among fathers and sons. Together, these
 findings point to unexpected nuance in the fitness consequences of kinship
 dynamics for a species that is territorial and largely solitary.

title: Bison movement response to weather

description: Animal movement patterns are affected by complex interactions between
 biotic and abiotic landscape conditions, and these patterns are being
 altered by weather variability associated with a changing climate. Some
 animals, like the American plains bison (Bison bison L.; hereafter, plains
 bison), are considered keystone species, thus their response to weather
 variability may alter ecosystem structure and biodiversity patterns. Many
 movement studies of plains bison and other ungulates have focused on
 point‐pattern analyses (e.g., resource‐selection) that have provided
 information about where these animals move, but information about when or
 why these animals move is limited. For example, information surrounding
 the influence of weather on plains bison movement in response to weather
 is limited but has important implications for their conservation in a
 changing climate. To explore how movement distance is affected by weather
 patterns and drought, we utilized 12‐min GPS data from two of the largest
 plains bison herds in North America to model their response to weather and
 drought parameters using generalized additive mixed models. Distance moved
 was best predicted by air temperature, wind speed, and rainfall. However,
 air temperature best explained the variation in distance moved compared to
 any other single parameter we measured, predicting a 48% decrease in
 movement rates above 28°C. Moreover, severe drought (as indicated by 25‐cm
 depth soil moisture) better predicted movement distance than moderate
 drought. The strong influence of weather and drought on plains bison
 movements observed in our study suggests that shifting climate and weather
 patterns will likely affect plains bison movement patterns, further
 complicating conservation efforts for this wide‐ranging keystone species.
 Moreover, changes in plains bison movement patterns may have cascading
 effects for grassland ecosystem structure, function, and biodiversity.
 Plains bison and grassland conservation efforts need to be proactive and
 adaptive when considering the implications of a changing climate on bison
 movement patterns.

title: The potential and shortcomings of mitochondrial DNA analysis for cheetah conservation management

description: There are only about 7,100 adolescent and adult cheetahs (Acinonyx
 jubatus) remaining in the wild. With the majority occurring outside
 protected areas, their numbers are rapidly declining. Evidence-based
 conservation measures are essential for the survival of this species.
 Genetic data is routinely used to inform conservation strategies, e.g., by
 establishing conservation units (CU). A commonly used marker in
 conservation genetics is mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Here, we investigated
 the cheetah’s phylogeography using a large-scale mtDNA data set to refine
 subspecies distributions and better assign individuals to CUs. Our dataset
 mostly consisted of historic samples to cover the cheetah’s whole range as
 the species has been extinct in most of its former distribution. While our
 genetic data largely agree with geography-based subspecies assignments,
 several geographic regions show conflicting mtDNA signals. Our analyses
 support previous findings that evolutionary forces such as incomplete
 lineage sorting or mitochondrial capture likely confound the mitochondrial
 phylogeography of this species, especially in East and, to some extent, in
 Northeast Africa. We caution that subspecies assignments solely based on
 mtDNA should be treated carefully and argue for an additional standardized
 nuclear single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker set for subspecies
 identification and monitoring. However, the detection of the A. j.
 soemmeringii specific haplogroup by a newly designed
 Amplification-Refractory Mutation System (ARMS) can already provide
 support for conservation measures.

title: Biogenic amines for individual and social learning

description: Individuals learn about their environment through personal observation or
 by observing their social conspecifics. The speed-accuracy trade-off
 associated with these two strategies results in two possible learning
 phenotypes – slow but more accurate individual learners and fast but more
 inaccurate social learners. While the costs and benefits of these
 different learning strategies are well known, we know much less about the
 possible neurophysiological mechanisms that underlie such cognitive
 variation. Neurotransmitters, based on their important role in driving
 cognitive differences in all taxa, are the most likely candidates that
 underlie the neurophysiological differences between these learning
 phenotypes. We measured individual honeybees for their performance on an
 individual and a social learning task followed by quantifying the
 concentrations of various neurotransmitters in their brains. Our results
 show that the two learning phenotypes and their accompanying differences
 in the speed-accuracy trade-off are consistently characterized by the
 opposite effects of an interaction between octopamine and serotonin and
 another between octopamine and glutamate. These findings challenge the
 general notion that social learning is simply an extension of individual
 learning and provide an important insight into the mechanistic
 underpinnings of the two different learning phenotypes and the
 neurophysiological mechanism that underlies slow-fast differences across
 taxa.

title: Evolutionary history and climate co-determine the geographical variation in pollination modes of angiosperms in China

description: Aim: Pollination is an essential stage of angiosperm reproduction and the
 mode of pollination plays a major role in driving evolutionary and
 ecological responses of plants to environmental changes. However, the
 effects of climate, evolutionary history and floral traits (i.e. plant
 sexual systems) on pollination mode variation remain unclear. Here, we
 explored the biogeographic patterns in pollination mode frequency, and
 tested the hypothesis that insect pollination prevails in warm humid
 regions with old floras due to high pollinator dependence, whereas wind
 pollination is more frequent in arid regions with younger floras and is
 more strongly associated with dioecy. Location: China Time period: Since
 the Last Glacial Maximum Major taxa studied: Angiosperms Methods: Using
 data on pollination modes and geographic ranges of 29,719 angiosperm
 species in China, we mapped the biogeographic pattern of pollination mode
 frequency. Phylogenetic logistic regressions and generalized linear mixed
 models were employed to evaluate the relative importance of climate,
 evolutionary history (represented by phylogenetic conservatism and
 grid-level mean genus age) and sexual systems on variations in pollination
 modes across species and space. Results: Evolutionary history was the
 strongest correlate of pollination mode variation across species and
 space. The proportion of insect-pollinated species was higher in warm
 humid regions with old floras, but lower in arid regions with young
 floras. Evolutionary history and temperature dominated variations
 in pollination mode frequency in warm humid areas, while precipitation
 dominated in arid areas. Climate mainly influenced geographic patterns in
 pollination mode frequency indirectly via its effects on species richness
 and plant sexual systems. Main conclusions: Our results showed that
 geographic pattern in angiosperm pollination mode frequency is dominated
 by evolutionary history followed by climate, which extended previous
 findings of climate-driven mechanisms. Our findings demonstrate the
 importance to incorporate evolutionary history in understanding the
 mechanisms underlying the functional biogeography of plant traits.

title: Thismia guangdongensis (Thismiaceae), a new mycoheterotrophic species from China

description: Thismia guangdongensis, a fully mycoheterotrophic plant collected from
 Guangdong Province, China, is proposed and described as a new species. It
 is assigned to Thismia subsect. Brunonithismia based on having free tepals
 distinctly dissimilar in shape and size, and by phylogenetic evidence
 based on molecular data. This new species is morphologically similar to T.
 breviappendiculata from southern Myanmar but is easily distinguished from
 the latter by its orange campanulate hypanthium, inner surface of
 hypanthium with orange transverse bars, and filiform appendage of the
 inner whorl of tepals. With a plastome 20,379 bp in length and only 14
 intact genes, the proposed new species has an extremely reduced plastome
 at the last stage of degradation, similar to most of the Thismia species
 previously studied.

title: Complex patterns shape immune genes diversity during invasion of common raccoon in Europe – selection in action despite genetic drift

description: Rapid adaptation is common in invasive populations and is crucial to their
 long-term success. The primary target of selection in the invasive
 species’ new range is standing genetic variation. Therefore, genetic drift
 and natural selection acting on existing variation are key evolutionary
 processes through which invaders will evolve over a short timescale. In
 this study, we used the case of the raccoon Procyon lotor invasion in
 Europe to identify the forces shaping the diversity of immune genes during
 invasion. The genes involved in the defence against infection should be
 under intense selection pressure in the invasive range where novel
 pathogens are expected to occur. To disentangle the selective and
 demographic processes shaping the adaptive immune diversity of its
 invasive and expanding populations, we have developed species-specific SNP
 markers located in the coding regions of targeted immune-related genes. We
 characterised the genetic diversity of 110 functionally important immune
 genes in two invasive and one native raccoon genetic clusters, each
 presenting a different demographic history. Despite the strong effect of
 demographic processes in the invasive clusters, we detected a subset of
 genes exhibiting the diversity pattern suggestive of selection. The most
 likely process shaping the variation in those genes was balancing
 selection. The selected genes belong to toll-like receptors and
 cytokine-related genes. Our results suggest that the prevalence of
 selection depends on the level of diversity, i.e. – less genetically
 diverse invasive population from Czech Republic displayed fewer signs of
 selection. Our results highlight the role of standing genetic variation in
 adapting to a new environment. Understanding the evolutionary mechanisms
 behind invasion success would enable predicting how populations may
 respond to environmental change.

title: Settling data of offshore corrosion protection coating particles under varying environmental conditions

description: Artificial marine structures are commonly built from steel and need protection against corrosion in the marine environment to maintain the structure's longevity. The most common corrosion protection method is the application of corrosion protection coatings made from epoxy resin and polyurethane on the steel surface. These corrosion protection coatings deteriorate, detach with time, and enter the marine environment as particle emissions, where they sink towards the seabed due to the negatively-buoyant characteristics of the used materials. In this study, the settling process is investigated in laboratory conditions for controlled samples of coating particles made from single-layer epoxy resin, single-layer polyurethane, and double-layer epoxy/polyurethane particles. The particles sank in still water, employing three different ambient salinities in an acrylic column. The effects of UV-weathering and biofilm on the particle's surface were additionally investigated, to better understand how exposure duration of the coatings to the marine environment might alter the settling dynamics. Separated by particle size and shape, terminal settling velocities and drag coefficients were determined for all particles used in the experiments.

title: eDNA metabarcoding reveals high soil fungal diversity and variation in community composition among Spanish cliffs

description: Environments characterized by physical extremes harbor unique species
 diversity with particular adaptations. Cliffs are harsh environments for
 organisms but host a great diversity of specialized plants with many
 endemics, rare and even endangered species. It is, however, less known
 which fungal diversity the cliff habitats contain and whether it differs
 among different cliff locations. We thus sampled soil from three separate
 cliff locations in the North, Centre and South of Spain and used eDNA
 metabarcoding to determine fungal diversity. To better understand whether
 cliff specialist plants may promote particular fungal communities, we have
 sampled soil from crevices with cliff specialist plants and no apparent
 plants as controls. Major lifestyles found in cliff soils were
 saprotrophs, and major fungal orders were Dothideomycetes,
 Sordariomycetes, and Eurotiomycetes, while the amount of symbiotrophic
 fungi was relatively low. We found no significant differences in fungal
 amplicon sequence variant (ASV) richness among the three sampled
 locations, but the sites were significantly different in their community
 composition and their main indicator species. Overall, there were no
 significant differences in fungal ASV richness or composition between
 soils from cliff specialist plants and soils without plants, suggesting a
 unique fungal diversity in cliff soils independent from specialized
 plants. However, preliminary findings on soils of the specialist cliff
 plant Sedum dasyphyllum against control soils suggest that the
 presence of a specialist plant may be a relevant factor affecting the
 specificity of the fungal community in cliff soils. Our results indicate
 the existence of particular cliff fungal communities in each location, and
 that, despite limited and poorly developed soils and harsh conditions,
 cliffs can harbor a great diversity of fungal species, comparable to other
 ecosystems of Spain. This study points out that some fungi may be
 cliff-specific, shaping particular communities that mediate plant
 adaptations to cliffs’ extreme conditions.
