title: Data from: The environmental determinants of total evaporative water loss in birds at multiple temperatures

description: Endotherms dissipate heat to the environment to maintain a stable body
 temperature at high ambient temperatures, which requires them to maintain
 a balance between heat dissipation and water conservation. Birds are
 relatively small, contain a large amount of metabolically expensive
 tissue, and are mostly diurnal, making them susceptible to physiological
 challenges related to water balance and heat dissipation. We compiled
 total evaporative water loss (TEWL) measurements for 172 species of birds
 exposed to different temperatures and used comparative methods to examine
 their relationships with body size, ambient temperature, precipitation,
 diet, and diel activity cycle. TEWL in the thermoneutral zone (TNZ) was
 associated primarily with body mass and activity phase. Larger and more
 active-phase birds, with their higher metabolic rates, lost more water
 through evaporation than smaller, resting-phase birds, particularly at
 higher thermal exposures. However, maximum temperature of the
 natural habitat became an important determinant of TEWL when birds were
 exposed to temperatures exceeding the TNZ. Species from hotter climates
 exhibited higher TEWL. Adaptation to arid climates did not restrict
 evaporative water loss at thermal conditions within the TNZ, but promoted
 evaporative water loss at exposures above the TNZ. The TEWL of granivores,
 which ingest food with low water content, differed little from species
 with other food habitats under all thermal conditions. The effects of
 environmental covariates of TEWL was dissimilar across thermal exposures,
 suggesting no evidence for a trade-off between water conservation in the
 TNZ and heat dissipation at exposure to higher temperatures. Thus, birds
 may be able to acclimate when climate change results in the need to
 increase heat dissipation due to warming, except perhaps in hot, arid
 environments where species will need to depend heavily upon evaporative
 cooling to maintain homeothermy.

title: Changes in key traits versus depth and latitude suggest energy-efficient locomotion, opportunistic feeding and light lead to adaptive morphologies of marine fishes.

description: 1. Understanding patterns and processes governing biodiversity along
 broad-scale environmental gradients, such as depth or latitude, requires
 an assessment of not just taxonomic richness, but also morphological and
 functional traits of organisms. Studies of traits can help to identify
 major selective forces acting on morphology. Currently, little is known
 regarding patterns of variation in the traits of fishes at broad spatial
 scales. 2. The aims of this study were: (i) to identify a suite of key
 traits in marine fishes that would allow assessment of morphological
 variability across broad-scale depth (50 – 1200 m) and latitudinal (29.15
 – 50.91°S) gradients; and (ii) to characterise patterns in these traits
 across depth and latitude for 144 species of ray-finned fishes in New
 Zealand waters. 3. Here, we describe three new morphological traits:
 namely, fin-base-to-perimeter ratio, jaw-length-to-mouth-width ratio, and
 pectoral-fin-base-to-body-depth ratio. Four other morphological traits
 essential for locomotion and food acquisition that are commonly measured
 in fishes were also included in the study. Spatial ecological
 distributions of individual fish species were characterised in response to
 a standardised replicated sampling design and morphological measurements
 were obtained for each species from preserved museum specimens. 4. With
 increasing depth, fishes, on average, became larger and more elongate,
 with higher fin-base-to-perimeter ratio and larger
 jaw-length-to-mouth-width ratio, all of which translates into a more
 eel-like anguilliform morphology. Variation in mean trait values along the
 depth gradient was stronger at lower latitudes for fin-base-to-perimeter
 ratio, elongation and total body length. Average eye size peaked at
 intermediate depths (500-700 m) and increased with increasing latitude at
 700 m. 5. These findings suggest that, in increasingly extreme
 environments, fish morphology shifts towards a body shape that favours an
 energy-efficient undulatory swimming style and an increase in jaw-length
 versus mouth width for opportunistic feeding. Furthermore, increases in
 eye size with both depth and latitude indicate that changes in both the
 average ambient light conditions as well as seasonal variations in
 day-length can act to select ecomorphological adaptations in fishes.

title: Compilation and recalculation of Cretaceous-Miocene intrusive igneous crystallization geochronology from the northern Rocky Mountains, Montana and Idaho, USA

description: This dataset presents a recalculated compilation of geochronology ages of Cretaceous-Miocene intrusive rocks and volcanic plugs in the northern Rocky Mountains USA, with a focus on Montana and Idaho. Mineral assessments and prospectivity mapping requires detailed spatiotemporal understanding of magma systems in the upper crust to predict when and where ore deposits may have formed. However, legacy geochronology data from various stakeholders may be stored in disparate databases and in formats and calculations that are not comparable. These igneous bodies are commonly regionally associated with significant mineral deposits, including porphyry copper, replacement tungsten-silver deposits and polymetallic mineralization of precious metals including gold and silver.

Samples selected were dated with U-Pb zircon TIMS, LA-ICPMS, SIMS (or SHRIMP), K-Ar and Ar-Ar geochronology. We excluded Rb-Sr, and fission track zircon and apatite geochronology from the data set because (1) the low closure temperature of these system can be affected by thermal perturbations associated with regional tectonics and (2) these systematics are readily reset during hydrothermal alteration. In both cases, it is highly likely that those systematics may yield dates inaccurate to initial crystallization. An attempt was made to preserve as much data as possible, but some samples were excluded because no uncertainties were reported. In order to ensure that this database was internally comparable, we recalculated the data so that all samples of individual isotope systems used the same decay constants, parental isotope compositions, the same monitor mineral values (when applicable), and finally included propagation of uncertainty associated with decay constant uncertainties. This compilation should be a robust data layer for the study of the distribution in time and space of a variety of different mineral systems within the region.

title: Facile preparation of high conductive silver electrodes by dip-coating followed by quick sintering

description: With polyol-synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as raw materials, the
 silver electrodes with high conductivity were fabricated via dip-coating
 method followed by sintering process, and the effects of dip-coating and
 sintering process on the conductivity and surface roughness of silver
 electrodes were investigated in detail. The silver film with a thickness
 of 1.97 μm and a roughness of about 2 nm can be prepared after dip-coated
 at a pulling rate of 500 μm·s-1 for 40 coating times. The non-conductive
 dip-coated silver films are transformed into conductive silver electrodes
 after conventional sintering in muffle oven, infrared sintering and
 microwave sintering, respectively. Compared with high sintering
 temperature and long sintering time of conventional sintering and infrared
 sintering, microwave sintering can achieve the quick sintering of silver
 films to fabricate high conductive silver electrodes. The silver
 electrodes with a sheet resistance of 0.75 Ω·sq-1 and a surface roughness
 of less than 1 nm can be obtained after microwave-sintered at 500 W for 50
 s. The adjustable dip-coating method followed by quick microware sintering
 is an appropriate approach to prepare high conductive AgNPs based
 electrodes for organic light-emitting diode (OLED) or other devices.

title: Estimating uncertainty in divergence times among three-spined stickleback clades using the multispecies coalescent

description: Incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) can lead to biased divergence time
 estimates. To explore if and how ILS has influenced the results of a
 recent study of worldwide phylogeny of three-spined sticklebacks
 (Gasterosteus aculeatus), we estimated divergence times among major clades
 by applying both a concatenation approach and the multispecies coalescent
 (MSC) model to single-nucleotide polymorphisms. To further test the
 influence of different calibration strategies, we applied different
 calibrations to the root and to younger nodes in addition to the ones used
 in the original study. Both the updated calibrations and the application
 of the MSC model influenced divergence time estimates, sometimes
 significantly. The new divergence time estimates were more ancient than in
 the previous study for older nodes, whereas the estimates of younger nodes
 were not strongly affected by the re-analyses. However, given the applied
 MSC method employs a simple substitution model and cannot account for
 changes in population size, we suggest that different analytical
 approaches and calibration strategies should be used in order to explore
 uncertainty in divergence time estimates. This study provides a valuable
 reference timeline for the ages of worldwide three-spined stickleback
 populations and emphasizes the need to embrace, rather than obscure,
 uncertainties around divergence time estimates.

title: Data from: Hearing-aid adoption in Northern and Southern Germany

description: On an international level, estimates of the prevalence of hearing loss are
 often based on the criterion of the world health organization (WHO), but
 other criteria have also been applied. Both the prevalence of hearing loss
 and the number of hearing-aid fittings can be used to estimate the
 adoption rate, which is often regarded as being in need of improvement. To
 illustrate the effect of the prevalence criteria on the assessments,
 epidemiological data for hearing abilities in Oldenburg, Emden, and Aalen
 were used. The criteria were either based on the pure-tone audiogram, on
 speech recognition in noise, or on the subjective indication of hearing
 difficulties. The results showed a strong dependency of the adoption rate
 on the prevalence criterion. Criteria based on speech recognition in noise
 led to very high prevalence, but low adoption rates. Age-independent
 analysis resulted in similar adoption rates of approx. 25% for subjective
 hearing difficulties, for the common WHO criterion, and for the
 four-frequency-table of Röser. However, age-dependent analysis revealed
 large differences between the subjective indication and the criteria based
 on pure-tone audiometry. Overall, statements regarding the prevalence of
 hearing impairment and rate of hearing-aid adoption should always include
 the applicable criterion, and should either be viewed as age-dependent, or
 related to a standard population.

title: Data from: An alternative interpretation of the Paleogene turtle Cardichelyon rogerwoodi as a hinged kinosternoid

description: Cardichelyon rogerwoodi is an enigmatic fossil turtle from the late
 Paleocene to early Eocene of North America. Previous analyses suggested
 affiliation with Testudinoidea, in particular the big-headed turtle
 Platysternon megacephalum, based on the presence of multiple musk-duct
 foramina and a large head. We here highlight previously undocumented
 characteristics for this turtle, notably the presence of short costiform
 processes, a rib-like axillary process, and a posterior plastral hinge.
 Phylogenetic analysis places Cardichelyon rogerwoodi within Testudinoidea
 but the exclusion of testudinoids suggest an affiliation with
 Dermatemydidae. Using consilience with external data we favor placement
 within Kinosternoidea. Cardichelyon rogerwoodi is therefore an aberrant,
 hinged kinosternoid that developed in situ in North America during the
 Paleocene long before the arrival of testudinoids on this continent in the
 early Eocene.

title: Geographical and temporal variation of multiple paternity in invasive mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki, Gambusia affinis)

description: Multiple paternity (MP) increases offspring’s genetic variability, which
 could be linked to invasive species’ evolvability in novel distribution
 ranges. Shifts in MP can be adaptive, with greater MP in harsher/colder
 environments or towards the end of the reproductive season, but climate
 could also affect MP indirectly via its effect on reproductive life
 histories. We tested these hypotheses by genotyping N = 2,903 offspring
 from N = 306 broods of two closely related livebearing fishes, Gambusia
 holbrooki and Gambusia affinis. We sampled pregnant females across
 latitudinal gradients in their invasive ranges in Europe and China, and
 found more sires per brood and a greater reproductive skew towards
 northern sampling sites. Moreover, examining monthly sampling from two G.
 affinis populations, we found MP rates to vary across the reproductive
 season in a northern Chinese, but not in a southern Chinese population.
 While our results confirm an increase of MP in harsher/more unpredictable
 environments, path analysis indicated that, in both cases, the effects of
 climate are likely to be indirect, mediated by altered life histories. In
 both species, which rank amongst the 100 most invasive species worldwide,
 higher MP at the northern edge of their distribution likely increases
 their invasive potential and favours range expansions, especially in light
 of the predicted temperature increases due to global climate changes.

title: The cost and benefit of quorum sensing controlled bacteriocin production in Lactobacillus plantarum

description: Bacteria eliminate competitors via ‘chemical warfare’ with bacteriocins.
 Some species appear to adjust bacteriocin production conditionally in
 response to the social environment. We tested whether variation in the
 cost and benefit of producing bacteriocins could explain such conditional
 behaviour, in the bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum. We found that: (1)
 bacterial bacteriocin production could be upregulated by either the
 addition of a synthetic autoinducer peptide (PLNC8IF; signalling
 molecule), or by a plasmid which constitutively encodes for the production
 of this peptide; (2) bacteriocin production is costly, leading to reduced
 growth when grown in poor and, to a lesser extent, in rich media; (3)
 bacteriocin production provides a fitness advantage, when grown in
 competition with sensitive strains; (4) the fitness benefits provided by
 bacteriocin production is greater at higher cell densities. These results
 show how the costs and benefits of upregulating bacteriocin production can
 depend upon abiotic and biotic conditions.

title: Evaluating the boundaries of marine biogeographic regions of the Southwestern Atlantic using halacarid mites (Halacaridae), meiobenthic organisms with a low dispersal potential

description: Aim We evaluated traditional biogeographic boundaries of coastal marine
 regions in SW Atlantic using DNA sequence data from common, rocky-shore
 inhabiting, marine mites of the genera Agauopsis and Rhombognathus, family
 Halacaridae. Methods We investigated geographic population genetic
 structure using CO1 gene sequences, estimated divergence times using a
 multigene dataset and absolute time-calibrated molecular clock analyses,
 and performed environmental niche modeling (ENM) of common marine mite
 species. Results Agauopsis legionium has a shallow history (2.01 Ma) with
 four geographically differentiated groups. Two of them corresponded to the
 traditional Amazonian and Northeastern ecoregions, but the boundary
 between the two other groups was inferred at the Abrolhos Plateau, not
 Cabo Frio. Rhombognathus levigatoides s. lat. was represented by two
 cryptic species that diverged 7.22 (multilocus data) or 10.01 Ma (CO1-only
 analyses), with their boundary, again at the Abrolhos Plateau. ENM showed
 that A. legionium has suitable habitats scattered along the coast, while
 the two R. levigatoides cryptic species differ considerably in their
 niches, especially in parameters related to upwelling. This indicates that
 genetic isolation associated with the Abrolhos Plateau occurred in both
 lineages, but for the R. levigatoides species complex, ecological niche
 specialization was also an important factor. Main conclusions Our study
 suggests that the major biogeographic boundary in the Southwestern
 Atlantic lies not at Cabo Frio but at the Abrolhos Plateau. There, two
 biogeographically relevant factors meet: (i) changes in current directions
 (which limit dispersal) and (ii) abrupt changes in environmental
 parameters associated with the South Atlantic Central Waters (SACW)
 upwelling (offering distinct ecological niches). We suggest that our
 result represents a general biogeographic pattern because a barrier at the
 Abrolhos Plateau was found previously for the fish genus Macrodon
 (phylogeographic data), prosobranch mollusks, ascidians, and reef fishes
 (community-level data).
