title: Data from: Recent extinctions disturb path to equilibrium diversity in Caribbean bats

description: Islands are ideal systems to reconstruct changes in biodiversity and
 reveal the influence of humans on natural communities. While theory
 predicts biodiversity on islands tends towards equilibrium, the recent
 extinction of large proportions of island biotas complicates testing this
 model. The well-preserved subfossil record of Caribbean bats provides a
 rare opportunity to model diversity dynamics in an insular community. Here
 we reconstruct the diversity trajectory in noctilionoid bats of the
 Greater Antilles by applying a dynamic model of colonisation, extinction
 and speciation to phylogenetic and paleontological data. We show species
 richness asymptotes to an equilibrium value, demonstrating natural
 equilibrium dynamics across an entire community. However, recent
 extinctions have wiped out nearly a third of island lineages, dragging
 diversity away from equilibrium. Using a metric to measure island
 biodiversity loss, we estimate it will take at least eight million years
 to regain pre-human diversity levels. Our integrative approach reveals how
 anthropogenic extinctions can drastically alter the natural trajectory of
 biological communities.

title: Data from: Observations of migrant exchange and mixing in a coral reef fish metapopulation link scales of marine population connectivity

description: Much progress has been made toward understanding marine metapopulation
 dynamics, largely because of multilocus microsatellite surveys able to
 connect related individuals within the metapopulation. However, most
 studies are focused on small spatial scales, tens of kilometers, while
 demographic exchange at larger spatial scales remains poorly documented.
 Additionally, many small-scale demographic studies conflict with
 broad-scale phylogeographic patterns concerning levels of marine
 population connectivity, highlighting a need for data on more intermediate
 scales. Here, we investigated demographic recruitment processes of a
 commercially important coral reef fish, the bluespine unicornfish (Naso
 unicornis) using a suite of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and microsatellite
 markers. Sampling for this study ranged across the southern Marianas
 Islands, a linear distance of 250 km and included 386 newly settled
 postlarval recruits. In contrast with other studies, we report that
 cohorts of recruits were genetically homogeneous in space and time, with
 no evidence of temporally stochastic sweepstakes reproduction. The genetic
 diversity of recruits was high and commensurate with that of the adult
 population. In addition, there is substantial evidence that 2 recruits,
 separated by 250 km, were full siblings. This is the largest direct
 observation of dispersal to date for a coral reef fish. All indications
 suggest that subpopulations of N. unicornis experience high levels of
 demographic migrant exchange and metapopulation mixing on a spatial scale
 of hundreds of kilometers, consistent with high levels of broad-scale
 genetic connectivity previously reported in this species.

title: Data from: Experimental evolution under fluctuating thermal conditions does not reproduce patterns of adaptive clinal differentiation in Drosophila melanogaster

description: Experimental evolution can be a useful tool for testing the impact of
 environmental factors on adaptive changes in populations, and this
 approach is being increasingly used to understand the potential for
 evolutionary responses in populations under changing climates. However in
 natural populations selective factors will often be more complex than in
 laboratory environments and produce different patterns of adaptive
 differentiation. Here we test the ability for laboratory experimental
 evolution under different temperature cycles to reproduce well-known
 patterns of clinal variation in Drosophila melanogaster. Six fluctuating
 thermal regimes mimicking the natural temperature conditions along the
 east coast of Australia were initiated. Contrary to expectations based on
 field patterns there was no evidence for adaptation to thermal regimes as
 reflected by changes in cold and heat resistance following 1-3 years of
 laboratory natural selection. While laboratory evolution led to changes in
 starvation resistance, development time and body size, patterns were not
 consistent with those seen in natural populations. These findings
 highlight the complexity of factors affecting trait evolution in natural
 populations and indicate that caution is required when inferring likely
 evolutionary responses from the outcome of experimental evolution studies.

title: Data from: Grasshopper mice employ distinct vocal production mechanisms in different social contexts

description: Functional changes in vocal organ morphology and motor control facilitate
 the evolution of acoustic signal diversity. Although many rodents produce
 vocalizations in a variety of social contexts, few studies have explored
 the underlying production mechanisms. Here, we describe mechanisms of
 audible and ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) produced by grasshopper mice
 (genus Onychomys). Grasshopper mice are predatory rodents of the desert
 that produce both loud, long-distance advertisement calls and USVs in
 close-distance mating contexts. Using live-animal recording in normal air
 and heliox, laryngeal and vocal tract morphological investigations, and
 biomechanical modelling, we found that grasshopper mice employ two
 distinct vocal production mechanisms. In heliox, changes in
 higher-harmonic amplitudes of long-distance calls indicate an
 airflow-induced tissue vibration mechanism, whereas changes in fundamental
 frequency of USVs support a whistle mechanism. Vocal membranes and a thin
 lamina propria aid in the production of long-distance calls by increasing
 glottal efficiency and permitting high frequencies, respectively. In
 addition, tuning of fundamental frequency to the second resonance of a
 bell-shaped vocal tract increases call amplitude. Our findings indicate
 that grasshopper mice can dynamically adjust motor control to suit the
 social context and have novel morphological adaptations that facilitate
 long-distance communication.

title: Data from: A local evaluation of the individual state-space to scale up Bayesian spatial capture recapture

description: 1. Spatial capture-recapture models (SCR) are used to estimate animal
 density and to investigate a range of problems in spatial ecology that
 cannot be addressed with traditional non-spatial methods. Bayesian
 approaches in particular offer tremendous flexibility for SCR modelling.
 Increasingly, SCR data are being collected over very large spatial extents
 making analysis computational intensive, sometimes prohibitively so. 2. To
 mitigate the computational burden of large-scale SCR models, we developed
 an improved formulation of the Bayesian SCR model that uses local
 evaluation of the individual state-space (LESS). Based on prior knowledge
 about a species’ home range size, we created square evaluation windows
 that restrict the spatial domain in which an individual’s detection
 probability (detector window) and activity center location (AC window) are
 estimated. We used simulations and empirical data analyses to assess the
 performance and bias of SCR with LESS. 3. LESS produced unbiased estimates
 of SCR parameters when the AC window width was ≥5σ (σ: the scale parameter
 of the half-normal detection function), and when the detector window
 extended beyond the edge of the AC window by 2σ. Importantly, LESS
 considerably decreased the computation time needed for fitting SCR models.
 In our simulations, LESS increased the computation speed of SCR models up
 to 57 fold. We demonstrate the power of this new approach by mapping the
 density of an elusive large carnivore – the wolverine (Gulo gulo) – with
 an unprecedented resolution and across the species’ entire range in Norway
 (more than 200 000 km2). 4. Our approach helps overcome a major
 computational obstacle to population and landscape-level SCR analyses. The
 LESS implementation in a Bayesian framework makes the customization and
 fitting of SCR accessible for practitioners that are working at scales
 that are relevant for conservation and management.

title: Data from: Luminance-dependent visual processing enables moth flight in low light

description: Animals must operate under an enormous range of light intensities.
 Nocturnal and twilight flying insects are hypothesized to compensate for
 dim conditions by integrating light over longer times. This slowing of
 visual processing would increase light sensitivity but should also reduce
 movement response times. Using freely hovering moths tracking robotic
 moving flowers, we showed that the moth’s visual processing does slow in
 dim light. These longer response times are consistent with models of how
 visual neurons enhance sensitivity at low light intensities, but they
 could pose a challenge for moths feeding from swaying flowers.
 Dusk-foraging moths avoid this sensorimotor tradeoff; their nervous
 systems slow down but not so much as to interfere with their ability to
 track the movements of real wind-blown flowers.

title: Data from: Orientation of native versus translocated juvenile Lesser Spotted Eagles (Clanga pomarina) on the first autumn migration

description: The ontogeny of migration routines used by wild birds remains unresolved.
 Here we investigated the migratory orientation of juvenile lesser spotted
 eagles (LSE) (Clanga pomarina) based on translocation and satellite
 tracking. Between 2004 and 2016, 85 second-hatched juveniles (Abels) were
 reared in captivity for release into the declining German population,
 including 50 birds that were translocated 940 km from Latvia. In 2009, we
 tracked 12 translocated juveniles, as well as 8 native juveniles and 9
 native adults, to determine how inexperienced birds come to use strategic
 migration routes. Native juveniles departed around the same time as the
 adults and 6 of 8 used the eastern flyway around the Mediterranean, which
 was used by all adults. In contrast, translocated juveniles departed on
 average 6 days before native LSEs, and 5 traveled southward and died in
 the central Mediterranean region. Consequently fewer translocated
 juveniles (4/12) than native juveniles (7/8) reached Africa. We conclude
 that juvenile LSEs have a much better chance of learning the strategic
 southeastern flyway if they leave at an appropriate time to connect with
 experienced elders upon departure. It is not clear why translocated
 juveniles departed so early. Regardless, by the end of the year, most
 juveniles had perished, whether they were translocated (10/12) or not
 (6/8). The small number of surviving translocated juveniles thus still
 represents a significant increase in the annual productivity of the German
 LSE population in 2009.

title: Data from: Climatic warming and the future of bison as grazers

description: Climatic warming is likely to exacerbate nutritional stress and reduce
 weight gain in large mammalian herbivores by reducing plant nutritional
 quality. Yet accurate predictions of the effects of climatic warming on
 herbivores are limited by a poor understanding of how herbivore diet
 varies along climate gradients. We utilized DNA metabarcoding to
 reconstruct seasonal variation in the diet of North American bison (Bison
 bison) in two grasslands that differ in mean annual temperature by 6 °C.
 Here, we show that associated with greater nutritional stress in warmer
 climates, bison consistently consumed fewer graminoids and more shrubs and
 forbs, i.e. eudicots. Bison in the warmer grassland consumed a lower
 proportion of C3 grass, but not a greater proportion of C4 grass. Instead,
 bison diet in the warmer grassland had a greater proportion of N2-fixing
 eudicots, regularly comprising &gt;60% of their protein intake in
 spring and fall. Although bison have been considered strict grazers, as
 climatic warming reduces grass protein concentrations, bison may have to
 attempt to compensate by grazing less and browsing more. Promotion of
 high-protein, palatable eudicots or increasing the protein concentrations
 of grasses will be critical to minimizing warming-imposed nutritional
 stress for bison and perhaps other large mammalian herbivores.

title: Data from: Odd couples: extraordinary differences between the sexes in the animal kingdom.

description: Introducing readers to important discoveries in animal behavior and
 evolution, Odd Couples explores some of the most extraordinary sexual
 differences in the animal world and shows how all can be understood
 through the common conceptual framework of evolutionary biology. The book
 uncovers the unique and bizarre characteristics—in size, behavior,
 ecology, and life history—that exist in these remarkable species and the
 special strategies they use to maximize reproductive success. Eight
 chapters highlight individual species with exceptional sexual dimorphisms,
 including elephant seals (Mirounga sp.), great bustards (Otis tarda),
 shell-carrying cichlids (Lamprologus callipterus), deep-sea anglerfishes
 (Ceratias holboelli), garden spiders (Argiope aurantia), bone-eating worms
 (Osedax sp.), blanket octopuses (Tremoctopus sp.) and burrowing barnacles
 (Trypetesa lampas). In addition, two synthesis chapters use data from all
 known animal phyla and classes to discern overall trends and patterns of
 sexual differences, providing the first broad-scale, quantitative analysis
 of sexual dimorphisms across the entire Animal Kingdom.

title: Data from: Predicting the genetic impact of stocking in Brook Charr (Salvelinus fontinalis) by combining RAD sequencing and modeling of explanatory variables

description: In fisheries management, intensive stocking programs are commonly used to
 enhance population abundance and maintain stock productivity. However,
 such practices are increasingly raising concerns since multiple studies
 documented adverse genetic and evolutionary impacts of stocking on wild
 populations. Improvement of stocking management relies on a better
 understanding of the dynamic of introgressive hybridization between wild
 and domestic population and on assessment of the genetic state of wild
 populations after stocking cessation. In Québec, Canada, over five million
 captive reared Brook Charr (Salvelinus fontinalis) are stocked every year
 to support recreational fishing activities. Here we investigated how
 variation in stocking history and environmental variables, including water
 temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen, may influence the impact of stocking
 practices on the genetic integrity of wild Brook Charr populations. We
 collected DNA samples (n = 862, average of 30 individuals per lake) from
 29 lakes that underwent different stocking intensity through time and also
 collected environmental parameters for each sampled lake. An average of
 4580 high quality filtered SNPs was obtained for each population using
 Genotyping-By-Sequencing (GBS) which were then used to quantify the mean
 domestic membership of each sampled population. An exhaustive process of
 model selection was conducted to obtain a best-fitted model that explained
 56% of the variance observed in mean domestic genetic membership. The
 number of years since the mean year of stocking was the best explanatory
 variable to predict variation in mean domestic genetic membership whereas
 environmental characteristics had little influence on observed patterns of
 admixture. Our model predictions also revealed that each sampled wild
 population could potentially return to a wild genetic state (absence of
 domestic genetic background) after stocking cessation. Overall, our study
 provides new insights on factors determining level of introgressive
 hybridization and suggests that stocking impacts could be reversible with
 time.
