title: Data from: Amphotericin B-conjugated polypeptide hydrogels as a novel innovative strategy for fungal infections

description: The present work is focused on design and development of novel
 Amphotericin B-conjugated biocompatible and biodegradable poly-peptide
 hydrogels to improve the antifungal activity. Using three kinds of
 promoting self-assembly groups (2-naphthalene acetic acid, Naproxen and
 Dexamethasone) and poly-peptide sequence (Phe-Phe-Asp-Lys-Tyr, FFDKY), we
 successfully synthesized the Nap-FFDK (AmB) Y gels, Npx-FFDK (AmB) Y gels
 and Dex-FFDK (AmB) Y gels. The Amphotericin B-conjugated hydrogelators are
 highly soluble in different aqueous solutions. The Cryo-transmission
 electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
 micrographs of hydrogels afford nanofibers with width of 20~50 nm. Powder
 X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analyses demonstrate that the crystalline
 structure of the AmB and Dex are changed into amorphous structure after
 formation of hydrogels. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra of the solution of
 blank carriers and the corresponding drug deliveries further help
 elucidate the molecular arrangement in gel phase, indicating the existence
 of turn features. The in vitro drug releases suggest that the Amphotericin
 B-conjugated hydrogels are suitable as drug-controlled release vehicles
 for hydrophobic drug. The antifungal effect of AmB-conjugated hydrogels
 significantly exhibits the antifungal activity against Candida albicans.
 The results of present study indicated that the Amphotericin B-conjugated
 hydrogels are suitable carriers for poorly water soluble drugs and for
 enhancement of therapeutic efficacy of antifungal drugs.

title: Data from: Male-limited secondary sexual trait interacts with environment in determining female fitness

description: Selection for secondary sexual traits (SSTs) elaboration may increase
 intralocus sexual conflict over the optimal values of traits expressed
 from shared genomes. This conflict can reduce female fitness, and the
 resulting gender load can be exacerbated by environmental stress, with
 consequences for a population’s ability to adapt to novel environments.
 However, how the evolution of SSTs interacts with environment in
 determining female fitness is not well understood. Here, we investigated
 this question using replicate lines of bulb mites selected for increased
 or decreased prevalence of a male SST—thickened legs used as weapons. The
 fitness of females from these lines was measured at a temperature to which
 the mites were adapted (24°C), as well as at two novel temperatures: 18°C
 and 28°C. We found the prevalence of the SST interacted with temperature
 in determining female fecundity. At 28°C, females from populations with
 high SST prevalence were less fecund than females from populations in
 which the SST was rare, but the reverse was true at 18°C. Thus, a novel
 environment does not universally depress female fitness more in
 populations with a high degree of sexually selected dimorphism. We discuss
 possible consequences of the interaction we detected for adaptation to
 novel environments.

title: Data from: Circumpolar diversity and geographic differentiation of mtDNA in the critically endangered Antarctic blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus intermedia)

description: The Antarctic blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus intermedia) was hunted to
 near extinction between 1904 and 1972, declining from an estimated initial
 abundance of more than 250,000 to fewer than 400. Here, we describe mtDNA
 control region diversity and geographic differentiation in the surviving
 population of the Antarctic blue whale, using 218 biopsy samples collected
 under the auspices of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) during
 research cruises from 1990–2009. Microsatellite genotypes and mtDNA
 sequences identified 166 individuals among the 218 samples and documented
 movement of a small number of individuals, including a female that
 traveled at least 6,650 km or 131° longitude over four years. mtDNA
 sequences from the 166 individuals were aligned with published sequences
 from 17 additional individuals, resolving 52 unique haplotypes from a
 consensus length of 410 bp. From this minimum census, a rarefaction
 analysis predicted that only 72 haplotypes (95% CL, 64, 86) have survived
 in the contemporary population of Antarctic blue whales. However,
 haplotype diversity was relatively high (0.968±0.004), perhaps as a result
 of the longevity of blue whales and the relatively recent timing of the
 bottleneck. Despite the potential for circumpolar dispersal, we found
 significant differentiation in mtDNA diversity (FST = 0.032,
 p&lt;0.005) and microsatellite alleles (FST = 0.005, p&lt;0.05)
 among the six Antarctic Areas historically used by the IWC for management
 of blue whales.

title: Data from: New sharks and other Chondrichthyans from the latest Maastrichtian (Late Cretaceous) of North America

description: Cretaceous aquatic ecosystems were amazingly diverse, containing most
 clades of extant aquatic vertebrates as well as an array of sharks and
 rays not present today. Here we report on the chondrichthyan fauna from
 the late Maastrichtian site that yielded the Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton
 FMNH PR 2081 (“SUE”). Significant among the recovered fauna is an
 unidentified species of carcharhinid shark that adds to the fossil record
 of this family in the Cretaceous, aligning with estimates from molecular
 evidence of clade originations. Additionally, a new orectolobiform shark,
 here named Galagadon nordquisti n. gen n. sp., is diagnosed on the basis
 on several autapomorphies from over two-dozen teeth. Common chondrichthyan
 species found at the ‘SUE’ locality include Lonchidion selachos and
 Myledaphus pustulosus. Two phylogenetic analyses (Maximum Parsimony and
 Bayesian Inference) based on twelve original dental character traits
 combined with 136 morphological traits from a prior study of 28 fossil and
 extant taxa, posited Galagadon in two distinct positions: as part of a
 clade inclusive of the fossil species Cretorectolobus olsoni and
 Cederstroemia triangulata plus extant orectolobids from the Maximum
 Parsimony analysis; and as the sister taxon to all extant hemiscyllids
 from the Bayesian Inference. Model-based biogeographical reconstructions
 based on both optimal trees suggest rapid island hopping-style dispersal
 from the Western Pacific to the Western Interior Seaway of North America
 where Galagadon lived. Alternatively, the next preferred model posits a
 broader, near-global distribution of Orectolobiformes with Galagadon
 dispersing into its geographic position from this large ancestral range.

title: Data from: The effect of habitat fragmentation on the bee visitor assemblages of three Australian tropical rainforest tree species

description: Tropical forest loss and fragmentation can change bee community dynamics,
 and potentially interrupt plant-pollinator relationships. While bee
 community responses to forest fragmentation have been investigated in a
 number of tropical regions, no studies have focused on this topic in
 Australia. In this study we examine taxonomic and functional diversity of
 bees visiting flowers of three tree species across small and large
 rainforest fragments in Australian tropical landscapes. We found lower
 taxonomic diversity of bees visiting flowers of trees in small rainforest
 fragments compared with large forest fragments, and show that bee species
 in small fragments were subsets of species in larger fragments. Bees
 visiting trees in small fragments also had higher mean body sizes than
 those in in larger fragments, suggesting that small-sized bees may be less
 likely to persist in small fragments. Lastly, we found reductions in the
 abundance of social stingless bees visiting flowers in small fragments
 compared to large fragments. These results suggest that pollinator visits
 to native trees living in small tropical forest remnants may be reduced,
 which, may in turn impact on a range of processes, potentially including
 forest regeneration and diversity maintenance in small forest remnants in
 Australian tropical countryside landscapes.

title: Data from: Activity patterns at the Arctic Circle: nocturnal eagle owls and interspecific interactions during continuous midsummer daylight

description: Circadian rhythms result from adaptations to biotic and abiotic
 environmental conditions that cycle through the day, such as light,
 temperature, or temporal overlap between interacting species. At high
 latitudes, close to or beyond the polar circles, uninterrupted midsummer
 daylight may pose a challenge to the circadian rhythms of otherwise
 nocturnal species, such as eagle owls Bubo bubo. By non‐invasive field
 methods, we studied eagle owl activity in light of their interactions with
 their main prey the water vole Arvicola amphibius, and their competitor
 the white‐tailed eagle Haliaeetus albicilla during continuous midsummer
 daylight on open, treeless islands in coastal Northern Norway. We
 evaluated circadian rhythms, temporal overlap, exposure, and spatial
 distribution. The owls maintained a nocturnal activity pattern, possibly
 because slightly dimmer light around midnight offered favourable hunting
 conditions. The eagles were active throughout the 24‐hour period as
 opposed to the strictly diurnal rhythm reported elsewhere, thus increasing
 temporal overlap and the potential for interference competition between
 the two avian predators. This may indicate an asymmetry, with the owls
 facing the highest cost of interference competition. The presence of
 eagles combined with constant daylight in this open landscape may make the
 owls vulnerable to interspecific aggression, and contrary to the available
 literature, eagle owls rarely exposed themselves visually during
 territorial calls, possibly to avoid detection by eagles. We found
 indications of spatial segregation between owls and eagles reflecting
 differences in main prey, possibly in combination with habitat‐mediated
 avoidance. Eagle owl vocal activity peaked in the evening before a
 nocturnal peak in visual observations, when owls were active hunting,
 consistent with the hypothesis of a dusk chorus in nocturnal bird species.
 The owls may have had to trade‐off between calling and foraging during the
 few hours around midnight when slightly dimmer light reduced the detection
 risk while also providing better hunting conditions.

title: Data from: Digitizing extant bat diversity: an open-access repository of 3D μCT-scanned skulls for research and education

description: Biological specimens are primary records of organismal ecology and
 history. As such, museum collections are invaluable repositories for
 testing ecological and evolutionary hypotheses across the tree of life.
 Digitizing and broadly sharing the phenotypic data from these collections
 serves to expand the traditional reach of museums, enabling widespread
 data sharing, collaboration, and education at an unprecedented scale. In
 recent years, μCT-scanning has been adopted as one way for efficiently
 digitizing museum specimens. Here, we describe a large repository of 3D,
 μCT-scanned images and surfaces of skulls from 359 extant species of bats,
 a highly diverse clade of modern vertebrates. This digital repository
 spans much of the taxonomic, biogeographic, and morphological diversity
 present across bats. All data have been published to the MorphoSource
 platform, an online database explicitly designed for the archiving of 3D
 morphological data. We demonstrate one potential use of this repository by
 testing for convergence in skull shape among one particularly diverse
 group of bats, the superfamily Noctilionoidea. Beyond its intrinsic
 utility to bat biologists, our digital specimens represent a resource for
 educators and for any researchers seeking to broadly test theories of
 trait evolution, functional ecology, and community assembly.

title: Data from: Is tropical montane forest heterogeneity promoted by a resource-driven feedback cycle? Evidence from nutrient relations, herbivory and litter decomposition along a topographical gradient

description: 1. Ridges of tropical mountains often differ strikingly from neighbouring
 ravines in terms of forest structure, productivity, and species
 composition. This heterogeneity is poorly understood despite its critical
 role in biodiversity maintenance, carbon and nutrient budgets. 2. We
 examined measures of tree biomass and productivity, foliage and litter
 quality (nutrient concentrations, specific leaf mass, phenolics),
 herbivory and leaf litter decomposition in each six plots laid out in
 upper and lower slope position in a tropical montane moist forest in
 southeastern Ecuador. 3. Productivity, quality of foliage and litter and
 herbivory were significantly lower in upper slope position and closely
 correlated with soil nutrient concentrations and accumulated humus. The
 decomposition of upper slope leaf litter (decomposition rate k) was
 substantially lower than in litter from lower slope forest, whereas the
 site of decomposition (slope position) only had a marginal effect on the
 decomposition rate. 4. Our results suggest that the differences in stand
 structure, productivity, foliar quality, herbivory and decomposition
 between slope positions are ultimately due to stronger nutrient
 limitations in upper slope forest. We propose a general conceptual model
 that explains origin and maintenance of contrasting forest types along
 topographical gradients through down-slope fluxes of nutrients and water,
 and a nutrient-driven positive feedback cycle.

title: Data from: Sex allocation theory for facultatively sexual organisms inhabiting seasonal environments: the importance of bet-hedging

description: Adaptive explanations for dormancy often invoke bet-hedging, where reduced
 mean fitness can be adaptive if it associates with reduced fitness
 variance. Sex allocation theory typically ignores variance effects and
 focuses on mean fitness. For many cyclical parthenogens, these themes
 become linked, as only sexually produced eggs undergo dormancy needed to
 survive harsh conditions. We ask how sex allocation and the timing of sex
 evolve when this constraint exists in the form of a trade-off between
 asexual reproduction and sexual production of dormant eggs — the former
 being crucial for within-season success, the latter for survival across
 seasons. We show that male production can be temporally separated from or
 co-occur with sex, depending on whether direct (time) or indirect
 (population density) cues of the season's end are available, and
 whether population growth is density-dependent. Sex generally occurs late
 in the season, but is induced earlier in unpredictable environments. When
 only indirect cues are available, the temporal spread of sex, and with it
 the production of dormant stages, is even larger, and given sufficient
 mortality leads to endogenous population cycles in which frequent sex
 coincides with high densities. In all scenarios, algorithms maximizing
 geometric mean fitness have reduced fitness variance compared to a
 hypothetical non-bet-hedger, confirming that the timing of male production
 and sex in facultative seasonal settings can be bet-hedging traits.
