title: Data from: Infrastructure features outperform environmental variables explaining rabbit abundance around motorways

description: Human disturbance is widespread across landscapes in the form of roads
 that alter wildlife populations. Knowing which road features are
 responsible for the species response and their relevance in comparison
 with environmental variables will provide useful information for effective
 conservation measures. We sampled relative abundance of European rabbits,
 a very widespread species, in motorway verges at regional scale, in an
 area with large variability in environmental and infrastructure
 conditions. Environmental variables included vegetation structure, plant
 productivity, distance to water sources, and altitude. Infrastructure
 characteristics were the type of vegetation in verges, verge width,
 traffic volume, and the presence of embankments. We performed a variance
 partitioning analysis to determine the relative importance of two sets of
 variables on rabbit abundance. Additionally, we identified the most
 important variables and their effects model averaging after model
 selection by AICc on hypothesis-based models. As a group, infrastructure
 features explained four times more variability in rabbit abundance than
 environmental variables, being the effects of the former critical in
 motorway stretches located in altered landscapes with no available habitat
 for rabbits, such as agricultural fields. Model selection and Akaike
 weights showed that verge width and traffic volume are the most important
 variables explaining rabbit abundance index, with positive and negative
 effects, respectively. In the light of these results, the response of
 species to the infrastructure can be modulated through the modification of
 motorway features, being some of them manageable in the design phase. The
 identification of such features leads to suggestions for improvement
 through low-cost corrective measures and conservation plans. As a general
 indication, keeping motorway verges less than 10 m wide will prevent high
 densities of rabbits and avoid the unwanted effects that rabbit
 populations can generate in some areas.

title: Data from: Lizards paid a greater opportunity cost to thermoregulate in a less heterogeneous environment

description: The theory of thermoregulation has developed slowly, hampering efforts to
 predict how individuals can buffer climate change through behaviour. Mixed
 results of field and laboratory experiments underscore the need to test
 hypotheses about thermoregulation explicitly, while measuring costs and
 benefits in different thermal landscapes. We simulated body temperature
 and energy expenditure of a virtual lizard that either thermoregulates
 optimally or thermoconforms in a landscape of either low or high quality
 (one or four basking sites, respectively). We then compare the predicted
 values in each landscape with the observed values for real lizards in
 experimental arenas. Lizards thermoregulated more accurately in the
 high-quality landscape than they did on the low-quality landscape, albeit
 only slightly so, but spent similar amounts of energy in these landscapes.
 Basking, rather than shuttling between heat sources, accounted for the
 majority of the energy consumed in both landscapes. These results did not
 support the predictions of our model. In the low-quality landscape, real
 lizards thermoregulated intensely despite the potential to save energy by
 thermoconforming. In the high-quality landscape, lizards moved more than
 expected, suggesting that lizards explored their surroundings despite
 being able to thermoregulate without doing so. Our results suggest that
 non-energetic benefits drive thermoregulatory behaviour in costly
 environments, despite the missed opportunities arising from
 thermoregulation. We propose that energetic costs associated with
 thermoregulatory movement will become substantial in homogeneous
 environments such as flat plains and dense forests. The theory of
 thermoregulation should incorporate these aspects if biologists wish to
 predict responses of ectotherms to changing climates and habitats.

title: Data from: Do agri-environment schemes result in improved water quality?

description: Improved water quality, through a reduction in diffuse pollution from
 agricultural sources, is an expected benefit of agri-environment schemes,
 but this has yet to be demonstrated in practice. Here, we evaluate the
 impact of Welsh agri-environment schemes on water quality and freshwater
 ecosystem condition through a combined monitoring and modelling framework.
 To determine the influence of the agri-environment schemes on ecosystem
 condition, spatially independent catchments dominated by a single scheme
 (&gt;40% of catchment) were compared to control catchments dominated
 (&gt;70%) by agricultural land that was not part of any scheme.
 Biological indicators of water quality were monitored at the outfall of
 each catchment and a spatially explicit modelling framework of diffuse
 pollutant emissions applied to each of the 80 catchments. Direct
 comparison (scheme/non-scheme) was unable to identify any significant
 effect of agri-environment scheme participation. However, derived
 biological indicators that reflected organic pollution, eutrophication and
 pesticide run-off were strongly correlated with modelled concentrations of
 corresponding diffuse pollutants, thus providing a ground-truth for the
 models. Scenarios that assessed the correct counterfactuals (i.e. the
 influence of scheme entry on pollutant output) were developed for the
 whole of Wales. The models indicated an important effect of scheme entry
 on water quality, but this effect was not evenly distributed across the
 landscape. Synthesis and applications. Our results indicate that
 agri-environment schemes can deliver improvements in water quality,
 through a reduction in diffuse pollution from agricultural sources.
 However, it is not easy to demonstrate scheme effectiveness; the
 combination of field survey and modelling used here provides a framework
 for addressing these difficulties. A spatially targeted approach for
 agri-environment scheme options to protect water resources from diffuse
 pollution is likely to be most effective at delivering water quality
 improvements.

title: Data from: The effect of bioturbation by polychaetes (Opheliidae) on benthic foraminiferal assemblages and test preservation

description: Biological activity such as burrowing can alter benthic foraminiferal
 shell preservation and may also modify benthic foraminiferal assemblages
 by vertical mixing, inducing sediment homogenization. Here, we analyse
 benthic foraminiferal assemblages and taphonomy of upper Miocene marine
 deposits from Conil de la Frontera (Cádiz, south-western Spain). The
 deposits consist of marls displaying a pervasive alternation of
 intensively bioturbated beds dominated by Macaronichnus segregatis traces
 (ichnofabric index 4–5) and non-bioturbated beds. Benthic foraminiferal
 assemblages are dominated by Cibicidoides mundulus and Cibicides
 refulgens, indicating that the marls were deposited on an oligotrophic,
 well-oxygenated upper slope. The impact of burrowing on the preservation
 of benthic foraminiferal tests was tested using Q-mode cluster analysis,
 which found two well-differentiated groups of samples, one including the
 non-bioturbated beds and the other encompassing the bioturbated ones.
 Fragmentation and recrystallization account for the differentiation of
 these groups, both being higher in the bioturbated sediments. Aggressive
 chemical digestion by the Macaronichnus trace-makers, assumed to be a
 polychaete worm of the family Opheliidae, etched the microfossil shells,
 making them more vulnerable to fragmentation. Intense bioturbation
 favoured the circulation of pore fluids, encouraging recrystallization.
 Pervasive burrowing resulted in significant vertical reworking of
 microfossils. As a consequence, benthic foraminiferal assemblages in the
 bioturbated beds were homogenized in the mixed layer; that is, the
 uppermost layer of the substrate totally burrowed. The alternation of
 bioturbated and non-bioturbated beds reflects episodic transfer of food
 particles down slope from shallower parts of the shelf as well as from the
 continent due to storms under otherwise homogeneous oligotrophic marine
 conditions.

title: Data from: Short-term benefits, but transgenerational costs of maternal loss in an insect with facultative maternal care

description: A lack of parental care is generally assumed to entail substantial fitness
 costs for offspring that ultimately select for the maintenance of family
 life across generations. However, it is unknown whether these costs arise
 when parental care is facultative, thus questioning their fundamental
 importance in the early evolution of family life. Here, we investigated
 the short-term, long-term and transgenerational effects of maternal loss
 in the European earwig Forficula auricularia, an insect with facultative
 post-hatching maternal care. We showed that maternal loss did not
 influence the developmental time and survival rate of juveniles, but
 surprisingly yielded adults of larger body and forceps size, two traits
 associated with fitness benefits. In a cross-breeding/cross-fostering
 experiment, we then demonstrated that maternal loss impaired the
 expression of maternal care in adult offspring. Interestingly, the
 resulting transgenerational costs were not only mediated by the early-life
 experience of tending mothers, but also by inherited,
 parent-of-origin-specific effects expressed in juveniles. Orphaned females
 abandoned their juveniles for longer and fed them less than
 maternally-tended females, while foster mothers defended juveniles of
 orphaned females less well than juveniles of maternally-tended females.
 Overall, these findings reveal the key importance of transgenerational
 effects in the early evolution of family life.

title: Data from: Reclamation strategies for mined forest soils and overstorey drive understorey vegetation

description: 1. Understorey vegetation accounts for the majority of plant diversity in
 forest ecosystems and contributes to ecosystem functioning. In restoration
 of degraded forested ecosystems, however, understorey vegetation is often
 restored passively, contrasting to clear strategies such as informed
 species choice and site improvement intervention for overstorey
 vegetation. The choice of overstorey-centered restoration strategy may
 have important consequences for understorey vegetation. 2. We examined the
 effects of substrate material, overstorey type and time since reclamation
 (age) on understorey vegetation following reclamation of oil sands mining
 in Alberta, Canada. We sampled cover, richness, evenness and composition
 of understorey vegetation at 94 sites of conifer, mixedwood and broadleaf
 overstorey types on three reclamation substrates (overburden, secondary
 overburden and tailings sand), with age ranging from 4 to 30 years. 3.
 Total, woody and non-woody understorey cover and species richness were the
 highest on secondary overburden and the lowest on tailings sand, and total
 cover also decreased with age. Woody cover and richness were the highest
 under broadleaf overstorey, while non-woody cover and richness were the
 lowest under conifer overstorey. Overall species evenness was not
 significantly affected by substrate type, overstorey type or age, but
 woody evenness was the highest on secondary overburden and the lowest on
 tailings sand, and non-woody evenness showed overstorey-dependent
 responses to age. Species composition varied with substrate type,
 overstorey type and age. Indicator species analysis revealed that tailings
 sand with conifer overstorey favored grasses, while overburden and
 secondary overburden supported a mix of grasses, forbs and shrubs. 4.
 Synthesis and applications: Our study demonstrates that
 overstorey-centered reclamation strategies impact the abundance, diversity
 and composition of understorey plant communities following oil sands
 mining. Landforms constructed with secondary overburden substrates and
 revegetated with mixedwood or broadleaf tree species provide the most
 favourable habitats for understorey vegetation, while tailings sand to be
 a poor substrate for understorey species diversity and composition. We
 therefore recommend utilizing secondary overburden and overburden
 substrate material during landform construction, and employing
 revegetation prescriptions that target mixedwood and broadleaf overstorey
 types to promote productive and diverse understorey plant communities on
 the reclaimed landscape.

title: Dimethylsulfoniopropionate, superoxide dismutase and glutathione as stress response indicators in three corals under short-term hyposalinity stress

description: Corals are among the most active producers of dimethylsulfoniopropionate
 (DMSP), a key molecule in marine sulfur cycling, yet the specific
 physiological role of DMSP in corals remains elusive. Here, we examine the
 oxidative stress response of three coral species (Acropora millepora,
 Stylophora pistillata and Pocillopora damicornis) and explore the
 antioxidant role of DMSP and its breakdown products under short-term
 hyposalinity stress. Symbiont photosynthetic activity declined with
 hyposalinity exposure in all three reef-building corals. This corresponded
 with the upregulation of superoxide dismutase and glutathione in the
 animal host of all three species. For the symbiont component, there were
 differences in antioxidant regulation, demonstrating differential
 responses to oxidative stress between the Symbiodinium subclades. Of the
 three coral species investigated, only A. millepora provided any evidence
 of the role of DMSP in the oxidative stress response. Our study reveals
 variability in antioxidant regulation in corals and highlights the
 influence life-history traits, and the subcladal differences can have on
 coral physiology. Our data expand on the emerging understanding of the
 role of DMSP in coral stress regulation and emphasizes the importance of
 exploring both the host and symbiont responses for defining the threshold
 of the coral holobiont to hyposalinity stress.

title: Data from: The effect of depressive symptoms on cognition in patients with fibromyalgia

description: Background: Fibromyalgia (FM) patients frequently complain of cognitive
 problems, but it remains unclear whether these cognitive complaints can be
 attributed to a dysfunction of the central nervous system or if they can
 be explained by other factors associated with the disease, such as
 depression, anxiety and sleep dysfunction. Methods: One hundred and ten
 patients with FM were compared with thirty-three patients diagnosed with a
 depressive disorder (DD) and fifty healthy controls (HC). Several measures
 of attention and executive functions were used to make these comparisons
 and the patients were also asked to complete questionnaires on depression,
 anxiety and sleep quality. Univariate analyses of covariance (ANCOVA) were
 performed to identify and control confounders and multiple linear models
 were used to examine the effects of fibromyalgia and depression on
 cognitive measures. Results: FM and HC differed significantly with respect
 to depression, anxiety and sleep dysfunction, whereas FM and DD did not
 differ in terms of symptoms of depression and anxiety. However, FM was
 associated with a worse quality of sleep than DD. Comparisons of cognitive
 performance between groups showed that short-term and working memory and
 inattention measures were only associated with symptoms of depression,
 whereas selective attention was associated with both depression and
 fibromyalgia, and processing speed, cognitive flexibility and inhibitory
 control showed a significant interaction between depression and
 fibromyalgia. Moreover, cognitive flexibility and inhibition abilities
 were specifically associated with FM. Conclusion: FM patients show a
 cluster of cognitive impairment in the attentional and executive domains,
 although some of the symptoms observed could be explained by the severity
 of the symptoms of depression, while others seem to depend on the effects
 of fibromyalgia. Implications of the findings for the understanding and
 management of cognitive impairment of FM patients are discussed.

title: Data from: The oldest known bryozoan: Prophyllodictya (Cryptostomata) from the lower Tremadocian (Lower Ordovician) of Liujiachang, southwestern Hubei, central China

description: A new cryptostome bryozoan, Prophyllodictya simplex sp. nov., is described
 from the Nantzinkuan Formation (Lower Ordovician, lower Tremadoc) of
 Liujiachang, central China. This antedates the previously oldest known
 bryozoan by several million years. Colony morphology and the phylogenetic
 position of Prophyllodictya within Cryptostomata are explored.
 Phylogenetic analysis suggests that Cryptostomata (except Prophyllodictya)
 can be divided into two major groups, and that Prophyllodictya occupies a
 basal position in the cryptostome tree, which accords with its simple
 morphology and antiquity. A close relationship is evident between
 bryozoans from the South China palaeoplate and those from Baltica.

title: Data from: To recycle or steal? Nutrient resorption in Australian and Brazilian mistletoes from three low-phosphorus sites

description: Resorption is the process by which nutrients are withdrawn from leaves
 prior to leaf fall. Mistletoes are generally thought not to rely on
 nutrient resorption; being xylem-tapping parasites, they instead derive
 the nutrients required for new growth from their host plant, at little or
 no cost. We measured nutrient (N, P, K, Ca, Mg) resorption in 18 parasitic
 mistletoe–host species pairs distributed across three sites with notably
 low-P soil, also quantifying relationships with leaf lifespan (LL) and
 specific leaf area (SLA). There was little or no evidence of N, Ca or Mg
 resorption. By contrast, on average ∼30% of P and ∼20% of K were resorbed
 prior to leaf fall. Longer LL in mistletoes was associated with lower N
 and P concentrations in mistletoes and in host leaves. We provide evidence
 that, even though mistletoes are relatively inefficient in terms of
 nutrient resorption compared to non-parasite species, on low-P soils their
 ecological and evolutionary strategies for conserving phosphorous involve
 modulation of both leaf lifespan and P concentration in senesced leaves.

title: Data from: Association of perceived tinnitus with duration of hormone replacement therapy in Korean postmenopausal women: a cross-sectional study

description: Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship
 between hormone replacement therapy and tinnitus in South Korea using data
 from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (KNHANES)
 (2010 ~ 2012). Study Design : Cross-sectional analysis of a nationwide
 health survey. Methods: KNHANES is a nationally representative
 cross-sectional survey of South Korea population. Only postmenopausal
 women aged 19-65 years were included in the study (n = 2736). Auditory
 function was evaluated using pure-tone audiometric testing according to
 established KNHANES protocols. Subjects were questioned about their
 experience with tinnitus. Exogenous hormone-related factors included the
 starting age and duration of hormone replacement therapy Results: The
 overall prevalence of tinnitus was 22.2% among postmenopausal women. 1)
 Tinnitus severity was significantly higher in women using hormone
 replacement therapy (p = 0.0024) and 2) significantly lower in women who
 breast-fed their children (p = 0.0386). 3) According to logistic
 regression models, the longer duration of hormone replacement therapy was
 significantly associated with increasing tinnitus (OR = 1.323, 95% CI =
 1.007-1.737, p = 0.0441). Conclusion: A longer duration of hormone
 replacement therapy was associated with developing tinnitus in Korean
 postmenopausal women. Further experimental and epidemiological researches
 are needed to elucidate the causal relationship between hormone
 replacement therapy and tinnitus.
