title: Data from: The relationship between male sexual signals, cognitive performance, and mating success in stickleback fish

description: Cognitive ability varies dramatically among individuals, yet the manner in
 which this variation correlates with reproduction has rarely been
 investigated. Here, we ask 1) do male sexual signals reflect their
 cognitive ability, and 2) is cognitive ability associated with male mating
 success? Specifically, we presented threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus
 aculeatus) with a detour-reaching task to assess initial inhibitory
 control. Fish that performed better were those who solved the
 detour-reaching task, solved it faster, and required fewer attempts to
 solve. We then reexamined males’ performance on this task over several
 days to assess learning ability in this context. We next measured sexual
 signals (coloration, nest area, and courtship vigor) and asked if they
 reveal information about these male cognitive abilities. Finally, we
 examined whether success at attracting a female is associated with male
 cognition. After controlling for the strong effect of neophobia, we found
 that no measured sexual signals were associated with initial inhibitory
 control. Sexual signals were also not associated with change in
 performance on the detour-reaching task over time (learning). However,
 females preferred mating with males who had better initial inhibitory
 control. We speculate that inhibitory control is a critical trait for male
 sticklebacks. In this system, males perform all parental care, but must
 avoid eating their own fry which closely resemble their prey items.
 Therefore, males with better inhibitory control may be more likely to
 successfully raise their offspring to independence. Our research adds to a
 growing list of mating systems and taxa in which cognition is important
 for measures related to fitness.

title: Data from: Laboratory rearing of Anopheles arabiensis: impact on genetic variability and implications for Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) based mosquito control in northern Sudan

description: Background: Mosquito colony populations often show significant changes in
 their population genetic make-up compared to the field populations that
 were used as founding source. Most of the changes that have been reported
 are indicators of depletion in the overall genetic diversity of the colony
 populations. The Sterile Insect Techniques programme of mosquito control
 that is underway in Northern Sudan uses sterilized males produced from a
 laboratory-maintained colony population. The genetic diversity of an
 advanced generation of this colony population was quantitatively assessed
 and compared to the field population from which the colony was derived.
 Methods: Anopheles arabiensis mosquito samples from the 13th generation of
 the colony, and from the locality that was the source of the first
 generation of the colony, were genotyped at 11 microsatellite loci
 distributed throughout the species’ genome. Standard population genetic
 analyses were carried out to quantify and compare their population genetic
 make-up and diversities. Results: The colony samples showed significant
 reduction in the total number of alleles, the numbers of rare and private
 alleles, and the fractions of heterozygote individuals at all the loci.
 The pattern of change is consistent with the expected effect of the use of
 a small number of mosquitoes when the colony was established. Departure
 from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium in the direction of homozygote excess was
 observed at some loci and attributed to the presence of null-alleles.
 Conclusions: This study highlights the need for broad sampling when
 initiating colony populations and for ongoing assessment of the population
 genetic make-up of colony populations. Previous assessments of
 survivorship, dispersive behaviour and swarm formation indicate that the
 inbreeding and reduced genetic variability reported in this study may not
 have had direct fitness consequences yet. However, noting the lessons
 learned in other SIT programmes about the impact of colonization on male
 sexual behaviour and longevity, as well as other inbreeding related
 adverse effects, a systematic investigation of these potential effects is
 recommended because they have direct impact on the ultimate success of the
 programme.

title: Data from: Genetic diversity and population structure of Varronia curassavica: a medicinal polyploid species in a threatened ecosystem

description: Varronia curassavica is an important medicinal species associated with the
 restinga, one of the most threatened coastal ecosystems of the Atlantic
 Forest. These circumstances call for studies aimed at estimating effective
 population size and gene flow to improve conservation efforts. Hence, the
 present study aimed to characterize the genetic diversity, ploidy level
 and population structure of this species in different areas of restinga
 using microsatellites. Varronia curassavica was characterized as an
 autotetraploid, with high genetic variability, low divergence, and no
 significant fixation indices, indicating the absence of, or reduced,
 inbreeding and genetic drift in the study area. About 44 % of the alleles
 occurred at low frequency in adults of all populations and 41 % in the
 progenies evaluated. Gene flow was high, consistent with outcrossing
 species with high dispersal capacity (Nm = 4.87). The results showed no
 tendency toward isolation by distance. The estimated effective size
 indicates that the populations studied have the potential to ensure
 conservation of the species in the long term. The genetic variability and
 population structure of V. curassavica, as determined in this study, could
 form the foundation for activities directed toward the sustainable use of
 this resource and its conservation. Even though the restinga ecosystem has
 suffered dramatic reductions in area, this study provides evidence that
 this species is resilient to anthropogenic threats to its genetic
 integrity, since it is a polyploid with self-incompatibility mechanisms
 that contribute to maintaining high genetic diversity in an panmictic
 meta-population along the coast of Santa Catarina.

title: Data from: Size-dependent physiological responses of shore crabs to single and repeated playback of ship noise

description: Anthropogenic noise has fundamentally changed the acoustics of terrestrial
 and aquatic environments, and there is growing empirical evidence that
 even a single noise exposure can impact behaviour in a variety of
 vertebrate organisms. Here we use controlled experiments to investigate
 how the physiology of a marine invertebrate, the shore crab (Carcinus
 maenas), is affected by both single and repeated exposure to ship-noise
 playback. Crabs experiencing ship-noise playback consumed more oxygen,
 indicating a higher metabolic rate and potentially greater stress, than
 those exposed to ambient-noise playback. The response to single ship-noise
 playback was size-dependent, with heavier crabs showing a stronger
 response than lighter individuals. Repeated exposure to ambient-noise
 playback led to increased oxygen consumption (likely due to handling
 stress), whereas repeated exposure to ship-noise playback produced no
 change in physiological response; explanations include the possibility
 that crabs exhibited a maximal response on first exposure to ship-noise
 playback or that they habituated or become tolerant to it. These results
 highlight that invertebrates, like vertebrates, may also be susceptible to
 the detrimental impacts of anthropogenic noise, and demonstrate their
 tractability for more detailed investigations into the effects of this
 pervasive global pollutant.

title: Data from: The interrelationships of ‘complex’ conodonts (Vertebrata)

description: Little attention has been paid to the suprageneric classification for
 conodonts and existing schemes have been formulated without attention to
 homology, diagnosis and definition. We propose that cladistics provides an
 appropriate methodology to test existing schemes of classification and in
 which to explore the evolutionary relationships of conodonts. The
 development of a multi-element taxonomy and a concept of homology based
 upon the position, not morphology, of elements within the apparatus
 provide the ideal foundation for the application of cladistics to
 conodonts. In an attempt to unravel the evolutionary relationships between
 ‘complex’ conodonts (prioniodontids and derivative lineages) we have
 compiled a data matrix based upon 95 characters and 61 representative
 taxa. The dataset was analysed using parsimony and the resulting
 hypotheses were assessed using a number of measures of support. These
 included bootstrap, Bremer Support and double-decay; we also compared
 levels of homoplasy to those expected given the size of the dataset and to
 those expected in a random dataset. The dataset was analysed in three
 hierarchical tranches, representing three levels of certainty concerning
 multi-element reconstructions and positional homologies. There is much
 agreement between the results derived from the three partitions, but some
 inconsistency, particularly in the precise composition of the three main
 evolutionary grades traditionally recognised (Prioniodontida,
 Prioniodinina, Ozarkodinina). This is considered to result from (a) the
 progressive inclusion of data that is increasingly uncertain and (b) the
 inclusion of increasingly distantly related taxa, introducing spurious
 hypotheses of homology. We tested for these by partitioning the dataset
 into the three main evolutionary grades and in each instance resolution
 was seen to in-crease substantially, especially among prioniodinins. Our
 concluding scheme of relationships is a tree derived from a compilation of
 the three component subtrees, which is directly compatible with the
 most-parsimonious trees derived from the initial second tranche analysis
 with the exception of the position of Hibbardella. This is compared in
 detail to the main extant schemes of suprageneric classification. A formal
 scheme of suprageneric classification is presented and the distribution of

title: Data from: Lecanora anakeestiicola (Lecanorales): an unusual new fruticose species from Great Smoky Mountains National Park in eastern North America

description: The sterile asexually reproducing lichen Lecanora anakeestiicola is
 described as new to science from the southern Appalachian Mountains. This
 species is known from two populations that occur on shaded outcrops of the
 Anakeesta Formation at high elevations. It can be recognized by its
 dimorphic thallus with flaccid, ecorticate pseudopodetia and by the
 production of usnic acid in addition to zeorin. It is similar to Lecanora
 phryganitis, a narrow endemic of the Pacific Coast, which differs in the
 production of xanthones and in having tangled pseudopodetia that are stiff
 and hard due to the presence of a well developed cortex. It is also
 superficially similar to Leprocaulon americanum and L. quisquiliare, which
 are allopatric species that differ in having erect pseudopodetia with a
 stiff central cord.

title: Data from: Geomagnetic field influences upward movement of young Chinook salmon emerging from nests

description: Organisms use a variety of environmental cues to orient their movements in
 three-dimensional space. Here, we show that the upward movement of young
 Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) emerging from gravel nests is
 influenced by the geomagnetic field. Fish in the ambient geomagnetic field
 travelled farther upwards through substrate than did fish tested in a
 field with the vertical component inverted. This suggests that the
 magnetic field is one of several factors that influences emergence from
 the gravel, possibly by serving as an orientation cue that helps fish
 determine which way is up. Moreover, our work indicates that the
 Oncorhynchus species are sensitive to the magnetic field throughout their
 life cycle, and that it guides their movements across a range of spatial
 scales and habitats.

title: Data from: Pore pressure evolution and mass loss of broken gangue during the seepage

description: Broken gangue consists of different particles, and it has more complicated
 seepage characteristics than intact rock sample. Using the self-designed
 instrument, the permeability, mass loss and pore pressure of crushed
 gangue during the seepage are tested. The result shows that: permeability
 parameter k of crushed rock has polynomial relationship with effective
 stress ’ in inverse proportion, and permeability parameter β of crushed
 gangue has power exponent relationship with effective stress ’ increasing
 in direct proportion. 8.0 – 10.0 mm particle size has a good support
 effect. Inner pressure of crushed rock is mostly linear distribution along
 the tube wall. After seepage，mass loss of broken gangue mainly increases
 with large particle size out of proportion.

title: Data from: Positive selection drives adaptive diversification of the 4-coumarate: CoA ligase (4CL) gene in angiosperms

description: Lignin and flavonoids play a vital role in the adaption of plants to a
 terrestrial environment. 4-Coumarate: coenzyme A ligase (4CL) is a key
 enzyme of general phenylpropanoid metabolism which provides the precursors
 for both lignin and flavonoids biosynthesis. However, very little is known
 about how such essential enzymatic functions evolve and diversify. Here,
 we analyze 4CL sequence variation patterns in a phylogenetic framework to
 further identify the evolutionary forces that lead to functional
 divergence. The results reveal that lignin-biosynthetic 4CLs are under
 positive selection. The majority of the positively selected sites are
 located in the substrate-binding pocket and the catalytic center,
 indicating that nonsynonymous substitutions might contribute to the
 functional evolution of 4CLs for lignin biosynthesis. The evolution of
 4CLs involved in flavonoid biosynthesis is constrained by purifying
 selection and maintains the ancestral role of the protein in response to
 biotic and abiotic factors. Overall, our results demonstrate that protein
 sequence evolution via positive selection is an important evolutionary
 force driving adaptive diversification in 4CL proteins in angiosperms.
 This diversification is associated with adaption to a terrestrial
 environment.

title: Data from: The evolution of sexual imprinting through reinforcement

description: Reinforcement is the process whereby assortative mating evolves due to
 selection against costly hybridization. Sexual imprinting could evolve as
 a mechanism of reinforcement, decreasing hybridization, or it could
 potentially increase hybridization in genetically purebred offspring of
 heterospecific social pairs. We use deterministic population genetic
 simulations to explore conditions under which sexual imprinting can evolve
 through reinforcement. We demonstrate that a sexual imprinting component
 of female preference can evolve as a one-allele assortative mating
 mechanism by reducing the risk of hybridization, and is generally
 effective at causing trait divergence. However, imprinting often evolve to
 be a component rather than the sole determinant of female preference. The
 evolution of imprinting has the unexpected side effect of homogenizing
 existing innate preferences, because the imprinted preference neutralizes
 any innate preference. We also find that the weight of the imprinting
 component may evolve to a lower value when migration and divergent
 selection are strong and the cost of hybridization is low; these
 conditions render hybridization adaptive for immigrant females because
 they can acquire locally adaptive genes by mating with local males.
 Together, these results suggest that sexual imprinting can itself evolve
 as part of the speciation process, and in doing so has the capacity to
 promote or retard divergence through complex interactions.

title: Data from: Reproductive conflict in bumblebees and the evolution of worker policing

description: Worker policing (mutual repression of reproduction) in the eusocial
 Hymenoptera represents a leading example of how coercion can facilitate
 cooperation. The occurrence of worker policing in “primitively” eusocial
 species with low mating frequencies, which lack relatedness differences
 conducive to policing, suggests that separate factors may underlie the
 origin and maintenance of worker policing. We tested this hypothesis by
 investigating conflict over male parentage in the primitively eusocial,
 monandrous bumblebee, Bombus terrestris. Using observations, experiments,
 and microsatellite genotyping, we found that: (a) worker- but not
 queen-laid male eggs are nearly all eaten (by queens, reproductive, and
 nonreproductive workers) soon after being laid, so accounting for low
 observed frequencies of larval and adult worker-produced males; (b) queen-
 and worker-laid male eggs have equal viabilities; (c) workers discriminate
 between queen- and worker-laid eggs using cues on eggs and egg cells that
 almost certainly originate from queens. The cooccurrence in B. terrestris
 of these three key elements of “classical” worker policing as found in the
 highly eusocial, polyandrous honeybees provides novel support for the
 hypothesis that worker policing can originate in the absence of
 relatedness differences maintaining it. Worker policing in B. terrestris
 almost certainly arose via reproductive competition among workers, that
 is, as "selfish" policing.

title: Data from: Reduced dietary conservatism in a wild bird in the presence of intraspecific competition

description: The presence of intraspecific competitors can increase foraging costs
 through exploitation of resources. Optimal foraging theory suggests that
 when the cost of pursuing one food type increases, alternative resources
 should be accepted. Accepting novel foods readily might put a competitor
 at an advantage over its more conservative rivals in the race for
 sufficient sustinance, but also opens it to the danger of poisoning by
 chemically protected food. Dietary conservatism is foraging behaviour
 characterised by a prolonged avoidance of novel foods, long after
 neophobia (initial fear of novel objects) has been overcome, and so might
 be seen as a disadvantage to foragers in a competitive situation. There
 are two stable foraging strategies found within forager populations: (1)
 adventurous consumers (AC) which rapidly accept novel foods and (2)
 foragers showing dietary conservatism (DC). The expression of these two
 strategies may also vary with environmental conditions. The aim of this
 study was to investigate the effect of intraspecific competition on the
 levels of dietary conservatism displayed among wild caught blue tits
 (Cyanistes caeruleus). Blue tits were offered items of both novel and
 familiar foods under two conditions: with a competitor and without. Our
 results showed that individuals who experienced competition incorporated
 the novel items into their diet faster than those who did not experience
 competition. This study demonstrates, for the first time, the degree of
 plascticty in the expression of the DC trait using wild birds in
 laboratory conditions. This plasticity represents a significant adaptation
 to reduce the costs of foraging conservatively when novel alternative
 resources should be accepted.
