title: Data from: Trait-matching and mass effect determine the functional response of herbivore communities to land use intensification

description: 1. Trait-based approaches represent a promising way to understand how
 trophic interactions shape animal communities. The approach relies on the
 identification of the traits that mediate the linkages between adjacent
 trophic levels, i.e. “trait-matching”. Yet, how trait-matching explains
 the abundance and diversity of animal communities has been barely
 explored. This question may be particularly critical in the context of
 land use intensification, currently threatening biodiversity and
 associated ecosystem services. 2. We collected a large dataset on plant
 and grasshopper traits from communities living in 204 sampled grasslands,
 in an intensively managed agricultural landscape. We used a multi-trait
 approach to quantify the relative contributions of trait-matching and land
 use intensification acting at both local and landscape scales on
 grasshopper functional diversity. We considered two key independent
 functional traits: incisor strength and body size of grasshopper species.
 Incisor strength, a resource-acquisition trait, strongly matches
 grasshopper feeding niche. Body size correlates with mobility traits, and
 may determine grasshopper dispersal abilities. 3. Plant functional
 diversity positively impacted the diversity of grasshopper
 resource-acquisition trait, according to the trait-matching observed
 between plants and herbivores. However, this positive effect was
 significantly higher in old grasslands. In addition, the presence of
 specific habitats in the landscape (i.e. wood and alfalfa) strongly
 enhanced grasshopper resource-acquisition trait diversity in the focal
 grassland. Finally, body size increased with landscape simplification,
 although its response was modulated by local factors such as soil depth.
 4. Trait-matching between plants and herbivores was an important driver
 explaining the abundance and diversity of resource-acquisition traits
 within grasshopper communities. Herbivore functional diversity in
 grasslands, however, cannot be understood without taking into account the
 presence of specific habitats in the surrounding landscape, as well as the
 age of the grassland. Our study suggests mass effect and assembly time are
 central mechanisms promoting higher functional diversity within animal
 communities in highly disturbed anthropogenic system.

title: Data from: Bacteria and the evolution of honest signals. The case of ornamental throat feathers in spotless starlings

description: 1.Mechanisms guaranteeing reliability of messages are essential in
 understanding the underlying information and evolution of signals.
 Microorganisms may degrade signalling traits and therefore, influence the
 transmitted information and evolution of these characters. The role of
 microorganisms in animal signalling has, however, rarely been
 investigated. 2.Here, we explore a possible role for feather-degrading
 bacteria driving the design of ornamental throat feathers in male spotless
 starlings (Sturnus unicolor). We estimated length, bacterial load,
 degradation status, and susceptibility to degradation by keratinolytic
 bacteria in those feathers, compared to non-ornamental adjacent feathers
 in males, as well as to throat feathers in females. In addition, the
 volume of the uropygial gland and its secretion was measured, and the
 secretion extracted. We also experimentally evaluated the capacity of each
 secretion to inhibit growth of a keratinolytic bacterium. 3.The apical
 part of male ornamental throat feathers harboured more bacteria and
 degraded more quickly than the basal part; these patterns were not
 detected in female throat feathers or in non-ornamental male feathers.
 Moreover, degradation status of male and female throat feathers did not
 differ, but was positively associated with feather bacterial density.
 Finally, the size of the uropygial gland in both males and females
 predicted volume and the inhibitory capacity of secretion against
 feather-degrading bacteria. Only in males was uropygial gland size
 negatively associated with the level of feather degradation. 4.All results
 indicate differential susceptibility of different parts of throat feathers
 to keratinolytic bacterial attack, which supports the possibility that
 throat feathers in starlings reflect individual ability to combat
 feather-degrading bacteria honestly. This is further supported by the
 relationship detected between antimicrobial properties of uropygial
 secretion and the level of feather degradation. 5.Our results suggest that
 selection pressures exerted by feather-degrading bacteria on hosts may
 promote evolution of particular morphologies of secondary sexual traits
 with different susceptibility to bacterial degradation that reliably
 inform of their bacterial load. Those results will help to understand the
 evolution of ornamental signals.

title: Data from: Hybrid dysfunction expressed as elevated metabolic rate in male Ficedula flycatchers

description: Studies of ecological speciation are often biased towards extrinsic
 sources of selection against hybrids, resulting from intermediate hybrid
 morphology, but the knowledge of how genetic incompatibilities accumulate
 over time under natural conditions is limited. Here we focus on a
 physiological trait, metabolic rate, which is central to life history
 strategies and thermoregulation but is also likely to be sensitive to
 mismatched mitonuclear interactions. We measured the resting metabolic
 rate of male collared, and pied flycatchers as well as of naturally
 occurring F1 hybrid males, in a recent hybrid zone. We found that hybrid
 males had a higher rather than intermediate metabolic rate, which is
 indicative of hybrid physiological dysfunction. Fitness costs associated
 with elevated metabolic rate are typically environmentally dependent and
 exaggerated under harsh conditions. By focusing on male hybrid dysfunction
 in an eco-physiological trait, our results contribute to the general
 understanding of how combined extrinsic and intrinsic sources of hybrid
 dysfunction build up under natural conditions.

title: Data from: Stratigraphic signatures of mass extinctions: ecological and sedimentary determinants

description: Stratigraphic patterns of last occurrences of fossil taxa (LOs)
 potentially fingerprint mass extinctions and delineate rates and
 geometries of those events. Although empirical studies of mass extinctions
 recognize that random sampling causes LOs to occur earlier than the time
 of extinction (Signor–Lipps effect), sequence-stratigraphic controls on
 the position of LOs are rarely considered. By tracing stratigraphic ranges
 of extant mollusc species preserved in the Holocene succession of the Po
 coastal plain (Italy), we demonstrated that, if mass extinction took place
 today, complex but entirely false extinction patterns would be recorded
 regionally due to shifts in local community composition and non-random
 variation in the abundance of skeletal remains, both controlled by
 relative sea-level changes. Consequently, rather than following an
 apparent gradual pattern expected from the Signor–Lipps effect, LOs
 concentrated within intervals of stratigraphic condensation and strong
 facies shifts mimicking sudden extinction pulses. Methods assuming uniform
 recovery potential of fossils falsely supported stepwise extinction
 patterns among studied species and systematically underestimated their
 stratigraphic ranges. Such effects of stratigraphic architecture,
 co-produced by ecological, sedimentary and taphonomic processes, can
 easily confound interpretations of the timing, duration, and selectivity
 of mass extinction events. Our results highlight the necessity of
 accounting for palaeoenvironmental and sequence-stratigraphic context when
 inferring extinction dynamics from the fossil record.

title: Data from: The effect of habitat fragmentation on finescale population structure of wood frogs (Rana sylvatica)

description: We examined the impact of recent anthropogenic habitat fragmentation on
 the genetic structure of wood frog (Rana sylvatica) breeding sites in
 Wellington County of Ontario, Canada. In addition to geographic distance
 (average pairwise distance ~22 km, greatest distance ~50.22 km), four
 landscape features hypothesized to contribute to genetic differentiation
 between breeding sites were considered: road density, a major highway
 (highway 401), canopy cover, and watershed discontinuity. Analysis of data
 from 396 samples across nine breeding sites using eight microsatellite DNA
 loci, revealed a small degree of significant genetic structure between
 breeding sites. The presence of highway 401 and road density were
 correlated with small but statistically significant structure observed
 between several groups of sites. One outlier breeding site outside of
 Wellington County located within the city of Toronto, had significantly
 lower allelic richness and much larger population differentiation with the
 Wellington sites. Our data suggest that recent fragmentation has had an
 effect on wood frog population structure and also demonstrate the
 importance of dispersal for this species in maintaining levels of genetic
 diversity.

title: Data from: Age, oxidative stress exposure and fitness in a long-lived seabird

description: The need to manage exposure to oxidative stress, which can damage
 macromolecules, is thought to influence the resolution of life history
 trade-offs. Oxidative damage is expected to increase with age as a
 consequence of changes in the optimal investment in defences or repair,
 and/or because of senescence in antioxidant defence systems, though the
 pattern might differ between short and long-lived species. However, data
 on age related changes in damage levels in wild populations are rare.
 Using cross-sectional and longitudinal data collected over three years, we
 examine variation in a measure of oxidative damage exposure in known age,
 wild European Shags (Phalacrocorax aristotelis), a relatively long lived
 species. The cross-sectional data showed a quadratic relationship between
 oxidative damage exposure and age: both relatively young and old adults
 had higher levels than those in middle age. In contrast, a measure of
 non-enzymatic antioxidant levels did not vary with age. The
 cross-sectional increase in oxidative damage exposure in later life was
 consistent with longitudinal patterns observed within older birds (more
 than 10 years old). However, the apparent decline in oxidative damage in
 early adulthood was not consistent with longitudinal patterns in younger
 birds, which showed individual variation but no consistent age-related
 change in the marker. This suggests that cross-sectional patterns reflect
 instead higher disappearance of individuals with high exposure to
 oxidative damage at this life stage. Our data further show that oxidative
 damage levels are predictive of attendance at the colony in all age
 classes: juveniles fledging with a high damage exposure index were less
 likely to be resighted in the breeding colony two years later, and adults
 with high levels at the end of the breeding season had reduced return
 rates, irrespective of age. Since this is a species that shows high colony
 fidelity, this is likely to reflect mortality patterns. These data suggest
 that exposure to oxidative damage increases with age in a long lived
 species, but only in later life, when high investment in reproduction at
 the cost of defence would be predicted.

 relationship between the use of these pathways and the therapeutic gain
 offered by new products. Design: Cohort study. Data sources: Therapeutic

 new drugs evaluated by Health Canada that went through an accelerated
 pathway between 1995 and 2016 inclusive. Kappa values comparing the review
 status to assessments of therapeutic value for individual drugs. Results:
 438 (70.3%) drugs went through the standard pathway, 185 (29.7%) an
 accelerated pathway. Therapeutic evaluations were available for 509 drugs.
 Health Canada used an accelerated approval pathway for 159 of the 509
 drugs whereas only 55 were judged to be therapeutically innovative. The
 Kappa value for the entire period for all 509 drugs was 0.276 (95% CI
 0.194, 0.359) or fair. Conclusion: Health Canada’s use of accelerated
 approvals was stable over the entire time period. Its ability to predict
 which drugs will offer a major therapeutic gain is relatively poor. The
 findings in this study should provoke a discussion about whether Health
 Canada should continue to use these pathways and if so how their use can
 be improved.

title: Data from: Buteo nesting ecology: evaluating nesting of Swainson's hawks in the northern Great Plains

description: Swainson’s hawks (Buteo swainsoni) are long-distance migratory raptors
 that nest primarily in isolated trees located in areas of high grassland
 density. In recent years, anthropogenic conversion of grassland habitat
 has raised concerns about the status of the breeding population in the
 northern Great Plains. In 2013, we initiated a study to investigate the
 influence of extrinsic factors influencing Swainson’s hawk nesting ecology
 in north-central South Dakota and south-central North Dakota. Using ground
 and aerial surveys, we located and monitored nesting Swainson’s hawk
 pairs: 73 in 2013 and 120 in 2014. We documented 98 successful breeding
 attempts that fledged 163 chicks; 1.52 and 1.72 fledglings per successful
 nest in 2013 and 2014, respectively. We used Program MARK to evaluate the
 influence of land cover on nest survival. The top model, SDist2Farm+%Hay,
 indicated that nest survival (fledging at least one chick) decreased as
 nests were located farther from farm sites and as the percent of hay cover
 increased within 1200-m of the nest site (34.4%; 95% CI = 27.6%–42.3%). We
 used logistic regression analysis to evaluate the influence of landscape
 variables on nest-site selection; Swainson’s hawks selected for nest sites
 located closer to roads. We suggest that tree belts associated with farm
 sites, whether occupied or not, provide critical breeding sites for
 Swainson’s hawks. Additionally, poor breeding success may be related to
 the late migratory behavior of this species which requires them to occupy
 marginal habitat due to other raptors occupying the most suitable habitat
 prior to Swainson’s hawks arriving to the breeding grounds.

title: Data from: Temperature-regulated guest admission and release in microporous materials

description: While it has long been known that some highly adsorbing microporous
 materials suddenly become inaccessible to guest molecules below certain
 temperatures, previous attempts to explain this phenomenon have failed.
 Here we show that this anomalous sorption behaviour is a
 temperature-regulated guest admission process, where the pore-keeping
 group’s thermal fluctuations are influenced by interactions with guest
 molecules. A physical model is presented to explain the atomic-level
 chemistry and structure of these thermally regulated micropores, which is
 crucial to systematic engineering of new functional materials such as
 tunable molecular sieves, gated membranes and controlled-release
 nanocontainers. The model was validated experimentally with H2, N2, Ar and
 CH4 on three classes of microporous materials: trapdoor zeolites,
 supramolecular host calixarenes and metal-organic frameworks. We
 demonstrate how temperature can be exploited to achieve appreciable
 hydrogen and methane storage in such materials without sustained pressure.
 These findings also open new avenues for gas sensing and isotope
 separation.

title: Data from: Dispersal barriers and climate determine the geographic distribution of the helicopter damselfly Mecistogaster modesta

description: Species’ ranges are typically constrained by the interplay of physical
 barriers to dispersal, environmental requirements such as suitable
 climatic conditions and biotic constraints such as from predation or
 competition. However, teasing apart the relative importance of these
 constraints in determining species distributions still represents a major
 challenge for ecologists. The Neotropical damselfly Mecistogaster modesta
 (Coenagrionidae: Odonata) inhabits wet and moist forests in mainland
 Central America and north-western South America. This habitat specialist
 spends its larval development exclusively in tank bromeliads, where it
 acts as a keystone predator within the aquatic food web. Although
 tank-forming bromeliads occur from the southern United States throughout
 most of South America, M. modesta is absent from the Caribbean islands and
 South America south-east of the Andes mountain chain. We employed species
 distribution models to explore the relative importance of physical
 barriers (Andes mountain range and oceanic barriers), climate (mean annual
 temperature and annual precipitation) and biotic interactions (competition
 from other bromeliad-dwelling odonates) in limiting the geographic
 distribution of M. modesta. We found that dispersal barriers strongly
 limit the geographic distribution of M. modesta. In addition, its range is
 restricted by low temperatures and low precipitation. Competition from
 other bromeliad-dwelling odonates was not important in limiting the
 damselfly's range. Because of the physical barriers to dispersal, M.
 modesta does not occupy its full potential geographic range. Specifically,
 our model predicted suitable habitat on the Caribbean islands and
 throughout most of South America, where the species is currently absent.
 These findings have important conservation implications, particularly as
 the aridification of rainforests and subsequent localised extinctions due
 to climate change continue. On the other hand, the species may respond to
 warming temperatures by tracking climate to higher elevations, with
 subsequent effects on naïve high-elevation bromeliad food webs. An upwards
 migration could also increase the probability of M. modesta overcoming the
 dispersal barrier presented by the Andes, enabling the damselfly to invade
 large areas of suitable habitat in South America.

title: Data from: Cuckoo hosts shift from accepting to rejecting parasitic eggs across their lifetime

description: One of the best known outcomes of coevolution between species is the
 rejection of mimetic parasite eggs by avian hosts, which has evolved to
 reduce costly cuckoo parasitism. How this behavioral adaptation varies
 along the life of individual hosts remains poorly understood. Here we
 identify for the first time, lifetime patterns of egg rejection in a
 parasitized long-lived bird, the magpie Pica pica and show that, during
 the years they were studied, some females accept, others reject, and some
 others modify their response to model eggs, in all cases switching from
 acceptance to rejection. Females tested in their first breeding attempt
 always accepted the model egg, even those individuals whose mothers were
 egg rejecters. A longitudinal analysis showed that the probability of egg
 rejection increased with the relative age of the female, but was not
 related to the risk of parasitism in the population. We conclude that
 ontogeny plays a fundamental role in the process leading to egg rejection
 in magpies.
