title: Data from: Drivers of nocturnal water flux in a tallgrass prairie

description: 1. Nocturnal transpiration can impact water balance from the local
 community to earth-atmosphere fluxes. However, the dynamics and drivers of
 nocturnal transpiration among coexisting plant functional groups in
 herbaceous ecosystems are unknown. 2. Here, we addressed the following
 questions: (1) How do nocturnal (Enight) and diurnal (Eday) transpiration
 vary among coexisting grasses, forbs, and shrubs in a tallgrass prairie?
 (2) What environmental variables drive Enight and do these differ from the
 drivers of Eday? (3) Is Enight associated with daytime physiological
 processes? 3. We measured diurnal and nocturnal leaf gas exchange on
 perennial grass, forb, and woody species in a North American tallgrass
 prairie. Measurements were made periodically across two growing seasons
 (May-August 2014-2015) on three C4 grasses (Andropogon gerardii,
 Sorghastrum nutans, and Panicum virgatum), two C3 forbs (Vernonia
 baldwinii and Solidago canadensis), one C3 sub-shrub (Amorpha canescens)
 and two C3 shrubs (Cornus drummondii and Rhus glabra). 4. By extending our
 study to multiple functional groups we were able to make several key
 observations: (1) Enight was variable among co-occurring plant functional
 groups, with the highest rates occurring in C4 grasses, (2) Enight and
 Eday exhibited different responses to vapor pressure deficit and other
 environmental drivers, and (3) rates of Enight were strongly related to
 predawn leaf water potential for grasses and woody species, and likely
 modulated by small-scale changes in soil moisture availability. 5. Our
 results provide novel insight into an often-overlooked portion of
 ecosystem water balance. Considering the high rates of Enight observed in
 C4 grasses, as well as the widespread global occurrence of C4 grasses,
 nocturnal water loss might constitute a greater proportion of global
 evapotranspiration than previously estimated. Additionally, future
 predictions of nocturnal water loss may be complicated by stomatal
 behavior that differs between during the day and at night. Finally, these
 data suggest a water-use strategy by C4 grasses wherein the high rates of
 Enight occurring during wet periods may confer a competitive advantage to
 maximize resource consumption during periods of availability.

title: Data from: Exploring potential establishment of marine rafting species after transoceanic long-distance dispersal

description: Aim On March 11, 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake triggered a massive
 tsunami that resulted in the largest known rafting event in recorded
 history. By spring 2012, marine debris began washing ashore along the
 Pacific Coast of the U.S. and Canada with a wide-range of Asian coastal
 species attached. We used this unique dataset, where the source region,
 date of dislodgment, and landing location are known, to assess the
 potential for species invasions by transoceanic rafting on marine debris.
 Location Northeast Pacific from 20 to 60°N Time period Current Major taxa
 studied Forty-eight invertebrate and algal species recorded on Japanese
 tsunami marine debris. Methods We developed Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt)
 species distribution models for 48 species recorded on Japanese tsunami
 marine debris to predict establishment potential along the Pacific Coast
 from 20-60°N. Models were compared within the context of historical marine
 introductions from Japan to this region to validate the emergence of
 marine debris as a novel vector for species transfer. Results Overall, 27%
 (13 species) landed with debris at locations with suitable environmental
 conditions for establishment and survival, indicating that these species
 may be able to establish new populations or introduce greater genetic
 diversity to already established non-native populations. A further 22
 species have environmental match in areas where tsunami debris likely
 landed, but was not extensively sampled. Nearly 100 Japanese marine
 species previously invaded the northeastern Pacific, demonstrating this
 region's environmental suitability for rafting Japanese biota.
 Historical invasions from Asia are highest in California and largely known
 from bays and harbors. Main conclusions Marine debris is a novel and
 growing vector for non-native species introduction. By utilizing a unique
 dataset of Japanese tsunami marine debris species, our predictive models
 show capacity for new transoceanic invasions and can focus monitoring
 priorities to detect successful long-distance dispersal across the world’s
 oceans.

title: Data from: Indoor resting behavior of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) in Acapulco, Mexico

description: The markedly anthropophilic and endophilic behaviors of Aedes aegypti (L.)
 make it a very efficient vector of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika viruses.
 Although a large body of research has investigated the immature habitats
 and conditions for adult emergence, relatively few studies have focused on
 the indoor resting behavior and distribution of vectors within houses. We
 investigated the resting behavior of Ae. aegypti indoors in 979 houses of
 the city of Acapulco, Mexico, by performing exhaustive indoor mosquito
 collections to describe the rooms and height at which mosquitoes were
 found resting. In total, 1,403 adult and 747 female Ae. aegypti were
 collected, primarily indoors (98% adults and 99% females). Primary resting
 locations included bedrooms (44%), living rooms (25%), and bathrooms
 (20%), followed by kitchens (9%). Aedes aegypti significantly rested below
 1.5 m of height (82% adults, 83% females, and 87% bloodfed females); the
 odds of finding adult Ae. aegypti mosquitoes below 1.5 m was 17 times
 higher than above 1.5 m. Our findings provide relevant information for the
 design of insecticide-based interventions selectively targeting the adult
 resting population, such as indoor residual spraying.

title: Data from: Genetic connectivity of the moth pollinated tree Glionnetia sericea in a highly fragmented habitat

description: Long-distance gene flow is thought to be one prerequisite for the
 persistence of plant species in fragmented environments. Human influences
 have led to severe fragmentation of native habitats in the Seychelles
 islands, with many species surviving only in small and isolated
 populations. The endangered Seychelles endemic tree Glionnetia sericea is
 restricted to altitudes between 450 m and 900 m where the native forest
 vegetation has been largely lost and replaced with exotic invasives over
 the last 200 years. This study explores the genetic and ecological
 consequences of population fragmentation in this species by analysing
 patterns of genetic diversity in a sample of adults, juveniles and seeds,
 and by using controlled pollination experiments. Our results show no
 decrease in genetic diversity and no increase in genetic structuring from
 adult to juvenile cohorts. Despite significant inbreeding in some
 populations, there is no evidence of higher inbreeding in juvenile cohorts
 relative to adults. A Bayesian structure analysis and a tentative
 paternity analysis indicate extensive historical and contemporary gene
 flow among remnant populations. Pollination experiments and a paternity
 analysis show that Glionnetia sericea is self-compatible. Nevertheless,
 outcrossing is present with 7% of mating events resulting from pollen
 transfer between populations. Artificial pollination provided no evidence
 for pollen limitation in isolated populations. The highly mobile and
 specialized hawkmoth pollinators (Agrius convolvuli and Cenophodes tamsi;
 Sphingidae) appear to promote extensive gene flow, thus mitigating the
 potential negative ecological and genetic effects of habitat fragmentation
 in this species. We conclude that contemporary gene flow is sufficient to
 maintain genetic connectivity in this rare and restricted Seychelles
 endemic, in contrast to other island endemic tree species with limited
 contemporary gene flow.

title: Data from: Ploidy elicits a whole-genome dosage effect: growth of triploid Atlantic salmon is linked to the genetic origin of the second maternal chromosome set

description: Background: The Atlantic salmon aquaculture industry is investigating the
 feasibility of using sterile triploids to mitigate genetic interactions
 with wild conspecifics, however, studies investigating diploid and
 triploid performance often show contrasting results. Studies have
 identified dosage and dosage-compensation effects for gene expression
 between triploid and diploid salmonids, but no study has investigated how
 ploidy and parent-origin effects interact on a polygenic trait in
 divergent lines of Atlantic salmon (i.e. slow growing wild versus fast
 growing domesticated phenotype). This study utilised two experiments
 relating to the freshwater growth of diploid and triploid groups of pure
 wild (0% domesticated genome), pure domesticated (100% domesticated
 genome), and F1 reciprocal hybrid (33%, 50% or 66% domesticated genome)
 salmon where triploidy was either artificially induced (experiment 1) or
 naturally developed/spontaneous (experiment 2). Results: In both
 experiments, reciprocal hybrid growth was influenced by the dosage effect
 of the second maternal chromosome, with growth increasing as ploidy level
 increased in individuals with a domesticated dam (from 50% to 66%
 domesticated genome), and the inverse in individuals with a wild dam (from
 50% to 33% domesticated genome). Conclusions: We demonstrate that the
 combined effect of ploidy and parent-origin on growth, a polygenic trait,
 is regulated in an additive pattern. Therefore, in order to maximise
 growth potential, the aquaculture industry should consider placing more
 emphasis on the breeding value of the dam than the sire when producing
 triploid families for commercial production.

title: Data from: Snake and bird predation drive the repeated convergent evolution of correlated life history traits and phenotype in the Izu Island scincid lizard (Plestiodon latiscutatus)

description: Predation may create strong natural selection pressure on the phenotype
 and life history characteristics of prey species. The Izu scincid lizards
 (Plestiodon latiscutatus) that inhabit the four Japanese Izu Islands with
 only bird predators are drab brown, mature later, lay small clutches of
 large eggs, and hatch large neonates. In contrast, skinks on seven islands
 with both snake and bird predators are conspicuously colored, mature
 early, lay large clutches of small eggs, and hatch small neonates. We test
 the hypothesis that these suites of traits have evolved independently on
 each island via natural selection pressures from one of two predator
 regimes – birds-only and birds + snakes. Using two mtDNA genes and a
 nuclear locus, we infer a time-calibrated phylogeny of P. latiscutatus
 that reveals a basal split between Mikura and all islands south, and
 Miyake, all islands north, and the Izu Peninsula. Populations inhabiting
 Miyake, Niijima, Shikine, and Toshima are not monophyletic, suggesting
 either multiple colonizations or an artifact of incomplete lineage sorting
 (ILS). We therefore developed novel phylogenetic comparative analyses that
 assume either a multiple colonization or more restrictive single
 colonization ILS scenario and found 1) statistically significant support
 for the of different suites of phenotypic and life history characteristics
 with the presence of bird-only or bird + snake predator assemblages, and
 2) strong phylogenetic support for at least two independent derivations of
 either the “bird-only” or “snakes + birds” phenotypes regardless of
 colonization scenario. Finally, our time-calibrated phylogeographic
 analysis supports the conclusion that the ancestor to modern Izu Island P.
 latiscutatus dispersed from the mainland to the Izu proto-islands between
 3–7.6 million years ago (Ma). These lineages remained present in the area
 during successive formation of the islands, with one lineage re-colonizing
 the mainland 0.24-0.7 Ma.

title: Data from: Variation in patriline reproductive success during queen production in orphaned colonies of the thelytokous ant Cataglyphis cursor

description: In genetically diverse insect societies (polygynous or polyandrous
 queens), the production of new queens can set the ground for competition
 among lineages. This competition can be very intense when workers can
 reproduce using thelytoky as worker patrilines that manage to produce new
 queens gain a huge benefit. Selection at the individual level might then
 lead to the evolution of cheating genotypes, i.e. genotypes that reproduce
 more than their fair share. We studied the variation in reproductive
 success among worker patrilines in the thelytokous and highly polyandrous
 ant Cataglyphis cursor. Workers produce new queens by thelytoky in
 orphaned colonies. The reproductive success of each patriline was assessed
 in 13 orphaned colonies using genetic analysis of 433 workers and 326
 worker-produced queens. Our results show that patrilines contributed
 unequally to queen production in half of the colonies and the success of
 patrilines was function of their frequencies in workers. However, over all
 colonies we observed a significant difference in the distribution of
 patrilines between workers and worker-produced queens, and this difference
 was significant in three out of 13 colonies. In addition, six colonies
 contained a low percentage of foreign workers (drifters) and in one colony
 they produced a disproportionably high number of queens. Hence, we found
 some evidence for the occurrence of rare cheating genotypes. Nevertheless,
 cheating appears to be less pronounced than in the Cape Honey bee, a
 species with a similar reproductive system. We argue that worker
 reproduction by parthenogenesis might not be common in natural populations
 of C. cursor.

title: Data from: Examining disease prevalence for species of conservation concern using non-invasive spatial capture-recapture techniques

description: 1. Non-invasive techniques have long been used to estimate wildlife
 population abundance and density. However, recent technological
 breakthroughs have facilitated non-invasive estimation of the proportion
 of animal populations with certain diseases. Giraffes Giraffa
 camelopardalisare increasingly becoming recognized as a species of
 conservation concern with decreasing population trajectories across their
 range in Africa. 2. Diseases may be an important component impacting
 giraffe population declines, and the emerging ‘Giraffe Skin Disease’
 (GSD), characterized by the appearance of wrinkled skin and alopecic
 lesions on the limbs, neck, and chest of infected giraffe, may hinder
 movement causing increased susceptibility to predation. 3. We examined the
 prevalence of GSD in Tanzania's Ruaha National Park over a 4-month
 period in 2015, using photographic capture–recapture surveys via
 road-based transects. We divided the study area into five circuitous
 survey units, each approximately 100 km in length ($\bar x$ = 99.22 km, SD
 = 3.72), and surveyed for giraffes for four months. From these surveys, we
 developed a database of spatially-explicit giraffe photographs. 4. We
 processed these photos for individual identification and fitted spatial
 capture–recapture models to predict the spatial configuration of giraffe
 abundance and GSD prevalence within the study area. 5. Our results
 indicated that &gt;86% of the giraffe population showed signs of GSD
 and that the disease was more prevalent in the northern and north-eastern
 portion of Ruaha National Park. 6. Synthesis and applications. Our
 research shows that data from non-invasive surveys can be used in spatial
 capture–recapture (SCR) models to estimate the proportion of a population
 affected by a visible disease. Researchers and conservationists can use
 SCR models to better examine the variation in parameters associated with
 these populations such as sex and age class, movement, and encounter rate,
 which may be linked to the prevalence of the disease, while incorporating
 broad spatial and temporal dimensions of the population in such areas. We
 discuss the implications of this research for conservation of threatened
 species with an emphasis on disease ecology and vulnerability to
 predations, and more broadly, for wildlife conservation.

title: Data from: Effect of mutualist partner identity on plant demography

description: Mutualisms play a central role in the origin and maintenance of
 biodiversity. Because many mutualisms have strong demographic effects,
 interspecific variation in partner quality could have important
 consequences for population dynamics. Nevertheless, few studies have
 quantified how a mutualist partner influences population growth rates, and
 still fewer have compared the demographic impacts of multiple partner
 species. We used integral projection models parameterized with three years
 of census data to compare the demographic effects of two ant species -
 Crematogaster laevis and Pheidole minutula - on populations of the
 Amazonian ant-plant Maieta guianensis. Estimated population growth rates
 were positive (i.e., λ&gt;1) for all ant-plant combinations. However,
 populations with only Pheidole minutula had the highest asymptotic growth
 rate (λ=1.23), followed by those colonized by Crematogaster laevis
 (λ=1.16), and in which the partner ant alternated between C. laevis and P.
 minutula at least once during our study (λ=1.15). Our results indicate
 that the short-term superiority of a mutualist partner - in this system P.
 minutula is a better defender of plants against herbivores than C. laevis
 - can have long-term demographic consequences. Furthermore, the
 demographic effects of switching among alternative partners appear to be
 context-dependent, with no benefits to plants hosting C. laevis but a
 major cost of switching to plants hosting P. minutula. Our results
 underscore the importance of expanding the study of mutualisms beyond the
 study of pair-wise interactions to consider the demographic costs and
 benefits of interacting with different, and multiple, potential partners.

title: Data from: The roles of ecological and evolutionary processes in plant community assembly: the environment, hybridization and introgression influence co-occurrence of Eucalyptus

description: Introgressive hybridization is increasingly recognized as having
 influenced the gene pools of large genera of plants, yet it is rarely
 invoked as an explanation for why closely related plant species do not
 co-occur. Here, we asked how the environment and tendency to interbreed
 relate to neighborhood co-occurrence patterns for Eucalyptus species in
 the Grampians National Park, Victoria, Australia. We identified species
 pairs that have experienced ongoing hybridization and introgression on the
 basis of the extent of incongruence between chloroplast DNA (JLA+ region)
 and nuclear ribosomal DNA (internal transcribed spacer region)
 phylogenies, geographic patterns of gene sharing, and field observation of
 intermediate morphologies. Co-occurrence, trait data (specific leaf area
 [SLA], maximum height, and seed mass), and environmental data were
 measured in plots distributed along environmental gradients. Trait and
 habitat similarity influenced species co-occurrence the most overall
 (e.g., co-occurring species had similar SLA). Reproductively compatible
 species were an exception; they rarely co-occurred despite being
 functionally similar. The negative effect of reproductive compatibility
 was stronger than the positive effect of SLA on co-occurrence. Our results
 emphasize the dominant roles of the environment and the importance of
 evolution in structuring local assemblages. We argue that the mechanism
 responsible for preventing closely related species from co-occurring in
 this system is reproductive interference rather than competitive
 exclusion. Reproductive interference should be considered more generally
 as a potential cause of phylogenetic overdispersion.
