title: Data from: A shady business: pine afforestation alters the primary controls on litter decomposition along a precipitation gradient in Patagonia, Argentina

description: Our understanding of the principal controls on litter decomposition is
 critical for our capacity to predict how global changes will impact
 terrestrial ecosystems. Although climate, litter quality and soil
 organisms clearly modulate carbon (C) and nutrient turnover, land-use
 change affecting plant species composition and structure can alter the
 relative importance of such controls. We took advantage of prior land-use
 changes of intentional planting of exotic forest species along a broad
 precipitation gradient [250–2200 mm mean annual precipitation (MAP)] in
 Patagonia, South America, where we established five paired sites in
 natural vegetation and adjacent 35-year-old pine plantations. We explored
 direct and interactive effects of precipitation and plant community
 structure on litter decomposition with in situ decomposition, common
 litters and reciprocal transplants, in addition to an evaluation of
 microenvironmental changes. Surface litter decomposition in natural
 vegetation (NV) was similar in all sites along the gradient, independent
 of litter quality, MAP or soil characteristics, while mass loss
 demonstrated a significant positive linear relationship with MAP in pine
 plantations (PP). Decomposition of common litters in PP was markedly
 reduced with respect to NV, which was &gt; 50% faster at the arid
 extreme of the gradient. C:N ratios predicted decomposition only in PP,
 and differences in decomposition were highly correlated with impacts of
 vegetative cover on incident solar radiation. Synthesis. Concurrent
 changes in plant cover in NV with increasing MAP resulted in reduced
 incident solar radiation at the soil surface and decreased the relative
 importance of photodegradation as a control on surface mass loss. These
 changes eclipsed direct effects of water availability, litter quality and
 soil nutrients. In contrast, increased shade and recalcitrant litter with
 afforestation in PP sites combined such that photodegradation was entirely
 eliminated as a control and biotic decomposition was much reduced. While
 afforestation projects are promoted as a strategy to mitigate increased
 atmospheric carbon dioxide due to human activity, our results highlight
 that primary controls of litter decomposition were substantially altered
 with unexpected consequences for the C balance of these ecosystems.

title: Data from: Evidence of weaker phenotypic plasticity by prey to novel cues from non-native predators

description: A central question in evolutionary biology is how coevolutionary history
 between predator and prey influences their interactions. Contemporary
 global change and range expansion of exotic organisms impose a great
 challenge for prey species, which are increasingly exposed to invading
 non-native predators, with which they share no evolutionary history. Here,
 we complete a comprehensive survey of empirical studies of coevolved and
 naive predator−prey interactions to assess whether a shared evolutionary
 history with predators influences the magnitude of predator-induced
 defenses mounted by prey. Using marine bivalves and gastropods as model
 prey, we found that coevolved prey and predator-naive prey showed large
 discrepancies in magnitude of predator-induced phenotypic plasticity.
 Although naive prey, predominantly among bivalve species, did exhibit some
 level of plasticity – prey exposed to native predators showed
 significantly larger amounts of phenotypic plasticity. We discuss these
 results and the implications they may have for native communities and
 ecosystems.

title: Data from: Juvenile social experience affects pairing success at adulthood: congruence with the loser effect?

description: Social interactions with adults are often critical for the development of
 mating behaviours. However, the potential role of other primary social
 partners such as juvenile counterparts is rarely considered. Most
 interestingly, it is not known whether interactions with juvenile females
 improve males’ courtship and whether, similar to the winner and loser
 effects in a fighting context—outcome of these interactions shapes males’
 behaviour in future encounters. We investigated the combined effects of
 male quality and juvenile social experience on pairing success at
 adulthood in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata). We manipulated brood
 size to alter male quality and then placed males in either same- or
 mixed-sex juvenile dyads until adulthood. We found that males from reduced
 broods obtained more copulations and males from mixed-sex dyads had more
 complete courtships. Furthermore, independent of their quality, males that
 failed to pair with juvenile females, but not juvenile males, had a lower
 pairing success at adulthood. Our study shows that negative social
 experience with peers during adolescence may be a potent determinant of
 pairing success that can override the effects of early environmental
 conditions on male attractiveness and thereby supports the occurrence of
 an analogous process to the loser effect in a mating context.

title: Data from: Point of impact: the effect of size and speed on puncture mechanics

description: The use of high-speed puncture mechanics for prey capture has been
 documented across a wide range of organisms, including vertebrates,
 arthropods, molluscs and cnidarians. These examples span four phyla and
 seven orders of magnitude difference in size. The commonality of these
 puncture systems offers an opportunity to explore how organisms at
 different scales and with differentmaterials,morphologies and kinematics
 performthe same basic function. However, there is currently no framework
 for combining kinematic performance with cutting mechanics in biological
 puncture systems. Our aim here is to establish this framework by examining
 the effects of size and velocity in a series of controlled ballistic
 puncture experiments. Arrows of identical shape but varying in mass and
 speed were shot into cubes of ballistic gelatine. Results from high-speed
 videography shows that projectile velocity can alter how the target gel
 responds to cutting. Mixed models comparing kinematic variables and
 puncture patterns indicate that the kinetic energy of a projectile is a
 better predictor of penetration than either momentum or velocity. These
 results form a foundation for studying the effects of impact on biological
 puncture, opening the door for future work to explore the influence of
 morphology and material organization on high-speed cutting dynamics.

title: Data from: Fungal symbionts as manipulators of plant reproductive biology

description: Symbioses have shaped the evolution of life, most notably through the
 fixation of heritable symbionts into organelles. The inheritance of
 symbionts promotes mutualism and fixation by coupling partner fitness.
 However, conflicts arise if symbionts are transmitted through only one sex
 and can shift host resources toward the sex through which they propagate.
 Such reproductive manipulators have been documented in animals with
 separate sexes but not in other phyla or sexual systems. Here we
 investigated whether the investment in male relative to female
 reproduction differed between hermaphroditic host plants with versus
 without a maternally inherited fungal symbiont. Plants with the fungus
 produced more seeds and less pollen than plants lacking the fungus,
 resulting in an ∼40% shift in functional gender and a switch from
 male-biased to female-biased sex allocation. Given the ubiquity of
 endophytes in plants, reproductive manipulators of hermaphrodites may be
 widespread in nature.

title: Data from: Predators inhibit brain cell proliferation in natural populations of electric fish, Brachyhypopomus occidentals

description: Compared to laboratory environments, complex natural environments promote
 brain cell proliferation and neurogenesis. Predators are one important
 feature of many natural environments, and, in the laboratory, predatory
 stimuli tend to inhibit brain cell proliferation. Often, laboratory
 predator stimuli also elevate plasma glucocorticoids, which can then
 reduce brain cell proliferation. However, it is unknown how natural
 predators affect cell proliferation or whether glucocorticoids mediate the
 neurogenic response to natural predators. We examined brain cell
 proliferation in six populations of the electric fish, Brachyhypopomus
 occidentalis, exposed to three forms of predator stimuli: a) natural
 variation in the density of predatory catfish, b) tail injury, presumably
 from predation attempts, and c) the acute stress of capture. Populations
 with higher predation pressure had lower density of proliferating (PCNA+)
 cells, and fish with injured tails had lower proliferating cell density
 than those with intact tails. However, plasma cortisol did not vary at the
 populationlevel according to predation pressure or at the individual level
 according to tail injury. Capture stress significantly increased cortisol,
 but only marginally decreased cell proliferation. Thus, it appears that
 the presence of natural predators inhibits brain cell proliferation, but
 not via mechanisms that depend on changes in basal cortisol levels. This
 study is the first demonstration of predator-induced alteration of brain
 cell proliferation in a free-living vertebrate.

title: Data from: Cryptic lineages in the Wolf Cardinalfish living in sympatry on remote coral atolls

description: Coral reef health and biodiversity is under threat worldwide due to rapid
 climate change. However, much of the inter- and intra-specific diversity
 of coral reefs are undescribed even in well studied taxa such as fish.
 Delimiting previously unrecognised diversity is important for
 understanding the processes that generate and sustain biodiversity in
 coral reef ecosystems and informing strategies for their conservation and
 management. Many taxa that inhabit geographically isolated coral reefs
 rely on self-recruitment for population persistence, providing the
 opportunity for the evolution of unique genetic lineages through divergent
 selection and reproductive isolation. Many such lineages in corals and
 fish are morphologically similar or indistinguishable. Here, we report the
 discovery and characterisation of cryptic lineages of the Wolf
 Cardinalfish, Cheilodipterus artus, from the coral atolls of northwest
 Australia using multiple molecular markers from mitochondrial (CO1 and
 D-loop) and nuclear (microsatellites) DNA. Concordant results from all
 markers identified two highly divergent lineages that are morphologically
 cryptic and reproductively isolated. These lineages co-occurred at daytime
 resting sites, but the relative abundance of each lineage was strongly
 correlated with wave exposure. It appears, therefore, that fish from each
 lineage are better adapted to different microhabitats. Such cryptic and
 ecologically based diversity appears to be common in these atolls and may
 well aid resilience of these systems. Our results also highlight that
 underwater surveys based on visual identification clearly underestimate
 biodiversity, and that a taxonomic revision of the Cheilodipterus genus is
 necessary.

title: Data from: A biphasic locomotor response to acute unsignaled high temperature exposure in Drosophila.

description: Unsignaled stress can have profound effects on animal behavior. While most
 investigation of stress-effects on behavior follows chronic exposures,
 less is understood about acute exposures and potential after-effects. We
 examined walking activity in Drosophila following acute exposure to high
 temperature or electric shock. Compared to initial walking activity, flies
 first increase walking with exposure to high temperatures then have a
 strong reduction in activity. These effects are related to the intensity
 of the high temperature and number of exposures. The reduction in walking
 activity following high temperature and electric shock exposures survives
 context changes and lasts at least five hours. Reduction in the function
 of the biogenic amines octopamine / tyramine and serotonin both strongly
 blunt the increase in locomotor activity with high temperature exposure.
 However, neither set of biogenic amines alter the long lasting depression
 in walking activity after exposure.

title: Data from: Spatial and ecological population genetic structures within two island-endemic Aeonium species of different niche width

description: The Crassulacean genus Aeonium is a well-known example for plant species
 radiation on oceanic archipelagos. However, while allopatric speciation
 among islands is documented for this genus, the role of intra-island
 speciation due to population divergence by topographical isolation or
 ecological heterogeneity has not yet been addressed. The aim of this study
 was to investigate intraspecific genetic structures and to identify
 spatial and ecological drivers of genetic population differentiation on
 the island scale. We analyzed inter simple sequence repeat variation
 within two island-endemic Aeonium species of La Palma: one widespread
 generalist that covers a large variety of different habitat types (Ae.
 davidbramwellii) and one narrow ecological specialist (Ae. nobile), in
 order to assess evolutionary potentials on this island. Gene pool
 differentiation and genetic diversity patterns were associated with major
 landscape structures in both species, with phylogeographic implications.
 However, overall levels of genetic differentiation were low. For the
 generalist species, outlier loci detection and loci–environment
 correlation approaches indicated moderate signatures of divergent
 selection pressures linked to temperature and precipitation variables,
 while the specialist species missed such patterns. Our data point to
 incipient differentiation among populations, emphasizing that ecological
 heterogeneity and topographical structuring within the small scales of an
 island can foster evolutionary processes. Very likely, such processes have
 contributed to the radiation of Aeonium on the Canary Islands. There is
 also support for different evolutionary mechanisms between generalist and
 specialist species.

title: Data from: Assessing stable isotope dynamics of diapausing Calanus finmarchicus and C. hyperboreus during the overwintering period: a laboratory experiment

description: This study aimed at describing changes in the stable isotopic composition
 of late copepodite stage V (CV) subarctic marine copepods (Calanus
 finmarchicus and C. hyperboreus) during overwintering non-feeding periods.
 Diapausing stage CVs sampled in deep waters of the Lower St. Lawrence
 Estuary (Québec, Canada) in late-September 2009 were monitored for 4
 months under controlled laboratory conditions. CVs and newly moulted
 adults were analyzed for δ13C and δ15N signatures as well as lipid, carbon
 and nitrogen content. Lipids were extracted in half of the samples to
 compare δ13C of individuals with and without lipids and to evaluate the
 accuracy of mass balance correction models for δ13C under lipid influence.
 Lipid content generally decreased with time for both species, which was
 reflected in an increase of δ13C values of CVs but a constant δ13C in
 newly moulted adults. Accordingly, lipid extraction resulted in an
 increase of δ13C in CVs and adults. The mean δ13C signature of
 lipid-extracted individuals remained constant through the time for CVs of
 both species and for C. finmarchicus adults. δ15N signatures of
 individuals increased after lipid extraction, but this did not result in a
 constant value over time, suggesting that several endogenous metabolic
 processes affected nitrogen isotopic content. The accuracy of the mass
 balance model differed between species and stages, suggesting that lipid
 extraction should always be performed prior to applying mathematical
 corrections.
