title: Data from: Anthropogenic increases in nutrients alter sexual selection dynamics: a case study in butterflies

description: Anthropogenic increases in nutrient availability offer opportunities to
 study evolutionary shifts in sexual selection dynamics in real time. A
 rapid increase in nutrient availability may reduce the utility of
 condition-dependent ornaments as signals of quality and lessen any
 nutritional benefits to females from re-mating. We explored these ideas
 using cabbage white butterflies, focusing on nitrogen as a nutrient, as it
 is important to this species in not only in ornamentation but also as a
 key macronutrient transferred in spermatophores. We compared a
 non-agricultural population to an agricultural population, which has seen
 an increase in nitrogen availability over the last 40 years due in part to
 fertilizer application. When reared in a common garden, both male and
 female butterflies from the agricultural population allocate significantly
 more to nitrogen-rich wing pigments used in mate choice. However, this
 increase in allocation is not correlated with an increase in the ability
 to assimilate nitrogen from their diet. Spermatophore counts from wild
 females show that females in the agricultural population rarely mate more
 than once, while those in the non-agricultural population are much more
 likely to be polyandrous. Similarly, the structure in the female
 reproductive tract that processes spermatophores has evolved lower tooth
 density in the agricultural population, consistent with the idea that
 these females benefit less from high throughput of spermatophores. These
 results suggest that anthropogenic increases in nutrient availability have
 altered sexual selection dynamics and the evolution of sexual traits:
 investment in ornamentation has increased, and there has been a decline in
 the nutritional benefits of re-mating in females.

title: Data from: Aeroecology meets aviation safety: early warning systems in Europe and the Middle East prevent collisions between birds and aircraft

description: The aerosphere is utilized by billions of birds, moving for different
 reasons and from short to great distances spanning tens of thousands of
 kilometres. The aerosphere, however, is also utilized by aviation which
 leads to increasing conflicts in and around airfields as well as en-route.
 Collisions between birds and aircraft cost billions of euros annually and,
 in some cases, result in the loss of human lives. Simultaneously, aviation
 has diverse negative impacts on wildlife. During avian migration, due to
 the sheer numbers of birds in the air, the risk of bird strikes becomes
 particularly acute for low-flying aircraft, especially during military
 training flights. Over the last few decades, air forces across Europe and
 the Middle East have been developing solutions that integrate ecological
 research and aviation policy to reduce mutual negative interactions
 between birds and aircraft. In this paper we (1) provide a brief overview
 of the systems currently used in military aviation to monitor bird
 migration movements in the aerosphere, (2) provide a brief overview of the
 impact of bird strikes on military low-level operations, and (3) estimate
 the effectiveness of migration monitoring systems in bird strike
 avoidance. We compare systems from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany,
 Poland and Israel, which are all areas that Palearctic migrants cross
 twice a year in huge numbers. We show that the en-route bird strikes have
 decreased considerably in countries where avoidance systems have been
 implemented, and that consequently bird strikes are on average 45% less
 frequent in countries with implemented avoidance systems in place. We
 conclude by showing the roles of operational weather radar networks,
 forecast models and international and interdisciplinary collaboration to
 create safer skies for aviation and birds.

title: Data from: Genotypic diversity enhances invasive ability of Spartina alterniflora

description: Although genetic diversity is very important for alien species, which have
 to cope with new environments, little is known about the role that genetic
 diversity plays in their invasive success. In this study, we set up a
 manipulation experiment including three levels of genotypic diversity to
 test whether genotypic diversity can enhance the invasive ability of alien
 species, in our case the invasive Spartina alterniflora in China, and to
 infer the underlying mechanisms. There was no significant relationship
 between genotypic diversity and parameters of performance in the first
 year; however, from the summer of the second year onwards, genotypic
 diversity enhanced four of the six parameters of performance. After two
 growing seasons, there were significant positive relationships between
 genotypic diversity and maximum spread distance, patch size, shoot number
 per patch, and aboveground biomass. Moreover, abundance of the native
 dominant species Scirpus mariqueter was marginally significantly decreased
 with genotypic diversity of S. alterniflora, suggesting that enhanced
 invasive ability of S. alterniflora may have depressed the growth of the
 native species. There was no significant difference in most measures of
 performance among six genotypes, but we observed a transgressive over
 performance in four measures in multiple-genotype patches. At the end of
 the experiment, there were significant nonadditive effects of genotypic
 diversity according to Monte Carlo permutations, in six-genotype, but not
 three-genotype plots. Our results indicated that both additive and
 nonadditive effects played roles in the positive relationship between
 genetic diversity and invasion success, and nonadditive effects were
 stronger as duration increased.

title: Data from: Selection by pollinators on floral traits in generalized Trollius ranunculoides (Ranunculaceae) along altitudinal gradients

description: Abundance and visitation of pollinator assemblages tend to decrease with
 altitude, leading to an increase in pollen limitation. Thus increased
 competition for pollinators may generate stronger selection on attractive
 traits of flowers at high elevations and cause floral adaptive evolution.
 Few studies have related geographically variable selection from
 pollinators and intraspecific floral differentiation. We investigated the
 variation of Trollius ranunculoides flowers and its pollinators along an
 altitudinal gradient on the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and measured
 phenotypic selection by pollinators on floral traits across populations.
 The results showed significant decline of visitation rate of bees along
 altitudinal gradients, while flies was unchanged. When fitness is
 estimated by the visitation rate rather than the seed number per plant,
 phenotypic selection on the sepal length and width shows a significant
 correlation between the selection strength and the altitude, with stronger
 selection at higher altitudes. However, significant decreases in the sepal
 length and width of T. ranunculoides along the altitudinal gradient did
 not correspond to stronger selection of pollinators. In contrast to the
 pollinator visitation, mean annual precipitation negatively affected the
 sepal length and width, and contributed more to geographical variation in
 measured floral traits than the visitation rate of pollinators. Therefore,
 the sepal size may have been influenced by conflicting selection pressures
 from biotic and abiotic selective agents. This study supports the
 hypothesis that lower pollinator availability at high altitude can
 intensify selection on flower attractive traits, but abiotic selection is
 preventing a response to selection from pollinators.

title: Data from: Endure and call for help: strategies of black mustard plants to deal with a specialised caterpillar

description: Plants have evolved inducible resistance and tolerance mechanisms against
 insect herbivores. Resistance mechanisms that affect herbivorous insects
 directly can be effective against generalist herbivores, but will not
 deter specialist herbivores from attacking the plant. Tolerance mechanisms
 and indirect plant resistance are more likely effective strategies used by
 plants when dealing with specialist herbivores. However, inducible
 indirect resistance and tolerance mechanisms have rarely been investigated
 within the same study system. We studied multiple tolerance mechanisms and
 the role of natural enemies in reducing fitness loss of Brassica nigra
 plants incurred by feeding by the specialist herbivore Pieris brassicae.
 For this, we measured the changes in carbon and nitrogen triggered by
 herbivore attack and quantified plant biomass and seed production under
 field conditions, in the presence or absence of natural enemies of the
 herbivores. We also assessed whether B. nigra increased selfing rates when
 exposed to herbivore infestation, and investigated whether infestation by
 P. brassicae rendered B. nigra plants more attractive to night-active
 pollinators than control plants. We found that B. nigra flowers are rarely
 visited by insects during the night, and exposure to herbivores did not
 influence selfing rates. Brassica nigra plants compensated for herbivory
 in terms of vegetative biomass. Seed set was negatively affected by
 herbivory in the absence of natural enemies, but not in the presence of
 natural enemies. Plants responded to herbivory with drastic changes in
 nitrogen contents of leaves and flowers, whereas no changes in carbon
 concentrations were detected. The investment in reproduction or re-growth
 of vegetative tissues is not sufficient to sustain plant fitness.
 Reproductive output of flowering mustard plants is only sustained when
 interactions with the natural enemies of the herbivores are preserved. We
 conclude that natural enemies of herbivorous insects play an important
 role as component of the plant's defence strategy. This study reveals
 that both tolerance and indirect resistance are strategies of this plant
 species to sustain fitness.

title: Data from: Sensitivity to phosphorus limitation increases with ploidy level in a New Zealand snail

description: Evolutionary and ecological factors that explain natural variation in
 ploidy level remain poorly understood. One intriguing possibility is that
 nutrient costs associated with higher per-cell nucleic acid content could
 differentially influence the fitness of different ploidy levels. Here, we
 test this hypothesis by determining whether access to phosphorus (P), a
 main component of nucleic acids, differentially affects growth rate in
 asexual freshwater snails (Potamopyrgus antipodarum) that differ in
 ploidy. As expected if larger genomes generate higher dietary P
 requirements, tetraploid P. antipodarum experienced a more than two-fold
 greater reduction in growth rate in low- vs. high-P conditions relative to
 triploids. Mirroring these results, tetraploid P. antipodarum also had a
 significant reduction in body P content under low P relative to high P,
 while triploid body P content was unaffected. Taken together, these
 results set the stage for the possibility that P availability could
 influence the distribution and relative frequency of P. antipodarum of
 different ploidy levels. These findings could be applicable to many other
 animal taxa featuring ploidy-level variation, which includes most mixed
 sexual/asexual taxa.

title: Data from: Genetic determinants for gestational diabetes mellitus and related metabolic traits in Mexican women

description: Epidemiological and physiological similarities among Gestational Diabetes
 Mellitus (GDM) and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) suggest that both diseases, share
 a common genetic background. T2D risk variants have been associated to GDM
 susceptibility. However, the genetic architecture of GDM is not yet
 completely understood. We analyzed 176 SNPs for 115 loci previously
 associated to T2D, GDM and body mass index (BMI), as well as a set of 118
 Ancestry Informative Markers (AIMs), in 750 pregnant Mexican women.
 Association with GDM was found for two of the most frequently replicated
 T2D loci: a TCF7L2 haplotype (CTTC: rs7901695, rs4506565, rs7903146,
 rs12243326; P=2.16x10-06; OR=2.95) and a KCNQ1 haplotype (TTT: rs2237892,
 rs163184, rs2237897; P=1.98x10-05; OR=0.55). In addition, we found two
 loci associated to glycemic traits: CENTD2 (60’ OGTT glycemia: rs1552224,
 P=0.03727) and MTNR1B (HOMA B: rs1387153, P=0.05358). Remarkably, a major
 susceptibility SLC16A11 locus for T2D in Mexicans was not shown to play a
 role in GDM risk. The fact that two of the main T2D associated loci also
 contribute to the risk of developing GDM in Mexicans, confirm that both
 diseases share a common genetic background. However, lack of association
 with a Native American contribution T2D risk haplotype, SLC16A11, suggests
 that other genetic mechanisms may be in play for GDM.

title: Data from: Duration of propagule pressure affects non-native plant species abundances

description: Premise of the study: Invasions by non-native species are known to be
 related to present propagule pressure (e.g., the number of non-native
 seeds arriving in a site each year). However, previous studies have mostly
 ignored the potential effects of the length of time that a site has
 experienced propagule pressure. This study is novel in studying past as
 well as present propagule pressure and in demonstrating the importance of
 past propagule pressure. Methods: We tested the importance of past and
 present propagule pressure in three plant communities in central Texas. We
 quantified relationships between variables representing past and present
 propagule pressure, other environmental variables, and the abundances of
 non-native and native woody plant species. Key results: Duration of
 propagule pressure predicted non-native species richness. Sites had
 greater non-native species richness if they were nearer to development
 (houses, roads) and if nearby development was older. While mesic woodlands
 had the most native species, streamside woodlands had the most non-native
 species. Conclusions: First, future studies of non-native invasions would
 benefit from including past as well as present propagule pressure. If past
 propagule pressure is not considered its effects may be wrongly ascribed
 to present propagule pressure. Second, the non-native species in this
 study are widely used in landscaping, and development age reflects the
 years that landscaping has been present nearby. As xeriscaping becomes
 more common, streamside woodlands may someday not have the greatest
 non-native species richness: the new drought-tolerant landscaping plants
 may be better invaders of drier sites than their predecessors.

title: Data from: Genetic data reveal mixed-stock aggregations of gray whales in the North Pacific Ocean

description: Gray whales (Eschrichtius robustus) in the Western Pacific are critically
 endangered whereas in the Eastern Pacific they are relatively common.
 Holocene environmental changes and commercial whaling reduced their
 numbers, but gray whales in the Eastern Pacific now outnumber their
 Western counterparts by more than 100-fold. Herein, we investigate the
 genetic diversity and population structure within the species using a
 panel of genic SNPs. Results indicate the gray whale gene pool is
 differentiated into two substocks containing similar levels of genetic
 diversity, and that both our Eastern and Western geographic samples
 represent mixed-stock aggregations. Ongoing or future gene flow between
 the stocks may conserve genetic diversity overall but admixture has
 implications for conservation of the critically endangered Western gray
 whale.

title: Data from: Better the devil you know: avian predators find variation in prey toxicity aversive

description: Toxic prey that signal their defences to predators using conspicuous
 warning signals are called ‘aposematic’. Predators learn about the toxic
 content of aposematic prey, and reduce their attacks on them. However,
 through regulating their toxin intake, predators will include aposematic
 prey in their diets when the benefits of gaining the nutrients they
 contain outweigh the costs of ingesting the prey’s toxins. Predators face
 a problem when managing their toxin intake: prey sharing the same warning
 signal often vary in their toxicities. Given that predators should avoid
 uncertainty when managing their toxin intake, we tested if European
 starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) preferred to eat fixed-defence prey (where
 all prey contained a 2% quinine solution) to mixed-defence prey (where
 half the prey contained a 4% quinine solution and the other half contained
 only water). Our results support the idea that predators should be more
 ‘risk-averse’ when foraging on variably defended prey, and suggest that
 variation in toxicity levels could be a form of defence.

title: Data from: Two new species of Nilssoniopteris (Bennettitales) from the Middle Jurassic of Sandaoling, Turpan-Hami Basin, Xinjiang, NW China

description: Two new species of Nilssoniopteris of the order Bennettitales,
 Nilssoniopteris hamiensis Zhao and Deng, new species and Nilssoniopteris
 crassiaxis Zhao and Deng, new species, are established from the Xishanyao
 Formation (Middle Jurassic) of Sandaoling Coal Mine in Hami, Xinjiang,
 China, based on leaf macromorphology and cuticular features. N. hamiensis
 is characterized by its varied leaf shapes and trichome bases of 1–4 cells
 on the abaxial epidermis, while N. crassiaxis is characterized by its
 broad midrib (especially near the leaf base) and trichome bases of 1–3
 cells on the abaxial epidermis. Both species possess unique venation
 patterns that are not only simple and free, but also forked and merged to
 form closed loops. These anastomosing veins are even more complicated in
 N. crassiaxis in that the veins can fork once, twice, or even three times,
 the forked veins can later merge with each other or with an adjacent vein
 to form a closed loop, which may later further disjoin. The generic
 diagnosis of Nilssoniopteris is thus accordingly emended, particularly in
 the venation pattern. In addition, the stratigraphic and geographical
 distributions of all 45 Jurassic Nilssoniopteris species worldwide have
 been summarized and analyzed to better understand their brief evolutionary
 history, indicating that Nilssoniopteris might be able to grow not only in
 subtropical regions as the living cycads are but also in warm climatic
 regions.
