title: Data from: Prominent intra-specific genetic divergence within Anopheles gambiae sibling species triggered by habitat discontinuities across a riverine landscape

description: The Anopheles gambiae complex of mosquitoes includes malaria vectors at
 different stages of speciation, whose study enables a better understanding
 of how adaptation to divergent environmental conditions leads to evolution
 of reproductive isolation. We investigated the population genetic
 structure of closely-related sympatric taxa that have recently been
 proposed as separate species (An. coluzzii and An. gambiae), sampled from
 diverse habitats along the Gambia River in West Africa. We characterised
 putatively neutral microsatellite loci as well as chromosomal inversion
 polymorphisms known to be associated with ecological adaptation. The
 results revealed strong ecologically-associated population subdivisions
 within both species. Microsatellite loci at chromosome-3L revealed a clear
 differentiation between coastal and inland populations, which in An.
 coluzzii is reinforced by a peculiar inversion polymorphism pattern,
 supporting the hypothesis of genetic divergence driven by adaptation to
 the coastal habitat. Striking genetic differences, compatible with a
 strong reduction of gene-flow, were observed between An. gambiae
 populations west and east of an extensively rice-cultivated region
 exclusively occupied by An. coluzzii. Notably, this ‘intra-specific’
 differentiation was higher than that observed between the two species and
 involved also the centromeric region of chromosome-X which has previously
 been considered a marker of speciation within this complex, suggesting
 that the two populations may be at an advanced stage of reproductive
 isolation triggered by human-made habitat fragmentation. These results
 confirm ongoing ecological speciation within these most important
 Afro-tropical malaria vectors and raise new questions on the possible
 effect of this process in malaria transmission.

title: Data from: Towards cleaner environment: Recycling microalgal co-product to reduce environmental impact while eliminating fishmeal in rainbow trout feed for sustainable aquaculture

description: The rapid increase in aquaculture over the last several decades has led to concerns about the environmental impact of fish feeds relying on marine resources for fishmeal (FM). We aim to assess <i>Nannochloropsis</i> sp. QH25 co-product as a viable and sustainable replacement for FM in juvenile rainbow trout, <i>Oncorhynchus mykiss</i>, feeds. We formulated four experimental diets: a reference (FM based), 33N, 66N, and 100N diet (33%, 66%, and 100% co-product replacement). Rainbow trout were randomly assigned to one of 16 tanks and randomly assigned an experimental diet to consume throughout the experiment (64 days total), with four replicate tanks per diet. We compared the phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) digestibility, emissions, and growth between diets and, compared six environmental impacts (biotic resource use (BRU), global warming potential (GWP), water use, land use, marine eutrophication potential (MEP), and freshwater eutrophication potential (FEP)) of each diet. Our results indicate that replacing FM with co-product did not significantly alter growth. P digestibility of the experimental and reference diets was comparable. BRU conversion ratio was significantly lower in the experimental diets. However, there were significantly higher water and land use conversion ratios but insignificantly higher results in GWP, MEP, and FEP between the reference and 100N diet.

title: Data from: Exotic flies maintain pollination services as native pollinators decline with agricultural expansion

description: 1.Globally, conversion of natural habitat to agricultural land is a
 primary driver of declines in critical ecosystem services, including
 pollination. However, exotic species are often well-adapted to
 human-modified environments and could compensate for ecosystem services
 that are lost when native species decline. 2.We measured pollination
 services (pollen delivery to stigma) provided by wild insects to a mass
 flowering crop, pak choi Brassica rapa at 12 sites across a gradient of
 increasing agricultural land use (agricultural expansion) in New Zealand.
 3.We found that pollination services increased as the proportion of
 agricultural land in the surrounding landscape increased; pollination from
 exotic species exceeded the loss of pollination from native species.
 However, pollination service delivery became increasingly dominated by a
 few exotic fly species that were active throughout the day, compared to
 native species, which had more constrained activity patterns. 4.Synthesis
 and applications. The best way to ensure continued sufficient crop
 pollination is to protect and restore diverse natural habitats on or
 around farms, as species-rich pollinator communities are relatively
 resilient to further environmental change. However, we show that where
 human-driven disturbance has caused loss of native pollinator species,
 exotic pollinators can maintain sufficient pollination. Therefore, in
 areas where native species loss cannot easily be reversed, decisions about
 pesticide use and habitat provision that foster populations of beneficial
 exotic species are likely to maintain pollination service delivery, at
 least in the short term. This highlights the need for land managers to
 identify the pollinator communities that are present on their farms,
 whether native or exotic, and make decisions to support these important
 communities accordingly.

title: Data from: Selection for population specific adaptation has shaped patterns of variation in the photoperiod pathway genes in Arabidopsis lyrata during post glacial colonization

description: Spatially varying selection can lead to population-specific adaptation,
 which is often recognized at the phenotypic level; however, the genetic
 evidence is weaker in many groups of organisms. In plants, environmental
 shifts that occur due to colonization of a novel environment may require
 adaptive changes in the timing of growth and flowering, which are often
 governed by location-specific environmental cues such as day length. We
 studied locally varying selection in 19 flowering time loci in nine
 populations of the perennial herb Arabidopsis lyrata, which has a wide but
 patchy distribution in temperate and boreal regions of the northern
 hemisphere. The populations differ in their recent population demographic
 and colonization histories and current environmental conditions,
 especially in the growing season length. We searched for
 population-specific molecular signatures of directional selection by
 comparing a set of candidate flowering time loci with a genomic reference
 set within each population using multiple approaches and contrasted the
 patterns of different populations. The candidate loci possessed
 approximately 20 % of the diversity of the reference loci. On average the
 flowering time loci had more rare alleles (a smaller Tajima’s D) and an
 excess of highly differentiated sites relative to the reference,
 suggesting positive selection. The strongest signal of selection was
 detected in photoperiodic pathway loci in the colonizing populations of
 Northwestern Europe, whereas no evidence of positive selection was
 detected in the Central European populations. These findings emphasized
 the population-specific nature of selection and suggested that
 photoperiodic adaptation was important during post-glacial colonization of
 the species.

title: Data from: Ten-year responses of ground-dwelling spiders to retention harvest in the boreal forest

description: The Ecosystem Management Emulating Natural Disturbances (EMEND) project
 tests the hypothesis that varying levels of green tree retention maintain
 and retain forest biodiversity better than conventional clear-cutting. We
 studied epigaeic spiders to assess biodiversity changes two, five and ten
 years following a range of partial retention harvests (clear-cut, 10-75%
 retention) and unharvested controls in four boreal mixedwood cover-types.
 A total of 56, 371 adult spiders representing 220 species was collected
 using pitfall traps. Lasting effects on forest structure were proportional
 to harvest intensity. These changes strongly influenced spider richness,
 abundance and species composition, as well as assemblage recovery.
 Distinctive assemblages were associated with disturbance level, especially
 with partial harvests (≤50% retention), and these were dominated by
 open-habitat species even ten years after harvest. Assemblages were more
 similar to those of controls in the highest (75%) retention treatment, but
 significant recovery toward the structure of pre-disturbance assemblages
 was not detected for any prescription in any cover-type. Although early
 responses to retention harvest suggested positive effects on spider
 assemblages, these are better explained as lag effects after harvest
 because assemblages were less similar to those of unharvested controls
 five years post-harvest, and only minor recovery was observed ten years
 following harvest. Retention of forest biodiversity decreased over time,
 especially in conifer stands and the lower (10-50%) retention treatments.
 Overall, retention harvests retained biodiversity and promoted landscape
 heterogeneity somewhat better than clear-cutting; however, there was a
 clear gradient of response and no retention ‘threshold’ for conservation
 can be recommended on the basis of our data. Furthermore, results suggest
 that retention harvest prescriptions should be adjusted for cover-type. We
 show that low retention ameliorated impacts in broadleaved forests
 characteristic of earlier stages in mixedwood succession, but only higher
 retention was associated with less impact in successionally older conifer
 forests. Although these short-term responses (10 years) of spider
 assemblages support use of retention harvests, understanding the true
 conservation merit of these practices, relative to conventional
 approaches, requires evaluation over longer time scales, with work more
 focused on recovery of biodiversity than on its preservation after
 harvest.

title: Data from: Spatial genetic structure in four understory Psychotria species and implications for tropical forest diversity

description: Premise of the study: Tropical forests are the most species-rich
 terrestrial communities on Earth, and understory trees and shrubs comprise
 a large fraction of their plant species diversity, especially at high
 rainfalls. The mechanisms responsible for generating such high levels of
 diversity remain unknown. One hypothesis is that fleshy-fruited understory
 species should have limited seed dispersal due to the sedentary nature of
 their avian dispersers, resulting in restricted gene flow, population
 differentiation at small spatial scales, and ultimately, high rates of
 allopatric speciation. Methods: We sampled four species of the
 hyperdiverse tropical shrub genus Psychotria (Rubiaceae) on Barro Colorado
 Island (BCI) and two nearby sites in Panama. We genotyped each species
 with AFLPs, assessed genetic differentiation among populations, and
 determined patterns of fine-scale spatial genetic structure in the BCI
 population. Measures of spatial autocorrelation and population density
 were used to estimate the dispersal distance parameter σ. Key results:
 Regionally, ΦPT values ranged from 0.13 to 0.28, reflecting local
 population differentiation and suggesting that Lake Gatun/Rio Chagres has
 posed a relatively strong barrier to gene flow. Fine-scale spatial genetic
 structure on BCI was stronger than in most canopy trees, and estimated
 distances of gene flow were unusually low for endozoochorous tropical
 woody plants, with dispersal distance σ = 9–113 m. Conclusions: These
 results demonstrate comparatively limited gene flow in bird-dispersed
 understory species, supporting a hypothesized mechanism for generating
 high levels of plant species diversity in tropical rain forests, in one of
 the largest genera of flowering plants on Earth.

title: Data from: The ‘duck-billed’ dinosaurs of Careless Creek (Upper Cretaceous of Montana, USA), with comments on hadrosaurid ontogeny

description: The Careless Creek Quarry (CCQ) is a multitaxic bonebed in the Campanian
 Judith River Formation of south-central Montana (USA) that produced a
 diverse assemblage of vertebrates, including several dinosaurian clades.
 We describe the morphology of the CCQ hadrosaurid material and reevaluate
 its taxonomic affinities. Our osteological comparative observations,
 coupled with maximum parsimony phylogenetic analyses, indicate that the
 majority of the hadrosaurid material is referable to kritosaurin
 saurolophines. Only an ischium is unambiguously referable to
 Lambeosaurinae. Most of the kritosaurin specimens likely represent a taxon
 that forms a polytomy with species of Gryposaurus and Rhinorex condrupus
 Gates and Sheetz, 2015. This form may represent individuals of either G.
 latidens Horner, 1992 or G. notabilis Lambe, 1914, or a new species
 cogeneric or not with Gryposaurus. The juvenile material exemplifies
 several patterns of mandibular and appendicular osteological variation
 previously observed in other hadrosaurids. However, it also shows some
 departures from the common trends, supporting the fact that not all
 skeletal growth changes can be generalized to all hadrosaurids.

title: Data from: The genetic structure of Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis, populations in China: haplotype variance in Northern populations and potential impact on management of resistance to transgenic maize

description: Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée), is a severe pest that
 infests cultivated maize in the major production regions of China.
 Populations show genotype-by-environment variation in voltinism, such that
 populations with a single generation (univoltine) are fixed in Northern
 China where growing seasons are short. Low genetic differentiation was
 found among samples from 33 collection sites across China and one site
 from North Korea (n = 1,673) using variation at 6 nuclear microsatellite
 loci (ENA corrected global FST = 0.020; P-value &lt; 0.05). Analysis
 of molecular variance (AMOVA) indicated that geographic region, number of
 generations or voltinism accounted for &lt; 0.38% of the total genetic
 variation at nuclear loci and was corroborated by clustering of
 co-ancestries among genotypes using the program STRUCTURE. In contrast, a
 mitochondrial haplotype network identified four distinct clusters, where
 70.5% of samples from univoltine populations were within a single group.
 Univoltine populations were also placed into a unique cluster using
 Population Graph and Principal Component analyses, which showed
 significant differentiation with multivoltine populations (ST = 0.400;
 P-value &lt; 0.01). This study suggests that gene flow among O.
 furnacalis in China may be high among regions, with the exception of
 northeastern localities. Haplotype variation may be due to random genetic
 drift resulting from partial reproductive isolation between univoltine and
 multivoltine O. furnacalis populations. Such reproductive isolation might
 impact the potential spread of alleles that confer resistance to
 transgenic maize in China.

title: Data from: Reproductive performance of a declining forest passerine in relation to environmental and social factors: implications for species conservation

description: Identifying factors influencing a species’ ecological niche and demography
 is a prerequisite for species conservation. However, our understanding of
 the interplay between demographic rates and biotic/abiotic factors is
 still poor for most species of conservation concern. We evaluated
 relevance of eight hypotheses relating to timing of breeding, temporal
 nest exposure, nest concealment, topography, tree structure, predation
 risk and disturbance, density dependence and weather for explaining
 variation in reproductive performance of the declining wood warbler
 Phylloscopus sibilatrix in northern Switzerland. Reproductive performance
 was monitored with cameras at 136 nests from 2010 to 2012 and was
 associated to temporal exposure, timing of breeding and concealment of
 nests. Daily nest survival was positively related to the number of grass
 and sedge tussocks, nest concealment and nest age. Clutch size and number
 of fledglings decreased, the later in the season a nest was initiated.
 Nest survival over an average nesting period of 32 days was 44.5 ± 0.07 %
 (mean ± SE), daily nest survival rate (dnsr) was 0.975 ± 0.002. As for
 many ground-breeding birds, nest predation was the principal cause of nest
 failure, accounting for 79 % of all nest losses. Conservation measures
 should aim at increasing the area of relatively homogenous forest stands
 featuring suitable habitats characterized by abundant and accessible grass
 and sedge tussocks. Such conditions can be found in forest stands of
 middle age (i.e. pole wood) with little to no shrub layer.
