title: Foliar summer frost resistance measured via electrolyte leakage approach as related to plant distribution, community composition and performance

description: 1. Frost resistance (FR) is a fundamental process determining various
 aspects of plant life. Measurements of FR remain challenging as existing
 methods are time- and labour-intensive. 2. Here, we test the applicability
 of foliar summer FR measured via the ‘electrolyte leakage’ approach
 (FRPEL), a simple and inexpensive technique so far underused in ecological
 research to estimate FR. We tested the ability of this trait to predict i)
 species occurrence, ii) community composition along an elevational
 gradient, and iii) analysed its relationship to 9 other traits (SLA,
 Cmass, Nmass, Pmass, Camass, Mgmass, Kmass, canopy height and the ability
 to form rosettes) related to plant performance. We studied 183 vascular
 species occurring at 37 sites, which we also analysed in terms of species
 composition along an elevation gradient from 656 to 2363 m a.s.l. in the
 Bavarian Alps, Germany. 3. Species’ FRPEL values correlated significantly
 with the species occurrence along the elevational gradient. However, this
 relationship was weak as it explained only 10% in the variation of the
 Landolt indicator values, a proxy for species geographic ranges. We found
 a strong positive relationship between community-weighted FRPEL values and
 elevation suggesting a strong environmental filtering of this trait that
 removes species with low FR from the local species pool at high
 elevations. The community functional diversity of FRPEL significantly
 increased with increasing elevation suggesting a higher trait divergence
 in harsher climates. We found significant negative relationships between
 FRPEL and specific leaf area, canopy height and the ability to form leaf
 rosettes, indicating a trade-off in plants between the investment in
 conservative strategies, in our case FR, and fast resource acquisition. 4.
 Our study highlights the potential of using FRPEL more frequently in
 ecological research as we were able to re-confirm three patterns inferred
 by more precise yet time-consuming and labour-intensive approaches. We
 demonstrate that FRPEL can be used to predict species occurrence and infer
 assembly rules along elevational gradients. Furthermore, we found that
 FRPEL is linked to plant functional traits associated with plant
 performance and morphological features of the plants. However, the trait’s
 predictive power varied greatly among the study objectives and levels.

title: Both diet and sociality affect primate brain-size evolution

description: Increased brain size in humans and other primates is hypothesized to
 confer cognitive benefits but brings costs associated with growing and
 maintaining energetically expensive neural tissue. Previous studies have
 argued that changes in either diet or levels of sociality led to shifts in
 brain size, but results were equivocal. Here we test these hypotheses
 using phylogenetic comparative methods designed to jointly account for and
 estimate the effects of adaptation and phylogeny. Using the largest
 current sample of primate brain and body sizes with observation error,
 complemented by newly compiled diet and sociality data, we show that both
 diet and sociality have influenced the evolution of brain size. Shifting
 from simple to more complex levels of sociality resulted in relatively
 larger brains, while shifting to a more folivorous diet led to relatively
 smaller brains. While our results support the role of sociality, they
 modify a range of ecological hypotheses centered on the importance of
 frugivory and instead indicate that digestive costs associated with
 increased folivory may have resulted in relatively smaller brains.

 size was calculated following Grabowski et al. (2016). Supplementary text

title: Assessing the effectiveness of cuttlefish traps based on lure prevalence, survival and maturity status

description: Trap fishing is viewed as a low impact and fuel-efficient capture
 technique that is drawing increasing attention. However, due to their low
 capture efficiency fisheries sustainability may only be attained through
 improving profitability of these gears. The present study attempted to
 provide the necessary background for the establishment of a cuttlefish
 trap fishery in Thermaikos gulf (E. Mediterranean), a heavily fished area
 by gears of questionable sustainability such as the trammel nets. This
 task required the implementation of gear types and fishing operation
 techniques from other fishing areas. However, the use of empty traps or
 traps equipped with an artificial spawning substrate like branches of
 shrubs proved ineffective. Cuttlefish catches were only successful by
 baiting the cuttlefish trap with a female lure which entices males to
 enter the trap. We hereby propose that the method of choice is determined
 by the physical characteristics of the fishing-ground area. Other
 important factors including the shape and size of trap entrances and soak
 time are also investigated in an attempt to address crucial knowledge gaps
 and identify what the optimum fishing protocol and trap technical
 characteristics are for this potentially new métier for the Greek
 small-scale fisheries.

title: Data from: The value of the species interaction-abiotic stress hypothesis (SIASH) for invasion biology: using native latitude to explain non-native latitudinal range sizes

description: Establishment and spread of introduced species are difficult to predict
 because they are subject to a myriad of factors. A hypothesis which
 integrates multiple ecological processes, such as the species
 interaction-abiotic stress hypothesis (SIASH), may improve our ability to
 predict introduction success (i.e. establishment and spread). SIASH
 postulates that, along an environmental gradient, species’ range limits
 are set by abiotic stress at the environmentally harsh end of that
 gradient and by species interactions at the environmentally benign end of
 the gradient. Given that species richness increases nearer the equator and
 that climate becomes harsher (colder) nearer the poles, latitude
 represents a useful gradient with which to test simple predictions of
 SIASH. In order to test whether non-native ranges conform to the
 predictions of SIASH, we evaluated non-native latitudinal range size data
 for 195 cross-continental, naturalized introductions of 140 animal and
 plant species. Median latitude of native range was positively related to
 range size in the introduced zone, such that species native to high
 latitudes occupied larger introduced ranges than species native to low
 latitudes. Furthermore, temperate native species occupied larger
 latitudinal ranges when introduced to tropical and subtropical zones than
 did tropical native species introduced to temperate zones. Our results
 suggest that where a species originates is as important as where it is
 introduced for predicting introduction success. Abiotic stress from cold
 more strongly constrains the range extents of introduced species than
 species interactions, which is particularly pronounced for species
 originating from tropical regions. Future work should determine how
 species interactions and abiotic stress jointly explain other components
 of non-native species’ success across different spatial gradients to
 better integrate SIASH into invasion biology.

title: Influence of drought on interactions between Rhopalosiphum padi and ground dwelling predators - a mesocosm study

description: This dataset contains data from a greenhouse experiment described
 in the paper: Njue, M., Muturi, P., Nyaga, J. and Jonsson, M. 2021.
 Influence of drought on interactions between Rhopalosiphum padi and ground
 dwelling predators – a mesocosm study. Journal of Applied Entomology. The
 experiment investigates the effects of a factorial combination of two
 factors: simulated drought vs wet conditions, and ground-dwelling
 predators present or not on the development of aphids in experimental
 mesocosms 60 cm x 40 cm x 20 cm in size sown with barley. Dry conditions
 simulated a situation without rain for 21-28 days and wet conditions
 received rain every second day. Eighty aphids were introduced to each
 mesocosm 8 days after barley was sown. On the second day after aphid
 introduction we added two individuals each of the carabid beetles,
 Pterostichus melanarius and Harpalus rufipes and of the wolf spider
 Pardosa spp to each cage assigned to the predator treatments. Aphids were
 then counted on 16 randomly selected tillers at day 14, 18 and 21 after
 aphid introductions and their position on the tillers was noted. Main
 results were that aphids moved below ground during dry conditions,
 predators reduced aphid numbers, but only during dry conditions, and
 predators reduced the proportion of aphids below ground in dry conditions.
 This increased predation effect during dry conditions was, however,
 compensated for by a corresponding increase in aphid performance on the
 plants and so the net effect of drought on aphid numbers ended up being
 neutral.

title: Data for: An alternative hypothesis for the evolution of sexual segregation in endotherms

description: Aim: Patterns of separation among males and females, known as sexual
 segregation, traditionally correlate with elevation or latitude in
 animals. Alternatively, in humans, spatial and behavioural segregation are
 driven by inherent sex-based differences in thermal preference, although
 their cause and adaptive value of these differences remain unclear. Here,
 we explore whether, similar to humans, ambient temperature can explain
 patterns of separation among males and females in endotherms. 
 Location: Israel. Time period: 1981 – 2018. Major taxa studied: Migratory
 sexually dimorphic birds (13 species) and bats (18 species). Methods: We
 calculated the proportion of males and females at each sampling site for
 each bird or bat species. We used general linear mixed models (GLMM) to
 quantify the variance explained by elevation, latitude, body size and
 ambient temperature, and corrected for phylogeny, site and year. We
 employed model averaging over the best models by comparing corrected
 Akaike information criterion. Results: We found a correlation between
 geographic separation and temperature that accounts for variance in the
 data that is not explained by elevation and latitude. We show that
 temperature was negatively correlated with the proportion of males in bats
 and birds, whereas body size only explained this response in birds. Main
 conclusions: Our findings suggest that females are found in higher ambient
 temperatures. We term this Differential Sex-related Thermal Preference
 (DSTP) and propose that it is a broad phenomenon common in many
 endotherms, acting as a significant force shaping dispersal, sociality,
 and behaviour of animals and should be explored from this wide
 perspective.

title: Spatial clustering of trumpetfish shadowing behaviour in the Caribbean Sea revealed by citizen science

description: The West Atlantic trumpetfish (Aulostomus maculatus) performs an unusual
 hunting strategy, termed shadowing, whereby a trumpetfish swims closely
 behind or next to another ‘host’ species to facilitate the capture of
 prey. Despite trumpetfish being observed throughout the Caribbean,
 observations of this behaviour appear to be concentrated to a handful of
 localities. Here we assess the degree of geographical clustering of
 shadowing behaviour throughout the Caribbean Sea, and identify ecological
 features associated with the likelihood of its occurrence. To do this, we
 used a citizen science approach by creating and distributing an online
 survey to target frequent divers across this region. While the vast
 majority of participants observed trumpetfish on nearly every dive across
 the Caribbean, using random labelling spatial analyses, we found the
 frequency of shadowing behaviour was geographically clustered;
 participants that were within ~ 120 km of each other reported observations
 of shadowing that were more similar than would be expected by chance. Our
 survey also highlighted that trumpetfish were more likely to be observed
 shadowing than observed alone in a particular habitat type, and with
 particular host species, suggesting potential ecological factors that
 could drive the uneven distribution of this behaviour. Our results
 demonstrate that this behavioural hunting strategy is spatially clustered
 and, more generally, highlight the power of using citizen science to
 investigate variation in animal behaviour over thousands of square
 kilometres.

title: Landscape cover type, not social dominance, is associated with the winter movement patterns of snowy owls in temperate areas

description: Migrating animals occur along a continuum from species that spend the
 nonbreeding season at a fixed location to species that are nomadic during
 the nonbreeding season, essentially continuously moving. Such variation is
 likely driven by the economics of territoriality or heterogeneity in the
 environment. The Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus) is known for its complex
 seasonal movements, and thus an excellent model to test these ideas, as
 many individuals travel unpredictably along irregular routes during both
 the breeding and nonbreeding seasons. Two possible explanations for this
 large variation in the propensity to move are: (1) dominance hierarchies
 in which dominant individuals (adult females in this case) monopolize some
 key, consistent resources, and move less than subdominants and (2) habitat
 heterogeneity in which individuals foraging in rich and less heterogenic
 environments are less mobile. We analyzed fine-scale telemetry data
 (GPS/GSM) from 50 Snowy Owls tagged in eastern and central North America
 from 2013–2019, comparing space use during the winter period according to
 sex and age, and to land cover attributes. We used variograms to classify
 individuals as nomadic (58%) or range-resident (42%), and found that
 nomadic owls had ten times larger wintering areas than range-resident
 owls. The frequency of nomadism was similar in socially-dominant adult
 females, immatures and males. However, nomadism increased from west to
 east, and north to south, and was positively associated with use of water
 and negatively associated with croplands. We conclude that many individual
 Snowy Owls in Eastern North America are nomadic during the nonbreeding
 season and that movement patterns during this time are driven primarily by
 extrinsic factors, specifically heterogeneity in habitat and prey
 availability, as opposed to intrinsic factors associated with spacing
 behavior, such as age and sex.

 the ctmm package in R, are provided in our manuscript.

title: Temperature-mediated plasticity in incubation schedules is unlikely to evolve to buffer embryos from climatic challenges in a seasonal songbird

description: Phenotypic plasticity is hypothesised to facilitate adaptive responses to
 challenging conditions, such as those resulting from climate change.
 However, the key predictions of this ‘rescue hypothesis’, that variation
 in plasticity exists and can evolve to buffer unfavourable conditions,
 remain rare. Here, we investigate among-female variation in
 temperature-mediated plasticity of incubation schedules and consequences
 for egg temperatures using the chestnut-crowned babbler (Pomatostomus
 ruficeps) from temperate regions of inland south-eastern Australia. Given
 phenological advances in this seasonal breeder and thermal requirements of
 developing embryos (&gt; ~25  °C, optimally ~38 
 °C), support for evolutionary rescue - perhaps paradoxically - requires
 that plasticity serves to buffer embryos more from sub-optimally low
 temperatures. We found significant variation in the duration of incubation
 bouts (mean ± SD = 27 ± 22 min) and foraging bouts (mean ± SD = 17 ± 11
 min) in this maternal-only incubator. However, these patterns arose
 because of variation in the extent to which mothers increased on- and
 off-bout durations when temperatures (0-36 °C) were more favourable rather
 than unfavourable as required under rescue. In addition, there was a
 strong positive intercept-slope correlation in on-bout durations,
 indicating that those with stronger plastic responses incubated more at
 average temperatures (~19 °C). Combined, these effects reduced the
 functional significance of plastic responses: an individual's
 plasticity was neither associated with daily contributions to incubation
 (i.e. attentiveness) nor average egg temperatures. Our results highlight
 that despite significant among-individual variation in
 environmental-sensitivity, plasticity in parental care traits need not
 evolve to facilitate buffering against unfavourable conditions.
