title: Data from: Multiple signaling in a variable environment: expression of song and color traits as a function of ambient sound and light

description: Many animals communicate using more than one signal, and several
 hypotheses exist to explain the evolution of multiple signals. However,
 these hypotheses typically assume static selection pressures and previous
 work has not addressed how spatial and temporal environmental variation
 can shape variation in signaling systems. In particular, environmental
 variability, such as ambient lighting or noise, may affect efficacy (e.g.
 detectability/perception by receivers) of signals. To examine how signal
 expression varies intraspecifically as a function of habitat
 characteristics, we evaluated relationships between spatial environmental
 variation and song and plumage color expression in a tropical songbird,
 the red-throated ant-tanager (Habia fuscicauda) in Panama. We recorded
 male ant-tanager song, plucked feathers to measure coloration, and
 recorded the acoustic and light environments from each male’s territory.
 In addition, we took several morphometric measurements from each male to
 assess the potential information content of song and plumage color. We
 found that males with redder and more saturated crowns occurred on darker
 territories, and males that sang shorter and lower frequency songs
 occurred on noisier territories. We also found that more colorful males
 tended to sing longer and lower frequency songs. Finally we found that
 song and color correlated similarly with male morphology (e.g. tarsus
 length, body mass). Altogether these results indicate that spatial
 variation in the environment is related to male coloration and song, and
 that males might be optimizing color and song expression for their
 particular territorial environment.

title: Data from: Prediction error induced motor contagions in human behaviors

description: Motor contagions refer to implicit effects on one's actions induced
 by observed actions. Motor contagions are believed to be induced simply by
 action observation and cause an observer's action to become similar
 to the action observed. In contrast, here we report a new motor contagion
 that is induced only when the observation is accompanied by prediction
 errors - differences between actions one observes and those he/she
 predicts or expects. In two experiments, one on whole-body baseball
 pitching and another on simple arm reaching, we show that the observation
 of the same action induces distinct motor contagions, depending on whether
 prediction errors are present or not. In the absence of prediction errors,
 as in previous reports, participants' actions changed to become
 similar to the observed action, while in the presence of prediction
 errors, their actions changed to diverge away from it, suggesting distinct
 effects of action observation and action prediction on human actions.

title: Data from: Population genetic structure of the Pocillopora damicornis morphospecies along Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia

description: The effective management of a coral reef system relies on a detailed
 understanding of the population structure of dominant habitat-forming
 species. For some corals, however, high levels of phenotypic plasticity
 have made species delineation based on morphological characteristics alone
 unreliable, suggesting that previous studies of population genetic
 structure may have been influenced by the inclusion of multiple genetic
 lineages in the analyses. We examined the population structure of the
 Pocillopora damicornis morphospecies along the World Heritage Ningaloo
 Coast, Western Australia, and recovered 2 mitochondrial haplotypes from
 sympatrically occurring colonies possessing morphological characteristics
 consistent with taxonomic classification of P. damicornis. Despite a high
 degree of genetic differentiation between these lineages, we detected low
 levels of unidirectional admixture between them, suggesting that
 reproductive barriers are not fully developed. We found dual modes of
 reproduction for both lineages with considerable variation in the
 contribution of sexual reproduction among sample sites. Lastly, we
 identified a high dispersal potential of sexually produced propagules in
 the most common lineage with positive spatial autocorrelation detected
 over distances up to 60 km. Based on these results, it appears that
 populations of P. damicornis have a high capacity to recover from
 environmental perturbations as long as the effects of disturbances are
 patchy across Ningaloo Reef.

title: Data from: Walk the line: 600,000 years of molar evolution constrained by allometry in the fossil rodent Mimomys savini

description: The allometric-constraint hypothesis states that evolutionary divergence
 of morphological traits is restricted by integrated growth regulation. In
 this study, we test this hypothesis on a time-calibrated and
 well-documented palaeontological sequence of dental measurements on the
 Pleistocene arvicoline rodent species Mimomys savini from the Iberian
 Peninsula. Based on 507 specimens representing nine populations regularly
 spaced over 600 000 years, we compare static (within-population) and
 evolutionary (among-population) allometric slopes between the width and
 the length of the first lower molar. We find that the static allometric
 slope remains evolutionary stable and predicts the evolutionary allometry
 quite well. These results support the hypothesis that the
 macroevolutionary divergence of molar traits is constrained by static
 allometric relationships.

title: Data from: Medial pith cells per meter in twigs as a proxy for mitotic growth rate (Phi/m) in the apical meristem

description: The Φ model for plant mating system evolution proposes a causal link
 between Φ, the number of mitoses that occur within a plant’s lifetime from
 zygote to gamete production, and constraints on the evolution of
 inbreeding depression and thereby on the evolution of plant mating
 systems. Through its use of plant stature, the Φ model emphasizes the
 important role of morphology in creating developmental and genetic
 constraints on plant evolution. However, the estimation of Φ itself is
 likely to be extraordinarily complex. Here I describe a protocol for
 estimating Φ per meter linear growth by an apical meristem (Φ/m) using
 medial pith cells from mature internodes of twigs. While such cells are
 produced by the apical meristem, during internode elongation these pith
 cells also undergo further mitoses and thus their measurement can only
 approximate a ‘true’ Φ/m via the application of a multiplier (the
 adjustment ratio) that partially corrects for the occurrence of cell
 divisions and cell growth beyond the apical meristem. I apply this method
 to Delonix regia (Caesalpiniaceae) and derive several adjustment ratios
 from the literature. As variation in Φ/m can have profound evolutionary
 implications, I also examine interspecific and intraspecific variation as
 well as within-individual variation in Φ/m. Conifers apparently have lower
 Φ/m than angiosperms, while 20% of the total variance in Φ/m for D. regia
 was found among individual trees, with the remainder found within trees.
 Given the large differences in stature between ‘high-Φ’ plants such as
 trees and ‘low-Φ’ plants such as herbs, these results support the idea
 that the total per-generation mutation rate for high-Φ plants is likely to
 be many times higher than that for low-Φ plants.

title: Data from: Lifespan and reproductive cost explain interspecific variation in the optimal onset of reproduction

description: Fitness can be profoundly influenced by the age at first reproduction
 (AFR), but to date the AFR-fitness relationship only has been investigated
 intraspecifically. Here we investigated the relationship between AFR and
 average lifetime reproductive success (LRS) across 34 bird species. We
 assessed differences in the deviation of the Optimal AFR (i.e., the
 species-specific AFR associated with the highest LRS) from the age at
 sexual maturity, considering potential effects of life-history as well as
 social and ecological factors. Most individuals adopted the
 species-specific Optimal AFR and both the mean and Optimal AFR of species
 correlated positively with lifespan. Interspecific deviations of the
 Optimal AFR were associated with indices reflecting a change in LRS or
 survival as a function of AFR: a delayed AFR was beneficial in species
 where early AFR was associated with a decrease in subsequent survival or
 reproductive output. Overall, our results suggest that a delayed onset of
 reproduction beyond maturity is an optimal strategy explained by a long
 lifespan and costs of early reproduction. By providing the first empirical
 confirmations of key predictions of life-history theory across species,
 this study contributes to a better understanding of life-history
 evolution.

title: Data from: Repeated habitat disturbances by fire decrease local effective population size

description: Effective population size is a fundamental parameter in population
 genetics, and factors that alter effective population size will shape the
 genetic characteristics of populations. Habitat disturbance may have a
 large effect on genetic characteristics of populations by influencing
 immigration and gene flow, particularly in fragmented habitats. We used
 the Florida Sand Skink (Plestiodon reynoldsi) to investigate the effect of
 fire-based habitat disturbances on the effective population size in the
 highly threatened, severely fragmented, and fire dependent Florida scrub
 habitat. We screened seven microsatellite loci in 604 individuals
 collected from 12 locations at Archbold Biological Station. Archbold
 Biological Station has an active fire management plan and detailed records
 of fires dating to 1967. Our objective was to determine how the timing,
 number, and intervals between fires affect effective population size,
 focusing on multiple fires in the same location. Effective population size
 was higher in areas that had not been burned for more than ten years and
 decreased with number of fires and shorter time between fires. A similar
 pattern was observed in abundance: increasing abundance with
 time-since-fire and decreasing abundance with number of fires. The ratio
 of effective population size to census size was higher at sites with more
 recent fires and tended to decrease with time-since-last-fire. These
 results suggest that habitat disturbances, such as fire, may have a large
 effect in the genetic characteristics of local populations and that
 Florida Sand Skinks are well adapted to the natural fire dynamics required
 to maintain Florida scrub.

title: Data from: Assembling a species–area curve through colonization, speciation and human-mediated introduction

description: Aim: The fundamental biogeographical processes of colonization, speciation
 and extinction shape island biotas in space–time. On oceanic islands, area
 and isolation affect these processes and resulting biodiversity patterns.
 In the Anthropocene, a new human-mediated colonization dynamic is altering
 insular ecosystems world-wide. Here, we test predictions about the roles
 of archipelago area and isolation in structuring ant diversity patterns
 through effects on both natural and anthropogenic biogeographical
 processes. Location: Tropical Pacific islands. Methods: We compiled a
 comprehensive data set of ant faunal compositions across tropical Pacific
 archipelagos. Using regression analysis we evaluated the bivariate and
 interactive effects of area and isolation on the number of colonizing
 lineages, native species, endemic species, exotic species and total
 richness in the archipelago. Results: There is a strong species–area
 effect and a much more modest isolation effect on total ant species
 richness across the Pacific archipelagos. The number of colonizing
 lineages of each archipelago is strongly driven by the isolation of the
 archipelago. Endemic species are present in large archipelagos of low and
 intermediate isolation. The most remote archipelagos are nearly devoid of
 endemic lineages and their ant faunas are largely composed of Pacific
 Tramp species and exotics brought from outside the Pacific region. Main
 conclusions: The prominent species–area curve in Pacific ants emerged over
 time through multiple processes. The colonization of lineages is
 determined primarily by isolation, with few or no lineages reaching remote
 archipelagos. Cladogenesis mediates the isolation effect and increases the
 area effect through the differential radiation of lineages in large
 archipelagos. In the Anthropocene, the assembly of the species–area
 relationship has accelerated dramatically through human-mediated
 colonization. Overall, our results support a view that species–area curves
 reflect regulating limits on species richness that scale with area, but
 that multiple biogeographical processes can occur to achieve these limits.

title: Data from: Climate warming and the potential extinction of fig wasps, the obligate pollinators of figs

description: Figs (Ficus) have a reciprocally obligate mutualism with tiny, short-lived
 (1–2 days) fig wasps (Agaonidae). The small size and short life of these
 pollinators is expected to make them more vulnerable to climate change
 than their larger and longer-lived hosts. We experimentally tested the
 thermal tolerances of four species of adult female fig wasps from
 equatorial Singapore. The results suggest that an increase of ≥ 3oC above
 the current temperatures experienced across much of the equatorial tropics
 would markedly decrease the active adult lifespan of all four species. Fig
 plants are the center of an intricate web of specialist and generalist
 animals. Unless fig wasps can acclimate or adapt to warmer temperatures in
 time, these responses may disrupt the mutualism, potentially affecting
 multiple trophic levels.

title: Data from: Predation drives stable coexistence ratios between red and green pea aphid morphs

description: We conducted field surveys and experiments to evaluate the hypothesis that
 predation is an important driving factor determining the degree of
 coexistence between red and green morphs of the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon
 pisum. Theory suggests that the different colour morphs are differentially
 susceptible to natural enemies and selection by predation which in turn
 leads to variable relative abundances of red and green morphs among host
 plants across landscapes. Our field surveys on pea and alfalfa revealed,
 however, that the colour morphs tended to coexist closely in a ratio of
 one red to three green aphids across fields with different host plant
 monocultures. Experimentation involving manipulation of the relative
 abundances of the two colour morphs on host plants pea and alfalfa with
 and without predator presence revealed that red morphs had higher or same
 fitness (per capita reproduction) than green morphs on both pea and
 alfalfa only when in the proportion of one red/three green proportion.
 Moreover, experimentation evaluating predator efficiency revealed that red
 morphs are safest from predation when in a 1 : 3 ratio with green morphs.
 These results suggest that in addition to predation selection effects, red
 morphs may behaviourally choose to associate with green morphs in a narrow
 1 : 3 ratio to maximize their fitness. This evidence, along with existing
 published data on red and green morph anti-predator behaviour indicates
 that a 1 : 3 red and green morph coexistence ratio is driven by a balance
 between predation pressure and behavioural assorting by red morphs across
 landscapes. In this way predators may have ecological-evolutionary
 consequences for traits that affect the colour morphs' proportion and
 tolerances to selective pressure.

title: Data from: Buried alive: the behavioural response of the mussels, Modiolus modiolus and Mytilus edulis to sudden burial by sediment

description: Sedimentation in the sea occurs through natural processes, such as wave
 and tidal action, which can be exacerbated during storms and floods.
 Changes in terrestrial land use, marine aggregate extraction, dredging,
 drilling and mining are known to result in substantial sediment
 deposition. Research suggests that deposition will also occur due to the
 modern development of marine renewable energy. The response to individual
 burial under three depths of sediment, three sediment fractions and five
 burial durations was investigated in two mussel species, Modiolus modiolus
 and Mytilus edulis in specialist mesocosms. Both mussel species showed
 substantial mortality, which increased with duration of burial and burial
 by finer sediment fractions. M. modiolus was better able to survive short
 periods of burial than M. edulis, but at longer durations mortality was
 more pronounced. No mortality was observed in M. modiolus in burial
 durations of eight days or less but by 16 days of burial, over 50%
 cumulative mortality occurred. Under variable temperature regimes, M.
 edulis mortality increased from 20% at 8°C to over 60% at 14.5 and 20°C.
 Only M. edulis was able to emerge from burial, facilitated by increased
 byssus production, laid mostly on vertical surfaces but also on sediment
 particles. Emergence was higher from coarse sediment and shallow burials.
 Byssus production in M. edulis was not related to the condition index of
 the mussels. Results suggest that even marginal burial would result in
 mortality and be more pronounced in warm summer periods. Our results
 suggest that in the event of burial, adult M. modiolus would not be able
 to emerge from burial unless local hydrodynamics assist, whereas a small
 proportion of M. edulis may regain contact with the sediment water
 interface. The physiological stress resulting in mortality, contribution
 of local hydrodynamics to survival and other ecological pressures such as
 mussels existing in aggregations, are discussed.
