title: Data from: Resource composition mediates the effects of intraspecific variability in nutrient recycling on ecosystem processes

description: Despite the growing evidence for individual variation in trophic niche
 within populations, its potential indirect effects on ecosystem processes
 remains poorly understood. In particular, few studies have investigated
 how intraspecific trophic variability can modulate the effects of
 consumers on ecosystems through potential changes in nutrient excretion
 rates. Here, we first quantified the level of intraspecific trophic
 variability in 11 wild populations of the omnivorous fish Lepomis
 gibbosus. Outputs from stomach content and stable isotope analyses
 revealed that the degree of trophic specialization and trophic positions
 were highly variable between and within these wild populations. There was
 intrapopulation variation in trophic position of more than one trophic
 level, suggesting that individuals consumed a range of plant and animal
 resources. We then experimentally manipulated intraspecific trophic
 variability to assess how it can modulate consumer-mediated nutrient
 effects on relevant processes of ecosystem functioning. Specifically,
 three food sources varying in nutrient quality (e.g. plant material,
 macro-invertebrate and fish meat) were used individually or in combination
 to simulate seven diet treatment. Results indicated that intraspecific
 variability in growth and nitrogen excretion rates were more related to
 the composition of the diet rather than the degree of specialization, and
 increased with the trophic position of the diet consumed. We subsequently
 used microcosms and showed that critical ecosystem functions, such as
 primary production and community respiration, were affected by the
 variability in excretory products, and this effect was biomass-dependent.
 These results highlight the importance of considering variation within
 species to better assess the effects of individuals on ecosystems and,
 more specifically, the effects of consumer-mediated nutrient recycling
 because the body size and the trophic ecology of individuals are affected
 by a large spectrum of natural and human-induced environmental changes.

title: Data from: Organisation enhances collective vigilance in the hovering guards of Tetragonisca angustula bees

description: One benefit of group living is vigilance against predators. Previous
 studies have investigated the group size effect, where individual
 vigilance decreases as group size increases without reducing the overall
 ability of the group to detect predators. However, there has been
 comparatively little research on whether the positioning of individuals
 can improve the collective vigilance of the group. We studied the
 coordination of vigilance and its effect on predator detection in the
 eusocial bee Tetragonisca angustula. Nests are defended by hovering guards
 that detect and intercept intruders before they reach the nest entrance,
 in addition to those that stand upon it. We show that hovering guards are
 positioned non-randomly, with a strong tendency for equal numbers on both
 sides of the entrance. This organisation increases the collective
 vigilance of the guard group, as groups distributed in an even ratio,
 either side of the entrance, have a greater collective field of view than
 groups that deviate from an even ratio. Last, we use a bioassay to show
 that when guards are on both sides of the entrance, their ability to
 detect intruders before they reach the entrance increases. Overall, our
 results provide strong evidence that vigilance is coordinated, and that
 this improves nest defence. Whereas other group-living animals are often
 selfish in their individual vigilance behaviours, and face competing time
 constraints such as foraging, the altruistic nature of eusocial insect
 workers has likely facilitated the evolution of coordinated vigilance, as
 documented here in T. angustula.

title: Data from: A mechanistic underpinning for sigmoid dose-dependent infection

description: Theoretical models of environmentally transmitted diseases often assume
 that transmission is a constant process, which scales linearly with
 pathogen dose. Here we question the applicability of such an assumption
 and propose a sigmoidal form for the pathogens infectivity response. In
 our formulation, this response arises under two assumptions: 1) multiple
 invasion events are required for a successful pathogen infection and 2)
 the host invasion state is reversible. The first assumption reduces
 pathogen infection rates at low pathogen doses, while the second
 assumption, due to host immune function, leads to a saturating infection
 rate at high doses. The derived pathogen dose:infection rate -relationship
 was tested against an experimental data on host mortality rates across
 different pathogen doses. Compared to two simpler alternatives, the
 sigmoidal function gave a better fit to patterns in host mortality rate
 (process), as well as host mortality (endpoint). Combining these
 alternative approaches made us more confident to conclude that the
 proposed model for disease transmission is theoretically sound, provides a
 good description of the data at hand, and is likely to be useful in
 developing more reliable models for infectious diseases.

title: Data from: Among-individual heterogeneity in maternal behaviour and physiology affects reproductive allocation and offspring life-history traits in the garter snake Thamnophis elegans

description: Accumulating evidence suggests that within-individual plasticity of
 behavioural and physiological traits is limited, resulting in stable
 among-individual differences in these aspects of the phenotype.
 Furthermore, these traits often covary within individuals, resulting in a
 continuum of correlated phenotypic variation among individuals within
 populations and species. This heterogeneity, in turn, affects individual
 fitness and can have cross-generational effects. Patterns of trait
 covariation, among-individual differences, and subsequent fitness
 consequences have long been recognized in reptiles. Here, we provide a
 test of patterns of among-individual heterogeneity in behaviour and
 physiology and subsequent effects on reproduction and offspring fitness in
 the garter snake Thamnophis elegans. We find that measures of activity
 levels vary among individuals and are consistent within individuals in
 reproductive female snakes, indicating stable behavioural phenotypes.
 Blood hormone and glucose concentrations are not as stable within
 individuals, indicating that these traits do not describe consistent
 physiological phenotypes. Nonetheless, the major axes of variation in
 maternal traits describe behavioural and physiological phenotypes that
 interact to predict offspring body condition and mass at birth. This
 differential allocation of energy to offspring, in turn, strongly
 influences subsequent offspring growth and survival. This pattern suggests
 the potential for strong selection on phenotypes defined by
 behaviour-physiology interactions.

title: Data from: Coevolution of cultural intelligence, extended life history, sociality, and brain size in primates

description: Explanations for primate brain expansion and the evolution of human
 cognition and culture remain contentious despite extensive research. While
 multiple comparative analyses have investigated variation in brain size
 across primate species, very few have addressed why primates vary in how
 much they use social learning. Here, we evaluate the hypothesis that the
 enhanced reliance on socially transmitted behavior observed in some
 primates has coevolved with enlarged brains, complex sociality, and
 extended lifespans. Using recently developed phylogenetic comparative
 methods we show that, across primate species, a measure of social learning
 proclivity increases with absolute and relative brain volume, longevity
 (specifically reproductive lifespan), and social group size, correcting
 for research effort. We also confirm relationships of absolute and
 relative brain volume with longevity (both juvenile period and
 reproductive lifespan) and social group size, although longevity is
 generally the stronger predictor. Relationships between social learning,
 brain volume, and longevity remain when controlling for maternal
 investment and are therefore not simply explained as a by-product of the
 generally slower life history expected for larger brained species. Our
 findings suggest that both brain expansion and high reliance on culturally
 transmitted behavior coevolved with sociality and extended lifespan in
 primates. This coevolution is consistent with the hypothesis that the
 evolution of large brains, sociality, and long lifespans has promoted
 reliance on culture, with reliance on culture in turn driving further
 increases in brain volume, cognitive abilities, and lifespans in some
 primate lineages.

title: Data from: Development and validation of an expert-based habitat suitability model to support boreal caribou conservation

description: The long-term persistence of boreal caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) is
 threatened by the negative impacts of human activities, including
 industrial development. The vast geographical distribution and behavioural
 variability of caribou warranted the development and validation of an
 appropriate conservation tool for managers in eastern Canada. We developed
 a habitat suitability model for boreal caribou in Québec by integrating
 expert knowledge into a hierarchical analysis. We elicited responses from
 14 experts on caribou ecology to determine the best spatiotemporal scales
 of application, the relative importance of habitat variables, the zone of
 influence of human infrastructure, and the parameterization of the model.
 Based on this input, we built the model using 8 habitat categories and 3
 human infrastructure variables. Experts identified mature
 conifer-dominated forests and open lichen woodlands as the most important
 vegetation categories for boreal caribou, whereas density of and proximity
 to paved roads, forest roads, and mines decreased habitat quality. We
 mapped the resulting model over the entire province of Québec (up to the
 northern forest allocation limit), and validated it using independent GPS
 telemetry datasets acquired in 3 distinct regions. Our model predicted
 that habitat suitability was highest in the northeastern part of our study
 area, where timber harvest activities and roads were virtually absent.
 Conversely, southern parts of Québec were generally unsuitable for boreal
 caribou. Our habitat suitability model is among the first tools for boreal
 caribou conservation available to wildlife and land managers in Québec.

title: Data from: Spatial structure and interspecific cooperation: theory and an empirical test using the mycorrhizal mutualism

description: Explaining mutualistic cooperation between species remains a major
 challenge for evolutionary biology. Why cooperate if defection potentially
 reaps greater benefits? It is commonly assumed that spatial structure
 (limited dispersal) aligns the interests of mutualistic partners. But does
 spatial structure consistently promote cooperation? Here, we formally
 model the role of spatial structure in maintaining mutualism. We show
 theoretically that spatial structure can actually disfavour cooperation by
 limiting the suite of potential partners. The effect of spatial
 structuring depends on the scale (fine or coarse level) at which hosts
 reward their partners. We then test our predictions by using novel
 molecular methods to track the abundance of competing, closely-related,
 cooperative and less-cooperative arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal
 symbionts on host roots over multiple generations. We find that when
 spatial structure is reduced, by mixing soil, the relative success of the
 more cooperative AM fungal species increases. This challenges previous
 suggestions that high spatial structuring is critical for stabilizing
 cooperation in the mycorrhizal mutualism. More generally our results show,
 both theoretically and empirically, that contrary to expectations spatial
 structuring can select against cooperation.

title: Data from: Associations among elementary school children's actual motor competence, perceived motor competence, physical activity and BMI: a cross-sectional study

description: Background: Positive associations between motor competence and physical
 activity have been identified by means of variable-centered analyses. To
 expand the understanding of these associations, this study used a
 person-centered approach to investigate whether different combinations
 (i.e., profiles) of actual and perceived motor competence exist (aim 1);
 and to examine differences in physical activity levels (aim 2) and weight
 status (aim 3) among children with different motor competence-based
 profiles. Methods: Children's (N=361; Boys=50%; Mage=9.50±1.24yrs)
 actual motor competence was measured with the Test of Gross Motor
 Development-2 and their perceived motor competence via the Self Perception
 Profile for Children. We assessed physical activity via accelerometers;
 height through stadiometers, and weight through scales. Cluster analyses
 (aim 1) and MANCOVAs (aim 2 & 3) were used to analyze the data.
 Results: The analysis generated two predictable groups: one group
 displaying relatively high levels of both actual (M TGMD percentile=42.54,
 SD=2.33) and perceived motor competence (M=3.42, SD=.37; high-high), and
 one group with relatively low levels of both (M percentile=9.71, SD=3.21;
 M PMC=2.52, SD=.35; low-low). One additional group was also identified as
 having relatively low levels of actual motor competence (M
 percentile=4.22, SD=2.85) but relatively high levels of perceived motor
 competence (M=3.52, SD=.30; low-high). The high-high group demonstrated
 higher daily physical activity (M=48.39±2.03) and lower BMI (M=18.13±.43)
 than the low-low group (MMVPA=37.93±2.01; MBMI=20.22±.42). The low-high
 group had similar physical activity-levels as the low-low group
 (M=36.21±2.18) and did not significantly differ in BMI (M=19.49±.46) from
 the other two groups. Conclusions: A combination of high actual and
 perceived motor competence is related to higher physical activity and
 lower weight status. It is thus recommended to expand health interventions
 in children with components that foster the development of both actual and
 perceived motor competence. Health professionals should furthermore pay
 sufficient attention to endorsing children's actual and perceived
 motor competence.

title: Data from: Sex-specific effects of natural and sexual selection on the evolution of life span and ageing in Drosophila simulans

description: 1. Variation in the strength of age-dependent natural selection shapes
 differences in ageing rates across species and populations. Likewise,
 sexual selection can promote divergent patterns of senescence across the
 sexes. However, the effects of these processes on the evolution of ageing
 have largely been considered independently, and interactions between them
 are poorly understood. 2. We use experimental evolution to investigate how
 natural and sexual selection affect life span and ageing in Drosophila
 simulans. 3. Replicate populations were evolved under lifetime monogamy
 (relaxed sexual selection) or lifetime polyandry (elevated sexual
 selection) and at one of two temperatures, 25 °C (relaxed natural
 selection) or 27 °C (enhanced natural selection), in a fully factorial
 design. We measured longevity in 150 individually housed flies taken from
 each of three replicate populations per selection regime. 4. We found that
 natural and sexual selection affected the evolution of life span via
 sex-specific effects on different ageing parameters (ageing rate vs.
 baseline mortality): natural selection reduced the rate of ageing in both
 sexes but increased male baseline mortality, while sexual selection
 elevated baseline mortality in both sexes but particularly in males. 5.
 This means that sexual and natural selection interacted to reduce male
 life span but acted on female life span by independently affecting
 particular ageing parameters. Sex-specific effects of sexual and natural
 selection may help explain the diverse patterns of ageing seen in nature
 but complicate predictions about how ageing and life span evolve across
 the sexes

title: Data from: Specificity of multi-modal aphid defenses against two rival parasitoids

description: Insects are often attacked by multiple natural enemies, imposing dynamic
 selective pressures for the development and maintenance of enemy-specific
 resistance. Pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum) have emerged as models for
 the study of variation in resistance against natural enemies, including
 parasitoid wasps. Internal defenses against their most common parasitoid
 wasp, Aphidius ervi, are sourced through two known mechanisms– 1)
 endogenously encoded resistance or 2) infection with the heritable
 bacterial symbiont, Hamiltonella defensa. Levels of resistance can range
 from nearly 0–100% against A. ervi but varies based on aphid genotype and
 the strain of toxin-encoding bacteriophage (called APSE) carried by
 Hamiltonella. Previously, other parasitoid wasps were found to commonly
 attack this host, but North American introductions of A. ervi have
 apparently displaced all other parasitoids except Praon pequodorum, a
 related aphidiine braconid wasp, which is still found attacking this host
 in natural populations. To explain P. pequodorum’s persistence, multiple
 studies have compared direct competition between both wasps, but have not
 examined specificity of host defenses as an indirectly mediating factor.
 Using an array of experimental aphid lines, we first examined whether
 aphid defenses varied in effectiveness toward either wasp species.
 Expectedly, both types of aphid defenses were effective against A. ervi,
 but unexpectedly, were completely ineffective against P. pequodorum.
 Further examination showed that P. pequodorum wasps suffered no consistent
 fitness costs from developing in even highly ‘resistant’ aphids.
 Comparison of both wasps’ egg-larval development revealed that P.
 pequodorum’s eggs have thicker chorions and hatch two days later than A.
 ervi’s, likely explaining their differing abilities to overcome aphid
 defenses. Overall, our results indicate that aphids resistant to A. ervi
 may serve as reservoirs for P. pequodorum, hence contributing to its
 persistence in field populations. We find that specificity of host
 defenses and defensive symbiont infections, may have important roles in
 influencing enemy compositions by indirectly mediating the interactions
 and abundance of rival natural enemies.
