title: Data from: Using probability modelling and genetic parentage assignment to test the role of local mate availability in mating system variation.

description: The formal testing of mating system theories with empirical data is
 important for evaluating the relative importance of different processes in
 shaping mating systems in wild populations. Here we present a generally
 applicable probability modelling framework to test the role of local mate
 availability in determining a population’s level of genetic monogamy. We
 provide a significance test for detecting departures in observed mating
 patterns from model expectations based on mate availability alone,
 allowing the presence and direction of behavioural effects to be inferred.
 The assessment of mate availability can be flexible and in this study it
 was based on population density, sex ratio and spatial arrangement. This
 approach provides a useful tool for (1) isolating the effect of mate
 availability in variable mating systems and (2) in combination with
 genetic parentage analyses, gaining insights into the nature of mating
 behaviours in elusive species. To illustrate this modelling approach, we
 have applied it to investigate the variable mating system of the mountain
 brushtail possum (Trichosurus cunninghami) and compared the model
 expectations with the outcomes of genetic parentage analysis over an 18
 year study. The observed level of monogamy was higher than predicted under
 the model. Thus, behavioural traits, such as mate guarding or selective
 mate choice, may increase the population level of monogamy. We show that
 combining genetic parentage data with probability modelling can facilitate
 an improved understanding of the complex interactions between behavioural
 adaptations and demographic dynamics in driving mating system variation.

title: Data from: Incest avoidance, extrapair paternity, and territory quality drive divorce in a year-round territorial bird.

description: Divorce can be an important behavioral strategy to improve fitness. This
 is particularly relevant for species that are territorial year-round with
 continuous partnerships, where individuals face constraints on partner
 choice due to limited vacancies and dispersal opportunities. We tested
 several hypotheses for divorce in such a species, the cooperatively
 breeding bird Malurus coronatus. Based on 9 years of detailed information
 on dispersal and survival of 317 breeding pairs, we tested whether divorce
 is driven by inbreeding avoidance, by a better partner or territory, or by
 social variables (number of subordinates and fidelity of partners). We
 found that divorce is important to escape incest: incestuous pairs were
 substantially more likely to divorce (64%) than non-incestuous pairs
 (14%). However, incestuous pair bonds lasted up to a year, highlighting
 constraints on breeder dispersal. Non-incestuous pairs also divorced, but
 here the only predictor for divorce was the presence of extrapair
 offspring in a previous brood. Although reproductive failure did not
 trigger divorce, and reproductive success did not improve in the year
 following divorce, females that dispersed after divorce obtained higher
 quality territories, unlike females that dispersed after their partner
 died. Thus, divorce may be a strategy to improve long-term benefits
 associated with better territories. Some divorces appeared to be forced
 evictions by older females, although direct evidence for this is limited.
 Taken together, our findings demonstrate the complexity of factors that
 affect the occurrence of divorce when partner choice is constrained.

title: Data from: Developmental instability is genetically correlated with phenotypic plasticity, constraining heritability, and fitness

description: Although adaptive plasticity would seem always to be favored by selection,
 it occurs less often than expected. This lack of ubiquity suggests that
 there must be trade-offs, costs, or limitations associated with
 plasticity. Yet, few costs have been found. We explore one type of
 limitation, a correlation between plasticity and developmental
 instability, and use quantitative genetic theory to show why one should
 expect a genetic correlation. We test that hypothesis using the Landsberg
 erecta × Cape Verde Islands recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of Arabidopsis
 thaliana. RILs were grown at four different nitrogen (N) supply levels
 that span the range of N availabilities previously documented in North
 American field populations. We found a significant multivariate
 relationship between the cross-environment trait plasticity and the
 within-environment, within-RIL developmental instability across 13 traits.
 This genetic covariation between plasticity and developmental instability
 has two costs. First, theory predicts diminished fitness for highly
 plastic lines under stabilizing selection, because their developmental
 instability and variance around the optimum phenotype will be greater
 compared to nonplastic genotypes. Second, empirically the most plastic
 traits exhibited heritabilities reduced by 57% on average compared to
 nonplastic traits. This demonstration of potential costs in inclusive
 fitness and heritability provoke a rethinking of the evolutionary role of
 plasticity.

title: Data from: Spatial heterogeneity in landscape structure influences dispersal and genetic structure: empirical evidence from a grasshopper in an agricultural landscape

description: Dispersal may be strongly influenced by landscape and habitat
 characteristics that could either enhance or restrict movements of
 organisms. Therefore, spatial heterogeneity in landscape structure could
 influence gene flow and the spatial structure of populations. In the past
 decades, agricultural intensification has led to the reduction in
 grassland surfaces, their fragmentation and intensification. As these
 changes are not homogeneously distributed in landscapes, they have
 resulted in spatial heterogeneity with generally less intensified hedged
 farmland areas remaining alongside streams and rivers. In this study, we
 assessed spatial pattern of abundance and population genetic structure of
 a flightless grasshopper species, Pezotettix giornae, based on the surveys
 of 363 grasslands in a 430-km² agricultural landscape of western France.
 Data were analysed using geostatistics and landscape genetics based on
 microsatellites markers and computer simulations. Results suggested that
 small-scale intense dispersal allows this species to survive in intensive
 agricultural landscapes. A complex spatial genetic structure related to
 landscape and habitat characteristics was also detected. Two P. giornae
 genetic clusters bisected by a linear hedged farmland were inferred from
 clustering analyses. This linear hedged farmland was characterized by high
 hedgerow and grassland density as well as higher grassland temporal
 stability that were suspected to slow down dispersal. Computer simulations
 demonstrated that a linear-shaped landscape feature limiting dispersal
 could be detected as a barrier to gene flow and generate the observed
 genetic pattern. This study illustrates the relevance of using computer
 simulations to test hypotheses in landscape genetics studies.

title: Data from: Leopard in a tea-cup: a study of leopard habitat-use and human-leopard interactions in north-eastern India

description: There is increasing evidence of the importance of multi-use landscapes for
 the conservation of large carnivores. However, when carnivore ranges
 overlap with high density of humans, there are often serious conservation
 challenges. This is especially true in countries like India where loss of
 peoples’ lives and property to large wildlife are not uncommon. The
 leopard (Panthera pardus) is a large felid that is widespread in India,
 often sharing landscapes with high human densities. In order to understand
 the ecology of leopards in a human use landscape and the nature of
 human-leopard interactions, we studied (i) the spatial and temporal
 distribution and the characteristics of leopard attacks on people, (ii)
 the spatial variability in the pattern of habitat use by the leopard, and
 (iii) the spatial relationship between attack locations and habitat use by
 leopards. The study site, located in northern West Bengal, India, is a
 densely populated mixed-use landscape of 630 km2, comprising of forests,
 tea plantations, agriculture fields, and human settlements. A total of 171
 leopard attacks on humans were reported between January 2009 and March
 2016, most of which occurred within the tea-gardens. None of the attacks
 was fatal. We found significant spatial clustering of locations of leopard
 attacks on humans. However, most of the attacks were restricted to certain
 tea estates and occurred mostly between January and May. Analysis of
 habitat use by leopards showed that the probability of use of areas with
 more ground vegetation cover was high while that of areas with high
 density of buildings was low. However, locations of leopard attacks on
 people did not coincide with areas that showed a higher probability of use
 by leopards. This indicates that an increased use of an area by leopards,
 by itself, does not necessarily imply an increase in attacks on people.
 The spatial and temporal clustering of attack locations allowed us to use
 this information to prioritize areas to focus mitigation activities in
 order reduce negative encounters between people and leopards in this
 landscape which has had a long history of conflict.

title: Data from: Population differentiation of zander (Sander lucioperca, Linnaeus, 1758) across native and newly colonized ranges suggests increasing admixture in the course of an invasion

description: In addition to ecological factors, evolutionary processes can determine
 the invasion success of a species. In particular, genetic admixture has
 the potential to induce rapid evolutionary change, which can result from
 natural or human-assisted secondary contact between differentiated
 populations. We studied the recent range expansion of zander in Germany
 focusing on the interplay between invasion and genetic admixture.
 Historically, the rivers Elbe and Danube harboured the most north-western
 source populations from which a north-westward range expansion occurred.
 This was initiated by introducing zander outside its native range into
 rivers and lakes, and was fostered by migration through artificial canals
 and stocking from various sources. We analysed zander populations of the
 native and invaded ranges using nuclear and mitochondrial genetic markers.
 Three genetic lineages were identified, which were traced to ancestral
 ranges. Increased genetic diversity and admixture in the invaded region
 highlighted asymmetric gene flow towards this area. We suppose that the
 adaptive potential of the invading populations was promoted by genetic
 admixture, whereas competitive exclusion in the native areas provided a
 buffer against introgression by novel genotypes. These explanations would
 be in line with evidence that hybridization can drive evolutionary change
 under conditions when new niches can be exploited.

title: Data from: Population genetic structure of the tree-hole tick Ixodes arboricola (Acari: Ixodidae) at different spatial scales

description: The endophilic tick Ixodes arboricola infests cavity-nesting birds, and
 its dispersal strongly depends on the movements of its host. Population
 genetic structure of I. arboricola was studied with seven polymorphic
 microsatellite markers. We collected 268 ticks from 76 nest boxes in four
 woodlots near Antwerp, Belgium. These nest boxes are mainly used by the
 principal hosts of I. arboricola, the great tit Parus major and the blue
 tit Cyanistes caeruleus. As these birds typically return to the same
 cavity for roosting or breeding, ticks within nest boxes were expected to
 be highly related, and tick populations were expected to be spatially
 structured among woodlots and among nest boxes within woodlots. In line
 with the expectations, genetic population structure was found among
 woodlots and among nest boxes within woodlots. Surprisingly, there was
 considerable genetic variation among ticks within nest boxes. This could
 be explained by continuous gene flow from ticks from nearby tree holes,
 yet this remains to be tested. A pairwise relatedness analysis conducted
 for all pairs of ticks within nest boxes showed that relatedness among
 larvae was much higher than among later instars, which suggests that
 larvae are the most important instar for tick dispersal. Overall, tick
 populations at the studied spatial scale are not as differentiated as
 predicted, which may influence the scale at which host–parasite evolution
 occurs.

title: Data from: Replicated evolutionary divergence in the cuticular hydrocarbon profile of male crickets associated with the loss of song in the Hawaiian archipelago

description: Female choice based on male secondary sexual traits is well documented,
 although the extent to which this selection can drive an evolutionary
 divergence in male traits among populations is less clear. Male field
 crickets Teleogryllus oceanicus attract females using a calling song and
 once contacted switch to courtship song to persuade them to mate. These
 crickets also secrete onto their cuticle a cocktail of long-chained fatty
 acids or cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs). Females choose among potential
 mates based on the structure of male acoustic signals and on the
 composition of male CHC profiles. Here, we utilize two naturally occurring
 mutations that have arisen independently on two Hawaiian islands and
 render the male silent to ask whether the evolutionary loss of acoustic
 signalling can drive an evolutionary divergence in the alternative
 signalling modality, male CHC profiles. QST-FST comparisons revealed
 strong patterns of CHC divergence among three populations of crickets on
 the islands of Hawaii, Oahu and Kauai. Contrasts between wild-type and
 flatwing males on the islands of Oahu and Kauai indicated that variation
 in male CHC profiles within populations is associated with the loss of
 acoustic signalling; flatwing males had a relatively low abundance of
 long-chained CHCs relative to the short-chained CHCs that females find
 attractive. Given their dual functions in desiccation resistance and
 sexual signalling, insect CHCs may be particularly important traits for
 reproductive isolation and ultimately speciation.

title: Data from: Elevated genetic diversity of mitochondrial genes in asexual populations of bark lice ("Psocoptera": Echmepteryx hageni)

description: Asexual reproduction is commonly thought to be associated with low genetic
 diversity in animals. Echmepteryx hageni (Insecta: “Psocoptera”) is one of
 several psocopteran species that are primarily parthenogenetic, but also
 exists in small, isolated sexual populations. We used mitochondrial DNA
 sequences to investigate the population history and genealogical
 relationships between the sexual and asexual forms of this species. The
 asexual population of E. hageni exhibits extremely high mitochondrial
 haplotype diversity (H = 0.98), whereas the sexual forms had significantly
 lower haplotypic diversity (H = 0.25, after correcting for sample size).
 This diversity in asexuals represents one the greatest genetic diversities
 reported for asexual animals in the literature. Nucleotide diversities
 were also higher in asexual compared to sexual populations (π = 0.0071 vs.
 0.00027). Compared to other reported estimates of π in insects, asexual
 nucleotide diversity is high, but not remarkably elevated. Three
 hypotheses might explain the elevated genetic diversity of asexual
 populations: 1) larger effective population size, 2) greater mutation
 rate, or 3) possible recent origin of sexuals. In addition,
 phylogeographic analysis revealed little geographic structure among
 asexual E. hageni, although specimens from the upper Midwest form a single
 clade and are genetically differentiated. The mismatch distribution and
 neutrality tests indicate a historical population size increase, possibly
 associated with expansion from glacial refugia.

title: Data from: Spatial-temporal dynamics of Neotropical velvet ant (Hymenoptera: Mutillidae) communities along a forest-savanna gradient

description: Understanding how and why biological communities are organized over space
 and time is a major challenge and can aid biodiversity conservation in
 times of global changes. Herein, spatial-temporal variation in the
 structure of velvet ant communities was examined along a forest-savanna
 gradient in the Brazilian Cerrado to assess the roles of environmental
 filters and interspecific interactions upon community assembly. Velvet
 ants were sampled using 25 arrays of Y-shaped pitfall traps with drift
 fences for one year along an environmental gradient from cerrado sensu
 stricto (open canopy, warmer, drier) to cerradão (closed canopy, cooler,
 moister). Dataloggers installed on each trap recorded microclimate
 parameters throughout the study period. The effects of spatial distances,
 microclimate parameters and shared ancestry on species abundances and
 turnover were assessed with canonical correspondence analysis, generalized
 dissimilarity modelling and variance components analysis. Velvet ant
 diversity and abundance were higher in the cerrado sensu stricto and early
 in the wet season. There was pronounced compositional turnover along the
 environmental gradient, and temporal variation in richness and abundance
 was stronger than spatial variation. The dry season blooming of woody
 plant species fosters host abundance and, subsequently, velvet ant
 captures. Species were taxonomically clustered along the gradient with
 Sphaeropthalmina (especially Traumatomutilla spp.) and Pseudomethocina
 more associated, respectively, with cerrado sensu stricto and cerradão.
 This suggests a predominant role of environmental filters on community
 assemble, with physiological tolerances and host preferences being shared
 among members of the same lineages. Induced environmental changes in
 Cerrado can impact communities of wasps and their hosts with unpredictable
 consequences upon ecosystem functioning and services.
