title: Learning to feed in the dark: how light levels influences feeding in the hawkmoth Manduca sexta

description: Nocturnal insects like moths are essential for pollination, providing
 resilience to the diurnal pollination networks. Moths use both vision and
 mechanosensation to locate the nectary opening in the flowers with their
 proboscis. However, increased light levels due to artificial light at
 night (ALAN) pose a serious threat to nocturnal insects. Here we examined
 how light levels influence the efficacy by which the crepuscular hawkmoth
 Manduca sexta locates the nectary. We used 3D printed artificial flowers
 fitted with motion sensors in the nectary and machine vision to track the
 motion of hovering moths under two light levels: 0.1 lux (moonlight) and
 50 lux (dawn/dusk). We found that moths in higher light conditions took
 significantly longer to find the nectary, even with repeated visits to the
 same flower. In addition to taking longer, moths in higher light
 conditions hovered further from the flower during feeding. Increased light
 levels adversely affect learning and motor control in these animals.

title: Activity synchronization and fission decisions

description: Group-living animals need to reach a consensus to maintain cohesion. When
 the costs of consensus outweigh the benefits, the group may (temporarily)
 split into two or more subgroups. Consensus can concern the activity to
 pursue or the direction of travel. Temporary group separation is a common
 feature in species with a high degree of fission-fusion dynamics. We
 investigated the role activity synchronization played in fission decisions
 in a spider monkey group living in the Otoch Ma’ax Yetel Kooh Nature
 Reserve, Yucatan, Mexico. For 21 months, we recorded every fission event
 occurring in the followed subgroup, as well as the subgroup activity. We
 classified the activity as “synchronized” when at least the 75% of
 subgroup members performed the same activity (resting, foraging,
 socializing or traveling); otherwise, we classified it as
 “non-synchronized”. We found that fission events occurred more often when
 the activity was non-synchronized. In addition, when the activity was
 synchronized, fission events occurred more often when spider monkeys were
 traveling than when they engaged in other subgroup activities. Our
 findings highlight the role of consensus over the activity to pursue and
 the direction where to travel on fission decisions.

title: LT-Brazil: A database of leaf traits across biomes and vegetation types in Brazil

description: Motivation: Leaf traits represent an important component of plant
 functional strategies, and those related to
 carbon fixation and nutrient acquisition form the leaf economics
 spectrum. However, observations of functional leaf traits are
 underrepresented in tropical regions in comparison with those in temperate
 areas. Brazil, a country with continental scale and vast biodiversity is a
 timely example, where many biomes are impacted by human activities and
 climate change. However, leaf traits relevant to understand vegetation
 responses to these impacts remain poorly quantified for many species found
 in the country. We compiled an extensive data set of four
 functional leaf traits for native woody species occurring in the Brazilian
 territory. In addition to trait observations, sampling dates and
 geo-references were compiled and climatic parameters and soil properties
 of each sampling site were extracted from several databases. Main types of
 variables contained: The LT-Brazil data set contains 3479, 1216,
 775, and 775 clean observations of leaf mass per area, leaf nitrogen (N)
 concentration per unit mass, leaf phosphorus (P) concentration per unit
 mass, and leaf N : P ratio, respectively, from native woody
 species, encompassing information of biome, vegetation, taxonomic
 data, geographical coordinates, climatic parameters, as well as soil
 properties. Spatial location and grain: We compiled trait observations
 from 223 sites under native vegetation distributed in all main
 biomes (i.e., Amazônia, Caatinga, Cerrado, Mata Atlântica, Pampa, and
 Pantanal) across the Brazilian territory. Time period and grain: The data
 represent information published and/or sampled during the last 25 years.
 Major taxa and level of measurement: Our compilation was focused on trait
 data observed for native woody species, excluding monocots, palm trees,
 herbs, and hemiparasitic plants. Thus, 108, 478, and
 1321 botanical families, genera, and species were included,
 covering c. 9% of the woody angiosperm flora of Brazil. Software format:
 Data are provided as comma-separated value (.csv) files.

title: Data and codes to replicate the analysis in: The spatial ecology of conflicts: Unravelling patterns of wildlife damage at multiple scales

description: Human encroachment into natural habitats is typically followed by
 conflicts derived from wildlife damages to agriculture and livestock.
 Spatial risk modelling is a useful tool to gain understanding of wildlife
 damage and mitigate conflicts. Although resource selection is a
 hierarchical process operating at multiple scales, risk models usually
 fail to address more than one scale, which can result in the
 misidentification of the underlying processes. Here, we addressed the
 multi-scale nature of wildlife damage occurrence by considering ecological
 and management correlates interacting from household to landscape scales.
 We studied brown bear (Ursus arctos) damage to apiaries in the
 North-eastern Carpathians as our model system. Using generalized additive
 models, we found that brown bear tendency to avoid humans and the habitat
 preferences of bears and beekeepers determine the risk of bear damage at
 multiple scales. Damage risk at fine scales increased when the broad
 landscape context also favoured damages. Furthermore, integrated-scale
 risk maps resulted in more accurate predictions than single-scale models.
 Our results suggest that principles of resource selection by animals can
 be used to understand the occurrence of damages and help mitigate
 conflicts in a proactive and preventive manner.
description: These datasets include processed data to run the analyses needed
 to (1) estimate the risk of bear damage to apiaries in the Eastern Polish
 Carpathians at different spatial scales; (2) calculate scale-integrated
 risk maps; (3) assess the relationship of the predicted probabilities of
 damage between scales. The raw data was compiled from the official
 databases of the organization responsible for damage compensation in the
 study area and from different online sources. Along with the data we
 provide METADATA files with the information about each variable present in
 each dataset. We also provided the analysis code (R script) used to
 generate statistics and some of the figures. For references and details
 about data processing, and analysis we refer to the original publication
 and its Electronic Supplementary Materials.

title: Data from: Genomic data and multi-species demographic modelling uncover past hybridization between currently allopatric freshwater species

description: Evidence for ancient interspecific gene flow through hybridization has
 been reported in many animal and plant taxa based on genetic markers. The
 study of genomic patterns of closely related species with allopatric
 distributions allows the assessment of the relative importance of
 vicariant isolating events and past gene flow. Here, we investigated the
 role of gene flow in the evolutionary history of four closely related
 freshwater fish species with currently allopatric distributions in western
 Iberian rivers - Squalius carolitertii, S. pyrenaicus, S. torgalensis and
 S. aradensis - using a population genomics dataset of 23 562 SNPs from 48
 individuals, obtained through genotyping by sequencing (GBS). We uncovered
 a species tree with two well differentiated clades: (i) S. carolitertii
 and S. pyrenaicus; and (ii) S. torgalensis and S. aradensis. By using
 D-statistics and demographic modelling based on the site frequency
 spectrum, comparing alternative demographic scenarios of hybrid origin,
 secondary contact and isolation, we found that the S. pyrenaicus North
 lineage is likely the result of an ancient hybridization event between S.
 carolitertii (contributing ~84%) and S. pyrenaicus South lineage
 (contributing ~16%), consistent with a hybrid speciation scenario.
 Furthermore, in the hybrid lineage we identify outlier loci potentially
 affected by selection favouring genes from each parental lineage at
 different genomic regions. Our results suggest that ancient hybridization
 can affect speciation and that freshwater fish species currently in
 allopatry are useful to study these processes.
description: The dataset from "Genomic data and multi-species demographic
 modelling uncover past hybridization between currently allopatric
 freshwater species" was produced through Genotyping by Sequencing
 (GBS) of 65 individuals of four species of the genus Squalius. The files
 include the <em>denovo </em>catalog obtained (against which
 the reads of all individuals were mapped), as well as all the datasets
 produced and all scripts used to analyse them.

title: Tree abundance in eight 1-ha tropical forest plots in northeastern Costa Rica from 1997-2017

description: In 1997, four 1-ha plots were established in secondary forests (12-25 yr
 since establishment on former pasture) in northeastern Costa Rica, in and
 around La Selva Research Station. In 2005, four additional plots were
 established, two in 10-yr old sites and two in old growth sites. The
 dataset contains information for 155,378 trees. Each year, from 1997-2017
 all stems with a diameter of breast height ≥ 5 cm were censused in each
 site within 100 subplots of 10m x 10m. All but a few individuals were
 identified to species with confirmed identifications by local experts and
 vouchers. Life form for each species was also recorded as tree (reaching
 canopy), midtree (midstory tree), treelet (understory tree), shrub, liana,
 palm, or understory palm. The specimen-based data set contains data for
 all trees that were alive (not completely dead) and standing in each
 annual census, including notes on new recruits or damaged trees. Each tree
 individual is identified by a unique stem identifiation code and each
 entry has a unique specimen code. Each tree had a unique numbered tag,
 nailed into the stem. Locations of diameter measurements were painted on
 each tree to minimize annual variation and field technians had data from
 the prior year to confirm information for each tree. These were generally
 taken at 1.3 m height. In cases where a buttress or stilt root caused a
 stem irregularity, the measurement point was moved upwards beyond any stem
 irregularity. The diameter measurement for each specimen reflects each
 year's measurement point.
description: Data were collected by a team of local trained field technians
 (paraforesters) each year on a regular cycle. First, in each plot, tagged
 trees were relocated and measured for DBH and new recruits (5cm or
 greater) were tagged, identified, and measured for DBH. Tree condition was
 noted and dead trees were recorded as dead (fallen, rotted, standing
 dead). Vouchers were collected for species that needed identification and
 were compared with specimens in the La Selva herbarium.
 Data were first processed in excel files and then transferred to
 a relational database (Biota) and checked carefully each year. Any
 mistakes were corrected in the field and reentered in the database.
 Species names were updated in the database following information provided
 by the La Selva scientific staff.

title: Warming during maternal generations delays offspring germination in native and nonnative species

description: As environmental conditions shift due to global warming and other
 human-caused environmental changes, plastic responses in phenological
 traits like germination or flowering time may become increasingly
 important. While phenological plasticity is a common response to global
 warming, with many populations exhibiting earlier germination or flowering
 in warmer years, warming may also result in transgenerational plasticity,
 especially on early life stages. In other words, seeds produced by mothers
 inhabiting warmer environments may germinate faster (or slower) than seeds
 produced by mothers inhabiting ambient or cooler environments. Here, we
 use seeds collected from a field warming experiment to examine how
 germination and early growth differ in response to ambient vs. warmed
 (+3°C) temperatures experienced by both maternal and offspring
 generations. Because nonnative species are often more phenotypically
 plastic than native species and because a variety of life history traits
 and environmental factors affect the evolution of both within and
 transgenerational plasticity, we include multiple invasive and native
 plant species in our study. On average, warming experienced during
 maternal generations delayed germination by ~0.2 days/°C, although species
 varied in the magnitude of response. In contrast, warming during the
 offspring generation tended to advance germination by ~0.1 days/°C.
 Nonnative species demonstrated higher germination success than native
 species, but we detected no differences in germination timing between
 native and nonnative species or that native and nonnative species differed
 in either within- or transgenerational plasticity, although species
 (independent of native status) did exhibit differing degrees of within-
 and transgenerational plasticity in germination timing and early growth.
 This study suggests that temperatures experienced by maternal plants can
 influence their offspring’s germination phenology, potentially even more
 so than temperatures experienced in the offspring’s immediate environment.

title: Example measurements of electron energy and pitch angle distributions from Venus Express

description: Venus has negligible intrinsic magnetic fields to the first order, such
 that its ionosphere (the charged part of the atmosphere) interacts
 directly with the solar wind plasma and magnetic field. Therefore,
 magnetic connectivity to the ionosphere and/or solar wind is an important
 piece of information for understanding the near-Venus space environment
 and the Sun-Venus interaction. We utilize measurements from the Venus
 Express to determine magnetic connectivity, or magnetic topology, for the
 first time. We find three types of magnetic topology at Venus, one of
 which is unexpected. This study enhances our current understanding of
 Venus' magnetic configuration and lays the groundwork for a powerful
 new tool to help understand various topics of the near-Venus space
 environment.
description: The data file includes electron measurements supporting the
 manuscript, "Magnetic topology at Venus: new insights into the Venus
 plasma environment", submitted to Geophysical Research
 Letters. All datasets are measurements of electron
 energy and pitch angle distributions by the Electronspectrometer (ELS)
 onboard the Venus Express (VEx) spacecraft. The datasets are provided in

title: Supplemental data for: Late Sandbian (Sa2) radiolarians of the Pingliang Formation from the Guanzhuang section, Gansu Province, China

description: A diverse, well-preserved radiolarian assemblage is reported from the
 Sandbian age Climacograptus bicornis Graptolite Biozone. This new
 assemblage recovered from the Pingliang Formation in the Guanzhuang
 section, China includes six new species along with 13 other previously
 described taxa. Geminusphaera new genus incorporates G. grandis n. sp and
 G. kongtongensis n. sp. and is proposed for inaniguttids constructed from
 two distinct porous spheres bearing seven or more primary spines.
 Protopylentonema new genus is introduced to incorporate pylomate
 entactinarians with five-rayed initial spicules. It includes P. ordosensis
 n. sp. as well as P. aperta, P. rimata and P. insueta that were formerly
 assigned to Kalimnasphaera. Micro-computed tomography investigation of
 skeletal microstructure supports establishment of the new genera together
 with other new spumellarian species: Haplotaeniatum implexa n. sp.,
 Inanigutta quadrispinosa n. sp. and Kalimnasphaera pingliangensis n. sp..
 It also indicates that family level reassignment of Etymalbaillella from
 the Proventocitidae to the Ceratoikiscidae is appropriate. Global
 distribution of late Ordovician radiolarian occurrences highlights a
 strong preference for areas with equatorial to tropical sea surface
 temperatures. This must have led to ecological stress amongst radiolarian
 communities in adapting to global cooling in the Hirnantian.

title: Abundance of chondrichthyan genera through time

description: As of September 2019, the Florida Museum of Natural History (FLMNH) had a
 curated collection of 117,449 chondrichthyan specimens from Florida,
 spanning the Eocene through the Pleistocene. Herein, I evaluated the
 completeness of the chondrichthyan fossil record from Florida based on the
 FLMNH collection, while analyzing trends in taxonomic and ecomorphological
 diversity. At least 70 chondrichthyan taxa were recognized in the FLMNH
 collection, representing 10 orders, 26 families, and 42 genera; of which,
 20 taxa represent first occurrences from Florida. A sample of 107,698
 specimens was organized into 12 time bins to analyze taxonomic and
 ecomorphological diversity, with an expectation that diversity trends
 would correspond with global climate events (e.g., the Eocene-Oligocene
 Transition and the Middle Miocene Climatic Optimum). However, diversity
 trends were obscured by pervasive sampling bias, attributable to variable
 collection methods, research prioritizations, and regional lithologic
 controls. Sampling is particularly poor for smaller specimens and older
 geologic units (i.e., the Paleogene). Despite incomplete sampling of the
 Florida chondrichthyan fossil record, there was an apparent turnover along
 the Atlantic and Gulf coastal plains from a lamniform to carcharhiniform
 dominated chondrichthyan fauna that occurred during the Eocene. This
 turnover corresponded with the extinction of many lamniform taxa with
 grasping-dominated dentition types (e.g., Brachycarcharias, Jaekelotodus,
 and Macrorhizodus). Selachian taxa that survived the late Eocene
 extinctions were predominantly represented by cutting-dominant dentition
 types. Since cutting aids in the dismemberment of prey, this may reflect a
 macroevolutionary trend among selachians towards active predation and
 scavenging on larger prey, such as marine mammals.
