title: Microsatellite genotype data from: Male-biased dispersal in a fungus-gardening ant symbiosis (Matthews et al, Ecology and Evolution)

description: For nearly all organisms, dispersal is a fundamental life history trait
 that can shape their ecology and evolution. Variation in dispersal
 capabilities within a species exists and can influence population genetic
 structure and ecological interactions. In fungus-gardening (attine) ants,
 co-dispersal of ants and mutualistic fungi is crucial to the success of
 this obligate symbiosis. Female-biased dispersal (and gene flow) may be
 favored in attines because virgin queens carry the responsibility of
 dispersing the fungi, but a paucity of research has made this conclusion
 difficult. Here, we investigate dispersal of the fungus-gardening ant
 Trachymyrmex septentrionalis using a combination of maternally-
 (mitochondrial DNA) and biparentally-inherited (microsatellites) markers.
 We found three distinct, spatially isolated mitochondrial DNA haplotypes;
 two were found in the Florida panhandle and the other in the Florida
 peninsula. In contrast, biparental markers illustrated significant gene
 flow across this region and minimal spatial structure. The differential
 patterns uncovered from mitochondrial DNA and microsatellite markers
 suggest that most long-distance ant dispersal is male-biased and that
 females (and concomitantly the fungus) have more limited dispersal
 capabilities. Consequently, the limited female dispersal is likely an
 important bottleneck for the fungal symbiont. This bottleneck could slow
 fungal genetic diversification, which has significant implications for
 both ant hosts and fungal symbionts regarding population genetics, species
 distributions, adaptive responses to environmental change, and
 coevolutionary patterns.

title: Removal of gut symbiotic bacteria negatively affects life history traits of the shield bug, Graphosoma lineatum

description: Bacterial Symbionts play an important biological role in their host. G.
 lineatum harbor bacterial symbiont in the enclosed crypts of the midgut.
 It seems that the bacterial symbiont play important role in the insect.
 Therefore, in this study, the role of bacterial symbiont in the shield
 bug, Graphosoma lineatum (Heteroptera, Pentatomidae) was investigated. To
 do this symbiont elimination was performed using surface sterilization of
 the eggs. Then, we utilized age-stage, two-sex life table analysis to
 confirm the biological importance of bacterial symbiont in G. lineatum.
 According to our results symbiont removal had a significantly negative
 effect on the biology of the insect. These results clearly indicate this
 symbiont is essential for normal growth and reproduction.

title: Data from: Elastogravity waves and dynamic ground motions in the Korean Peninsula generated by the 11 March 2011 Mw9.0 Tohoku-Oki megathrust earthquake

description: The mass dislocations caused by large coseismic slips in megathrust
 earthquakes are large enough to produce elastogravity waves.
 Despite successful identification of elastogravity-wave
 development during megathrust earthquakes, the nature of ground
 motions and hazard potentials in regional and teleseismic distances
 remains unknown. The dynamic ground motions from the 11 March
 2011 MW9.0 Tohoku-Oki megathrust earthquake are retrieved from
 broadband seismic records throughout the Korean Peninsula. The
 dynamic ground motions of the megathrust earthquake are dominated
 by low-frequency (&lt;0.1 Hz) energy that is a mixture of
 elastogravity waves and seismic waves. The peak dynamic ground
 displacements in the Korean Peninsula reached ∼20 cm with
 horizontal permanent displacements of ∼2 cm or more.
 Radially-polarized elastogravity waves developed instantly at the
 event origin time. Very-long-period (&lt;0.004 Hz) energy is
 a mixture of seismic waves and coseismic permanent displacements,
 presenting radially polarized retrograde particle motions for
 ∼600 s. The peak ground displacements and velocities for
 the Tohoku-Oki earthquake are larger than those for a local MW5.4
 earthquake. The peak ground motions vary azimuthally following
 the source radiation pattern. The tangential peak ground
 displacement increases with distance along continental ray paths
 due to the development of crustally guided waves. Large and slow
 dynamic ground motions cause dynamic stress changes of ∼1.8 MPa
 in the lithosphere of the Korean Peninsula, while the properties
 of the mantle are scarcely affected by slow dynamic motions. The
 large long-period displacements induced by megathrust earthquakes
 may cause considerable long-duration distortion on large buildings
 at regional and teleseismic distances. The characteristic
 elastogravity-wave features may be used for detection of
 mass-dislocation events.

title: Brain size predicts learning abilities in bees

description: When it comes to the brain, bigger is generally considered better in terms
 of cognitive performance. While this notion is supported by studies of
 birds and primates showing that larger brains improve learning capacity,
 similar evidence is surprisingly lacking for invertebrates. Although the
 brain of invertebrates is smaller and simpler than that of vertebrates,
 recent work in insects has revealed enormous variation in size across
 species. Here, we ask whether bee species that have larger brains also
 have higher learning abilities. We conducted an experiment in which
 field-collected individuals had to associate an unconditioned stimulus
 (sucrose) with a conditioned stimulus (colored strip). We found that most
 species can learn to associate a color with a reward, yet some do so
 better than others. These differences in learning were related to brain
 size: species with larger brains — both absolute and relative to body
 size— exhibited enhanced performance to learn the reward-color
 association. Our finding highlights the functional significance of brain
 size in insects, filling a major gap in our understanding of brain
 evolution and opening new opportunities for future research.

title: Fungal root-endophytes influence plants in a species-specific manner that depends on plant's growth stage

description: The mycobiome (fungal microbiome) influences plants— from seed germination
 to full maturation. While many studies on fungal-plant interaction studies
 have focused on known mutualistic and pathogenic fungi, the functional
 role of ubiquitous endophytic fungi remains little explored. We examined
 how root-inhabiting fungi (endophytes) influence range expanding plant
 species. We isolated endophytes from three European intra-continental
 range-expanders and three congenerics that are native both in the
 range-expander’s original (southern Europe) and new (northern Europe)
 range. To standardize our collection, endophytes were obtained from all
 six plant species growing under controlled conditions in northern (new
 range of the range-expander) and southern (native range of the
 range-expander) soils. We cultivated, molecularly identified and tested
 the effects of all isolates on seed germination, and growth of seedlings
 and older plants. Most of the 34 isolates could not be functionally
 characterized based on their taxonomic identity and literature information
 on functions. Endophytes affected plant growth in a plant
 species-endophyte specific manner, but overall differed between
 range-expanders and natives. While endophytes reduced germination and
 growth of range-expanders compared to natives, they reduced seedling
 growth of natives more than of range-expanders. Synthesis: We conclude
 that endophytic fungi have a direct effect on plant growth in a plant
 growth stage-dependent manner. While these effects differed between range
 expanders and natives, the effect strength and significance varied among
 the plant genera included in the present study. Nevertheless, endophytes
 likely influence establishment of newly arriving plants and influence
 vegetation dynamics

title: Data from: Comparative transcriptomic analysis of the mechanisms underpinning ageing and fecundity in social insects

description: Exceptional longevity of social insect queens despite
 their lifelong high fecundity remains poorly understood in ageing
 biology. To gain insights into the mechanisms that might underlie
 ageing in social insects, we compared gene expression patterns
 between young and old castes (both queens and workers) across
 different lineages of social insects (two termite, two
 bee and two ant species). After global analyses, we
 paid particular attention to genes of the insulin/insulin-like
 growth factor 1 signalling (IIS)/target of rapamycin
 (TOR)/juvenile hormone (JH) network, which is well known to
 regulate lifespan and the trade-off between reproduction and somatic
 maintenance in solitary insects. Our results reveal a major role
 of the downstream components and target genes of this
 network (e.g. JH signalling, vitellogenins, major royal jelly
 proteins and immune genes) in affecting ageing and the
 caste-specific physiology of social insects, but an apparently
 lesser role of the upstream IIS/TOR signalling components. Together with a
 growing appreciation of the importance of such downstream
 targets, this leads us to propose the TI–J–LiFe (TOR/IIS–JH–Lifespan and
 Fecundity) network as a conceptual framework for understanding the
 mechanisms of ageing and fecundity in social insects and beyond.

 when and how does sociality change ageing patterns?’.

title: Winter inputs buffer streamflow sensitivity to snowpack losses in the Salt River Watershed in the Lower Colorado River Basin

description: Recent streamflow declines in the Upper Colorado River Basin raise
 concerns about the sensitivity of water supply for 40 million people to
 rising temperatures. Yet, other studies in western US river basins present
 a paradox: streamflow has not consistently declined with warming and snow
 loss. A potential explanation for this lack of consistency is
 warming-induced production of winter runoff when potential evaporative
 losses are low. This mechanism is more likely in basins at lower
 elevations or latitudes with relatively warm winter temperatures and
 intermittent snowpacks. We test whether this accounts for streamflow
 patterns in nine gaged basins of the Salt River and its tributaries, which
 is a sub-basin in the Lower Colorado River Basin (LCRB). We develop a
 basin-scale model that separates snow and rainfall inputs and simulates
 snow accumulation and melt using temperature, precipitation, and relative
 humidity. Despite significant warming from 1968–2011 and snow loss in many
 of the basins, annual and seasonal streamflow did not decline. Between 25%
 and 50% of annual streamflow is generated in winter (NDJF) when runoff
 ratios are generally higher and potential evapotranspiration losses are
 one-third of potential losses in spring (MAMJ). Sub-annual streamflow
 responses to winter inputs were larger and more efficient than spring and
 summer responses and their frequencies and magnitudes increased in
 1968–2011 compared to 1929–1967. In total, 75% of the largest winter
 events were associated with atmospheric rivers, which can produce large
 cool-season streamflow peaks. We conclude that temperature-induced snow
 loss in this LCRB sub-basin was moderated by enhanced winter hydrological
 inputs and streamflow production.
description: This dataset was created from publicly available sources as
 described in published article. This dataset contains data for sub-annual
 streamflow responses to hydrological inputs for the Salt Basin and its
 gaged tributaries in Arizona, USA. These sub-annual responses are termed
 Quickflow Response Intervals or QRIs. See published article for more
 detailed information on how QRIs were identified and analyzed.
description: Some QRIs have missing values for Runoff Ratios when the inputs
 were very low.

title: Assessing carnivore spatial co-occurrence and temporal overlap in the face of human interference in a semi-arid forest

description: Apex predators drive top-down effects in ecosystems and the loss of such
 species can trigger mesopredator release. This ecological process has been
 well documented in human-modified small areas, but for management and
 conservation of ecological communities, it is important to know which
 human factors affect apex predator occurrence and which mediate
 mesopredators release at large scales. We hypothesized that mesopredators
 would avoid spatial and temporal overlap with the apex predator, the puma;
 but that human perturbations (i.e. cattle raising and trophy hunting)
 would dampen top-down effects and mediate habitat use. We installed 16
 camera traps in each of 45, 10x10-km grid cells in the Caldén forest
 region of central Argentina resulting in 706 total stations covering
 61,611km2. We used single-season occupancy and two-species co-occurrence
 models and calculated the species interaction factor (SIF) to explore the
 contributions of habitat, biotic, and anthropic variables in explaining
 co-occurrence between carnivore pairs. We also used kernel density
 estimation techniques to analyze temporal overlap in activity patterns of
 the carnivore guild. We found that puma habitat use increased with
 abundance of large prey and with proximity to protected areas.
 Geoffroy's cats and skunks spatially avoided pumas and this effect
 was strong and mediated by distance to protected areas and game reserves,
 but pumas did not influence pampas fox and pampas cat space use. At medium
 and low levels of puma occupancy, we found evidence of spatial avoidance
 between 3 pairs of mesocarnivores. All predators were mostly nocturnal and
 crepuscular across seasons and mesopredators showed little consistent
 evidence of changing activity patterns with varying levels of puma
 occupancy or human interference. We found potential for mesopredator
 release at large scale, especially on the spatial niche axis. Our results
 suggest that a combination of interacting factors, in conjunction with
 habitat features and intervening human activities, may make mesopredator
 release unlikely or difficult to discern at broad scales. Overall, we
 believe that promoting the creation of new protected areas linked by small
 forest patches would likely lead to increased predator and prey
 abundances, as well as the interactions among carnivores inside and
 outside of protected areas.

title: Primary data on skull and brain morphology for: Geographical patterns in seasonal changes of body mass, skull, and brain size of common shrews

description: Some small mammals exhibit Dehnel’s Phenomenon, a drastic decrease in body
 mass, braincase and brain size from summer to winter, followed by regrowth
 in spring. This is accompanied by a reorganization of the brain and
 changes in other organs. The evolutionary link between these changes and
 seasonality remains unclear, although the intensity of change varies
 between locations as the phenomenon is thought to lead to energy savings
 during winter. Here we explored geographic variation of the intensity of
 Dehnel’s Phenomenon in Sorex araneus. We compiled literature on seasonal
 changes in braincase size, brain and body mass, supplemented by our own
 data from Poland, Germany, and the Czech Republic. We analysed the effect
 of geographic and climate variables on the intensity of change and
 patterns of brain reorganization. From summer to winter the braincase
 height decreased by 13%, followed by 10% regrowth in spring. For body mass
 the changes were -21%/+82%, respectively. Changes increased towards
 northeast. Several climate variables were correlated with these
 transformations, confirming a link of the intensity of the changes with
 environmental conditions. This relationship differed for the decrease vs.
 regrowth, suggesting that they may have evolved under different selective
 pressures. We found no geographic trends explaining variability in the
 brain mass changes although they were similar (-21%/+10%) to those of the
 braincase size. Underlying patterns of change in brain organisation in
 north-eastern Poland were almost identical to the pattern observed in
 southern Germany. This indicates that local habitat characteristics may
 play a more important role in determining brain structure than broad scale
 geographic conditions. We discuss the techniques and criteria used for
 studying this phenomenon, as well as its potential presence in other taxa
 and the importance of distinguishing it from other kinds of seasonal
 variation.

title: Nexus-formatted text file of ISSR band presence/absence for 75 loci in Corallorhiza bentleyi

description: Mycoheterotrophic plants derive most or all carbon and nutrients from
 fungal partners and represent poorly understood components of forest
 biodiversity. Many are rare or endangered yet can be ecological indicators
 of forest ecosystem function due to their often highly specific fungal
 host requirements. One such species is the IUCN red-listed (‘vulnerable’),
 fully mycoheterotrophic orchid, Corallorhiza bentleyi. This recently
 described species is among the rarest plants in Appalachia, known from
 five counties in Virginia and West Virginia, USA. The species has a
 restricted range, small population size, and is self-pollinating. Here, an
 integrative approach was taken in conservation genetic assessment of C.
 bentleyi using floral morphometrics, simple-sequence repeats, and fungal
 host DNA to characterize variation within and among sampling localities.
 Morphology reveals some differentiation among individuals from six
 sampling localities. Surprisingly, most genetic variation is found within
 localities, contrary to the expectation for a selfing species. Fungal host
 DNA reveals extreme specificity upon a few genotypes of a single
 ectomycorrhizal host species, Tomentella fuscocinerea, across all
 localities. The conservation implications of morphological, genetic, and
 symbiotic diversity in this vulnerable species are discussed, and
 additional assessment of conservation status is recommended based on: an
 obligate reproductive mode of selfing, preventing benefits of outcrossing
 among genetically non-identical individuals; extreme host specificity,
 severely restricting niche space; and highly fragmented habitat under
 threat from anthropogenic disturbance. This study underscores the
 importance of integrative conservation assessment, analyzing multiple data
 sources, and reveals patterns not readily apparent from census-based
 assessments alone.
