title: Ornamented species incur higher male mortality in the larval stage

description: Life-cycle stages are not always capable of evolving independently from
 each other, but it remains unclear if evolving to meet the demands of one
 stage actually imposes costs on other stages. Male ornamentation is a
 useful trait in which to test this potential evolutionary constraint
 because ornaments improve reproduction in the adult stage but can require
 the expression of risky traits in the juvenile stage. Here, I compared
 larval mortality between populations of ornamented and non-ornamented
 dragonfly species. Since males produce more exaggerated melanin wing
 ornaments than females, I tested if larval mortality of males is higher in
 populations of species that have evolved adult male wing ornamentation. My
 analyses reveal larval mortality is more male-biased in species that have
 evolved male ornamentation. These findings indicate that evolving to
 optimize mating for the adult stage imposes a cost to survival in the
 larval stage. Thus, this study reveals that evolution in one life-cycle
 stage can shape fitness differences in other stages over macroevolutionary
 timescales.

title: Raw FTIR Data for retraction of: An Eocene army ant

description: This dataset is related to a retraction of a published Biology Letters
 article, Sosiak et al. 2022, entitled "An Eocene Army Ant"
 (https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2022.0398). Shortly after publication of
 Sosiak et al. (2022), we received reports from two readers of historical
 collections comprising specimens similar in appearance to the one we
 reported in our initial article. These historic collections were
 originally mislabeled and were more recently revealed to be much younger
 sub-fossil resins (copal); both of these collections were also established
 roughly around the same timeframe (1920–1930s) associated with the museum
 specimen from Sosiak et al. (2022). This prompted us to investigate the
 provenance of the specimen reported in Sosiak et al. (2022) via FTIR
 spectroscopy. Our spectroscopic analysis did not recover a unique
 characteristic signature of Baltic amber and confirms that the specimen we
 initially reported is not Baltic amber but instead most probably
 sub-fossil copal. These data comprise the raw FTIR spectroscopic data we
 used to generate Figure 1 in the retraction as well as the R code
 underpinning that figure.

title: Optimal thermal conditions for corals extend poleward with oceanic warming

description: The capacity for poleward range expansions beyond the tropics in corals
 hinges on ecophysiological constraints and resulting responses to climatic
 variability. We applied thermal physiological constraints of corals
 adapted to extreme seasonality in Hong Kong, specifically the minimum
 annual temperature and the proportion of time annually spent at seasonal
 extremes, to ask how warming will affect habitat suitability at the
 poleward range edges of these foundational species in the Northwest
 Pacific. Climate model projections reveal an easing of thermal constraints
 on the leading edge of coral ecophysiological limits with an expansion of
 thermally suitable habitat poleward by 2-7 degrees in latitude depending
 on the coral species and model considered. We also highlight a potential
 divergence of present and future thermal regimes that may lead to a
 mismatch in suitability for corals currently inhabiting high-latitude
 reefs. Understanding the thermal constraints on coral range expansions and
 defining the potential range of corals is critical for adaptive management
 that focuses on coral conservation and ensuring ecosystem function of
 existing subtropical and temperate ecosystems.

title: Three common sampling techniques in Pleistocene coral reefs of the Red Sea: A comparison

description: Line Intercept Transects (LIT), Point Intercept Transects (PIT) and
 Photoquadrats (PQ) are the most common quantitative sampling techniques in
 modern and fossil coral reefs. Data from coral reefs obtained by the
 different methods are generally compared between various reef ages and
 localities. Quaternary reefs from warmer interglacial periods, which
 represent climate scenarios projected for the future, are particularly
 interesting for comparisons with modern reefs. Importantly, fossil reefs
 differ from modern reefs because they are diagenetically altered and
 time-averaged. While several studies have compared different quantitative
 methods in modern reefs, very few have dealt with the comparability among
 fossil and between fossil and modern reefs. Here, we compare LIT, PIT at
 10-, 20- and 50-cm intervals and PQ in two Pleistocene reef localities in
 Egypt. We find that alpha diversity, reef cover and community composition
 are dependent on the method. Results gained with plotless methods (LIT,
 PIT) differ strongly from results gained with plot methods (PQ). However,
 coral cover results are similar with LIT and PIT, and community
 composition is indistinguishable between the two, but alpha diversity
 depends on the interval used for PIT. We discuss the implications of our
 findings for comparing coral reefs of various ages and localities. We
 recommend surveying Pleistocene reefs with PIT at 20 cm intervals. This is
 because (1) alpha diversity is well captured, (2) the amount of
 time-averaging recorded by PIT is reduced compared to PQ, (3) the PIT
 results can be directly compared to reefs analysed by LIT and (4) the
 method is less time-consuming than LIT and PQ.

title: Historical climate change dynamics facilitated speciation and hybridization between highland and lowland species of Baripus ground beetles from Patagonia

description: One of the largest beetles of
 Patagonia, Baripus (Cardiophthalmus), includes 20
 currently described species. Its distribution ranges from the tip of
 Patagonia, on Tierra del Fuego Island, to isolated patches along the Andes
 and Extrandes mountains in northern Patagonia on the Payunia at
 &gt;3,000 m elevation. Here, using RADseq data, evidence is found of
 mixed ancestry in different lineages. Phylogenetic network reconstruction
 shows two hybridizing edges between lowland and highland species. Using
 environmental niche modeling, we show changes in geographic distribution
 of potential niches of species during the last glacial maximum compared to
 their present distribution. Increasing potential niche overlap among
 different species pairs possibly explains how lineages came into secondary
 contact, supporting the hypothesis of hybridization. In addition,
 morphological evolution is studied using geometric morphometrics on the
 network and evidence of transgressive evolution has been found involving
 the pronotum shape, as well as highland/lowland habitat preferences.
 Finally, based on genomics and morphological data and using an integrative
 coalescent-based species delimitation approach, the separate evolution of
 two lineages in the early stages of speciation is found. Taken together,
 the dynamics of diversification of Baripus beetles in both space
 and time are discussed.

title: Data from: Effect of infection and gonotrophic cycle on Aedes aegypti behavior and preferences

description: Targeting gravid females through chemical lures is a promising strategy in
 vector control; however, it requires the understanding of the factors
 susceptible to alter female oviposition behaviour. Here, we evaluated the
 effect of infection with chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and the number of
 gonotrophic cycles (GCs) on oviposition activity in Ae. aegypti. Dual
 choice oviposition assays were performed, where dodecanoic acid,
 pentadecanoic acid, n-heneicosane and a Sargasssum fluitans (Børgesen)
 Børgesen extract were tested in uninfected females and females infected
 with CHIKV, at the 1st and 2nd GC. Infected females displayed a lower
 percentage of oviposition and a higher number of eggs laid at the 1st GC.
 Then, combined effects of GC and CHIKV induced the preference towards the
 tested candidates to either increase or decrease with a chemical-dependent
 effect. These results allow a deeper understanding of the mechanisms
 involved in oviposition site selection and highlight the need for taking
 into account physiological stage changes to increase the control programs
 efficacy.

title: Data for: Intercomparison of commercial analyzers for atmospheric ethane and methane observations

description: Methane (CH4) is a strong greenhouse gas that has become the focus of
 climate mitigation policies in recent years. Ethane / methane ratios can
 be used to identify and partition the different sources of methane,
 especially in areas with natural gas mixed with biogenic methane
 emissions, such as cities. We assessed the precision, accuracy, and
 selectivity of three commercially available laser-based analyzers that
 have been marketed as measuring instantaneous dry mole fractions of
 methane and ethane in ambient air. The Aerodyne SuperDUAL instrument
 performed best of the three instruments but it requires expertise to
 operate and space for the large footprint. The Aeris Mira Ultra LDS
 analyzer also performed well for the price point and small footprint but
 required characterization of the water vapor dependence of reported
 concentrations and careful setup for use. The Picarro G2210-i precisely
 measured methane but it did not detect the 10 ppbv increases in ambient
 ethane detected by the other two instruments when sampling a plume of
 incompletely combusted natural gas. For long-term tower deployments or
 those with large mobile laboratories, the Aerodyne SuperDUAL provides the
 best precision for methane and ethane. For smaller mobile platforms, the
 Aeris MIRA is a more compact analyzer, and with careful use, can quantify
 thermogenic methane sources to sufficient precision for short term
 deployments in urban or oil and gas areas. We weighed the advantages of
 each instrument, including size, power requirement, ease of use on mobile
 platforms, and expertise needed to operate the instrument, and we
 recommend the Aerodyne SuperDUAL or the Aeris MIRA Ultra LDS depending on
 the situation.
description: We collected data and assessed the precision, accuracy, and
 selectivity of three commercially available laser-based analyzers that
 have been marketed as measuring instantaneous dry-mole fractions of
 methane and ethane in ambient air. The instruments were calibrated against
 NOAA standards and the humidity correction was characterized and applied.
 We took the data reported by each analyzer and merged them into one file
 (EthaneIntercomp_Feb_merged_v20220802.RData). We also conducted stability
 tests by sampling compressed air and sampled ambient air outside. We
 analyzed the data in R using the script

 as merged_data.csv and contains raw, humidity corrected and final
 calibrated dry mole fractions of various trace gases. The readme guide is

title: Data from: Intra-specific variation in responses to habitat restoration: Could artificial reefs increase spatiotemporal segregation between migratory phenotypes of lake sturgeon?

description: Habitat restoration is an important tool used to conserve biodiversity and
 restore species, but its effects are notoriously difficult to predict.
 Although outcomes of restoration projects are usually assessed using
 indices of species abundance and diversity, phenotypic differences among
 individuals within species are likely associated with differing responses
 to restored habitats. Here, we use lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) as
 a case study to illustrate how responses to habitat restoration can differ
 between phenotypes and potentially lead to unanticipated effects on
 populations. North America’s St. Clair River supports one of the largest
 remaining populations of lake sturgeon but has lost much spawning habitat
 due to its role as a major industrial corridor between the Laurentian
 Great Lakes Erie and Huron. Two artificial reefs were recently built in
 the lower and middle segments of the river to increase the available
 sturgeon spawning habitat. Interestingly, lake sturgeon in the St. Clair
 River express different migratory phenotypes that may be associated with
 different likelihoods of colonizing artificial reefs. Acoustic telemetry
 revealed that artificial reefs were more likely to be used by sturgeon
 that migrated downstream to overwinter in Lake St. Clair than those that
 migrated upstream to overwinter in Lake Huron. Furthermore, increasing
 time spent at the artificial reefs by Lake St. Clair migrants was
 associated with later arrival to and shorter occupancy of the river’s only
 natural spawning site, the primary location where the two phenotypes have
 opportunity to interbreed. Additional research is necessary to determine
 the ultimate impacts of the artificial reefs on lake sturgeon populations;
 nevertheless, our study showed phenotype-specific opportunity to colonize
 restored habitat and a mechanism through which this could lead to changes
 in gene flow. Our results illustrate the importance of considering
 intra-specific diversity when planning restoration projects and assessing
 the effects on populations.

title: Monitoring the compaction of single DNA molecules in Xenopus egg extract in real time

description: DNA compaction is required for the condensation and resolution of
 chromosomes during mitosis, but the relative contribution of individual
 chromatin factors to this process is poorly understood. We developed a
 physiological, cell-free system using high-speed Xenopus egg extracts and
 optical tweezers to investigate real-time mitotic chromatin fiber
 formation and force-induced disassembly on single DNA molecules. Compared
 to interphase extract, which compacted DNA by ~60%, metaphase extract
 reduced DNA length by over 90%, reflecting differences in whole-chromosome
 morphology under these two conditions. Depletion of the core histone
 chaperone ASF1, which inhibits nucleosome assembly, decreased the final
 degree of metaphase fiber compaction by 29%, while depletion of linker
 histone H1 had a greater effect, reducing total compaction by 40%.
 Compared to controls, both depletions reduced the rate of compaction, led
 to more short periods of decompaction, and increased the speed of
 force-induced fiber disassembly. In contrast, depletion of condensin from
 metaphase extract strongly inhibited fiber assembly, resulting in
 transient compaction events that were rapidly reversed under high force.
 Altogether, these findings support a speculative model in which condensin
 plays the predominant role in mitotic DNA compaction, while core and
 linker histones act to reduce slippage during loop extrusion and modulate
 the degree of DNA compaction.
description: For this dataset, force spectroscopy (optical tweezers)
 experiments were performed with dual-beam single-trap instruments equipped
 with force feedback using fluidics chambers constructed in
 house. For each trajectory file in this dataset, a
 6.2kb DNA tether was formed between an anti-dig-coated bead held in the
 optical trap and a streptavidin-coated bead that was held in place by a
 suction micropipette. Force and extension data were then recorded at 1
 kHz.. First, a force-extension curve was obtained by ramping the force
 from ~2 to ~40pN and back. Xenopus high-speed extract (HSE) was then flown
 through the chamber via a shunt for ~5 min while the tether was maintained
 at a high (15 pN) constant force. The constant force was then changed to
 ~1.5 pN to allow DNA compaction, and again to 15 pN for decompaction, with
 several cycles performed for each tether. DNA contour at each time point
 was obtained by fitting the force-extension curve to the extensible
 worm-like chain model. Please see the accompanying
 publication for further details of data collection and processing: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2221309120

title: Effects of brood and group size on nestling provisioning and resource allocation in a communal bird

description: Resource limitations, either due to environmental conditions or
 constraints on parental provisioning effort, can drive intense competition
 among offspring. In communal groups, resource availability may increase if
 parents receive assistance from other group members; however, if those
 caregivers also produce young, offspring demand may increase at the same
 time. It is possible, therefore, that the costs of intrabrood competition
 in large broods may outweigh the benefits of provisioning from additional
 caregivers. We tested the relationships between group size, brood size,
 and provisioning rates in the greater ani (Crotophaga major), a communally
 nesting cuckoo in which multiple breeding pairs and nonreproductive
 helpers cooperatively raise a shared brood. Crucially, brood and group
 size can vary independently in this species, allowing us to test changes
 in each variable separately. Using video footage of 2255 prey deliveries
 across 10 nests, we found that an increase in the number of adult
 caregivers within a group did not sufficiently offset a corresponding
 increase in the number of dependent young within a brood: prey
 availability per average nestling decreased with brood size, regardless of
 group size. In larger broods, last-hatched nestlings received
 significantly less prey than their broodmates, in part due to greater
 hatching asynchrony that exacerbated competitive asymmetries and
 facilitated inequality in food allocation. Our results indicate that
 last-hatched ani nestlings suffer a “double cost” in large broods: they
 must compete with more nestmates, and suffer disproportionately from
 asynchronous hatching. These costs may contribute to increased
 parent-offspring conflict and may constrain group size in communal
 breeders.

title: Data for: Landscape of fear or landscape of food? Moose hunting triggers an anti-predator response in brown bears

description: Hunters can affect the behavior of wildlife by inducing a landscape of
 fear, selecting individuals with specific traits, or by altering resource
 availability across the landscape. Most research investigating the
 influence of hunting on wildlife resource selection has focused on target
 species and less attention has been devoted to non-target species, such as
 scavengers that can be both attracted or repelled by hunting activities.
 We used resource selection functions to identify areas where hunters were
 most likely to kill moose (Alces alces) in south-central Sweden during the
 fall. Then, we used step-selection functions to determine whether female
 brown bears (Ursus arctos) selected or avoided these areas and specific
 resources during the moose hunting season. We found that, during both day
 and nighttime, female brown bears avoided areas where hunters were more
 likely to kill moose. We found evidence that resource selection by brown
 bears varied substantially during the fall and that some behavioral
 changes were consistent with disturbance associated with moose hunters.
 Brown bears were more likely to select concealed locations in young (i.e.,
 regenerating) and coniferous forests and areas further away from roads
 during the moose hunting season. Our results suggest that brown bears
 react to both spatial and temporal variations in apparent risk during the
 fall: moose hunters create a landscape of fear and trigger an
 anti-predator response in a large carnivore even if bears are not
 specifically targeted during the moose hunting season. Such anti-predator
 responses might lead to indirect habitat loss and lower foraging
 efficiency and the resulting consequences should be considered when
 planning hunting seasons.
