title: A migratory sparrow has personality in winter that is independent of other traits

description: Small birds in winter face trade-offs between predation risk and foraging,
 and alternate life-history strategies may arise from these trade-offs.
 Animal personality shows similarities with alternative life-history
 strategies, and using a life-history context to understand personality can
 provide valuable insights. Golden-crowned sparrows, Zonotrichia
 atricapilla, a small migratory bird, have a complex winter social system
 with high site-fidelity, long-term social associations between individuals
 and competition mediated by badges of status. We asked whether
 golden-crowned sparrows show personalities during winter, whether these
 personalities were consistent over 3 years and whether they correlated
 with social and morphological traits. We found that golden-crowned
 sparrows had highly repeatable behaviours, as measured in captive
 behavioural assessments, constituting personalities consistent within one
 season and over time for up to 3 years, a time span that covers the
 average life span of the sparrows. While long-term repeatability was
 present, it varied considerably among different behaviours and time spans,
 and length of time between measures did not predict the magnitude of
 repeatability. Two movement-based aspects of sparrow personality were
 independent of the traits we measured (dominance, badges of status, size
 and age). However, nonsong vocalizations (a repeatable aspect of
 personality) correlated with wing length and gold badge size in some
 years. Because personality did not strongly link to the social traits we
 measured, sparrow personality could represent a separate axis of variation
 that might connect with other winter life-history parameters such as
 foraging, predation response or survival.
description: We studied wintering golden-crowned sparrows at the University of
 California Santa Cruz Arboretum. These migratory sparrows breed in Alaska
 and western Canada and are on the wintering grounds from late September
 through the end of April. We gathered all field data and ran aviary trials
 during three winter seasons. Season 1 spanned September 2014–May 2015,
 Season 2 spanned September 2015–May 2016, and Season 3 spanned September
 2016–May 2017. We will refer to each field season by the year in which it
 began: 2014, 2015, and 2016. For detailed data

title: Age at weaning in Steller sea lions

description: The duration of offspring care is critical to female fitness and
 population resilience by allowing flexibility in life history strategies
 in a variable environment.  Yet, for many mammals capable of
 extended periods of maternal care, estimates of the duration of offspring
 dependency are not available and the relative importance of flexibility of
 this trait on fitness and population viability has rarely been
 examined.  We used data from 4,447 Steller sea lions Eumetopias
 jubatus from the Gulf of Alaska and multistate hidden Markov
 mark-recapture models to estimate age-specific weaning probabilities.
 Maternal care beyond age 1 was common: weaning was later for animals from
 Southeast Alaska (SEAK) and Prince William Sound (PWS, weaning
 probabilities: 0.538–0.648 / 0.784–0.873 by age 1 / 2) compared to animals
 born to the west (0.714–0.855 / 0.798–0.938).  SEAK/PWS animals
 were also smaller than those born farther west, suggesting a possible
 link.  Females weaned slightly earlier (+0.080 at age 1 and 2)
 compared with males in SEAK only.  Poor survival for weaned
 versus unweaned yearlings occurred in southern SEAK (female survival
 probabilities: 0.609 versus 0.792) and the central Gulf (0.667 versus
 0.901), suggesting poor conditions for juveniles in these areas. 
 First-year survival increased with neonatal body mass (NBM) linearly in
 the Gulf and non-linearly in SEAK.  The probability of weaning at
 age 1 increased linearly with NBM for SEAK animals only. Rookeries where
 juveniles weaned at earlier ages had lower adult female survival, but age
 at weaning was unrelated to population trends.  Our results
 suggest the time to weaning may be optimized for different habitats based
 on long-term average conditions (e.g., prey dynamics), that may also shape
 body size, with limited short-term plasticity.  An apparent
 trade-off of adult survival in favor of juvenile survival and large
 offspring size in the endangered Gulf of Alaska population requires
 further study.

title: Repellency of 41 plant species to citrus psyllids

description: Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most devastating citrus disease worldwide. The
 organism associated with the disease is spread by an insect vector,
 Diaphorina citri, commonly known as Asian citrus psyllid (ACP). Current
 management of HLB relies either on physical removal of the infected plants
 or on chemical control of ACP. Both methods are costly and not overly
 effective. In addition, public concerns regarding insecticide residues in
 fruit have greatly increased in recent years. It has been hypothesized
 that plant volatiles could act as repellents to ACP, thus reduce the
 incidence of HLB. To test this hypothesis, the repellency of fresh tissues
 of 41 aromatic plant species to ACP was investigated. The repellency of
 individual species was determined using a Y-tube olfactometer. Our results
 showed that volatiles of five plant species were highly effective in
 repelling ACP with repellency as much as 76%. Among these, the tree
 species, Camptotheca acuminate, and the two shrubs, Lantana camara and
 Mimosa bimucronata, could potentially be planted as a landscape barrier.
 The two herbs, Capsicum annuum and Gynura bicolor, could potentially be
 used as interplantings in orchards. This is the first time that the
 repellency of fresh tissues from a diverse range of plant species to ACP
 has been determined. Although further field evaluation of various
 interplanting regimes and landscape barriers are needed to assess their
 effectiveness, our results showed that these aromatic species, being
 highly repellent to ACP, offer great potential as more cost-effective and
 environmentally sustainable alternatives to the current methods of
 managing HLB.

title: Phylogeography and genetic diversity of the widespread katydid Ducetia japonica (Thunberg, 1815) across China

description: Habitat fragmentation can lower migration rates and genetic connectivity
 among remaining populations of native species. Ducetia japonica as one of
 the most widespread katydids in China, but little is known about its
 genetic structure and phylogeographic distribution. We combined the
 five-prime region of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI-5P), 11 newly
 developed microsatellite loci coupled with an ecological niche model (ENM)
 to examine the genetic diversity and population structure of D. japonica
 in China and beyond to Laos and Singapore. Both Bayesian inference (BI)
 and haplotype network methods revealed six mitochondrial COI-5P lineages.
 The distribution of COI-5P haplotypes may not demonstrate significant
 phylogeographic structure (NST &gt; GST, p &gt; 0.05). The
 STRUCTURE analysis based on microsatellite data also revealed six genetic
 clusters, but discordant with those obtained from COI-5P haplotypes. For
 both COI-5P and microsatellite data, Mantel tests revealed a significant
 positive correlation between geographic and genetic distances in mainland
 China. Bayesian skyline plots (BSP) analyses indicated that the population
 size of D. japonica’s three major mitochondrial COI-5P lineages were
 seemingly not affected by last glacial maximum (LGM, 0.015-0.025 Mya). The
 ecological niche models showed that the current distribution of D.
 japonica was similar to the species’ distribution during the LGM period,
 and only slightly extended in northern China. Further phylogeographic
 studies based on more extensive sampling are needed to identify specific
 locations of glacial refugia in northern China.

title: Dispersal of Drosophila melanogaster over landscapes with different food patch structures

description: Theoretical and empirical studies often show that within populations,
 individuals vary in their propensity to disperse. We aspired to understand
 how this behavioural variation is impacted by the distribution and pattern
 of food patches across a landscape. In a series of experiments, we
 examined how inter-patch distance and the distribution of food patches
 influenced dispersal in wild-type strains of Drosophila melanogaster with
 natural allelic variants of the foraging (for) gene known to influence
 dispersal in this species. The “rover” strain was homozygous for the forR
 allele (more dispersive) whereas the “sitter” strain was homozygous for
 fors (less dispersive). We also assessed an outbred population of flies
 with an unknown dispersal propensity. Dispersal was assayed in a
 multi-patch lab arena (25 cells, 5 x 5 array). In the inter-patch distance
 trials, landscapes of two different sizes (small vs. large) were used,
 both with food in all 25 cells. Dispersal was reduced in the large
 landscape relative to the small landscape for all three fly strains.
 Sitter dispersal was lowest relative to both rovers and the outbred flies,
 whose dispersal tendencies were similar. In the patch distribution trials,
 flies were assayed in landscapes with varying distribution and number of
 cells containing food. Dispersal generally increased as the number of
 patches with food increased, however, rovers and sitters adopted similar
 dispersal strategies when food was fixed and limited. Conversely, their
 strategies differed when the total amount of food increased along with the
 number of patches. We found that both the inter-patch distance and
 distribution can influence dispersal. However, the effect of inter-patch
 distance and distribution on dispersal depends on genotype x environment
 interaction (G x E). Our findings highlight the importance of considering
 G x E when assessing how dispersal strategies and landscape dynamics
 influence the distribution of animal communities.
description: The metadata is included in the data file. At 20 minute time
 intervals (24 time intervals) the total number of new movements
 (transitions) were scored. For eample, at time 40 minutes the total number
 of flies within an arena that moved from one patch to another was
 scored.

title: Phylogenetic signatures of ecological divergence and leapfrog adaptive radiation in Espeletia

description: PREMISE: Events of accelerated species diversification represent one of
 Earth’s most celebrated evolutionary outcomes. Northern Andean
 high-elevation ecosystems, or páramos, host some plant lineages that have
 experienced the fastest diversification rates, likely triggered by
 ecological opportunities created by mountain uplifts, local climate shifts
 and key trait innovations. However, the mechanisms behind rapid speciation
 into the new adaptive zone provided by these opportunities have long
 remained unclear.  METHODS: We address this issue by studying the
 Venezuelan clade of Espeletia, a species-rich group of
 páramo-endemics showing a dazzling ecological and morphological diversity.
 We performed a number of comparative analyses to study both lineage and
 trait diversification, using an updated molecular phylogeny of this plant
 group. KEY RESULTS: We showed that sets of either vegetative or
 reproductive traits have conjointly diversified in Espeletiaalong
 different vegetation belts, leading to adaptive syndromes. Diversification
 in vegetative traits occurred earlier than in reproductive ones. The rate
 of species and morphological diversification showed a tendency to slow
 down over time, probably due to diversity dependence. We also found that
 closely related species exhibit significantly more overlap in their
 geographic distributions than distantly related taxa, suggesting that most
 events of ecological divergence occurred at close geographic proximity
 within páramos. CONCLUSIONS: These results provide compelling support for
 a scenario of small-scale ecological divergence along multiple ecological
 niche dimensions, possibly driven by competitive interactions between
 species, and acting sequentially over time in a leapfrog pattern.

title: A quantitative genetics approach to cross-validate lab- versus field-based behavior in novel environments

description: Conclusions about the adaptive nature of repeatable variation in behavior
 (i.e., “personality”) are often based on laboratory-based behavioral
 assays. However, the expression of genetic variation differs between
 laboratory and field. Laboratory-based behavior might not predict
 field-based behavior thus, cross-context validation is required. We
 therefore estimated the correlation between an established laboratory and
 field assay of activity in a novel environment applied to wild great tits
 (Parus major), both of which have been used as proxies for ‘exploration
 tendency’. Both behaviors had similar repeatability (R = 0.35 vs. 0.37)
 but differed in heritability (h² = 0.06 vs. 0.23), implying differences in
 evolvability. Unexpectedly, they were independent, thus reflecting
 expressions of two distinct underlying characters. Post hoc simulations
 show that sampling bias did not explain the lack of correlation.
  Laboratory-based assays may reflect fear and exploration, but
 field-based assays escape behavior instead. Thus, in great tits, activity
 behaviors expressed in laboratory vs. field setups are modulated by
 multiple quasi-independent characters that differ in evolvability
 potential. The lack of cross-context correlation shown here may more
 generally apply to other setups, repeatable behaviors and taxa. Our study
 implies care should be taken in labeling behaviors prior to firm
 validation.

title: Gene expression data of Sinorhizobium meliloti-alfalfa initiation of symbiosis

description: Rhizobia are ecologically important, facultative plant symbiotic microbes.
 In nature there exists large variability in the association of rhizobial
 strains and host plants of the same species. Here, we evaluated whether
 plant and rhizobial genotypes influence the initial transcriptional
 response of rhizobium following perception of host plant. RNA-sequencing
 of the model rhizobium Sinorhizobium meliloti exposed to root exudates or
 luteolin was performed in a combination of three S. meliloti strains and
 three Medicago sativa varieties. The response to root exudates involved
 hundreds of changes in the rhizobium transcriptome. Of the differentially
 expressed genes, expression of 35% were influenced by strain genotype, 16%
 by the plant genotype, and 29% by strain x host plant genotype
 interactions. We also examined the response of a hybrid S. meliloti
 strain, in which the symbiotic megaplasmid (~ 20% of the genome) was
 mobilized between two of the above-mentioned strains. Dozens of genes were
 up-regulated in the hybrid strain, indicative of nonadditive variation in
 the transcriptome. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that
 transcriptional responses of rhizobia upon perception of legumes is
 influenced by the genotypes of both symbiotic partners, and their
 interaction, a wide spectrum of genetic determinants involved in the
 phenotypic variation of plant-rhizobium symbiosis.

title: Data from: Dispersal decreases survival but increases reproductive opportunities for subordinates in a cooperative breeder

description: In most socially structured populations, the formation of new groups
 depends on the survival and reproduction of dispersing individuals.
 Quantifying vital rates in dispersers, however, is difficult due to
 logistic challenges of following wide-ranging animals. Here, using data
 from free-ranging meerkats (Suricata suricatta), we estimated survival and
 reproduction of dispersing and established resident females. Meerkat
 groups consist of a dominant pair and several subordinate helpers. Female
 helpers are evicted from their resident groups by the dominant female,
 allowing her to monopolize reproduction, and evicted females may form
 small dispersing coalitions. As in established resident groups, one female
 is behaviourally dominant in parties of dispersing females. We compared
 the survival, birth, and recruitment rates of dominant and
 subordinate females in dispersing coalitions to those of dominant and
 subordinate females in resident groups. We further compared the
 frequencies of different mortality causes (e.g., predation, disease)
 between dispersers and residents. For dispersers, we assessed if survival
 rates varied with dispersal distance and between transience and settlement
 stages of dispersal. During dispersal and the first four months after new
 group formation, survival is lower for all females compared to established
 resident groups. At the same time, subordinates in disperser groups have
 higher birth rates than those in established groups, which rarely breed
 successfully. This may partly offset the survival costs of dispersal to
 subordinate females. Further studies of dispersal based on direct
 observation of dispersing animals are needed to explore the costs and
 benefits of dispersal in species with contrasting breeding systems.
description: Using GPS and VHF tracking methods, we located animals and
 collected life-history data from dispersing and resident female
 meerkats, inlcuding survival rates at daily intervals and reproductive
 rates at monthly intervals.
