title: Data from: Consequences for piglet performance of group housing lactating sows at one, two, or three weeks post-farrowing

description: Housing lactating sows with piglets in a multi-suckling pen from around 14
 days post-farrowing is common practice in Swedish organic piglet
 production. However, nursing-suckling interaction is less frequent in
 multi-suckling pens than in individual farrowing pens, thus affecting
 piglet performance, e.g., piglet growth. Moreover, piglet mortality is
 higher in systems using multi-suckling pens. Three management routines
 whereby lactating sows with piglets were moved from individual farrowing
 pens to multi-suckling pens at one, two, or three weeks post-farrowing
 were compared in terms of nursing-suckling interaction and piglet
 performance. Correlations between nursing-suckling interaction, piglet
 performance, and piglet mortality were also examined. In total, 43
 Yorkshire sows with piglets were included in the study. Nursing-suckling
 interaction and all piglet performance parameters except piglet mortality
 did not differ between management routines. Piglet mortality in the
 individual farrowing pens did not differ between management routines, but
 piglet mortality in the multi-suckling pen was lower (P&lt;0.05) when
 piglets were group housed at three weeks compared with one week
 post-farrowing. Overall piglet mortality was positively correlated with
 mortality in the multi-suckling pen for piglets group housed at one week
 (r = 0.61: P&lt;0.05) and at two weeks post-farrowing (r = 0.62:
 P&lt;0.05) but not for piglets group housed at three weeks
 post-farrowing. In conclusion, overall piglet mortality could be reduced
 if sows and piglets are group housed at three weeks post-farrowing and
 piglet survival the first week post-farrowing is improved.

title: Data from: Patient and disease characteristics associated with activation for self-management in patients with diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic heart failure and chronic renal disease: a cross-sectional survey study

description: A substantial proportion of chronic disease patients do not respond to
 self-management interventions, which suggests that one size interventions
 do not fit all, demanding more tailored interventions. To compose more
 individualized strategies, we aim to increase our understanding of
 characteristics associated with patient activation for self-management and
 to evaluate whether these are disease-transcending. A cross-sectional
 survey study was conducted in primary and secondary care in patients with
 type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM-II), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
 (COPD), Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) and Chronic Renal Disease (CRD). Using
 multiple linear regression analysis, we analyzed associations between
 self-management activation (13-item Patient Activation Measure; PAM-13)
 and a wide range of socio-demographic, clinical, and psychosocial
 determinants. Furthermore, we assessed whether the associations between
 the determinants and the PAM were disease-transcending by testing whether
 disease was an effect modifier. In addition, we identified determinants
 associated with low activation for self-management using logistic
 regression analysis. We included 1154 patients (53% response rate); 422
 DM-II patients, 290 COPD patients, 223 HF patients and 219 CRD patients.
 Mean age was 69.6±10.9. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed 9
 explanatory determinants of activation for self-management: age, BMI,
 educational level, financial distress, physical health status, depression,
 illness perception, social support and underlying disease, explaining a
 variance of 16.3%. All associations, except for social support, were
 disease transcending. This study explored factors associated with varying
 levels of activation for self-management. These results are a first step
 in supporting clinicians and researchers to identify subpopulations of
 chronic disease patients less likely to be engaged in self-management.
 Increased scientific efforts are needed to explain the greater part of the
 factors that contribute to the complex nature of patient activation for
 self-management.

title: Data from: Reproductive isolation related to mimetic divergence in the poison frog Ranitomeya imitator

description: In a mimetic radiation—when a single species evolves to resemble different
 model species—mimicry can drive within-species morphological
 diversification, and, potentially, speciation. While mimetic radiations
 have occurred in a variety of taxa, their role in speciation remains
 poorly understood. We study the Peruvian poison frog Ranitomeya imitator,
 a species that has undergone a mimetic radiation into four distinct
 morphs. Using a combination of colour–pattern analysis, landscape genetics
 and mate-choice experiments, we show that a mimetic shift in R. imitator
 is associated with a narrow phenotypic transition zone, neutral genetic
 divergence and assortative mating, suggesting that divergent selection to
 resemble different model species has led to a breakdown in gene flow
 between these two populations. These results extend the effects of mimicry
 on speciation into a vertebrate system and characterize an early stage of
 speciation where reproductive isolation between mimetic morphs is
 incomplete but evident.

title: Data from: Selection on bristle length has the ability to drive the evolution of male abdominal appendages in the sepsid fly Themira biloba

description: Many exaggerated and novel traits are strongly influenced by sexual
 selection. Although sexual selection is a powerful evolutionary force,
 underlying genetic interactions can constrain evolutionary outcomes. The
 relative strength of selection vs. constraint has been a matter of debate
 for the evolution of male abdominal appendages in sepsid flies. These
 abdominal appendages are involved in courtship and mating, but their
 function has not been directly tested. We performed mate choice
 experiments to determine whether sexual selection acts on abdominal
 appendages in the sepsid Themira biloba. We tested whether appendage
 bristle length influenced successful insemination by surgically trimming
 the bristles. Females paired with males that had shortened bristles laid
 only unfertilized eggs, indicating that long bristles are necessary for
 successful insemination. We also tested whether the evolution of bristle
 length was constrained by phenotypic correlations with other traits.
 Analyses of phenotypic covariation indicated that bristle length was
 highly correlated with other abdominal appendage traits, but was not
 correlated with abdominal sternite size. Thus, abdominal appendages are
 not exaggerated traits like many sexual ornaments, but vary independently
 from body size. At the same time, strong correlations between bristle
 length and appendage length suggest that selection on bristle length is
 likely to result in a correlated increase in appendage length. Bristle
 length is under sexual selection in T. biloba and has the potential to
 evolve independently from abdomen size.

title: Data from: Bacteriocins and the assembly of natural Pseudomonas fluorescens populations

description: When competing for space and resources, bacteria produce toxins known as
 bacteriocins to gain an advantage over competitors. Recent studies in the
 laboratory have confirmed theoretical predictions that bacteriocin
 production can determine coexistence, by eradicating sensitive competitors
 or driving the emergence of resistant genotypes. However, there is
 currently limited evidence that bacteriocin-mediated competition
 influences the coexistence and distribution of genotypes in natural
 environments, and what factors drive interactions towards inhibition
 remain unclear. Using natural soil populations of Pseudomonas fluorescens,
 we assessed the ability of the isolates to inhibit one another with
 respect to spatial proximity in the field, genetic similarity and niche
 overlap. The majority of isolates were found to produce bacteriocins;
 however, widespread resistance between coexisting isolates meant
 relatively few interactions resulted in inhibition. When inhibition did
 occur, it occurred more frequently between ecologically similar isolates.
 However, in contrast with results from other natural populations, we found
 no relationship between the frequency of inhibition and the genetic
 similarity of competitors. Our results suggest that bacteriocin production
 plays an important role in mediating competition over resources in natural
 settings and, by selecting for isolates resistant to local bacteriocin
 production, can influence the assembly of natural populations of P.
 fluorescens.

title: Data from: Odor diversity decreases with inbreeding in the ant Hypoponera opacior

description: Reduction in heterozygosity can lead to inbreeding depression. This loss
 of genetic variability especially affects diverse loci, such as immune
 genes or those encoding recognition cues. In social insects, nestmates are
 recognized by their odor, i.e. their cuticular hydrocarbon profile. Genes
 underlying hydrocarbon production are thought to be under balancing
 selection. If so, inbreeding should result in a loss of chemical
 diversity. We show here that cuticular hydrocarbon diversity decreases
 with inbreeding. Studying an ant with a facultative inbreeding lifestyle
 we found inbred workers to exhibit both a lower number of hydrocarbons and
 less diverse, that is, less evenly-proportioned profiles. The association
 with inbreeding was strong for methyl-branched alkanes, which play a major
 role in nestmate recognition, and for n-alkanes, whereas unsaturated
 compounds were unaffected. Shifts in allocation strategies with inbreeding
 in our focal species indicate that these ants can detect their inbreeding
 level and use this information to adjust their reproductive strategy. Our
 study is the first to demonstrate that odor profiles can encode
 information on inbreeding, with broad implications not only for social
 insects, but for sexual selection and mate choice in general. Odor
 profiles may constitute an honest signal of inbreeding, a fitness-relevant
 trait in many species.

title: Data from: A genetic locus for paranoia

description: The psychological effects of brain-expressed imprinted genes in humans are
 virtually unknown. Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a neurogenetic condition
 mediated by genomic imprinting, which involves high rates of psychosis
 characterized by hallucinations and paranoia, as well as autism. Altered
 expression of two brain-expressed imprinted genes, MAGEL2 and NDN,
 mediates a suite of PWS-related phenotypes, including behavior, from
 studies of mice. We phenotyped a large population of typical individuals
 for schizophrenia-spectrum and autism-spectrum traits, and genotyped them
 for the single-nucleotide polymorphism rs850807, which is putatively
 functional and linked with MAGEL2 and NDN. Genetic variation in rs850807
 was strongly and exclusively associated with the Ideas of Reference
 subscale of the schizophrenia spectrum, which is best typified as
 paranoia. These findings provide a single-locus genetic model for
 analyzing the neurological and psychological bases of paranoid thinking,
 and implicate imprinted genes, and genomic conflicts, in human mentalistic
 thought.

title: Data from: Chemotherapy, within-host ecology and the fitness of drug-resistant malaria parasites

description: A major determinant of the rate at which drug-resistant malaria parasites
 spread through a population is the ecology of resistant and sensitive
 parasites sharing the same host. Drug treatment can significantly alter
 this ecology by removing the drug-sensitive parasites, leading to
 competitive release of resistant parasites. Here, we test the hypothesis
 that the spread of resistance can be slowed by reducing drug treatment and
 hence restricting competitive release. Using the rodent malaria model
 Plasmodium chabaudi, we found that low-dose chemotherapy did reduce
 competitive release. A higher drug dose regimen exerted stronger positive
 selection on resistant parasites for no detectable clinical gain. We
 estimated instantaneous selection coefficients throughout the course of
 replicate infections to analyze the temporal pattern of the strength and
 direction of within-host selection. The strength of selection on
 resistance varied through the course of infections, even in untreated
 infections, but increased immediately following drug treatment,
 particularly in the high-dose groups. Resistance remained under positive
 selection for much longer than expected from the half life of the drug.
 Although there are many differences between mice and people, our data do
 raise the question whether the aggressive treatment regimens aimed at
 complete parasite clearance are the best resistance-management strategies
 for humans.

title: Data from: Divergent trait and environment relationships among parallel radiations in Pelargonium (Geraniaceae): a role for evolutionary legacy?

description: Functional traits in closely related lineages are expected to vary
 similarly along common environmental gradients due to shared evolutionary
 and biogeographic history, or legacy effects, and due to biophysical
 tradeoffs in construction. We test these predictions in Pelargonium, a
 relatively recent evolutionary radiation. Bayesian phylogenetic mixed
 effects models assessed, at the subclade level, associations between plant
 height, leaf area, leaf nitrogen content and leaf mass per area (LMA), and
 five environmental variables capturing temperature and rainfall gradients
 across the Greater Cape Floristic Region of South Africa. Trait-trait
 integration was assessed via pairwise-correlations within subclades. Of 20
 trait-environment associations, 17 differed among subclades. Signs of
 regression coefficients diverged for height, leaf area and leaf nitrogen
 content, but not for LMA. Subclades also differed in trait-trait
 relationships and these differences were modulated by rainfall
 seasonality. Leave-one-out cross-validation revealed that whether trait
 variation was better predicted by environmental predictors or trait-trait
 integration depended on the clade and trait in question. Legacy signals in
 trait-environment and trait-trait relationships were apparently lost
 during the earliest diversification of Pelargonium, but then retained
 during subsequent subclade evolution. Overall, we demonstrate that
 global-scale patterns are poor predictors of patterns of trait variation
 at finer geographic and taxonomic scales.

title: Data from: Living near the edge: being close to mature forest increases the rate of succession in beetle communities

description: In increasingly fragmented landscapes, it is important to understand how
 mature forest affects adjacent secondary forest (forest influence). Forest
 influence on ecological succession of beetle communities is largely
 unknown. We investigated succession and forest influence using 235 m long
 transects across boundaries between mature and secondary forest at 15
 sites, sampling a chronosequence of three forest age classes (5-10, 23-29
 and 42-46 years since clearcutting) in tall eucalypt forest in Tasmania.
 Our results showed that ground-dwelling beetle communities showed strong
 successional changes, and in the oldest secondary forests, species
 considered indicators of mature forest had re-colonised to abundance
 levels similar to those observed within adjacent mature forest stands.
 However, species composition also showed forest influence gradients in all
 age classes. Forest influence was estimated to extend 13 m and 20 m in the
 youngest and intermediate aged secondary forests, respectively. However,
 the estimated effect extended to at least 176 m in the oldest secondary
 forest. Our environmental modelling suggests that leaf litter,
 microclimate and soil variables were all important in explaining the
 spatial variation in beetle assemblages, and the relative importance of
 factors varied between secondary forest age classes. Mature forest beetle
 communities can recolonise successfully from the edge and our results
 provide a basis for land managers to build mature habitat connectivity
 into forest mosaics typical of production forests. Our results also
 indicate the importance of forest influence in determining potential
 conservation value of older secondary forest for beetles.

title: Data from: Food limitation constrains host immune responses to nematode infections

description: Trade-offs in the allocation of finite-energy resources among
 immunological defences and other physiological processes are believed to
 influence infection risk and disease severity in food-limited wildlife
 populations. However, this prediction has received little experimental
 investigation. Here we test the hypothesis that food limitation impairs
 the ability of wild field voles (Microtus agrestis) to mount an immune
 response against parasite infections. We conducted a replicated experiment
 on vole populations maintained in large outdoor enclosures during boreal
 winter, using food supplementation and anthelmintic treatment of
 intestinal nematodes. Innate immune responses against intestinal parasite
 infections were compared between food-supplemented and non-supplemented
 voles. Voles with high food availability mounted stronger immune responses
 against intestinal nematode infections than food-limited voles. No food
 effects were seen in immune responses to intracellular coccidian
 parasites, possibly owing to their ability to avoid activation of innate
 immune pathways. Our findings demonstrate that food availability
 constrains vole immune responses against nematode infections, and support
 the concept that spatio-temporal heterogeneity in food availability
 creates variation in infectious disease susceptibility.
