title: Data from: The adaptive cline at Ldh (lactate dehydrogenase) in killifish Fundulus heteroclitus remains stationary after 40 years of warming estuaries

description: Since the 1970s, water temperatures along the Atlantic seaboard of the
 United States have risen by an average of 0.5ºC in summer months and 2.2ºC
 in winter months. In response, the distribution and abundance of several
 nearshore species have changed dramatically, but no study has attempted to
 document whether estuarine populations have evolved greater thermal
 tolerance. Here, we re-examine the classic latitudinal cline at lactate
 dehydrogenase in the killifish Fundulus heteroclitus that was originally
 described by Dennis Powers and associates from samples collected between
 1970-72. Laboratory and field evidence indicated that northern and
 southern isozymes at muscle lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) are locally
 adapted to cold and warm temperatures, respectively. Despite the potential
 for evolutionary response at this adaptive locus, we detected no
 significant shift of the LDH cline between the early 1970s and 2010. We
 conclude that microevolution of LDH-mediated thermal tolerance has not
 occurred, shifts in alleles are too incremental to be distinguished from
 random processes, or that F. heteroclitus uses phenotypic and genetic
 mechanisms besides LDH to respond to warmer waters.

title: Data from: A theory of island biogeography for exotic species

description: The theory of island biogeography has played a pivotal role in the way
 ecologists view communities. However, it does not account for exotic
 species explicitly, which limits its use as a conservation tool. Here, I
 present the results of a long-term study of plant communities inhabiting
 an archipelago of small islands off the coast of New Zealand and derive a
 modified version of the theory of island biogeography to predict
 differences in the turnover and diversity of native and exotic species.
 Empirical results showed that, although species richness of both native
 and exotic plant species increased with island area, native species
 consistently outnumbered exotic species. Species turnover increased with
 species richness in both groups. However, opposite to species-area
 patterns, turnover increased more rapidly with species richness in exotic
 species. Empirical results were consistent with the modified version of
 the theory of island biogeography, which distinguishes exotic species from
 native species by decoupling extinction rates of exotic species from
 island area, because they are represented by only small populations at the
 initial stages of invasion. Overall results illustrate how the theory of
 island biogeography can be modified to reflect the dynamics of exotic
 species as they invade archipelagos, expanding its use as a conservation
 tool.

title: Data from: An invasive species reverses the roles in a host-parasite relationship between bitterling fish and unionid mussels

description: The impact of multiple invading species can be magnified due to mutual
 facilitation, termed “invasional meltdown”, but invasive species can also
 be adversely affected by their interactions with other invaders. Using a
 unique reciprocal host-parasite relationship between a bitterling fish,
 Rhodeus amarus, and unionid mussels, we show that an invasive mussel
 reverses the roles in the relationship. Bitterling lay their eggs into
 mussel gills, and mussel larvae parasitize fish. Bitterling recently
 colonized Europe and parasitize all sympatric European mussels, but are
 unable to utilize a recently invasive mussel, Anodonta woodiana. The
 parasitic larvae of A. woodiana successfully develop on R. amarus, while
 larvae of European mussels are rejected by bitterling. This demonstrates
 that invading species may temporarily benefit from a coevolutionary lag by
 exploiting evolutionarily naïve hosts, but the resulting relaxed selection
 may facilitate its exploitation by subsequent invading species, leading to
 unexpected consequences for established interspecific relationships.

title: Data from: Climatic conditions produce contrasting influences on demographic traits in a long distance Arctic migrant

description: The manner in which patterns of variation and interactions among
 demographic rates contribute to population growth rate (λ) is key to
 understanding how animal populations will respond to changing climatic
 conditions. Migratory species are likely to be particularly sensitive to
 climatic conditions as they experience a range of different environments
 throughout their annual cycle. However, few studies have provided fully
 integrated demographic analyses of migratory populations in response to
 changing climatic conditions. Here, we employed integrated population
 models to demonstrate that the environmental conditions experienced during
 a short but critical period play a central role in the demography of a
 long-distance migrant, the light-bellied Brent goose (Branta bernicla
 hrota). Female survival was positively associated with June North Atlantic
 Oscillation (NAO) values, whereas male survival was not. In contrast,
 breeding productivity was negatively associated with June NAO, suggesting
 a trade-off between female survival and reproductive success. Both adult
 female and adult male survival showed low temporal variation, whereas
 there was high temporal variation in recruitment and breeding
 productivity. In addition, while annual population growth was positively
 correlated with annual breeding productivity, a sensitivity analysis
 revealed that population growth was most sensitive to changes in adult
 survival. Our results demonstrate that the environmental conditions
 experienced during a relatively short-time window at the start of the
 breeding season play a critical role in shaping the demography of a
 long-distant Arctic migrant. Crucially, different demographic rates
 responded in opposing directions to climatic variation, emphasising the
 need for integrated analysis of multiple demographic traits when
 understanding population dynamics.

title: Data from: Phylogenetic eigenvectors and non-stationarity in the evolution of theropod dinosaur skulls

description: Despite the longstanding interest in non-stationarity of both phenotypic
 evolution and diversification rates, only recently have methods been
 developed to study this property. Here, we propose a methodological
 expansion of the Phylogenetic Signal Representation (PSR) curve based on
 phylogenetic eigenvectors to test for non-stationarity. The PSR is built
 by plotting the coefficients of determination R2 from Phylogenetic
 Eigenvector Regression (PVR) models increasing the number of phylogenetic
 eigenvectors against the accumulated eigenvalues. The PSR curve is linear
 under a stationary model of trait evolution (i.e., the Brownian motion
 model). Here we describe the distribution of shifts in the models R2 and
 used a randomization procedure to compare observed and simulated shifts
 along the PSR curve, which allowed detecting non-stationarity in trait
 evolution. As an applied example, we show that the main evolutionary
 pattern of variation in the theropod dinosaur skull was non-stationary,
 with a significant shift in evolutionary rates in derived oviraptorosaurs,
 an aberrant group of mostly toothless, crested, bird-like theropods. This
 result is also supported by a recently proposed Bayesian-based method
 (AUTEUR). A significant deviation between Ceratosaurus and Limusaurus
 terminal branches was also detected. We purport that our new approach is a
 valuable tool for evolutionary biologists, owing to its simplicity,
 flexibility and comprehensiveness.

title: Data from: Systematic review and network meta-analysis comparing antithrombotic agents for the prevention of stroke and major bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation

description: Objective: To examine the comparative efficacy and safety of
 antithrombotic treatments (apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, rivaroxaban and
 vitamin K antagonists (VKA) at a standard adjusted dose (target
 international normalised ratio 2.0–3.0), acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), ASA
 and clopidogrel) for non-valvular atrial fibrillation and among
 subpopulations. Design: Systematic review and network meta-analysis. Data
 sources: A systematic literature search strategy was designed and carried
 out using MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials and
 the grey literature including the websites of regulatory agencies and
 health technology assessment organisations for trials published in English
 from 1988 to January 2014. Eligibility criteria for selecting studies:
 Randomised controlled trials were selected for inclusion if they were
 published in English, included at least one antithrombotic treatment and
 involved patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation eligible to
 receive anticoagulant therapy. Results: For stroke or systemic embolism,
 dabigatran 150 mg and apixaban twice daily were associated with reductions
 relative to standard adjusted dose VKA, whereas low-dose ASA and the
 combination of clopidogrel plus low-dose ASA were associated with
 increases. Absolute risk reductions ranged from 6 fewer events per 1000
 patients treated for dabigatran 150 mg twice daily to 15 more events for
 clopidogrel plus ASA. For major bleeding, edoxaban 30 mg daily, apixaban,
 edoxaban 60 mg daily and dabigatran 110 mg twice daily were associated
 with reductions compared to standard adjusted dose VKA. Absolute risk
 reductions with these agents ranged from 18 fewer per 1000 patients
 treated each year for edoxaban 30 mg daily to 24 more for medium dose ASA.
 Conclusions: Compared with standard adjusted dose VKA, new oral
 anticoagulants were associated with modest reductions in the absolute risk
 of stroke and major bleeding. People on antiplatelet drugs experienced
 more strokes compared with anticoagulant drugs without any reduction in
 bleeding risk. To fully elucidate the comparative benefits and harms of
 antithrombotic agents across the various subpopulations, rigorously
 conducted comparative studies or network meta-regression analyses of
 patient-level data are required.

title: Data from: Synergistic selection regimens drive the evolution of display complexity in birds of paradise

description: 1. Integrated visual displays that combine gesture with color are nearly
 ubiquitous in the animal world, where they evolve in response to sexual
 selection for their role in courtship and competition. However, few
 studies examine how multiple selection regimens shape each component of
 these complex phenotypes on a macroevolutionary scale. 2. Here we study
 this issue by assessing how both sexual and ecological selection work
 together to influence visual display complexity in the birds of paradise.
 3. We first find that sexual dichromatism is highest in lekking species,
 which undergo more intense sexual selection by female choice than
 non-lekking species. Meanwhile, species in which males directly compete
 with one another at communal display courts have more carotenoid-based
 ornaments and fewer melanin ornaments. 4. Meanwhile, display habitat
 influences gestural complexity. Species that dance in the cluttered
 understory have more complex dances than canopy-displaying species. 5.
 Taken together, our results illustrate how distinct selection regimens
 each operate on individual elements comprising a complex display. This
 supports a modular model of display evolution, wherein the ultimate
 integrated display is the product of synergy between multiple factors that
 select for different types of phenotypic complexity.

title: Data from: Functional responses of an apex predator and a mesopredator to an invading ungulate: Dingoes, red foxes and sambar deer in south-east Australia

description: Biological invasions by large herbivores involve the establishment of
 novel interactions with the receiving mammalian carnivore community, but
 understanding these interactions is difficult due to the large
 spatiotemporal scales at which such dynamics would occur. We quantified
 the functional responses of a native apex predator (the dingo (Canis
 familiaris), which includes wild dogs and their hybrids) and a non-native
 mesopredator (red fox; Vulpes vulpes) to an invading non-native ungulate
 (sambar deer; Cervus unicolor) in Australia. We predicted that the apex
 predator would exhibit a stronger functional response to increasing sambar
 deer abundance than the mesopredator. We used a state–space model to link
 two 30-year time series: (i) sambar deer abundance (hunter
 catch-per-unit-effort); and (ii) percentages of sambar deer in dingo (N =
 4531) and fox (N = 5002) scats. Sambar deer abundance increased over
 fourfold during 1984–2013. The percentages of sambar deer in dingo and fox
 scats increased during this 30-year period, from nil in both species in
 1984 to 8.2% in dingoes and 0.5% in foxes in 2013. Dingoes exhibited a
 much stronger functional response to increasing sambar deer abundance than
 foxes. The prediction that invading deer would be utilized more by the
 apex predator than by the mesopredator was therefore supported. The
 increasing abundance of sambar deer during the period 1984–2013 provided
 an increasingly important food source for dingoes. In contrast, the
 smaller red fox utilized sambar deer much less. Our study demonstrates
 that prey enrichment can be an important consequence of large herbivore
 invasions and that the effect varies predictably with the trophic position
 of the mammalian carnivores in the receiving community.

title: Data from: Should we sync? Seascape-level genetic and ecological factors determine seagrass flowering patterns

description: Spatial and temporal heterogeneity in flowering occur in many plant
 species with abiotic pollination and may confer fitness advantages through
 mechanisms such as predator satiation or pollination efficiency.
 Environmental factors such as light quality or quantity and temperature
 play an important role in inducing synchronisation on wide geographic
 scales. On a smaller geographic scale, external factors such as resource
 availability and herbivory are theorised to trigger flowering, while
 genetic factors may also play an important role. In this study, we
 assessed the importance of ecological and genetic factors in shaping
 seascape-level spatial heterogeneity in flowering of the seagrass
 Posidonia oceanica. By investigating spatially close sites (&lt;20 km)
 with similar seascape configurations and depth, we assume that major
 environmental drivers (temperature and light) were equivalent. We assessed
 four ecological factors (productivity, leaf nitrogen and carbon content
 and herbivory) and three genetic factors (heterozygosity, relatedness and
 clonality) to assess three hypotheses for synchronised flowering in P.
 oceanica: (1) clone synchronisation (internal clock hypothesis), (2)
 variation in nutrient availability, potentially caused by spatial
 heterogeneity in herbivory rates or nutrient translocation via clonal
 integration (resource budget hypothesis) or (3) kin selection and sibling
 synchronisation. Internal relatedness and heterozygosity had a significant
 positive effect on the abundance of flowers. Moreover, productivity and
 genotypic richness (clonality) were negatively associated with flower
 density, although at a lower level of significance. In addition we found
 that clones were almost exclusively shared among mass-flowering patches
 and patches without mass-flowering, respectively. Synthesis. The results
 shed new light on seagrass flowering patterns and on the mechanisms of
 flower synchronisation at the patch level within a wider spatial scale. We
 found support for the kin selection hypothesis and indirect evidence for
 the resource budget hypothesis. Thus a combination of mainly genetic but
 also ecological factors causes the observed heterogeneous flowering
 patterns in Posidonia oceanica seascapes. In addition, we found a strong
 positive relationship between the number of flowers and heterozygosity,
 adding evidence to the controversial association between heterozygosity
 and fitness when a limited number of loci are used. To our knowledge, this
 study is the first to link both ecological and genetic factors with flower
 abundance in a species with a presumed masting strategy.

title: Data from: Sexual deception in a cannibalistic mating system? testing the Femme Fatale hypothesis

description: Animal communication theory holds that in order to be evolutionarily
 stable, signals must be honest on average, but significant dishonesty
 (i.e. deception) by a subset of the population may also evolve. A typical
 praying mantid mating system involves active mate searching by males,
 which is guided by airborne sex pheromones in most species for which
 mate-searching cues have been studied. The Femme Fatale hypothesis
 suggests that female mantids may be selected to exploit conspecific males
 as prey if they benefit nutritionally from cannibalism. Such a benefit
 exists in the false garden mantid Pseudomantis albofimbriata—females use
 the resources gained from male consumption to significantly increase their
 body condition and reproductive output. This study aimed to examine the
 potential for chemical deception among the subset of females most likely
 to benefit from cannibalism (poorly fed females). Females were placed into
 one of four feeding treatments (‘Very Poor’, ‘Poor’, ‘Medium’ and ‘Good’),
 and males were given the opportunity to choose between visually obscured
 females in each of the treatments. Female body condition and fecundity
 varied linearly with food quantity; however, female attractiveness did
 not. That is, Very Poor females attracted significantly more males than
 any of the other female treatments, even though these females were in
 significantly poorer condition, less fecund (in this study) and more
 likely to cannibalise (in a previous study). In addition, there was a
 positive correlation between fecundity and attractiveness if Very Poor
 females were removed from the analysis, suggesting an inherently honest
 signalling system with a subset of dishonest individuals. This is the
 first empirical study to provide evidence of sexual deception via chemical
 cues, and the first to provide support for the Femme Fatale hypothesis.

title: Data from: Differences in offspring size predict the direction of isolation asymmetry between populations of a placental fish

description: Crosses between populations or species often display an asymmetry in the
 fitness of reciprocal F1 hybrids. This pattern, referred to as isolation
 asymmetry or Darwin’s Corollary to Haldane’s rule, has been observed in
 taxa from plants to vertebrates, yet we still know little about which
 factors determine its magnitude and direction. Here we show that
 differences in offspring size predict the direction of isolation asymmetry
 observed in crosses between populations of a placental fish, Heterandria
 formosa. In crosses between populations with differences in offspring
 size, high rates of hybrid inviability occur only when the mother is from
 a population characterized by small offspring. Crosses between populations
 that display similarly sized offspring, whether large or small, do not
 result in high levels of hybrid inviability in either direction. We
 suggest this asymmetric pattern of reproductive isolation is due to a
 disruption of parent-offspring coadaptation that emerges from selection
 for differently sized offspring in different populations.
description: Data from reciprocal
 hybrid crossesThe file “Data from
 reciprocal hybrid crosses” provides data on the number of full term and
