title: Data from: Elk migration influences the risk of disease spillover in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem

description: Wildlife migrations provide important ecosystem services, but they are
 declining. Within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) some elk (Cervus
 canadensis) herds are losing migratory tendencies, which may increase
 spatiotemporal overlap between elk and livestock (domestic bison [Bison
 bison] and cattle [Bos taurus]), potentially exacerbating pathogen
 transmission risk. We combined disease, movement, demographic, and
 environmental data from eight elk herds in the GYE to examine the
 differential risk of brucellosis transmission (through aborted fetuses)
 from migrant and resident elk to livestock. For both migrants and
 residents, we found that transmission risk from elk to livestock occurred
 almost exclusively on private ranchlands as opposed to state or federal
 grazing allotments. Weather variability affected the estimated
 distribution of spillover risk from migrant elk to livestock, with a 7-12%
 increase in migrant abortions on private ranchlands during years with
 heavier snowfall. In contrast, weather variability did not affect
 spillover risk from resident elk. Migrant elk were responsible for the
 majority (68%) of disease spillover risk to livestock because they
 occurred in greater numbers than resident elk. On a per-capita basis,
 however, our analyses suggested that resident elk disproportionately
 contributed to spillover risk. In five of seven herds, we estimated that
 the per-capita spillover risk was greater from residents than from
 migrants. Averaged across herds, an individual resident elk was 23% more
 likely than an individual migrant elk to abort on private ranchlands. Our
 results demonstrate links between migration behavior, spillover risk, and
 environmental variability, and highlight the utility of integrating models
 of pathogen transmission and host movement to generate new insights about
 the role of migration in disease spillover risk. Further, they add to the
 accumulating body of evidence across taxa that suggests that migrants and
 residents should be considered separately during investigations of
 wildlife disease ecology. Finally, our findings have applied implications
 for elk and brucellosis in the GYE, and suggest that managers should
 prioritize actions that maintain spatial separation of elk and livestock
 on private ranchlands during years when snowpack persists into the risk
 period.

title: Supplemental materials for: Implementation and evaluation of an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) tool for neurology post-graduate trainees in Lusaka, Zambia

description: Introduction: Despite the high burden of neurologic disease in Zambia, a
 low-middle income sub-Saharan African country of 18 million people, there
 are currently no Zambian neurologists. We established the first neurology
 residency program in Zambia at the University of Zambia School of Medicine
 and the University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka. We evaluated the
 feasibility and effectiveness of a modified Objective Structured Clinical
 Examination (OSCE) to assess clinical skills.   Program
 Description: The neurology training program began in October 2018, and its
 3 participants completed the OSCE exercise in February 2019. The exercise
 involved using a smartphone to videotape trainees performing a physical
 examination and oral presentation in the neurology clinic. Trainees and
 neurology faculty reviewed the videos independently and assessed
 performance using a standardized rubric. The faculty and trainee then met
 in person and discussed the activity and scoring rubric. 
 Assessment & Outcomes: Three trainees completed pre- and post-OSCE
 surveys where they rated their confidence in elements of the history and
 neurological examination and provided feedback about the OSCE exercise.
 One faculty member reviewed each video and provided feedback to each
 trainee. Trainees’ average self-confidence scores improved from the pre-
 to post-OSCE survey in every category (pre-OSCE: mean score 6.84, range
 4.8-7.8, SD 0.92; post-OSCE: mean score 7.9, range 5.67-9.33, SD 0.86).
 Qualitative responses showed trainees found the OSCE helpful, routinely
 applied feedback, and would appreciate repeating OSCEs every few
 months.  Lessons Learned: This study demonstrated that OSCEs can
 be modified and successfully implemented in a resource-limited neurology
 post-graduate training program and result in improved self-confidence
 among trainees. Important modifications to the OSCE involved using
 smartphones to videotape the OSCE’s and a real patient encounter rather
 than a standardized patient. Because there are many neurology patients and
 few providers in Zambia, embedding the experience within a busy clinic day
 was practical, directly applicable, and at a lower opportunity
 cost.  Future Directions: Future work should expand use of OSCEs
 both within the Zambian neurology residency program and non-neurology
 training programs. Including additional video reviewers could add to the
 validity of clinical skills assessment. Videos created could also be used
 for remote mentorship and teaching purposes.

title: Data from: Population genomics reveal deep divergence and strong geographical structuring in the Hengduan Mountains

description: We used restriction site-associated DNA sequencing to generate 1,907
 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and four-kb of plastid sequence in
 species of the Gentiana hexaphylla complex (Gentianaceae). We performed
 genetic clustering with spatial and non-spatial models, phylogenetic
 reconstructions, and ancestral range estimation, with the aim of
 addressing the processes influencing the diversification of G. hexaphylla
 in the HM. Here, the SNP data and plastid sequence alignments are
 provided.
description: For RAD library construction and sequencing (Miller, Dunham,
 Amores, Cresko, & Johnson, 2007), each sample was digested with
 the restriction enzyme <em>EcoR</em>I followed by ligation of
 the P1 adapter by T4 ligase. Fragments were pooled, randomly sheared and
 size-selected to 350–550 bp. A second adapter (P2) was then ligated. The
 ligation products were purified and PCR-amplified, followed by gel
 purification and size selection for fragments in the range of 350–550 bp.
 Paired-end reads 150 bp in length were generated using the Illumina
 Novaseq 6000 (Tianjin, China). Raw reads were filtered
 and trimmed with Trimmomatic v0.32 (Bolger, Lohse & Usadel, 2014)
 with default parameters to remove adaptor sequences and low-quality reads
 and sites, and then checked for quality with FastQC v0.11.2. We used
 Stacks v2.0 (Catchen, Amores, Hohenlohe, Cresko, & Postlethwait,
 2011; Catchen, Hohenlohe, Bassham, Amores, & Cresko, 2013) to
 identify orthologous loci across individuals. Clean sequences were
 <em>de novo</em> assembled using
 <em>denovo_map</em>, with a minimum stack depth of three (m =
 3), and we allowed a range of different mismatches between stacks within
 and between individuals (M = n = 2, 3 or 4). At least 75% of individuals
 in a population were required to retain a locus (-r 0.75), and SNPs
 identified in all individuals with minor allele frequency (MAF) less than
 5% were removed (--min-maf 0.05). SNPs with missing frequency of less than
 fifty percent among individuals (--max-missing 0.5) were retained using
 vcftools version 0.1.13 (Danecek et al., 2011). Linkage-disequilibrium
 (LD) SNP pruning was performed in vcftools to exclude variants from each
 pair closer than 100 bp (--thin 100). Heterogeneous loci were filtered out
 in TASSEL 5 (Bradbury et al., 2007) to exclude SNPs originating from
 different paralogs. To obtain plastid sequences of each
 sample, clean reads were assembled using the GetOrganelle pipeline (Jin et
 al., 2018) with default parameters. We used the published plastome of
 <em>G. hexaphylla</em> (MG192305) (Sun et al., 2018) as the
 reference.  Sequences were aligned using MAFFT (Katoh, Misawa, Kuma,
 & Miyata, 2002)

title: Genomics of population differentiation in humpback dolphins, Sousa spp. in the Indo-Pacific Ocean

description: Speciation is a fundamental process in evolution and crucial to the
 formation of biodiversity. It is a continuous and complex process, which
 can involve multiple interacting barriers leading to heterogeneous genomic
 landscapes with various peaks of divergence among populations. In this
 study, we used a population genomics approach to gain insights on the
 speciation process and to understand the population structure within the
 genus Sousa across its distribution in the Indo-Pacifc region. We found 5
 distinct clusters, corresponding to S. plumbea along the eastern African
 coast and the Arabian Sea, the Bangladesh population, S. chinensis off
 Thailand and S. sahulensis off Australian waters. We suggest that the high
 level of differentiation found, even across geographically close areas, is
 likely determined by different oceanographic features such as sea surface
 temperature and primary productivity.

title: Data from: Infrared antenna-like structures in mammalian fur

description: Mammalian fur is a highly adaptable structure, with a broad range of
 well-documented functions. Many small animals, including shrews, most
 rodents, and some marsupials, have fur composed of at least four types of
 hair, all with distinctive and complex anatomy. A ubiquitous and
 unexplained feature is periodic, internal banding with spacing in the 6–12
 μm range that hints at an underlying infrared function. One bristle-like
 form, called guard hair, has the correct shape and internal periodic
 patterns to function as an infrared antenna. Optical analysis of guard
 hair from rodents, shrews and antechinus shows precise tuning to the
 optimum wavelength for thermal imaging. An infrared sensory capability,
 that provides all-round infrared threat-warning, could explain why common
 predators of rodents, such as, small cats, snakes and owls have
 adaptations to conceal their infrared emission. There are many other
 well-recognised infrared sensors in members of the Reptilia, Insecta,
 Arachnida, and Mammalia Classes. Such hair structures are not present in
 bats (aerial predator) and moles (subterranean). Preliminary evidence
 suggests that wild mice and rats react to infrared sources, but further
 experimental evidence is required to confirm these results. The tools
 developed in this work may enable us to understand the other hair-types
 and their evolution.
description: The data set contains anatomical data for hair types from rodent,
 shrew and antechinus fur to build evidence that these are infrared
 sensors. The data was measured on a microscope and there was no processing
 apart from scaling. The data also includes details of numerical
 calculations on the sensor performance with detailed description of how
 the calculations were performed. The .wmv file is a
 video compilation of filming clips from the Leonardo Merlin thermal
 imaging camera. The video can be played on any system that can read WMV
 files.

title: Vertical niche and elevation range size in tropical ants: implications for climate resilience

description: Aim: We propose that forest trees create a vertical dimension for
 ecological niche variation that generates different regimes of climatic
 exposure, which in turn drives species elevation distributions. We test
 this hypothesis by statistically modelling the vertical and elevation
 distributions and microclimate exposure of rainforest ants. 
 Location: Wet Tropics Bioregion, Australia Methods: We conducted 60
 ground-to-canopy surveys to determine the vertical (tree) and elevation
 distributions, and microclimate exposure of ants (101 species) at 15 sites
 along four mountain ranges. We statistically modelled elevation range size
 as a function of ant species’ vertical niche breadth and exposure to
 temperature variance for 55 species found at two or more trees. 
 Results: We found a positive association between vertical niche and
 elevation range of ant species: for every 3 m increase in vertical niche
 breadth our models predict a ~150% increase in mean elevation range size.
 Temperature variance increased with vertical height along the arboreal
 gradient and ant species exposure to temperature variance explained some
 of the variation in elevation range size. Main Conclusions: We demonstrate
 that arboreal ants have broader elevation ranges than ground-dwelling ants
 and are likely to have increased resilience to climatic variance. The
 capacity of species to expand their niche by climbing trees could
 influence their ability to persist over broader elevation ranges. We
 propose that wherever vertical layering exists - from oceans to forest
 ecosystems - vertical niche breadth is a potential mechanism driving
 macrogeographic distribution patterns and resilience to climate change.

title: Data from: Predator size affects the intensity of mutual interference in a predatory mirid

description: Interference competition occurs when access to an available resource is
 negatively affected by interactions with other individuals, where mutual
 interference involves individuals of the same species. The interactive
 phenomena among individuals may be size-dependent, since body size is a
 major factor that may alter prey consumption rates and ultimately the
 dynamics and structure of food webs. A study was initiated in
 order to evaluate the effect of mutual interference in the prey-specific
 attack rates and handling times of same size class predators,
 incorporating variation in consumer size. For this purpose, laboratory
 functional response experiments were conducted using same age predators,
 i.e. newly hatched (first instar) or mature (fifth instar) nymphs of the
 polyphagous mirid predator Macrolophus pygmaeus preying on Ephestia
 kuehniella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) eggs. The experiments involved four
 predator density treatments, i.e. one, two, three or four predators of
 same age, i.e. either first or fifth instar nymphs, which were exposed to
 several prey densities. The Crowley-Martin model, which allows for
 interference competition between foraging predators, was used to fit the
 data. The results showed that mutual interference between predator’s
 nymphs may occur that affect their foraging efficiency. The values of the
 attack rate coefficient were dependent on the predator density and for the
 first instar nymphs was significantly lower at the highest predator
 density than the lower predator densities, whereas for the fifth instar
 nymphs in all density treatments was significantly lower to that of the
 individual foragers’ ones. These results indicate that mutual interference
 is more intense for larger predators and is more obvious at low prey
 densities where the competition level is higher. The wider use of
 predator-dependent functional response models will help towards a
 mechanistic understanding of intraspecific interactions and its
 consequences on the stability and structure of food webs.

title: Spatial plant-plant associations from a Mediterranean grassland and associated analyses

description: This dataset contains data documenting plant spatial patterns in a
 Mediterranean grassland (la Crau, France) along a grazing and nutrient
 enrichment gradient, along with accessory data documenting soil
 characteristics. It has been used to compute spatial association networks

title: Investment in chemical signalling glands facilitates the evolution of sociality in lizards

description: The evolution of sociality and traits that correlate with, or predict,
 sociality, have been the focus of considerable recent study. In order to
 reduce the social conflict that ultimately comes with group living, and
 foster social tolerance, individuals need reliable information about group
 members and potential rivals. Chemical signals are one such source of
 information and are widely used in many animal taxa, including lizards.
 Here, we take a phylogenetic comparative approach to test the hypothesis
 that social grouping correlates with investment in chemical signalling. We
 used the presence of epidermal glands as a proxy of chemical investment
 and considered social grouping as the occurrence of social groups
 containing both adults and juveniles. Based on a dataset of 911 lizard
 species, our models strongly supported correlated evolution between social
 grouping and chemical signalling glands. The rate of transition towards
 social grouping from a background of ‘epidermal glands present’ was an
 order of a magnitude higher than from a background of ‘no epidermal
 glands’. Our results highlight the potential importance of chemical
 signalling during the evolution of sociality and the need for more focused
 studies on the role of chemical communication in facilitating information
 transfer about individual and group identity, and ameliorating social
 conflict.

title: Hearing sensitivity and amplitude coding in bats are differentially shaped by echolocation calls and social calls

description: Differences in auditory perception between species are influenced by
 phylogenetic origin and the perceptual challenges imposed by the natural
 environment, e.g. detecting prey- or predator-generated sounds and
 communication signals. Bats are well suited for comparative studies on
 auditory perception since they predominantly rely on echolocation to
 perceive the world, while their social calls and most environmental sounds
 have low frequencies. We tested if hearing sensitivity and stimulus level
 coding in bats differ between high and low frequency ranges by measuring
 auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) of 86 bats belonging to 11 species. In
 most species, auditory sensitivity was equally good at both high and low
 frequency ranges, while amplitude was more finely coded for higher
 frequency ranges. Additionally, we conducted a phylogenetic comparative
 analysis by combining our ABR data with published data on 27 species.
 Species-specific peaks in hearing sensitivity correlated with peak
 frequencies of echolocation calls and pup isolation calls, suggesting that
 changes in hearing sensitivity evolved in response to frequency changes of
 echolocation and social calls. Overall, our study provides the most
 comprehensive comparative assessment of bat hearing capacities to date and
 highlights the evolutionary pressures acting on their sensory perception.
