title: Data from: Metabolic syndrome is a strong risk factor for minor ischemic stroke and subsequent vascular events

description: Background Minor ischemic stroke (MIS) represents a major global public
 health problem worldwide due to high incidence. The aim of this study was
 to investigate whether metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a strong risk for MIS
 and subsequent vascular events (SVE). Methods A retrospective cohort study
 was performed examining symptomatic MIS in a Chinese neurologic outpatient
 population aged over 25 years without history of stroke. MetS was defined
 using the International Diabetes Federation criteria. MIS was diagnosed by
 magnetic resonance imaging-diffusion weighted images or fluid-attenuated
 inversion recovery. Results Of 1361 outpatients, a total of 753 (55.3%)
 patients were diagnosed with MIS; of them, 80% had a score of 0 using the
 MIS had a 0 score on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale. Among
 these, 303 (40.2%) individuals with MIS were diagnosed with MetS.
 Diagnosed of MIS with MetS significantly correlated with abdominal obesity
 (30.7% v.s 18.0%), hypertension (91.1% v.s 81.6%), increased blood glucose
 (6.9±2.4 v.s 5.0±0.4), dyslipidemia (78.2% v.s 48.2%), and SVE (50.5% v.s
 11.3%) when compared with the controls group. On adjusted analysis, the
 risk of SVE was also significantly associated with three additional MetS
 criterion (RR,9.0; 95% CI, 5.677–14.46). Using Cox proportional analysis,
 risk of SVE in patient with MIS was significantly associated with MetS
 (RR, 3.3; 95% CI, 1.799–6.210), older age (RR, 1.0; 95% CI, 1.001–1.048),
 and high blood glucose (RR,1.1; 95%CI, 1.007–1.187). Conclusions The MetS
 is a strong risk factor for MIS, and patients presenting with MIS and MetS
 are at a high risk of SVE. Further studies are required to determine the
 improvement of Mets prevention in the reduction of MIS and SVE.

title: Data from: Herbivore-induced changes in flower scent and morphology affect the structure of flower–visitor networks but not plant reproduction

description: Herbivory induces various responses in plants, thus altering the plants’
 phenotype in chemical and morphological traits. Herbivore-induced changes
 in vegetative plant parts, plant-physiological mechanisms, and effects on
 plant-animal interactions have been intensively studied from species to
 community level. In contrast, we are just beginning to examine
 herbivore-induced effects on reproductive plant parts and flower–visitor
 interactions, especially in a community context. We investigated the
 effect of herbivory at different plant developmental stages on plant
 growth, floral and vegetative phenotype and reproduction in Sinapis
 arvensis (Brassicaceae). Additionally, we tested how herbivore-induced
 plant responses affect flower–visitor interactions and plant reproduction
 in species-rich communities. Our results indicate that the timing of
 herbivory affects the magnitude of changes in plant traits. Herbivory in
 early but not in late development accelerated the plant's flowering
 phenology, reduced vegetative growth, increased stem trichome density and
 altered floral morphology and scent. These findings suggest age-dependent
 tradeoffs between growth, defense and reproduction. Herbivore-induced
 changes in flower traits also affected flower–visitor interactions in a
 community context with effects on the structure of flower–visitor
 networks. However, changes in the network structure had neglectable
 effects on plant reproduction, i.e. plants were able to compensate altered
 flower visitor behavior. Thus, herbivory is a source of intraspecific
 variation in reproductive traits, which can be behaviorally relevant for
 potential pollinators. However, plants were capable to maintain
 reproductive success suggesting a tolerance against herbivory. We conclude
 that in our study system induced direct or indirect defenses that have
 often been shown to decrease negative effects of herbivores on vegetative
 plant parts come at no costs for plant reproduction.

title: Data from: Fluff-thieving birds sabotage seed dispersal

description: Characterizing many species interactions as mutualisms can be misleading
 because some members of the interaction derive greater fitness benefits at
 the expense of other members. We provide detailed natural history data on
 a suspected bird–plant mutualism in South Africa where many species of
 birds use fluffy Eriocephalus seed material to construct their nests,
 potentially dispersing seeds for the plant. We focus on a common bird,
 Prinia maculosa, which invests heavily in gathering Eriocephalus material.
 Prinias spent 5 of their median 6-day nest construction period adding seed
 material to their nests and frequently travelled outside their territory
 boundary to gather Eriocephalus material. Yet, prinias gathered primarily
 Eriocephalus fluff and actively avoided gathering seeds. The average
 prinia nest contained only 6.6 seeds, but contained fluff from 579 seeds.
 These data suggest that prinias provide limited dispersal benefits to
 Eriocephalus plants. By contrast, the large amounts of Eriocephalus fluff
 in prinia nests, and the effort that prinias invest in gathering it,
 suggest that prinias benefit from constructing their nests with
 Eriocephalus material. We end by outlining hypotheses for possible fitness
 benefits that Eriocephalus material could provide prinias and other birds.

title: Data from: Oligonucleotide primers for targeted amplification of single-copy nuclear genes in apocritan Hymenoptera

description: BACKGROUND: Published nucleotide sequence data from the mega-diverse
 insect order Hymenoptera (sawflies, bees, wasps, and ants) are
 taxonomically scattered and still inadequate for reconstructing a
 well-supported phylogenetic tree for the order. The analysis of
 comprehensive multiple gene data sets obtained via targeted PCR could
 provide a cost-effective solution to this problem. However,
 oligonucleotide primers for PCR amplification of nuclear genes across a
 wide range of hymenopteran species are still scarce. FINDINGS: Here we
 present a suite of degenerate oligonucleotide primer pairs for PCR
 amplification of 154 single-copy nuclear protein-coding genes from
 Hymenoptera. These primers were inferred from genome sequence data from
 nine Hymenoptera (seven species of ants, the honeybee, and the parasitoid
 wasp Nasonia vitripennis). We empirically tested a randomly chosen subset
 of these primer pairs for amplifying target genes from six Hymenoptera,
 representing the families Chrysididae, Crabronidae, Gasteruptiidae,
 Leucospidae, Pompilidae, and Stephanidae. Based on our results, we
 estimate that these primers are suitable for studying a large number of
 nuclear genes across a wide range of apocritan Hymenoptera (i.e., all
 hymenopterans with a wasp-waist) and of aculeate Hymenoptera in particular
 (i.e., apocritan wasps with stingers). CONCLUSIONS: The amplified
 nucleotide sequences are (a) with high probability from single-copy genes,
 (b) easily generated at low financial costs, especially when compared to
 phylogenomic approaches, (c) easily sequenced by means of an additionally
 provided set of sequencing primers, and (d) suitable to address a wide
 range of phylogenetic questions and to aid rapid species identification
 via barcoding, as many amplicons contain both exonic and fast-evolving
 intronic nucleotides.

title: Data from: An overlooked consequence of dietary mixing: a varied diet reduces interindividual variance in fitness

description: The determinants of diet breadth are of interest to nutritionists,
 ecologists and evolutionary biologists. A recent synthesis addressing this
 issue found conflicting evidence for the relationship between diet breadth
 and mean individual fitness. Specifically, that analysis found that whilst
 on average a mixed diet does increase mean fitness, in some instances a
 single food provides equal (or higher) fitness than a mixed diet. Critical
 to ecological and evolutionary considerations of diet, however, is not
 only average, but also variance in fitness. We combine contemporary
 meta-analytic methods with models of nutritional geometry to evaluate how
 diet affects between-individual variance in fitness within generalist
 consumers from a range of trophic levels. As predicted by nutritional
 geometry, we found that between-individual variance in fitness-related
 traits is higher on single-food than mixed-food diets. The effect was
 strong for longevity (57% higher) and reproductive traits (37%), and
 present but weaker for size-related traits (10%). Further, the effect
 became stronger as the number of available foods increased. The
 availability of multiple foods likely allows individuals with differing
 nutritional optima to customise intake, each maximising their own fitness.
 Importantly, these findings may suggest that selection on traits
 correlated with nutritional requirements is weak in heterogeneous
 nutritional environments.

title: Data from: Postpartum management of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy: a systematic review

description: Objectives Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) affect one in ten
 pregnancies and often persist postpartum when complications can occur. We
 aimed to determine the effectiveness and safety of pharmacologic
 interventions, other interventions, and different care models for
 postpartum hypertension management. Design A systematic review was
 undertaken. Nine electronic databases, including Medline, were searched
 from inception to 16/03/2017. After duplicate removal, 4,561 records were
 screened. Two authors independently selected studies, extracted study
 characteristics and data, and assessed methodological quality. Setting
 Randomised controlled trials, case-control studies, and cohort studies
 from any country and healthcare setting. Participants Postnatal women with
 HDP. Interventions Therapeutic intervention for management of
 hypertension, compared with another intervention, placebo, or no
 intervention. Primary and secondary outcome measures Outcome data were
 collected for maternal mortality and severe morbidity; systolic, diastolic
 and mean arterial blood pressure (BP) control; and safety data. Secondary
 outcome data collected included the length of postnatal hospital stay and
 laboratory values. Results 39 studies were included (n=2,901). Results
 were heterogeneous in terms of intervention, comparison and outcome
 requiring a narrative approach. There were insufficient data to recommend
 any single pharmacologic intervention. 18 studies reported calcium-channel
 blockers, vasodilators and beta-blockers lowered BP postpartum. 12 of
 these reported safety data. Limited data existed regarding management in
 the weeks following hospital discharge. Neither loop diuretics (three
 studies) nor corticosteroids (one study) produced clinical benefit.
 Uterine curettage significantly reduced BP over the first 48 hours
 postpartum (range 6-13mmHg) compared to standard care (eight studies),
 with safety data only reported by 4/8 studies. Conclusion There was
 insufficient evidence to recommend a particular BP threshold, agent, or
 model of care but three classes of antihypertensive appeared variably
 effective. Further comparative research, including robust safety data, is
 required. Curettage reduced BP, but without adequate reporting of harms,
 so cannot currently be recommended.

title: Data from: Regulation of body reserves in a hunted wader: implications for cold-weather shooting restrictions

description: 1.Severe winter weather can reduce avian energetic reserves. At such
 times, reducing disturbance, and therefore energy expenditure, through
 science-based policy is crucial to mitigating negative impacts on
 survival. 2.We examined through allometric equations the energy reserves
 of Eurasian woodcock Scolopax rusticola, a popular quarry species across
 most of Europe, in relation to time of winter, location and temperature.
 We used data from 221 dissected birds, shot in Britain in two winters
 (2013/14, 2014/15), and 1689 live birds captured during six consecutive
 winters (2010/11-2015/16). 3.Woodcock are able to store large amounts of
 energy as fat in mid-winter and increase energy reserves as night air
 temperature drops to below 0°C, provided the ground thaws during the day.
 4.In the event of cold weather in Britain, the mean potential flight
 distance of woodcock, based on mobilisable energy estimates of shot birds,
 is 860 km. If they do not move away, woodcock could withstand frozen
 conditions without feeding for a mean of six days. 5.Synthesis and
 applications. To reduce the effects of cold weather on Eurasian woodcock
 Scolopax rusticola, shooting should be restricted before energy reserves
 are depleted. Current policies vary across Europe, but our results suggest
 that restrictions should come into force sooner, after four days of
 continually frozen ground at inland sites. Restrictions should cover large
 regions and remain in operation for seven days after the end of the cold
 spell.

title: Data from: Egg shape changes at the theropod-bird transition, and a morphometric study of amniote eggs

description: The eggs of amniotes exhibit a remarkable variety of shapes, from
 spherical to elongate and from symmetrical to asymmetrical. We examine
 eggshell geometry in a diverse sample of fossil and living amniotes using
 geometric morphometrics and linear measurements. Our goal is to quantify
 patterns of morphospace occupation and shape variation in the eggs of
 recent through to Mesozoic birds (neornithe plus non-neornithe avialans),
 as well as in eggs attributed to non-avialan theropods. In most amniotes,
 eggs show significant deviation from sphericity, but departure from
 symmetry around the equatorial axis is mostly confined to theropods and
 birds. Mesozoic bird eggs differ significantly from extant bird eggs, but
 extinct Cenozoic bird eggs do not. This suggests that the range of egg
 shapes in extant birds had already been attained in the Cenozoic. We
 conclude with a discussion of possible biological factors imparting
 variation to egg shapes during their formation in the oviduct.

title: Data from: Phylogeography of var gene repertoires reveals fine-scale geospatial clustering of Plasmodium falciparum populations in a highly endemic area

description: Plasmodium falciparum malaria is a major global health problem that is
 being targeted for progressive elimination. Knowledge of local disease
 transmission patterns in endemic countries is critical to these
 elimination efforts. To investigate fine-scale patterns of malaria
 transmission, we have compared repertoires of rapidly evolving var genes
 in a highly endemic area. A total of 3680 high quality DBLα sequences were
 obtained from 68 P. falciparum isolates from ten villages spread over two
 distinct catchment areas on the north coast of Papua New Guinea (PNG).
 Modeling of the extent of var gene diversity in the two parasite
 populations predicts more than twice as many var gene alleles circulating
 within each catchment (Mugil=906; Wosera=1094) than previously recognized
 in PNG (Amele=369). In addition, there were limited levels of var gene
 sharing between populations, consistent with local parasite population
 structure. Phylogeographic analyses demonstrate that while neutrally
 evolving microsatellite markers identified population structure only at
 the catchment level, var gene repertoires reveal further fine-scale
 geospatial clustering of parasite isolates. The clustering of parasite
 isolates by village in Mugil, but not in Wosera was consistent with the
 physical and cultural isolation of the human populations in the two
 catchments. The study highlights the micro-heterogeneity of P. falciparum
 transmission in highly endemic areas and demonstrates the potential of var
 genes as markers of local patterns of parasite population structure.

title: Data from: Nutrient pollution disrupts key ecosystem functions on coral reefs

description: There is a long history of examining the impacts of nutrient pollution and
 pH on coral reefs. However, little is known about how these two stressors
 interact and influence coral reef ecosystem functioning. Using a six-week
 nutrient addition experiment, we measured the impact of elevated nitrate
 (NO3) and phosphate (PO43) on net community calcification (NCC) and net
 community production (NCP) rates of individual taxa and combined reef
 communities. Our study had four major outcomes: 1) NCC rates declined in
 response to nutrient addition in all substrate types; 2) the mixed
 community switched from net calcification to net dissolution under medium
 and high nutrient conditions; 3) nutrients augmented pH variability
 through modified photosynthesis and respiration rates; and 4) nutrients
 disrupted the relationship between NCC and aragonite saturation state
 documented in ambient conditions. These results indicate that the negative
 effect of NO3 and PO43 addition on reef calcification is likely both a
 direct physiological response to nutrients and also an indirect response
 to a shifting pH environment from altered NCP rates. Here, we show that
 nutrient pollution could make reefs more vulnerable to global changes
 associated with ocean acidification and accelerate the predicted shift
 from net accretion to net erosion.
