title: Data from: The snow and the willows: earlier spring snowmelt reduces performance in the low-lying alpine shrub Salix herbacea

description: Current changes in shrub abundance in alpine and arctic tundra ecosystems
 are primarily driven by climate change. However, while taller shrub
 communities are expanding, dwarf shrub communities show reductions under
 climate warming, and the mechanisms driving the latter (such as warming
 temperatures or accelerated spring snowmelt) may be complex. To determine
 and disentangle the response of a widespread arctic-alpine prostrate dwarf
 shrub to both climate warming and changes in snowmelt time, we
 investigated phenology, clonal and sexual reproduction, leaf size, wood
 tissue carbon balance and leaf damage in 480 patches of Salix herbacea,
 along its elevational and snowmelt microhabitat range over three years in
 a space-for-time substitution. Earlier snowmelt was associated with longer
 phenological development periods, an increased likelihood of herbivory and
 fungal damage, lower stem density, smaller leaves and lower end-of-season
 wood reserve carbohydrates. Furthermore, while early snowmelt was
 associated with an increased proportion of flowering stems, the proportion
 of fruiting stems was not, as fruit set decreased significantly with
 earlier snowmelt. Warmer temperatures at lower elevations were associated
 with decreases in stem number and smaller leaves. Synthesis: Our study
 indicates that phenology, fitness proxies and fungal/insect damage of the
 dwarf shrub Salix herbacea (S. herbacea) are strongly influenced by
 snowmelt timing, and that earlier spring snowmelt reduced performance in
 S. herbacea. The likely mechanisms for many of the observed patterns are
 related to adverse temperature conditions in the early growing season.
 Reductions in clonal (stem number) and sexual reproduction (reduced fruit
 set) under earlier snowmelt, in addition to increasing damage probability,
 will likely lead to lower fitness and poorer performance, particularly in
 shrubs growing in early-exposure microhabitats. Further, we saw no
 concurrent benefits of higher temperatures for S. herbacea, particularly
 as warming was associated with lower clonal growth. As growing seasons
 become warmer and longer in arctic and alpine tundra ecosystems, early
 snowmelt is a critical mechanism reducing fitness and performance in a
 widespread dwarf shrub, and may ultimately reduce dwarf shrub communities
 in tundra biomes.

title: Data from: Characterizing combined fire and insect outbreak disturbance regimes in British Columbia, Canada

description: Context: Fires and insect outbreaks are important agents of forest
 landscape change, but the classification and distribution of these
 combined processes remain unstudied aspects of forest disturbance regimes.
 Objectives: We sought to map areas of land characterized by homogenous
 fire regime (HFR) attributes and by distinctive combinations of fire, bark
 beetles and defoliating insect outbreaks, and how their distribution might
 change should current climatic trends continue. Methods: We used a 41-year
 history of mapped fires and forest insect outbreaks to classify HFRs and
 combined fire and insect disturbance regimes (HDRs). Spatially constrained
 cluster analysis of 2524 20-km grid cells used mean annual area burned,
 ignition Julian date, fire size and fire frequency to delineate HFR zones.
 Mean annual areas burned, affected by bark beetles, and affected by
 defoliators were used to delineate HDR zones. Random forests
 classification used climate associations of HDRs to project likely changes
 in their distribution. Results: Eighteen HFR zones accounted for 30% of
 variance, compared to 27 HDR zones accounting for 59% of variance. Fire
 regime designation had low predictive power in explaining 23 homogenous
 insect outbreak regimes or the 27 HDRs. Climate change projections
 indicate a northward migration of current HDR zones. Conditions suitable
 for defoliator outbreaks are projected to increase, resulting in a
 projected increase in the total rate of forest disturbance. Conclusions:
 When describing forest disturbance regimes, it is important to consider
 the combined and possibly interacting agents of tree mortality, which can
 result in emergent properties not predictable from any single agent.

title: Data from: Artificial selection for food colour preferences

description: Colour is an important factor in food detection and acquisition by animals
 using visually based foraging. Colour can be used to identify the
 suitability of a food source or improve the efficiency of food detection,
 and can even be linked to mate choice. Food colour preferences are known
 to exist, but whether these preferences are heritable and how these
 preferences evolve is unknown. Using the freshwater fish Poecilia
 reticulata, we artificially selected for chase behaviour towards two
 different-coloured moving stimuli: red and blue spots. A response to
 selection was only seen for chase behaviours towards the red, with
 realized heritabilities ranging from 0.25 to 0.30. Despite intense
 selection, no significant chase response was recorded for the
 blue-selected lines. This lack of response may be due to the
 motion-detection mechanism in the guppy visual system and may have novel
 implications for the evolvability of responses to colour-related signals.
 The behavioural response to several colours after five generations of
 selection suggests that the colour opponency system of the fish may
 regulate the response to selection.

title: Data from: A test of priority effect persistence in semi-natural grasslands through the removal of plant functional groups during community assembly

description: Background: It is known that during plant community assembly, the early
 colonizing species can affect the establishment, growth or reproductive
 success of later arriving species, often resulting in unpredictable
 assembly outcomes. These so called ‘priority effects’ have recently been
 hypothesized to work through niche-based processes, with early colonizing
 species either inhibiting the colonization of other species of the same
 niche through niche preemption, or affecting the colonization success of
 species of different niches through niche modification. With most work on
 priority effects performed in controlled, short-term mesocosm experiments,
 we have little insight in how niche preemption and niche modification
 processes interact to shape the community composition of natural
 vegetations. In this study, we used a functional trait approach to
 identify potential niche-based priority effects in restored semi-natural
 grasslands. More specifically, we imposed two treatments that strongly
 altered the community’s functional trait composition; removal of all
 graminoid species and removal of all legume species, and we compared
 progressing assembly with unaltered control plots. Results: Our results
 showed that niche preemption effects can be, to a limited extent, relieved
 by species removal. This relief was observed for competitive grasses and
 herbs, but not for smaller grassland species. Although competition effects
 acting within functional groups (niche preemption) occurred for
 graminoids, there were no such effects for legumes. The removal of legumes
 mainly affected functionally unrelated competitive species, likely through
 niche modification effects of nitrogen fixation. On the other hand, and
 contrary to our expectations, species removal was after 4 years almost
 completely compensated by recolonization of the same species set,
 suggesting that priority effects persist after species removal, possibly
 through soil legacy effects. Conclusions: Our results show that both niche
 modification and niche preemption priority effects can act together in
 shaping community composition in a natural grassland system. Although
 small changes in species composition occurred, the removal of specific
 functional groups was almost completely compensated by recolonization of
 the same species. This suggests that once certain species get established,
 it might prove difficult to neutralize their effect on assembly outcome,
 since their imposed priority effects might act long after their removal.

title: Data from: Haplotype structure, adaptive history and associations with exploratory behaviour of the DRD4 gene region in four great tit (Parus major) populations

description: The assessment of genetic architecture and selection history in genes for
 behavioural traits is fundamental to our understanding of how these traits
 evolve. The dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) gene is a prime candidate for
 explaining genetic variation in novelty seeking behaviour, a commonly
 assayed personality trait in animals. Previously we showed that a single
 nucleotide polymorphism in exon 3 of this gene is associated with
 exploratory behaviour in at least one of four Western European great tit
 (Parus major) populations. These heterogeneous association results were
 explained by potential variable linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns
 between this marker and the causal variant or by other genetic or
 environmental differences among the populations. Different adaptive
 histories are further hypothesized to have contributed to these population
 differences. Here, we genotyped 98 polymorphisms of the complete DRD4 gene
 including the flanking regions for 595 individuals of the four
 populations. We show that the LD structure, specifically around the
 original exon 3 SNP is conserved across the four populations and does not
 explain the heterogeneous association results. Study-wide significant
 associations with exploratory behaviour were detected in more than one
 haplotype block around exon 2, 3 and 4 in two of the four tested
 populations with different allele effect models. This indicates genetic
 heterogeneity in the association between multiple DRD4 polymorphisms and
 exploratory behaviour across populations. The association signals were in
 or close to regions with signatures of positive selection. We therefore
 hypothesize that variation in exploratory and other dopamine-related
 behaviour evolves locally by occasional adaptive shifts in the frequency
 of underlying genetic variants.

title: Data from: Reinforcement shapes clines in female mate discrimination in Drosophila subquinaria

description: Reinforcement of species boundaries may alter mate recognition in a way
 that also affects patterns of mate preference among conspecific
 populations. In the fly Drosophila subquinaria, females sympatric with the
 closely related species D. recens reject mating with heterospecific males
 as well as with conspecific males from allopatric populations. Here we
 assess geographic variation in behavioral isolation within and among
 populations of D. subquinaria and use cline theory to understand patterns
 of selection on reinforced discrimination and its consequences for sexual
 isolation within species. We find that selection has fixed rejection of D.
 recens males in sympatry, while significant genetic variation in this
 behavior occurs within allopatric populations. In conspecific matings
 sexual isolation is also asymmetric, and stronger in populations that are
 sympatric with D. recens. The clines in behavioral discrimination within
 and between species are similar in shape and are maintained by strong
 selection in the face of gene flow, and we show that some of their genetic
 basis may be either shared or linked. Thus, while reinforcement can drive
 extremely strong phenotypic divergence, the long-term consequences for
 incipient speciation depend on gene flow, genetic linkage of
 discrimination traits, and the cost of these behaviors in allopatry.

title: Data from: The cost of reinforcement: selection on flower color in allopatric populations of Phlox drummondii

description: Reinforcement is the process by which increased reproductive isolation
 between incipient species evolves due to selection against maladaptive
 hybrids or costly hybrid mating. Reinforcement is predicted to create a
 pattern of greater prezygotic reproductive isolation in regions where the
 two species co-occur, sympatry, than in allopatry. Although most research
 on reinforcement focuses on understanding the evolutionary forces acting
 in sympatry, here we consider what prevents the alleles conferring greater
 reproductive isolation from spreading into allopatry. We investigate
 flower color divergence in the wildflower Phlox drummondii, which is
 caused by reinforcement in the regions sympatric with its congener Phlox
 cuspidata. Specifically, we performed common garden field experiments and
 pollinator observations to estimate selection acting on flower color
 variation in allopatry. We combine our estimates of maternal and paternal
 fitness using simulations and predict how flower color alleles migrating
 from sympatry will evolve in allopatry. Our results suggest that strong
 pollinator preference for the ancestral flower color in allopatry can
 maintain divergence between allopatric and sympatric populations.

title: Data from: Ecological opportunity and sexual selection together predict adaptive radiation

description: A fundamental challenge to our understanding of biodiversity is to explain
 why some groups of species undergo adaptive radiations, diversifying
 extensively into many and varied species, while others do not. Both
 extrinsic environmental factors (e.g. resource availability, climate) and
 intrinsic lineage-specific traits (e.g. behavioural or morphological
 traits, genetic architecture) influence diversification, but few studies
 have addressed how such factors interact. Radiations of cichlid fish in
 the African great lakes provide some of the most dramatic cases of species
 diversification. However, most cichlid lineages in African lakes have not
 undergone adaptive radiations. To investigate why adaptive radiation
 occurs and does not, we compiled data on cichlid colonization and
 diversification in 46 African lakes, along with lake environmental
 features and information about the traits of colonizing cichlid lineages.
 We find that extrinsic environmental factors related to ecological
 opportunity and intrinsic lineage-specific traits related to sexual
 selection both strongly influence whether cichlids radiate. Cichlids are
 more likely to radiate in deep lakes, in regions with more incident solar
 radiation, and in lakes where there has been more time for
 diversification. Weak or negative associations between diversification and
 lake surface area indicate that cichlid speciation is not constrained by
 area, in contrast to diversification in many terrestrial taxa. Among the
 suite of intrinsic traits that we investigated, sexual dichromatism, a
 surrogate for the intensity of sexual selection, is consistently
 positively associated with diversification. Thus, for cichlids, it is the
 coincidence between ecological opportunity and sexual selection that best
 predicts whether adaptive radiation will occur. These findings suggest
 that adaptive radiation is predictable – but only when both species traits
 and environmental factors are jointly considered.

title: Data from: Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato spirochetes in wild birds in northwestern California: associations with ecological factors, bird behavior and tick infestation

description: Although Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) are found in a great
 diversity of vertebrates, most studies in North America have focused on
 the role of mammals as spirochete reservoir hosts. We investigated the
 roles of birds as hosts for subadult Ixodes pacificus ticks and potential
 reservoirs of the Lyme disease spirochete B. burgdorferi sensu stricto
 (s.s.) in northwestern California. Overall, 623 birds representing 53
 species yielded 284 I. pacificus larvae and nymphs. We used generalized
 linear models and zero-inflated negative binomial models to determine
 associations of bird behaviors, taxonomic relationships and infestation by
 I. pacificus with borrelial infection in the birds. Infection status in
 birds was best explained by taxonomic order, number of infesting nymphs,
 sampling year, and log-transformed average body weight. Presence and
 counts of larvae and nymphs could be predicted by ground- or bark-foraging
 behavior and contact with dense oak woodland. Molecular analysis yielded
 the first reported detection of Borrelia bissettii in birds. Moreover, our
 data suggest that the Golden-crowned Sparrow (Zonotrichia atricapilla), a
 non-resident species, could be an important reservoir for B. burgdorferi
 s.s. Of 12 individual birds (9 species) that carried B. burgdorferi
 s.l.-infected larvae, no birds carried the same genospecies of B.
 burgdorferi s.l. in their blood as were present in the infected larvae
 removed from them. Possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed.
 Our study is the first to explicitly incorporate both taxonomic
 relationships and behaviors as predictor variables to identify putative
 avian reservoirs of B. burgdorferi s.l. Our findings underscore the
 importance of bird behavior to explain local tick infestation and Borrelia
 infection in these animals, and suggest the potential for bird-mediated
 geographic spread of vector ticks and spirochetes in the far-western
 United States.
