title: Data from: Predicted 2100 climate scenarios affects growth and skeletal development of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) larvae

description: Climate changes driven by greenhouse gas emissions have been occurring in
 an accelerated degree, affecting environmental dynamics and living beings.
 Among all affected biomes, the Amazon is particularly subjected to adverse
 impacts, such as temperature rises and water acidification. This study
 aimed to evaluate the impacts of predicted climate change on initial
 growth and development of an important Amazonian food fish, the tambaqui.
 We analyzed growth performance, and monitored the initial osteogenic
 process and the emergence of skeletal anomalies, when larvae were exposed
 to three climate change scenarios: mild (B1, increase of 1.8 °C, 200 ppm
 of CO2); moderate (A1B, 2.8 °C, 400 ppm of CO2); and drastic (A2, 3.4 °C,
 850 ppm of CO2 ), in addition to a control room that simulated the current
 climatic conditions of a pristine tropical forest . The exposure to
 climate change scenarios (B1, A1B and A2) resulted in low survival,
 especially for the animals exposed to A2, (24.7 ± 1.0 %). Zootechnical
 performance under the B1 and A1B scenarios was higher when compared to
 current and A2, except for condition factor, which was higher in current
 (2.64 ± 0.09) and A1B (2.41 ± 0.14) scenarios. However, skeletal analysis
 revealed higher incidences of abnormalities in larvae exposed to A1B
 (34.82 %) and A2 (39.91 %) scenarios when compared to current (15.38 %).
 Furthermore, the bone-staining process revealed that after 16 days
 post-hatch (7.8 ± 0.01 mm total length), skeletal structures were still
 cartilaginous, showing no mineralization in all scenarios. We concluded
 that tambaqui larvae are well-adapted to high temperatures and may survive
 mild climate change . However, facing more severe climate conditions, its
 initial development may be compromised, resulting in high mortality rates
 and increased incidence of skeletal anomalies, giving evidence that global
 climate change will hamper tambaqui larvae growth and skeletal ontogeny.

title: Data from: Willing or unwilling to share primary biodiversity data: results and implications of an international survey

description: Biodiversity science and conservation increasingly depend on the sharing
 and integration of large amounts of data, but many researchers resist
 sharing their primary biodiversity data. We recently conducted an
 international survey to ascertain the attitudes, experiences, and
 expectations regarding biodiversity data sharing and archiving of
 researchers. The results show that whereas most respondents are willing to
 share paper-related biodiversity data, more than sixty percent of
 respondents are unwilling to share primary data before publishing. Results
 indicate an underdeveloped culture of data sharing and several major
 technological and operational barriers. A major concern for researchers is
 appropriate benefits from data sharing. Most respondents would accept data
 archiving policies of journals. Researchers also express concerns about
 how to easily and efficiently deal with data and data quality in public
 databases. Expectations for biodiversity databases include standardization
 of data format, user-friendly data submission tools, formats for different
 types of data and coordination among databases. The survey results provide
 suggestions for improving data sharing and archiving by individual
 scientists, organizations, journals, and databases.

title: Data from: Evaluating evolutionary history in the face of high gene tree discordance in Australian Gehyra (Reptilia: Gekkonidae)

description: Species tree methods have provided improvements for estimating species
 relationships and the timing of diversification in recent radiations by
 allowing for gene tree discordance. Although gene tree discordance is
 often observed, most discordance is attributed to incomplete lineage
 sorting rather than other biological phenomena, and the causes of
 discordance are rarely investigated. We use species trees from multi-locus
 data to estimate the species relationships, evolutionary history and
 timing of diversification among Australian Gehyra—a group renowned for
 taxonomic uncertainty and showing a large degree of gene tree discordance.
 We find support for a recent Asian origin and two major clades: a
 tropically adapted clade and an arid adapted clade, with some exceptions,
 but no support for allopatric speciation driven by chromosomal
 rearrangement in the group. Bayesian concordance analysis revealed high
 gene tree discordance and comparisons of Robinson–Foulds distances showed
 that discordance between gene trees was significantly higher than that
 generated by topological uncertainty within each gene. Analysis of gene
 tree discordance and incomplete taxon sampling revealed that gene tree
 discordance was high whether terminal taxon or gene sampling was
 maximized, indicating discordance is due to biological processes, which
 may be important in contributing to gene tree discordance in many recently
 diversified organisms.

title: Data from: Macroevolutionary consequences of profound climate change on niche evolution in marine mollusks over the past three million years

description: In order to predict the fate of biodiversity in a rapidly changing world,
 we must first understand how species adapt to new environmental
 conditions. The long-term evolutionary dynamics of species'
 physiological tolerances to differing climatic regimes remain obscure.
 Here, we unite palaeontological and neontological data to analyse whether
 species' environmental tolerances remain stable across 3 Myr of
 profound climatic changes using 10 phylogenetically, ecologically and
 developmentally diverse mollusc species from the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal
 Plains, USA. We additionally investigate whether these species' upper
 and lower thermal tolerances are constrained across this interval. We find
 that these species' environmental preferences are stable across the
 duration of their lifetimes, even when faced with significant
 environmental perturbations. The results suggest that species will respond
 to current and future warming either by altering distributions to track
 suitable habitat or, if the pace of change is too rapid, by going extinct.
 Our findings also support methods that project species' present-day
 environmental requirements to future climatic landscapes to assess
 conservation risks.

title: Data from: Local environment, not local adaptation, drives leaf-out phenology in common gardens along an elevational gradient in Acadia National Park, Maine

description: PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Climate-driven changes in phenology are
 substantially affecting ecological relationships and ecosystem processes.
 The role of variation among species has received particular attention; for
 example, variation among species’ phenological responses to climate can
 disrupt trophic interactions and can influence plant performance.
 Variation within species in phenological responses to climate, however,
 has received much less attention, despite its potential role in ecological
 interactions and local adaptation to climate change. METHODS: We
 constructed three common gardens across an elevation gradient on Cadillac
 Mountain in Acadia National Park, Maine to test population-level responses
 in leaf-out phenology in a reciprocal transplant experiment. The
 experiment included three native species: low bush blueberry (Vaccinium
 angustifolium), sheep’s laurel (Kalmia angustifolia), and three-toothed
 cinquefoil (Sibbaldiopsis tridentata). KEY RESULTS: Evidence for local
 adaptation of phenological response to temperature varied among the
 species, but was weak for all three. Rather, variation in phenological
 response to temperature appeared to be driven by local microclimate at
 each garden site and year-to-year variation in temperature. CONCLUSIONS:
 Population-level adaptations in leaf-out phenology appear to be relatively
 unimportant for these species in Acadia National Park, perhaps a
 reflection of strong genetic mixing across elevations, or weak differences
 in selection on phenological response to spring temperatures at different
 elevations. These results concur with other observational data in Acadia
 and highlight the utility of experimental approaches to understand the
 importance of annual and local site variation in affecting phenology both
 among and within plant species.

title: Data from: Claw morphometrics in monitor lizards: variable substrate and habitat use correlate to shape diversity within a predator guild

description: Numerous studies investigate morphology in the context of habitat, and
 lizards have received particular attention. Substrate usage is often
 reflected in the morphology of characters associated with locomotion, and,
 as a result, claws have become well‐studied ecomorphological traits
 linking the two. The Kimberley predator guild of Western Australia
 consists of 10 sympatric varanid species. The purpose of this study was to
 quantify claw size and shape in the guild using geometric morphometrics,
 and determine whether these features correlated with substrate use and
 habitat. Each species was assigned a Habitat/substrate group based on the
 substrate their claws interact with in their respective habitat. Claw
 morphometrics were derived for both wild caught and preserved specimens
 from museum collections, using a 2D semilandmark analysis. Claw shape
 significantly separated based on Habitat/substrate group. Varanus gouldii
 and Varanus panoptes claws were associated with sprinting and extensive
 digging. Varanus mertensi claws were for shallow excavation. The remaining
 species’ claws reflected specialization for some form of climbing, and
 differed based on substrate compliance. Varanus glauerti was best adapted
 for climbing rough sandstone, whereas Varanus scalaris and Varanus tristis
 had claws ideal for puncturing wood. Phylogenetic signal also
 significantly influenced claw shape, with Habitat/substrate group limited
 to certain clades. Positive size allometry allowed for claws to cope with
 mass increases, and shape allometry reflected a potential size limit on
 climbing. Claw morphology may facilitate niche separation within this
 trophic guild, especially when considered with body size. As these
 varanids are generalist predators, morphological traits associated with
 locomotion may be more reliable candidates for detecting niche
 partitioning than those associated directly with diet.

title: Data from: Population genetic structure and long-distance dispersal among seabird populations: implications for colony persistence

description: Dramatic local population decline brought about by anthropogenic-driven
 change is an increasingly common threat to biodiversity. Seabird life
 history traits that make them particularly vulnerable to such change,
 therefore understanding population connectivity and dispersal dynamics is
 vital for successful management. Our study used a 360 base-pair
 mitochondrial control region locus sequenced for 103 individuals and 18
 nuclear microsatellite loci genotyped for 245 individuals to investigate
 population structure in the Atlantic and Pacific populations of the
 pelagic seabird, Leach’s storm-petrel Oceanodroma leucorhoa leucorhoa.
 This species is under intense predation pressure at one regionally
 important colony on St Kilda, Scotland, where a disparity between
 population decline and predation rates hints at immigration from other
 large colonies. AMOVA, FST, ΦST and Bayesian cluster analyses revealed no
 genetic structure among Atlantic colonies (Global ΦST = -0.02 P
 &gt;0.05, Global FST = 0.003, P&gt;0.05, STRUCTURE K = 1),
 consistent with either contemporary gene flow or strong historical
 association within the ocean basin. The Pacific and Atlantic populations
 are genetically distinct (Global ΦST = 0.32 P &lt;0.0001, Global FST =
 0.04, P &lt;0.0001, STRUCTURE K = 2), but evidence for inter-ocean
 exchange was found with individual exclusion/assignment and population
 coalescent analyses. These findings highlight the importance of conserving
 multiple colonies at a number of different sites and suggest that
 management of this seabird may be best viewed at an oceanic scale.
 Moreover, our study provides an illustration of how long-distance movement
 may ameliorate the potentially deleterious impacts of localised
 environmental change, although direct measures of dispersal are still
 required to better understand this process.

title: Data from: Directed flight and optimal airspeeds: homeward-bound gulls react flexibly to wind yet fly slower than predicted

description: Birds in flight are proposed to adjust their body orientation (heading)
 and airspeed to wind conditions adaptively according to time and energy
 constraints. Airspeeds in goal-directed flight are predicted to approach
 or exceed maximum-range airspeeds, which minimize transport costs (energy
 expenditure per unit distance) and should increase in headwinds and
 crosswinds. Diagnosis of airspeed adjustment is however obscured by
 uncertainty regarding birds' goal-directions, transport costs,
 interrelations with orientation strategy and the attainability of
 predicted behaviour. To address these issues, we tested whether gulls
 minimized transport costs through adjustment of airspeed and heading to
 wind conditions during extended inbound flight over water (180–360 km) to
 their breeding colony, and introduce a methodology to assess transport
 (energy) efficiency given wind conditions. Airspeeds, heading, flight mode
 and energy expenditure were estimated using GPS tracking, accelerometer
 and wind data. Predicted flight was determined by simulating each trip
 according to maximum-range airspeeds and various orientation strategies.
 Gulls employed primarily flapping flight (93%), and negotiated crosswinds
 flexibly to exploit both high altitude tailwinds and coastal soaring
 opportunities. We demonstrate that predicted airspeeds in heavy crosswinds
 depend strongly on orientation strategy and presumed preferred direction.
 Measured airspeeds increased with headwind and crosswind similarly to
 maximum-range airspeeds based on full compensation for wind drift, yet
 remained ∼ 30% lower than predicted by all strategies, resulting in slower
 and 30–35% costlier flight. Interestingly, more energy could be saved
 through adjustment of airspeed (median 40%) than via orientation strategy
 (median 4%). Therefore, despite remarkably flexible reaction to wind at
 sea, these gulls evidently minimized neither time nor energy expenditure.
 However, airspeeds were possibly over-predicted by current aerodynamic
 models. This study emphasizes the importance of accounting for orientation
 strategy when assessing airspeed adjustments to wind and indicates that
 either the cost or adaptive ‘currency’ of extended flight among gulls may
 require revision.

title: Data from: The history of the North African mitochondrial DNA haplogroup U6 gene flow into the African, Eurasian and American continents

description: Background: Complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genome analyses have
 greatly improved the phylogeny and phylogeography of human mtDNA. Human
 mitochondrial DNA haplogroup U6 has been considered as a molecular signal
 of a Paleolithic return to North Africa of modern humans from southwestern
 Asia. Results: Using 230 complete sequences we have refined the U6
 phylogeny, and improved the phylogeographic information by the analysis of
 761 partial sequences. This approach provides chronological limits for its
 arrival to Africa, followed by its spreads there according to climatic
 fluctuations, and its secondary prehistoric and historic migrations out of
 Africa colonizing Europe, the Canary Islands and the American Continent.
 Conclusions: The U6 expansions and contractions inside Africa faithfully
 reflect the climatic fluctuations that occurred in this Continent
 affecting also the Canary Islands. Mediterranean contacts drove these
 lineages to Europe, at least since the Neolithic. In turn, the European
 colonization brought different U6 lineages throughout the American
 Continent leaving the specific sign of the colonizers origin.
