title: Data from: Invasive Drosophila suzukii facilitates Drosophila melanogaster infestation and sour rot outbreaks in the vineyards

description: How do invasive pests affect interactions between members of pre-existing
 agrosystems? The invasive pest Drosophila suzukii is suspected to be
 involved in the aetiology of sour rot, a grapevine disease that otherwise
 develops following Drosophila melanogaster infestation of wounded berries.
 We combined field observations with laboratory assays to disentangle the
 relative roles of both Drosophila in disease development. We observed the
 emergence of numerous D. suzukii, but no D. melanogaster flies, from
 bunches that started showing mild sour rot symptoms days after field
 collection. However, bunches that already showed severe rot symptoms in
 the field mostly contained D. melanogaster. In the laboratory, oviposition
 by D. suzukii triggered sour rot development. An independent assay showed
 the disease increased grape attractiveness to ovipositing D. melanogaster
 females. Our results suggest that in invaded vineyards, D. suzukii
 facilitates D. melanogaster infestation and, consequently, favours sour
 rot outbreaks. Rather than competing with close species, the invader
 subsequently permits their reproduction in otherwise non-accessible
 resources and may cause more frequent, or more extensive, disease
 outbreaks.

title: Data from: Reply to ‘Inconclusive evidence for rapid adaptive evolution’

description: In our study, we showed that a newly founded population of reed warblers
 in Malta had undergone a decrease in body mass through 19 years, following
 a trajectory consistent with a population ascending an adaptive peak, an
 Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process (OU). Neto et al. claim that our result is an
 artifact of including migrants in the dataset, which inflated the average
 body mass in the initial years. Controlling for possible seasonal effects
 is important, which we thank Neto et al. for pointing out. We now control
 for season in three different ways and the OU-model always fits better
 than the neutral model, further strengthening our original conclusion of
 adaptive evolution.

title: Data from: Substance P signalling in primary motor cortex facilitates motor learning in rats

description: Among the genes that are up-regulated in response to a reaching training
 in rats, Tachykinin 1 (Tac1) - a gene that encodes the neuropeptide
 Substance P (Sub P) - shows an especially strong expression. Using
 Real-Time RT-PCR, a detailed time-course of Tac1 expression could be
 defined: a significant peak occurs 7 hours after training ended at the
 first and second training session, whereas no up-regulation could be
 detected at a later time-point (sixth training session). To assess the
 physiological role of Sub P during movement acquisition, microinjections
 into the primary motor cortex (M1) contralateral to the trained paw were
 performed. When Sub P was injected before the first three sessions of a
 reaching training, effectiveness of motor learning became significantly
 increased. Injections at a time-point when rats already knew the task
 (i.e. training session ten and eleven) had no effect on reaching
 performance. Sub P injections did not influence the improvement of
 performance within a single training session, but retention of performance
 between sessions became strengthened at a very early stage (i.e. between
 baseline-training and first training session). Thus, Sub P facilitates
 motor learning in the very early phase of skill acquisition by supporting
 memory consolidation. In line with these findings, learning related
 expression of the precursor Tac1 occurs at early but not at later
 time-points during reaching training.

title: Data from: Adaptive evolution of a generalist parasitoid: implications for the effectiveness of biological control agents

description: The use of alternative hosts imposes divergent selection pressures on
 parasitoid populations. In response to selective pressures, these
 populations may follow different evolutionary trajectories. Divergent
 natural selection could promote local host adaptation in populations,
 translating into direct benefits for biological control thereby increasing
 their effectiveness on the target host. Alternatively, adaptive phenotypic
 plasticity could be favored over local adaptation in temporal and
 spatially heterogeneous environments. We investigated the existence of
 local host adaptation in Aphidius ervi, an important biological control
 agent, by examining different traits related to infectivity (preference)
 and virulence (a proxy of parasitoid fitness) on different aphid-host
 species. The results showed significant differences in parasitoid
 infectivity on their natal host compared with the non-natal hosts.
 However, parasitoids showed a similar high fitness on both natal and
 non-natal hosts, thus supporting a lack of host adaptation in these
 introduced parasitoid populations. Our results highlight the role of
 phenotypic plasticity in fitness-related traits of parasitoids enabling
 them to maximize fitness on alternative hosts. This could be used to
 increase the effectiveness of biological control. In addition, A. ervi
 females showed significant differences in infectivity and virulence across
 the tested host range, thus suggesting a possible host phylogeny effect
 for those traits.

title: Data from: Enrichment of lithum from salt lake brine by forward osmosis

description: Forward osmosis(FO) is a concentration on the nature phenomena of osmosis.
 It is nowadays considered a breakthrough technology that can be
 potentially used for concentrating solutions and suspensions. The diluted
 nature of brine restricts the treatment technologies that can be applied.
 Then, brine concentration by FO could represent a habilitating technology
 enabling the application of a wider range of treatment alternatives. The
 performance of concentrated brine depended upon FO membranes was
 investigated at normal temperature and pressure in this research.
 Cellulose triacetate on radio-frequency-weldable nonwoven support (CTA-NW)
 and a thin-film composite with embeded polyester screen support (TFC-ES)
 were compared; and their orientations were consisdered. The brine was from
 Chaerhan saltlake after extracting potassium as feed solution, NaCl
 solution or MgCl2 solution as draw solution. The results indicated that
 CTA-NW exhibited better concentrate performance than TFC-ES; while the
 water fluxes of the two membrane was exactly opposite. In case of CTA-NW
 in AL-FS(active layer facing feed solution) orientation with MgCl2 as draw
 solution, the concentration factors of Li+ was nearly 3.0. Quantitative
 structure-activity relationship (QSAR) of FO membranes and concentration
 characteristics was correlated, based on results of SEM, FT-IR, and
 contact angles studies. The concentration performance could be mainly
 attributed to the porosity and the thickness of FO membranes; while the
 water flux was depended on hydrophily of FO membrane surface.

title: Data from: Validation of a fecal glucocorticoid assay to assess adrenocortical activity in meerkats using physiological and biological stimuli

description: In mammals, glucocorticoid (i.e. GC) levels have been associated with
 specific life-history stages and transitions, reproductive strategies, and
 a plethora of behaviors. Assessment of adrenocortical activity via
 measurement of glucocorticoid metabolites in feces (FGCM) has greatly
 facilitated data collection from wild animals, due to its non-invasive
 nature, and thus has become an established tool in behavioral ecology and
 conservation biology. The aim of our study was to validate a fecal
 glucocorticoid assay for assessing adrenocortical activity in meerkats
 (Suricata suricatta), by comparing the suitability of three GC enzyme
 immunoassays (corticosterone, 11β-hydroxyetiocholanolone and
 11oxo-etiocholanolone) in detecting FGCM increases in adult males and
 females following a pharmacological challenge with adrenocorticotropic
 hormone (ACTH) and biological stimuli. In addition, we investigated the
 time course characterizing FGCM excretion, the effect of age, sex and time
 of day on FGCM levels and assessed the potential effects of soil
 contamination (sand) on FGCM patterns. Our results show that the group
 specific 11β-hydroxyetiocholanolone assay was most sensitive to FGCM
 alterations, detecting significant and most distinctive elevations in FGCM
 levels around 25 h after ACTH administration. We found no age and sex
 differences in basal FGCM or on peak response levels to ACTH, but a marked
 diurnal pattern, with FGCM levels being substantially higher in the
 morning than later during the day. Soil contamination did not
 significantly affect FGCM patterns. Our results emphasize the importance
 of conducting assay validations to characterize species-specific endocrine
 excretion patterns, a crucial step to all animal endocrinology studies
 using a non-invasive approach.

title: Data from: Trait-based scaling of temperature-dependent foliar respiration in a species-rich tropical forest canopy

description: The scarcity of empirical data on leaf respiration (R) and its temperature
 sensitivity (e.g., Q10, defined as the proportional increase in R per 10°C
 warming) causes uncertainty in current estimates of net primary
 productivity of tropical forests. We measured temperature response curves
 of R on 123 upper-canopy leaves of 28 species of trees and lianas from a
 tropical forest in Panama, and analyzed variations in R and Q10 in
 relation to other leaf functional traits. Respiration rates per leaf area
 at 25°C (RA) varied widely among species and were significantly higher in
 trees than in lianas. RA was best predicted by a multiple regression model
 containing leaf phosphorus concentration, photosynthetic capacity, and
 leaf mass per area (r2 = 0.64). The mean Q10 value (2.4) was significantly
 higher than the commonly assumed value of 2.0. Q10 was best predicted by
 the combination of leaf carbohydrate concentration and growth form (trees
 vs lianas) (r2 = 0.26). The nighttime leaf respiratory carbon flux from
 this tropical forest was calculated from these multiple regression models
 to be 4.5 Mg C ha−1 yr−1, with an estimated additional 2.9 Mg C ha−1 yr−1
 being released by respiration during the day. Trait-based modeling has
 potential for estimating R, thus facilitating carbon flux estimation in
 species-rich tropical forests. However, in contrast to global analyses,
 leaf phosphorus content was the most important correlate of R and not leaf
 nitrogen, so calibration of trait models to the tropics will be important.
 Leaf traits are poor predictors of Q10 values, and more empirical data on
 the temperature sensitivity of respiration are critically needed to
 further improve our ability to scale temperature-dependent respiration in
 species-rich tropical forests.
description: Dryad_Fig4Contains results of leaf-to-canopy scaling as shown in Fig 4 and Table 4.Leaf-level respiration measurements were made in the laboratory at different temperatures and this was used to calculate Q10 and R25 values for each leaf. These data were used along with species specific information on leaf area index and relative abundance , long-term temperature data, and information on the relationship between respiration and irradiance to model stand level annual respiration fluxes, using R for data analysis.Dryad_FigS1Contains leaf level temperature response curves of respiration, measured in the laboratory using an infra-red gas analyzer connected to a Walz temperature-controlled cuvette.

title: Data from: Agonistic character displacement in social cognition of advertisement signals

description: Interspecific aggression between sibling species may enhance
 discrimination of competitors when recognition errors are costly, but
 proximate mechanisms mediating increased discriminative ability are
 unclear. We studied behavioral and neural mechanisms underlying responses
 to conspecific and heterospecific vocalizations in Alston’s singing mouse
 (Scotinomys teguina), a species in which males sing to repel rivals. We
 performed playback experiments using males in allopatry and sympatry with
 a dominant heterospecific (Scotinomys xerampelinus) and examined
 song-evoked induction of egr-1 in the auditory system to examine how
 neural tuning modulates species-specific responses. Heterospecific songs
 elicited stronger neural responses in sympatry than in allopatry, despite
 eliciting less singing in sympatry. Our results refute the traditional
 neuroethological concept of a matched filter and instead suggest expansion
 of sensory sensitivity to mediate competitor recognition in sympatry.

title: Data from: On the architecture of mate choice decisions: preference functions and choosiness are distinct traits

description: Mate choice is an important cause of sexual selection; it can drive the
 evolution of extravagant ornaments and displays, and promote speciation
 through the reproductive isolation generated by rapid divergence of sexual
 traits. Understanding mate choice requires knowledge of the traits
 involved in generating mating preferences, and how those traits may
 interact with each other. It has been proposed that mate choice decisions
 are the outcome of two components that vary independently: the preference
 function (the ranking of the attractiveness of prospective mates) and
 choosiness (the effort invested in mate assessment). Here we test this
 hypothesis by examine individual variation in female preference functions
 and choosiness in Green Treefrogs (Hyla cinerea). We show that measures
 describing preference functions and choosiness are not correlated. We also
 show that both components are influenced differently by variation in
 female body size, and that preference function shape (closed and
 preferring intermediate values or open-ended and preferring extremes) has
 a strong influence on this relationship: function traits are positively
 correlated with body size only for individuals with closed functions,
 while choosiness is positively correlated with body size for individuals
 with open functions, but negatively for those with closed functions.

title: Data from: Silver spoon effects of hatching order in an asynchronous hatching bird

description: The silver spoon hypothesis proposes that individuals which develop under
 favourable conditions will gain fitness benefits throughout their
 lifetime. Hatching order may create a considerable size hierarchy within a
 brood and lead to earlier-hatched nestlings having a competitive advantage
 over their siblings, which has been illustrated in some studies. However,
 there have been few explorations into the effect on subsequent
 generations. Here, using a 15-year-long study, we investigated the
 long-term fitness consequence of hatching order in the endangered crested
 ibis, Nipponia nippon, a species with complete hatching asynchrony. In
 this study, we found strong support for silver spoon effects acting on
 hatching order. Compared to later-hatched nestlings, first-hatched
 nestlings begin reproduction at an earlier age, have higher adult survival
 rates, possess a longer breeding life span and achieve higher lifetime
 reproductive success. Interestingly, we found carry-over effects of
 hatching order into the next generation. Nestlings which hatched earlier
 and became breeders in turn also produced nestlings with larger tarsus and
 better body condition. Additionally, we found a positive correlation among
 life-history traits in crested ibis. Individuals which started
 reproduction at a younger age were shown to possess a longer breeding life
 span. And the annual brood size increased with an individual’s breeding
 life span. This suggests that the earlier-hatched nestlings are of better
 quality and the ‘silver spoon’ effects of hatching order cover all
 life-history stages and next generation effects.

title: Data from: Control of seminal fluid protein expression via regulatory hubs in D. melanogaster

description: Highly precise, yet flexible and responsive co-ordination of expression
 across groups of genes underpins the integrity of many vital functions.
 However, our understanding of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) is often
 hampered by the lack of experimentally tractable systems, by significant
 computational challenges derived from the large number of genes involved
 or from difficulties in the accurate identification and characterization
 of gene interactions. Here we used a tractable experimental system in
 which to study GRNs: the genes encoding the seminal fluid proteins that
 are transferred along with sperm (the 'transferome') in D.
 melanogaster fruit flies. The products of transferome genes are core
 determinants of reproductive success and, to date, only transcription
 factors have been implicated in the modulation of their expression. Hence,
 as yet, we know nothing about the post-transcriptional mechanisms
 underlying the tight, responsive and precise regulation of this important
 gene set. We investigated this omission in the current study. We first
 used bioinformatics to identify potential regulatory motifs that linked
 the transferome genes in a putative interaction network. This predicted
 the presence of putative microRNA ‘hubs’. We then tested this prediction,
 that post-transcriptional regulation is important for the control of
 transferome genes, by knocking down miRNA expression in adult males. This
 abolished the ability of males to respond adaptively to the threat of
 sexual competition, indicating a regulatory role for miRNAs in the
 regulation of transferome function. Further bioinformatics analysis then
 identified candidate miRNAs as putative regulatory hubs and evidence for
 variation in the strength of miRNA regulation across the transferome gene
 set. The results revealed regulatory mechanisms that can underpin robust,
 precise and flexible regulation of multiple fitness-related genes. They
 also help to explain how males can adaptively modulate ejaculate
 composition
