title: Data from: Comparative dental microwear of ruminant and perissodactyl molars: implications for paleodietary analysis of rare and extinct ungulate clades

description: Dental microwear analyses of ungulates and other large herbivores rely on
 correlations of diet and microwear among extant ungulates, primarily
 ruminants. Microwear is considered a ‘taxon-free’ method of paleodietary
 analysis. The properties of food are associated with causality of
 microwear, but the possibility that heritable properties of the consumer
 (tooth morphologies, masticatory dynamics, enamel mechanical properties,
 digestive physiologies) may introduce bias is not considered. Using an
 observer blind method of light microscopy, we examined the distribution of
 microwear features on the molars of eight species of ruminants and
 perissodactyls. Grazing and browsing ruminants had statistically different
 numbers of scratches forming discrete data clusters. Perissodactyls differ
 in the numbers of scratches and pits but without discrete browser and
 grazer clusters. Microwear features were distributed homogeneously across
 ruminant molars and strongly predictive of diet from the labial edge of
 the molar to the lingual edge. Microwear was heterogeneously distributed
 across perissodactyl molars with more pits on the labial edge and more
 scratches on the lingual edge. In perissodactyls, microwear sampled from
 the labial edge was strongly predictive of diet, while microwear sampled
 from other areas were not. Discriminant function analyses of microwear
 assigned individual molars to diets (browser and grazer) and clades
 (ruminant and perissodactyl) with similar success (70–73%) indicating that
 phylogeny and diet influence microwear equally. Rhino microwear was more
 sensitive to clade membership while other perissodactyl microwear was more
 sensitive to diet. Although it is not clear what heritable variables may
 phylogenetically bias dental microwear, extant ruminants may not be
 appropriate models for the microwear of other large herbivores.

title: Data from: Combined low-frequency ultrasound and urokinase-containing microbubbles in treatment of femoral artery thrombosis in a rabbit model

description: This paper aims to study the thrombolytic effect of low-frequency
 ultrasound combined with targeted urokinase-containing microbubble
 contrast agents on treatment of thrombosis in rabbit femoral artery; and
 to determine the optimal combination of parameters for achieving
 thrombolysis in this model. A biotinylated-avidin method was used to
 prepare microbubble contrast agents carrying urokinase and Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser
 (RGDS) peptides. Following femoral artery thrombosis in New Zealand white
 rabbits, microbubble contrast agents were injected intravenously, and
 ultrasonic exposure was applied. A 3 × 2 × 2 factorial table was applied
 to categorize the experimental animals based on different levels of
 combination of ultrasonic frequencies (Factor A: 1.6 MHz, 2.2 MHz, 2.8
 MHz), doses of urokinase (Factor B: 90,000 IU/Kg, 180,000 IU/Kg) and
 ultrasound exposure time (Factor C: 30 min, 60 min). A total of 72
 experimental animals were randomly divided into 12 groups (n = 6/group).
 Doppler techniques were used to assess blood flow in the distal end of the
 thrombotic femoral artery during the 120 minutes thrombolysis experiment.
 The rate of recanalization following thrombolysis was calculated, and
 thrombolytic efficacy was evaluated and compared. The thrombolytic
 recanalization rate for all experimental subjects after thrombolytic
 therapy was 68.1%. The optimal parameters for thrombolysis were determined
 to be 1) an ultrasound frequency of 2.2 MHz and 2) a 90,000 IU/kg dose of
 urokinase. Ultrasound exposure time (30 min vs. 60 min) had no significant
 effect on the thrombolytic effects. The combination of local low-frequency
 ultrasound radiation, targeted microbubbles, and thrombolytic urokinase
 induced thrombolysis of femoral artery thrombosis in a rabbit model. The
 ultrasonic frequency of 2.2 MHz and urokinase dose of 90,000 IU/kg induced
 optimal thrombolytic effects, while the application of either 30 min or 60
 min of ultrasound exposure had similar effects.

title: Data from: Genetic structuring and secondary contact in the white-chested Amazilia hummingbird species complex

description: Pleistocene climate cycles have been recognized to be a major driver of
 postglacial northward range expansion of North American bird populations.
 During glacial maxima, allopatric lineages that were reproductively
 isolated might have come into secondary contact with one another during
 expansion periods and the genetic signatures of past hybridization as a
 result of secondary contact events should produce detectable hybrid zones.
 The white-chested hummingbirds, Amazilia violiceps and A. viridifrons,
 constitute a species complex showing phenotypic similarity across its
 range. One exception is the subspecies found in the Central Depression of
 Chiapas (A. viridifrons villadai), which shares some plumage traits with
 the endemic but allopatric green-fronted populations in Oaxaca.
 Phylogenetic relationships, taxonomy and species limits among violiceps,
 viridifrons and villadai have been controversial for decades. We assessed
 genetic structure of populations and introgression in this species complex
 by analysing 95 individuals at ten nuclear microsatellites and morphology.
 Bayesian analysis yielded four clusters. However, only two clusters
 generally match previously described mtDNA haplogroups, one parental taxon
 in the south (villadai) and a cluster with two admixed taxa (viridifrons
 and violiceps) that cannot be attributed to any pure parental population.
 High genetic admixture was recorded in the violiceps/viridifrons range,
 probably as a consequence of a postglacial northern expansion of
 violiceps. Signs of admixture and gene flow between violiceps/viridifrons
 and villadai were low. Historical and contemporary migration rates and
 Approximate Bayesian computations support a scenario of divergence with
 gene flow: a Pleistocene basal split separating A. violiceps and the other
 two clades are derived from a second split (villadai and viridifrons) or
 from a merger of violiceps and villadai into viridifrons due to gene flow.

title: Data from: Seasonal variation in male alternative reproductive tactics

description: Genetic parentage analyses reveal considerable diversity in alternative
 reproductive behaviours (e.g. sneaking) in many taxa. However, little is
 known about whether these behaviours vary seasonally and between
 populations. Here, we investigate seasonal variation in male reproductive
 behaviours in a population of two-spotted gobies (Gobiusculus flavescens)
 in Norway. Male two-spotted gobies guard nests, attract females and care
 for fertilized eggs. We collected clutches and nest-guarding males early
 and late in the breeding season in artificial nests and used
 microsatellite markers to reconstruct parentage from a subset of offspring
 from each nest. We hypothesized that mating, reproductive success and
 sneaking should be more prevalent early in the breeding season when
 competition for mates among males is predicted to be higher. However,
 parentage analyses revealed similar values of mating, reproductive success
 and high frequencies of successful sneaking early (30% of nests) and late
 (27% of nests) in the season. We also found that multiple females with
 eggs in the same nest were fertilized by one or more sneaker males,
 indicating that some males in this population engage in a satellite
 strategy. We contrast our results to previous work that demonstrates low
 levels of cuckoldry in a population in Sweden. Our results demonstrate
 marked stability in both the genetic mating system and male alternative
 reproductive tactics over the breeding season. However, sneaking rates may
 vary geographically within a species, likely due to local selection
 influencing ecological factors encountered at different locations.

title: Data from: Bayesian phylogeographic inferences reveal contrasting colonization dynamics among European groundwater isopods

description: The potentially important role of northern microrefugia during postglacial
 dispersal is challenging the view of southern Europe as a refuge and
 source area of European biota. In groundwaters, large geographic ranges of
 presumably good dispersers are increasingly suspected to consist of
 assemblages of cryptic species with narrow ranges. Moreover, a large
 species range, even when confirmed by molecular evidence, tells us little
 about the spatiotemporal dynamics of dispersal. Here, we used phylogenetic
 inferences, species delineation methods and Bayesian phylogeographic
 diffusion models to test for the likelihood of postglacial colonization
 from distant refugia among five morphospecies of Proasellus (Isopoda,
 Asellidae). All morphospecies except one were monophyletic, but they
 comprised a total of 15–17 cryptic species. Three cryptic species retained
 ranges that spanned a distance &gt;650 km, similar to that of the
 nominal morphospecies. Bayesian diffusion models based on mitochondrial
 markers revealed considerable spatiotemporal heterogeneity in dispersal
 rates, suggesting that short-time dispersal windows were instrumental in
 shaping species ranges. Only one species was found to experience a recent,
 presumably postglacial, range expansion. The Jura and Alpine foothills
 probably played a major role in maintaining diversity within Proasellus in
 northern regions by acting both as diversification hotspots and
 Pleistocene refugia. Gaining insight into the spatiotemporal heterogeneity
 of dispersal rates revealed contrasting colonization dynamics among
 species that were not consistent with a global postglacial colonization of
 Europe from distant refugia.

title: Data from: Contrasting evolutionary history, anthropogenic declines and genetic contact in the northern and southern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum)

description: The white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) has a discontinuous African
 distribution, which is limited by the extent of sub-Saharan grasslands.
 The southern population (SWR) declined to its lowest number around the
 turn of the 19th century, but recovered to become the world’s most
 numerous rhinoceros. In contrast, the northern population (NWR) was common
 during much of the 20th century, declining rapidly since the 1970s, and
 now only two post-reproductive individuals remain. Despite this species’
 conservation status, it lacks a genetic assessment of its demographic
 history. We therefore sampled 232 individuals from extant and museum
 sources and analysed ten microsatellite loci and the mtDNA control region.
 Both marker types reliably partitioned the species into SWR and NWR, with
 moderate nuclear genetic diversity and only three mtDNA haplotypes for the
 species, including historic samples. We detected ancient interglacial
 demographic declines in both populations. Both populations may also have
 been affected by recent declines associated with the colonial expansion
 for the SWR, and with the much earlier Bantu migrations for the NWR.
 Finally, we detected post-divergence secondary contact between NWR and
 SWR, possibly occurring as recently as the last glacial maximum. These
 results suggest the species was subjected to regular periods of
 fragmentation and low genetic diversity, which may have been replenished
 upon secondary contact during glacial periods. The species’ current
 situation thus reflects prehistoric declines that were exacerbated by
 anthropogenic pressure associated with the rise of late Holocene
 technological advancement in Africa. Importantly, secondary contact
 suggests a potentially positive outcome for a hybrid rescue conservation
 strategy, although further genome wide data are desirable to corroborate
 these results.

title: Data from: Quantifying effects of environmental and geographical factors on patterns of genetic differentiation

description: Elucidating the factors influencing genetic differentiation is an
 important task in biology, and the relative contribution from natural
 selection and genetic drift has long been debated. In this study, we used
 a regression-based approach to simultaneously estimate the quantitative
 contributions of environmental adaptation and isolation by distance on
 genetic variation in Boechera stricta, a wild relative of Arabidopsis.
 Patterns of discrete and continuous genetic differentiation coexist within
 this species. For the discrete differentiation between two major genetic
 groups, environment has larger contribution than geography, and we also
 identified a significant environment-by-geography interaction effect.
 Elsewhere in the species range, we found a latitudinal cline of genetic
 variation reflecting only isolation by distance. To further confirm the
 effect of environmental selection on genetic divergence, we identified the
 specific environmental variables predicting local genotypes in allopatric
 and sympatric regions. Water availability was identified as the possible
 cause of differential local adaptation in both geographic regions,
 confirming the role of environmental adaptation in driving and maintaining
 genetic differentiation between the two major genetic groups. In addition,
 the environment-by-geography interaction is further confirmed by the
 finding that water availability is represented by different environmental
 factors in the allopatric and sympatric regions. In conclusion, this study
 found that geographical and environmental factors together created
 stronger and more discrete genetic differentiation than isolation by
 distance alone, which only produced a gradual, clinal pattern of genetic
 variation. These findings emphasize the importance of environmental
 selection in shaping patterns of species-wide genetic variation in the
 natural environment.

title: Data from: When the mean no longer matters: developmental diet affects behavioral variation but not population averages in the house cricket (Acheta domesticus)

description: Despite recent progress in elucidating the genetic basis for behavioral
 variation, the effects of the developmental environment on the maintenance
 and generation of behavioral variation across multiple traits remain
 poorly resolved. We investigated how nutritional status during development
 affected behavioral variation and covariance between activity in an open
 field test and response to cues of predator presence in the house cricket
 (Acheta domesticus). We provided 98 juvenile crickets with either a high
 or low quality diet during development, throughout which we measured body
 mass, activity in a modified open-field, and response to predator excreta
 twice every week for 3 weeks. Diet quality affected growth rate but not
 average activity or response to cues of predator presence, nor the
 correlation between the 2. However, repeatability (τ) in response to cues
 of predator presence was reduced by 0.24 in individuals exposed to the
 high quality diet versus the low quality diet. Larger individuals also
 increased their response to predator cues when reared on a high quality
 diet, suggesting negative feedbacks between growth rate and antipredator
 behaviors. Our results also indicate that changes in the developmental
 environment are not sufficient to collapse behavioral syndromes,
 suggesting a genetic link between activity and predator cue response in
 house crickets, and that nutritional stress early in life can lead to more
 consistent behavioral responses when individuals faced predatory threats.
 Our results demonstrate that subtle differences in the quality of the
 environment experienced early in life can influence how individuals
 negotiate behavioral and life-history trade-offs later in life.

title: Data from: Larval melanism in a geometrid moth: promoted neither by a thermal nor seasonal adaptation but desiccating environments

description: 1. Spatio-temporal variation in the degree of melanism is often considered
 in the context of thermal adaptation, melanism being advantageous under
 suboptimal thermal conditions. Yet, other mutually non-exclusive
 explanations exist. Analysis of geographical patterns combined with
 laboratory experiments on the mechanisms of morph induction helps to
 unveil the adaptive value of particular cases of polyphenism. 2. In the
 context of the thermal melanism hypothesis and seasonal adaptations, we
 explored an array of environmental factors that may affect the expression
 and performance of non-melanic vs. melanic larval morphs in different
 latitudinal populations of the facultatively bivoltine moth Chiasmia
 clathrata (Lepidoptera: Geometridae). 3. Geographic variation in larval
 coloration was independent of average temperatures experienced by the
 populations in the wild. The melanic morph was, however, more abundant in
 dry than in mesic habitats. In the laboratory, the melanic morph was
 induced especially under a high level of incident radiation but also at
 relatively high temperatures, but independently of photoperiod. Melanic
 larvae had higher growth rates and shorter development times than the
 non-melanic ones when both temperature and the level of incident radiation
 were high. 4. Our results that melanism is induced and advantageous in
 warm desiccating conditions contradict the thermal melanism hypothesis for
 this species. Neither has melanism evolved to compensate time constraints
 due to forth-coming autumn. Instead, larvae solve seasonal variation in
 the time available for growth by an elevated growth rate and a shortened
 larval period in the face of autumnal photoperiods. The phenotypic
 response to the level of incident radiation and a lack of adaptive
 adjustment of larval growth trajectories in univoltine populations
 underpin the role of deterministic environmental variation in the
 evolution of irreversible adaptive plasticity and seasonal polyphenism.
