title: Data from: Isodon hsiwenii (Lamiaceae: Nepetoideae), a new species from Yunnan, China

description: Isodon hsiwenii, a new species from Yunnan in Southwest China, is here
 described and illustrated. In order to clarify the phylogenetic placement
 of the new species within Isodon, Bayesian and maximum likelihood analyses
 based on two nuclear ribosomal DNA regions and four plastid DNA regions
 for 71 Asian Isodon species were conducted. The results indicate that I.
 hsiwenii is a member of the largest and poorly resolved Clade III, as
 sister species of I. hirtellus. Isodon hsiwenii can be distinguished from
 I. hirtellus by its purplish puberulent indumentum (vs. greyish-white
 hirtellous indumentum) over the entire plant, rhombic-ovate laminae with
 margins entire or coarsely serrate and bases attenuate (vs. ovate to
 broadly ovate laminae with margins crenulate or serrulate and bases not
 attenuate), and inflorescences composed of cymes in widely spaced
 verticillasters (vs. inflorescences composed of cymes in narrow panicles).

title: Data from: Optimizing Coastal Restoration with the Stress Gradient Hypothesis

description: Restoration efforts have been escalating worldwide in response to
 widespread habitat degradation. However, coastal restoration attempts
 notoriously vary in their ability to establish resilient, high-functioning
 ecosystems. Conventional restoration attempts disperse transplants in
 competition-minimizing arrays, yet recent studies suggest that clumping
 transplants to maximize facilitative, intraspecific interactions improves
 restoration success. Here, we modify the Stress Gradient Hypothesis to
 generate predictions about where each restoration design will perform best
 across environmental stress gradients. We then test the model by combining
 measurements of physical stress with a field experiment manipulating
 transplant density and configuration across coastal dune elevational zones
 and latitudes. In hurricane-damaged Georgia (USA) dunes, grass
 transplanted in competition-minimizing (low-density, dispersed) arrays
 exhibited the highest growth, resilience to disturbance, and dune
 formation in low stress conditions. In contrast, facilitation-maximizing
 (high-density, clumped) arrays exhibited the highest survivorship in high
 stress conditions. Transplant survival was significantly lower on
 Massachusetts compared to Georgia dunes, suggesting there are thresholds
 above which intraspecific facilitation cannot overcome local stressors.
 Thus, switching from competition-minimizing to facilitation-maximizing
 transplant designs with increasing environmental stress can improve
 multiple metrics of restoration success, suggesting our modified Stress
 Gradient Hypothesis offers a roadmap for how to rebuild resilient,
 high-functioning coastal ecosystems.

title: Data from: Spatial and temporal homogenization of freshwater macrofaunal communities in ditches

description: 1. There is a widespread concern that we are witnessing an on-going
 homogenization of ecological communities. However, in contrast to human
 impacts on spatial patterns in biodiversity, human impacts on the temporal
 aspects of β-diversity have received little attention. Moreover, the
 interplay between spatial and temporal β-diversity is poorly understood.
 To address this knowledge gap, we assessed dissimilarity within freshwater
 macrofaunal communities of drainage ditches to determine spatiotemporal
 β-diversity as well as homogenization in relation to different types of
 land use. 2. We considered four distinct changes in community composition:
 spatial turnover, temporal turnover, spatial variation over time and
 temporal variation in space, as well as the combined effects of space and
 time on β-diversity. As a metric of dissimilarity, we calculated the
 taxonomic Hellinger distance between samples from different locations and
 time points and correlated these with distance in space and in time, as
 well as with three spatial variables, including land use type, and two
 temporal variables. We studied the effect of interactions between spatial
 and temporal variables on dissimilarity by applying a permutational
 analysis of variance. 3. Our results illustrate the importance of changes
 in community composition in time with respect to temporal turnover,
 spatial variation over time and temporal variation in space. While we did
 not find spatial turnover in community composition, both month and year
 had a considerable effect. Within a year, β-diversity decreased over the
 months, yet these assembly patterns differed between years. This suggests
 major effects of seasonal and year-to-year dynamics on β-diversity. Land
 use was also observed to be a main driver: ditches in nature conservation
 areas had higher β-diversity and temporal heterogeneity was lowest in
 ditches adjacent to the most intensive agricultural land use category,
 indicating agricultural practices can homogenizes biodiversity in both
 space and time. 4. By analyzing the spatial and temporal β-diversity
 patterns in freshwater macrofaunal communities in concert, we have shown
 that β-diversity is a sensitive and highly informative metric of both
 spatial and temporal changes in community composition.

title: Data from: Estimating body mass of free-living whales using aerial photogrammetry and 3D volumetrics

description: 1. Body mass is a key life history trait in animals. Despite being the
 largest animals on the planet, no method currently exists to estimate body
 mass of free-living whales. 2. We combined aerial photographs and
 historical catch records to estimate the body mass of free-living right
 whales (Eubalaena sp.). First, aerial photogrammetry from unmanned aerial
 vehicles was used to measure the body length, width (lateral distance) and
 height (dorso-ventral distance) of free-living southern right whales (E.
 australis; 48 calves, 7 juveniles and 31 lactating females). From these
 data, body volume was estimated by modelling the whales as a series of
 infinitely small ellipses. The body girth of the whales was next
 calculated at three measurement sites (across the pectoral fin, the
 umbilicus and the anus) and a linear model was developed to predict body
 volume from the body girth and length data. To obtain a volume-to-mass
 conversion factor, this model was then used to estimate the body volume of
 eight lethally caught North Pacific right whales (E. japonica), for which
 body mass was measured. This conversion factor was consequently used to
 predict the body mass of the free-living whales. 3. The cross-sectional
 body shape (height-width ratio) of the whales was slightly flattened
 dorso-ventrally at the anterior end of the body, almost circular in the
 mid region, and significantly flattened in the lateral plane across the
 posterior half of the body. Compared to a circular cross-sectional model,
 our body mass model incorporating body length, width and height improved
 mass estimates by up to 23.6% (mean=6.1%, SD=5.27). Our model had a mean
 error of only 1.6% (SD=0.012), compared to 9.5% (SD=7.68) for a simpler
 body length-to-mass model. The volume-to-mass conversion factor was
 estimated at 754.63kg m-3 (SD=50.03). Predicted body mass estimates were
 within a close range of existing body mass measurements. 4. We provide a
 non-invasive method to accurately estimate body mass of free-living whales
 while accounting for both their structural size (body length) and relative
 body condition (body width). Our approach can be directly applied to other
 marine mammals by adjusting the model parameters (body mass model script
 provided).

title: Data from: Survival and recruitment dynamics of black-legged kittiwakes Rissa Tridactyla at an Alaskan colony

description: Most seabirds breed colonially and exhibit considerable site fidelity over
 the course of their long lifespans. Initial colony selection can therefore
 have substantial fitness consequences, but factors contributing to
 recruitment into colonies and subsequent fidelity remain unclear. We used
 multi-state capture-recapture models to test several hypotheses related to
 apparent fledgling survival, probability of recruitment to natal colonies,
 and apparent post-recruitment survival in Black-legged Kittiwakes Rissa
 tridactyla, using data from individuals banded as chicks and subsequently
 resighted at a colony in south-central Alaska over a 20-year period.
 Competitive models suggested that apparent fledgling survival declined
 throughout our study. This decline was likely driven by intrinsic,
 cohort-specific processes and was not explainable by post-fledging weather
 or climate conditions. Independent resightings at other colonies suggest
 the apparent decline may have been at least partially influenced by
 permanent emigration (natal dispersal), which occurred more frequently
 when the colony size was large. Recruitment was primarily age-dependent,
 with no detectable effects from early life experience or from annual
 changes in four factors: colony size, colony productivity, climate, or
 average weather conditions. We estimated an average recruitment age of
 seven years, which is older than typically reported for Atlantic kittiwake
 populations and which supports a more conservative life history strategy
 for kittiwakes in the Pacific. Variation in the apparent survival of
 recruits was cohort-specific and did not correlate with age or annual
 changes in the factors listed above. Instead, apparent survival of
 recruits was best explained by colony size during a cohort’s second year,
 suggesting a degree of negative density dependence in post-recruitment
 survival or fidelity. This information could prove useful to managers
 deciding how to allocate resources among small, growing colonies and
 large, well-established colonies.

title: Data from: Timing of vegetation sampling does not influence associations between visual obstruction and turkey nest survival in a montane forest

description: Evaluating relationships between ecological processes that occur
 concurrently is complicated by the potential for such processes to covary.
 Ground-nesting birds rely on habitat characteristics that provide
 concealment from predators; this protection often is provided by
 vegetation at the nest. Recently, researchers have raised concern that
 measuring vegetation at nest fate introduces a bias, as vegetation at
 successful nests is measured later in the growing season. This bias can
 lead to an erroneous conclusion that plant height is positively associated
 with nest survival. However, if the features that provide concealment are
 invariant during the incubation period, no bias should be expected, and
 the timing of measurement is less influential. We used data collected from
 98 nests to evaluate whether there is evidence that such a bias exists in
 a study of wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) nesting in a forest
 ecosystem. We modelled nest survival as a function of visual obstruction
 and other covariates of interest. At unsuccessful nests, we collected
 visual obstruction readings at both the date of nest failure and the
 projected hatch date and compared survival estimates generated using both
 sets of vegetation data. In contrast to studies in other systems, we found
 little evidence that the timing of vegetation sampling influenced
 conclusions regarding the association between visual obstruction and
 survival; model selection and estimates of nest survival were similar
 regardless of when vegetation data were collected. The dominant hiding
 cover at most of our nests was provided by evergreen shrubs; slow growth
 of these plants likely prevent appreciable changes in visual obstruction
 during incubation. When considered with a growing body of literature, our
 results suggest that the influence of timing of sampling depends on the
 study system. When designing future studies, investigators should consider
 the structures that provide nest concealment and whether phenology is
 confounded with nest survival.

title: Data from: Males evolve to be more harmful under increased sexual conflict intensity in a seed beetle

description: One conspicuous manifestation of sexual conflict is traumatic mating, in
 which male genitalia damage the female during copulation. The penis of the
 seed beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus, is covered in spines that damage
 the female reproductive tract. Females kick males ostensibly to shorten
 these harmful copulations. How these iconic conflict behaviours coevolve
 in response to sexual conflict intensity can provide insight into the
 economics of these traits. We examined whether male harm and female
 resistance coevolved in response to elevated sexual conflict. We
 quantified copulation behaviour and female reproductive tract damage of
 individuals from replicated populations evolving for 32 generations under
 low or high sexual conflict (female- and male-biased treatments,
 respectively). First, we permitted females ad libitum matings with males
 from either sex-ratio treatment, recording her tract damage and longevity.
 Second, we performed a full-factorial cross of matings by males and
 females from each of the replicate populations, recording mating and
 kicking duration and reproductive output. We found manipulation of sexual
 conflict intensity led to the evolution of male harmfulness, but not
 female resistance to harm. We also demonstrate that female kicking does
 not respond to sexual conflict intensity, suggesting it does not function
 to mitigate male harm in this species. Our findings demonstrate the
 complexities of behavioural and morphological co-evolutionary responses to
 sexual conflict intensity in an important model species.

title: Data from Pollinator effectiveness and importance between female and male mining bee (Andrena)

description: Bees are often considered to be effective pollinators in both agricultural
 and natural ecosystems, but could be ‘ugly’ pollinators in that they
 collect large quantities of pollen for food provision but deliver little
 to stigmas. Male bees do not collect pollen to feed larvae, and their
 pollination role has been underappreciated. Here we compare pollination
 transfer efficiency and effectiveness between female and male individuals
 of a mining bee, Andrena emeishanica, visiting a nectariferous spring
 flower (Epimedium pubescens). Female bees were observed to forage for both
 pollen and nectar, but male bees foraged only for nectar. Female bees had
 large hairy hind tibiae with conspicuous scopae, and nearly 90% of the
 pollen grains they collected went onto the hind legs. Male bees removed
 less pollen from anthers than female bees but deposited more pollen on
 stigmas per visit. The higher pollen transfer efficiency of male bees was
 due to 48.4% of pollen grains remaining ungroomed on the thorax and
 abdomen, available for stigma contact, but their visitation rate to
 flowers was much lower. Our results indicate that male solitary bees could
 be more efficient than females (more pollen transfer per visit), but less
 effective (less pollen transfer in total, because fewer visits per unit
 time).

title: Data from: Effects of forest-use intensity on vascular epiphyte diversity along an elevational gradient

description: Aim: Understanding patterns of tropical plant diversity and their
 vulnerability to anthropogenic disturbance at different spatial scales
 remains a great challenge in ecology and conservation. Here, we study how
 the effects of forest-use intensity on vascular epiphyte diversity vary
 along a tropical elevational gradient. Location: 3500-m elevational
 gradient along the eastern slopes of Cofre de Perote, Mexico. Methods: We
 studied the effects of forest-use intensity on alpha, beta, and gamma
 diversity of vascular epiphyte assemblages in old-growth, degraded, and
 secondary forests at eight study sites at 500 m intervals along the
 elevational gradient. At each elevation and in each of the three
 forest-use intensity levels, we established five 400 m² plots yielding a
 total of 120 plots. Results: Interactive effects of elevation and
 forest-use intensity strongly impacted local-scale patterns of vascular
 epiphyte diversity. We found a bimodal trend, with species diversity
 peaking at 500 and 1500 m above sea-level, which deviates from the
 previously reported humped-shaped pattern. In most cases alpha diversity
 did not differ significantly among forest-use intensity levels. However,
 gamma diversity was always lower in secondary forests compared to
 old-growth forests across the entire elevational gradient. Within each
 elevational belt, beta diversity was dominated by species turnover along
 the forest-use intensity gradient in the lowlands and declined with
 increasing elevation, where community composition became increasingly
 nested. Along the elevational gradient, the spatial turnover of vascular
 epiphyte community composition was similar among forest-use intensity
 levels. Main conclusions: Our results reveal a strong interaction between
 forest-use intensity and elevation, making it difficult to extrapolate
 findings from one elevational belt to another. Our findings highlight the
 value of old-growth forest for epiphyte diversity, but also show that
 degraded and secondary forests –depending on the elevational belt– may
 maintain a high species diversity, and thus play an important role in
 conservation planning.
