title: Data from: Stress in native grasses under ecologically relevant heat waves

description: Future increases in the intensity of heat waves (high heat and low water
 availability) are predicted to be one of the most significant impacts on
 organisms. Using six native grasses from Eastern Australia, we assessed
 their capacity to tolerate heat waves with low water availability. We were
 interested in understanding differential response between native grasses
 of differing photosynthetic pathways in terms of physiological and some
 molecular parameters to ecologically relevant summer heat waves that are
 associated with low rainfall. We used a simulation heatwave event in
 controlled temperature cabinets and investigated effects of the different
 treatments on four stress indicators: leaf senescence, leaf water content,
 photosynthetic efficiency and the relative expression of two heat shock
 proteins, Hsp70 and smHsp17.6. Leaf senescence was significantly greater
 under the combined stress treatment, while declines in leaf water content
 and photosynthetic efficiency were much larger for C3 than C4 plants,
 particularly under the combined stress treatment. Species showed an
 increase in expression of Hsp70 associated with heat treatment, rather
 than drought stress. In contrast Hsp17.6 was only detected in two species,
 responding to heat rather than drought, although species’ responses were
 variable. Overall, the C3 species were less tolerant than C4 species.
 Variation in individual plants within species was evident, especially
 under multiple stresses, and indicates that losses of individual plants
 may occur during a heat wave associated with this variability in
 tolerance. Heat waves will impose significant stress on plant communities
 that would not otherwise occur when heat and drought stress are
 experienced singly. Using ecologically relevant heat stress is likely to
 yield better predictability of how native plants will cope under a hotter,
 drier future.

title: Data from: Intra-organ growth coordination in Drosophila is mediated by systemic ecdysone signaling

description: Regulation of final organ size is a complex developmental process that
 involves the integration of systemic and organ-specific processes.
 Previously, we have shown that in developing Drosophila, perturbing the
 growth of one imaginal disc – the parts of a holometabolous larva that
 become the external adult organs – retards growth of other discs and
 delays development, resulting in tight inter-organ growth coordination and
 the generation of a correctly proportioned adult. Whether different parts
 of the same imaginal disc similarly coordinate their growth to generate a
 functioning adult organ is, however, unclear. In this study, we use the
 wing imaginal disc in Drosophila to study and identify mechanisms of
 intra-organ growth coordination. We generate larvae in which the two
 compartments of the wing imaginal disc have ostensibly different growth
 rates (wild-type or growth-perturbed). We find that there is tightly
 coordinated growth between the wild-type and growth-perturbed
 compartments, where growth of the wild-type compartment is retarded to
 match that of the growth-perturbed compartment. Crucially, this
 coordination is disrupted by application of exogenous 20-hydroxyecdysone
 (20E), which accelerates growth of the wild-type compartment. We further
 elucidate the role of 20E signaling in growth coordination by showing that
 in wild-type discs, compartment-autonomous up-regulation of 20E signaling
 accelerates compartment growth and disrupts coordination. Interestingly,
 growth acceleration through exogenous application of 20E is inhibited with
 suppression of the Insulin/Insulin-like Growth Factor Signaling (IIS)
 pathway. This suggests that an active IIS pathway is necessary for
 ecdysone to accelerate compartment growth. Collectively, our data indicate
 that discs utilize systemic mechanisms, specifically ecdysone signaling,
 to coordinate intra-organ growth.

title: Data from: Body height and immune efficacy: testing body stature as a signal of biological quality

description: According to the good genes hypothesis and energy allocation theory, human
 adult body height may reflect biological quality. An important aspect of
 this quality is immune system functioning (ISF). The aim of this study was
 to evaluate the relationship between ISF and body height in healthy
 people. The ISF was determined by several important innate (total
 complement and lysozyme activity, neutrophils function) and adaptive
 immune parameters (lymphocytes, IgA and IgG, and response to flu vaccine).
 Overall, 96 males and 97 females were subjected to flu vaccination, and of
 these 35 males and 34 females were subjected to tetanus. Blood samples
 were collected before and 4 weeks after vaccination. Immunomodulatory
 factors: participant's age, body fat and free testosterone levels,
 were controlled. There was no association between body height and all
 analysed immune parameters for both sexes. That might suggest that in
 western society, a women’s preference for taller men is not related to
 “good genes for immune competence”. We propose the novel Immunity Priority
 Hypothesis that explains the lack of relationship between adult body
 stature and ISF. This hypothesis, however, does not contradict the
 signalling role of a man's body height as a morphological marker of
 biological quality.

title: Data from: Higher flight activity in the offspring of migrants compared to residents in a migratory insect

description: Migration has evolved among many animal taxa and migratory species are
 found across all major lineages. Insects are the most abundant and diverse
 terrestrial migrants, with trillions of animals migrating annually.
 Partial migration, where populations consist of resident and migratory
 individuals, is ubiquitous among many taxa. However, the underlying
 mechanisms are relatively poorly understood and may be driven by
 physiological, behavioural or genetic variation within populations. We
 investigated the differences in migratory tendency between migratory and
 resident phenotypes of the hoverfly, Episyrphus balteatus, using tethered
 flight mills. Further, to test whether migratory flight behaviour is
 heritable and disentangle the effects of environment during development,
 we compared the flight behaviour of laboratory-reared offspring of
 migrating, overwintering and summer animals. Offspring of migrants
 initiated more flights than those of resident individuals. Interestingly,
 there were no differences among wild-caught phenotypes with regard to
 number of flights or total flight duration. Low activity in
 field-collected migrants might be explained by an energy conserving state
 that migrants enter in to when under laboratory conditions, or a lack of
 suitable environmental cues for triggering migration. Our results strongly
 suggest that flight behaviour is heritable and that genetic factors
 influence migratory tendency in E. balteatus. These findings support the
 growing evidence that genetic factors play a role in partial migration and
 warrant careful further investigation.

title: Data from: Sharpening coarse-to-fine stereo vision by perceptual learning: asymmetric transfer across the spatial frequency spectrum

description: Neurons in the early visual cortex are finely tuned to different low-level
 visual features, forming a multi-channel system analysing the visual image
 formed on the retina in a parallel manner. However, little is known about
 the potential ‘cross-talk’ among these channels. Here, we systematically
 investigated whether stereoacuity, over a large range of target spatial
 frequencies, can be enhanced by perceptual learning. Using narrow-band
 visual stimuli, we found that practice with coarse (low spatial frequency)
 targets substantially improves performance, and that the improvement
 spreads from coarse to fine (high spatial frequency) three-dimensional
 perception, generalizing broadly across untrained spatial frequencies and
 orientations. Notably, we observed an asymmetric transfer of learning
 across the spatial frequency spectrum. The bandwidth of transfer was
 broader when training was at a high spatial frequency than at a low
 spatial frequency. Stereoacuity training is most beneficial when trained
 with fine targets. This broad transfer of stereoacuity learning contrasts
 with the highly specific learning reported for other basic visual
 functions. We also revealed strategies to boost learning outcomes
 ‘beyond-the-plateau’. Our investigations contribute to understanding the
 functional properties of the network subserving stereovision. The ability
 to generalize may provide a key principle for restoring impaired binocular
 vision in clinical situations.

title: Data from: Can the results of biodiversity-ecosystem productivity studies be translated to bioenergy production?

description: Biodiversity experiments show that increases in plant diversity can lead
 to greater biomass production, and some researchers suggest that high
 diversity plantings should be used for bioenergy production. However, many
 methods used in past biodiversity experiments are impractical for
 bioenergy plantings. For example, biodiversity experiments often use
 intensive management such as hand weeding to maintain low diversity
 plantings and exclude unplanted species, but this would not be done for
 bioenergy plantings. Also, biodiversity experiments generally use high
 seeding densities that would be too expensive for bioenergy plantings.
 Here we report the effects of biodiversity on biomass production from two
 studies of more realistic bioenergy crop plantings in southern Michigan,
 USA. One study involved comparing production between switchgrass (Panicum
 virgatum) monocultures and species-rich prairie plantings on private farm
 fields that were managed similarly to bioenergy plantings. The other study
 was an experiment where switchgrass was planted in monoculture and in
 combination with increasingly species-rich native prairie mixtures.
 Overall, we found that bioenergy plantings with higher species richness
 did not produce more biomass than switchgrass monocultures. The lack of a
 positive relationship between planted species richness and production in
 our studies may be due to several factors. Non-planted species (weeds)
 were not removed from our studies and these non-planted species may have
 competed with planted species and also prevented realized species richness
 from equaling planted species richness. Also, we found that low seeding
 density of individual species limited the biomass production of these
 individual species. Production in future bioenergy plantings with high
 species richness may be increased by using a high density of inexpensive
 seed from switchgrass and other highly productive species, and future
 efforts to translate the results of biodiversity experiments to bioenergy
 plantings should consider the role of seeding density.

title: Data from: Quantitative genetic architecture at latitudinal range boundaries: reduced variation but higher trait independence

description: Species distribution limits are hypothesized to be caused by small
 population size and limited genetic variation in ecologically relevant
 traits, but earlier studies have not evaluated genetic variation in
 multivariate phenotypes. We asked whether populations at the latitudinal
 edges of the distribution have altered quantitative genetic architecture
 of ecologically relevant traits compared with midlatitude populations. We
 calculated measures of evolutionary potential in nine Arabidopsis lyrata
 populations spanning the latitudinal range of the species in eastern and
 midwestern North America. Environments at the latitudinal extremes have
 reduced water availability, and therefore plants were assessed under wet
 and dry treatments. We estimated genetic variance-covariance (G-) matrices
 for 10 traits related to size, development, and water balance. Populations
 at southern and northern distribution edges had reduced levels of genetic
 variation across traits, but their G-matrices were more spherical;
 G-matrix orientation was unrelated to latitude. As a consequence, the
 predicted short-term response to selection was at least as strong in edge
 populations as in central populations. These results are consistent with
 genetic drift eroding variation and reducing the effectiveness of
 correlational selection at distribution margins. We conclude that genetic
 variation of isolated traits poorly predicts the capacity to evolve in
 response to multivariate selection and that the response to selection may
 frequently be greater than expected at species distribution margins
 because of genetic drift.

title: Data from: The genomic and ecological context of hybridization affects the probability that symmetrical incompatibilities drive hybrid speciation

description: Despite examples of homoploid hybrid species, theoretical work describing
 when, where, and how we expect homoploid hybrid speciation to occur
 remains relatively rare. Here, I explore the probability of homoploid
 hybrid speciation due to “symmetrical incompatibilities” under different
 selective and genetic scenarios. Through simulation, I test how genetic
 architecture and selection acting on traits that do not themselves
 generate incompatibilities interact to affect the probability that hybrids
 evolve symmetrical incompatibilities with their parent species.
 Unsurprisingly, selection against admixture at “adaptive” loci that are
 linked to loci that generate incompatibilities tends to reduce the
 probability of evolving symmetrical incompatibilities. By contrast,
 selection that favors admixed genotypes at adaptive loci can promote the
 evolution of symmetrical incompatibilities. The magnitude of these
 outcomes is affected by the strength of selection, aspects of genetic
 architecture such as linkage relationships and the linear arrangement of
 loci along a chromosome, and the amount of hybridization following the
 formation of a hybrid zone. These results highlight how understanding the
 nature of selection, aspects of the genetics of traits affecting fitness,
 and the strength of reproductive isolation between hybridizing taxa can
 all be used to inform when we expect to observe homoploid hybrid
 speciation due to symmetrical incompatibilities.

title: Data from: Demographic stimulation of the obligate understorey herb, Panax quinquefolius L., in response to natural forest canopy disturbances

description: 1.Natural and anthropogenic forest canopy disturbances significantly alter
 forest dynamics and lead to multi-dimensional shifts in the forest
 understorey. An understorey plant's ability to exploit alterations to
 the light environment caused by canopy disturbance leads to changes in
 population dynamics. The purpose of this work was to determine if
 population growth of a species adapted to low light increases in response
 to additional light inputs caused by canopy disturbance, or alternatively,
 declines due to long-term selection under low light conditions. 2.To
 address this question, we quantified the demographic response of an
 understorey herb to three contrasting forest canopy disturbances (ice
 storms, tent caterpillar defoliation and lightning strikes) that encompass
 a broad range of disturbance severity. We used a model shade-adapted
 understorey species, Panax quinquefolius, to parameterize stage-based
 matrix models. Asymptotic growth rates, stochastic growth rates and
 simulations of transient dynamics were used to quantify the
 population-level response to canopy disturbance. Life table response
 experiments were used to partition the underlying controls over
 differences in population growth rates. 3.Population growth rates at all
 three disturbed sites increased in the transition period immediately after
 the canopy disturbance relative to the transition period prior to
 disturbance. Stochastic population models revealed that growth rates
 increased significantly in simulations that included disturbance matrices
 relative to those simulations that excluded disturbance. Additionally,
 transient models indicated that population size (n) was larger for all
 three populations when the respective disturbance matrix was included in
 the model. 4.Synthesis Obligate shade species are most likely to be
 pre-adapted to take advantage of canopy gaps and light influx to a degree,
 and this pre-adaptation may be due to long-term selection under dynamic
 old growth forest canopies. We propose a model whereby population
 performance is represented by a parabolic curve where performance is
 maximized under intermediate levels of canopy disturbance. This study
 provides new evidence to aid our understanding of the population-level
 response of understorey herbs to disturbances whose frequency and
 intensity are predicted to increase as global climates continue to shift.

title: Data from: The potential for flower nectar to allow mosquito to mosquito transmission of Francisella tularensis

description: Francisella tularensis is disseminated in nature by biting arthropods such
 as mosquitoes. The relationship between mosquitoes and F. tularensis in
 nature is highly ambiguous, due in part to the fact that mosquitoes have
 caused significant tularemia outbreaks despite being classified as a
 mechanical vector of F. tularensis. One possible explanation for
 mosquitoes being a prominent, yet mechanical vector is that these insects
 feed on flower nectar between blood meals, allowing for transmission of F.
 tularensis between mosquitoes. Here, we aimed to assess whether F.
 tularensis could survive in flower nectar. Moreover, we examined if
 mosquitoes could interact with or ingest and transmit F. tularensis from
 one source of nectar to another. F. tularensis exhibited robust
 survivability in flower nectar with concentrations of viable bacteria
 remaining consistent with the rich growth medium. Furthermore, F.
 tularensis was able to survive (albeit to a lesser extent) in 30% sucrose
 (a nectar surrogate) over a period of time consistent with that of a
 typical flower bloom. Although we observed diminished bacterial survival
 in the nectar surrogate, mosquitoes that fed on this material became
 colonized with F. tularensis. Finally, colonized mosquitoes were capable
 of transferring F. tularensis to a sterile nectar surrogate. These data
 suggest that flower nectar may be capable of serving as a temporary source
 of F. tularensis that could contribute to the amplification of outbreaks.
 Mosquitoes that feed on an infected mammalian host and subsequently feed
 on flower nectar could deposit some F. tularensis bacteria into the nectar
 in the process. Mosquitoes subsequently feeding on this nectar source
 could potentially become colonized by F. tularensis. Thus, the possibility
 exists that flower nectar may allow for vector-vector transmission of F.
 tularensis.
