title: Data from: Integrating local knowledge to prioritise invasive species management

description: 1. Invasive species management involves complex and multidimensional
 challenges. There is considerable uncertainty regarding how to identify
 management strategies that will achieve invasive species control to
 enhance biodiversity, local economies, and human well-being. Invasive
 species management on inhabited islands is especially challenging, often
 due to perceived socio-political risks and unexpected technical
 difficulties. 2. Failing to incorporate local knowledge and local
 perspectives in the early stages of planning can compromise the ability of
 decision-makers to achieve long-lasting conservation outcomes. Hence,
 engaging the community and accounting for stakeholder perceptions is
 essential for invasive species management, yet these processes are often
 overlooked as they can be perceived as too difficult to implement, too
 costly, and/or too slow for management timeframes. 3. To address this gap,
 we present an application of invasive species management based on
 structured decision-making, and INFFER —a cost-benefit analysis tool— on
 Minjerribah-North Stradbroke Island (Australia). We assessed the
 cost-effectiveness of six management scenarios, co-developed with local
 land managers and community groups, aimed at preserving the environmental
 and cultural significance of the island by eradicating European red foxes
 (Vulpes vulpes) and feral cats (Felis catus). Information was collected in
 a survey that elicited local stakeholders’ perspectives regarding the
 significance of the Island, their perception of the benefits of the
 proposed management scenarios, funding requirements, technical feasibility
 of implementation, and socio-political risk. 4. We found that low budgets
 achieve less cost-effective results than higher budgets. The best strategy
 focussed on controlling European red foxes on Minjerribah. However, our
 results also highlight the need for more research on feral cat management.
 5. This work demonstrates how to use a structured decision support tool,
 such as INFFER, to assess contesting management strategies. Using
 appropriate decision support tools is particularly important when
 stakeholders' perceptions regarding management outcomes are
 heterogeneous and uncertain.

title: Data from: Selective advantages favour high genomic AT-contents in intracellular elements

description: Extrachromosomal genetic elements such as bacterial endosymbionts and
 plasmids generally exhibit AT-contents that are increased relative to
 their hosts’ DNA. The AT-bias of endosymbiotic genomes is commonly
 explained by neutral evolutionary processes such as a mutational bias
 towards increased A+T. Here we show experimentally that an increased
 AT-content of host-dependent elements can be selectively favoured.
 Manipulating the nucleotide composition of bacterial cells by introducing
 A+T-rich or G+C-rich plasmids, we demonstrate that cells containing
 GC-rich plasmids are less fit than cells containing AT-rich plasmids.
 Moreover, the cost of GC-rich elements could be compensated by providing
 precursors of G+C, but not of A+T, thus linking the observed fitness
 effects to the cytoplasmic availability of nucleotides. Accordingly,
 introducing AT-rich and GC-rich plasmids into other bacterial species with
 different genomic GC-contents revealed that the costs of G+C-rich plasmids
 decreased with an increasing GC-content of their host’s genomic DNA. Taken
 together, our work identifies selection as a strong evolutionary force
 that drives the genomes of intracellular genetic elements toward higher
 A+T contents.

title: Data from: Interactions between ecological factors in the developmental environment modulate pupal and adult traits in a polyphagous fly

description: 1. In holometabolous insects, adult fitness depends on the quantity and
 quality of resource acquired at the larval stage. Diverse ecological
 factors can influence larval resource acquisition, but little is known
 about how these factors in the larval environment interact to modulate
 larval development and adult traits. 2. Here, we addressed this gap by
 considering how key ecological factors of larval density, diet nutritional
 composition, and microbial growth interact to modulate pupal and adult
 traits in a polyphagous tephritid fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni (aka
 'Queensland fruit fly'). 3. Larvae were allowed to develop at
 two larval densities (low and high), on diets that were protein-rich,
 standard, or sugar-rich and prepared with or without preservatives to
 inhibit or encourage microbial growth, respectively. 4. Percentage of
 adult emergence and adult sex ratio were not affected by the interaction
 between diet composition, larval density and preservative treatments,
 although low preservative content increased adult emergence in sugar-rich
 diets but decreased adult emergence in protein-rich and standard diets. 5.
 Pupal weight, male and female adult dry weight, and female (but not male)
 body energetic reserves were affected by a strong three-way interaction
 between diet composition, larval density and preservative treatment,
 whereby in general, low preservative content increased pupal weight and
 female lipid storage in sugar-rich diets particularly at low-larval
 density, and differentially modulated the decrease in adult body weight
 caused by larval density across diets. 6. Our findings provide insights
 into the ecological factors modulating larval development of a polyphagous
 fly species, and shed light into the ecological complexity of the larval
 developmental environment in frugivorous insects.

title: Data from: Long-term safety and effectiveness of growth hormone therapy in Korean children with growth disorders: 5-year results of LG Growth Study

description: Purpose The aim of this registry study was to analyze the long-term safety
 and effectiveness of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) in South
 Korean pediatric patients (≥2 years of age) with growth hormone deficiency
 GHD) of idiopathic or organic etiology, idiopathic short stature, Turner
 syndrome, small for gestational age and chronic renal failure. Methods The
 study patients were followed-up till two years after the epiphyseal
 closure, with visits scheduled every six months. The outcome measures
 included the incidence of adverse events (AEs, in particular, neoplasia,
 glucose intolerance and hypothyroidism), as well as height standard
 deviation score (Ht SDS) and annual height velocity. The results of the
 interim analysis of a 5-year accumulated data for 2,024 patients (7,342
 patient-years, PY) are presented. Results A total of 14 neoplasms were
 diagnosed (191/100,000 PY); 7 out of 9 malignancies were recurrent
 craniopharyngioma found in patients with organic GHD. Seven cases of
 glucose intolerance (95/100,000 PY) and 22 cases of hypothyroidism
 (300/100,000 PY) were detected; about half of the cases (4 and 10 cases
 each) were considered to be related with rhGH treatment. Most of the
 growth-retarded patients showed continuous improvement in Ht SDS, with the
 most prominent effect observed within a year of treatment initiation. The
 beneficial effect of rhGH on Ht SDS gain was maintained for 2-4 years.
 Conclusions The incidence of AEs of interest in rhGH-treated patients was
 low, and most of the neoplasms were benign and/or non-related to rhGH.
 Most patients benefited from the therapy in terms of height increment.

title: Data from: Testing the evolutionary constraints of metamorphosis: the ontogeny of head shape in Triturus newts

description: In vertebrates with complex, biphasic, life cycles, larvae have a distinct
 morphology and ecological preferences compared to metamorphosed juveniles
 and adults. In amphibians, abrupt and rapid metamorphic changes transform
 aquatic larvae to terrestrial juveniles. The main aim of this study is to
 test whether, relative to larval stages, metamorphosis 1) resets the
 pattern of variation between ontogenetic stages and species; 2) constrains
 intraspecific morphological variability, and 3) similar to the
 “hour-glass” model, reduces morphological disparity. We explore
 postembryonic ontogenetic trajectories of head shape (from hatching to
 completed metamorphosis) of two well-defined, morphologically distinct
 Triturus newts species and their F1 hybrids. Variation in head shape is
 quantified and compared on two levels: dynamic (across ontogenetic stages)
 and static (at a particular stage). Our results show that the ontogenetic
 trajectories diverge early during development and continue to diverge
 throughout larval stages and metamorphosis. The high within-group variance
 and the largest disparity level (between-group variance) characterize the
 metamorphosed stage. Hence, our results indicate that metamorphosis does
 not canalize head shape variation generated during larval development and
 that metamorphosed phenotype is not more constrained relative to larval
 ones. Therefore, metamorphosis cannot be regarded as a developmental
 constraint, at least not for salamander head shape.

title: Data from: Playback of predator calls inhibits and delays dawn singing in a songbird community

description: Recent studies have demonstrated that experimental increases in perceived
 predation risk can substantially impair breeding behavior and reduce
 reproductive success. Perceived predation risk may also occur in the
 context of sexual signaling, with potential consequences for sexual
 selection. In songbirds, singing at dawn is an important sexual signal,
 but may also attract predators. Here, we report on two experiments
 designed to test whether perceived predation risk affects the occurrence
 and timing of dawn singing in a songbird community. In a pilot experiment,
 we broadcast predator playbacks intermittently across half a forest plot
 and non-predator playbacks across the other half throughout early spring.
 In the second experiment, we repeated the treatments in 16 independent,
 but smaller plots (8 with predator calls, 8 with non-predator calls). In
 the predator treatment, most species were less likely to sing at dawn
 (small, non-significant effects) and to start later if they did sing
 (significant for 2 species). Meta-analyses combining the data from both
 experiments showed an overall significant effect of the treatment on both
 the likelihood and timing of singing. Species that were less likely to
 sing also sang later if they did sing, corroborating that an increase in
 perceived predation risk was the common cause of the effects on both
 measures.

title: Data from: Remotely-sensed primary productivity shows that domestic and native herbivores combined are overgrazing Patagonia

description: 1. Carrying capacity is the maximum density of animals an area can sustain
 without a deterioration of its resources. Overgrazing degraded Patagonia
 grasslands in the past, but sheep stocks decreased in the last three
 decades and gave way to a mixed system with cattle, goats and guanacos
 (native wild camelids). 2. The objective of this paper was to develop a
 method to estimate carrying capacity based on remotely sensed data, and to
 assess wild and domestic herbivore numbers to establish if combined
 grazing stocks have evolved to a balance with carrying capacity. 3. Net
 Primary Productivity (NPP) MOD17/A3 images and Aerial Net Primary
 Productivity (ANPP) data of 66 sites were linearly regressed (R2= 0.83,
 P&lt;0.01), and the slope 0.236 was used to convert MOD17/A3 NPP to
 ANPP. The proportion of ANPP that can be sustainably consumed (Harvest
 index) was HI=-5.71+0.72 ANPP0.5. Consumable forage was CF =ANPP.HI and
 carrying capacity CC =CF.EAC-1, where EAC is an estimate of annual
 consumption: 500, 3200 and 750 kg DM.head-1.year-1 for sheep or goats,
 cattle and guanacos, respectively. 4. Regional ANPP±SD (2000-2015) was
 758±52 kg DM ha-1.yr-1; HI= 13.7±0.6% and CF= 104±12 kg DM ha-1yr-1
 resulting in regional carrying capacity of 14.8±1.6 M sheep or goats,
 2.3±0.3 M cattle or 9.9±1.2 M guanacos. 5. Domestic stock was high from
 1920 to 1980, but declined thereafter and remained mostly within ±1SD of
 carrying capacity in this century. Annual mean provincial stocks and
 carrying capacity (2000-2015) correlated well (R²= 0.94, p&lt;0.01)
 with a slope close to 1. 6. Guanacos increased from 0.5 M to 2 M between
 2000 and 2015, driving linearly combined grazing pressures 36 and 62%
 above carrying capacity in southern Patagonia provinces in 2015. 7.
 Synthesis and applications: Herbivore de-stocking is necessary to restore
 grazing balance in south Patagonia. Guanacos are capable of grazing
 low-quality food and maintain production during dry periods, and their
 meat and fibre may be incorporated and combined with sheep production.
 Management of population of guanacos in mixed grazing systems with
 adjusted stocks may prevent further rangeland degradation, farm
 abandonment, and loss of ecosystem services of these
 rangelands.05-Apr-2019

title: Data from: Genetic differences among Cedrela odorata sites in Bolivia provide limited potential for fine-scale timber tracing

description: Illegal trade of tropical timber leads to biodiversity and economic losses
 worldwide. There is a need for forensic tools that allow tracing the
 origin of timber and verifying compliance with international and national
 regulations. We evaluated the potential for genetic tracing of Cedrela
 odorata, one of the most traded neotropical timbers, within Bolivia. Using
 a set of seven microsatellites (SSRs), we studied the spatial distribution
 and genetic diversity and tested whether populations show sufficient
 genetic discrimination for timber tracing at a national level. Cambium and
 leaves were sampled from 81 C. odorata trees from three sites, at
 268–501-km distance. To explore genetic differentiation, Bayesian
 clustering and principal component analysis (PCA) were employed. To infer
 the origin of samples, we conducted kernel discriminant analysis (KDA)
 based on a PCA that included all alleles and a manual assessment of
 site-unique alleles. The PCA showed three distinct genetic clusters, but
 only one of them corresponded with one of the sampled sites. The KDA based
 on allele frequency had a 33.7% mean classification error, with a
 considerably lower error (8.2%) for the site which matched with one
 genetic cluster. The blind test on unique alleles led to a similar
 classification error (30%). The occurrence of multiple genetic clusters
 within sites suggests that Bolivian C. odorata populations contain several
 parental lines, resulting in limited potential for forensic tracing at a
 national level. Based on our findings, we recommend for additional
 sampling across the spatial range of C. odorata within the country to
 support the development of forensic techniques for this species.

title: Data from: Competition and resource breadth shape niche variation and overlap in multiple trophic dimensions

description: Competition plays a central role in the maintenance of biodiversity. A
 backbone of classic niche theory is that local coexistence of competitors
 is favoured by the contraction or divergence of species’ niches. However,
 this effect should depend on the diversity of resources available in the
 local environment, particularly when resources vary in multiple ecological
 dimensions. Here, we investigated how available resource breadth (i.e.,
 prey diversity) and competition together shape multidimensional niche
 variation (between and within individuals) and interspecific niche overlap
 in 42 populations of congeneric tropical frog species. We modelled
 realised niches in two key trophic dimensions (prey size and carbon stable
 isotopes) and sampled available food resources to quantify two-dimensional
 resource breadth. We found 14-fold variation in multidimensional
 population niche width across populations, most of which was accounted for
 by within-individual diet variation. This striking variation was predicted
 by an interaction whereby individual niche breadth increased with resource
 breadth and decreased with the number of congeneric competitors. These
 ecological gradients also interact to influence the degree of niche
 overlap between species, which surprisingly decreased with population
 total niche width, providing novel insights on how similar species can
 coexist in local communities. Together, our results emphasise that
 patterns of exploitation of resources in multiple dimensions are driven by
 both competitive interactions and extrinsic factors such as local resource
 breadth.

title: Data from: Diastolic pressure ratio: new approach and validation vs. the instantaneous wave-free ratio

description: Aims The instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) and whole-cycle Pd/Pa
 investigate coronary physiology during non-hyperaemic conditions. To test
 for unique physiologic properties of the wave-free period when making
 resting coronary pressure measurements, we compared post hoc a diastolic
 pressure ratio (dPR) and Pd/Pa against iFR for numerical similarity and
 test/retest repeatability. Methods and results Eight hundred and
 ninety-three lesions from 833 subjects were included from the VERIFY 2 and
 CONTRAST studies. Diastolic pressure ratio and a linear transform of Pd/Pa
 were compared against iFR for diagnostic performance. Mean difference
 between dPR and iFR [Δ = −0.006 ± 0.011, r2 = 0.993, area under receiver
 operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) = 0.997] mirrored the
 difference of two iFR measurements repeated immediately (Δ = &lt;0.001
 ± 0.004, r2 = 0.998, AUC = 1.00). Minor variations in the definition of
 dPR changed its value by &lt;1–2% over a broad range of the cardiac
 cycle. A linear transform of Pd/Pa showed very good diagnostic performance
 (Δ = −0.012 ± 0.031, r2 = 0.927, AUC = 0.979). Post hoc iFR values were
 validated against real-time iFR values and matched almost exactly (average
 Δ = &lt;0.001 ± 0.004, 99.6% within ±0.01). Conclusions Our dPR offers
 numerical equivalency to iFR. Despite different technical approaches for
 identifying the relevant period of diastole, the agreement between dPR and
 iFR and the insensitivity of dPR to minor variations in its definition
 further confirm numerical equivalency among resting metrics.

title: Data from: Ancestral chytrid pathogen remains hypervirulent following its long co-evolution with amphibian hosts

description: Many amphibian species around the world, except in Asia, suffer morbidity
 and mortality when infected by the emerging infectious pathogen
 Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). A lineage of the amphibian chytrid
 fungus isolated from South Korean amphibians (BdAsia-1) is evolutionarily
 basal to recombinant global pandemic lineages (BdGPL) associated with
 worldwide amphibian population declines. In Asia, the Bd pathogen and its
 amphibian hosts have coevolved over 100 years or more. Thus, resilience of
 Asian amphibian populations to infection might result from attenuated
 virulence of endemic Bd lineages, evolved immunity to the pathogen or
 both. We compared susceptibilities of an Australasian amphibian, Litoria
 caerulea, known to lack resistance to BdGPL, with those of three Korean
 species, Bufo gargarizans, Bombina orientalis and Hyla japonica, after
 inoculation with BdAsia-1, BdGPL or a blank solution. Subjects became
 infected in all experimental treatments but Korean species rapidly cleared
 themselves of infection, regardless of Bd lineage. They survived with no
 apparent secondary effects. By contrast, L. caerulea, after infection by
 either BdAsia-1 or BdGPL, suffered deteriorating body condition and
 carried progressively higher Bd loads over time. Subsequently, most
 subjects died. Comparing their effects on L. caerulea, BdAsia-1 induced
 more rapid disease progression than BdGPL. The results suggest that
 genomic recombination with other lineages was not necessary for the
 ancestral Bd lineage to evolve hypervirulence over its long period of
 coevolution with amphibian hosts. The pathogen's virulence may have
 driven strong selection for immune responses in endemic Asian amphibian
 host species.
