title: Data from: Among-individual and within-individual variation in seasonal migration covaries with subsequent reproductive success in a partially-migratory bird

description: Within-individual and among-individual variation in expression of key
 environmentally-sensitive traits, and associated variation in fitness
 components occurring within and between years, determine the extents of
 phenotypic plasticity and selection and shape population responses to
 changing environments. Reversible seasonal migration is one key trait that
 directly mediates spatial escape from seasonally-deteriorating
 environments, causing spatio-seasonal population dynamics. Yet,
 within-individual and among-individual variation in seasonal migration
 versus year-round residence, and dynamic associations with subsequent
 reproductive success, have not been fully quantified. We used novel
 capture-mark-recapture mixture models to assign individual European shags
 (Phalacrocorax aristotelis) to ‘resident, ‘early migrant’ or ‘late
 migrant’ strategies in two consecutive years, using year-round local
 resightings. We demonstrate substantial among-individual variation in
 strategy within years, and directional within-individual change between
 years. Further, subsequent reproductive success varied substantially among
 strategies, and relationships differed between years; residents and late
 migrants had highest success in the two years respectively, matching the
 years in which these strategies were most frequently expressed. These
 results imply that migratory strategies can experience
 fluctuating reproductive selection, and that flexible expression of
 migration can be partially aligned with reproductive outcomes. Plastic
 seasonal migration could then potentially contribute to adaptive
 population responses to currently changing forms of environmental
 seasonality.

title: Data from: From trial to implementation, bringing team-based learning online – Duke-NUS Medical School’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic

description: The restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in Duke-NUS
 Medical School moving all their lessons online. Duke-NUS employs a
 team-based learning (TBL) pedagogy, which depends heavily on student
 discussion. In 2015, our university had implemented an eLearning week
 where lessons were conducted online. Using the already present online
 assessment processes, the data, insights and student feedback allowed for
 swift implementation of an online TBL module for home-based learning in
 response to the pandemic in 2020. These protocols were modified over the
 weeks, guided by feedback from students and faculty. An analysis of this
 online TBL module is presented herein.

title: Data from: A meta-analysis of factors influencing the strength of mate choice copying in animals

description: Davies et al., (2020) All data and R code Mate-choice copying is a form of
 social learning in which an individual’s choice of mate is influenced by
 the apparent choices of other individuals of the same sex, and has been
 observed in more than 20 species across a broad taxonomic range. Though
 fitness benefits of copying have proven difficult to measure, theory
 suggests that copying should not be beneficial for all species or
 contexts. However, the factors influencing the evolution and expression of
 copying have proven difficult to resolve. We systematically searched the
 literature for studies of mate-choice copying in non-human animals, and
 then performed a phylogenetically-controlled meta-analysis to explore
 which factors influence the expression of copying across species. Across
 58 published studies in 23 species, we find strong evidence that animals
 copy the mate choice of others. The strength of copying was significantly
 influenced by taxonomic group, however sample size limitations mean it is
 difficult to draw firm conclusions regarding copying in mammals and
 arthropods. The strength of copying was also influenced by experimental
 design: copying was stronger when choosers were tested before and after
 witnessing a conspecific’s mate choice, compared to when choosers with
 social information were compared to choosers without. Importantly, we did
 not detect any difference in the strength of copying between males and
 females, or in relation to the rate of multiple mating. Our search also
 highlights that more empirical work is needed to investigate copying in a
 broader range of species, especially those with differing mating systems
 and levels of reproductive investment.

title: Leg length and bristle density both necessary for water surface locomotion are genetically correlated in water striders

description: Access to hitherto unexploited ecological opportunities is associated with
 phenotypic evolution and often results in significant lineage
 diversification. Yet, our understanding of the mechanisms underlying such
 adaptive traits remains limited.  Water striders have been able
 to exploit the water-air interface, primarily facilitated by changes in
 the density of hydrophobic bristles and a significant increase in leg
 length. These two traits are functionally correlated and are both
 necessary for generating efficient locomotion on the water surface.
 Whether bristle density and leg length have any cellular or developmental
 genetic mechanisms in common is unknown. Here, we combine comparative
 genomics and transcriptomics with functional RNAi assays to examine the
 developmental genetic and cellular mechanisms underlying the patterning of
 the bristles and the legs in Gerris buenoi and Mesovelia mulsanti, two
 species of water striders. We found that two gene duplication events in
 the genes beadex and taxi led to a functional expansion of the paralogs to
 affect bristle density and leg length. We also identified genes for which
 no function in bristle development has been previously described in other
 insects. Interestingly, most of these genes play a dual role in regulating
 bristle development and leg length. In addition, these genes play a role
 in regulating cell division. This result suggests that cell division may
 be a common mechanism through which these genes can simultaneously
 regulate leg length and bristle density. We propose that pleiotropy, by
 which gene function affects the development of multiple traits, may play a
 prominent role in facilitating access to unexploited ecological
 opportunities and species diversification.

title: Data from: Brain states govern the spatio-temporal dynamics of resting-state functional connectivity

description: Previously, using simultaneous resting-state functional magnetic resonance
 imaging (fMRI) and photometry-based neuronal calcium recordings in the
 anesthetized rat, we identified blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD)
 responses directly related to slow calcium waves, revealing a cortex-wide
 and spatially organized correlate of locally recorded neuronal activity
 (Schwalm et al., 2017). Here, using the same techniques, we investigate
 two distinct cortical activity states: persistent activity, in which
 compartmentalized network dynamics were observed; and slow wave activity,
 dominated by a cortex-wide BOLD component, suggesting a strong functional
 coupling of inter-cortical activity. During slow wave activity we find a
 correlation between the occurring slow wave events and the strength of
 functional connectivity between different cortical areas. These findings
 suggest that down-up transitions of neuronal excitability can drive
 cortex-wide functional connectivity. This study provides further evidence
 that changes in functional connectivity are dependent on the brain’s
 current state, directly linked to the generation of slow waves.

title: Climate controls plant life form patterns on a high-elevation oceanic island

description: Aim: Plant life forms characterize key morphological strategies that
 enable large-scale comparisons of plant communities. This study applies
 Raunkiær’s plant life form concept that was developed for temperate
 climate to a subtropical island flora, in parts, dominated by summer
 aridity. We quantify how plant life form patterns as well as patterns of
 important plant functional traits (PFTs) relate to important climate and
 topographic characteristics. Location: La Palma, Canary Islands Taxon:
 Flora of La Palma. Methods: We assigned each native plant species a plant
 life form, i.e., phanerophyte, chamaephyte, hemicryptophyte, geophyte and
 therophyte, as well as PFTs (succulence and N-fixer). We used stacked
 species distribution models to assess occurrence probability for each
 species using the Atlantis database (500x500 m grid). We related richness
 and percentage values for each plant life form and PFT to climate and
 topography. Results: Plant life forms and PFTs showed a clear pattern
 within geographic but also climate space, while topography had a minor
 effect. Phanerophytes mainly contributed to the flora in humid areas.
 Chamaephytes and hemicryptophytes most strongly contributed to the summit
 scrub flora and, to some degree, also to the arid coastal regions.
 Geophytes and therophytes were mainly found in dry coastal regions.
 N-fixers contributed mainly to warm-arid and cool-arid regions, while
 succulent species were mainly found in arid coastal regions. Main
 conclusions: Raunkiær’s plant life form concept can be comprehensively
 transferred to a subtropical island flora by adapting to local unfavorable
 growing conditions, i.e., aridity. Using the strong environmental
 gradients offered by our study island, we identify substantial
 climate-driven variation in patterns of plant life forms and PFTs that
 might be used for large scale comparisons in macroecological studies. The
 growth strategies reflected in Raunkiær’s plant life forms suggest
 differences in species establishment and coexistence dynamics within
 different parts of the island’s climate space.

 life form and plant functional traits for each species of the flora of La

title: Fine-scale variation within urban landscapes affects marking patterns and gastrointestinal parasite diversity in red foxes

description: Urban areas are often considered to be a hostile environment for wildlife
 as they are highly fragmented and frequently disturbed. However, these
 same habitats can contain abundant resources, while lacking many common
 competitors and predators. The urban environment can have a direct impact
 on the species living there but can also have indirect effects on their
 parasites and pathogens. To date, relatively few studies have measured how
 fine-scale spatial heterogeneity within urban landscapes can affect
 parasite transmission and persistence. Here we surveyed 237 greenspaces
 across the urban environment of Edinburgh (UK) to investigate how
 fine-scale variation in socio-economic and ecological variables can affect
 red fox (Vulpes vulpes) marking behaviour,  gastrointestinal (GI)
 parasite prevalence and parasite community diversity, We found that the
 presence and abundance of red fox faecal markings was non-uniformly
 distributed across greenspaces, and instead was dependent on the
 ecological characteristics of a site. Specifically, common foraging areas
 were left largely unmarked, which indicates that suitable resting and
 denning sites may be limiting factor in urban environments. In addition,
 the amount of greenspace around each site was positively correlated with
 overall GI parasite prevalence, species richness and diversity,
 highlighting the importance of greenspace (a commonly used measure of
 landscape connectivity) in determining the composition of the parasite
 community in urban areas. Our results suggest that fine scale variation
 within urban environments can be important for understanding the ecology
 of infectious diseases in urban wildlife and could have wider implication
 for the management of urban carnivores.

title: Seminal fluid protein divergence among populations exhibiting postmating prezygotic reproductive isolation

description: Despite holding a central role for fertilisation success, reproductive
 traits often show elevated rates of evolution and diversification. The
 rapid evolution of seminal fluid proteins (Sfps) within populations is
 predicted to cause mis-signalling between the male ejaculate and female
 reproductive tract between populations resulting in postmating prezygotic
 (PMPZ) isolation. Crosses between populations of Drosophila montana show
 PMPZ isolation in the form of reduced fertilisation success in both
 noncompetitive and competitive contexts. Here we test whether male
 ejaculate proteins deriving from either the accessory glands or the
 ejaculatory bulb differ between populations using liquid chromatography
 tandem mass spectrometry. We find more than 150 differentially abundant
 proteins between populations which may contribute to PMPZ isolation. These
 proteins include a number of proteases and peptidases, and several
 orthologs of D. melanogaster Sfps, all known to mediate fertilisation
 success and which mimic PMPZ isolation phenotypes. Males of one population
 typically produced greater quantities of Sfps and the strongest PMPZ
 isolation occurs in this direction. The accessory glands and ejaculatory
 bulb have different functions and the ejaculatory bulb contributes more to
 population differences than the accessory glands. Proteins with a
 secretory signal, but not Sfps, evolve faster than non-secretory proteins
 although the conservative criteria used to define Sfps may have impaired
 the ability to identify rapidly evolving proteins. We take advantage of
 quantitative proteomics data from three Drosophila species to determine
 shared and unique functional enrichments of Sfps that could be subject to
 selection between taxa and subsequently mediate PMPZ isolation. Our study
 provides the first high throughput quantitative proteomic evidence showing
 divergence of reproductive proteins implicated in the emergence of PMPZ
 isolation between populations.

title: Charts of TGA and FTIR of biopolemers and their resulted AgNPs

description: This work deals with evaluating the performance of silver nanoparticles
 (AgNPs) synthesized from sodium caseinate as green biological active
 agent, in comparison with famous used carboxymethyl cellulose and other
 carbohydrates (oxidized nanocellulose fibers (OC) and starch (St)). The
 TGA, FT-IR, TEM as well as its anti-biological behaviour toward gram
 negative bacteria, gram positive bacteria and Candida albicans .are
 examined. With regard to its anti-tumour activity, the evaluation is
 studied via many cancer cell lines against RPE1 (normal retina cell
 line)]. The data obtained reveal that, the SC-Ag(I) and CMC-Ag(I)
 complexes are formed in six and five-membered ring geometrical structures;
 respectively, as nanoparticles; while linear chelation structure is formed
 in case of OC-Ag (I) and St-Ag(I) complexes. The SC-AgNPs, provides
 greatest inhibition zone, especially +ve bacteria and fungus. It is
 recommended as promising and safety anti-cancer treating agents,
 especially towards HCT116 and PC3 (IC50 25.8 µg/ml & 45.1 µg/mL
 and SI 2.8-&gt;3.9).
description: Evidence of biopolymer-Ag complexes formation. - Estimation of
 reacted silver ions was determined by UV-visible Analysis according to Ref
 [29]. - FTIR Spectra: Infrared spectra were recorded with a Jasco FT/IR,
 Nicolet, and Model 670. The samples were mixed with KBr and pressed as
 tablets. The technique of Nelson and O’Connor [30] was used to calculate
 the crystallinity index (Cr.I). The mean strength of hydrogen bonds (MHBS)
 was calculated according to Levdik et al.[31]. - Thermogravimetric
 analysis (TGA): The non-isothermal TGA of the synthesized Ag- complexes in
 nanoparticle form, from different biopo;ymers was carried out by using
 Instrument SDT Q600 V20 Build 20 module (made at US), under nitrogen
 atmosphere at a heating rate of 10 oC/min. and temperature range from ~ 30
 oC to ~1000 oC. The calculations of TGA-measurements were carried out
 according to References [32, 33]

title: Data from: Environmental filtering of macroinvertebrate traits influences ecosystem functioning in a large river floodplain

description: The Biodiversity-Ecosystem Function hypothesis postulates that higher
 biodiversity is correlated with faster ecosystem process rates and
 increased ecosystem stability in fluctuating environments. Exhibiting high
 spatio-temporal habitat diversity, floodplains are highly productive
 ecosystems, supporting communities that are naturally resilient and highly
 diverse.  We examined linkages among floodplain wetland habitats,
 invertebrate communities and their associated traits, and ecosystem
 function across 60 sites within the floodplain wetlands of the lower
 Wolastoq | Saint John River, New Brunswick, using structural equation
 modelling and Threshold Indicator Taxa ANalysis (TITAN2).  We
 identified key environmental filters structuring invertebrate communities,
 by linking increased niche differentiation through shoreline change, flood
 pulse dynamics, and macrophyte bed complexity with increased taxa and
 functional diversity.  Examination of traits linked to ecosystem
 functions revealed that more resilient wetlands with balance between
 primary productivity and decomposition as carbon sources were associated
 with greater functional evenness and richness, while habitat patches with
 elevated decomposition rates had lower functional richness, reflecting a
 simplified, more disturbed habitat.  While our more complex
 overarching SEM model was ultimately compromised by an overspecified
 number of pathways, our results nevertheless are indicative of a
 divergence between wetland and riverine ecosystems in their relationships
 linking biodiversity and ecosystem function, illustrating how to define
 ecosystem health in wetland habitats, and demonstrating how critical
 functions support healthy wetland habitats by providing increased
 resilience to disturbance.
