title: Data from: The story of a hitchhiker: population genetic patterns in the invasive barnacle Balanus (Amphibalanus) improvisus Darwin 1854

description: Understanding the ecological and evolutionary forces that determine the
 genetic structure and spread of invasive species is a key component of
 invasion biology. The bay barnacle, Balanus improvisus (= Amphibalanus
 improvisus), is one of the most successful aquatic invaders worldwide, and
 is characterised by broad environmental tolerance. Although the species
 can spread through natural larval dispersal, human-mediated transport
 through (primarily) shipping has almost certainly contributed to the
 current global distribution of this species. Despite its worldwide
 distribution, little is known about the phylogeography of this species.
 Here, we characterize the population genetic structure and model dispersal
 dynamics of the barnacle B. improvisus, and describe how human-mediated
 spreading via shipping as well as natural larval dispersal may have
 contributed to observed genetic variation. We used both mitochondrial DNA
 (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I: COI) and nuclear microsatellites to
 characterize the genetic structure in 14 populations of B. improvisus on a
 global and regional scale (Baltic Sea). Genetic diversity was high in most
 populations, and many haplotypes were shared among populations on a global
 scale, indicating that long-distance dispersal (presumably through
 shipping and other anthropogenic activities) has played an important role
 in shaping the population genetic structure of this cosmopolitan species.
 We could not clearly confirm prior claims that B. improvisus originates
 from the western margins of the Atlantic coasts; although there were
 indications that Argentina could be part of a native region. In addition
 to dispersal via shipping, we show that natural larval dispersal may play
 an important role for further colonisation following initial introduction.

title: Data from: Interspecific geographic range size–body size relationship and the diversification dynamics of Neotropical Furnariid birds

description: Among the earliest macroecological patterns documented, is the range and
 body size relationship, characterized by a minimum geographic range size
 imposed by the species' body size. This boundary for the geographic
 range size increases linearly with body size and has been proposed to have
 implications in lineages evolution and conservation. Nevertheless, the
 macroevolutionary processes involved in the origin of this boundary and
 its consequences on lineage diversification has been poorly explored. We
 evaluate the macroevolutionary consequences of the difference (hereafter
 the distance) between the observed and the minimum range sizes required by
 the species' body size, to untangle its role on the diversification
 of a Neotropical species-rich bird clade using trait-dependent
 diversification models. We show that speciation rate is a positive
 hump-shaped function of the distance to the lower boundary. The species
 with highest and lowest distances to minimum range size had lower
 speciation rates, while species close to medium distances values had the
 highest speciation rates. Further, our results suggest that the distance
 to the minimum range size is a macroevolutionary constraint that affects
 the diversification process responsible for the origin of this
 macroecological pattern in a more complex way than previously envisioned.

title: Data from: The complexity of background clutter affects nectar bat use of flower odor and shape cues

description: Given their small size and high metabolism, nectar bats need to be able to
 quickly locate flowers during foraging bouts. Chiropterophilous plants
 depend on these bats for their reproduction, thus they also benefit if
 their flowers can be easily located, and we would expect that floral
 traits such as odor and shape have evolved to maximize detection by bats.
 However, relatively little is known about the importance of different
 floral cues during foraging bouts. In the present study, we undertook a
 set of flight cage experiments with two species of nectar bats (Anoura
 caudifer and A. geoffroyi) and artificial flowers to compare the
 importance of shape and scent cues in locating flowers. In a training
 phase, a bat was presented an artificial flower with a given shape and
 scent, whose position was constantly shifted to prevent reliance on
 spatial memory. In the experimental phase, two flowers were presented, one
 with the training-flower scent and one with the training-flower shape. For
 each experimental repetition, we recorded which flower was located first,
 and then shifted flower positions. Additionally, experiments were repeated
 in a simple environment, without background clutter, or a complex
 environment, with a background of leaves and branches. Results demonstrate
 that bats visit either flower indiscriminately with simple backgrounds,
 with no significant difference in terms of whether they visit the
 training-flower odor or training-flower shape first. However, in a complex
 background olfaction was the most important cue; scented flowers were
 consistently located first. This suggests that for well-exposed flowers,
 without obstruction from clutter, vision and/or echolocation are
 sufficient in locating them. In more complex backgrounds, nectar bats
 depend more heavily on olfaction during foraging bouts.

title: Data from: Effects of founding genetic variation on adaptation to a novel resource

description: Population genetic theory predicts that adaptation in novel environments
 is enhanced by genetic variation for fitness. However, theory also
 predicts that under strong selection, demographic stochasticity can drive
 populations to extinction before they can adapt. We exposed wheat-adapted
 populations of the flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum) to a novel
 suboptimal corn resource, to test the effects of founding genetic
 variation on population decline and subsequent extinction or adaptation.
 As previously reported, genetically diverse populations were less likely
 to go extinct. Here, we show that among surviving populations, genetically
 diverse groups recovered faster after initial population decline. Within
 two years, surviving populations significantly increased their fitness on
 corn via increased fecundity, increased egg survival, faster larval
 development, and higher rate of egg cannibalism. However, founding genetic
 variation only enhanced the increase in fecundity, despite existing
 genetic variation – and apparent lack of tradeoffs – for egg survival and
 larval development time. Thus, during adaptation to novel habitats the
 positive impact of genetic variation may be restricted to only a few
 traits, although change in many life-history traits may be necessary to
 avoid extinction. Despite severe initial maladaptation and low population
 size, genetic diversity can thus overcome predicted high extinction risk
 in new habitats.

title: Data from: Kin effects on energy allocation in group-living ground squirrels

description: The social environment has potent effects on individual phenotype and
 fitness in group-living species. We asked whether the presence of kin
 might act on energy allocation, a central aspect of life-history
 variation. Using a 22-year data set on reproductive and somatic
 allocations in Columbian ground squirrels (Urocitellus columbianus), we
 tested the effects of co-breeding and non-breeding kin on the fitness and
 energy allocation balance between reproduction and personal body condition
 of individual females. Greater numbers of co-breeding kin had a positive
 effect on the number of offspring weaned, through the mechanism of
 altering energy allocation patterns. On average, females with higher
 numbers of co-breeding kin did not increase energy income but biased
 energy allocation towards reproduction. Co-breeding female kin ground
 squirrels maintain close nest burrows, likely providing a social buffer
 against territorial invasions from non-kin ground squirrels. Lower
 aggressiveness, lower risks of infanticide from female kin and greater
 protection of territorial boundaries may allow individual females to
 derive net fitness benefits via their energy allocation strategies. We
 demonstrated the importance of kin effects on a fundamental life-history
 trade-off.

title: Data from: Behavioral changes in tadpoles after multigenerational exposure to an invasive intraguild predator

description: Prey subject to intraguild predation may face conflicting selective
 pressure on behavior, with competition favoring increased activity and
 predation favoring activity reduction. To discover how this evolutionary
 conflict might be resolved, we compared the behavior of tadpoles from four
 families drawn from different populations that had potentially co-evolved
 with an introduced intraguild predator for up to 90 years with the
 behavior of tadpoles from four families from unexposed populations.
 Intraguild prey were tadpoles of the declining California Red-legged Frog
 (Rana draytonii) and the intraguild predator was the invasive American
 Bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus), a voracious predator and strong
 competitor of other anurans. Limited evidence suggests that some native
 amphibians that have co-occurred with invasive predators for generations
 show adaptive behavioral responses to predator chemical cues. We tested
 whether R. draytonii larvae from families either allotopic or syntopic
 with bullfrogs would show responses to cues from overwintered bullfrog
 larvae. In the presence of cues, early-stage syntopic larvae decreased
 movement, consistent with an evolved innate defense, while allotopic
 larvae did not show behavioral changes. Later-stage syntopic larvae were
 generally more active than allotopic larvae, especially in the absence of
 cues, indicating a potential adaptive response to competition from
 bullfrog larvae. Increased activity appeared to be timed for when tadpoles
 became more resistant to predation. This is the first study to show
 changes in behavior across development consistent with complex selective
 pressure from an introduced intraguild predator. These findings have
 important implications for management of an endangered amphibian and a
 widely-introduced, invasive intraguild predator.

title: Data from: The effects of background risk on behavioural lateralization in a coral reef fish

description: Behavioural lateralization – the preferential use of one side of the body
 or either of the bilateral organs or limbs – has been well documented in
 many species, in a number of contexts. While the benefits reported are
 numerous, existing latent variability in the degree of lateralization
 within and across populations, species and taxa indicates that existing
 costs may modulate its expression. Few studies have reported changes in
 the degree of lateralization at the individual level, in response to
 long-term changes in environmental conditions, but not in response to
 short-term changes in environmental conditions. Predation is highly
 variable both temporally and spatially and hence is a good candidate for
 testing lateralization effects based on short-term changes in
 environmental conditions. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the degree
 of behavioural lateralization changes following short-term exposure to
 different levels of risk. We tested whether wild-caught juvenile
 damselfish exposed to a high or low background level of risk for 4 days
 would subsequently differ in their turning bias, a trait that has been
 linked to predator escape behaviour in fishes. We found that 4 days is
 enough to induce a difference in the absolute lateralization scores of the
 fish, with high-risk fish being more strongly lateralized than low-risk
 fish. Practically, this difference stemmed from decreasing lateralization
 scores for newly recruiting coral reef fishes that were kept in low-risk
 environments, with the concurrent maintenance of higher lateralization
 scores for fish maintained under high-risk conditions. Fish from the
 high-risk background had higher survival than those from the low-risk
 background upon release into mesocosms containing reef predators. Our
 study highlights how early exposure to differential predation risk affects
 the degree of behavioural lateralization. Given the profound effects of
 lateralization on many aspects of an animal's life from its ability
 to discriminate conspecifics to how it forages and interacts during
 agonistic interactions, predation risk may be a key driver of animal
 development.

title: Data from: Reproductive isolation in the acoustically divergent groups of Tettigoniid, Mecopoda elongata

description: Sympatric divergent populations of the same species provide an opportunity
 to study the evolution and maintenance of reproductive isolation. Male
 mating calls are important in sexual selection acoustically communicating
 species, and they also have the potential to maintain isolation among
 species or incipient species. We studied divergent south Indian
 populations of the bush cricket Mecopoda elongata which are extremely
 difficult to distinguish morphologically, but which exhibit striking
 divergence in male acoustic signals. We performed phonotactic experiments
 investigating the relative preference of females of the
 "Chirper" song type for calls of all 5 of the song types found
 in the region (in varying degrees of sympatry). We found that Chirper
 females preferred their own song type and were completely unresponsive to
 three trilling song types. Chirper females were occasionally attracted to
 the call type "Double Chirper" (the call most similar to their
 own type), suggesting call preference alone cannot provide a complete
 isolating mechanism. To investigate the basis of call preference we
 investigated the response of chirper females to variation in chirp rate.
 Chirper females responded most frequently to a mean chirp rate
 characteristic of their own song type rather than a higher chirp rate
 which would be more characteristic of the Double-Chirper song type. This
 suggests females drive stabilising selection on male chirp rate, which may
 contribute to the maintenance of isolation. Finally, a no-choice mating
 experiment using Chirper females and Chirper and Double Chirper males
 revealed a significant preference of Chirper females to mate with their
 own song type, even without a requirement for phonotaxis. Overall, the
 strong specificity of Chirper females for their 'own' song type
 provides evidence for behavioural isolation among divergent sympatric
 Mecopoda song types being maintained by female preference for both male
 song type and subsequent mating probability driven by other cues.

title: Data from: Genetic structuring and recent demographic history of red pandas (Ailurus fulgens) inferred from microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA

description: Clarification of the genetic structure and population history of a species
 can shed light on impacts of landscapes, historical climate change and
 contemporary human activities, and thus enables evidence-based
 conservation decisions for endangered organisms. The red panda (Ailurus
 fulgens) is an endangered species distributing at the edge of the
 Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and is currently subject to habitat loss,
 fragmentation and population decline, thus representing a good model to
 test the influences of the above factors on a plateau edge species. We
 combined nine microsatellite loci and 551 bp of mitochondrial control
 region (mtDNA CR) to explore the genetic structure and demographic history
 of this species. 123 individuals were sampled from 23 locations across
 five populations. High levels of genetic variation were identified for
 both mtDNA and microsatellites. Phylogeographic analyses indicated little
 geographic structure, suggesting historically wide gene flow. However,
 microsatellite-based Bayesian clustering clearly identified three groups
 (Qionglai-Liangshan, Xiaoxiangling and Gaoligong-Tibet). A significant
 isolation-by-distance pattern was detected only after removing
 Xiaoxiangling. For mtDNA data there was no statistical support for a
 historical population expansion or contraction for the whole sample or any
 population except Xiaoxiangling where a signal of contraction was
 detected. However, Bayesian simulations of population history using
 microsatellite data did pinpoint population declines for Qionglai,
 Xiaoxiangling and Gaoligong, demonstrating significant influences of human
 activity on demography. The unique history of the Xiaoxiangling population
 plays a critical role in shaping the genetic structure of this species,
 and large-scale habitat loss and fragmentation is hampering gene flow
 among populations. The implications of our findings for the biogeography
 of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, subspecies classification and conservation
 of red pandas are discussed.

title: Data from: Kin selection may contribute to lek evolution and trait introgression across an avian hybrid zone

description: Understanding the mechanism(s) that favor cooperation among individuals
 competing for the same resources provides direct insights into the
 evolution of grouping behaviour. In a hybrid zone between
 golden/yellow-collared (Manacus vitellinus) and white-collared (M. candei)
 manakins, males form aggregations composed of white and yellow males
 solely to attract females (“mixed leks”). Previous work shows that yellow
 males in these mixed leks experience a clear mating advantage over white
 males, resulting in the preferential introgression of yellow plumage
 allele(s) into the white species. However, the yellow male mating
 advantage only occurs in mixed leks with high frequency of yellow males
 and only a few of these males likely mate. Hence, it remains unclear why
 unsuccessful males join leks. Here, we used microsatellite markers to
 estimate pair-wise relatedness among males within and between leks to test
 if indirect genetic benefits of helping kin (“kin selection”) can promote
 grouping. We found that yellow males are significantly more related to
 each other within than between leks, while relatedness among white males
 did not differ within and between leks. This suggests that yellow males
 may indirectly enhance their own reproductive success by preferentially
 lekking with relatives because yellow plumage is under positive frequency
 dependent selection. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that
 kin selection may promote grouping and facilitate positive frequency
 dependent selection for yellow males, mediating the movement of yellow
 plumage across this hybrid zone.
