title: Data from: The effectiveness and costs of pathogen resistance strategies in a perennial plant

description: Plants have evolved different strategies to resist pathogens, but little
 is known about how effective, stable and costly these mechanisms are in
 perennial plants across multiple growing seasons. We conducted a
 laboratory experiment to assess resistance variation in Plantago
 lanceolata against the powdery mildew-causing fungus Podosphaera
 plantaginis and to measure possible trade-offs between the different
 resistance strategies. To test stability and costs of resistance, we
 established common garden populations of plants possessing three different
 resistance strategies: qualitative resistance that is the ability to block
 pathogen infection, quantitative resistance that is the ability to
 mitigate pathogen development and susceptibility. We measured their
 performance with and without disease for 3 years. There were no trade-offs
 between qualitative and quantitative resistance, and the components of
 quantitative resistance were positively correlated. Throughout the 3-year
 common garden study, pathogen loads were significantly affected by host
 resistance in the study populations. Qualitative resistance efficiently
 blocked infections but contrary to laboratory obtained results;
 quantitative resistance did not hinder epidemic growth. We detected costs
 in plant performance for qualitative and quantitative resistance compared
 to susceptible plants in absence of the pathogen. The costs of infection
 varied according to resistance strategy, pathogen load and plant age.
 Synthesis. In perennial plants, the costs and benefits of resistance need
 to be evaluated over multiple years as they may change with plant age. Our
 results give new insights into how polymorphism in resistance can be
 maintained through costs of resistance in plant performance and through
 shifts in resource allocation between vegetative growth and reproduction
 under infection.

title: Data from: Postglacial climate and fire-mediated vegetation change on the western Olympic Peninsula, Washington

description: The mode and tempo of forest compositional change during periods of rapid
 climate change, including the potential for the fire regime to produce
 non-linear relationships between climate and vegetation, is a
 long-standing theme of forest ecological research. In the old conifer
 forests of the coastal Pacific Northwest, fire disturbances are
 sufficiently rare that their relation to climate and their ecological
 effects are poorly understood. We used a 14,700-year high-resolution
 sediment record from Yahoo Lake on the Olympic Peninsula to examine
 vegetation (landscape vegetation from pollen and local vegetation from
 macrofossils) and fire (landscape fire from total charcoal and local fire
 from charcoal peaks) in conjunction with independent records of climate.
 We hypothesized that the successional stage of the local forest will
 exhibit alternate stable states over a range of fire activity, that
 species turnover will increase abruptly above a certain level of fire
 activity and that both responses would be more gradual at the landscape
 scale than the local scale. Supporting these hypotheses, at the local
 scale we found strong evidence for alternate stable states of late vs.
 early successional communities and inertia of species turnover to changing
 fire activity. At the landscape scale, vegetation responded more gradually
 to changing fire activity. From 14,700 to 7000 years ago, high landscape
 vegetation turnover occurred along with high landscape fire activity,
 especially during the warm summers of the early Holocene. In several
 instances local species turned over completely following fire events but
 several centuries after climate change. In contrast, during the last 7000
 years the local forest composition was dominated by late-successional
 species with little species turnover despite periods of moderate fire
 activity. We suggest that the relatively minor climate fluctuations of the
 past 7000 years were not sufficient to cause large-scale species turnover
 after fire. The Yahoo Lake fire and vegetation record of the early
 Holocene provides a model for dramatic ecosystem change following an
 anticipated shift to warmer summer temperatures.

title: Data from: The costs of parasite infection: effects of removing lungworms on performance, growth and survival of free-ranging cane toads

description: 1.Most research on the effects of parasites on their hosts has focused on
 the parasites of mammals or birds (especially, domesticated taxa) rather
 than systems in which the hosts are ectothermic wildlife species. 2.We
 used experimental methods (antihelminthic drugs) to quantify the effects
 of lungworms (Rhabdias pseudosphaerocephala) on their anuran hosts, the
 invasive cane toad (Rhinella marina). 3.In captivity, eradicating
 lungworms enhanced toad activity (measures of boldness and level of
 spontaneous activity), performance (locomotor speed, climbing ability),
 and foraging success (feeding rate). 4.In free-ranging toads (n = 123) at
 a site in tropical Australia, eradicating lungworm infection increased
 rates of host survival by 8%, movement by 20%, growth by 28% and
 elaboration of male secondary sexual characteristics by 30%. The presence
 of the lungworm thus has a substantial negative effect on fitness-related
 traits of the host. 5.Given their long shared evolutionary history and the
 mild inflammatory and immune response elicited by the parasite in the
 host, the magnitude of the effects of parasite removal were surprising.
 Parasites may impose hidden costs, related to modification of host
 behaviour or metabolism. Experimental removal of parasites can be a useful
 means of quantifying costs of infection.

title: Data from: Testing for beneficial reversal of dominance during salinity shifts in the invasive copepod Eurytemora affinis, and implications for the maintenance of genetic variation

description: Maintenance of genetic variation at loci under selection has profound
 implications for adaptation under environmental change. In temporally and
 spatially varying habitats, non-neutral polymorphism could be maintained
 by heterozygote advantage across environments (marginal overdominance),
 which could be greatly increased by beneficial reversal of dominance
 across conditions. We tested for reversal of dominance and marginal
 overdominance in salinity tolerance in the salt-to-freshwater invading
 copepod Eurytemora affinis. We compared survival of F1 offspring generated
 by crossing saline and freshwater inbred lines (between-salinity F1
 crosses) relative to within-salinity F1 crosses, across three salinities.
 We found evidence for both beneficial reversal of dominance and marginal
 overdominance in salinity tolerance. In support of reversal of dominance,
 survival of between-salinity F1 crosses was not different from that of
 freshwater F1 crosses under freshwater conditions and saltwater F1 crosses
 under saltwater conditions. In support of marginal overdominance,
 between-salinity F1 crosses exhibited significantly higher survival across
 salinities relative to both freshwater and saltwater F1 crosses. Our study
 provides a rare empirical example of complete beneficial reversal of
 dominance associated with environmental change. This mechanism might be
 crucial for maintaining genetic variation in salinity tolerance in E.
 affinis populations, allowing rapid adaptation to salinity changes during
 habitat invasions.

title: Data from: The evolution of hominoid cranial diversity: a quantitative genetic approach

description: Hominoid cranial evolution is characterized by substantial phenotypic
 diversity, yet the cause of this variability has rarely been explored.
 Quantitative genetic techniques for investigating evolutionary processes
 underlying morphological divergence are dependent on the availability of
 good ancestral models, a problem in hominoids where the fossil record is
 fragmentary and poorly understood. Here, we use a maximum likelihood
 approach based on a Brownian motion model of evolutionary change to
 estimate nested hypothetical ancestral forms from 15 extant hominoid taxa.
 These ancestors were then used to calculate rates of evolution along each
 branch of a phylogenetic tree using Lande’s generalized genetic distance.
 Our results show that hominoid cranial evolution is characterized by
 strong stabilizing selection. Only two instances of directional selection
 were detected; the divergence of Homo from its last common ancestor with
 Pan, and the divergence of the lesser apes from their last common ancestor
 with the great apes. In these two cases, selection gradients reconstructed
 to identify the specific traits undergoing selection indicated that
 selection on basicranial flexion, cranial vault expansion and facial
 retraction characterizes the divergence of Homo, whereas the divergence of
 the lesser apes was defined by selection on neurocranial size reduction.

title: Data from: Establishing detection thresholds for environmental DNA using receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves

description: Environmental DNA (eDNA) detection is increasingly being used to assess
 the potential presence of aquatic species. Setting defensible thresholds
 for qPCR assays are necessary to differentiate “detection” from
 “non-detection”, but threshold rationales are rarely reported in eDNA
 studies. Detection thresholds for data inclusion and exclusion have
 implications for downstream data analysis; uncritical acceptance could
 result in false positive results (Type I error), whereas overly
 conservative thresholds could result in high false negative interpretation
 (Type II error). We assessed the use of the receiver operator
 characteristics (ROC) framework to identify a detection threshold for
 balancing sensitivity and specificity of eDNA data. The ROC framework was
 tested using empirical eDNA data from redside dace (Clinostomus
 elongatus), an endangered freshwater fish in southwestern Ontario. Based
 on negative controls, positive controls, and quality assurance guidelines,
 a minimum concentration of 1 copy reaction−1 was identified as the most
 appropriate threshold for this study. Although optimal thresholds will
 likely vary between studies and labs based on empirical data, the ROC
 framework provides a statistical method for establishing defensible
 thresholds for data acceptance or rejection as well as tradeoffs between
 the sensitivity and specificity of eDNA data.

title: Data from: Dioecy, more than monoecy, affects plant spatial genetic structure: the case study of Ficus

description: In this analysis, we attempt to understand how monoecy and dioecy drive
 spatial genetic structure (SGS) in plant populations. For this purpose,
 plants of the genus Ficus were used as a comparative model due to their
 particular characteristics, including high species diversity, variation in
 life histories, and sexual systems. One of the main issues we assessed is
 whether dioecious fig tree populations are more spatially genetically
 structured than monoecious populations. Using the Sp statistic, which
 allows for quantitative comparisons among different studies, we compared
 the extent of SGS between monoecious and dioecious Ficus species. To
 broaden our conclusions we used published data on an additional 27
 monoecious and dioecious plant species. Furthermore, genetic diversity
 analyses were performed for two monoecious Ficus species using 12
 microsatellite markers in order to strengthen our conclusions about SGS.
 Our results show that dioecy, more than monoecy, significantly contributes
 to SGS in plant populations. On average, the estimate of Sp was six times
 higher for dioecious Ficus species than monoecious Ficus species and it
 was two times higher in dioecious than monoecious plant species.
 Considering these results, we emphasize that the long-distance pollen
 dispersal mechanism in monoecious Ficus species seems to be the dominant
 factor in determining weak spatial genetic structure, high levels of
 genetic diversity, and lack of inbreeding. Although Ficus constitute a
 model species to study SGS, a more general comparison encompassing a wider
 range of plants is required in order to better understand how sexual
 systems affect genetic structure.

title: Data from: The demography of a resource specialist in the tropics: Cecropia trees and the fitness of three-toed sloths

description: Resource specialists persist on a narrow range of resources. Consequently,
 the abundance of key resources should drive vital rates, individual
 fitness and population viability. While Neotropical forests feature both
 high levels of biodiversity and numbers of specialist species, no studies
 have directly evaluated how the variation of key resources affects the
 fitness of a tropical specialist. Here, we quantified the effect of key
 tree species density and forest cover on the fitness of three-toed sloths
 (Bradypus variegatus), an arboreal folivore strongly associated with
 Cecropia trees, in Costa Rica using a multi-year demographic, genetic and
 space use dataset. We found that the density of Cecropia trees was
 strongly and positively related to both adult survival and reproductive
 output. A matrix model parameterized with Cecropia-demography
 relationships suggested positive growth of sloth populations, even at low
 densities of Cecropia (0.7 trees/ha). Our study shows the first direct
 link between the density of a key resource to demographic consequences of
 a tropical specialist, underscoring the sensitivity of tropical
 specialists to the loss of a single key resource, but also point to
 targeted conservation measures to increase that resource. Finally, our
 study reveals that previously disturbed and regenerating environments can
 support viable populations of tropical specialists.

title: Data from: Impact of population structure on genetic diversity of a potential vaccine target in the canine hookworm (Ancylostoma caninum)

description: Ancylostoma caninum is a globally distributed canine parasitic nematode.
 To test whether positive selection, population structure, or both affect
 genetic variation at the candidate vaccine target Ancylostoma secreted
 protein 1 (asp-1), we have quantified the genetic variation in A. caninum
 at asp-1 and a mitochondrial gene, cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (cox-1),
 using the statistical population analysis tools found in the SNAP
 Workbench. The mitochondrial gene cox-1 exhibits moderate diversity within
 2 North American samples, comparable to the level of variation observed in
 other parasitic nematodes. The protein coding portion for the C-terminal
 half of asp-1 shows similar levels of genetic variation in a Wake County,
 North Carolina, sample as cox-1. Standard tests of neutrality provide
 little formal evidence for selection acting on this locus, but haplotype
 networks for 2 of the exon regions have significantly different
 topologies, consistent with different evolutionary forces shaping
 variation at either end of a 1.3-kilobase stretch of sequence. Evidence
 for gene flow among geographically distinct samples suggests that the
 mobility of hosts of A. caninum is an important contributing factor to the
 population structure of the parasite.
