title: Data from: Anisian (Middle Triassic) ammonoids from British Columbia (Canada): biochronological and palaeobiogeographic implications

description: New Anisian (Middle Triassic) ammonoids are reported from British Columbia
 (BC), Canada. Eight species are reported, including one new genus and two
 new species: Eufrechites roopnarini gen. et sp. nov. and Parafrechites
 cordeyi sp. nov. New ammonoid subzones are recognized, leading to improved
 correlation between BC and Nevada: the Hollandites minor Zone is
 correlated with the interval intercalated between the Unionvillites
 hadleyi Subzone and the Pseudodanubites nicholsi Subzone; an
 Eogymnotoceras thompsoni - Anagymnotoceras spivaki Zone is recognized in
 BC and correlated with the interval intercalated between the Augustaceras
 escheri and Anagymnotoceras spivaki subzones; Gymnotoceras weitschati is
 found in BC for the first time and co-occurred with Eogymnotoceras
 deleeni, suggesting either a rough correlation with the sum of G.
 weitschati, G. mimetus and G. rotelliformis zones of Nevada or a strong
 diachronism of G. weitschati and G. rotelliformis along the Palaeopacific
 margin of North America. The rare occurrences of low-palaeolatitude
 restricted species in the mid-palaeolatitude record indicate that
 exchanges were more frequent than previously documented during the
 Anisian. Despite of a preservation bias in north-eastern BC due to the
 lower carbonate content, it clearly emerges that the enhanced sampling
 effort leads to maximal association zones with duration of the same order
 of magnitude as those of Nevada, indicating that evolutionary turnover
 rates of ammonoids did not decrease toward higher latitude. Therefore, the
 common view that geographically differentiated evolutionary rates
 originates from the latitudinal gradient of taxonomic richness does not
 hold for Anisian ammonoid faunas along the Palaeopacific margin of North
 America.

title: Data from: Experimental demonstration of accelerated extinction in source-sink metapopulations

description: Population extinction is a fundamental ecological process which may be
 aggravated by the exchange of organisms between productive (source) and
 unproductive (sink) habitat patches. The extent to which such source-sink
 exchange affects extinction rates is unknown. We conducted an experiment
 in which metapopulation effects could be distinguished from source-sink
 effects in laboratory populations of Daphnia magna. Time-to-extinction in
 this experiment was maximized at intermediate levels of habitat
 fragmentation, which is consistent with a minority of theoretical models.
 These results provided a baseline for comparison with experimental
 treatments designed to detect effects of concentrating resources in source
 patches. These treatments showed that source-sink configurations increased
 population variability (the coefficient of variation in abundance) and
 extinction hazard compared with homogeneous environments. These results
 suggest that where environments are spatially heterogeneous, accurate
 assessments of extinction risk will require understanding the exchange of
 organisms among population sources and sinks. Such heterogeneity may be
 the norm rather than the exception because of both the intrinsic
 heterogeneity naturally exhibited by ecosystems and increasing habitat
 fragmentation by human activity.

title: Data from: Divergent host preferences of above- and below-ground Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae) and their hybrid offspring.

description: Culex pipiens form pipiens and Cx. pipiens form molestus (Diptera:
 Culicidae) belong to a cosmopolitan taxonomic group known as the Pipiens
 Assemblage. Hybridization between these forms is thought to contribute to
 human transmission of West Nile virus (WNV) in North America.
 Complementary choice and no-choice landing assays were developed to
 examine host acceptance by North American Cx. pipiens in the laboratory.
 Populations collected from above- and below-ground sites in suburban
 Chicago were identified as forms pipiens and molestus using a polymerase
 chain reaction-based assay. Avian and human host acceptance was then
 quantified for the two populations, as well as for their hybrid and
 backcross offspring. No-choice tests were used to demonstrate that both
 the pipiens and molestus forms were capable of feeding on human and avian
 hosts. Choice tests were used to demonstrate that form pipiens females
 were strongly avian-seeking; an individual's probability of accepting
 the chick host was 85%. Form molestus females were more likely to accept
 the human host (87%). Rates of host acceptance by F1 and backcross progeny
 were intermediate to those of their parents. The results suggest that host
 preferences in Cx. pipiens are genetically determined, and that ongoing
 hybridization between above- and below-ground populations is an important
 contributor to epizootic transmission of WNV in North America.

title: Data from: Contemporary land change alters fish communities in a San Francisco Bay drainage, California, U.S.A.

description: Urbanization is one of the leading threats to freshwater biodiversity, and
 urban regions continue to expand globally. Here we examined the
 relationship between recent urbanization and shifts in stream fish
 communities. We sampled fishes at 32 sites in the Alameda Creek Watershed,
 near San Francisco, California, in 1993–1994 and again in 2009, and we
 quantified univariate and multivariate changes in fish communities between
 the sampling periods. Sampling sites were classified into those downstream
 of a rapidly urbanizing area (“urbanized sites”), and those found in less
 impacted areas (“low-impacted sites”). We calculated the change from
 non-urban to urban land cover between 1993 and 2009 at two scales for each
 site (the total watershed and a 3km buffer zone immediately upstream of
 each site). Neither the mean relative abundance of native fish nor
 nonnative species richness changed significantly between the survey
 periods. However, we observed significant changes in fish community
 composition (as measured by Bray-Curtis dissimilarity) and a decrease in
 native species richness between the sampling periods at urbanized sites,
 but not at low-impacted sites. Moreover, the relative abundance of one
 native cyprinid (Lavinia symmetricus) decreased at the urbanized sites but
 not at low-impacted sites. Increased urbanization was associated with
 changes in the fish community, and this relationship was strongest at the
 smaller (3km buffer) scale. Our results suggest that ongoing land change
 alters fish communities and that contemporary resurveys are an important
 tool for examining how freshwater taxa are responding to recent
 environmental change.

title: Data from: Ecological implications of the correlation of avian footprints with wing characteristics: a mathematical approach

description: The characteristics of avian wings that evolved for flying appear to show
 a distinct relationship to the shape of the pes and walking abilities as
 reflected in footprints. Wing area, wing span and body weight data of
 modern birds were collected and analysed in order to quantify the possible
 correlation, which was previously only inferred from empirical data.
 Discriminant analysis demonstrated that avian wings can be divided into
 three habitat groups, in a similar way to footprints. Multiple regression
 analyses revealed that the avian wing loading and aspect ratio were
 correlated with the parameters of footprint shape and can be expressed by
 a simple equation. The results may reflect the adaptation of avian
 locomotion to habitat. The relationships between wing area and wing span,
 and between wing area and footprint area, which are apparent in modern
 avians, were derived and used to estimate wing area and wing span from the
 footprints of extinct Cretaceous avian taxa. The estimated values of body
 weight, wing span and wing area suggest that the trackmakers of
 Archaeornithipus meijidei, Hwangsanipes choughi and Yacoraitichnus avis
 had bodies similar to herons (or cranes), large sandpipers (or small sea
 birds) and medium-sized gull-like birds, respectively.

title: Data from: Predictors of alcohol consumption among in-school adolescents in the Central Region of Ghana: a baseline information for developing cognitive-behavioural interventions

description: Background and purpose: Despite a recent shift in school going
 adolescents' engagement in health compromising behaviours has serious
 socio-economic implications on developing societies, it is surprising that
 baseline information through research that would influence planned
 interventions is sparse. The purpose of this study was to investigate the
 prevalence of alcohol drinking behaviours among in-school adolescents in
 the Junior High Schools (JHS) in the Central Region of Ghana. Methods and
 results: Using a descriptive cross-sectional design, multistage sampling
 procedures were used to sample 1400 school going adolescents in JHS in the
 Central Region. Preliminary results using simple frequencies and
 percentages revealed 42% alcohol drinking prevalence in the region. High
 prevalence of drunkenness (73%, n = 405) and early exposure to alcohol
 drinking when students were in primary school (52%, n = 286) were noted.
 Community festivals and use of alcohol as a form of medicine were enabling
 factors of alcohol consumption in the region. Binary logistic regression
 analysis also showed that geographical location was a significant
 predictor of alcohol drinking among school going adolescents, with
 students in the southern and central part of the region at greater risks
 of drinking alcohol than those from the northern part (OR = .696, 95% CI =
 0.52-926, p = .013). However, no statistical significant variations were
 found in the odds of drinking alcohol within age (OR = 1.13, 95% CI =
 0.86-1.48, p = .370), gender (OR = .81, 95% CI = 0.65-1.01, p = .06),
 religious affiliation (OR = 1.33, 95% CI = 0.94-1.89, p = .10), parental
 communication (OR = .86, 95% CI = 0.66-1.06, p = .13), academic
 performance (OR = 1.07, 95% CI = 0.79-1.45, p = .05) and socioeconomic
 status (OR = 1.20, 95% CI = 0.95-1.53, p = .12). Conclusions: With this
 baseline data, it was recommended that schools' curricula should
 include preventive cognitive-behavioural interventions that teach drug
 resistance skills and anti-drug norms. These interventions would foster
 the development of requisite knowledge and social skills (e.g., developing
 competence) for resisting social and peer inﬂuences that may trigger
 alcohol use and perhaps other drugs. Potentially, the motivation for
 alcohol use among school going adolescents in the region would be
 minimized, if not prevented.

title: Data from: Maize-dominated landscapes reduce bumble bee colony growth through pollen diversity loss

description: 1. Bumble bees are important pollinators for a wide range of crops and
 wild plants. Performance of their colonies depends on pollen and nectar as
 food resources, but flowering plants are scarce in modern agricultural
 landscapes. It is well-known that semi-natural habitats can enhance floral
 resources and bumble bee abundance, but the impact of different crop types
 and their heterogeneity at the landscape scale remains unclear. 2. We
 tested the effect of two different crop types (oilseed rape (OSR) and
 maize) and of configurational (field border density) and compositional
 heterogeneity (crop diversity) on weight gain of buff-tailed bumble bee
 colonies (Bombus terrestris) colonies and the pollen diversity collected
 by them in 20 landscapes in Central Germany. 3. We found that augmenting
 maize cover had a detrimental effect on pollen diversity collected by the
 bumble bees, probably due to intensive management resulting in low plant
 diversity. This low pollen diversity translated into reduced colony
 growth, since colonies with high pollen diversity gained more weight than
 colonies with low pollen diversity. 4. In contrast, OSR cover,
 configurational and compositional heterogeneity did neither affect colony
 growth nor pollen diversity. However, for OSR the timing of the flowering
 period was important. When OSR fields had a high flower cover at the end
 of the OSR blooming period, colonies showed increased growth rates. 5.
 Synthesis and applications. Our results complement previous laboratory
 studies by showing that high pollen diversity leads to better colony
 performance under field conditions. Therefore, the maintenance of floral
 diversity in agricultural landscapes is crucial to ensure that bumble bees
 can fulfil their nutritional needs. However, the heterogeneity of crops,
 at least under the currently very low levels of crop rotation, does not
 contribute to this aim. In contrast, crop identity and timing of
 mass-flowering crops turned out to be important factors, as maize reduced
 pollen resources, while late blooming OSR oilseed rape was beneficial for
 bumble bee colonies. Hence, maize cover per landscape should be reduced
 and strategies to enhance landscape wide flower diversity, especially
 towards and after the end of oilseed rape bloom should be promoted to
 support bumble bee colonies that provide important pollination services.

title: Data from: Star-shaped trace fossil and Phymatoderma from Neogene deep-sea deposits in central Japan: probable echiuran feeding and fecal traces

description: A co-occurrence of the ichnogenus Phymatoderma and a star-shaped
 horizontal trace fossil was discovered from Neogene deep-marine deposits
 (Misaki Formation, central Japan), and is described herein for the first
 time. Phymatoderma consists of a straight to slightly curved tunnel that
 shows first- or second-order branches. The tunnels are 5.30–27.25 mm in
 diameter and are filled with ellipsoidal pellets. The relatively
 well-preserved star-shaped trace fossil is a large horizontal structure
 (~18 cm×19 cm) that consists of at least 10 spokes with diameters ranging
 from 11.49–20.96 mm. As compared to modern analogous surface-feeding
 traces produced by abyssal echiuran worms and their burrow morphology, it
 is highly likely that the star-shaped trace fossil and Phymatoderma found
 from the Misaki Formation are feeding and fecal traces of ancient deep-sea
 echiurans, respectively. Difference in preservation potential between
 surface and subsurface traces may result in rare occurrence of star-shaped
 trace fossils as compared to Phymatoderma. Microscopic observation of the
 pelletal infill of Phymatoderma also reveals that the trace-maker fed on
 organic debris and microorganisms such as diatoms and radiolaria.

title: Data from: Making a queen: an epigenetic analysis of the robustness of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) queen developmental pathway

description: Specialized castes are considered a key reason for the evolutionary and
 ecological success of the social insect lifestyle. The most essential
 caste distinction is between the fertile queen and the sterile workers.
 Honeybee (Apis mellifera) workers and queens are not genetically distinct,
 rather these different phenotypes are the result of epigenetically
 regulated divergent developmental pathways. This is an important
 phenomenon in understanding the evolution of social insect societies.
 Here, we studied the genomic regulation of the worker and queen
 developmental pathways, and the robustness of the pathways by
 transplanting eggs or young larvae to queen cells. Queens could be
 successfully reared from worker larvae transplanted up to 3 days age, but
 queens reared from older worker larvae had decreased queen body size and
 weight compared with queens from transplanted eggs. Gene expression
 analysis showed that queens raised from worker larvae differed from queens
 raised from eggs in the expression of genes involved in the immune system,
 caste differentiation, body development and longevity. DNA methylation
 levels were also higher in 3-day-old queen larvae raised from worker
 larvae compared with that raised from transplanted eggs identifying a
 possible mechanism stabilizing the two developmental paths. We propose
 that environmental (nutrition and space) changes induced by the commercial
 rearing practice result in a suboptimal queen phenotype via epigenetic
 processes, which may potentially contribute to the evolution of
 queen–worker dimorphism. This also has potentially contributed to the
 global increase in honeybee colony failure rates.
