title: Data from: Choice of resolution by functional trait or taxonomy affects allometric scaling in soil food webs

description: Belowground organisms often display a shift in their mass-abundance
 scaling relationships due to environmental factors such as soil chemistry
 and atmospheric deposition. Here we present new empirical data that show
 strong differences in allometric scaling according to whether the
 resolution at the local scale is based on a taxonomic or a functional
 classification, while only slight differences arise according to soil
 environmental conditions. For the first time, isometry (an inverse 1∶1
 proportion) is recognized in mass-abundance relationships, providing a
 functional signal for constant biomass distribution in soil biota
 regardless of discrete trophic levels. Our findings are in contrast to
 those from aquatic ecosystems, in that higher trophic levels in soil biota
 are not a direct function of increasing body mass.

title: Data from: The contrasting roles of host species diversity and parasite population genetic diversity in the infection dynamics of a keystone parasitic plant

description: 1) Diversity among species and genetic diversity within species are both
 important components of ecological communities that can determine the
 outcome of species interactions, especially between hosts and parasites.
 We sought to understand the impact of species diversity on host community
 resistance to infection by a keystone parasitic plant (Rhinanthus minor
 L.) and genetic diversity of the parasite on its successful establishment
 in a grassland community. 2) We used an experimental approach where large
 pots were planted with mixtures of mesotrophic grassland species at high
 and low species diversity. The parasitic plant was sown in a proportion of
 these with high and low genetic diversity treatments. Establishment of the
 parasite was monitored over two years and the pots harvested at the end of
 each growing season to determine the impact of infection on plant
 community biomass. 3) We found a strong effect of host plant species
 diversity on the establishment of the parasitic plant, with successful
 establishment considerably lower in the high species diversity treatment.
 Genetic diversity appeared to promote establishment of the parasite in the
 high species diversity treatment, and also facilitated longer-term fitness
 in the low species diversity treatment. Host community structure was
 influenced by R. minor, with grass relative biomass decreasing and legume
 relative biomass increasing when the parasite was present. There was no
 direct impact of the presence of the parasite on the relative biomass of
 non-leguminous forbs. 4) Synthesis: Our data demonstrate the importance of
 host community species diversity in deterring the establishment of a
 generalist parasite. They also highlight the role of genetic diversity in
 determining the outcome of host-parasite interactions in multi-species
 communities. These findings, therefore, have important implications for
 the establishment and management of species rich grasslands and provide
 insight into the community dynamics of parasitic plants and their hosts.

title: Data from: Untangling interactions: do temperature and habitat fragmentation gradients simultaneously impact biotic relationships?

description: Gaining insight into the impact of anthropogenic change on ecosystems
 requires investigation into interdependencies between multiple drivers of
 ecological change and multiple biotic responses. Global environmental
 change drivers can act simultaneously to impact the abundance and
 diversity of biota, but few studies have also measured the impact across
 trophic levels. We firstly investigated whether climate (using temperature
 differences across a latitudinal gradient as a surrogate) interacts with
 habitat fragmentation (measured according to fragment area and distance to
 habitat edges) to impact a New Zealand tri-trophic food chain (plant,
 herbivore and natural enemy). Secondly, we examined how these interactions
 might differentially impact both the density and biotic processes of
 species at each of the three trophic levels. We found evidence to suggest
 that these drivers act non-additively across trophic levels. The nature of
 these interactions however varied: location synergistically interacted
 with fragmentation measures to exacerbate the detrimental effects on
 consumer density; and antagonistically interacted to ameliorate the impact
 on plant density and on the interactions between trophic levels (herbivory
 and parasitoid attack rate). Our findings indicate that the ecological
 consequences of multiple global change drivers are strongly interactive
 and vary according to the trophic level studied and whether density or
 ecological processes are investigated.

title: Data from: Forest restoration and parasitoid wasp communities in montane Hawai'i

description: Globally, most restoration efforts focus on re-creating the physical
 structure (flora or physical features) of a target ecosystem with the
 assumption that other ecosystem components will follow. Here we
 investigate that assumption by documenting biogeographical patterns in an
 important invertebrate taxon, the parasitoid wasp family Ichneumonidae, in
 a recently reforested Hawaiian landscape. Specifically, we test the
 influence of (1) planting configurations (corridors versus patches), (2)
 vegetation age, (3) distance from mature native forest, (4) surrounding
 tree cover, and (5) plant community composition on ichneumonid richness,
 abundance, and composition. We sampled over 7,000 wasps, 96.5% of which
 were not native to Hawai’i. We found greater relative richness and
 abundance of ichneumonids, and substantially different communities, in
 restored areas compared to mature forest and abandoned pasturelands.
 Non-native ichneumonids drive these differences; restored areas and native
 forest did not differ in native ichneumonid abundance. Among restored
 areas, ichneumonid communities did not differ by planting age or
 configuration. As tree cover increased within 120 m of a sampling point,
 ichneumonid community composition increasingly resembled that found in
 native forest. Similarly, native ichneumonid abundance increased with
 proximity to native forest. Our results suggest that restoration
 plantings, if situated near target forest ecosystems and in areas with
 higher local tree cover, can facilitate restoration of native fauna even
 in a highly invaded system.

title: Data from: Maternal effects are no match for stressful conditions: a test of the maternal match hypothesis in a common zooplankter.

description: 1. Maternal effects modulate population responses to environmental
 conditions and so are predicted to play a large role in the responses of
 organisms to global change. 2. In response to one such aspect of global
 change, the eutrophication of freshwaters and associated blooms of the
 toxin-producing cyanobacteria species Microcystis aeruginosa, the rotifer
 Brachionus calyciflorus produces larger offspring. 3. We hypothesized that
 rotifers exposed to Microcystis may be adaptively increasing offspring
 investment and offspring fitness (i.e. the maternal match hypothesis). 4.
 We explicitly tested the consequences of this differential investment by
 rearing offspring produced by rotifers reared under Microcystis and the
 nontoxigenic green alga Chlamydomonas in a full factorial design, where
 offspring were raised under the maternal diet or the opposite food source.
 5. We measured age-specific fecundity, survival, and population growth
 rates under these conditions and found that maternal exposure to
 Microcystis decreased offspring survival and fecundity, regardless of
 offspring diet. Population growth rates, tested using aster models,
 differed significantly among maternal and neonate diets, but there was no
 significant interaction between the two factors. 6. Our evidence thus
 leads us to reject the maternal match hypothesis in this case of
 rotifer-toxigenic algal bloom interactions and provides further support
 that toxigenic algal blooms may have extensive effects on grazer
 populations in ways that are not evaluated using traditional,
 single-generation experimental methods.

title: Data from: Individuality in northern lapwing migration and its link to timing of breeding

description: We tracked eight adult northern lapwings, Vanellus vanellus, (six females
 and two males) from a Dutch breeding colony by light-level geolocation
 year-round, three of them for multiple years. We show that birds breeding
 virtually next to each other may choose widely separated wintering
 grounds, stretching from nearby the colony west towards the UK and
 Ireland, and southwest through France into Iberia and Morocco. However,
 individual lapwings appeared relatively faithful to a chosen wintering
 area, and timing of outward and homeward migration can be highly
 consistent between years. Movements of migratory individuals were usually
 direct and fast, with some birds covering distances of approximately 2000
 km within 2 to 4 days of travel. The two males wintered closest and
 returned earliest to the breeding colony. The female lapwings returned
 well before the onset of breeding, spending a pre-laying period of 19 to
 54 days in the wider breeding area. Despite the potential for high
 migration speeds, the duration that birds were absent from the breeding
 area increased with distance to wintering areas, a pattern which was
 mainly driven by an earlier outward migration of birds heading for more
 distant wintering grounds. Moreover, females that overwintered closer to
 colony bred earlier. A large variation in migration strategies found even
 within a single breeding colony has likely supported the species’
 responsiveness to recent climate change as evidenced by a shortened
 migration distance and an advanced timing of reproduction in Dutch
 lapwings since the middle of the 20th century.

title: Data from: Interplay between fungicides and parasites: tebuconazole, but not copper, suppresses infection in a Daphnia-Metschnikowia experimental model

description: Natural populations are commonly exposed to complex stress scenarios,
 including anthropogenic contamination and their biological enemies (e.g.,
 parasites). The study of the pollutant-parasite interplay is especially
 important, given the need for adequate regulations to promote improved
 ecosystem protection. In this study, a host-parasite model system (Daphnia
 spp. and the microparasitic yeast Metschnikowia bicuspidata) was used to
 explore the reciprocal effects of contamination by common agrochemical
 fungicides (copper sulphate and tebuconazole) and parasite challenge. We
 conducted 21-day life history experiments with two host clones exposed to
 copper (0.00, 25.0, 28.8 and 33.1 μg L-1) or tebuconazole (0.00, 154, 192
 and 240 μg L-1), in the absence or presence of the parasite. For each
 contaminant, the experimental design consisted of 2 Daphnia clones × 4
 contaminant concentrations × 2 parasite treatments × 20 replicates = 320
 experimental units. Copper and tebuconazole decreased Daphnia survival or
 reproduction, respectively, whilst the parasite strongly reduced host
 survival. Most importantly, while copper and parasite effects were mostly
 independent, tebuconazole suppressed infection. In a follow-up experiment,
 we tested the effect of a lower range of tebuconazole concentrations
 (0.00, 6.25, 12.5, 25.0, 50.0 and 100 μg L-1) crossed with increasing
 parasite challenge (2 Daphnia clones × 6 contaminant concentrations × 2
 parasite levels × 20 replicates = 480 experimental units). Suppression of
 infection was confirmed at environmentally relevant concentrations
 (&gt; 6.25 μg L-1), irrespective of the numbers of parasite challenge.
 The ecological consequences of such a suppression of infection include
 interferences in host population dynamics and diversity, as well as
 community structure and energy flow across the food web, which could
 upscale to ecosystem level given the important role of parasites.

title: Data from: Integrating complementary methods to improve diet analysis in fishery-targeted species

description: Developing efficient, reliable, cost-effective ways to identify diet is
 required to understand trophic ecology in complex ecosystems and improve
 food web models. A combination of techniques, each varying in their
 ability to provide robust, spatially and temporally explicit information
 can be applied to clarify diet data for ecological research. This study
 applied an integrative analysis of a fishery-targeted species group -
 Plectropomus spp.in the central Great Barrier Reef, Australia by comparing
 three diet-identification approaches. Visual stomach content analysis
 provided poor identification with ~14% of stomachs sampled resulting in
 identification to family or lower. A molecular approach was successful
 with prey from ~80% of stomachs identified to genus or species, often with
 several unique prey in a stomach. Stable isotope mixing models utilising
 experimentally-derived assimilation data, identified similar prey as the
 molecular technique but at broader temporal scales, particularly when
 prior diet information was incorporated. Overall, Caesionidae and
 Pomacentridae were the most abundant prey families (&gt;50% prey
 contribution) for all Plectropomus spp., highlighting the importance of
 planktivorous prey. Less abundant prey categories differed among
 species/colour phases indicating possible niche segregation. This study is
 one of the first to demonstrate the extent of taxonomic resolution
 provided by molecular techniques, and, like other studies, illustrates
 that temporal investigations of dietary patterns are more accessible in
 combination with stable isotopes. The consumption of mainly planktivorous
 prey within this species group has important implications within coral
 reef foodwebs and provides cautionary information regarding the effects
 that changing resources could have in reef ecosystems.
