title: Data from: Life history, growth, and reproductive biology of four mobulid species in the Bohol Sea, Philippines

description: This study focuses on female life-history parameters and reproductive
 cycles for four mobulid rays (Mobula thurstoni, Mo. japanica, Mo.
 tarapacana, and Manta birostris) caught in a targeted fishery in the
 Philippines. We collected size and reproductive data from 1,510 specimens
 (30% of catch) landed in two seasons in 2015 and 2016. Sexual maturity was
 assessed by visual examination of 1,034 specimens, to determine
 size-at-maturity and size-at-pregnancy. Females of all species matured at
 a larger size than males. Pregnancy ogives were estimated for all species
 except Mo. tarapacana, and shifted to the right of female maturity ogives,
 suggesting that only a small percentage of the female reproduce upon
 reaching sexual maturity. We report an aseasonal reproductive cycle at the
 population level for both Mo. thurstoni and Ma. birostris due to the
 absence of specific ovulation cycle and the wide size ranges of embryos
 examined throughout the months. The development of the follicles is not
 always synchronous with gestation, supporting the theory of a resting
 period between pregnancies. Our results show the low reproductive
 potential of these species and their conservative life history, and
 suggest that population growth rates previously reported are an
 overestimate.

title: Data from: Tree-growth is more sensitive than species distributions to recent changes in climate and acidic deposition in the northeastern United States

description: Tree-growth responses to environmental change could provide early
 detection of shifts in forest composition and help facilitate ecosystem
 management and conservation. We studied forest tree responses to recent
 trends in climate and acidic deposition using analyses of tree rings and
 long-term climate, deposition and forest plot data along an elevational
 climatic gradient in the northeastern United States. We analyzed how (a)
 individual growth of dominant species (Picea rubens, Abies balsamea), and
 (b) spatial distributions of all species, changed with elevation over time
 due to changing environment. We observed a mean 220 m upslope shift of
 temperature envelopes since the 1960s, consistent with regional climate
 warming, but found no evidence of synchronous upslope shifts in species
 abundance. Species’ ranges were stable although some leaned upslope or
 downslope, suggesting species-specific migration lags or controls on
 species’ ranges. Compared to species distributions, the growth of dominant
 species was more responsive to environmental change. Although the basal
 area of P. rubens declined within its range since the 1960s, its growth
 has increased recently with increasing precipitation pH and to a lesser
 extent with warming climate. Abies balsamea has gradually increased in
 both basal area and density since the 1960s, with its growth responding to
 precipitation pH but not climate. Historically, P. rubens grew better at
 lower and A. balsamea at higher elevations, but these elevation effects
 appeared to be mediated primarily by moisture, and have disappeared over
 time. Synthesis and applications. Mean tree-growth responses to changing
 climate (temperature, moisture) and precipitation chemistry were more
 consistent and more clearly detectable than shifts in tree species’
 ranges, suggesting that monitoring tree growth across
 climatically-controlled species’ ranges (e.g. along elevational or
 latitudinal gradients) may provide a powerful tool for early detection of
 potential future changes in forest composition in a changing environment.

title: Data from: Floral antagonists counteract pollinator-mediated selection on attractiveness traits in the hummingbird-pollinated Collaea cipoensis (Fabaceae)

description: Pollinator-mediated selection towards larger and abundant flowers is
 common in naturally pollen-limited populations. However, floral
 antagonists may counteract this effect, maintaining smaller- and
 few-flowered individuals within populations. We quantified pollinator and
 antagonist visit rates and determined a multiplicative female fitness
 component from attacked and non-attacked flowers of the Brazilian
 hummingbird-pollinated shrub Collaea cipoensis to determine the selective
 effects of pollinators and floral antagonists on flower size and number.
 We predicted that floral antagonists reduce the female fitness component
 and thus exert negative selective pressures on flower size and number,
 counteracting the positive effects of pollinators. Pollinators, mainly
 hummingbirds, comprised 4% of total floral visitation, whereas antagonist
 ants and bees accounted for 90% of visitation. Nectar-robbers involved
 about 99% of floral antagonist visit rates, whereas florivores comprised
 the remaining 1%. Larger and abundant flowers increased both pollinator
 and antagonist visit rates and the female fitness component significantly
 decreased in flowers attacked by nectar-robbers and florivores in
 comparison to non-attacked flowers. We detected that pollinators favored
 larger- and many-flowered individuals, whereas floral antagonists exerted
 negative selection on flower size and number. This study confirms that
 floral antagonists reduce female plant fitness and this pattern directly
 exerts negative selective pressures on flower size and number,
 counteracting pollinator-mediated selection on floral attractiveness
 traits.

title: Data from: Phenotypic landscapes: phenological patterns in wild and cultivated barley

description: Phenotypic variation in natural populations is the outcome of the joint
 effects of environmentally induced adaptations and neutral processes on
 the genetic architecture of quantitative traits. In this study we examined
 the role of adaptation in shaping wild barley phenotypic variation along
 different environmental gradients. Detailed phenotyping of 164 wild barley
 (Hordeum spontaneum) accessions from Israel (of the Barley1K collection),
 and 18 cultivated barley (H. vulgare) varieties, was conducted in common
 garden field trials. Cluster analysis based on phenotypic data indicated
 that wild barley in this region can be differentiated into three ecotypes
 in accordance with their ecogeographic distribution: north, coast, and
 desert. Population differentiation (Qst) for each trait was estimated
 using a hierarchical Bayesian model and compared to neutral
 differentiation (Fst) based on 42 microsatellite markers. This analysis
 indicated that the three clusters diverged in morphological but not in
 reproductive characteristics. To address the issue of phenotypic variation
 along environmental gradients, climatic and soil gradients were compared
 with each of the measured traits given the geographical distance between
 sampling sites using a partial Mantel test. Flowering time and plant
 growth were found to be differentially correlated with climatic and soil
 characteristic gradients, respectively. The H. vulgare varieties were
 superior to the H. spontaneum accessions in yield components yet resembled
 the Mediterranean types in vegetative characteristics and flowering time,
 which may indicate the geographic origin of domesticated barley.

title: Data from: Group size adjustment to ecological demand in a cooperative breeder

description: Environmental factors can determine which group size will maximise the
 fitness of group members. This is particularly important in cooperative
 breeders, where group members often serve different purposes. Experimental
 studies are yet lacking to check whether ecologically mediated need for
 help will change the propensity of dominant group members to accept
 immigrants. Here we manipulated the perceived risk of predation for
 dominant breeders of the cooperatively breeding cichlid fish
 Neolamprologus pulcher to test their response to unrelated and previously
 unknown immigrants. Potential immigrants were more readily accepted if
 groups were exposed to fish predators or egg predators than to herbivorous
 fish or control situations lacking predation risk. Our data are consistent
 with both risk dilution and helping effects. Egg predators were presented
 before spawning, which might suggest that the fish adjust acceptance rates
 also to a potential future threat. Dominant group members of N. pulcher
 apparently consider both present and future need of help based on
 ecological demand. This suggests that acceptance of immigrants and more
 generally, tolerance of group members on demand could be a widespread
 response to ecological conditions in cooperatively breeding animals.

title: Data from: Population structure of the Chagas disease vector, Triatoma infestans, at the urban-rural interface

description: The increasing rate of biological invasions resulting from human transport
 or human-mediated changes to the environment have had devastating ecologic
 and public health consequences. The kissing bug, Triatoma infestans, has
 dispersed through the Peruvian city of Arequipa. The biological invasion
 of this insect has resulted in a public health crisis, putting thousands
 of residents of this city at risk of infection by Trypanosoma cruzi and
 subsequent development of Chagas disease. Here we show that populations of
 Tria. infestans in geographically distinct districts within and around
 this urban center share a common recent evolutionary history although
 current gene flow is restricted even between proximal sites. The
 population structure among the Tria. infestans in different districts is
 not correlated with the geographic distance between districts. These data
 suggest that migration among the districts is mediated by factors beyond
 the short-range migratory capabilities of Tria. Infestans and that human
 movement has played a significant role in the structuring of the Tria.
 infestans population in the region. Rapid urbanization across southern
 South America will continue to create suitable environments for Tria.
 infestans and knowledge of its urban dispersal patterns may play a
 fundamental role in mitigating human disease risk.

title: Data from: Within-host competition between Borrelia afzelii ospC strains in wild hosts as revealed by massively parallel amplicon sequencing

description: Infections frequently consist of more than one strain of a given pathogen.
 Experiments have shown that co-infecting strains often compete, so that
 the infection intensity of each strain in mixed infections is lower than
 in single strain infections. Such within-host competition can have
 important epidemiological and evolutionary consequences. However, the
 extent of competition has rarely been investigated in wild, naturally
 infected hosts, where there is noise in the form of varying inoculation
 doses, asynchronous infections and host heterogeneity, which can
 potentially alleviate or eliminate competition. Here, we investigated the
 extent of competition between Borrelia afzelii strains (as determined by
 ospC genotype) in three host species sampled in the wild. For this
 purpose, we developed a protocol for 454 amplicon sequencing of ospC,
 which allows both detection and quantification of each individual strain
 in an infection. Each host individual was infected with one to six ospC
 strains. The infection intensity of each strain was lower in mixed
 infections than in single ones, showing that there was competition.
 Rank-abundance plots revealed that there was typically one dominant
 strain, but that the evenness of the relative infection intensity of the
 different strains in an infection increased with the multiplicity of
 infection. We conclude that within-host competition can play an important
 role under natural conditions despite many potential sources of noise, and
 that quantification by next-generation amplicon sequencing offers new
 possibilities to dissect within-host interactions in naturally infected
 hosts.

title: Data from: Habitat associations of bats in a working rangeland landscape

description: 1. Land-use change has resulted in rangeland loss and degradation
 globally. These changes include conversion of native grasslands for
 row-crop agriculture as well as degradation of remaining rangeland due to
 fragmentation and changing disturbance regimes. Understanding how these
 and other factors influence wildlife use of rangelands is important for
 conservation and management of wildlife populations. 2. We investigated
 bat habitat associations in a working rangeland in southeastern North
 Dakota. We used Petterson d500x acoustic detectors to systematically
 sample bat activity across the study area on a 1 km point grid. We
 identified calls using Sonobat autoclassification software. We detected
 five species using this working rangeland, which included Lasionycteris
 noctivagans (2,722 detections), Lasiurus cinereus (2,055 detections),
 Eptesicus fuscus (749 detections), Lasiurus borealis (62 detections) and
 Myotis lucifugus (1 detection). 3. We developed generalized linear
 mixed-effects models for the four most frequently detected species based
 on their ecology. The activity of three bat species increased with higher
 tree cover. While the scale of selection varied between the four species,
 all three investigated scales were explanatory for at least one bat
 species. 4. The broad importance of trees to bats in rangelands may put
 their conservation needs at odds with those of obligate grassland species.
 Focusing rangeland bat conservation on areas that were treed prior to
 European settlement, such as riparian forests, can provide important areas
 for bat conservation while minimizing negative impacts on grassland
 species.

title: Data from: A Drosophila model for developmental nicotine exposure

description: Despite the known health risks of tobacco smoking, many people including
 pregnant women continue smoking. The effects of developmental nicotine
 exposure are known, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood.
 Drosophila melanogaster is a model organism that can be used for
 uncovering genetic and molecular mechanisms for drugs of abuse. Here I
 show that Drosophila can be a model to elucidate the mechanisms for
 nicotine’s effects on a developing organism. Drosophila reared on nicotine
 food display developmental and behavioral effects similar to those in
 mammals including decreased survival and weight, increased developmental
 time, and decreased sensitivity to acute nicotine and ethanol. The
 Drosophila nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha 7 (Dα7) mediates
 some of these effects. A novel role for Dα7 on ethanol sedation in
 Drosophila is also shown. Future research taking advantage of the genetic
 and molecular tools for Drosophila will allow additional discovery of the
 mechanisms behind the effects of nicotine during development.

title: Data from: Concordance of bacterial communities of two tick species and blood of their shared rodent host

description: High-throughput sequencing is revealing that most macro-organisms house
 diverse microbial communities. Of particular interest are disease vectors
 whose microbiome could potentially affect pathogen transmission and vector
 competence. We investigated bacterial community composition and diversity
 of the ticks Dermacentor variabilis (n = 68) and Ixodes scapularis (n =
 15) and blood of their shared rodent host, Peromyscus leucopus (n = 45) to
 quantify bacterial diversity and concordance. The 16S rRNA gene was
 amplified from genomic DNA from field-collected tick and rodent blood
 samples, and 454 pyrosequencing was used to elucidate their bacterial
 communities. After quality control, over 300 000 sequences were obtained
 and classified into 118 operational taxonomic units (OTUs, clustered at
 97% similarity). Analysis of rarefied communities revealed that the most
 abundant OTUs were tick species-specific endosymbionts, Francisella and
 Rickettsia, and the commonly flea-associated bacterium Bartonella in
 rodent blood. An Arsenophonus and additional Francisella endosymbiont were
 also present in D. variabilis samples. Rickettsia was found in both tick
 species but not in rodent blood, suggesting that it is not transmitted
 during feeding. Bartonella was present in larvae and nymphs of both tick
 species, even those scored as unengorged. Relatively, few OTUs (e.g.
 Bartonella, Lactobacillus) were found in all sample types. Overall,
 bacterial communities from each sample type were significantly different
 and highly structured, independent of their dominant OTUs. Our results
 point to complex microbial assemblages inhabiting ticks and host blood
 including infectious agents, tick-specific endosymbionts and environmental
 bacteria that could potentially affect arthropod-vectored disease
 dynamics.

title: Data from: Water and fish select for fleshy fruits in tropical wetland forests

description: Adjacent floodplain and upland tropical forests experience the same
 temperature and precipitation regimes, but differ substantially in plant
 species composition and biotic interactions because of extensive flooding.
 We hypothesize that flooded forests filter fruiting traits linked to seed
 dispersal by water and fishes, such that selection by water and fish led
 to (1) trees that synchronize the timing of fruiting with annual floods,
 and (2) the evolution of fleshy tissues on fruits to improve buoyancy and
 increase fruit consumption rates by fish. To test this hypothesis, we
 compared plant communities in seasonally flooded forests and adjacent
 upland forest in terms of fruiting phenology, the frequency of trees
 bearing fleshy-fruit, and the role of fleshy tissues in buoyancy and seed
 viability. Beta-diversity in this system is high, with significant
 differences in species composition across habitats. As predicted, the
 production of ripe fleshy fruits was significantly greater in flooded than
 upland forests during the flood season. Furthermore, we found that trees
 with fleshy fruit were significantly more abundant in flooded forests even
 though species richness of fleshy-fruit bearing trees was proportionally
 similar in flooded and upland forests. Additionally, fleshy pulp increased
 buoyancy. Likewise, time afloat decreased for denser fruit and those with
 high seed to pulp ratios. In concert, these results suggest that fleshy
 fruits in Neotropical floodplain forests facilitated hydrochory and
 ichthyochory. Once established, water and fish became important agents of
 selection on fruiting traits.
