title: Data from: Relative contributions of offspring quality and environmental quality to adult field performance

description: Determinants of adult performance, such as growth and survival, are
 influenced by extrinsic, environmental and intrinsic, phenotypic factors.
 The relative importance of extrinsic and intrinsic factors, while
 ecologically relevant, is rarely estimated simultaneously. We estimate the
 relative contributions of offspring size (intrinsic) and various
 environmental factors (extrinsic) on adult performance in the marine
 colonial bryozoan Watersipora subtorquata. We used a variance partitioning
 approach for both new and previously published data, enabling us to
 examine the performance of over 1000 individuals in the field. We found
 offspring size to explain relatively little variation in adult
 performance. Of the environmental factors taken to account, temporal
 variation and an environmental gradient had the strongest influences.

title: Data from: Stress response, gut microbial diversity, and sexual signals correlate with social interactions

description: Theory predicts that social interactions are dynamically linked to
 phenotype. Yet because social interactions are difficult to quantify,
 little is known about the precise details on how interactivity is linked
 to phenotype. Here, we deployed proximity loggers on North American barn
 swallows (Hirundo rustica erythrogaster) to examine intercorrelations
 among social interactions, morphology and features of the phenotype that
 are sensitive to the social context: stress-induced corticosterone (CORT)
 and gut microbial diversity. We analysed relationships at two spatial
 scales of interaction: (i) body contact and (ii) social interactions
 occurring between 0.1 and 5 m. Network analysis revealed that
 relationships between social interactions, morphology, CORT and gut
 microbial diversity varied depending on the sexes of the individuals
 interacting and the spatial scale of interaction proximity. We found
 evidence that body contact interactions were related to diversity of
 socially transmitted microbes and that looser social interactions were
 related to signalling traits and CORT.

title: Data from: Relative importance of chemical attractiveness to parasites for susceptibility to trematode infection

description: While the host immune system is often considered the most important
 physiological mechanism against parasites, pre-contact mechanisms
 determining exposure to parasites may also affect infection dynamics. For
 instance, chemical cues released by hosts can attract parasite
 transmission stages. We used the freshwater snail Lymnaea stagnalis and
 its trematode parasite Echinoparyphium aconiatum to examine the role of
 host chemical attractiveness, physiological condition and immune function
 in determining its susceptibility to infection. We assessed host
 attractiveness through parasite chemo-orientation behaviour, physiological
 condition through host body size, food consumption, and respiration rate,
 and immune function through two immune parameters (phenoloxidase-like and
 antibacterial activity of haemolymph) at an individual level. We found
 that although snails showed high variation in chemical attractiveness to
 E. aconiatum cercariae, this did not determine their overall
 susceptibility to infection. This was because large body size increased
 attractiveness, but also increased metabolic activity that reduced overall
 susceptibility. High metabolic rate indicates fast physiological
 processes, including immune activity. The examined immune traits, however,
 showed no association with susceptibility to infection. Our results
 indicate that post-contact mechanisms were more likely to determine snail
 susceptibility to infection than variation in attractiveness to parasites.
 These may include localized immune responses in the target tissue of the
 parasite. The lack of a relationship between food consumption and
 attractiveness to parasites contradicts earlier findings that show food
 deprivation reducing snail attractiveness. This suggests that although
 variation in resource level over space and time can alter infection
 dynamics, variation in chemical attractiveness may not contribute to
 parasite-induced fitness variation within populations when individuals
 experience similar environmental conditions.

title: Data from: Mapping and explaining wolf recolonization in France using dynamic occupancy models and opportunistic data

description: While large carnivores are recovering in Europe, assessing their
 distributions can help to predict and mitigate conflicts with human
 activities. Because they are highly mobile, elusive and live at very low
 density, modeling their distributions presents several challenges due to
 i) their imperfect detectability, ii) their dynamic ranges over time and
 iii) their monitoring at large scales consisting mainly of opportunistic
 data without a formal measure of the sampling effort. Here, we focused on
 wolves (Canis lupus) that have been recolonizing France since the early
 90’s. We evaluated the sampling effort a posteriori as the number of
 observers present per year in a cell based on their location and
 professional activities. We then assessed wolf range dynamics from 1994 to
 2016, while accounting for species imperfect detection and time- and
 space-varying sampling effort using dynamic site-occupancy models.
 Ignoring the effect of sampling effort on species detectability led to
 underestimating the number of occupied sites by more than 50% on average.
 Colonization appeared to be negatively influenced by the proportion of a
 site with an altitude higher than 2500m and positively influenced by the
 number of observed occupied sites at short and longdistances , forest
 cover, farmland cover and mean altitude. The expansion rate, defined as
 the number of occupied sites in a given year divided by the number of
 occupied sites in the previous year, decreased over the first years of the
 study, then remained stable from 2000 to 2016. Our work shows that
 opportunistic data can be analyzed with species distribution models that
 control for imperfect detection, pending a quantification of sampling
 effort. Our approach has the potential for being used by decisionmakers to
 target sites where large carnivores are likely to occur and mitigate
 conflicts.

title: Data from: The battle of the sexes over seed size: support for both kinship genomic imprinting and interlocus contest evolution

description: utcrossing creates a venue for parental conflict. When one sex provides
 parental care to offspring fertilized by several partners, the
 nonproviding sex is under selection to maximally exploit the caring sex.
 The caring sex may counteradapt, and a coevolutionary arms race ensues.
 Genetic models of this conflict include the kinship theory of genomic
 imprinting (parent-of-origin-specific expression of maternal-care
 effectors) and interlocus conflict evolution (interaction between male
 selfish signals and female abatement). Predictions were tested by
 measuring the sizes of seeds produced by within-population crosses
 (diallel design) and between-population crosses in outcrossing and selfing
 populations of Arabidopsis lyrata. Within-population diallel crosses
 revealed substantial maternal variance in seed size in most populations.
 The comparison of between- and within-population crosses showed that seeds
 were larger when pollen came from another outcrossing population than when
 pollen came from a selfing or the same population, supporting interlocus
 contest evolution between male selfish genes and female recognition genes.
 Evidence for kinship genomic imprinting came from complementary trait
 means of seed size in reciprocal between-population crosses independent of
 whether populations were predominantly selfing or outcrossing. Hence, both
 kinship genomic imprinting and interlocus contest are supported in
 outcrossing Arabidopsis, whereas only kinship genomic imprinting is
 important in selfing populations.

title: Data from: Towards an evolutionary understanding of questing behaviour in the tick Ixodes ricinus

description: The tick Ixodes ricinus finds its hosts by climbing vegetation and
 adopting a sit-and-wait tactic. This “questing” behaviour is known to be
 temperature-dependent, such that questing increases with temperature up to
 a point where the vapor pressure deficit (drying effect) forces ticks down
 to rehydrate in the soil or mat layer. Little if any attention has been
 paid to understanding the questing of ticks from an evolutionary
 perspective. Here we ask whether populations from colder climatic
 conditions respond differently in terms of the threshold temperature for
 questing and the rate of response to a fixed temperature. We find
 significant variation between populations in the temperature sensitivity
 of questing, with populations from cooler climates starting questing at
 lower temperatures than populations from warmer temperatures. Cool climate
 populations also quest sooner when the temperature is held constant. These
 patterns are consistent with local adaptation to temperature either
 through direct selection or acclimation and challenge the use of fixed
 thresholds for questing in modeling the spread of tick populations. Our
 results also show how both time and temperature play a role in questing,
 but we are unable to explain the relationship in terms of degree-time used
 to model Arthropod development. We find that questing in response to
 temperature fits well with a quantitative genetic model of the conditional
 strategy, which reveals how selection on questing may operate and hence
 may be of value in understanding the evolutionary ecology of questing.

title: Data from: Ammonia volatilization from putting greens foliarly-fertilized by conventional or stabilized urea

description: Low cost, high N-content, and favorable handling characteristics of urea
 fertilizer (46-0-0) make its use common in turfgrass management. While
 many investigations confirm incomplete recovery of foliarly-applied urea-N
 by turfgrass putting greens, the efficacy of urease-inhibiting additives,
 calcium-maleic-itaconic polymer or N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide
 (NBPT), in preventing NH3 volatilization is currently undocumented.
 Meanwhile, NH3 emissions reduce air and water quality. From 2014 to 2015,
 NH3 volatilization was measured 0- to 24-hours following foliar
 application of conventional or stabilized urea fertilizers to ‘Penn G2’
 creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) putting greens at a 20 kg
 ha–1 N rate in four separate trials. Using a 63% ‘trapping-efficiency’
 flux chamber system under the duration and conditions described, 11.1% of
 conventional or calcium-maleic-itaconic polymer-amended urea-N was lost as
 NH3. Alternatively, combined amendment by NBPT and dicyandiamide (DCD)
 prevented 1.3 to 1.4 kg ha–1 NH3-N emissions, reducing volatilization loss
 to only 3.8 to 4.6% of the foliarly-applied urea-N.

title: Data from: The anti-predator role of within-nest emergence synchrony in sea turtle hatchlings

description: Group formation is a common behaviour among prey species. In egg-laying
 animals, despite the various factors that promote intra-clutch variation
 leading to asynchronous hatching and emergence from nests, synchronous
 hatching and emergence occurs in many taxa. This synchrony may be adaptive
 by reducing predation risk, but few data are available in any natural
 system, even for iconic examples of the anti-predator function of group
 formation. Here, we show for the first time that increased group size
 (number of hatchlings emerging together from a nest) reduces green turtle
 (Chelonia mydas) hatchling predation. This effect was only observed
 earlier in the night when predation pressure was greatest, indicated by
 the greatest predator abundance and a small proportion of predators
 preoccupied with consuming captured prey. Further analysis revealed that
 the effect of time of day was due to the number of hatchlings already
 killed in an evening; this, along with the apparent lack of other
 anti-predatory mechanisms for grouping, suggests that synchronous
 emergence from a nest appears to swamp predators, resulting in an attack
 abatement effect. Using a system with relatively pristine conditions for
 turtle hatchlings and their predators provides a more realistic
 environmental context within which intra-nest synchronous emergence has
 evolved.

title: Data from: Adaptation to abiotic conditions drives local adaptation in bacteria and viruses coevolving in heterogeneous environments

description: Parasite local adaptation, the greater performance of parasites on their
 local compared with foreign hosts, has important consequences for the
 maintenance of diversity and epidemiology. While the abiotic environment
 may significantly affect local adaptation, most studies to date have
 failed either to incorporate the effects of the abiotic environment, or to
 separate them from those of the biotic environment. Here, we tease apart
 biotic and abiotic components of local adaptation using the bacterium
 Pseudomonas fluorescens and its viral parasite bacteriophage Φ2. We
 coevolved replicate populations of bacteria and phages at three different
 temperatures, and determined their performance against coevolutionary
 partners from the same and different temperatures. Crucially, we measured
 performance at different assay temperatures, which allowed us to
 disentangle adaptation to biotic and abiotic habitat components. Our
 results show that bacteria and phages are more resistant and infectious,
 respectively, at the temperature at which they previously coevolved,
 confirming that local adaptation to abiotic conditions can play a crucial
 role in determining parasite infectivity and host resistance. Our work
 underlines the need to assess host–parasite interactions across multiple
 relevant abiotic environments, and suggests that microbial adaption to
 local temperatures can create ecological barriers to dispersal across
 temperature gradients.

title: Data from: Symbionts modify interactions between insects and natural enemies in the field

description: Eukaryotes commonly host communities of heritable symbiotic bacteria, many
 of which are not essential for their hosts' survival and
 reproduction. There is laboratory evidence that these facultative
 symbionts can provide useful adaptations, such as increased resistance to
 natural enemies. However, we do not know how symbionts affect host fitness
 when the latter are subject to attack by a natural suite of parasites and
 pathogens. Here, we test whether two protective symbionts, Regiella
 insecticola and Hamiltonella defensa, increase the fitness of their host,
 the pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum), under natural conditions. We placed
 experimental populations of two pea aphid lines, each with and without
 symbionts, in five wet meadow sites to expose them to a natural assembly
 of enemy species. The aphids were then retrieved and mortality from
 parasitoids, fungal pathogens and other causes assessed. We found that
 both Regiella and Hamiltonella reduce the proportion of aphids killed by
 the specific natural enemies against which they have been shown to protect
 in laboratory and cage experiments. However, this advantage was nullified
 (Hamiltonella) or reversed (Regiella) by an increase in mortality from
 other natural enemies and by the cost of carrying the symbiont. Symbionts
 therefore affect community structure by altering the relative success of
 different natural enemies. Our results show that protective symbionts are
 not necessarily advantageous to their hosts, and may even behave more like
 parasites than mutualists. Nevertheless, bacterial symbionts may play an
 important role in determining food web structure and dynamics.

title: Data from: Adhesive contact of the Weierstrass profile

description: The Weierstrass series was considered in Ciavarella et al. (Ciavarella et
 al. 2000 Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A 456, 387–405. (doi:10.1098/rspa.2000.0522))
 to describe a linear contact problem between a rigid fractally rough
 surface and an elastic half-plane. In such cases, no applied mean pressure
 is sufficiently large to ensure full contact, and specifically there are
 not even any contact areas of finite dimension. Later, Gao & Bower
 (Gao & Bower 2006 Proc. R. Soc. A 462, 319–348.
 (doi:10.1098/rspa.2005.1563)) introduced plasticity in the Weierstrass
 model, but concluded that the fractal limit continued to lead to what they
 considered unphysical predictions of the true contact size and number of
 contact spots, similar to the elastic case. In this paper, we deal with
 the contact problem between rough surfaces in the presence of adhesion
 with the assumption of a Johnson, Kendall and Roberts (JKR) regime. We
 find that, for fractal dimension D&gt;1.5, the presence of adhesion
 does not qualitatively modify the contact behaviour. However, for fractal
 dimension D&lt;1.5, a regularization of the contact area can be
 observed at a large magnification where the contact area consists of
 segments of finite size. Moreover, full contact can occur at all scales
 for D&lt;1.5 provided the mean contact pressure is larger than a
 certain value. We discuss, however, the implication of our assumption of a
 JKR regime.

title: Data from: The contribution of the mitochondrial genome to sex-specific fitness variance

description: Maternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) facilitates the
 evolutionary accumulation of mutations with sex-biased fitness effects.
 Whereas maternal inheritance closely aligns mtDNA evolution with natural
 selection in females, it makes it indifferent to evolutionary changes that
 exclusively benefit males. The constrained response of mtDNA to selection
 in males can lead to asymmetries in the relative contributions of
 mitochondrial genes to female versus male fitness variation. Here, we
 examine the impact of genetic drift and the distribution of fitness
 effects (DFE) among mutations – including the correlation of mutant
 fitness effects between the sexes – on mitochondrial genetic variation for
 fitness. We show how drift, genetic correlations, and skewness of the DFE
 determine the relative contributions of mitochondrial genes to male versus
 female fitness variance. When mutant fitness effects are weakly correlated
 between the sexes, and the effective population size is large,
 mitochondrial genes should contribute much more to male than to female
 fitness variance. In contrast, high fitness correlations and small
 population sizes tend to equalize the contributions of mitochondrial genes
 to female versus male variance. We discuss implications of these results
 for the evolution of mitochondrial genome diversity and the genetic
 architecture of female and male fitness.
