title: Data from: Social buffering of stress in a group-living fish

description: Living in groups affords individuals many benefits including the
 opportunity to reduce stress. In mammals, such ‘social buffering’ of
 stress is mediated by affiliative relationships and production of the
 neuropeptide oxytocin, but whether these mechanisms facilitate social
 buffering across vertebrates remains an open question. Therefore, we
 evaluated whether the social environment influenced the behavioural and
 physiological recovery from an acute stressor in a group-living cichlid,
 Neolamprologus pulcher. Individual fish that recovered with their social
 group displayed lower cortisol levels than individuals that recovered
 alone. This social buffering of the stress response was associated with a
 tendency towards lower transcript abundance of arginine vasotocin and
 isotocin in the preoptic area of the brain, suggesting reduced neural
 activation of the stress axis. Individuals that recovered with their
 social group quickly resumed normal behaviour but received fewer
 affiliative acts following the stressor. Further experiments revealed
 similar cortisol levels between individuals that recovered in visual
 contact with their own social group and those in visual contact with a
 novel but non-aggressive social group. Collectively, our results suggest
 that affiliation and familiarity per se do not mediate social buffering in
 this group-living cichlid, and the behavioural and physiological
 mechanisms responsible for social buffering may vary across vertebrates.

title: Data from: Linking demographic and food‐web models to understand management trade‐offs

description: Alternatives in ecosystem-based management often differ with respect to
 trade-offs between ecosystem values. Ecosystem or food-web models and
 demographic models are typically employed to evaluate alternatives, but
 the approaches are rarely integrated to uncover conflicts between values.
 We applied multi-state models to a capture-recapture dataset on common
 guillemots Uria aalge breeding in the Baltic Sea to identify factors
 influencing survival. The estimated relationships were employed together
 with Ecopath-with-Ecosim food-web model simulations to project guillemot
 survival under six future scenarios incorporating climate change. The
 scenarios were based on management alternatives for eutrophication and cod
 fisheries, issues considered top priority for regional management, but
 without known direct effects on the guillemot population. Our demographic
 models identified prey quantity (abundance and biomass of sprat Sprattus
 sprattus) as the main factor influencing guillemot survival. Most
 scenarios resulted in projections of increased survival, in the near
 (2016-2040) and distant (2060-2085) future. However, in the scenario of
 reduced nutrient input and precautionary cod fishing, guillemot survival
 was projected to be lower in both future periods due to lower sprat
 stocks. Matrix population models suggested a substantial decline of the
 guillemot population in the near future, 24% per 10 years; and a smaller
 reduction, 1.1% per 10 years, in the distant future. To date, many
 stakeholders and Baltic Sea governments have supported reduced nutrient
 input and precautionary cod fishing and implementation is underway.
 Negative effects on non-focal-species have previously not been uncovered,
 but our results show that the scenario is likely to negatively impact the
 guillemot population. Linking model results allowed identifying trade-offs
 associated with management alternatives. This information is critical to
 thorough evaluation by decision-makers, but not easily obtained by
 food-web models or demographic models in isolation. Appropriate datasets
 are often available, making it feasible to apply a linked approach for
 better-informed decisions in ecosystem-based management.

title: Data from: Rainfall and habitat interact to affect the condition of a wintering migratory songbird in The Bahamas

description: On the subtropical and tropical wintering grounds of migratory birds,
 variation in moisture levels and habitat can influence the availability of
 food resources and subsequently impact overwintering birds. Using stable
 carbon isotopes in blood samples as a measure of moisture, we assessed the
 interactive effects of rainfall, vegetation, and moisture on the
 demographics and condition of Prairie Warblers (Setophaga discolor)
 wintering in The Bahamas. Carbon isotopes in Prairie Warbler blood were
 more depleted in taller, wetter habitats; we additionally detected novel
 temporal effects of rainfall on isotope values. During a winter with more
 rainfall, most birds maintained mass and pectoral muscle regardless of the
 habitat type occupied. In a winter with less rainfall, birds lost mass and
 pectoral muscle, and this effect was more pronounced in birds with
 enriched isotope values and birds that occupied drier, shorter habitat.
 Prairie Warblers exhibited strong patterns of sexual habitat segregation
 with males disproportionately observed in areas with taller vegetation and
 females in shorter vegetation. During the drier winter, older males had
 better maintenance of pectoral muscle compared to females and younger
 individuals. Also in the drier winter, daily rainfall patterns explained
 more of the variation in body condition compared to the date of capture;
 pectoral muscle was best explained by recent precipitation (during the
 previous 30 days), while size‐corrected mass was more a function of
 longer‐term (90‐day) rainfall and habitat moisture. Our findings along
 with other studies suggest that Prairie Warblers and other migratory birds
 are sensitive to interactions between annual variation in winter rainfall,
 within‐season daily rainfall patterns, and habitat quality. Increasing
 drought and habitat loss in the Caribbean may be having a negative impact
 on wintering bird populations. To best conserve Nearctic–Neotropical
 migratory passerines in the region, we recommend prioritizing the
 protection of the least drought‐prone wintering areas.

title: Data from: Runs of homozygosity and signatures of selection: a comparison among eight local Swiss sheep breeds

description: A dataset consisting of 787 animals with high density SNP chip genotypes
 (346,774 SNP) and 939 animals with medium density SNP chip genotypes
 (33,828 SNP) from a total of 8 indigenous Swiss sheep breeds was analyzed
 to characterize population structures, quantify genomic inbreeding based
 on runs of homozygosity and identify selection signatures. In concordance
 with the recent known history of these breeds, the highest genetic
 diversity was observed in Engadine Red sheep and the lowest in Valais
 Blacknose sheep. Correlation between FPED and FROH was around 0.50 and
 thereby lower than that found in similar studies in cattle. Mean FROH
 estimates from medium density data and HD data were highly correlated
 (0.95). Signatures of selection and candidate gene analysis revealed that
 the most prominent signatures of selection were found in the proximity of
 genes associated with body size (NCAPG, LCORL, LAP3, SPP1, PLAG1, ALOX12,
 TP53), litter size (SPP1), milk production (ABCG2, SPP1), coat color (KIT,
 ASIP, TBX3) and horn status (RXFP2). For the Valais Blacknose sheep the
 private signatures in proximity of genes/QTL influencing body size, coat
 color and fatty acid composition were confirmed based on runs of
 homozygosity analysis. These private signatures underline the genetic
 uniqueness of the Valais Blacknose sheep breed. In conclusion we
 identified differences in the genetic make-up of Swiss sheep breeds and we
 present relevant candidate genes responsible for breed differentiation in
 locally adapted breeds.

title: Data from: Activating Killer-cell Immunoglobulin-like Receptor genes confer risk for Crohn’s disease in children and adults of the Western European descent: findings based on case-control studies

description: Background: Killer-cell Immunoglobulin-like Receptor (KIR) genes encode
 receptors, which are mainly expressed on, and control functional
 activities of, Natural Killer (NK) cells. There exist six distinct
 activating KIR genes in humans, who differ from one another with respect
 to the repertoire of these genes. Because activated NK cells can
 potentially cause tissue destruction, we hypothesized that variation in
 the inherited activating KIR genes in humans is associated with their
 innate susceptibility/resistance to developing Crohn disease (CD).
 Methods: We performed case control studies on three independent Canadian
 CD patient cohorts (all of the Western European descent): two comprising
 children (Montreal having 193 cases and 245 controls, and Ottawa having 93
 cases and 120 controls) and the third one comprising predominantly adults
 (Winnipeg having 164 cases and 200 controls). We genotyped cases and
 controls for activating KIR genes by PCR with gene-specific primers and
 investigated associations between the genes and cases using unconditional
 logistic regression. Results: We observed strong associations between all
 the six KIR genes and CD in Ottawa children, with the strongest risk
 observed for the KIR2DS1 (p=1.7 x10-10). Associations between all but the
 KIR2DS2 were replicated in the Montreal cohort with the strongest
 association evident for the KIR2DS5 (8.0 x 10-10). Similarly associations
 between five genes were observed in the adult Winnipeg cohort. In this
 cohort, strongest associations were evident with the KIR2DS5 (8.75 x
 10-8). An overall analysis for all cohorts showed strong associations with
 four of the genes, with the strongest association evident for the KIR2DS5
 (p=1.35 x 10-17). In the combined analysis for four KIR genes, individuals
 carrying one or more of the KIR genes were at significantly higher risks
 for acquiring CD (p=3.5 x 10-34). Conclusions: Activating KIR genes are
 associated with risk for developing CD in both children and adults.

title: Data from: Biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships in fish communities: biomass is related to evenness and the environment, not to species richness

description: The relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF) is a
 topic of considerable interest to scientists and managers because a better
 understanding of its underlying mechanisms may help us mitigate the
 consequences of biodiversity loss on ecosystems. Our current knowledge of
 BEF relies heavily on theoretical and experimental studies, typically
 conducted on a narrow range of spatio-temporal scales, environmental
 conditions and trophic levels. Hence, whether a relationship holds in the
 natural environment is poorly understood, especially in exploited marine
 ecosystems. Using large-scale observations of marine fish communities, we
 applied a structural equation modelling framework to investigate the
 existence and significance of BEF relationships across North western
 European seas. We find that ecosystem functioning, here represented by
 spatial patterns in total fish biomass, is unrelated to species richness –
 the most commonly used diversity metric in BEF studies. Instead, community
 evenness, differences in species composition, and abiotic variables are
 significant drivers. In particular, we find that high fish biomass is
 associated with fish assemblages dominated by a few generalist species
 with high trophic level, who are able to exploit both the benthic and
 pelagic energy pathway. Our study provides a better understanding of the
 mechanisms behind marine ecosystem functioning and allows for the
 integration of biodiversity into management considerations.

title: Data from: Lifelong impact of X-Linked hypophosphatemia: results from a burden of disease survey

description: Context: X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is characterized by excess FGF23,
 hypophosphatemia, skeletal abnormalities, and growth impairment. We aimed
 to understand the burden of disease of XLH across the life span. Methods:
 Responses were collected from adults with XLH and parents/caregivers of a
 child with XLH in an online survey, including multiple-choice and
 open-ended questions on demographics, disease manifestations, treatment
 history, assistive device use, and age-specific patient-reported outcomes
 (PROs). Results: Data was collected from 232 adults with XLH (mean age
 45.6 years, 76% female), and 90 parents/caregivers of a child with XLH
 (mean age 9.1 years, 56% female). Mean age recalled for symptom onset was
 3.2 years for adults and 1.3 years for children. When surveyed, nearly all
 children (99%) and 64% of adults were receiving oral phosphate, active
 vitamin D, or both. Prior participation in a trial investigating
 burosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody against FGF23, was reported
 in 3% of children and 10% of adults; of these respondents, only one child
 reported current treatment with burosumab at the time of the survey. Both
 children and adults reported typical features of XLH including abnormal
 gait (84% and 86%, respectively), bowing of the tibia/fibula (72% and
 77%), and short stature (80% and 86%). Nearly all adults (97%) and
 children (80%) reported bone or joint pain/stiffness. Adults reported a
 history of fractures (n/N = 102/232; 44%), with a mean (SD) age at first
 fracture of 26 (16) years. Adults reported osteophytes (46%), enthesopathy
 (27%), and spinal stenosis (19%). Mean scores for PROs evaluating pain,
 stiffness, and physical function were worse than population norms.
 Analgesics were taken at least once a week by 67% of adults. Conclusions:
 Despite the common use of oral phosphate and active vitamin D established
 in the 1980s, children with XLH demonstrate a substantial disease burden,
 including pain and impaired physical functioning that persists, as
 demonstrated by similar responses reported in adults with XLH.

title: Data from: Resilience of lake biogeochemistry to boreal-forest wildfires during the late Holocene

description: Novel fire regimes are expected in many boreal regions, and it is unclear
 how biogeochemical cycles will respond. We leverage fire and vegetation
 records from a highly flammable ecoregion in Alaska and present new
 lake-sediment analyses to examine biogeochemical responses to fire over
 the past 5300 years. No significant difference exists in δ13C, %C, %N,
 C:N, or magnetic susceptibility between pre-fire, post-fire, and fire
 samples. However, δ15N is related to the timing relative to fire
 (Χ2=19.73, p&lt;0.0001), with higher values for fire-decade samples
 (3.2±0.3‰) than pre-fire (2.4±0.2‰) and post-fire (2.2±0.1‰) samples.
 Sediment δ15N increased gradually from 1.8±0.6‰ to 3.2±0.2‰ over the late
 Holocene, probably as a result of terrestrial-ecosystem development.
 Elevated δ15N in fire decades likely reflects enhanced terrestrial
 nitrification and/or deeper permafrost-thaw depths immediately following
 fire. Similar δ15N values before and after fire decades suggest that N
 cycling in this lowland-boreal watershed was resilient to fire
 disturbance. However, this resilience may diminish as boreal ecosystems
 approach climate-driven thresholds of vegetation structure, permafrost
 thaw, and fire.

title: Data from: Multi-scale model of regional population decline in little brown bats due to white-nose syndrome

description: The introduced fungal pathogen Pseudogymnoascus destructans is causing
 decline of several species of bats in North America, with some even at
 risk of extinction or extirpation. The severity of the epidemic of
 white-nose syndrome caused by P. destructans has prompted investigation of
 the transmission and virulence of infection at multiple scales, but
 linking these scales is necessary to quantify the mechanisms of
 transmission and assess population-scale declines. We build a model
 connecting within-cave disease dynamics of little brown bats to regional
 scale dispersal, reproduction, and disease spread, including multiple
 plausible mechanisms of transmission. We parameterize the model using the
 approach of plausible parameter sets, by comparing stochastic simulation
 results to statistical probes from empirical data on within-cave
 prevalence and survival, as well as between-cave spread across a region.
 Our results are consistent with frequency-dependent transmission between
 bats, support an important role of environmental transmission, and show
 very little effect of dispersal among colonies on metapopulation survival.
 The model also offers a generalizable method to assess hypotheses about
 cave-to-cave transmission and to identify gaps in knowledge about key
 processes, and could be expanded to include additional mechanisms or bat
 species as research on this detrimental fungus progresses.

title: Data from: Phylogeography of the highly dispersible landscape-dominant woody species complex, Metrosideros, in Hawaii

description: Aim: Little is known about how diversification occurs within long-lived,
 highly dispersible and continuously distributed groups. We examined the
 distribution of genetic variation within the woody genus Metrosideros
 across the Hawaiian Islands for insights into how diversification occurs
 within this animal-pollinated, wind-dispersed group. Among Hawaiian
 plants, Metrosideros is unique in its formation of continuous stands
 within islands that span a remarkable range of environments and comprise
 numerous predominantly single-island taxa. Location: Hawaiian Islands
 Taxon: Metrosideros Methods: We performed population genetic analyses of
 variation at nine nuclear microsatellite loci from 1,486 adults of 23
 Metrosideros morphotypes sampled from five main Hawaiian Islands plus
 additional Pacific Island populations. Results: American Samoa and Tahiti
 populations clustered most closely with the older islands. Results also
 revealed isolation by distance across the archipelago, clustering of
 populations predominantly by island, and evidence of multiple
 colonizations or back-colonizations of three islands. The number of
 genetic clusters peaked on islands of intermediate age, coincident with
 peak morphotype richness. All islands comprised a broad range of genetic
 distances among taxa with the greatest overall genetic distance observed
 on Oahu. The two taxa that are distributed broadly across the archipelago
 were weakly but significantly differentiated only on volcanically active
 Hawaii Island, where they partition early- and late-successional
 environments. One of these taxa was positioned centrally both within
 individual-island splitstree networks and across the archipelago-wide
 network. Main conclusions: Distance-dependent gene flow contributes to
 isolation of Metrosideros across islands, especially on terminal islands.
 Morphological diversity likely accumulates rapidly within this group,
 likely associated with differential adaptation across heterogeneous
 environments, but isolation of gene pools through speciation within
 continuous Metrosideros stands likely requires persistent disruptive
 selection where environments are stable for long periods. The generalist,
 wet-forest M. p. v. glaberrima may play a central role in the generation
 of the group's many, largely island-endemic, forms.
