title: South Florida cavity nest webs: nest inspection data, photographs, and videos

description: Nest data, photographs, and videos from an investigation of cavity nest
 webs in Miami, Florida, and the surrounding region.  One
 spreadsheet organizes each cavity-bearing tree with by number. 
 The second spreadsheet records each individual cavity present, with
 records of inspection.  Photographs and videos were taken with a
 pole-mounted camera built to inspect the inside of woodpecker cavities.
  
description: The list of cavity trees starts with an ID number which links
 this dataset to the list of nest inspections.  The date is the first time
 the cavity-bearing tree was recorded.  Ecosystem and tree species are
 noted.  The notes section includes any tips for relocating the nest tree,
 as well as any access issues and other thoughts.  The tree status is
 typically recorded as snags, live trees, or utility poles.  Initially
 non-woodpecker cavities were recorded here and the column "WP"
 indicates whether the tree has woodpecker caivities.  Tree height is in
 meters, DBH in cm, decay class on 1-9 scale, treetop condition intact or
 broken.  The following cavities are the number of woodpecker holes, number
 of holes which are enlarged, incomplete excavations.
 The nest inspection notes use the same ID number as the other
 dataset.  Date recorded notes when the individual cavity was first
 recorded.  Early on, this differed from the recording of trees, but later
 is usually concurrent.  Other columns are linked to the first dataset,
 including survey location, ecosystem, tree species, and notes.  The
 original excavator of the cavity is noted, with OE certainty determined by
 direct observation of excavation.  Other measurements match the previous
 spreadsheet, but nest height and diameter refer to the entrance hole. 
 Cavity age is O for old or N for new.  Seasons 1 and 2 refer to animals
 found in two successive nesting seasons.  Nest inspections follow the
 format of Visit date followed by narrative description in
 Inspection.   Photographs and videos taken from the
 project are in a zipped folder called Nest Camera Videos and Pictures. 
 Contains over 5,000 picture and video files.  Each folder is dated,
 allowing comparisons between data narratives and results.

title: Neurological deterioration in patients with acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack

description: Objective: To improve epidemiological knowledge of neurological
 deterioration (ND) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods:
 In this prospective observational study, we captured ND prospectively in
 29,446 AIS patients admitted to 15 hospitals in Korea within 7 days of
 stroke onset. ND was defined as an increase in National Institutes of
 Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≥2 (total), or ≥1 (motor or
 consciousness), or any new neurological symptoms. Change of incidence rate
 after stroke onset, causes, factors associated with ND, modified Rankin
 Scale (mRS) at 3 months and 1 year, and a composite of stroke, myocardial
 infarction and all-cause death at 1 year were assessed. Results: ND
 occurred in 4299 (14.6%) patients. The highest rate, 6.95 per 1,000
 person-hours incidence was within the first 6 hours which decreased to
 2.09 within 24-48 hours, and 0.66 within 72-96 hours after stroke onset.
 Old age, women, diabetes, early arrival, large artery atherosclerosis as a
 stroke subtype, high NIHSS scores, glucose level, systolic blood pressure,
 leukocytosis at admission, recanalization therapy, transient ischemic
 attack without a relevant lesion, steno-occlusion of relevant arteries
 were associated with ND. The causes were stroke progression (71.8%),
 followed by recurrence (8.5%). Adjusted relative risks (95% confidence
 interval) for poor outcome (mRS 3-6) at 3 months and one year were 1.75
 (1.70-1.80), and 1.70 (1.65-1.75), respectively. The adjusted hazard ratio
 (95% confidence interval) for the composite event was 1.59 (1.45-1.74).
 Conclusions: ND should be taken into consideration as a factor that may
 influence the outcome in acute ischemic stroke.

title: Data from: An operational definition of the biome for global change research

description: Biomes are constructs for organising knowledge on the structure and
 functioning of the world's ecosystems, and serve as useful units for
 monitoring how the biosphere responds to anthropogenic drivers, including
 climate change. The current practice of delimiting biomes relies on expert
 knowledge. Recent studies have questioned the value of such biome maps for
 comparative ecology and global-change research, partly due to their
 subjective origin. Here we propose a flexible method for developing biome
 maps objectively. The method uses range modelling of several thousands of
 plant species to reveal spatial attractors for different growth-form
 assemblages that define biomes. The workflow is illustrated using
 distribution data from 23,500 African plant species. In an example
 application, we create a biome map for Africa and use the fitted species
 models to project biome shifts. In a second example, we map gradients of
 growth-form suitability that can be used to identify sites for comparative
 ecology. This method provides a flexible framework that allows a range of
 biome types to be defined according to user needs. The method also enables
 projections of biome changes that emerge purely from the individualistic
 responses of plant species to environmental changes.
description: The dataset contains growth-form preference matrices (.csv files)
 for Africa based on the TTR-SDM and MaxEnt, respectively, and biome maps
 (.tif files) that were produced from these matrices. An R script that
 illustrates how to produce a biome map from a preference matrix is also
 provided.

title: On the effect of asymmetrical trait inheritance on models of trait evolution

description: Current phylogenetic comparative methods modelling quantitative trait
 evolution generally assume that, during speciation, phenotypes are
 inherited identically between the two daughter species. This, however,
 neglects the fact that species consist of a set of individuals, each
 bearing its own trait value. Indeed, because descendent populations after
 speciation are samples of a parent population, we can expect their mean
 phenotypes to randomly differ from one another potentially generating a
 ``jump'' of mean phenotypes due to asymmetrical trait
 inheritance at cladogenesis. Here, we aim to clarify the effect of
 asymmetrical trait inheritance at speciation on macroevolutionary
 analyses, focusing on model testing and parameter estimation using some of
 the most common models of quantitative trait evolution. We developed an
 individual-based simulation framework in which the evolution of species
 phenotypes is determined by trait changes at the individual level
 accumulating across generations and cladogenesis occurs then by separation
 of subsets of the individuals into new lineages. Through simulations, we
 assess the magnitude of phenotypic jumps at cladogenesis under different
 modes of trait inheritance at speciation. We show that even small jumps
 can strongly alter both the results of model selection and parameter
 estimations, potentially affecting the biological interpretation of the
 estimated mode of evolution of a trait. Our results call for caution when
 interpreting analyses of trait evolution, while highlighting the
 importance of testing a wide range of alternative models. In the light of
 our findings, we propose that future methodological advances in
 comparative methods should more explicitly model the intra-specific
 variability around species mean phenotypes and how it is inherited at
 speciation.

title: Data from: Evaluation of the Laguerre-Gaussian mode purity produced by 3D-printed microwave spiral phase plates

description: Computer-aided design software and additive manufacturing provide
 flexibility in the direct fabrication of multi-material devices. This
 design and fabrication versatility has been investigated for the
 manufacture of dielectric spiral phase plates (SPP) to generate
 electromagnetic waves with helical wave-fronts. Three types of SPPs
 designed to produce an orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode number l=|1|
 were additively manufactured using multi-material extrusion and multijet
 fabrication methods. The phase mode and mode characteristics of
 transformed helical microwaves as a function of the SPP geometrical
 features was investigated experimentally in the 12 to 18 GHz frequency
 range, providing high purity at characteristic frequencies. The SPPs were
 further combined with an additively manufactured dielectric lens that
 provided a marked improvement in OAM mode purity. Finally, multiplexing
 and de-multiplexing of two OAM modes were demonstrated successfully using
 the optimum SPP geometry and design.
description: Two oppositely directed horns were fed by commercial Ku-band SMA
 coax via waveguide adaptors (Flann Microwave) connected to a vector
 network analyzer (Rhode&Schwarz ZNB20) for excitation and response
 measurement in the frequency range 12 to 18 GHz. A computer-controlled X-Y
 gantry system was used to move the receiver horn in a pre-programmed
 pattern to map complex scattering parameters in the plane perpendicular to
 the beam direction, positioned at approximately 35 wavelengths from the
 stationary source horn. The raw experimental data
 presents the table of the view (x, y, S21(12.0GHz), S21(12.5GHz),
 S21(13.0GHz), … S21(17.5GHz), S21(18.0GHz)  ) where x and y are the scans
 coordinate and S21(F) is the complex transmission parameter measured in
 this coordinate point at the frequency F (in the range 12–18 GHz with 0.5

title: Divergent microbiota of echinoid eggs separated by the Isthmus of Panama

description: Relationships between animals and their associated microbiota are
 dependent on the evolutionary history of the host and on the environment.
 The majority of studies tend to focus on one of these factors and rarely
 consider how both determine the community composition of the associated
 bacteria. One “natural experiment” to test how evolutionary history,
 shared environments, and the interaction between these factors drive
 community composition is to compare geminate species pairs. Echinoids
 separated by the Isthmus of Panama are suitable for this comparison due to
 the known evolutionary history and differences in oceanographic
 characteristics of the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean. By comparing the
 egg-associated microbiota of the Echinometra and Diadema
 geminate species pairs, we show that each pair of geminate species
 associates with a distinct bacterial community in a pattern consistent
 with phylosymbiosis, and that the interaction between the evolutionary
 history of the host and the environment best explain differences in these
 communities. Moreover, we found that particular microbial taxa differed
 considerably between, but not within, oceans and that the microbiota of
 the two Caribbean Echinometra species were dominated by the
 phototrophic Oxyphotobacteria. Taken together, data presented here support
 the hypothesis that the microbiota associated with geminate species are
 another characteristic of these taxa that diverged in ~2.8 million years
 of isolation.

title: Sexual size dimorphism is associated with reproductive life history trait differentiation in coexisting sepsid flies

description: Organismal life histories evolve as syndromes, resulting in correlated
 evolutionary differentiation of key traits that ultimately aid in
 discerning species. Reproductive success depends both on the absolute body
 size of an individual and its size relative to the opposite sex: sexual
 size dimorphism. In an attempt to further elucidate their coexistence and
 ecological diversification, we compared standard life history (first
 reproduction, clutch size, egg size) and associated reproductive trait
 differentiation of 15 widespread European sepsid fly species (Diptera:
 Sepsidae) under laboratory common garden conditions. Despite relatively
 uniform body sizes, sexual dimorphism ranged from female- to male-biased,
 and development time varied twofold across species. We expected, and
 found, the abundant and relatively large species (Sepsis cynipsea,
 punctum, thoracica) with often male-biased SSD to lay larger but fewer
 eggs and show fast-developing, fast-reproducing life histories with
 aggressive (coercive) mating behavior characterized by short mating
 latencies and male conflict. In contrast, the smaller and more dispersed
 species with female-biased SSD (S. flavimana, orthocnemis, violacea) laid
 smaller but more eggs, showing a generally slower life history with long
 and delayed copulation and oviposition, high mating reluctance fostering
 extensive inter-sexual conflict, and more elaborate male (pre-)copulatory
 courtship. Two Saltella species were exceptional, being large, developing
 slowly, nevertheless copulating soon after adult emergence, profusely and
 briefly. The documented life history differentiation seems partly driven
 by sexual selection leading to male-biased dimorphism, rather than
 undetermined ecological selection, which regardless appears insufficient
 to explain the coexistence and diversification of these sepsid species in
 European pastoral landscapes.

 section of the corresponding publication.

 cases, the focal individual either died, did not lay eggs, or could not be

title: An invasive amphibian drives antipredator responses in two prey at different trophic positions

description: Generalist invasive predators consume prey at different trophic levels and
 generate drastic changes in local communities. However, the long-term
 effects of predation may be reduced by eco-evolutionary responses of
 native populations. The capacity of prey species distributed across the
 trophic network to develop antipredator responses may determine the
 ecosystem potential to buffer against the invader. The African clawed frog
 is a major invader on several continents. Because of its large size,
 generalist diet, and aquatic lifestyle, we predicted the development of
 antipredator responses in prey species at different trophic levels. We
 tested for behavioral shifts between populations within and outside the
 invasive range in the herbivorous snail Physella acuta and the predatory
 heteropteran, the backswimmer Notonecta glauca. We detected antipredator
 responses in both prey species. In sympatry, P. acuta stayed higher in the
 water column, while N. glauca spent more time swimming underwater and less
 time surfacing when the predator cues were present. In allopatry, P. acuta
 dived deeper and N. glauca spent more time surfacing and stayed longer
 still underwater. In both species, sympatric populations showed evidence
 of olfactory recognition of the frog. Our results show that the
 introduction of a top predator like Xenopus laevis in the pond ecosystem
 drives behavioral antipredator responses in species across the trophic
 network. Eco-evolutionary processes may allow some degree of long-term
 resilience of pond communities to the invasion of X. laevis.

title: Data from: The ecology of the collapse of Rapa Nui society

description: Collapses of food producer societies are recurrent events in prehistory
 and have triggered a growing concern for identifying the underlying causes
 of convergences/divergences across cultures around the world. One of the
 most studied and used as a paradigmatic case is the population collapse of
 the Rapa Nui society. Here, we test different hypotheses about by
 developing explicit population dynamic models that integrate feedbacks
 between climatic, demographic and ecological factors that underpinned the
 socio-cultural trajectory of these people. We evaluate our model outputs
 against a reconstruction of past population size based on archaeological
 radiocarbon dates from the island. The resulting estimated demographic
 declines of the Rapa Nui people are linked to the long-term effects of
 climate change on the island’s carrying capacity, and in turn on the “per
 capita food supply”.
description: The human population size proxy is based on the SPD obtained from
 244 archaeological radiocarbon dates. This proxy assumes that temporal
 variations in the accumulation of
 archeological <sup>14</sup>C-dates on a given region reflect
 human energy consumption/production, which in turn is a function of
 regional demographic patterns.

title: Data from: Polyploid plants obtain greater fitness benefits from a nutrient acquisition mutualism

description: Polyploidy is a key driver of ecological and evolutionary processes in
 plants, yet little is known about its effects on biotic interactions. This
 gap in knowledge is especially profound for nutrient acquisition
 mutualisms, despite the fact that they regulate global nutrient cycles and
 structure ecosystems. Generalism in mutualistic interactions depends on
 the range of potential partners (niche breadth), the benefits obtained,
 and ability to maintain benefits across a variety of partners (fitness
 plasticity). Here, we determine how each of these is influenced by
 polyploidy in the legume-rhizobium mutualism. We inoculated a broad
 geographic sample of natural diploid and autotetraploid alfalfa (Medicago
 sativa) lineages with a diverse panel of Sinorhizobium bacterial
 symbionts. To analyze the extent and mechanism of generalism, we measured
 host growth benefits and functional traits. Autotetraploid plants obtained
 greater fitness enhancement from mutualistic interactions and were better
 able to maintain this across diverse rhizobial partners (i.e., low
 plasticity in fitness) relative to diploids. These benefits were not
 attributed to increases in niche breadth, but instead reflect increased
 rewards from investment in the mutualism. Polyploid plants displayed
 greater generalization in bacterial mutualisms relative to diploids
 illustrating another axis of advantage for polyploids over diploids.

 experiment in a growth chamber at the University of Pittsburgh.

title: Early maternal separation is not associated with changes in telomere length in domestic kittens (Felis catus)

description: Objective The objective of this study was to determine if premature
 separation from the mother affected telomere length in domestic kittens
 (Felis catus) at one and eight weeks of life. Subjects were 42 orphaned
 kittens and 10 mother-reared kittens from local animal rescue groups and
 shelters. Blood (200 µl) was collected from kittens at 1 and 8 weeks of
 age via jugular venipuncture. Telomere length was assessed by qPCR
 (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) from 86 samples and expressed as
 a ratio of telomere PCR relative to a single copy gene PCR (T/S). Results
 A generalized linear model found no differences between groups in telomere
 ratio at one (F(1, 18.6) = 0.01, p = 0.91) or eight weeks of age (F(1, 20)
 = 0.54, p = 0.47), or between week 1 and week 8 (t(84) = 0.11, p =0.91).
 There were no detectable differences in telomere length between orphaned
 and mother-reared kittens at either one or eight weeks of age. Although
 telomere shortening is commonly associated with aging, even early in life,
 we also did not find evidence for telomere shortening between week one and
 week eight.
