DATA FROM: BREEDING SUCCESS BUT NOT MATE CHOICE IS PHENOTYPE- AND CONTEXT-DEPENDENT IN A COLOR POLYMORPHIC RAPTOR

[Usage Notes] Dataset. Dataset used in the analysis of breeding output of the color polymorphic Eleonora's falcon., Morph-specific mate choice has been proposed as one of the evolutionary mechanisms that contribute to the maintenance of variation in color polymorphic systems. Coloration usually covaries with other phenotypic traits affecting life history and thus is often used as a criterion for mate choice. Here, we assess whether mating patterns, natal dispersal, and breeding output are phenotype-dependent in the color polymorphic Eleonora’s falcon. We used a long-term dataset of 946 individually ringed adult falcons that included 109 individuals monitored from birth up to recruitment into the breeding population. Overall, patterns of mate choice with regard to coloration were neither assortative nor disassortative. Natal dispersal distance was greater in females but was not associated with coloration. Breeding success was both morph-dependent and context-dependent. Although clutch size was similar in differently colored pairs, differences arose in the number of chicks that fledge. In some years, dark males raised more offspring, regardless of female color morph. Differences in the breeding tactics between male morphs could be associated with intraspecific predation and may thus contribute to the observed differences in breeding output, especially when food availability is low. This suggests that mating patterns may interact with other factors and give rise to the observed higher breeding output of dark males only under certain environmental conditions., Peer reviewed

[Usage Notes] 16S amplicon sequencing and qPCR data. This archive contains 1) raw Illumina MiSeq reads (300bp, PE, Reagent Kit v3) for all bacterial 16S V3/V4 amplicons used in our study, 2) metadata for each sample/individual, formatted as a QIIME 1.9 mapping file, 3) preprocessed data and .biom tables used to generate our results using phyloseq 1.22.3, and 4) raw data from qPCR analyses used to generate our results. We used two databases, greengenes 13_8 and SILVA NR Small Subunit v128 to assign taxonomy in our study; the filenames of preprocessed data include the database used to generate each file. Szenteczki_et_al_P_alcon_16S_sequencing_and_qPCR_data.zip, Bacterial symbionts are known to facilitate a wide range of physiological processes and ecological interactions for their hosts. In spite of this, caterpillars with highly diverse life histories appear to lack resident microbiota. Gut physiology, endogenous digestive enzymes, and limited social interactions may contribute to this pattern, but the consequences of shifts in social activity and diet on caterpillar microbiota are largely unknown. Phengaris alcon caterpillars undergo particularly dramatic social and dietary shifts when they parasitize Myrmica ant colonies, rapidly transitioning from solitary herbivory to ant tending (i.e., receiving protein‐rich regurgitations through trophallaxis). This unique life history provides a model for studying interactions between social living, diet, and caterpillar microbiota. Here, we characterized and compared bacterial communities within P. alcon caterpillars before and after their association with ants, using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and quantitative PCR. After being adopted by ants, bacterial communities within P. alcon caterpillars shifted substantially, with a significant increase in alpha diversity and greater consistency in bacterial community composition in terms of beta dissimilarity. We also characterized the bacterial communities within their host ants (Myrmica schencki), food plant (Gentiana cruciata), and soil from ant nest chambers. These data indicated that the aforementioned patterns were influenced by bacteria derived from caterpillars’ surrounding environments, rather than through transfers from ants. Thus, while bacterial communities are substantially reorganized over the life cycle of P. alcon caterpillars, it appears that they do not rely on transfers of bacteria from host ants to complete their development., Peer reviewed

In order to guarantee the anonymity of the data, some auxiliary fieldwork variables, that do not provide any information on the survey subject, have been excluded., The post-election survey of the Andalusian regional election in Andalucía was carried out among people aged 18 years or older living in Andalusia by using the PACIS Citizen Panel as sampling frame. The obtained sample size is 1,037 interviews. The sample was selected among panellists belonging to PACIS. They were contacted by e-mail, by SMS and by telephone and completed the questionnaire via Internet (on a web page) or by telephone interview. Part of the sample was contacted through different channels until their answers were collected. To reach the sample of 1,037 interviews, 2,293 PACIS members were contacted (AAPOR RR1=45.2%). Sample was selected randomly stratifying by age and sex of PACIS members, with proportional allocation. As a consequence of non-response, the resulting sample is not proportional to the Andalusian population. We have computed calibration weights following the raking method with the variables of sex and age, level of studies and municipal population size and taking the Andalusian population totals as a reference. This way, the sample is adjusted, in these variables, to the Andalusian population. The average duration of the interview was 17 minutes. The maximum sampling error is ±3%., The collected information was cleaned-up, correcting errors and detecting outlier data. Data recording was automatic and coding of open-ended questions was done manually. Fieldwork was monitored continuously by reviewing the compliance of the sample and analysing and treating non-response., The sample is calibrated by sex and age groups, education level and municipal size, with the latest available data from the Register of Population and the Labour Force Survey for education level. Calibration weigths are included in variable PESO., This study was conducted in accordance with UNE-ISO 20252 and ISO9001 standards. Before launching the fieldwork, two pretests of the questionnaire were carried out, the first one in CATI and CAWI and the second one only in CAWI. The recordings of the CATI interviews were subjected to exhaustive quality control (listening by supervisors)., The codebook in Spanish and translated to English are available as different files: - Postelection_codebook_SP.pdf - Postelection_codebook_EN.pdf, [EN] On 2 December 2018, elections were held to mark the beginning of the 11th legislature of the Andalusian Parliament. The election day resulted in the second lowest turnout in Andalusian elections (56.6%), the change of government and the obtaining of parliamentary representation of an extreme right-wing party for the first time in the recent democratic history of our country. The end of the two-party system, the emergence of new parties and the increase in voter volatility are features that have characterised many of the general and regional elections held in Spain, and in other neighbouring countries, since 2014. The analysis of the behaviour of Andalusian voters in these elections, in addition to being of interest in itself, provides relevant information to answer the questions posed by the new party system in our country. This data file contains the results of a survey designed with the aim of delving deeper into the reasons that led a significant part of the Andalusian electorate to abstain and the reasons given by those who voted as they did. The survey on 2D electoral behaviour is the eighth that IESA/CSIC has carried out using the Citizens' Panel for Social Research in Andalusia (PACIS) and was answered by 1,037 people aged 18 and over. Of these, 751 completed the questionnaire online and 286 by telephone interview (CATI). The fieldwork was conducted between 1 and 28 March 2019. In addition to the typical questions on electoral behaviour, the questionnaire included other questions aimed at investigating the explanatory factors of abstention and voting in this particular election. PACIS is a tool that was set up by the IESA-CSIC (http://www.iesa.csic.es) for the collection of quality information in research for scientific purposes or to improve public management, with the autonomous community of Andalusia as its geographical area of reference. It consisted of a group of households selected at random to be representative of the Andalusian population. People over 16 years of age who live in these households periodically answered questionnaires on various topics of general interest for Andalusia., [ES] El 2 de diciembre de 2018 se celebraron las elecciones que dieron inicio a la XI legislatura del Parlamento de Andalucía. La jornada electoral se saldó con la segunda participación más baja en elecciones andaluzas (56,6%), el cambio de gobierno y la obtención de representación parlamentaria de un partido de extrema derecha por primera vez en la historia democrática reciente en nuestro país. El fin del bipartidismo, la aparición de nuevos partidos y el aumento de la volatilidad de los electores son rasgos que han caracterizado muchas de las convocatorias de elecciones generales y autonómicas celebradas en España, y en otros países de nuestro entorno, desde 2014. El análisis del comportamiento de los electores andaluces en esos comicios, además de tener interés en sí mismo, proporciona información relevante para dar respuesta a las incógnitas que plantea el nuevo sistema de partidos en nuestro país. Este fichero de datos recoge los resultados de una encuesta diseñada con el objetivo de profundizar en los motivos que llevaron a una parte significativa del electorado andaluz a abstenerse y las razones que aducen quienes votaron para hacerlo como lo hicieron. La encuesta sobre el comportamiento electoral del 2D es la octava que el IESA/CSIC llevó a cabo empleando el Panel Ciudadano para la Investigación Social en Andalucía (PACIS) y fue respondida por 1.037 personas de 18 años y más. De estas, 751 cumplimentaron el cuestionario a través de internet y 286 mediante entrevista telefónica (CATI). El trabajo de campo se realizó entre el 1 y el 28 de marzo de 2019. Además de las preguntas típicas sobre comportamiento electoral, el cuestionario incluía otras más destinadas a indagar en los factores explicativos de la abstención y el voto en esta convocatoria concreta. El PACIS es una herramienta que fue puesta en marcha por el IESA-CSIC para la recogida de información de calidad en investigaciones con fines científicos o de mejora de la gestión pública que tiene como ámbito geográfico de referencia la comunidad autónoma andaluza. Lo forman un conjunto de hogares seleccionados al azar para que sean representativos de la población andaluza. Las personas mayores de 16 años que residen en estos hogares respondían periódicamente a cuestionarios sobre diversos temas de interés general para Andalucía., EP-1901 8ª Wave.

DATA FROM: JUVENILE PLUMAGE WHITENESS IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE EVOLUTION OF CLUTCH SIZE IN PASSERINES

[Usage Notes] Table S1: The table includes data of juvenile whiteness (ventral and tail/wing whiteness), average clutch size, the species body mass, the number of broods and predation rate. trees: This file includes 100 trees downloaded from Birdtree.org for the 210 bird species used in the main analyses., The offspring of many animals are conspicuous during parental dependence, despite juveniles generally suffering from high predation risk. However, to date, it is unclear whether offspring structural ornaments play a role in intra-family communication. This is the case of conspicuous plumage in young birds, which is worn unchanged during a long period after fledging, when they still depend on their parents. If plumage color facilitates intra-family interactions, its role should be more important in large-brooded species, where the strength of intra-family conflict is potentially stronger. We therefore performed a comparative study in 210 passerine bird species to test whether an offspring structural trait, white plumage, evolves more frequently in lineages with larger clutches. We also explored the number of broods raised per year as another source of intra-family conflict. First, we found that juvenile whiteness was more frequent in open-nesting species. Moreover, in agreement with our prediction, the presence of juvenile white tail/wing patches was strongly and positively associated with clutch size. This relationship was not due to the strong resemblance between offspring and adult plumage, which was controlled for in the statistical analyses. Moreover, the association remained significant after taking into account predation risk, for which there was information for a subset of species. In contrast, juvenile whiteness was not associated with the number of broods raised per year. These results may suggest that the evolution of juvenile conspicuousness is favored in species with potentially stronger intra-brood sibling conflict., Peer reviewed

[Usage Notes] Martin et al_2019_datatables Data used in Martin et al. (2019) compiled from 49 studies and 1,515 landscapes across Europe. Includes data on the abundance of arthropod species per site and data on pollination, natural pest control and yields in crops across Europe. Martin et al_2019_data tables_300319.xlsx Martin et al_2019_traits database Functional traits data for 2088 species (morphospecies, individuals) from 144 arthropod families sampled in agricultural landscapes across Europe. All traits are categorical and based on published literature or expert knowledge. They are described in Table 1 and Appendix S1 of Martin et al. (2019). The traits included are: feeding habit ('Functional group'), diet breadth, agricultural specialism, diet life history, overwintering habitat, dispersal mode, and stratum. Species' names were resolved in R package taxize., Managing agricultural landscapes to support biodiversity and ecosystem services is a key aim of a sustainable agriculture. However, how the spatial arrangement of crop fields and other habitats in landscapes impacts arthropods and their functions is poorly known. Synthesising data from 49 studies (1515 landscapes) across Europe, we examined effects of landscape composition (% habitats) and configuration (edge density) on arthropods in fields and their margins, pest control, pollination and yields. Configuration effects interacted with the proportions of crop and non‐crop habitats, and species’ dietary, dispersal and overwintering traits led to contrasting responses to landscape variables. Overall, however, in landscapes with high edge density, 70% of pollinator and 44% of natural enemy species reached highest abundances and pollination and pest control improved 1.7‐ and 1.4‐fold respectively. Arable‐dominated landscapes with high edge densities achieved high yields. This suggests that enhancing edge density in European agroecosystems can promote functional biodiversity and yield‐enhancing ecosystem services., Peer reviewed

[Usage Notes] Oriol_fasta_files_for_submission Oriol fasta files for submission.zip, The encroachment of shrubs into grasslands is common in terrestrial ecosystems dominated by grass. Land abandonment and favourable climatic trends in recent decades have favoured the expansion of shrubs into subalpine grasslands in many mountainous regions across Europe. The advance of the succession from grassland to shrubland is expected to have a major impact on ecosystem functioning. We used DNA metabarcoding to assess whether the structure of soil fungal communities varied along the succession from subalpine grassland to shrubland in the Pyrenees, and investigated whether shrub encroachment was associated with changes in soil properties. The expansion of shrubs increased the soil C:N ratio and/or reduced the N, P, or K contents. Plant-driven changes in soil properties were strongly associated with the compositional turnover of fungi, including arbuscular mycorrhizal, ectomycorrhizal, ericoid, root endophytic, saprotrophic, lichenised, and pathogenic fungi. Total richness and the richness of most functional groups were correlated with soil P, N, and the C:N or N:P ratios. We show that the interplay between abiotic factors (changes in soil properties) and biotic factors (occurrence and identity of shrubs) played a key role in the structure and uniqueness of soil fungal communities along the succession., Peer reviewed

[Usage Notes] Dataset S6_Cubas et al_PRSB All biotic and abiotic data used in Cubas et al. (2019) "Endemic plant species are more palatable to introduced herbivores than non-endemics" can be accessed in Dataset S6., Islands harbour a spectacular diversity and unique species composition. This uniqueness is mainly a result of endemic species that have evolved in-situ in the absence of mammal herbivores. However, island endemism is under severe threat by introduced herbivores. We test the assumption that endemic species are particularly vulnerable to generalist introduced herbivores (European rabbit) using an unprecedented dataset covering an entire island with enormous topographic, climatic and biological diversity (Tenerife, Canary Islands). With increasing endemism, plant species are more heavily browsed by rabbits than non-endemic species with up to 67% of endemics being negatively impacted by browsing, indicating a dramatic lack of adaptation to mammal herbivory in endemics. Ecosystems with high percent endemism are most heavily browsed, suggesting ecosystem-specific vulnerability to introduced herbivores, even within islands. It is of highest priority to protect global biodiversity caused by disproportionally high endemism on oceanic islands through ecosystem-specific herbivore control and eradication measures., Peer reviewed

Zancolli et al.ProcB_dataset.xlsx, Understanding the origin and maintenance of phenotypic variation, particularly across a continuous spatial distribution, represents a key challenge in evolutionary biology. For this, animal venoms represent ideal study systems: they are complex, variable, yet easily quantifiable molecular phenotypes with a clear function. Rattlesnakes display tremendous variation in their venom composition, mostly through strongly dichotomous venom strategies, which may even coexist within single species. Here, through dense, widespread population-level sampling of the Mojave rattlesnake, Crotalus scutulatus, we show that genomic structural variation at multiple loci underlies extreme geographic variation in venom composition, which is maintained despite extensive gene flow. Unexpectedly, neither diet composition nor neutral population structure explain venom variation. Instead, venom divergence is strongly correlated with environmental conditions. Individual toxin genes correlate with distinct environmental factors, suggesting that different selective pressures can act on individual loci independently of their co-expression patterns or genomic proximity. Our results challenge common assumptions about diet composition as the key selective driver of snake venom evolution and emphasise how the interplay between genomic architecture and local-scale spatial heterogeneity in selective pressures may facilitate the retention of adaptive functional polymorphisms across a continuous space., Peer reviewed

[Usage Notes] raw_data_thermal_experiment This data file contains information related to outcomes of the thermal experiments performed with different species of the Mediterranean coralligenous assemblages in 2012 and 2017., Climate change threatens coastal benthic communities on a global scale. However, the potential effects of ongoing warming on mesophotic temperate reefs at the community level remain poorly understood. Investigating how different members of these communities will respond to the future expected environmental conditions is, therefore, key to anticipating their future trajectories and developing specific management and conservation strategies. Here, we examined the responses of some of the main components of the highly diverse Mediterranean coralligenous assemblages to thermal stress. We performed thermotolerance experiments with different temperature treatments (from 26 to 29°C) with 10 species from different phyla (three anthozoans, six sponges and one ascidian) and different structural roles. Overall, we observed species‐specific contrasting responses to warming regardless of phyla or growth form. Moreover, the responses ranged from highly resistant species to sensitive species and were mostly in agreement with previous field observations from mass mortality events (MMEs) linked to Mediterranean marine heat waves. Our results unravel the diversity of responses to warming in coralligenous outcrops and suggest the presence of potential winners and losers in the face of climate change. Finally, this study highlights the importance of accounting for species‐specific vulnerabilities and response diversity when forecasting the future trajectories of temperate benthic communities in a warming ocean., Peer reviewed

DATA FROM: FAILED PREDATOR ATTACKS HAVE DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS ON ANTIPREDATORY CAPABILITIES THROUGH DEVELOPMENTAL PLASTICITY IN PELOBATES CULTRIPES TOADS

  • Zamora-Camacho, Francisco J.

1. How predation events experienced by preys can shape phenotypic traits through the ontogenetic development of the interacting species should be a key issue in Evolutionary and Conservation Biology. 2. Locomotor performance plays a fundamental role on the fitness of many animals, mainly because it enhances ability to fleeing from predators. Predators represent indeed a capital selective force on prey, mainly because they end prey life. However, predators may also damage prey by other means, such as injuries caused by failed attacks. This damage can severely affect locomotion, among several other aspects of prey fitness. In the case of anuran tadpoles, failed predator attacks often result in injured tails, which reduces swimming performance. However, little is known about lasting effects of those failed attacks on fleeing capabilities after metamorphosis. 3. In this work, we clipped 55% tail length of pre-tail-resorption stage anaesthetized larval Pelobates cultripes toads, and compared metamorph hindlimb length and jump distance with metamorphs resulting from anaesthetized and non-anaesthetized non-clipped controls. Previous findings showed that this treatment produced metamorphs with reduced body condition. 4. Results herein suggest that partial tail loss in tadpoles diminishes jumping performance of resultant metamorphs. This effect is likely a consequence of tail-clipped tadpoles developing shorter hindlimbs as metamorphs, which is parallel to their reduced body condition. 5. Therefore, predator attacks in the tail may be less potentially mortal than those in the head and body, but have costs in terms of an efficient antipredatory response that persist in post-metamorphic stage. This effect might compromise metamorph ability to survive subsequent predator attacks., Peer reviewed
