This dataset represents an extensive study on the quantitative genetics of eggshell coloration in Spotless starling (Sturnus unicolor). The study was conducted over 8 years and involved the detailed recording of various attributes related to eggs, nests, and parentage among bird individuals. The primary aim was to analyse the genetic architecture of chromatic and achromatic colour components (blue-green chroma, chroma and lightness) and size (volume) of starling eggs. The text file contains the pedigree (non-pruned) used in the animal model., We monitored the breeding of a population of spotless starlings (Sturnus unicolor) from 2012 to 2019 nesting in 250 nest boxes in an open woodland in Soto del Real, central Spain. At the beginning of every season, from early March until about a week before the first eggs were found, we captured the pairs roosting in the nests before sunrise. Bird identities of previously captured individuals were confirmed by both the ring number and the unique code of a passive integrative transponder tag (PIT-tags: Trovan Ltd., Douglas, UK). Previously unmarked individuals were ringed and PIT-tagged by inserting the transponder under the skin of the upper third of the back. Later in the season, fledglings were similarly marked to ease their future identification as recruits. Once pairs were established and the eggs laid, mothers were identified at night during incubation through a medium-distance PIT-tag reader (GR-250, Trovan Ltd., Douglas, UK) allowing us to unambiguously assign each clutch to a female., Exploring the evolutionary architecture of female sexual traits and their potential evolvability is important to understand their possible role as post-mating sexual signals. Egg colouration has been proposed to be one of these post-mating sexual signals, honestly advertising female quality in birds, especially in blue-green laying species. In this study, we used an animal model in a Bayesian framework to estimate the evolvability of multiple descriptors of blue-green egg colouration and egg size in a wild long-term monitored population of spotless starlings (Sturnus unicolor). Our results show low to moderate heritability (h2 = 0.31 – 0.44) for three egg colour descriptors (blue-green chroma, chroma and lightness) and egg size. Using the coefficient of additive genetic variance (CVA) and the evolvability (IA) as proxies of evolutionary potential of all components of this trait, we found low values of CVA for all these variables, suggesting a small evolutionary potential of these phenotypic traits, contrasting to previous results reported in another blue-green egg laying species. Our results indicate a modest raw genetic material of this trait on which sexual selection can act upon and, therefore, a small probability for these traits to respond easily to selection., Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades.

NSCdata: This database contains seasonal non-structural carbohydrates data (NSC; including total NSC, starch and soluble sugars) for terrestrial land plants (global scope), and it is based on a compilation of data from the literature. We selected only data that fulfilled the following criteria: (1) study duration was at least four months, (2) the same individuals or populations were measured at least three times spanning the length of the study, (3) plants were mature, (4) measurements were taken on leaves, stems, or belowground organs, (5) tissue was not bark, phloem or cortex, (6) values reported were total NSC, starch/fructans or soluble sugars, and (7) species were land plants (i.e., saltwater and freshwater species were not included)., NSCdata_sources: This file lists the sources of all the individual datasets included in our final NSC database (”NSCdata_DRYAD.csv” file)., Plants store large amounts of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC). While multiple functions of NSC have long been recognized, the interpretation of NSC seasonal dynamics is often based on the idea that stored NSC is a reservoir of carbon that fluctuates depending on the balance between supply via photosynthesis and demand for growth and respiration (the source-sink dynamics concept). Consequently, relatively high NSC concentrations in some plants have been interpreted to reflect excess supply relative to demand. An alternative view, however, is that NSC accumulation reflects the relatively high NSC levels required for plant survival; an important issue that remains highly controversial. Here, we assembled a new global database to examine broad patterns of seasonal NSC variation across organs (leaves, stems and belowground), plant functional types (coniferous, drought deciduous angiosperms, winter deciduous angiosperms, evergreen angiosperms, and herbaceous) and biomes (boreal, temperate, Mediterranean and tropical). We compiled data from 123 studies, including seasonal measurements for 179 species under natural conditions. Our results showed that, on average, NSC account for ~10% of dry plant biomass and are highest in leaves and lowest in stems, whereas belowground organs show intermediate concentrations. Total NSC, starch and soluble sugars (SS) varied seasonally, with a strong depletion of starch during the growing season and a general increase during winter months, particularly in boreal and temperate biomes. Across functional types, NSC concentrations were highest and most variable in herbaceous species and in conifer needles. Conifers showed the lowest stem and belowground NSC concentrations. Minimum NSC values were relatively high (46% of seasonal maximums on average for total NSC) and, in contrast to average values, were similar among biomes and functional types. Overall, although starch depletion was relatively common, seasonal depletion of total NSC or SS was rare. These results are consistent with a dual view of NSC function: whereas starch acts mostly as a reservoir for future use, soluble sugars perform immediate functions (e.g., osmoregulation) and are kept above some critical threshold. If confirmed, this dual function of NSC will have important implications for the way we understand and model plant carbon allocation and survival under stress., Peer reviewed

The file of “Figures” contains all figures in the main text., Discerning how climate change drives species succession for forecasting future forest composition is a fundamental challenge. Controlled experiments have suggested that climatic warming accelerates species succession, putting pioneer species at a disadvantage. Warmers conditions would thus be expected to accelerate successional dynamics in populations at the limits of their thermal ranges, such as alpine treelines where conditions are harsh. We tested this hypothesis by reconstructing the spatiotemporal patterns of two tree species, the early- and late-successional Himalayan birch and Himalayan fir, respectively, at alpine treelines. We also examined how species interactions and successional strategies affect treeline dynamics using plot data and by fitting an individually based treeline model. Fir showed increasing recruitment and a higher rate of upslope shift (0.11 ± 0.02 m y-1) compared to birch (0.06 ± 0.03 m y-1) over the last 200 years. Spatial analyses evidenced that strong competition between these two species, particularly when the trees were young. Following an initial colonization by birch, fir started to establish 21 years later. Model outputs from various warming scenarios indicate that fir will likely accelerate its upslope movement in response to higher temperatures. By contrast, birch recruitment tends to decline with warming, forming stable treelines. Our findings point to accelerating successional dynamics in mixed treelines with late-successional species rapidly outcompeting pioneer species. Our findings provide strong evidence that climatic warming is affecting forest composition at climatically controlled range limits, offering a crucial insight into future changes and their threat on ecosystem services and conservation of bioresources., National Science and Technology Major Project of China ：Second Tibetan Plateau Scientific Expedition and Research Programme (STEP)（2019QZKK0000）, Peer reviewed
