Data for: Temperature-mediated male condition shapes female fitness and oviposition preference in a butterfly
<p class="CxSpFirst">Habitat choice by ovipositing females critically shapes fitness in species lacking parental care. We aimed at manipulating female oviposition choosiness using the Glanville fritillary butterfly (<i>Melitaea cinxia</i>) as study species. We tested whether female choosiness is influenced by individual condition and/or that of the mating partner, which was manipulated experimentally by subjecting adults to night temperatures warmer than usual. Against our prediction, female life expectancy was not altered by the treatment and impacted her fitness only mildly. Males exposed to warm nights, on the other hand, lived shorter and females who mated with warm-exposed males sired larger clutches with higher hatching success, in line with the terminal investment hypothesis. We also tested whether females base their oviposition choices primarily on habitat type (open/shaded) or plant condition (dry/well-watered) under a semi-natural experimental set-up. We show that females choose primarily open habitats and within those habitats well-watered host plants. While female choosiness for oviposition was not affected by their own thermal treatment, mating with warm-exposed males also strengthened the female oviposition preference towards the generally preferred host plant species in this study (<i>Plantago lanceolata</i>). The present work brings new awareness on the often-neglected role of male condition in shaping female fitness and choice.</p>

Data from: Abiotic and biotic predictors of macroecological patterns in bird and butterfly coloration
Animal color phenotypes are invariably influenced by both their biotic community and the abiotic environments. A host of hypotheses have been proposed for how variables such as solar radiation, habitat shadiness, primary productivity, temperature, rainfall and community diversity might affect animal color traits. However, while individual factors have been linked to coloration in specific contexts, little is known about which factors are most important across broad taxonomic and geographic scales. Using data collected from 570 species of birds and 424 species of butterflies from Australia which inhabit an area spanning a latitudinal range of 35 degrees and covering deserts, tropical and temperate forests, savannas and heathlands, we test multiple hypotheses from the coloration literature and assess their relative importance. We show that bird and butterfly species exhibit more reflective and less saturated colors in better-lit environments, a pattern that is robust across an array of variables expected to influence the intensity or quality of ambient light in an environment. Both taxa display more diverse colors in regions with greater net primary production and longer growing seasons. Models that included variables related to energy inputs and resources in ecosystems have better explanatory power for bird and butterfly coloration overall than do models that included community diversity metrics. However, the diversity of the bird community in an environment was the single most powerful predictor of color pattern variation in both birds and butterflies. We observed strong similarities across taxa in the covariance between color and environmental factors, suggesting the presence of fundamental macro-ecological drivers of visual appearance across disparate taxa.
