Data from: Gene expression under thermal stress varies across a geographic range expansion front
Many ectothermic species are currently expanding their distributions polewards due to anthropogenic global warming. Molecular genetic mechanisms facilitating range expansion under these conditions are largely unknown, but understanding these could help mitigate expanding pests and disease vectors, or help explain why some species fail to track changing climates. Here, using RNA-seq data, we examine genome-wide changes in gene expression under heat and cold stress in the range-expanding damselfly Ischnura elegans in northern Europe. We find that both the number of genes involved and levels of gene expression under heat stress have become attenuated during the expansion, consistent with a previously-reported release from selection on heat tolerances as species move polewards. Genes upregulated under cold stress differed between core and edge populations, corroborating previously-reported rapid adaptation to cooler climates at the expansion front. Expression of sixty-nine genes exhibited a region x treatment effect; these were primarily upregulated in response to heat stress in core populations but in response to cold stress at the range edge, suggesting that some cellular responses originally adapted to heat stress may switch to cold stress functionality upon encountering novel thermal selection regimes during range expansion. Transcriptional responses to thermal stress involving heat shock and neural function genes were largely geographically conserved, while retrotransposon, regulatory, muscle function and defence gene expression patterns were more variable. Flexible mechanisms of cold stress response and the ability of some genes to shift their function between heat and cold stress might be key mechanisms facilitating rapid poleward expansion in insects.
Data from: Mass-independent maximal metabolic rate predicts geographic range size of placental mammals
1.Understanding the mechanisms driving geographic range sizes of species is a central issue in ecology, but remarkably few rules link physiology with the distributions of species. Maximal metabolic rate (MMR) during exercise is an important measure of physiological performance. It sets an upper limit to sustained activity and locomotor capacity, so MMR may influence ability to migrate, disperse, and maintain population connectivity. Using both conventional ordinary least squares (OLS) analyses and phylogenetically generalized least squares (PGLS), we tested whether MMR helps explain geographic range size in 51 species of placental mammals. 2.Log body mass alone (OLS r2 = 0.074, p = 0.053; PGLS r2 = 0.016, p = 0.373) and log MMR alone (OLS r2 = 0.140, p = 0.007; PGLS r2 = 0.061, p = 0.081) were weak predictors of log range size. 3.However, multiple regression of log body mass and log MMR accounted for over half of the variation in log range size (OLS R2 = 0.527, p < 0.001). The relationship was also strong after correcting for the phylogenetic non-independence (PGLS R2 = 0.417, p < 0.001). 4.In analyses restricted to rodents (34 species), neither log body mass alone (OLS r2 = 0.004, p = 0.720; PGLS r2 = 0.003, p = 0.77) nor log MMR alone was useful in predicting log geographic range size (OLS r2 = 0.008, p = 0.626; PGLS r2 = 0.046, p = 0.225), but multiple regressions of log body mass and log MMR accounted for roughly a third to a half of the variation in log range size (OLS R2= 0.443, p < 0.001, PGLS r2 = 0.381, p < 0.001). 5.Mass-independent MMR is a strong predictor of mass-independent geographic range size in placental mammals. The ability of body mass and MMR to explain nearly 50% of the variation in the geographic ranges of mammals is surprising and powerful, particularly when neither variable alone is strongly predictive. 6.A better understanding of MMR during exercise may be important to understanding the limits of geographic ranges of mammals, and perhaps other animal groups.
