Data from: Only helpful when required: a longevity cost of harbouring defensive symbionts
Maternally transmitted symbionts can spread in host populations if they provide a fitness benefit to their hosts. Hamiltonella defensa, a bacterial endosymbiont of aphids, protects hosts against parasitoids but only occurs at moderate frequencies in most aphid populations. This suggests that harbouring this symbiont is also associated with costs, yet the nature of these costs has remained elusive. Here we demonstrate an important and clearly defined cost: reduced longevity. Experimental infections with six different isolates of H. defensa caused strongly reduced lifespans in two different clones of the black bean aphid, Aphis fabae, resulting in a significantly lower lifetime reproduction. However, the two aphid clones were unequally affected by the presence of H. defensa, and the magnitude of the longevity cost was further determined by genotype × genotype interactions between host and symbiont, which has important consequences for their coevolution.
Odors of non-predatory species help prey moderate their risk assessment
<ol> <li><span>Prey use contemporary information to update their risk estimation, and accordingly, optimize their anti-predator reactions. Conceptualization of this process is largely focused on information that reflects predator activity. We aimed to complement this unilateral view by testing whether prey also use cues of non-predatory species to update their risk perception. </span></li> <li><span>We focused our investigation on the desert isopod <i>Hemilepistus reaumuri</i> that reacts defensively to excavated soil mounds, even in the absence of direct predator cues. We located in the field 18 isopod burrows and surrounded each with six soil mounds. One mound remained odorless, and the other five were supplemented with odors of a major isopod predator, the golden scorpion, and four sympatric species that do not prey on isopods, but excavate soil. </span></li> <li><span>Isopods augmented their defensive responses toward mounds supplemented by scorpion odors and lessened their anti-predator reactions toward mounds with odors of herbivore rodents. Isopods' responses to the odors of the two insectivorous species that do not eat isopods were similar to the reaction towards the odorless control mounds. </span></li> <li><span>Our results suggest that prey use non-predatory species cues to moderate their risk estimation. Therefore, we need to consider this potentially important source of information in studies of predator-prey interactions. Our findings also indicate cues of non-predatory species may not be adequate as control treatments to predator cues.</span></li> </ol>
Data from: Market forces influence helping behaviour in cooperatively breeding paper wasps
Biological market theory is potentially useful for understanding helping behaviour in animal societies. It predicts that competition for trading partners will affect the value of commodities exchanged. It has gained empirical support in cooperative breeders, where subordinates help dominant breeders in exchange for group membership, but so far without considering one crucial aspect: outside options. We find support for the existence of a biological market in paper wasps, Polistes dominula. We first show that females have a choice of cooperative partners. Second, by manipulating entire subpopulations in the field, we increased the supply of outside options for subordinates, freeing up suitable nesting spots and providing additional nesting partners. We predicted that by intensifying competition for help, our manipulation would force dominants to accept a lower price for group membership. As expected, subordinates reduced their foraging effort following our treatments. We conclude that to accurately predict the amount of help provided, social units cannot be viewed in isolation as has traditionally been done: the surrounding market must also be considered.
Multicellularity and sex helped shape the Tree of Life
<p>Across the Tree of Life, there are dramatic differences in species numbers among groups. However, the factors that explain the differences among the deepest branches have remained unknown. We tested whether multicellularity and sexual reproduction might explain these patterns, since the most species-rich groups share these traits. We found that groups with multicellularity and sexual reproduction have accelerated rates of species proliferation (diversification), and that multicellularity has a stronger effect than sexual reproduction. Patterns of species richness among clades are then strongly related to these differences in diversification rates. Taken together, these results help explain patterns of biodiversity among groups of organisms at the very broadest scales. They may also help explain the mysterious preponderance of sexual reproduction among species (the "paradox of sex") by showing that organisms with sexual reproduction proliferate more rapidly. </p>
Data from: Weather and topography regulate the benefit of a conditionally helpful parasite
<p>Heat-induced mass mortalities involving ecosystem engineers may have long-lasting detrimental effects at the community level, eliminating the ecosystem services they provide. Intertidal mussels are ecologically and economically valuable with some populations facing unprecedented heat-induced mass mortalities. Critically, mussels are also frequently infested by endolithic parasites that modify shell albedo, hence reducing overheating and mortality rates under heat stress. Using a biophysical model, we explored the topographical and meteorological conditions under which endolithically-driven thermal buffering becomes critical to survival. Based on meteorological data from a global climate analysis, we modelled body temperatures of infested and non-infested mussels over the last decade (2010-2020) at nine sites spread across ca. 20° of latitude. We show that thermal buffering is enhanced where and when heat stress is greatest, that is, on sun-exposed surfaces under high solar radiation and high air temperature. These results suggest that new co-evolutionary pathways are likely to open for these symbiotic organisms as climate continues to change, potentially tipping the balance of the relationship from a parasitic to a more mutualistic one. However, endolithically-driven reductions in body temperatures can also occur at or below optimal temperatures, thereby reducing the host's metabolic rates and making the interplay of positive and negative effects complex. In parallel, we hindcasted body temperatures using empirical data from nearby weather stations and found that predictions were very similar with those obtained from two global climate reanalyses (i.e., NCEP-DOE Reanalysis 2 and ECMWF Reanalysis v5). This result holds great promise for modelling the distribution of terrestrial ectotherms at ecologically relevant spatiotemporal scales, as it suggests we can reasonably bypass the practical issues associated with weather stations. For intertidal ectotherms, however, the challenge will be incorporating body temperatures over the full tidal cycle.</p>
Extreme temperatures help in identifying thresholds in phenological responses
<p>Aim: To investigate temperature drivers of the spring phenology of 12 flowering events and 6 leafing events. Boreal phenology has previously exhibited only a modest response to temperature but record breaking temperatures in March 2020 led to some extreme phenological timing and provided the opportunity for a more rigorous look at the nature and complexity of the relationship between temperature and phenology.</p> <p>Location: Boreal habitat in the Tatarstan Republic of Russia</p> <p>Time period: 1989-2020</p> <p>Major taxa studied: 18 plant species</p> <p>Methods: We examined for changes over time in the timing of phenological events and the relationship with temperature drivers using a range of regression techniques. Extreme temperatures caused some extreme phenology and visually suggested temperature thresholds which were investigated using segmented regression (broken stick models). The performance of these models was subsequently compared to more complex alternatives based on accumulated daily temperatures.</p> <p>Results: Temperatures in March 2020 were the warmest for this month in a record covering 200 years and were 5.9°C above the 1989-2020 average. Significant advances over time were detected for only seven of the events, but all events demonstrated significant relationships with temperature variables. Segmented regression identified significant temperature thresholds for 13 of the events with substantially stronger temperature relationships above these thresholds. Segmented regressions outperformed models based on accumulated daily temperatures for 12 of 18 events.</p> <p>Main conclusions: The threshold models were a significant improvement over a linear response to temperature for 13 of the 18 events. The presence of thresholds partly explains why the response of boreal phenology to temperature previously seemed lower than in, for example, Western Europe. Responses to temperature above the identified thresholds were closer to those widely published from milder locations.</p>
