Supplementary materials for "Modeling the geographical distributions of Chordodes formosanus and its mantis hosts in Taiwan, with considerations for their niche overlaps"
<p>Species distribution model (SDM) has conventionally been used for evaluating the<br> distribution of single species, but comparisons between different SDMs are possible for<br> evaluating the geographic similarity between taxa. Here we used a parasite and host system<br> to infer the geographic overlaps between species with tight biological interaction, e.g.<br> parasites and their obligate host; specifically, we used the horsehair worm <em>Chordodes<br> formosanus</em> and its three different mantis hosts to study the extent of niche overlap. We<br> retrieved presence points for the host species and the parasite and we built the SDMs with<br> MaxEnt implemented in ENMeval by using selected bioclim variables (based on VIF values)<br> at a 30 seconds scale. The models showed that the hosts and parasite do not occur in the high<br> elevation areas in Taiwan, which was expected based on their biology. Interestingly, the<br> predicted parasite distribution included areas without collection records, implying local<br> extinction or sampling bias. We subsequently evaluated niche overlap between hosts and the<br> parasite according to five similarity indices (Schoener’s D, I statistic, relative rank, Pearson<br> correlation coefficient and the rank correlation coefficient<em> rho</em>). Our models showed high<br> similarity of SDM predictions between hosts and the parasite. There were differences among<br> metrics about which host shared the highest similarity with the parasite, but the majority of<br> the results indicated that the Japanese boxing mantis has the highest niche similarity with the<br> horsehair worm. The choice of the niche overlap metric to use can be seen as a way to get<br> informations on the parasite’s ecology, which can be important for endangered species SDMs<br> are reliable tools for host and parasite conservation management and could help to improve<br> biological and ecological knowledge of parasites.</p>

Data for: The costs and benefits of polyandry in a sexually cannibalistic mantis
<p><span>Mating with more than one male often provides direct or indirect benefits to female fitness but can also increase the chance of injury and death. Costs of mating are expected to increase linearly with increasing mating number. But how such costs interact with benefits to determine the net payoff of mating multiply is not well understood. Using the highly cannibalistic Springbok mantis, Miomantis caffra, a species where females are stabbed in the abdomen by males during violent premating struggles that males initiate to avoid being cannibalised, we took an experimental approach to assess the economics of polyandry under the risk of external, male-inflicted injury. We predicted that females that mate multiply would be more likely to show abdominal injuries, have higher prereproductive mortality, produce fewer offspring, and be more likely to engage in pre-mating cannibalism to avoid unwanted matings. In line with our predictions, we found that the likelihood of abdominal injury was highest among females that mated at least once, and prereproductive death was highest among females that mated twice or three times. </span><span>Virgin females completely avoided these costs and produced some offspring parthenogenetically but not enough to provide a net benefit. </span><span>Although mating was better than not mating, there was no singularly optimal mating number: </span><span>females that mated once and three times produced similarly high numbers of offspring from the first ootheca, which resulted in an intermediate trough in offspring production at two matings. We also found little evidence that cannibalism was deployed as a mate-avoidance strategy: females consistently attacked and consumed males regardless of how many times they mated or how long they were housed with males. Our results suggest the possibility of two distinct mating strategies in M. caffra, where females either mate at a lower frequency to minimise costs or at a higher frequency to maximise benefits. We discuss possible explanations for this bimodal pattern in offspring production.</span></p>
Data for: Should females cannibalise with or without mating in the facultatively parthenogenetic springbok mantis
<p><span>Non-copulatory cannibalism, which occurs when females attack and consume males instead of mating with them, could persist if it enhances female fecundity more than it exacerbates reproductive failure. However, females that are facultatively parthenogenetic may be able to cannibalise indiscriminately since securing a mate is not necessary for reproduction when parthenogenesis is possible. We used an experimental approach to examine the economics of cannibalism with and without mating for female Miomantis caffra—a facultatively parthenogenetic mantis that shows high rates of non-copulatory cannibalism. If non-copulatory cannibalism is maintained by fecundity enhancement, we predicted that eating a male would boost female fitness regardless of mating status. If non-copulatory cannibalism persists by facilitating total mating avoidance, then we predicted that mating would be costly, and females would perform better via parthenogenesis than via sex. Contrary to our predictions, we found that mating once led to dramatically higher fitness than not mating, and cannibalising a single male provided no overall fitness benefit to either mated or unmated females. Our results suggest that precopulatory cannibalism persists in M. caffra for reasons other than fecundity enhancement or total mating avoidance.</span></p>
