Elevational patterns in tropical bryophyte diversity differ among substrates: a case study on Baru volcano, Panama

Questions. Bryophytes attain their highest diversity in tropical mountain forests. Although distribution patterns have been described, little emphasis has been placed on comparing patterns among substrates (e.g., terrestrial, epiphytic). Understanding these patterns is important, because they determine not only the pool of genetic resources, but also the functioning of these forest ecosystems. Therefore, we studied how bryophyte species diversity changes with elevation, how elevational patterns differ between substrate types, and how elevational trends relate to environmental drivers. Location. Baru Volcano, Panama. Methods. At each of eight elevations, between 1900 and 3300 m, bryophytes were collected in 600-cm2 plots from six substrate types with four replicates. Species cover was registered as a measure of relative abundance. Species richness and community structure were determined and related to elevation, substrate types, and environmental drivers at three scales (plots, sets of four replicate plots per substrate per elevation, and all plots at each elevation). Results. Bryophyte species richness decreased towards higher elevations, at all three scales and on all substrates except bryophytes on soil, for which, at the plot scale, richness peaked at higher elevations than on the other substrates. Relative humidity explained richness slightly better than elevation. Communities at the lowest elevations had the most uneven compositions, due to the presence of many small species with low abundance. Conclusions. In studies on the spatial distribution of bryophyte diversity, it is essential to consider different substrates and spatial scales separately. If substrates differ in their elevational species-richness patterns, climate and land-use change may affect bryophyte diversity patterns not only directly, but also indirectly via changes in substrate availability. Therefore, a better understanding of the spatial variation in bryophyte diversity in mountains is essential to elucidate the effects of environmental change on this important group of plants and their implications for ecosystem functioning.

Life-history traits modulate the influence of environmental stressors on biodiversity: the case of fireflies, climate, and artificial light at night

Aim Artificial light at night (ALAN) is an unprecedented stressor recently introduced in the abiotic milieu of natural landscapes. As such, understanding how ALAN and other natural stressors act in concert to shape the spatial distribution of biodiversity is a core goal in conservation ecology. Here, we aim at understanding how ALAN and climate interact with life-history traits and courtship signalling systems to dictate the composition of firefly communities in a global biodiversity hotspot. Location An extensive elevational gradient in the Atlantic Rainforest (Brazil) currently known as the hottest hotspot of fireflies on Earth. Methods We used multivariate species distribution models to understand how species traits and courtship signalling systems interact with climate and ALAN to determine species abundances within firefly communities. We also investigated how species-specific responses to climate and ALAN scale up to determine compositional changes in firefly communities along the elevational gradient. Results We found that climate shapes communities by filtering species according to their body size and trophic position. ALAN dictates the dominant courtship signalling system within communities by affecting the abundance of species that use bioluminescence or a combination of bioluminescence and pheromones in courtship. We also found that associations between beta-diversity and ALAN were non-stationary, being higher in regions under low levels of light pollution. This suggests that even incipient increases in ALAN within protected areas can yield fast changes in the composition of firefly communities. Main Conclusions Firefly responses to climate and ALAN are modulated by traits associated with different facets of their life histories. Given the alarming changes in both stressors predicted for the foreseeable future, our findings indicate that firefly communities are vulnerable to compositional changes even within protected areas. --

Determinism and stochasticity in the spatial-temporal continuum of ecological communities: the case of tropical mountains

Ecological communities are assembled in a spatial-temporal continuum. However, we still have a poor understanding of the relative importance of different mechanisms structuring community composition (i.e., beta-diversity) in space and time. In this study, we start by introducing a conceptual model that capitalizes upon the core-occasional species concept to predict that the assembly process in tropical mountains is driven by the deterministic turnover of core species in space via habitat sorting, but the turnover of occasional species through time via stochastic events of colonization and local extinctions. We then propose a general analytical framework that allows assessing these predictions by partitioning the total variance of a species-by-site-by-time matrix (i.e., total beta-diversity) among its purely spatial (variation in space independent of time), purely temporal (variation in time independent of space), and spatiotemporal (i.e., variation across different sites across different moments in time) components. Through simulation models, we provided theoretical support that the proposed analytical framework is suitable to test the predictions derived from our conceptual model. We then used this framework to identify general patterns and quantify the relative importance of processes underlying the spatial and temporal organization of ten distinct insect metacommunities along a tropical elevational gradient. As predicted, we found that, across taxa, spatial beta-diversity was mainly explained by environmental variation alone: a pattern that indicates the spatial turnover of core species. In contrast, temporal beta-diversity could not be distinguished from the expectation of null models where communities are simply represented by random draws from species pools: a pattern that indicates a temporal turnover of occasional species within communities. Taken together, our findings illustrate how our conceptual model and quantitative framework can articulate a better understanding of community assembly in space and time.

Supplementary data for: From genomics to integrative taxonomy? The case study of Pocillopora corals

With the advent of genomics, sequencing thousands of loci from hundreds of individuals now appears feasible at reasonable costs, allowing complex phylogenies to be resolved. This is particularly relevant for cnidarians, for which insufficient data due to the small number of currently available markers, coupled with difficulties in inferring gene trees and morphological incongruences, encrypts species boundaries, thereby blurring the study and conservation of these organisms. Yet, can genomics alone be used to delimit species in an integrative taxonomic context? Here, focusing on the coral genus Pocillopora, which plays key roles in Indo-Pacific reef ecosystems but has challenged taxonomists for decades, we explored and discussed the usefulness of multiple criteria (genetics, morphology, biogeography and symbiosis ecology) to delimit species of this genus. Phylogenetic inferences, clustering approaches and species delimitation methods based on genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were first used to resolve Pocillopora phylogeny and propose genomic species hypotheses from 356 colonies sampled across the Indo-Pacific (western Indian Ocean, tropical southwestern Pacific and south-east Polynesia). These species hypotheses were then compared to previous genetic evidences, as well as to evidences based on morphology, biogeography and symbiosis. Genomics allowed to delimit 21 species hypotheses where only seven are currently recognised based on current taxonomy. Moreover, 13 species were strongly supported by all approaches, either confirming their currently recognised species status, or supporting the presence of new species that need to be formally described. Some of the other genomic species hypotheses were supported by biogeographic or symbiosis evidences, but additional investigations are needed to state on their species status. Altogether, our results support (1) the obsolescence of macromorphology (i.e., overall colony and branches shape) but the relevance of micromorphology (i.e., corallite structures) to refine Pocillopora species limits, (2) the need to identify molecularly species prior to their study, as morphology can blur species identification on the field, (3) the relevance of the mtORF (coupled with other markers in some cases) as a diagnostic marker of most species, and (4) the need for a taxonomical revision in the Pocillopora genus. These results give new insights into the usefulness of multiple criteria for resolving Pocillopora species limits and will ultimately provide helpful insights for the conservation of the species from this scleractinian genus.

Data from: An extreme case of plant-insect codiversification: figs and fig-pollinating wasps

It is thought that speciation in phytophagous insects is often due to colonization of novel host plants, because radiations of plant and insect lineages are typically asynchronous. Recent phylogenetic comparisons have supported this model of diversification for both insect herbivores and specialized pollinators. An exceptional case where contemporaneous plant–insect diversification might be expected is the obligate mutualism between fig trees (Ficus species, Moraceae) and their pollinating wasps (Agaonidae, Hymenoptera). The ubiquity and ecological significance of this mutualism in tropical and subtropical ecosystems has long intrigued biologists, but the systematic challenge posed by >750 interacting species pairs has hindered progress toward understanding its evolutionary history. In particular, taxon sampling and analytical tools have been insufficient for large-scale cophylogenetic analyses. Here, we sampled nearly 200 interacting pairs of fig and wasp species from across the globe. Two supermatrices were assembled: on an average, wasps had sequences from 77% of 6 genes (5.6 kb), figs had sequences from 60% of 5 genes (5.5 kb), and overall 850 new DNA sequences were generated for this study. We also developed a new analytical tool, Jane 2, for event-based phylogenetic reconciliation analysis of very large data sets. Separate Bayesian phylogenetic analyses for figs and fig wasps under relaxed molecular clock assumptions indicate Cretaceous diversification of crown groups and contemporaneous divergence for nearly half of all fig and pollinator lineages. Event-based cophylogenetic analyses further support the codiversification hypothesis. Biogeographic analyses indicate that the present-day distribution of fig and pollinator lineages is consistent with a Eurasian origin and subsequent dispersal, rather than with Gondwanan vicariance. Overall, our findings indicate that the fig-pollinator mutualism represents an extreme case among plant–insect interactions of coordinated dispersal and long-term codiversification.

Dataset: The availability and completeness of open funder metadata - Case study for publications funded by the Dutch Research Council

Data and code belonging to the manuscript: The availability and completeness of open funder metadata - Case study for publications funded by the Dutch Research Council  Abstract: Research funders spend considerable efforts collecting information on outcomes of the research they fund. To help funders track publication output associated with their funding, Crossref initiated FundRef in 2013, enabling publishers to register funding information using persistent identifiers. However, it is hard to assess the coverage of funder metadata because it is unknown how many articles are the result of funded research and therefore should include funder metadata.  In this paper we looked at 5,004 publications reported by researchers to be the result of funding by a specific funding agency: the Dutch Research Council NWO. Only 67% of these articles contain funding information in Crossref, with a subset acknowledging NWO as funder name and/or Funder IDs linked to NWO (53% and 45%, respectively).  Web of Science (WoS), Scopus and Dimensions are all able to infer additional funding information from funding statements in the full text of the articles. Funding information in Lens largely corresponds to that in Crossref, with some additional funding information likely taken from PubMed.   We observe interesting differences between publishers in the coverage and completeness of funding metadata in Crossref compared to proprietary databases, highlighting potential to increase the quality of open metadata on funding.  This dataset contains the following files: <ul> <li>DOIs_unique_CR_Lens_Wos_Scopus_Dim.csv - Dataset of unique DOIs (n= 5,004) with collected information from Crossref and presence/absence of funder information in Lens, Web of Science, Scopus  and Dimensions </li> <li>NWO_funder_names_Crossref.txt - List of funder name variants for NWO found in Crossref</li> <li>Google_Apps_Script.js - Google Apps Script for retrieving information from Crossref and processing Dimensions results </li> <li>DOI_cleaning.R - R script for cleaning DOIs</li> </ul>
