Data in support of 'Mechanistic insights into plant community responses to environmental variables: genome size, cellular nutrient investments, and metabolic trade-offs.'
Data was collected to examine whether and how the plant genome size (GS) influences traits (stomata size, stomata density, cellular and tissue level carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) contents) and metabolic-tradeoffs (of photosynthesis, evapotranspiration, water-use, efficiency) of plants in treatment plots in which nothing, N, P, or NP had been annually added. Data was collected from ~500 plants from seven grassland sites that are all part of the Nutrient Network (https://nutnet.org), a globally distributed experiment in which plots have different nutrient amendment treatments that are administered identically to allow cross-site comparisons of the effects of nutrients on biodiversity patterning. The sites chosen varied along a North-South latitude, longitude, mean annual precipitation (MAP) and mean annual temperature (MAT) gradient.
MCR LTER: Coral Reef: Growth-predation risk trade-offs constrain the local distribution of a thicket-forming staghorn coral to marginal reef habitats; Data for Ladd et al., 2025, Scientific Reports.
This dataset is in support of the manuscript: Growth-predation risk tradeoffs constrain the local distribution of a thicket-forming staghorn coral to marginal reef habitats. These data were collected to 1) document how Acropora pulchra is distributed around the island of Moorea, and 2) to better understand the ecological processes that shape that distribution. Data include 1) results from surveys around the island of Moorea documenting the presence and size distribution of Acropora pulchra thickets, 2) results from an experiment measuring the growth and survivorship of Acropora pulchra fragments in the presence and absence of fish predators at nearshore fringing reef sites and adjacent sites in the mid lagoon (n = 20 sites in total), and 3) ancillary data on nitrogen content and dN15 in the tissue of the macroalgae Turbinaria ornata, sediment accumulation, and corallivore biomass at the experimental sites. All data were collected in 2016 and 2017.
Knowledge gaps on trade-offs of soil carbon sequestration related to soil management strategies
<p>The database contains 87 unique literature items (29 reviews, 42 meta-analyses, 16 original papers) describing the effect of a soil management strategy (tillage management, cropping systems, water management, cover crops, crop residues, livestock manure, slurry, compost, biochar, liming) on the trade-offs between soil carbon sequestration or SOC change and N2O emission, CH4 emission and nitrogen leaching. Since some literature items describe effects of several SMS categories, the database_summary tab comprises a total of 112 unique inputs. For each input it is indicated in the Database_summary tab if it was used as input for the "Soil management effect assessment" in Maenhout et al. (2024) [Maenhout, P., Di Bene, C., Cayuela, M.

Data from: Trade-offs in Coordination Strategies for Duet Jazz Performances Subject to Network Delay and Jitter
<p>This dataset is associated with the paper “Trade-offs in Coordination Strategies for Duet Jazz Performances Subject to Network Delay and Jitter” and includes recordings of improvisations by jazz duos over a network. The related paper is published in <em>Music Perception</em> and is accessible at <a href="https://doi.org/10.1525/mp.2024.42.1.48">doi:10.1525/mp.2024.42.1.48</a> </p> <p><strong>Introduction:</strong></p> <p>This dataset includes data from approximately four hours of live, improvised musical duo performances over a simulated network environment collected in Cambridge, United Kingdom between April-July 2022 as part of a doctoral research project. Data includes audio and video recordings of 130 individual performances, biometric data, and subjective evaluations and comments from the musicians. The primary aim of the project was to collect data via a novel performance capture and manipulation system for use in the empirical modelling of ensemble coordination strategies during networked music-making. This analysis is reported in Cheston, Cross, and Harrison (2023), "Trade-offs in Coordination Strategies for Networked Jazz Performances". Please refer to this publication for full details on the data collection procedure. Our codebook is <a href="https://github.com/HuwCheston/Jazz-Jitter-Analysis">hosted on GitHub</a> and, in conjunction with this dataset, can be used to reproduce the analysis contained in the article.</p> <p>The ten musicians shown in these recordings were recruited for their expertise in jazz improvisation. They were grouped into five duos consisting each of one pianist and drummer, with no musician performing in more than one duo. Participants were instructed to improvise together over a standard twelve-bar blues musical structure, but following a formula which required them to provide a clear and unambiguous pulse of continuous quarter notes. Varying amounts of network latency and jitter were simulated for each performance, consisting respectively of the minimum amount of delay applied to the live feedback a musician heard from their partner and the degree that this delay varied. The amount of latency and jitter applied to the performance is summarised in the file or directory name for each performance and is described in detail in the above publication. Note that latency and jitter conditions were presented in a random order for each duo.</p> <p><strong>Data collected includes:</strong></p> <ul> <li>audio recordings for each performance, with and without delay, collected via direct line-in (MIDI, WAV).</li> <li>video recordings, collected via high-quality webcams (MKV, AVI).</li> <li>streams of the quarter note pulse provided by each musician in a performance (MIDI).</li> <li>muxed audio-visual recordings of both participants in each performance (MP4)</li> <li>accelerometer and photoplethysmography streams, collected from arm-worn devices (TXT, duos 3-5 only)</li> <li>questionnaire responses from performers, evaluating each condition (XLSX)</li> <li>ratings of performance quality from an unbiased sample of listeners, collected during an online perceptual study (CSV)</li> </ul> <p><strong>Repository structure:</strong></p> <p><strong><em>NB: please see <a href="https://huwcheston.github.io/Jazz-Jitter-Analysis/getting-started.html">this section of the code documentation website</a> for a full description of how to recreate the analyses and models created in the paper.</em></strong></p> <p>The files <em>data.zip </em>and <em>data.z0*</em> contain all data collected from the study, APART from the perceptual study stimuli & results.

Data from: Macro-evolutionary trade-offs as the basis for the distribution of European bats
<p>We have compiled a dataset of life history traits and distribution characteristics of 30 European bat species, based on a literature study of a total of 56 primary and secondary sources. These life history traits are grouped into morphological, physiological and ecological adaptations. </p> <p><em>Physiological adaptations:</em></p> <p>Neonatal mass: the average weight (g) of a newborn pup, measured within five days after birth.</p> <p>Average litter size: the average size of a full-term litter (including stillborn pups) per female.</p> <p>Weaning mass: the weight (g) of a juvenile during its first flight outside the roost.</p> <p>Adult body mass: the average weight (g) of adult bats during the summer (between 1 May and 1 July), excluding pregnant females.</p> <p>Litter mass: neonatal mass * average litter size.</p> <p>Relative mass of neonatal to adult: neonatal mass*100 / adult weight</p> <p>Relative mass of litter to adult: litter mass*100 / adult weight</p> <p>Gestation: the length of gestation period (in days), from fertilisation to birth. When mated during autumn or winter, the sperm (or fertilised egg in <em>M. schreibersii</em>) is stored throughout the winter. On arousal from hibernation in the spring, around mid March, female bats ovulate and gestation begins. In accordance with other researchers (e.g. Altringham 1996, Entwisle <em>et al</em>. 1998), 15 March was used as the start of the gestation period, for statistical reasons we also included <em>M. schreibersii</em>.</p> <p>Weaning: the length of the lactation period (in days) until offspring are fully independent. After the juveniles are capable of flight, mothers continue to give their young nourishment until they are fully independent. Only when no extra nourishment is provided are the offspring considered fully weaned.</p> <p>Reproductive period: gestation + weaning (in days).</p> <p>Average age at first reproduction: The age (in days) at which 75% of the female population becomes sexual mature. Many species reproduce just before or during their first winter (at approximately 80 days old), but in some species the majority of the population postpone their sexual development. Individuals are stated to have become sexual mature if they participate in mating, have been found to be pregnant or inseminated.</p> <p>Observed average age: observed average age of adults in a population at a given time (in years).</p> <p>Longevity: the age (in years) of the oldest observed individual. The longevity can only be obtained by marking and later recapturing individuals. Most recapture data are collected in summer roosts or hibernacula. As not all species show the same fidelity to summer roost sites or can be found in hibernacula that are accessible to humans, this measure is sensitive to the chance of recapture.</p> <p>Minimum hibernation temperature: the minimum temperature (degrees Celsius) at which each species is observed.</p> <p> </p> <p><em>Morphological adaptations</em></p> <p>Length of forearm at birth: the length of the forearm (mm) of a newborn bat, measured between the elbow to the wrist of a folded wing. This is widely accepted as a measurement of size. Although it is not the best reflection of the length of an individual, it can be measured rapidly and accurately under field conditions.</p> <p>Length of forearm adult: The length of the forearm (mm) of an adult bat.</p> <p>Relative length of forearm of a newborn to an adult: (length of the forearm at birth*100)/ Length of forearm adult.</p> <p>Wing span: the length of the wings (m). The distance between the wingtips of a bat with wings extended so the leading edge is straight (including body width).</p> <p>Wing area: The combined area of the two wings (m<sup>2</sup>) including the entire tail membrane and the portion of the body between the wings.</p> <p>Wing loading: the relation between body weight, wing size and gravity (Nm<sup>-2</sup>). This measurement is related to the mean pressure on the wings. Wing loading is the weight (mass, in kg, times gravitational acceleration) divided by the wing area, i.e Wing loading = (weight adult*9.81)/ wing area. The wing load can vary significantly between geometrically similar bats. Because of such allometry, large bats have a higher wing load than smaller bats.</p> <p>Wing aspect ratio: the square of the wingspan divided by the wing area, i.e. Wing aspect ratio = (wingspan)<sup>2</sup> / wing area. This ratio can be interpreted as a measure of the aerodynamic efficiency of flight. A higher aspect ratio usually corresponds with greater aerodynamic efficiency (i.e. a streamlined body) and lower energy use in flight.</p> <p>Flight speed: The speed of flight (m/s). The speed of flight is usually measured in wind tunnel experiments or during radio-tracking.</p> <p> </p> <p><em>Ecological adaptations </em></p> <p>Maximum migration distance: the maximum observed distance (km) between the summer and winter habitat. In contrast to birds, the direction of migration in bats is not determined by the change of the seasons, but by the locations of the hibernacula. This migration distance can only be obtained by capturing, marking and later recapturing individuals. Bats often migrate across national boundaries and gathering recapture data requires international cooperation. The chance of recapture is sensitive to sample effort and local observation methods.</p> <p>Average migration distance: the average distance (km) between the summer and winter habitat. Most species of bats migrate both short and long distances. The same restrictions described for maximum migration distance also apply to this parameter.</p> <p>Echolocation type: the predominant echolocation type used by each bat species. European bats use one or sometimes a combination of the following four types of echolocations: fm-CF-fm, fm-QCF (with the QCF part dominant), FM-qcf (with the FM part dominant) and FM. For statistical reasons both FM-qcf and FM are clustered in the group FM. The FM-qcf and fm-QCF echolocations are both often loud and used to detect distant prey. FM and fm-CF-fm echolocations are softer and bats using these types of echolocation receive more detailed knowledge of their surroundings. Bats primarily use only one type of echolocation, although many can make some slight adjustments to this.</p> <p>Echolocation range: the maximum distance that an echolocating bat can detect a structure or object.</p> <p>Echolocation minimum frequency: the minimum echolocation frequency (MHz) used by each bat species.</p> <p>Echolocation maximum frequency: the maximum echolocation frequency (MHz) used by each bat species.</p> <p>Duration call (ms): the average duration (in ms) of one complete call cycle.</p> <p> </p> <p><em>Distribution parameters</em></p> <p>Northern limit of range: the most northerly observation (in latitude) of each bat species. This measurement includes anecdotal observations and observations of male bats.</p> <p>Northern limit of reproduction range: the most northerly observation (in latitude) of a maternity group. Note: confusion is possible between summer roosts and maternity roosts. Summer roosts are often inhabited by both males and females and less than 70% of the adult females participate in reproduction. Maternity roosts are predominantly occupied by females, and more than 70% of the adult females participate in reproduction.</p> <p>Southern limit of range: the most southerly observation (in latitude) of each bat species. This measurement includes anecdotal observations and observations of male bats.</p> <p>Southern limit of reproduction range: the most southerly observation (in latitude) of a maternity group. The same restrictions described for northern limit of reproduction range also apply to this parameter.</p> <p>Western limit of range: the most western observation (in longitude) of each bat species</p> <p>Eastern limit of range: the most eastern observation (in longitude) of each bat species</p> <p>Night length: The average night length (in hours) during midsummer (21<sup>st</sup> June) at the northern limit of the reproduction range.</p> <p> </p> <p>Sources: 1.

Predator- and competitor-induced plasticity: How changes in foraging morphology affect phenotypic trade-offs.
Studies of phenotypic plasticity frequently demonstrate functional trade-offs between alternative phenotypes by documenting environment-specific costs and benefits. However, the functional mechanisms underlying these trade-offs are often unknown. For example, predator-induced traits typically provide superior predator resistance but slower growth, while competitor-induced traits provide better growth but inferior predator resistance. While the mechanisms underlying predator resistance have been identified, the mechanisms underlying differential growth have remained elusive. To determine whether competitor and predator environments affect individual growth by induced changes in foraging morphology, we raised wood frog tadpoles (Rana sylvatica) under a factorial combination of competitors and predators and assessed changes in mouthparts that might affect growth. In general, competitors induced relatively larger oral discs, wider beaks, and longer tooth rows, while predators induced relatively smaller oral discs, narrower beaks, and shorter tooth rows. These effects were interactive; the largest competitor-induced responses occurred under high predator density and the largest predator-induced responses occurred under low competition. Further, one of the tooth rows that commonly appeared under low predation risk was frequently absent under high predation risk. These discoveries suggest that predator and competitor environments can have profound effects on prey foraging structures and that these effects set up growth trade-offs between phenotypes that favor the evolution of phenotypically plastic responses.

Phage selection drives resistance-virulence trade-offs in Ralstonia solanacearum plant pathogenic bacterium irrespective of the growth temperature
<p><span>While temperature has been shown to affect the survival and growth of bacteria and their phage parasites, it is unclear if trade-offs between phage resistance and other bacterial traits depend on the temperature. Here, we experimentally compared the evolution of phage resistance-virulence trade-offs and underlying molecular mechanisms in phytopathogenic <em>Ralstonia</em> <em>solanacearum</em> bacterium at 25 °C and 35 °C temperature environments. We found that experimental growth conditions selected for small colony variants (SCVs) with increased growth rate and mutations in the quorum-sensing (QS) signalling receptor gene, <em>phcS</em>. Interestingly, SCVs were also phage-resistant and reached higher frequencies in the presence of phages in both temperature environments. Evolving phage resistance was costly in terms of reduced carrying capacity, biofilm formation and reduced virulence i<em>n planta</em> possibly due to loss of QS-mediated expression of key virulence genes. We also observed mucoid phage-resistant colonies that showed loss of virulence and reduced twitching motility likely due to parallel mutations in prepilin peptidase gene pilD. Moreover, phage-resistant SCVs from 35 °C-phage treatment had parallel mutations in genes encoding type II secretion system (T2SS) genes (<em>gspE</em> and <em>gspF</em>), indicating that defects in pseudopilus made bacterium resistant to the phage. Additional transcriptomic analysis revealed upregulation of CBASS and type Ⅰ restriction-modification phage defence systems in response to phage exposure, which coincided with reduced expression of motility and virulence-associated genes, including <em>pilD</em> and type II and III secretion systems. Together, these results suggest that phage resistance-virulence trade-offs are not affected by the growth temperature but can be mediated through both pre- and post-infection phage resistance mechanisms.</span></p>
Energetic trade-offs in migration decision-making, reproductive effort, and subsequent parental care in a long-distance migratory bird
<p>Migratory species trade-off long-distance movement with survival and reproduction, but the spatiotemporal scales at which these decisions occur is relatively unknown. Technological and statistical advances allow fine-scale study of animal decision-making, improving our understanding of possible causes and therefore conservation management. We quantified effects of reproductive preparation during spring migration on subsequent breeding outcomes, breeding outcomes on autumn migration characteristics, and autumn migration characteristics on subsequent parental survival in Greenland white-fronted geese (<em>Anser albifrons flavirostris</em>). These are long-distance migratory birds with a ~50% population decline from 1999 to 2022. We deployed GPS-acceleration devices on adult females to quantify up to five years of individual decision-making throughout the annual cycle. Weather and habitat-use affected time spent feeding and overall dynamic body acceleration (i.e., energy expenditure) during spring and autumn. Geese that expended less energy and fed longer during spring were more likely to successfully reproduce. Geese with offspring expended more energy and fed for less time during autumn, potentially representing adverse fitness consequences of breeding. These behavioural comparisons among Greenland white-fronted geese improve our understanding of fitness trade-offs underlying abundance. We provide a reproducible framework for full annual cycle modelling using location and behaviour data, applicable to similarly studied migratory animals.</p>

In a global synthesis (Hua et al. 2022, Science; DOI: <a href="https://doi.org/10.1126/science.abl4649">10.1126/science.abl4649</a>), we use 25,950 matched data pairs from 264 studies in 53 countries to assess how delivery of climate, soil, water, and wood production services as well as biodiversity compares across a range of tree plantations and native forests. Carbon storage, water provisioning, and especially soil erosion control and biodiversity benefits are all delivered better by native forests, with compositionally simpler, younger plantations in drier regions performing particularly poorly. However, plantations exhibit an advantage in wood production. These results underscore important trade-offs among environmental and production goals that policymakers must navigate in meeting forest restoration commitments. The Excel file and the R code here are the datasets and analysis code that underlie the above study.</p>

Food deprivation exposes sex-specific trade-offs between stress tolerance and lifespan in the copepod Tigriopus californicus
<p>Long life is standardly assumed to be associated with high stress tolerance. Previous work shows that the copepod <em>Tigriopus californicus</em> breaks this rule, with longer lifespan under benign conditions found in males, the sex with lower stress tolerance. Here we extended this previous work, raising animals from the same families in food-replete conditions until adulthood and then transferring them to food-limited conditions until all animals perished. As in previous work, survivorship under food-replete conditions favored males. However, under food deprivation lifespan strongly favored females in all crosses. Compared to benign conditions, average lifespan under nutritional stress was reduced by 47% in males but only 32% in females. Further, the sex-specific mitonuclear effects previously found under benign conditions were erased under food limited conditions. Results thus demonstrate that sex-specific lifespan, including mitonuclear interactions, are highly dependent on nutritional environment.</p>
Changes in trait covariance along an orographic moisture gradient reveal the relative importance of light- and moisture-driven trade-offs in subtropical rainforest communities
<p>•<span> </span>A range of functional trait-based approaches have been developed to investigate community assembly processes, but most ignore how traits covary within communities. </p> <p>•<span> </span>We combined existing approaches (community-weighted means [CWMs] and functional dispersion [FDis]) with a metric of trait covariance to examine assembly processes in five angiosperm assemblages along a moisture gradient in Australia's subtropics. In addition to testing hypotheses about habitat filtering along the gradient, we hypothesised that trait covariance would be strongest at both ends of the moisture gradient and weakest in the middle, reflecting trade-offs associated with light capture in productive sites and moisture stress in dry sites.</p> <p>•<span> </span>CWMs revealed evidence of climatic filtering, but FDis patterns were less clear. As hypothesised, trait covariance was weakest in the middle of the gradient, but unexpectedly peaked at the second driest site due to the emergence of a clear drought tolerance – drought avoidance spectrum. At the driest site, the same spectrum was truncated at the 'avoider' end, revealing important information about habitat filtering in this system.</p> <p>•<span> </span>Our focus on trait covariance revealed the nature and strength of trade-offs imposed by light and moisture availability, and complemented insights gained about community assembly from existing trait-based approaches. </p>

Data from: Pleiotropy alleviates the fitness costs associated with resource allocation trade-offs in immune signaling networks
<p>Many genes and signaling pathways within plant and animal taxa drive the expression of multiple organismal traits. This form of genetic pleiotropy instigates trade-offs among life-history traits if a mutation in the pleiotropic gene improves the fitness contribution of one trait at the expense of another. Whether or not pleiotropy gives rise to conflict among traits, however, likely depends on the resource costs and timing of trait deployment during organismal development. To investigate factors that could influence the evolutionary maintenance of pleiotropy in gene networks, we developed an agent-based model of co-evolution between parasites and hosts. Hosts comprise signaling networks that must faithfully complete a developmental program while also defending against parasites, and trait signaling networks could be independent or share a pleiotropic component as they evolved to improve host fitness. We found that hosts with independent developmental and immune networks were significantly more fit than hosts with pleiotropic networks when traits were deployed asynchronously during development. When host genotypes directly competed against each other, however, pleiotropic hosts were victorious regardless of trait synchrony because the pleiotropic networks were more robust to parasite manipulation, potentially explaining the abundance of pleiotropy in immune systems despite its contribution to life history trade-offs.</p>
