Abstract
The endophytic fungi of certain grasses and other herbaceous plants have long been known to provide plants with anti-herbivore defense compounds, but there is little information about whether the endophytes of trees also engage in such mutualisms. We investigated the influence of the endophytic fungus Cladosporium sp. on the chemical defenses of black poplar (Populus nigra) trees and the consequences for feeding preference and fitness of herbivorous insects and insect community assembly. Endophyte colonization increased both constitutive- and induced poplar defenses. Generalist Lymantria dispar larvae preferred and performed better on uninfected over endophyte-infected poplar leaves, most likely due to higher concentrations of salicinoids in endophytic leaves and the endophyte-produced alkaloid stachydrine. Under field conditions, the endophytic fungus also shapes insect community assembly in young black poplar trees. Our results show that endophytic fungi can play a major role both in defending trees against herbivorous insects and in structuring insect communities of poplar endophytes.

Metaboanalyst.zip containing .csv files, R-history and Report.pdf
"metaboanalyst.zip"
Zip-folder containing peak intensities of features obtained from untarget LCMS analysis and proceed in metaboanlayst to create a PCA and to obtain significant features as a result of a 2wayAnova run in MetaboAnalyst to create a heatmap
The folder contains .csv files, which were uploaded to metaboanalyst (including the metadata file), and R-history and a Report.pdf file obtained from metaboanalyst after running the statistics.
File name describes: author_the purpose for the analysis_software_ionization mode_feature range
Rhistory.R and Report.pdf files are named accordingly.
.csv files used to create PCA and files obtained from Metaboanalyst:
- Walther_et_al._2024_PCA_metaboanalyst_neg.mode.csv
- Walther_et_al._2024_PCA_metaboanalyst_neg.mode_Rhistory.R
- Walther_et_al._2024_PCA_metaboanalyst_neg.mode_Report.pdf

- Walther_et_al._2024_PCA_metaboanalyst_pos.mode_Rhistory.R
- Walther_et_al._2024_PCA_metaboanalyst_pos.mode_Report.pdf
Due to computational limitations in metaboanalyst, only the top 200 features (based on variance) are tested. Therefore .csv files with features were split into several .csv files for 2wayanova in order to analyse all the data.

Version changes
26-sept-2024
1. R-scripts:
- the used package version is now included in each R-script
- corrected the name of all .csv-files in the script for proper data loading
2. Walther_et_al._2024_raw_data_240909:
- Sheets have been updated (table structure changed) for proper data loading in SPSS using the SPSS syntax file Walther_et_al._2024_spss_syntax.sps:
- “Figure 5d”: split the column “damage (cm²)” by column “treatment” to obtain two columns “damage stachydrine cm2” and “damage control cm2”, which fit the table design for paired t-test in SPSS
- “Figure 6”: changed table structure to now have arthropod orders as columns, which matches the table design for statistical analysis in SPSS
- “Figure S5”: summed up the leaf damage and calculated the leaf area loss (%) for all leaves per tree to analyze herbivore damage on whole poplar trees, which was used to compare damage between control and endophyte-infected trees from the lab experiment, non-herbivory treatments were dropped
- “Figure S7b”: summed up the leaf damage and calculated the leaf area loss (%) for all leaves per tree to analyze herbivore damage on whole poplar trees, which was used to compare damage between control and endophyte-infected trees from the field experiment
3. Walther_et_al._2024_spss_syntax.sps:
- uploaded the Syntax of the statistical analysis done in SPSS
4. metaboanalyst.zip: uploaded statistical analysis done in MetaboAnalyst
- File contains R-history and Report.pdf obtained from MetaboAnalyst and corresponding .csv files used to analyze peak intensities of features obtained from untargeted LCMS analysis to create a PCA and to obtain significant features as a result of a 2wayAnova run in MetaboAnalyst to create a heatmap.
