Description of the data and file structure

We provided the checklist of coocurring termite species at local scale ('Checklist of Isoptera in local haitats.xlsx') and at oceanic-island scale ('Checklist of Isoptera on global islands.xlsx'), which included the original records of species distribution per site, the environmental attributes and spatial coordinates per site, and the full reference list from which the distribution records were extracted.

We also provided the functional trait information for each studied species ('Species list and traits.xlsx'). For morpho-species, we calculated the mean trait values of intrageneric species as the estimate. Trait description and reference source were also reported. For body size, we plotted the correlation of body size between soldier and imago caste, which was significantly positive (R2 = 0.62). Therefore, we used the body size of soldier caste for analyses.

We compiled the response and predictor variables per island (or local site) into a single file ('Data for analysis and visualization.xlsx'). This file assembled all environmental predictors, community-weighted means of pest species risk and other functional traits, and the standardized effect sizes (SES) of mean pairwise functional distance (MFD) and mean pairwise phylogenetic distance (MPD). Besides, we used the proportional data among cooccurring species per local community to calculate the proportion-weighted mean of pest species risk.

Species pool was defined in two different ways. First, we treated all species occur on islands (or local sites) as the full species pool. Second, dispersion-field species pool was defined for each island (or local site), by including any species within the genera that had geographic extents overlapping the focal assemblage. We calculated the functional and phylogenetic SES values based on the full or dispersion-field species pool. For the former case, we labelled the SES values as 'SES.MFD' and 'SES.MPD'. For the latter case, we labelled the SES values as 'SES.MFD.df' and 'SES.MPD.df'.

We provided 1000 pseudo-posterior phylogeney tree ('termites_tacted.tre') of more than 3000 termite species that were constructed by Dr. Fernanda S. Caron and Prof. Marcio R. Pie (see their orginal research for more details; 10.1111/zsc.12502). This tree included all species covered in this study, and the morpho-species was inserted into the tree topology within their corresponding genera, subfamilies or families, by taking into account branch lengths determined by local diversification rates. The final phylogeny tree was generated through reserving species occurring in this study.

Code/Software

All statistical analyses were conducted in R 4.2.3. We provided four R scripts to generate all results reported in the main text and supplementary materials.

'SES-full species pool.R' was used to calculate the SES.MPD among cooccurring species for 1000 pseudo-posterior trees. It may take 1~2 weeks to finish the whole process. Meanwhile, SES.MFD could be fastly computed and therefore we inserted the respective code in the next script.

'SES-dispersion field.R' was used to calculate the SES.MFD.df and SES.MPD.df among cooccurring species. Given that dispersion-field species pool was defined differently for each island or local site, the running time was considerably higher (i.e. times the number of islands or local sites) than that of 'SES-full species pool.R'.

'Analysis code.R' was used to generate the dataset for analysis and visualization ('Data for analysis and visualization.xlsx'). Furthermore, multiple linear regression after stepwise selection was used to determine the important predictors and interaction effects. Finally, global Moran's I analysis was conducted to evaluate the spatial autocorrelation in the residuals of each response variable after accounting for the environmental effects.

'Figure code.R' was used to visualize the distribution of data records (Fig. 1a) and interaction effects between climate and habitat fragmentation (Figs. 3-5 and Figs. S4-S7). In addition, we also provided the code for plotting the Pearson's correlation matrix among functional traits (Fig. S2) and environmental predictors (Fig. S3).
