General framework. 8 The goal of this review is to give a synthetic view of the importance of direct fitness 9 costs of reproduction in males in wild vertebrate populations. We did not aim at clarifying the 10 definition of a reproductive cost, or providing statistical tools to test direct costs of 11 reproduction accurately as definition and statistical advices are the same for both males and 12 females and have been previously described in details [see 1]. This means that we 13 summarized the results of studies investigating the effects of reproduction (time t) on survival 14 and/or reproduction the next breeding season (time t+1) [two consecutive breeding seasons] 15 through the co-variations between life history traits (also called direct fitness traits sensu Roff 16 [2]). There are direct costs of reproduction in the reviewed studies when these co-variations 17 were negative and there is no direct cost of reproduction in the opposite case. As shown in 18 Figure S1, the following types of studies were not included: 19 (1) Mechanistic studies. These studies investigate the effect of reproductive effort on 20 different individual characteristics, such as physiological parameters, but they do not provide 21 direct measures of fitness cost. For example, the growing literature on the putative role of 22 oxidative stress as a mediator of reproductive costs is not included in this review [e.g. 3]. 23 Other examples are the studies on breeding dispersal in birds. It is known that reproductive 24 success may affect the distance of dispersal the following year, such that unsuccessful 25 breeders will be able to find a better territory. However, it is not clear how breeding dispersal 26 affects future reproduction and survival and how it can be interpreted in the context of costs 27 of reproduction. Thus, we did not include studies that looked at the effect of reproduction on 28 breeding dispersal without providing evidence of an effect of breeding dispersal on 29 reproductive output or survival [e.g. 4]. 2 30 (2) Studies with indirect measure of reproductive effort. We kept only studies 31 providing direct measure of the investment in reproduction to focus our review on life history 32 trade-offs. Moreover, we did not want to overlap with the large literature on the costs of the 33 investment in sexually selected characters [5]. However, if it was shown in the same study 34 that a male characteristic was correlated to reproduction and also to future survival or 35 reproduction, then it was included (e.g. the dominance trait in the jackdaw study [e.g. 6]). 36 (3) Delayed costs of reproduction. Finally, studies investigating the cumulative costs 37 of reproduction, the long-term costs of reproduction (late performance) in line with the 38 disposable soma theory of aging [7] or the effect of reproduction on following generations 39 were not included in this review. Indeed, we aimed at assessing the overall support of costs of 40 reproduction in males and its potential consequences in terms of population dynamics. Thus, 41 we focused on parameters that are relevant in population models, namely we studied only 42 direct reproductive costs. Indeed, in stochastic models, demographic parameters (i.e. survival 43 and reproductive rates) fluctuate from year to year [8]. These fluctuations from year t to year 44 t+1 may be in part explained by the existence of direct costs of reproduction. 45 46 Figure S1. The scope of this review (red/bold boxes) is presented in the broader context of 47 all the type of studies on reproductive trade-offs (not included in this review), which include 48 the studies on delayed reproductive costs (long-term or inter-generational costs), and studies 49 using indirect measures of reproductive effort or of costs (white boxes). The main life history 50 traits used in the reviewed studies to investigate the trade-offs between current reproduction 51 and subsequent reproduction and/or survival are summarized within the bold/red boxes. The 52 reviewed studies support the hypothesis of a direct costs of reproduction in males when 53 reproduction a given year reduces survival (i.e., survival costs of reproduction) and/or 54 reduces fecundity the following year (i.e., fecundity costs of reproduction) (red arrows). 3 55 56 4 57 ESM 2. Search protocol. 58 To summarize all the empirical tests of direct reproductive costs in males of 59 unmanipulated wild vertebrate populations, we performed a literature search using the ISI 60 Web of Knowledge database (SCI-expanded). More specifically, we used the keywords 61 “cost/costs” and “reproduction/reproductive/mating” and “male/males” (see [1] for a similar 62 approach on male mammals and [9] for a similar approach on male Arthropods). We did not 63 restrict the taxonomic range of the search in the key words but we rather excluded journals 64 focusing on specific taxa that were clearly out of our range (e.g. journals specialized on 65 plants, entomology…). Then, we screened the abstract of the articles to select only those 66 testing the existence of direct costs of reproduction in wild unmanipulated populations of 67 terrestrial seasonally reproducing birds, mammals, squamates and amphibians. We focused 68 only on studies testing for direct costs of reproduction that included direct measures of fitness 69 (see details in ESM1 and Fig. S1). This literature search included studies published until 70 August 2015. We also checked the studies presented in the books or book chapter that 71 reviewed the subject [i.e., 2,10–13]. For mammals, we used the list of studies published in the 72 review of Hamel et al. [1], screened the recent literature and also the papers citing this 73 review. If we found several studies on the same population, with the same conclusions on 74 reproductive costs, we kept only the most recent one. Relevant references cited in the selected 75 papers were also screened. Finally, all the retained papers were read by two co-authors to 76 report (i) the life history traits used to quantify current reproductive effort (at time t), (ii) 77 those used to quantify subsequent performance (at time t+1) and (iii) their co-variations to 78 assess the support for direct reproductive costs. 5 79 Table S1. Summary of all the studies investigating direct reproductive costs in male birds, mammals, squamates and amphibians. For 80 each study, we provide the name of the species studied, the bibliographic reference, the localization of the studied population, reproductive traits 81 considered at time t (trait at t) (summarized in a type of trait at t), traits affected by reproduction at time t+1 (trait at t+1), and co-variation 82 (positive “+”, negative “-” or no co-variation “=”) between trait at t and trait at t+1 (in the column “Results”). The abbreviations in the column 83 “Results” are explained below the table. We concluded that the reviewed studies highlighted direct costs of reproduction in males (“Y” in the 84 column “Cost of reproduction?”) when reproduction a given year reduces survival and/or fecundity the following year and do not highlight 85 direct costs of reproduction (“N” in the column “Cost of reproduction?”) in other cases. 6 Species Ref.

We fitted a 112 generalized linear model with: a binomial distribution, the presence/absence of costs as the 113 response variable, the variable “taxa” as an explanatory variable (using the taxon “bird” as a 114 reference). Due to the very low number of studies on amphibians (n = 2), we removed these 115 studies from this analysis.
