Dataset - Phenotypic selection on the white forehead patch of female pied flycatchers according to dispersal strategies and breeding density.

Dataset for testing the existance of phenotypic selection on a typical male-ornament trait in female pied flycatchers. This dataset contains all the variables and samples used in the analyses.<br><br>FPO_all and FPS_all contain the data to conduct the phenotypic selection analyses using all the available and appropiate observations.FPO_FirstRep and FPS_FirstRep contain the data to conduct the phenotypic selection analyses only considering the first reproduction of each females. FPO_trajectory and FPS_trajectory contain the data to conduct the analyses examining changes in the number of females with a white forehead patch and changes in the size of the forehead patch over the study period. <br>A description of the variables are provided below:<br>YearNestBoxHabitat: two-level factor. 1 = oakwood; 2 = pine plantationMaleRingFemaleRingLayingDate: numeric variable, relative to 1st MayFledglingsRecruits: number of offspring detected as breeders in the populationRealAgeCatAge: two-level factor. 1 = 1-year old; 2 = &gt;1-year oldHabitatOrigin: two-level factor. 1 = oakwood; 2 = pine plantationNatalDispersal: two level factor.
