Data from: Maternal effects and warning signal honesty in eggs and offspring of an aposematic ladybird beetle

Egg phenotypesThese data were collected from a laboratory experiment. Abbreviations used for column headings are described below. MotherID - a distinct code for the female that laid the clutch described; Mothersize - pronotum width; labtime - the number of days the particular female spent in the lab before her clutch was collected; FatherID - a distinct code for the male mated to the female that laid the clutch described; Eggsaturation - (r) calculated as the shortest (Euclidian) distance from the achromatic origin, where saturation increases the further a point is from the origin; Eggbrightness - overall reflectance across the spectrum, and calculated independently of colour by applying the formula: (LW+MW+SW+UV)/4; Egghue1 - (LW+MW) / (SW+UV); Egghue2 - (LW+UV) / (SW+MW); Eggcoc - concentration of coccinelline in the eggs; Eggprecoc - concentration of precoccinelline in the eggs; Eggcarotenoids - concentration of carotetenoids in the eggsegg.txtOffspring phenotypesThese data were collected from a laboratory experiment. Abbreviations used for column headings are described below. OffspringID - a distinct code for the individual offspring with the phenotype described; MotherID - a distinct code for the mother of the offspring described; FatherID - a distinct code for the male mated to the mother of the offspring described; Eggsaturation - (r) calculated as the shortest (Euclidian) distance from the achromatic origin, where saturation increases the further a point is from the origin; Eggbrightness - overall reflectance across the spectrum, and calculated independently of colour by applying the formula: (LW+MW+SW+UV)/4; Egghue1 - (LW+MW) / (SW+UV); Egghue2 - (LW+UV) / (SW+MW); Eggcoc - concentration of coccinelline in the eggs; Eggprecoc - concentration of precoccinelline in the eggs; Eggcarotenoids - concentration of carotetenoids in the eggs; hatchsuccess - hatched larvae / total eggs; Sex - male or female; Offspringgrowthrate - calculated as the regression coefficient of an exponential curve fitted to the x(age in days at the start of each instar stage) and y(body mass) for each larva; Offspringmass - weighed to the nearest 0.1µg upon eclosion; Offspringdevtime - total number of days between hatching and eclosion as adults; Offspringsat - (r) calculated as the shortest (Euclidian) distance from the achromatic origin, where saturation increases the further a point is from the origin; OffspringBrightness - overall reflectance across the spectrum, and calculated independently of colour by applying the formula: (LW+MW+SW+UV)/4; Offspringhue1 - (LW+MW) / (SW+UV); Offspringhue2 - (LW+UV) / (SW+MW); Offspringcoc - concentration of coccinelline in the individual; Offspringprecoc - concentration of precoccinelline in the individualoffspring.txtSurvivalThese data were collected from a laboratory experiment. Abbreviations used for column headings are described below. LarvaeID - a distinct code for the individual described; MotherID - a distinct code for the female that laid the clutch described; FatherID - a distinct code for the male mated to the female that laid the clutch described; Eggcarotenoids - concentration of carotetenoids in the eggs; Survival - whether the individual survived to adulthood.survival.txt
