Data for Buzatto et al 2018 Proc B

This file has two tabs. The first one contains all the data for the selection applied on fighter males of the mite Rhizoglyphus echinopus. Each row contains information for one male measured during the experiment, and the columns contain information about (respectively from left to right): generation (1 to 10); replicate selection line; selection direction (up for thicker legs and down for thinner legs); the ID of the line (replicate and direction combined); the length of the anterior coxae suture (proxy for body size; see methods); the width of 3rd right leg (the fighting leg, measured at the base; see methods); the residual from a linear model describing the relationship between the last two variables (the allometry of the third pair of legs); whether that individual was selected as a sire for the next generation; and the number of offspring from this individual that mated and was measured in the following generation. The other tab has similar information, but only for generation 9, and including scramblers and females as well (in addition to the fighters), for investigation of the correlated evolution resulting from morph-specific selection. This tab also has the information of the family ID (since fighters, scramblers and females were sourced from a variety of different families within each line) and the sex/morph of each individual.
