code_Verin_etal_2017.tar

The tar.gz archive contains 4 folders. "dev_time_Nconst" contains the code for simulations of the evolution of development time; "it_Nconst" and "it_Nconst_S" contain the code for simulations of the evolution of adult survival, in the absence and in the presence of selection respectively; "pfix" contains the code used to compute the probability of fixation in the article. All the programs are in R. In each folder, the code for simulations has a name that starts with "code_". Other R files that were used to analyze the raw results and plot figures are also provided, along with .txt files that contain simulation results (in folders named "results"). In all simulations except "pfix", we used a parameter file called "param.txt" (provided) and obtained summary results by running a script ("analyse.R", also provided); the summary results are enclosed in files whose names start by "summary_", which were used to plot the figures. Note that "pfix" also contains a power analysis mentioned in the text of the article.
