Data and code from: Lifetime fitness and annual survival are heritable and highly genetically correlated in a wild primate population

The additive genetic variance (VA) of fitness quantifies the expected response to selection; lifetime breeding success (LBS) is an effective metric of fitness in animal populations. However, data on LBS are relatively rare for wild populations of long-lived species, while time-limited metrics such as annual survival or fertility are more readily available. The magnitude of VA for these time-limited metrics, and the degree to which they are genetically correlated with LBS, remains unclear in most cases. Here we estimated the VA and heritability (h2) of LBS and four time-limited fitness metrics in wild female baboons in Kenya. The most highly heritable metrics were LBS (h2=0.25) and annual survival (h2=0.23). Notably, all the VA for LBS was attributable to survival to first successful reproduction. Furthermore, all fitness metrics examined were highly genetically correlated with each other, supporting the potential use of time-limited metrics where LBS data are limited.

## Description of the data and file structure

Datasets and code for the manuscript \"Lifetime fitness and annual survival are heritable and highly genetically correlated in a wild primate population\", by Tuliozi et al. The code and datasets hereby provided allow to replicate all main results of the manuscript. 

We provide datasets, code, and R objects (completed models), as several of the models are extremely time-consuming to run. We investigated the genetic variance of time-limited and lifetime fitness metrics using bayesian mixed-models (\"animal models\") to partition the variance in fitness. All models need a pedigree to run (provided) and the datasets, which are tables of phenotypic records associated to an individual's identity and to ecological conditions at the tim..., ,
