Adaptation to host's chemical defenses as a driver of wing morphological evolution and developmental instability in cactophilic Drosophila

We used wing morphometric data from two Drosophila species. Wing shape, size, and developmental instability were obtained using landmark-based geometric morphometrics. We assessed whether specialization on a novel host plant leads to correlated evolution of morphology in phytophagous insects. Therefore, here we share the raw data required for the analysis of wing size, shape, and fluctuating asymmetry., , # Adaptation to host ́s chemical defenses as a driver of wing morphological evolution and developmental instability in cactophilic *Drosophila*

## Description of the data and file structure

Data wing size: This file contains the value of wing size of both *Drosophila* species reared in four cactus of the *Trichocereus* genus for each selection strain.

Data wing shape: This file contains the value of each realtive warp for each *Drosophila* species raised in four cactus of the *Trichocereus* species for each selection strain. The name of the photo taken of the wing is also incorporated.

Data of flutuating asymmetry: This file contains the wing size value for right and left wing of both *Drosophila* species raised in four cactus of the *Trichocereus* genus for each selection strain.
