Warm waters undermine cryptic female choice

(1)  Understanding the thermal sensitivity of reproductive interactions is crucial given global warming. Previous studies have almost exclusively focused on interactions before mating, even though important interactions between the sexes also occur after mating (e.g., gamete interactions), which are likely affected by temperature.
(2)  Thus, it remains unknown how temperature affects the influence of female reproductive fluid on sperm performance, thereby altering female control over fertilization (cryptic female choice). This gap limits our understanding of how sexual selection changes with seasonal temperature fluctuations and temperatures outside the range of historical norms.
(3)  We tested how temperatures relevant to current conditions and climate change projections influence the mechanisms underlying cryptic female choice in a marine fish, Symphodus ocellatus. Under typical thermal conditions, female reproductive fluid enhances sperm velocity and biases fertilizati..., , Description of code and data files affiliated with \"*Warm waters undermine cryptic female choice*\" by Matthew C.

To properly run the code, make sure all data files are in the same directory as the code *\"Figures_Analysis.R*\"*

Below is a description of all the code and data files broken down by the directories in which code and data files should be organized in.

All code for figures and analysis are in a single file: **Figures_Analysis.R** uploaded to **Zenodo**. There is also the **\"SessionInfo.txt\"** file that provides information about hardware and package versions code was run with.

Here is a summary of the different Data files used by **Figures_Analysis.R**

* \"**Temp_CFC_Data.csv**\": Data file that contains experimental data used in the paper. Here are the descriptions of the column var...,
