File Melladoetal2024-CurrZool_Supplementary_Materials.pdf = Supplementary figures and tables for Mellado et al. 2024.

File Carollia_PHA.txt = data set with 139 observations. Variables are: Sex = factor with sex (M/F), BMass = Body mass in g, ForA = unsigned forearm asymmetry (absolute scale, mm), ForL = right forearm length in mm, IPHA = PHA index, BSeason = factor with period of breeding season (early/late)

File Carollia_phaTL.txt = data set with 50 observations. Variables are: BMass = Body mass in g, ForL = right forearm length in mm, IPHA = PHA index, ForA = forearm asymmetry (absolute scale, mm), TL = testicle length in mm, BSeason = factor with period of breeding season (early/late)

File pha36hours.txt = data set with 144 observations (24 individuals measured at 0,3,6,10,24,36 hours after injection). Variables are: Ind = Individual identifier, Hour = Hours since injection of PHA solution, IPHA: PHA index
