The full data set used in all analyses ('Data_SexSelSSD.csv')

A legend explaining all varialbes in the data file ('Data_legend_SexSelSSD.pdf')

The data used to create the phylogeny used in the analyses ('Phyologeny_SexSelSSD.txt')

The main analysis code used for data analysis in R ('Analyses_code_SexSelSSD_Part1.R')

And aditional analysis code for the analyses based only on studies that controlled for phylogeny ('Analyses_code_SexSelSSD_Part2.R')
