The number of offspring produced by female Drosophila yakuba over 4 days following artificial transinfection of Spiroplasma, compared to uninfected controls.

Description of data: The dataset is a record of the number of adult offspring produced by F2 Spiroplasma-transinfected and -uninfected females. For each day there is a record of the number of males and females that emerged, followed by the total number of flies emerged. The D. yakuba strain used not infected with Wolbachia. Data is in xlsl format.Description of methods for data collection: Microinjections were carried out as described by Nakayama et al, 2015. The number of adult offspring produced by the F2 generation of infected parental females was counted. Each F2 female was placed with two uninfected males in a vial of fly medium to mate. They were moved into fresh vials every day for five days to allow continuous oviposition. On the sixth day, adult flies were removed, and the females were screened for Spiroplasma. The eclosed offspring from days 2 to 5 were counted. Column headings:Column A- Block: D. yakuba has been split into two groups depending on Spiroplasma infection status- Uninfected (A) and Infected (B).Column B- Group: Independent D. yakuba lines derived from successfully transinfected females (b, c, d, e, f and g) and an uninfected control (a) with alternative nomenclature for easy ordering in R.Column C- Infection.status: Spiroplasma infection status of D. yakuba. Spiroplasma positive (S+) and Spiroplasma negative controls (S-).Column D- Genotype: lineage of F2 mothersColumn E- Rep: replicate female F2 D. yakubaColumn F- D2M: number of emerged adult males from the second day of the fecundity assayColumn G- D2F: number of emerged adult females from the second day of the fecundity assayColumn H- D2T: total number of males and females from the second day of the fecundity assayColumn I- D3M: number of emerged adult males from the third day of the fecundity assayColumn J- D3F: number of emerged adult females from the third day of the fecundity assayColumn K- D3T: total number of males and females from the third day of the fecundity assay Column L- D4M: number of emerged adult males from the fourth day of the fecundity assayColumn M- D4F: number of emerged adult females from the fourth day of the fecundity assay Column N- D4T: total number of males and females from the fourth day of the fecundity assayColumn O- D5M: number of emerged adult males from the fifth day of the fecundity assayColumn P- D5F: number of emerged adult females from the fifth day of the fecundity assayColumn Q- D5T: total number of males and females from the fifth day of the fecundity assayColumn R- Total: total number of adult flies produced from each female Spiroplasma-infected and -uninfected D. yakuba.
