Data from: Transgenerational effects and the cost of ant tending in aphids

Aphid wet and dry adult weightThe file contains wet and dry weights (mg) of groups of sampled aphids (Aphis fabae), reared at low and high density on broad bean (Vicia faba).aphid_dry_weight_data.txtWeights of aphids reared with and without antsThe file contains data related to the (wet) weights of the aphids in the different cages at the time of collection (end of a generation), over the generations of the main experiment of the study.aphid_weight_data.txtWeight differences between unattended and ant-attended aphidsThe file contains differences of values of variables (from the data file aphid_weight_data.txt) between the two cylinders in a pair, for GenRel going from 0 to 4 (where 1 is the first ant attended generation in a trial). The differences are formed as the value for the ant attended cylinder in a pair minus the value for the unattended cylinder.aphid_paired_weight_data.txtAphid embryo size distributionThe file contains data on the distribution of aphid embryos over size categories, for a number of dissected adult aphids that were sampled from the main experiment of the study, including unattended and ant-attended aphids. Each row of the data file corresponds to one dissected aphid.aphid_embryo_data.txt
