Mate-choice copying is a type of social learning in which females can change their mate preference after observing the choice of others. This behaviour can potentially affect population evolution and ecology, namely through increased dispersal and reduced local adaptation. Here, we simulated the effects of mate-choice copying in populations expanding across an environmental gradient to understand whether it can accelerate or retard the expansion process. Two mate-choice copying strategies were used: when females target a single individual, and when females target similar individuals. We also simulated cases where the male trait singled out by females with mate-choice maps perfectly onto their genotype or is influenced by genotype-by-environment interactions. These rules have different effects on the results. When a trait is determined by genotype alone, populations where copier females target all similar males expand faster, and the number of potential copiers increases. However, when p..., , , # **Mate-choice copying accelerates species range expansion**

This database contains the code used to run the individual-based simulations used to study the effects of mate-choice copying in a population expanding through an environmental gradient. These simulations show that different preference rules and mate-choice copying strategies can affect the speed of population range expansion.
## **Description of the data and file structure**
The simulation code is contained in 5 different files:
* **main.c**: This is the main file for the simulation. It contains the fixed parameters for the simulation (described in the comments of the code itself), the link to all the other files, and the main code to run each generation loop and the simulation itself.
* **input.h**: This is the file with the parameters that were changed during the different simulations. The file also contains a description of each parame...
