Rapid evolution of sexual size dimorphism facilitated by Y-linked genetic variance data set

The three datasets were collected to study the genetic architecture of sexual size dimorphism in the seed beetle Callosobruchus maculatus (Quantitative_genetics_data_set), the response of sexual dimorphism to artificial selection (artificial_selection_data_set) and to isolate and quantify the effect of Y haplotypes on male body size (Y_introgression_data_set).

Quantitative genetics: A four generation breeding design with pedigree information for 8022 individuals and body size measurements for 7356 individuals. The breeding design and sample size of the study allows to partition genetic variances into additive autosomal, additive sex-linked, autosomal dominance and X-linked dominance variance.

Artificial selection: Family level phenotypic data over 10 generations of artificial selection using direct progenitors of the quantitative genetics experiment in 5 different selection regimes (random selection [C], sexually antagonistic selection, for increased sexual dimorphism [SA], sex li...
