Brood weight data – Experiment 1

Brood size and weight produced by Nicorphorus vespilloides females on mouse carcasses aged for seven days and on fresh carcasses, collected for Experiment 1 in the linked publication. ‘History’ refers to the mother’s natal environment, ‘Treatment’ to the carcass provided for her first breeding attempt. ‘Family’ indicates which sister females were mated to the same male. The weight of the female beetle (‘Mother_weight’) and the mouse carcass (pre-aging) (‘Mouse_weight’) are given. Brood size refers to the number of successfully dispersing offspring.

本数据集采集自关联发表论文中的实验1，记录了埋葬甲（Nicorphorus vespilloides）雌性个体在7天老化小鼠尸体与新鲜小鼠尸体上所产的窝仔数与窝重。其中"History"指代母本的出生发育环境，"Treatment"指代该母本首次繁殖时所提供的繁殖尸体；"Family"字段用于标记与同一雄性个体交配的姐妹雌性群体。数据集同时提供了雌性甲虫的体重（"Mother_weight"，母本体重）以及老化前的小鼠尸体体重（"Mouse_weight"）。此处的窝仔数指成功扩散的后代个体总数。
