Male Mating Success

Abstract

This data file was created in Excel. It is the mating success of males in assays in generations 1, 3, 7, 11 and 23 of a mutation accumulation experiment in which one set of 100 lines were subjected to sexual selection on male mating success (Treatment = S) and the other set of 100 lines were not (Treatment = C; Controls). Except in generation 1, C and S males were competed against one another, and half of the assayed males per line had their wings clipped for identification (Clip = 1; males without clip, Clip=0). Trials were conducted over 2 days each generation. The choosing female in these trials came from the stock population. Males were either successful in gaining a mating (choice=1) or unsuccessful (choice=0)
