DATA & FILE OVERVIEW

1. File List:

Figure 2.Rmd

Figure 3.Rmd

Figure 4.Rmd

Figure 5.Rmd

Figure 6.Rmd

Table 1

Table 2

Table 3

offspring number.csv

• blank cells in offspring number.csv are due to no data being present for that individual. For instance, if a female mated with one male, the columns male 2-6 will be blank. In the same sense, females that mated once will only have male1's length measured.
• N/A in offspring number.csv indicate data that should exist but was not recorded due to error. For instance, some females that mated 4 times may have two males with a length of N/A due to those male lengths not being measured. 

diversityDat.csv

• diversityDat.csv records all offspring that have been measured but only a subset was genotyped. The father identity for offspring from monandrous females were identified as the male that were visually seen copulating. Father identity from offspring produced by polyandrous females was determined through microsatellites. Blank cells for father identity are offspring that were not genotyped in the polyandrous female treatment.
