========================================================================================================================== ========================================================================================================================== Dataset: HFCs_Ccaeruleus Negative effects of individual heterozygosity on reproductive success in a wild bird population Authors: Botero-Delgadillo, Esteban; Gilsenan, Carol; Mueller, Jakob C.; Kempenaers, Bart MS Reference Number: MEC-20-0603 The whole dataset contains data for evaluating the relationship between individual heterozygosity and reproductive success in a population of Blue tit (Cyanistes creaseless) in southern Germany.  The data set is divided into three spreadsheets, which are explained below. ************************************************************************************* 1. Breeding-Nonbreeding data: This spreadsheet contains all individuals that were detected in the study area. Individuals were categorized as breeders or non-breeders, depending on whether they ended up breeding in our study plot in a given season. The matrix includes information regarding sex, whether the bird was a local recruit or not, whether it bred in the study area previously or not, arrival date to the nesting site, and genetic information. This data matrix contains the following variables: VARIABLE DESCRIPTION ID Individual ID (ring number). Season Year when individual was detected/captured. Seasons spanned from August of year X to July of year X+1. Breed_Sta Breeding status. B: breeder; NB: non-breeder. Sex F: female; M: male. Recruit LR: local recruit; I: immigrant. Arrival Arrival date. Julian day for a given season. z_Arrival z-scores for Arrival day. yr_Tpd Year when individual was implanted with a passive integrated transponder (PIT). Prev_imp Whether individual was implanted before a given season. Prev_breed Whether individual was previously recorded as a breeder in the study site. Fun_HL Heterozygosity value using the HL index as a measure of MLH based on functional loci. Fun_md2 Heterozygosity value using the md2 index as a measure of MLH based on functional loci. Fun_Lmd2 Logarithm of the md2 index based on functional loci. NF_HL Heterozygosity value using the HL index as a measure of MLH based on non-functional loci. NF_md2 Heterozygosity value using the md2 index as a measure of MLH based on non-functional loci. NF_Lmd2 Logarithm of the md2 index based on non-functional loci. Columns Q–CU SLH scores for each loci. 0: homozygous state; 1: heterozygous state. *NA: not available. ************************************************************************************* Breeding success data: This spreadsheet contains the breeding population only –i.e. those individuals breeding in nestboxes in our study site. The matrix includes information regarding sex, whether the bird was a local recruit or not, whether it bred in the study area previously or not, nestbox ID, and measures of reproductive success. This data matrix contains the following variables: VARIABLE DESCRIPTION ID Individual ID (ring number). Season Year when individual was detected/captured. Seasons spanned from August of year X to July of year X+1. Sex F: female; M: male. Recruit LR: local recruit; I: immigrant. Prev_breed Whether individual was previously recorded as a breeder in the study site. Nestbox Nestbox ID. Clutch Clutch size. Hatched Number of hatched eggs. Fledged Number of fledglings produced. Pat_Gain Paternity gain. Number of extra-pair offspring sired by a male. Pat_Loss Paternity loss. Number of offspring in the nest sired by another male. Fun_HL Heterozygosity value using the HL index as a measure of MLH based on functional loci. Fun_md2 Heterozygosity value using the md2 index as a measure of MLH based on functional loci. Fun_Lmd2 Logarithm of the md2 index based on functional loci. NF_HL Heterozygosity value using the HL index as a measure of MLH based on non-functional loci. NF_md2 Heterozygosity value using the md2 index as a measure of MLH based on non-functional loci. NF_Lmd2 Logarithm of the md2 index based on non-functional loci. Columns R–CV SLH scores for each loci. 0: homozygous state; 1: heterozygous state. *NA: not available. ************************************************************************************* 3. Complete genotypes: This spreadsheet contains all individuals that were captured and genotyped at 83 micro satellite loci. For each loci, allele scores (i.e. allele sizes) are separated by a comma. This data matrix contains the following variables: VARIABLE DESCRIPTION ID Individual ID (ring number). Sex F: female; M: male. Recruit LR: local recruit; I: immigrant. Seas_bred Total number of breeding seasons in which individual was recorded as a breeder in the study site. Columns I–CI Allele scores for 83 microsatellite loci. ========================================================================================================================== Please address questions to: Esteban Botero D.
