File List: All_egg_counts_blocks_1-3.csv – data of experimentally derived egg counts for female fitness ALL_3_BLOCKS_ALT.csv – data relating to male mating success Larval survival chro compliment complete.csv – data regarding the number of larvae that survived to adulthood expanded_development_time_data.csv – data relating to the development time of larvae INTER BARS.csv – data used for creation of bar plots for male competition ageing.manual.csv – complied data from three other raw datasets on lifespan in flies male_ageing_raw.xls – raw data collected on male fly lifespan S3_ageing_raw.xls – raw data collected on female fly lifespan fem_ageing_raw.xls – raw data collected on male and female lifespan for the S3 line only 2. Relationship between files: ‘expanded_development_time_data.csv’ – was derived from the ‘Larval survival chro compliment complete.csv’ file using start and end times of the flies development ‘ageing manual.csv’ is a complied data set using raw data from the files ‘male_ageing_raw.xls’, ‘S3_ageing_raw.xls’, ‘fem_ageing_raw.xls’. The data has not been changed but turned into a format that can be read by R. ‘INTER BARS.csv’ – was created manually by summarising data from ‘ALL_3_BLOCKS_ALT.csv’ 3. Additional related data collected that was not included in the current data package: Data is currently unavailable regarding the measurements of populations used to identify the indel. METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION All methods used to create this data are included I the manuscript tilted ‘A non-coding indel polymorphism in the fruitless gene of Drosophila melanogaster exhibits antagonistically pleiotropic fitness effects.
