Dataset, Dryad, Dataset. (doi:10.5061/dryad.bg79cnpb7) DATA & FILE OVERVIEW 1. File List: The dataset "Hernadez et al_Dataset" contains data from a meta-analysis about female ornamentation in birds published in "Hernández A, Martínez-Gómez M, Beamonte-Barrientos R, Montoya M. 2021.Colourful traits in female birds relate to individual condidion, reproductive performance and male-mate prferences: a meta-analytic approach. Biology Letters. 20210283". The aim of the work was to assess evidence available for the idea that female coloration is signal of: 1) body condition ("Condition"), 2) reproductive success ("Reproduction"), and 3) male-mate preferences ("Preferences"). Results showed that female coloration may be a signal of body condition and reproductive performance, and males prefer more colourful females (carotenoid-dependent colorations). In this readme file each variable of dataset is explained. Calculation and measurements of the variables are extensively described in the manuscript. METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION 1. Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: The data was obtanined from studies collected through a systematic search of literature following PRISMA method. 2. Methods for processing the data: Information on body condition and reproductive performance was analysed as Pearson’s correlation coefficients, while reproted results on male-mate preferences were analysed as Hedges' g. Type of proxy of condition or reproductive prerformace used in the original study were included in the models, as well as, the ornament and coloration type. Phylogenetic non-independence ("Phylogenetic signal") was accounted for in the three independent models fit. 3. Instrument- or software-specific information needed to interpret the data: Analyses were conducted using the R package "metafor". DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR: [FILENAME] 1.
