Digital data for "selecting on age of female reproduction affects lifespan in both sexes and age-dependent reproductive effort in female (but not male) Ceratitis cosyra"
This is qualitative data used for
statistical analyses to compare flies selected upward or downward on age of egg
oviposition to control flies at generations 0, 4, 10, 15 and 20. The following
traits have been investigated: survival, total egg production, daily egg
production, day of peak egg production, courtship, mating, number of sperm
transferred, sperm asymmetry and head width. The effect of age was also taken
into account for courtship, mating, sperm transferred and sperm asymmetry.
