title: Data from: Contrasting the form and strength of pre- and postcopulatory sexual selection in a flatworm

description: Sexual traits may be selected during multiple consecutive episodes of
 selection, occurring before, during, or after copulation. In the research
 article entitled "Contrasting the form and strength of pre- and
 postcopulatory sexual selection in a flatworm", published
 in Evolution, we measured pre- and postcopulatory phenotypic
 traits alongside variation in fitness components at different episodes.
 Namely, we assessed the mating success, sperm-transfer efficiency, and
 sperm fertilising efficiency of focal worms in which we measured 13
 morphological traits, and performed multivariate selection analyses
 assessing the form and strength of selection. We archived the
 datasets and R scripts necessary to reproduce all analyses performed in
 this paper.

 ## Description of the data
 and file structure There are overall five files: two .csv files containing
 the data, and three annotated .R files handling the data files and
 performing all analyses described in the paper. 1. MultSel_TraitData.csv
 stores the values of the 13 morphological traits of the 160 focal worms.
 ba (body area; x 10³ µm²), tt (testis size; x 10³ µm²), oo (ovary size; x
 10³ µm²), Dsv (delta seminal vesicle; x 10³ µm²), CS (stylet centroid
 size), RWS1, 2, and 3 (first, second, and third relative warp score of the
 stylet), feeler (sperm's feeler length; µm), body (sperm's body
 length; µm), shaft (sperm's shaft length; µm), brush (sperm's
 brush length; µm), bristles (sperm's bristles length; µm). EXCL - var
 et EXCL - traits indicates the replicates that should be excluded for the
 variance-based approach and trait-based approach, respectively. Exclusions
 and missing trait values are explained in the paper. 2.
 MultSel_FitnessData.csv stores the successes of the 160 focal worms at
 different fitness components. F (fecundity of the 12 partner worms), mRS
 (male reproductive success of the focal worm), penetrance (focal
 worm' penetrance of the GFP marker), tot cop (total number of
 copulations), foc cop (total number of copulations in which the focal worm
 was involved), partner sperm (total number of sperm counted in the 12
 partner worms), focal sperm (total number of sperm of the focal worm
 counted in the 12 partner worms), corrected mRS (male reporductive success
 of the focal worm, corrected by its penetrance), MS (mating success), PS
 (paternity share), PMS (post mating success), STS (sperm-transfer
 success), STE (sperm-transfer efficiency), SFE (sperm fertilising
 efficiency). EXCL - var et EXCL - traits indicates the replicates that
 should be excluded for the variance-based approach and trait-based
 approach, respectively. Exclusions and missing fitness values are
 explained in the paper. 3. MultSel_Script1_LinearNonlineaSel.R assesses
 the form and strength of selection on the worms' morphological traits
 in reproductive success and in all four fitness components. 4.
 MultSel_Script2_FitSurfComp.R compares the form and strength of selection
 across all four fitness components. 5.
 MultSel_Script3_PairwiseFitSurfComp.R compares the form and strength of
 selection across all four fitness components between pairs of fitness
 components. ## Sharing/Access information Files also accessible on Lucas
