title: Data from: Linking intra- and interspecific assortative mating: consequences for asymmetric sexual isolation

description: Assortative mating is of interest because of its role in speciation and
 the maintenance of species boundaries. However, we know little about how
 within-species assortment is related to interspecific sexual isolation.
 Most previous studies of assortative mating have focused on a single trait
 in males and females, rather than utilizing multivariate trait
 information. Here we investigate how intraspecific assortative mating
 relates to sexual isolation in two sympatric and congeneric damselfly
 species (genus Calopteryx). We connect intraspecific assortment to
 interspecific sexual isolation by combining field observations, mate
 preference experiments and enforced copulation experiments. Using
 canonical correlation analysis, we demonstrate multivariate intraspecific
 assortment for body size and body shape. Males of the smaller species mate
 more frequently with heterospecific females than males of the larger
 species, which showed less attraction to small heterospecific females.
 Field experiments suggest that sexual isolation asymmetry is caused by
 male preferences for large heterospecific females, rather than by
 mechanical isolation due to interspecific size differences or female
 preferences for large males. Male preferences for large females and
 male-male competition for high quality females can therefore counteract
 sexual isolation. This sexual isolation asymmetry therefore indicates that
 sexual selection currently opposes a species boundary.

 couples and morphological data in mating pairs from "Klingavälsåns

 (male above the female he was mating with), and value for each of the
 eight measured morphological traits that we measured. These trait values
 were used to estimate the strength of assortative
