title: Data from: Sisters’ curse: sexually antagonistic effects constrain the spread of a mitochondrial haplogroup superior in sperm competition

description: Maternal inheritance of mitochondria creates a sex-specific selective
 sieve with implications for male longevity, disease susceptibility and
 infertility. Because males are an evolutionary dead end for mitochondria,
 mitochondrial mutations that are harmful or beneficial to males but not
 females cannot respond directly to selection. Although the importance of
 this male/female asymmetry in evolutionary response depends on the extent
 to which mitochondrial mutations exert antagonistic effects on male and
 female fitness, few studies have documented sex-specific selection acting
 on mitochondria. Here, we exploited the discovery of two highly divergent
 mitochondrial haplogroups (A and B2) in central Panamanian populations of
 the pseudoscorpion Cordylochernes scorpioides. Next-generation sequencing
 and phylogenetic analyses suggest that selection on the ND4 and ND4L
 mitochondrial genes may partially explain sexually antagonistic
 mitochondrial effects on reproduction. Males carrying the rare B2
 mitochondrial haplogroup enjoy a marked advantage in sperm competition,
 but B2 females are significantly less sexually receptive at second mating
 than A females. This reduced propensity for polyandry is likely to
 significantly reduce female lifetime reproductive success, thereby
 limiting the spread of the male beneficial B2 haplogroup. Our findings
 suggest that maternal inheritance of mitochondria and sexually
 antagonistic selection can constrain male adaptation and sexual selection
 in nature.

 from: Sisters’ curse: sexually antagonistic effects constrain the spread
 of a mitochondrial haplogroup superior in sperm
 competitionThis Excel spreadsheet
 has three tabs: “FemaleReprod,” “SpermTraits,” and “SpermComp Exp.”
 FemaleReprod contains data on sire, dam and sire x dam mitochondrial
 haplogroup effects on female fecundity and reproductive success.
 SpermTraits contains data on male mitochondrial haplogroup effects on
 sperm number and sperm viability. SpermComp Exp contains paternity data
 for the A versus B2 haplogroup sperm competition
