This repository contains simulated datasets relating to the publication:
Henshaw JM, Fromhage L, Jones AG (2022) The evolution of mating
preferences for genetic attractiveness and quality in the presence of
sensory bias. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (doi:10.1073/pnas.2206262119) In
this paper, we simulate the evolution of female preferences for multiple
male ornament types (e.g., ‘Fisherian’, ‘handicap’ and ‘indicator’
ornaments) that differ in their associations with genes for attractiveness
and for general ‘quality’ (operationalized as the ability to acquire
resources). We allowed for ornaments to differ in their saliency to
females. We also analyze the causal mechanisms generating sexual selection
(e.g., ‘good genes’ and ‘sexy sons’) using causal inference. Datasets are
organised into ZIP files named after the corresponding figure in the
publication. For further information see the publication and the file
README.txt in this repository.
These data were generated in Julia v1.6. Computer code for the simulations
is available in the supplementary materials for the article at
