Sexual selection drives morphological and cognitive variation to facilitate the evolution of complex visual displays
Abstract
This dataset includes 10 files, involving variation of complexity and intensity of movement-based displays from 15 Phrynocephalus species (phrynoComparative-pgls-mm-simple.csv), presence of component (phrynoComparative-component-simple.csv), tree of 15 Phrynocephalus species (tree_mm_pgls.nex), variation of complexity and intensity of movement-based displays, as well as brain size from 10 Phrynocephalus species (2021-aver1-gd-modified.csv), tree of 10 Phrynocephalus species (tree_modified.nex), and the relevant r-script (phrynoComp-submission.R, path_analysis.R, phylosem_robustness.R and make_path_figure.R).
