Data from: Evolutionary potential and constraints in an aposematic species: Genetic correlations between warning coloration and fitness components in wood tiger moths
Phenotypic data and pedigrees of two laboratory populations of wood tiger moths (Arctia plantaginis) of Finnish (=FIN) and Estonian (=EST) ancestry.
Pedigree: ID: individual identifiersire = Fatherdam=mother
Pheno.data: ID: individual identifierSex: 1=male; 2=femalehatchingdate: date when larva hatchedpupadate: date of pupationadultdate: date of exclusionPupa.Weight: weight of pupa [mg]Female.Colour = hindwing colour of females. In this species hindwing colour in females varies continuously from yellow to red. It was quantified by visual matching of hinwdings against a colour scale ranging from 1 = yellow to 6 = red. Signal.Size = larva signal size. Larvae show an orange patch of variable size on the back of their black body. The size is given as number of segmentsEgg.N = egg number produced by the individualOff.N = offspring number. Larvae were counted 2-3 weeks after egg laying
