Description

Biodemographic data for alfalfa weevil strains used in the following paper:

Gutierrez, A.P., Ponti, L., Levi-Mourao, A., Pons, X., Cure, J.R., Neteler, M., Simmons, G., 2025. Stabilizing adaptation in an invasive species: Alfalfa weevil as a case study. Agricultural and Forest Entomology, https://doi.org/10.1111/afe.12686
 
All data were sourced from the scientific literature. The biodemographic functions were estimated from published laboratory age-specific life table data in Levi-Mourao et al. (2021, 2022) for strain S, from Zahiri et al. (2010a, 2010b) for strain I, and from Butler & Ritchie (1967) and Gutierrez et al. (1976) for strain E (for other references to data used in the study, see the Methods section of Gutierrez et al. under review). The life table data should be requested from the authors of the cited papers. All the functions used in the model are present in the text and figures.

The dataset is provided as an XLSX worksheet.
