Description
Phenotypic data and pedigrees of two laboratory populations of wood tiger moths (Arctia plantaginis) of Finnish (=FIN) and Estonian (=EST) ancestry.
Pedigree:
ID: individual identifier
sire = Father
dam=mother
Pheno.data:
ID: individual identifier
Sex: 1=male; 2=female
hatchingdate: date when larva hatched
pupadate: date of pupation
adultdate: date of exclusion
Pupa.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 segments
Egg.N = egg number produced by the individual
Off.N = offspring number. Larvae were counted 2-3 weeks after egg laying
