README.txt for the manuscript "Mutation predicts 40 million years of fly wing evolution" provsionally accepted at Nature, June 27, 2017. This archive consists of three files: eigenvectorsNature.csv This has the eigenvectors used to score each data set. speciesNature.csv This file has the x,y coordinates for the 12 landmarks in the species data set. AllAlignedNature.csv This file has the scores for the aligned landmark data on the first 20 principal component vectors in EigenvectorsNature.csv for the species, mutation and Wabassso data sets. ************************************** The variables in eigenvectorsNature.csv are: _TYPE_ type of Variates on this line _NAME_ name of variable of vector lmlax,lmlay 1-12 Names of x and y coordinates of the 12 landmark point on each wings. When _TYPE_=COV, this is the covariance matrix subjected to principal components analysis When _TYPE_=EIGENVAL entries are the first 21 eigenvalues of the covariance matrix When _TYPE_=SCORE, record is the eigenvector corresponding to the _name_ principal component. *************************************** The variables in speciesNature.csv are: flyunique String with name of the image file from which the data were extracted. Original files are available from David Houle (dhoule@bio.fsu.edu). lncs natural log of centroid size in mm, times 100. cslmmm centroid size of the specimen in mm. lmlax,lmlay x and y coordinates of the 12 landmark point on each of the species wings.
