Wertheim, University of Groningen G. Sander van Doorn Information about geographic location of data collection: N/A Language information: English SHARING/ACCESS INFORMATION 1. Links to publications that cite or use the data: These data were used in the publication "Evolution of parasitoid host preference and performance in response to an invasive host acting as evolutionary trap" in Ecology and Evolution DATA & FILE OVERVIEW 1. File List: Data_evolutionPreference_performance: contains data obtained by the model on the evolution of parasitoid preference and performance and population dyanmics METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION 1. Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: Methods are described in the manuscript. All data were analyzed in R DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION Each tab contains data of different experiments: Data_NoKilling_evPerf: without non-reproductive hostkilling, only evolution of parasitoid performance Data_Killing_evPerf: with non-reproductive hostkilling, only evolution of parasitoid performance Data_NoKilling_evPref_perf: without non-reproductive hostkilling, evolution of parasitoid preference and performance Data_Killing_evPref_perf: with non-reproductive hostkilling, evolution of parasitoid preference and performance Variable list Parameter values: list of parameter values. See material and methods & table 1 within the manuscript for details. Simulation data: t: time step H1, H2: population size of Host 1 or 2 surviving: proportion of hosts survived P1: population size of parasitoids specialized on host1 (performance) P2: population size of parasitoids specialized on host2 P3: population size of parasitoids, generalists Ptot: total population size of each type of parasitoid (p1+p2+p3) PH1, PH2, PH3: hosts parasitized by parasitoid type 1, 2 or 3 KH1, KH2, KH3: hosts killed by parasitoids type 1, 2 or 3
