Selection Types Summary for Ontogeny and Life History Models

A theoretical dataset from figshare, authored by Arthur Weyna and last updated in April 2026. It provides a summary of selection types for analyzing the evolution of traits influencing development in age- and class-structured populations. The dataset is a 5.5 KB XLS file, published under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Modeling directional and disruptive selection on non-plastic traits based on the derived expressions.
• Analyzing selection distribution across ages and sexes based on the described age- and class-specific components.
• Investigating evolutionary branching and alternative life histories based on the described disruptive selection pathways.
• Studying developmental trade-offs and constraints in growth models based on the application to size-mediated sexual selection.

Strengths

• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
• File size is small (5.5 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection.
• Last update timestamp is precise (2026-04-03 17:34:26).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
