Phenotypic data for Australian lizards (L. delicata). Lizard eggs were incubated at two different incubation treatment temperatures. Lizards were weighed to investigate differences in growth between treatments.

Usage

lizard_phenotypes

Format

lizard_phenotypes

A data frame with 3928 rows and 9 columns:

  • liz_id individual identifier, equivalent to gen in lizard_markers 261 individuals

  • treatment temperature (degrees celcius) at which lizard eggs were incubated

  • dam_id dam identifier

  • sire_id sire identifer

  • mass mass of lizard in

  • ln_mass natural log mass

  • days_since_hatch days since hatching (age)

  • z_days_since_hatch scaled and centered days_since_hatch see ?scale()

  • z_days_since_hatch_i2 squared z_days_since_hatch see Kar et al 2024 to see details on their analysis
