This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.6.2). The Checks tab describes the reproducibility checks that were applied when the results were created. The Past versions tab lists the development history.


Great! Since the R Markdown file has been committed to the Git repository, you know the exact version of the code that produced these results.

Great job! The global environment was empty. Objects defined in the global environment can affect the analysis in your R Markdown file in unknown ways. For reproduciblity it’s best to always run the code in an empty environment.

The command set.seed(20210613) was run prior to running the code in the R Markdown file. Setting a seed ensures that any results that rely on randomness, e.g. subsampling or permutations, are reproducible.

Great job! Recording the operating system, R version, and package versions is critical for reproducibility.

Nice! There were no cached chunks for this analysis, so you can be confident that you successfully produced the results during this run.

Great job! Using relative paths to the files within your workflowr project makes it easier to run your code on other machines.

Great! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility.

The results in this page were generated with repository version a6602c7. See the Past versions tab to see a history of the changes made to the R Markdown and HTML files.

Note that you need to be careful to ensure that all relevant files for the analysis have been committed to Git prior to generating the results (you can use wflow_publish or wflow_git_commit). workflowr only checks the R Markdown file, but you know if there are other scripts or data files that it depends on. Below is the status of the Git repository when the results were generated:

Supplementary material reporting R code for the manuscript ‘Stronger net selection on males across animals’.

Phenotypic gambit

Statistical analyses were carried out in two steps. First, we examined the key assumption of the ‘phenotypic gambit’ by testing whether estimates of phenotypic variance predict the estimated genetic variance. For this we ran linear regressions with CVP defined as predictor variable and CVG defined as response variable. This was done separately for both sexes and the two fitness components. The analyses on the phenotypic gambit were motivated from a methodological perspective and we did not expect that inter-specific variation in the difference between CVP and CVG can be explained by a shared phylogenetic history. However, for completeness, we also ran linear regressions on phylogenetic independent contrasts (PICs) computed using the crunch function of the caper R-package (version 1.0.1) in R (Orme et al. 2018) to test whether our findings were robust when accounting for potential phylogenetic non-independence.

First, we computed linear regressions between genetic and phenotypic variances, not controlling for the phylogeny. We started with the linear regression in reproductive success for males.

Stronger net selection on males (PGLMMs)

In this second part of the analysis, we tested the hypothesis that net selection is stronger on males by testing for a male bias in CVP and CVG. Specifically, we ran Phylogenetic General Linear Mixed-Effects Models (PGLMMs) with CVP or CVG as the response variable, and sex as a fixed effect. To account for the paired data structure, we added an observation identifier as a random effect. Moreover, all models included a study identifier and the phylogeny (transformed into a correlation matrix) as random effects to account for statistical non-independence arising from shared study design or phylogenetic history, respectively. Note that the latter also accounts for the non-independence of estimates obtained from the same species as some studies estimated genetic variances from distinct field populations (Fox et al. 2004) or different experimental treatments under laboratory conditions such as food stress (Holman & Jacomb 2017) and temperature stress (Berger et al. 2014). In an additional series of PGLMMs we tested whether our proxy of sexual selection explained inter-specific variation in the sex-differences of CVP or CVG by adding mating system and its interaction with sex as fixed effects to the models. These analyses were run on both the complete dataset and on a subset including only vertebrates. The latter set of analyses were done to acknowledge the fact that all sampled invertebrate species were classified as polygamous and the three independent evolutionary events in our phylogeny marking transitions between mating systems occurred in vertebrates (including 6 polygamous species, 6 monogamous species). Finally, given that primary studies varied in several methodological aspects (see section ‘Literature Search and Characterization of Primary Studies’) and whenever the level of replication allowed statistical analysis, we tested whether the different approaches predicted estimates of CVP and CVG and affected their sex-difference. Specifically, we ran three PGLMMs to test separately for effects of the study type, the estimate of genetic variance VG, and the type of reproductive success metric (see above). We carried out PGLMMs with the MCMCglmm R-package (version 2.2.9) (Hadfield 2010), using uninformative priors (V = 1, nu = 0.01) and an effective sample size of 20000 (number of iterations = 11000000, burn-in = 1000000, thinning interval = 500). We computed the proportion of variance explained by fixed factors (‘marginal R2’) (Nakagawa & Schielzeth 2013). In addition, we quantified the phylogenetic signal as the phylogenetic heritability H2 (i.e., proportional variance in CVP or CVG explained by the phylogeny) (de Villemereuil & Nakagawa 2014). In a previous study testing for sex-specific phenotypic variances in reproductive success (Janicke et al. 2016), we ran formal meta-analyses using lnCVR as the tested effect size (Nakagawa et al. 2015). This is potentially a more powerful approach for comparing phenotypic variances but rendered unsuitable when comparing genetic variances. This is because the computation of the sampling variance of lnCVR is a function of the sample size of the sampled population and the point estimate of lnCVR (Nakagawa et al. 2015). However, genetic variances are estimates from statistical models and notorious for being estimated with low precision (i.e., have large confidence intervals). Therefore, using a meta-analytic approach for genetic variances using lnCVR as an effect size leads to overconfident estimation of the global effect size and is therefore likely to result in type-II-errors. However, to allow comparison with the previous meta-analysis, we report the outcome of phylogenetic meta-analyses on phenotypic variances using lnCVR in the Supplementary Material (Table S3), which largely reflects the results on the point estimates of CVP from PGLMMs.

Run MCMC models

We then ran MCMC models to test for differences in the phenotypic and genetic variances in males and females for the fitness categories reproductive success and lifespan.

First, we pruned the phylogenetic tree to the data subset.

We then checked if the phylogenetic tree had been build correctly.

Next, we set the priors for the MCMC models using uninformative priors (V = 1, nu = 0.01) and an effective sample size of 20000 (number of iterations = 11000000, burn-in = 1000000, thinning interval = 500). We also set the index and study ID as factors.

MCMC models for reproductive success

First, we ran the MCMC testing for overall differences in phenotypic variance in reproductive success (‘phenCV’) between males and females (‘Sex’). The model includes the species (‘animal’), estimate ID (‘Index’) and study ID (‘Study_ID’) as random factors (Table 1).

MCMC models for lifespan

In addition to the previous models on reproductive success, ran MCMC models to test for differences in the phenotypic and genetic variances in males and females for lifespan.

First, we pruned the phylogenetic tree to the data subset.

We then checked if the phylogenetic tree had been build correctly.

Next, we set the priors for the MCMC models using uninformative priors (V = 1, nu = 0.002) and an effective sample size of 20000 (number of iterations = 11000000, burn-in = 1000000, thinning interval = 500). We also set the index and study ID as factors.

First, we ran the MCMC testing for overall differences in phenotypic variance in lifespan (‘phenCV’) between males and females (‘Sex’). The model includes the species (‘animal’), estimate ID (‘Index’) and study ID (‘Study_ID’) as random factors (Table 1).

Subsetting data by mating system

We then analysed the data separately for socially monogamous and polygamous species.

First we subset the data into socially monogamous and polygamous species for all fitness categories (lifespan and reproductive success) and their phenotypic as well as genetic variances.

We then pruned the phylogenetic tree to all species with data on lifespan or reproductive success for monogamous and polygamous species separately.

MCMCs for reproductive success

We then ran the MCMC models, first for the phenotypic variance in reproductive success in monogamous species (Table 1).

Analyses of vertebrates

In this part, we analysed the vertebrate species separately, as all monogamous species in this dataset are vertebrates (see Supplementary Files 2 & 3).

We first subset our data frame to only include vertebrates (mammalia, aves or reptilia).

MCMCs for reproductive success

We pruned the phylogenetic tree to all vertebrate species with data on reproductive success.

We then first ran the MCMC models for the phenotypic variance in reproductive success in vertebrate species (Supplementary File 2).

Analyses of vertebrates by mating system

Finally, we analysed the vertebrate species split by mating system.

We first subset our vertebrates data frame into socially monogamous and polygamous species.

We prune the phylogenetic trees to all vertebrate species with data on reproductive success or lifespan for monogamous and polygamous species separately.

MCMCs for reproductive success

We then first ran the MCMC models for the phenotypic variance in reproductive success in socially monogamous vertebrate species (Supplementary File 2).

Methodological correlates

In this final part of the analysis, we explored if the methodological moderators we collected interacted with the effect of sex on phenotypic and genetic variances. This was done to exclude that the methodological diversity in the data confounded the results. We explored effects of the study type (lab versus field studies) (see Supplementary File 4), the estimate of the genetic variance (additive versus total VG) (see Supplementary File 5) and the reproductive success estimate (annual versus lifetime reproductive success) (see Supplementary File 6).

Study type

First, we explored the effect of study type (lab versus field studies). We began with the phenotypic variance in reproductive success (Supplementary File 4).
