Data
- Family-level dataset: Contains 1,087 rows. Binary (0/1) presence/absence data for various sexually selected traits at the family level, each linked to a phylum.
- Evolutionary rates dataset: Contains 84 rows. Continuous values estimating the origin rates of sexually selected traits at the phylum level, based on discrete maximum likelihood analyses.
