This file is to be used with the continuous life-history traits from the study (duration of larval development, body mass and adult lifespan). We alternate between analyses of respective traits through assigning them into the response variable y
.
Load libraries and read the full dataset (N = 3 431). We analyse data on female and male offspring separately due to the profound sexual dimorphism in seed beetle life history. We remove offspring of dams for which host preference was not recorded. We also exclude outliers in the response variable that are larger than 3-times trait SD.

The minimal model contains only fixed effects stemming from our experimental design. The fixed effects are: host type (host
, “C” (original)/“M” (novel)), bean mass (WH
, standardized within each host type), dam mating order (ord.f
, mating sequence, 1 to 4), and day mated (DATE
, 1-6). Additive genetic variance is specified using the pedigree and the identity of the offspring as animal
in the random-effect part. Maternal effects above the additive genetic variance (including non-genetic and genetic maternal effects, but also genetic dominance) is specified with calling dam
in the random-effect part of the model. We defined the random effects for each host separately as interaction with host
- animal (host:animal
) and dam (host:dam
). We extracted additive genetic (proxy of GxE) and maternal effects covariance (MxE) between novel and original host using term us
(unstructured). We called host-specific variance only (with idh
) in the models where we ignore covariance between the additive genetic (or maternal) effects in different host types. Residual variance was allowed to be estimated separately per host type (rcov=~idh(host):units
).
Below, we provide outcome for each of the alternative models that estimate additive genetic variance and maternal effects differently per host. They include/exclude specific variance per host type and the cross-host covariance.
Here, we specify both separate variance per host type and the cross-environmental covariance for both additive genetic (animal
) and maternal effects (dam
). We estimate residual variance (units
) separately per each host type.

We calculate heritability, evolvability and maternal effects proportion based on the minimal model, i.e. after accounting for the design effects (bean mass, dam mating order, day mated). Additive genetic variance is given by animal
and maternal effects variance by dam
.
Additive genetic variance: \(V_{A} = V_{animal}\)
Maternal effects above the additive genetic effects: \(V_M = V_{dam}\)
Maternal effects proportion: \(m^2 = V_{M}/(V_{A} + V_{M} + V_{residual})\)
Heritability: \(h^{2} = V_{A}/(V_{A} + V_{M} + V_{residual})\)
Coef. of add. gen. variation: \(CV_{A} = \sqrt{V_{A}}/\overline{y}\)
Evolvability: \(e_{\mu} = V_{A}/\overline{y}^2\), or \(e_{\mu} = CV_{A}^2\)

Using the additive genetic covariance between the two hosts, we estimate
genetic correlation: \(r_{G} = COV_{A(novel-original)}/\sqrt{(V_{A(novel)}V_{A(orignal)})}\)

Here, we specify separate variance per host type for additive genetic (animal
) effects only, but ignore potential cross-environmental covariance. Maternal effects were also ignored. We estimate residual variance (units
) separately per each host type.

We calculate heritability and evolvability based on the minimal model, i.e. after accounting for the design effects (bean mass, dam mating order, day mated). Additive genetic variance is given by animal
.
Additive genetic variance: \(V_{A} = V_{animal}\)
Heritability: \(h^{2} = V_{A}/(V_{A} + V_{M} + V_{residual})\)
Coef. of add. gen. variation: \(CV_{A} = \sqrt{V_{A}}/\overline{y}\)
Evolvability: \(e_{\mu} = V_{A}/\overline{y}^2\), or \(e_{\mu} = CV_{A}^2\)

Here, we estimate variance for both additive genetic (animal
) and maternal effects (dam
), but ignore their potential host-specificity and the cross-environmental covariances. We estimate residual variance (units

We calculate heritability, evolvability and maternal effects proportion based on the minimal model, i.e. after accounting for the design effects (bean mass, dam mating order, day mated). Additive genetic variance is given by animal
. Maternal effects variance is ignored.
Additive genetic variance: \(V_{A} = V_{animal}\)
Maternal effects above the additive genetic effects: \(V_M = V_{dam}\)
Maternal effects proportion: \(m^2 = V_{M}/(V_{A} + V_{M} + V_{residual})\)
Heritability: \(h^{2} = V_{A}/(V_{A} + V_{residual})\)
Coef. of add. gen. variation: \(CV_{A} = \sqrt{V_{A}}/\overline{y}\)
Evolvability: \(e_{\mu} = V_{A}/\overline{y}^2\), or \(e_{\mu} = CV_{A}^2\)
