Description

These data were collected as part of a study of the Sesbania clown weevil, Eudiagogus pulcher Fahraeus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in eastern Texas, where the density of clown weevils varied by 25-50 times within all of four sites, increasing with the proximity to water of its host plant, rattlebox, Sesbania drummondi (Rybd.) Cory (Fabaceae). These data document changes in the strength and direction of assortative mating by size (body length) which reflect the effect of population density on the rates of mate choosiness, courtship, and inter-male rivalry. Stochastic simulations investigate how interactions between population density, the operational sex ratio, rate of mate choosiness, and frequency of male rivalry affect size assortative mating and identify factors that may underlie field results. Dataset includes 32 data tables in 16 folders in .csv and .xlsx format with corresponding readme .txt files.
