This data (Electronic SM1.xlsx) includes review records following PRISMA reporting guidelines including all full text articles screened and reasons for their exclusions. In addition, the extracted dataset (gene_taxa_data.csv) used to produce Figure 9.3 is provided. The data has been compiled by Jessie Abbate and Jamie Winternitz, who can be contacted at jcwinternitz-at-gmail-dot-com.
We had three criteria for relevance in this context of animal behavior and parasitism: the study i) uses or discusses animals (i.e., not plants, bacteria or fungi); ii) characterizes immune genotypes (e.g. sequencing or expression analysis of specific immune genes) of study subjects; iii) tests for mating behavior or sexual selection related to immune genotype (e.g. differential expression of genes in females that depends on male genotype is relevant, but differential expression of genes in virgin vs. mated females is not relevant). We also considered relevant those studies exploring associations between condition or condition-related sexual signals and immune genotype. We were interested in empirical studies only, thus we also excluded reviews, pure modelling studies, and meta-analyses that used previously published articles.
Searches were conducted in Web of Science (3 November, 2020; 304 unique records refined to CATEGORIES: Ecology, Evolutionary Biology, Genetics Heredity, Zoology and Behavioral Sciences). Our search terms for TOPIC were as follows: (((((("mate choice" OR "mate preference*" OR "mating" OR "sexual selection") AND (("parasit*" NEAR/5 "resistance*") OR ("pathogen*" NEAR/5 "resistance*") OR "immune response" OR "immunocompetence*" OR "immunit*" OR "immunogen*") AND (("gene*" AND "diversity") OR ("immun*" NEAR/3 "gen*") OR "genotype" OR "sequenc*" OR "allel*") NOT ("plant*" OR "vegetable*" OR "crop*")))))). Records were retained if the LANGUAGE was English and the DOCUMENT TYPE was article or review, for TIMESPAN of all years. For the 304 unique records, we screened titles and abstracts and retained 205 records. Of these records, full text screening identified 92 articles for inclusion in our review
