One-generation step intervals, differences, and rates; longer base intervals, differences, and rates; and overlapping net intervals, differences, and rates for selection experiments (file 1: 15,431 rates), field studies (file 2: 12,461 rates), and fossil studies (file 3: 47,854 rates). Rates of Evolution in Experimental LineagesTime intervals (generations), differences (standard deviation units), and resulting rate quotients (in haldanes or standard deviation units per generation) for all intervals and differences in 14 high- and low-line experimental selection studies.Gingerich2019_Rates_Archive_ExperimentalStudies.csvRates of Evolution in Field StudiesTime intervals (generations), differences (standard deviation units), and resulting rate quotients (in haldanes or standard deviation units per generation) for all intervals and differences in 57 field studies.Gingerich2019_Rates_Archive_FieldStudies.csvRates of Evolution in Fossil StudiesTime intervals (generations), differences (standard deviation units), and resulting rate quotients (in haldanes or standard deviation units per generation) for all intervals and differences in 34 fossil studies.Gingerich2019_Rates_Archive_FossilStudies.csvFiles for Rate AnalysesZipped file of source-data, scripts, and functions providing complete documentation for derivation of the Dryad-archived Rates of Evolution rate files. When downloaded and unzipped, some 214 small Excel source-data files and R scripts and functions are provided, organized in folders corresponding to the Rates of Evolution archive files. File names and data files are keyed to numbered sections within chapters 7, 8, and 9 of *Rates of Evolution: A Quantitative Synthesis*.Files_for_Rate_Analyses.zip
