Description

Support for Baker’s law: facultative self-fertilization ability decreases pollen limitation in experimental colonization (datasets for paper in the American Journal of Botany)

There are 2 files associated with this manuscript. The “PLseedsetindividual.csv” file contains seed set for the pollen limitation treatments for each plant in the experimental populations. Pollinator observation data is available in the “pollinator.csv” file


Description of the data and file structure:

PLseedsetindividual.csv

  • source.population = one of the four source populations used to create our experimental populations
  • autonomy= autonomous selfing category, high or low
  • individual = plant id
  • experimental.population = the id of the experimental population 
  • site = site ID
  • size = size of experimental population, single or small
  • date initiated = date experimental population was put in the field
  • dayfromstartofexperiment = derived from date, the time from the start of the experiment that the experimental population was initiated
  • treatment = the pollination treatment for that flower, control or supplemented
  • seed number = seed set for the treated flower


Pollinator.csv

  • experimental.population = the id of the experimental population 
  • site = site ID
  • start.date = day experimental population was initiated
  • end.date = day the experimental popuation was taken out of the field
  • source population = one of the four source populations used to create our experimental populations
  • autonomy= autonomous selfing category, high or low
  • size = size of experimental population, single or small
  • number of plants = number of plants in the experimental population 
  • flowers day x (1–4) = number of flowers on day 1
  • males day x (1-4) = number of flowers on day X
  • day.x.poll.date = date of day 1 or day 2 pollinator observation 
  • day.x.poll.time = time of day 1 or day 2 pollinator observation 
  • bb.day.x, mb.day.x,, sb.day.x.,  = bumblebee, medium bee, small bee visits on day 1 or day 2
  • total.poll.visits = The total number of pollinator visits across day 1 and day 2
  • visits.per.flower = the number of flowers was averaged across day 1 and day 2. The total number of visits were then divided by the average flower number.
