Description

Data from:

Propagule pressure rather than population growth determines colonisation ability: a case study using two phytophagous mite species differing in their invasive potential

and

Hitchhiking or hang gliding? Dispersal strategies of two cereal-feeding eriophyid mite species

File name: dispersal_colonisers.xlsx

Variables:

1. species - mite species: WCM - wheat curl mite MT-1 (Aceria tosichella); CRM - cereal rust mite complex 2 (Abacarus hystrix)

2. dispersal - the mode of dispersal:  ambulatory - active dispersal by walking; aerial - passive dispersal with wind; insect - passive dispersal with insect vector (Insecta: Thysanoptera); robot -  passive dispersal with mammal-mimicking vector (robot); control - no dispersal agent

3. N - the source population size, i.e. the total no. of individuals, which were exposed to dispersal agent

4. C - the number of colonisers, i.e. the no. of individuals on the target plant after 14 days of incubation

 

File name: dispersal_settlers.xlsx

1. species - mite species: WCM - wheat curl mite MT-1 (Aceria tosichella); CRM - cereal rust mite complex 2 (Abacarus hystrix)

2. disperal - the mode of dispersal:  aerial - passive dispersal with wind; ambulatory - active dispersal by walking 

3. N - the source population size, i.e. the total no. of individuals, which were exposed to dispersal agent

4. S - the number of settlers, i.e. no. of individuals that reached the target plants

Notes

The study was supported by National Science Centre Poland (NSC) grant no. 2019/35/N/NZ8/02639 to AM. AS was involved in this work while supported by the (NSC) grant 2016/21/B/NZ8/00786. NSC funded the scholarship no. 2018/28/T/NZ8/00060 to AM and scholarship no. 2019/32/T/NZ8/00151 to AL. AL was funded by Adam Mickiewicz University Foundation. AM & AL scholarships were founded by European Social Funds POWR.03.02.00–00–I006/17. The funding institutions did not participate in the design or analyses of experiments. All experiments performed complied with the current laws of Poland and UE.
