Associational Resistance or Susceptibility Complete Data File

The data were collected at Lancaster Environment Centre in laboratory-based mesocosms. The data presented here in Microsoft Excel format were analysed using 'R' v.2.15.2 statistical software. For this, each worksheet was re-formatted to individual csv files and analysed seperately. The first worksheet presents the data regarding the population growth rate of Brevicoryne brassicae aphids. The second worksheet presents the data regarding the population growth rate of Myzus persicae aphids. The third worksheet presents the counts of B. brassicae and M. persicae at different sites within their host plants, when presented in single aphid species treatments. The fourth worksheet presents the counts of B. brassicae and M. persicae at different sites within their host plants, when presented in mixed aphid species treatments. The fifth and final worksheet presents the data of the predator, Chrysoperla carnea, growth rates.

本数据集采集于兰卡斯特环境中心（Lancaster Environment Centre）的实验室中型生态箱（mesocosms）中。以Microsoft Excel格式存储的本数据集，采用R语言v.2.15.2统计软件开展分析。分析前先将每个工作表转换为独立的CSV文件，并分别进行处理分析。第一个工作表包含甘蓝蚜（Brevicoryne brassicae）的种群增长率数据；第二个工作表包含桃蚜（Myzus persicae）的种群增长率数据。第三个工作表记录了单蚜种处理模式下，甘蓝蚜（B. brassicae）和桃蚜（M. persicae）在寄主植物不同部位的种群数量；第四个工作表记录了混合蚜种处理模式下，甘蓝蚜（B. brassicae）和桃蚜（M. persicae）在寄主植物不同部位的种群数量。第五个也是最后一个工作表包含捕食性天敌大草蛉（Chrysoperla carnea）的生长速率数据。
