North Temperate Lakes LTER Bythotrephes longimanus spiny water flea population monitoring in Wisconsin and Minnesota 2009 - 2014

Three data tables are included describing population dynamics for Bythotrephes longimanus, spiny water flea, in Southern Wisconsin during invasion. General monitor took place in Lake Mendota, Lake Monona, Lake Waubesa, Lake Kegonsa, Stormy Lake, Gile Flowage, Lake Gogebic. Accompanying Bythotrephes morphological measurements from Lake Mendota monitoring efforts in 2011 and 2012. Included are individual measurements of body morphology and reproductive status for ~2,500 Bythotrephes collected from Lake Mendota in 2011 and 2012. Sediment cores from Lake Mendota were analyzed for spiny water flea evidence with age of sediment estimated.

本数据集包含三张数据表，用以描述南威斯康星州入侵阶段长身刺水蚤（Bythotrephes longimanus，spiny water flea）的种群动态。该研究的常规监测覆盖门多塔湖、莫诺纳湖、瓦贝萨湖、凯贡萨湖、斯托米湖、吉尔蓄水区及戈格比湖。本数据集同步收录了2011年与2012年门多塔湖监测项目中获取的长身刺水蚤形态学测量数据，其中包含2011至2012年采自门多塔湖的约2500只个体的躯体形态参数与繁殖状态实测结果。此外，数据集还涵盖了采自门多塔湖的沉积物岩芯分析数据，用以检测长身刺水蚤的遗存证据，并估算了沉积物的沉积年代。
