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，用于描述威斯康星州南部入侵期间刺水蚤（Bythotrephes longimanus）的种群动态。常规监测覆盖了门多塔湖、莫诺纳湖、瓦贝萨湖、凯贡萨湖、斯托米湖、吉尔分流水库以及戈吉比克湖。配套包含2011年与2012年门多塔湖监测项目获取的刺水蚤形态学测量数据，具体为2011至2012年从门多塔湖采集的约2500只刺水蚤的个体形态特征与繁殖状态实测结果。此外，本数据集还对门多塔湖沉积物岩芯开展了分析，以检测刺水蚤遗留痕迹，并同步估算了沉积物的沉积年代。
