Patterns of within- and among-plant variation in nectar production in the beetle-pollinated Amianthium muscaetoxicum_datasets

This repository contains all the empirical datasets included in the manuscript: Patterns of within- and among-plant variation in nectar production in the beetle-pollinated Amianthium muscaetoxicum within PhD Dissertation: Food for thought: the ecological complexity of natural selection on resources in mutualisms by Sarah Jean McPeek, Brodie Lab. This work measures various aspects of nectar production and beetle nectar-feeding behavior in a population of the wildflower, Amianthium muscaetoxicum. All data were collected in the summers of 2021-2024 at Mountain Lake Biological Station, Giles County, Virginia.

本仓库收录了Sarah Jean McPeek于Brodie实验室完成的博士学位论文《Food for thought: the ecological complexity of natural selection on resources in mutualisms》中的全部实证数据集，该论文聚焦于甲虫传粉的鹿百合（Amianthium muscaetoxicum）的花蜜产量植株内与植株间变异模式。本数据集针对该野生花卉种群的花蜜产量多维度特征及甲虫花蜜采食行为展开测定，所有数据均采集于2021至2024年夏季的弗吉尼亚州贾尔斯县山湖生物站（Mountain Lake Biological Station）。
