Replication Data for: Experimental island biogeography demonstrates the importance of island size and dispersal for the adaptation to novel habitats

Data on population dynamics (two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae) on (tomato) islands and data on female fecundity during an evolutionary experiment. The experiment consisted of tomato islands of three different sizes: Small : 1 tomato plant Medium: 2 tomato plants Large: 4 tomato plants Islands received immigrants (adult females) from the original population (stock population) which was maintained on bean plants. We used three levels of dispersal (number of immigrants): 0.5 mites/week 1 mite/week 2 mites/week Information about the methodology and a detailed description of the study can be found in the associated paper.

本数据集收录了一项演化实验中番茄岛（tomato islands）上二斑叶螨（two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae）的种群动态数据，以及该螨雌螨繁殖力相关数据。本次实验设置了三种不同规模的番茄岛：小型（1株番茄植株）、中型（2株番茄植株）、大型（4株番茄植株）。所有番茄岛的虫源均取自饲养于菜豆植株上的原种群（stock population），即向各岛引入成年雌螨作为迁入个体。本实验设置了三个迁入扩散水平（即每周迁入螨数）：每周0.5头螨、每周1头螨、每周2头螨。本研究的方法学细节与完整描述可参阅相关论文。
