Dispersal strategies of two cereal-feeding eriophyid mite species

Data from: Propagule pressure rather than population growth determines colonisation ability: a case study using two phytophagous mite species differing in their invasive potential and Hitchhiking or hang gliding? Dispersal strategies of two cereal-feeding eriophyid mite species <strong>File name:</strong> dispersal_colonisers.xlsx Variables: 1. species - mite species: WCM - wheat curl mite MT-1 (<em>Aceria tosichella</em>); CRM - cereal rust mite complex 2 (<em>Abacarus hystrix</em>) 2. dispersal - the mode of dispersal: ambulatory - active dispersal by walking; aerial - passive dispersal with wind; insect - passive dispersal with insect vector (Insecta: Thysanoptera); robot - passive dispersal with mammal-mimicking vector (robot); control - no dispersal agent 3. N - the source population size, i.e. the total no. of individuals, which were exposed to dispersal agent 4. C - the number of colonisers, i.e. the no. of individuals on the target plant after 14 days of incubation <strong>File name: </strong>dispersal_settlers.xlsx 1. species - mite species: WCM - wheat curl mite MT-1 (<em>Aceria tosichella</em>); CRM - cereal rust mite complex 2 (<em>Abacarus hystrix</em>) 2. disperal - the mode of dispersal: aerial - passive dispersal with wind; ambulatory - active dispersal by walking 3.
