BIBS Dataset: Morphological traits of the aphid Metopeurum fuscoviride in urban vs. rural populations of Berlin, Germany.

Aphid colony traits and plant host traits collected in 2019 and 2020 along an urbanization gradient in Berlin, Germany. Colonies of the specialist pink tansy aphid (Metopeurum fuscoviride) were sampled in 12 grassland sites (11 from the CityScapeLab), along with plant and stem samples from the host plants. The dataset includes 4 tables: (1) Aphid morphological traits measured on 5 adult individuals from 1-3 colonies per site; (2) Colony parameters, including the aphid colony size, number of mutualistic ants, degree of parasitism, and plant host size and phenological stage; (3) Plant host leaf and stem traits; (4) plot information (i.e. site location and urbanization level). This table contains the index of all tables forming this data collection.
