Support for Baker's law: facultative self-fertilization ability decreases pollen limitation in experimental colonization

Support for Baker’s law: facultative self-fertilization ability decreases pollen limitation in experimental colonization (datasets for paper in the American Journal of Botany)

There are 2 files associated with this manuscript. The “PLseedsetindividual.csv” file contains seed set for the pollen limitation treatments for each plant in the experimental populations. Pollinator observation data is available in the “pollinator.csv” file

Description of the data and file structure:

PLseedsetindividual.csv

source.population = one of the four source populations used to create our experimental populations

autonomy= autonomous selfing category, high or low

individual = plant id

experimental.population = the id of the experimental population 

site = site ID

size = size of experimental population, single or small

date initiated = date experimental population was put in the field

dayfromstartofexperiment = derived from date, the time from the start of the experiment that the experimental population was initiated

treatment = the pollination treatment for that flower, control or supplemented

seed number = seed set for the treated flower

Pollinator.csv

experimental.population = the id of the experimental population 

site = site ID

start.date = day experimental population was initiated

end.date = day the experimental popuation was taken out of the field

source population = one of the four source populations used to create our experimental populations

autonomy= autonomous selfing category, high or low

size = size of experimental population, single or small

number of plants = number of plants in the experimental population 

flowers day x (1–4) = number of flowers on day 1

males day x (1-4) = number of flowers on day X

day.x.poll.date = date of day 1 or day 2 pollinator observation 

day.x.poll.time = time of day 1 or day 2 pollinator observation 

bb.day.x, mb.day.x,, sb.day.x.,  = bumblebee, medium bee, small bee visits on day 1 or day 2

total.poll.visits = The total number of pollinator visits across day 1 and day 2

visits.per.flower = the number of flowers was averaged across day 1 and day 2. The total number of visits were then divided by the average flower number.
