Replication Data for: Capybara ride: evidence of whole aquatic plant dispersal

This dataset provides comprehensive insights into the dispersal of whole aquatic plants by capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) within a controlled environment. It comprises two tables available in the supplementary material: Table 1: Estimation of Plants Added to Container: This table presents estimates of the number of plants added to the container before the capybara experiment. Sampling involved 12 random samples using an 8.55 cm² sampler. Each sample recorded the number of plant taxa (Wolffia, Lemna, Salvinia, and Azolla) and provided estimates for the total number of plants in the container area (1307.25 cm²). The table also includes statistical summaries such as mean, standard deviation, mean standard error, and confidence intervals for each plant species. Table 2: Estimation of Plants Carried to Pool by Capybara: This table showcases estimates of the number of plants carried to the pool by the capybara after 24 hours of the experiment. Similar to Table 1, sampling involved 12 random samples, this time using a 79.75 cm² sampler. Each sample recorded the number of plant taxa and provided estimates for the total number of plants in the pool area (30195.25 cm²). Statistical summaries for each plant species are also provided at the end of the table.

本数据集详尽地揭示了水豚（Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris）在可控环境中对整个水生植物群落的扩散情况。该数据集包含两份附表：表1：容器中添加植物数量的估算：本表呈现了在开始水豚实验前，容器内添加植物数量的估算数据。采样采用了12个随机样本，使用8.55 cm²的采样器。每个样本记录了植物分类单元（Wolffia、Lemna、Salvinia 和 Azolla）的数量，并提供了容器区域（1307.25 cm²）内植物总数的估计。此外，表中还包含了每种植物种类的统计摘要，如平均值、标准差、平均值标准误和置信区间。表2：水豚携带至泳池植物数量的估算：本表展示了实验进行24小时后，水豚携带至泳池的植物数量的估算。与表1类似，采样同样涉及12个随机样本，此次使用79.75 cm²的采样器。每个样本记录了植物分类单元的数量，并提供了泳池区域（30195.25 cm²）内植物总数的估计。表末也提供了每种植物种类的统计摘要。
