Data from: Galls formed by Aceria genistae (Acari: Eriophyidae) alter resource allocation of the invasive weed Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius) v2

The Scotch broom gall mite, Aceria genistae, attacks Cytisus scoparius (Scotch broom), an invasive shrub in California, USA. Feeding causes galls (localized tissue distortion) but the effect of A. genistae on overall host vigor and reproduction has not been assessed. We collected data on plant parts between two plants partitioned between two groups, heavily or lightly galled plants, at three northern California sites. Plant parts were measured in the field (plant height, plant width) and others were recorded after harvesting plants (stem, leaf, gall, seed pod, seeds, etc.) and drying them in an oven to a constant weight. Data were natural log transformed. Columns represent (in order): observation number (obs), plant identifier (plantID), Site, treatment (heavy or light galling), Diameter at soil (lnDAS), height, leaf weight (lnLeaf), stem weight (lnStem), fruit weight (lnFruit), gall weight (lnGalls), number of pods (lnpods), seed weight (lnseeds), number of seeds per plant (lnseedsplant), canopy volume (lnVol), canopy diameter at its widest point (lnWidest), canopy area (lnCanopyArea), total biomass of all plant fractions combined (lnTotal), number of stem branches (lnResource).

本数据集收录了苏格兰金雀花瘿螨（学名：Aceria genistae）对加州入侵灌木苏格兰金雀花（学名：Cytisus scoparius）的攻击数据。苏格兰金雀花瘿螨的取食行为导致植物组织局部畸形，形成瘿瘤，然而其对宿主整体活力和繁殖的影响尚未得到评估。研究团队在加州北部三个地点，针对两组植物（严重和轻微瘿瘤的植物）之间分隔的植物部位进行了数据收集。植物部位在现场进行了测量（植物高度、植物宽度），其他部位则在收获植物后记录（茎、叶、瘿瘤、荚果、种子等），并在烘箱中烘干至恒定重量。数据经过自然对数转换。列的顺序依次为：观测编号（obs）、植物标识符（plantID）、地点、处理方式（严重或轻微瘿瘤）、土壤直径（lnDAS）、高度、叶片重量（lnLeaf）、茎重量（lnStem）、果实重量（lnFruit）、瘿瘤重量（lnGalls）、荚果数量（lnpods）、种子重量（lnseeds）、每株植物种子数量（lnseedsplant）、冠层体积（lnVol）、冠层最大直径（lnWidest）、冠层面积（lnCanopyArea）、所有植物部分的总生物量（lnTotal）、茎枝数量（lnResource）。
