Flower retention in a naturally-pollinated Yucca glauca population

<b>Description:</b><br>This dataset contains processed data for positions of flowers on naturally-pollinated <i>Y. glauca</i> inflorescences and whether or not the flowers were retained (matured). Refer to manuscript for details of the study system, study site, and methods. <br><br><b>Format</b><br>The file is in .csv format. Each row contains data for a flower on an inflorescence.<br><br><b>Description of column headers</b><br><b>clump</b> - ID of the visually identifiable <i>Y. glauca</i> clump that the inflorescence belonged to.<br><b>infl</b> - ID of the inflorescence in the patch.<br><b>ht</b> - Height (cm) of the inflorescence from the point of origin at the base of the rosette to the tip.<br><b>basaldia </b>- Basal diamater (mm) of the inflorescence's rosette (an index of rosette size) measured below the lowest crown of green leaves. <br><b>fruits</b> - Number of fruits matured on the inflorescence <br><b>branched</b> - Whether the inflorescence is branched or not (binary variable) <i>Y. glauca</i> inflorescences are usually unbranched, in some cases, some amount of branching exists.<br><b>buds</b> - The total number of buds/flowers on the inflorescence<br><b>fl</b> - Position of flower (also serves as unique ID within an inflorescence), where 1 is the first flower from the bottom of the inflorescence.<br><b>fr</b> - Whether the flower (fl) was retained (matured) or not (binary variable).<br><b>scaled</b> - The scaled position of flower on inflorescence. Calculated by dividing the flower position by <b>buds</b>. For an inflorescence the lowest flower position is above 0 and the highest flower position is 1.<br><b>frbelow</b> - The number of fruits below the flower with position <b>fr</b><br><b>pos</b> - The position of flowers categorized into bottom third (B), middle third (M), and top third (T) flowers. Flowers with scaled positions less than 1/3 were classified as B, greater than 2/3 were classified as T, and the remaining flowers were classified as M.<b><br><br></b> <br>
