Replication data for: Dispersal of an invasive cyprinid: Movement patterns correlated with morphology but not a lab-expressed behavioural syndrome

Dispersal behaviour has important consequences for biological invasions. We assessed morphological and lab-based behavioural traits to test for a behavioural syndrome associated with dispersal in Common Carp, a highly invasive fish. We then correlated these dispersal traits with the opportunistic breaching of a fish barrier and broader movement in the wild.
 Common Carp were captured attempting to disperse into Cootes Paradise Marsh, a protected wetland in Ontario, Canada. Individual variation was characterized by geometric morphometrics (n=300) and behavioural trials (n=44) in a subsample of fish. Video-recorded trials captured measures of boldness, activity, and sociability. A subset of fish (n=10) were acoustically tagged and released to measure monthly movement patterns. Habitat conditions varied widely in the field, and a rare flooding event allowed fish to bypass a barrier and enter Cootes Paradise Marsh.
A multivariate mixed model was used to describe among-individual trait ..., , , # Replication data for: Dispersal of an invasive cyprinid: Movement patterns correlated with morphology but not a lab-expressed behavioural syndrome
