Effects of kinship and host quality on group reproduction in Sclerodermus cereicollis using a choice test

This dataset describes the behaviour and reproductive outcomes of Sclerodermus cereicollis foundresses, focusing on how host size variation and female relatedness affect these dynamics. Foundresses, grouped according to kinship, were given two hosts of different sizes. Key observations included host selection, oviposition timing, movement between hosts and foundress mortality.
Data are provided for foundress mortality, timing of victim attack and subsequent offspring development from oviposition to emergence, offspring emergence, and foundress movements and positions.

本数据集记录了颈肿腿小蜂（Sclerodermus cereicollis）产卵雌蜂的行为模式与繁殖结局，重点探究寄主体型差异以及雌蜂亲缘关系对上述种群动态的调控作用。研究中将产卵雌蜂按亲缘关系分组，为每组成员提供两只体型各异的寄主。核心观测内容包括寄主选择行为、产卵时机、寄主间移动情况以及产卵雌蜂死亡率。
本数据集涵盖以下观测数据：产卵雌蜂死亡率、寄主攻击时机、子代从产卵至羽化的完整发育进程、子代羽化情况，以及产卵雌蜂的移动行为与栖息位置。
