Aphid infestation induces plant-sex-specific changes in floral chemistry and pollinator behaviour in Silene latifolia
Abstract
This Dataset supports the article "Aphid infestation induces plant-sex-specific changes in floral chemistry and pollinator behaviour in Silene latifolia", which is accepted for publication in the Journal of Experimental Botany. The study addresses the combined effects of Silene latifolia plant sex and infestation with the oligophagous aphid Brachycaudus lychnidis on interactions among Silene latifolia and its specialised nursery pollinator Hadena bicruris. It contains data on various floral traits (spatial flower traits, flower colour traits, floral scent traits (floral VOC), floral rewards), pollinator behaviour in binary choice tests and plant stress indicators. The data were assessed in control and aphid-infested male and female plants. A detailed description of the data acquisition process can be found in the published manuscript.

Description of the data and file structure
File name: Data.xlsx
Below you find a list of datasets with a summary of variable names and a brief description of the data. Missing values are indicated with “NA”:

Sheet "PAP_highres": Flower traits
Data in this table comprises plant stress-related traits and floral traits measured per plant individual. Several traits were strongly correlated and therefore summarized into a single response (i.e., a single column) and modelled using a categorical co-predictor representing the respective pooled trait types.

-
response - NO_APHID: number of aphids of the regarding size per individual
-
co-predictor - E_TFLOBUD: time point of data acquisition (days after aphid infestations) for the number of open flowers and flower buds
-
response - NO_FLOBUD: number of open flowers and flower buds per individual

additional random factor - E_COL_TRIAL: flower colours have been assessed during different time points = trials (T1-T3)
