README file for larvae_all_pos.csv #Description: This file contains processed data of larval emergence from fruits of naturally-pollinated inflorescences. Refer to article for details of the study system, study site, and methods. Each row is a flower position on an inflorescence with at least one fruit. Columns from "year" to "buds" show inflorescence level data, and columns from "Fpos" to "larvae" show fruit level data. The dataset includes data from fruits/flowers from all positions on the inflorescences. Direct any questions about the data to the corresponding author of the article. #Use in manuscript This dataset was used for results reported in the section “Larval emergence in response to the presence of basal fruits”, Figure 3abc, and Table S6. The following R code was used to obtain the final dataframe used in the analysis reported in the article. # Start code larvae = read.csv("larvae_all_pos.csv") dat = larvae[larvae$fr == 1 & larvae$pos == "T",] # selecting flower positions from the top third of the inflorescence and where fruit was developed ## End code #Format The file is in .csv format. #Description of column headers year = year inflorescnce was sampled (2014, 2015, or 2016) inflID = unique inflorescence ID created by combining year inflorescence was sampled, and serial number of inflorescence sampled. IDs with X followed by a number are inflorescences that were collected outside the regularly sampled patch patch = whether sampled inflorescences were located within the regularly sampled patch (y/n) fruits = total number of fruits matured by the inflorescence buds = total number of buds produced by the inflorescence (quantified by counting total pedicels/fruits at the end of the flowering season) Fpos = the position of flower/fruit fr = whether flower matured to fruit (0,1) scaled = scaled position of flower/fruit where the topmost flower/fruit has position 1 frbelow = the number of fruits basal to flower/fruit pos = the position category of flower/fruit ("top" fruits/flowers with scaled position >2/3, "middle" fruits/flowers with scaled position >=1/3 and <= 2/3, and "bottom" fruits/flowers with scaled position <1/3) larvae = the number of larvae emerging from fruit (zero if flower was aborted or if no larvae emerged)
