ReadMe file for the Symphonia RTE dataset This contains raw data on the survival and growth of a reciprocal transplantation experiment of Symphonia in French Guiana. Two different ecotypes/species, S. globulifera and S. sp1, exists in sympatry. The former is a seasonally floded specialists, whereas the latter prefers hilltops and slopes. Seeds from both ecotypes and from two regions (east and west) were collected from mother trees and grown in a reciprocal transplantation experiment. The experiment was established in 2009, and measurement were taken annualy except for 2012. Year 0 = 2009 Year 1 = 2010 Year 2 = 2011 Year 4 = 2013 Year 5 = 2014 The traits measured were height (cm), diameter (mm), and total number of leaves, as well as the relative growth rates (difference between years) in these three variables. We also calculated predation as an average percentage of damaged in all leaves. Germination and survival were recorded as 0 (ungerminated or dead) and 1 (alive). Trait data for individuals that were ungerminated or dead are recorded as NA.
