Lupine alkaloid data
This is an Excel file containing one sheet with 23 columns. Each row represents the data and metadata for a single tissue sample from a single individual. Column 1: specifies the species; Column 2: species the individual ID (ID numbers repeat across species); Column 3: specifies the tissue; Column 4
Data from: Attract or defend? Pollen and vegetative secondary chemistry of three pollen-rewarding lupines
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Optimal Defense Theory predicts that selection should drive plants to differentially allocate resources for herbivore defense to tissues with high fitness values. As pollen’s primary role is the transport of gametes, plants may be expected to defend it from herbivory. However,
Data from: Are leaf functional traits “invariant” with plant size, and what is “invariance” anyway?
Studies of size-related plant traits have established a suite of mathematical functions describing whole plant investment and allocation. In parallel, studies of plant “economic spectra” have measured the scaling and variance composition of traits related to the major dimensions of both structure an
Data from: Shifts and disruptions in resource-use trait syndromes during the evolution of herbaceous crops
Trait-based ecology predicts that evolution in high-resource agricultural environments should select for suites of traits that enable fast resource acquisition and rapid canopy closure. However, crop breeding targets specific agronomic attributes rather than broad trait syndromes. Breeding for speci
