How to read the file “Lacey et al. – seeds per spike data Apr2012”
(Lacey et al. “Fitness Effects of Floral Plasticity and Thermoregulation in a Thermally
Changing Environment”)
This file provides information about seed production in a manipulative field experiment
(2008) in which marked spikes from genotypes that differ in floral reflectance plasticity
were induced to produce different phenotypes and then set out in the field at different
times during the flowering season. Contact Elizabeth Lacey for more information.
Data for Phenotypic Manipulation Experiment: (Each line represents data for a single
spike.)
