Metadata description for the dataset The dataset comprises two spreadsheets: ‘Exp 1_Occurrence’ and ‘Exp 2_Duration_Size’.
Spreadsheet 1: Exp 1_Occurrence This spreadsheet includes 7 columns, each representing a specific variable associated with interspecific encounters and outcomes between Amblyseius herbicolus females and males of three other phytoseiid species. Column name Description Male Male identification number Male_Species Species identity of the male: 'cucumeris' = Neoseiulus cucumeris; 'lentiginosus' = Amblyseius lentiginosus; 'limonicus' = Amblydromalus limonicus Female Female identification number (all A. herbicolus) Female_Species Species identity of the female: 'herbicolus' = Amblyseius herbicolus Female_Size Dorsal shield length (in micrometres, if applicable) of the A. herbicolus female Mating Occurrence of interspecific mating (0 = no mating observed; 1 = mating observed) Eaten Occurrence of male predation by A. herbicolus (0 = no predation; 1 = predation occurred)
Spreadsheet 2: Exp 2_Duration_Size This spreadsheet contains 20 columns detailing behavioural observations and morphological measurements associated with mating events between conspecifics. Column name Description Male Male identification number Male_Size Dorsal shield length of the male Female Female identification number Female_Size Dorsal shield length of the female Species Species identity of the male: 'cucumeris' = N. cucumeris; 'lentiginosus' = A. lentiginosus; 'limonicus' = Ad. limonicus Latency (min) Time (in minutes) from introduction to the onset of copulation Cont (freq) Number of contact events before successful copulation Cont duration (s) Duration (in seconds) of the final contact that led to successful copulation Tops (s) Duration (in seconds) males spent on top of females Moving (s) Duration (in seconds) males spent moving to the female’s ventral side from the posterior Oscillation (s) Duration (in seconds) males exhibited oscillatory movements before stabilising for insemination Pre-mating (s) Total duration (in seconds) from contact to onset of copulation Mating duration (hr) Duration (in hours) of copulation (from venter-to-venter positioning to separation) Expand vesicle Number of expanded vesicles observed Endospermatophores Number of endospermatophores present in the vesicles Position Anatomical position(s) of endospermatophores within the female or vesicle v1, v2, v3 Volumes (mm3) of individual endospermatophores Total_volume Total volume of all endospermatophores combined
