eurosta.dispersal.data.Start&Gilbert2016

Sheet 1 represents data on gall size and attack rates of natural enemies. Patch is a unique number for each patch of goldenrod. Distance is the distance in meter from the largest patch to the focal patch. Stems is the number of ramets of goldenrod in the focal patch. Gall is the number of galls in a particular patch. Fly is binary where 0 represents Eurosta having died for any reason whereas 1 represents Eurosta which survived. Larvae is the same as fly but replaces zeros with NAs when there is no gall present in the line. Bird is binary where 0=no and 1=yes bird attack. Mordellistena, eury.obs, and eury.gig represent attack by different parasitoid species and are coded identically to bird attack. Diameter is the maximum horizontal diameter of the gall in mm. Sheet 2 shows data on dispersal data for individual eurosta. Individual is a unique identifier for each individual Eurosta. Patch is the natal patch of the focal Eurosta. Stems and distance are as described above. Gall refers to the gall number in sheet 1. Time represents when the data on each individual was collect where 1,2,3, and 4 represent 2,4,6, and 24 hours after release respectively. Dispersal is the cumulative distance moved by that fly in meters

Lake location, zooplankton species abundance and body size data

This file contains the raw data used in all analyses. Within the file is the zooplankton species composition from 2011 (relative abundance) and historical samples (relative abundance and presence/absence). In addition, body length data (micrometers) for a subset of the lakes is present. Finally, geographic coordinates for each lake (latitude/longitude) are in the data file

Complete table of the studies included in our review

In this paper we reviewed experimental studies that have tested how dispersal affects metacommunity diversity to determine why shortcomings emerge, and to provide a framework for empirical tests of theory that capture the processes structuring diversity in natural metacommunities. This table is a full list of the 50 studies of included experiments, and their corresponding methods and results

Colloid Deposit Morphology and Clogging in Porous Media: Fundamental Insights Through Investigation of Deposit Fractal Dimension

Experiments reveal a wide discrepancy between the permeability of porous media containing colloid deposits and the available predictive equations. Evidence suggests that this discrepancy results, in part, from the predictive equations failing to account for colloid deposit morphology. This article reports a series of experiments using static light scattering (SLS) to characterize colloid deposit morphology within refractive index matched (RIM) porous media during flow through a column. Real time measurements of permeability, specific deposit, deposit fractal dimension, and deposit radius of gyration, at different vertical positions, were conducted with initially clean porous media at various ionic strengths and fluid velocities. Decreased permeability (i.e., increased clogging) corresponded with higher specific deposit, lower fractal dimension, and smaller radius of gyration. During deposition, fractal dimension, radius of gyration, and permeability decreased with increasing specific deposit. During flushing with colloid-free fluid, these trends reversed, with increased fractal dimension, radius of gyration, and permeability. These observations suggest a deposition scenario in which large and uniform aggregates become deposits, which reduce porosity, lead to higher fluid shear forces, which then decompose the deposits, filling the pore space with small and dendritic fragments of aggregate
