Magnolia Pollination Data on Thrips as Brood Sites

Data and analysis scripts support a study on thrips pollination and their facultative use of Magnolia compressa flowers as larval brood sites in Japan. The dataset, approximately 62 KB in size, was authored by Masato Muramatsu and is associated with a published scientific article. It was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing thrips visitation and pollination rates in Magnolia compressa flowers.
• Studying the relationship between thrips larval development and flower characteristics.
• Modeling facultative brood-site mutualism dynamics between insects and plants.
• Replicating statistical analyses from the associated publication using provided scripts.

Strengths

• Dataset is directly linked to a peer-reviewed scientific publication, ensuring research relevance.
• Available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse and redistribution.
• Cross-platform presence on DataCite and figshare indicates established sharing and importance.

Limitations

• Specific column names, row counts, and detailed variable descriptions are not provided in any source.
• The temporal and specific geographical range within Japan for data collection is not specified.
