Files in this package:

Title: Nörgaard-et-al-prob-dispersal.csv

Description: Data for the probability of dispersal from a crowded patch to an empty neighbouring patch. Listed are each population (Population_ID), the number of successful dispersal events (Successes), the total number of individuals (Total), the sex of the host (Sex, M or F), and their infection status (Inf, Y or N).

Title: Nörgaard-et-al-cumul-patches.csv

Description: The cumulative number of patches (Cumul_patch) host travelled in the continuous microcosms as a function of time (number of days, Day_number), pathogen genotype (Pathogen_genotype) and host sex (Sex).

Title: Nörgaard-et-al-spore-tot-dist.csv

Description: Overall spore loads and total distance traveled at host death or the end of the experiment. Variables include, Individual ID, total patches travelled (total_patch), mean spore loads (mean_spores), pathogen genotype (Pathogen_genotype) and host sex (Sex).
