Data on Lepidium draba seed set and genetic diversity in northern Colorado
November 13, 2025
Data were collected on the seed production and genetic diversity of Lepidium draba, an invasive plant. Site characteristics were also measured for 26 sites throughout northern Colorado. In addition, a pollen supplementation experiment was conducted at six of those sites, in which L. draba plants were pollinated with within-population pollen, among-population pollen, or were not pollinated, and seed production was compared among treatments.

Premise Clonality, a form of asexual reproduction and spread, is common among invasive plants, though sexual reproduction via seeds is often still important for their long-range dispersal. In small populations, clonality has been hypothesized to interfere with sexual reproduction by limiting outcrossing opportunities of a plant. Methods We developed a structural equation model based on...
