Description
LepFieldDiets
Data for field surveys to determine the relationship
between Leptasterias sp. size and the size of various
prey items including Tegula funebralis. Diet diversity
also assessed.
Metadata_LepFieldDiets
Metadata, figure data, and other reported means for
field surveys to determine the relationship between
Leptasterias sp. size and the size of various prey
items. Diet diversity also assessed.
TegSizeRefugeLab
Data for experiments pairing varying sizes of
Leptasterias spp. and Tegula funebralis in the
laboratory to determine the size refuge of snails
from predation by seastars
Metadata_TegSizeRefugeLab
Metadata, figure data, and other reported means for
for experiments pairing varying sizes of Leptasterias
spp. and Tegula funebralis in the laboratory to
determine the size refuge of snails from predation
by seastars
LepCueExpt
Data for experiment testing size-dependent
responses of Tegula to tactile, waterborne, and no
cue from Leptasterias seastars. Tested both escape
speed and meandering behavior
Metadata_LepCueExpt
Metadata, figure data, and other reported means for
experiment testing size-dependent responses of
Tegula to tactile, waterborne, and no cue from
Leptasterias seastars. Tested both escape speed and
meandering behavior
SizeExpt_Behavior
Data for experiment testing how Tegula size
changes their behavioral response to Leptasterias
SizeExpt_Algae
Data for experiment testing how Tegula size
changes the strength of trait-mediated indirect
interactions between Leptasterias and microalgae
Metadata_SizeExpt
Metadata, figure data, and other reported means for
experiment testing how Tegula size changes their
response to Leptasterias and the strength of trait-
mediated indirect interactions between Leptasterias
and microalgae
HungerExpt_Behavior
Data for experiment testing how Tegula hunger level
changes their behavioral response to Leptasterias
HungerExpt_Algae
Data for experiment testing how Tegula hunger level
changes the strength of trait-mediated indirect
interactions between Leptasterias and microalgae
Metadata_HungerExpt
Metadata, figure data, and other reported means for
experiment testing how Tegula hunger level changes
their response to Leptasterias and the strength of
trait-mediated indirect interactions between
Leptasterias and microalgae
