Biomass of sessile marine invertebrate communities with exposure to predation (Competition and Predation across Latitude)

Dataset: Biomass of sessile marine invertebrate communities with exposure to predationBiomass of sessile marine invertebrates from coastal sites across a latitudinal gradient spanning the subarctic to the tropics. Invertebrate communities developed under low predation for three or 12 months within cages and then underwent exposure to predation or were re-caged as controls. This experiment provided an assessment of predation impact on mature communities to complement predator exclusion experiments that measured impact of predators on prey community assembly.

Recruitment composition of sessile marine invertebrate communities across latitude (Competition and Predation across Latitude)

Dataset: Recruitment composition of sessile marine invertebrate communities across latitudeComposition of newly recruited communities of sessile marine invertebrates from coastal sites across a latitudinal gradient spanning the subarctic to the tropics. Caging treatments were employed to test the effect of predation on recruitment. Monitoring began in Alaska in June 2015, California in May 2016, Mexico in June 2017 and Panama in December 2015.

Richness of experimental marine invertebrate communities across latitude (Competition and Predation across Latitude)

Dataset: Richness of experimental marine invertebrate communities across latitudeRichness of sessile marine invertebrate communities from coastal sites across a latitudinal gradient spanning the subarctic to the tropics. Communities developed for three or 12 months under nine different treatments that tested the effect of predation and competition. Caging was used to reduce predation pressure and biomass removals opened up space, a limiting resource in sessile communities.

Intra-annual salinity and temperature variation in four regions across latitude (Competition and Predation across Latitude)

Dataset: Intra-annual salinity and temperature variation in four regions across latitudeTemperature and salinity measurements from coastal sites across a latitudinal gradient spanning the subarctic to the tropics. Environmental variables were obtained at 1 meter below the water surface and are represented in biweekly periods for one year.

Predation intensity on marine invertebrate communities across latitude observed using underwater video (Competition and Predation across Latitude)

Dataset: Predation intensity on marine invertebrate communities across latitude observed using underwater videoPredation intensity recorded from exposed prey communities at coastal sites across a latitudinal gradient spanning the subarctic to the tropics. Invertebrate communities developed under low predation for three or 12 months within cages. Mature prey communities were then exposed to ambient predation, with a high definition camera recording all predation events during the diurnal period over three days of exposure. This experiment provided an assessment of predation intensity (and predator identity) to complement predator exclusion experiments that measured impact of predators on prey community assembly.

Biomass of experimental marine invertebrate communities across latitude (Competition and Predation across Latitude)

Dataset: Biomass of experimental marine invertebrate communities across latitudeBiomass of sessile marine invertebrates from coastal sites across a latitudinal gradient spanning the subarctic to the tropics. Biomass of each community was measured after a developmental period of three or 12 months under nine different treatments that tested the effect of predation and competition. Caging was used to reduce predation pressure and biomass removals opened up space, a limiting resource in sessile communities.
