Predation data of tethered Nucella lamellosa in the presence of predators within laboratory mesocosms at Bodega Marine Lab in 2019
Abstract:
To examine the impacts of fear removal on the strength of trophic cascades, we measured predation rates on tethered and untethered Nucella lamellosa in the presence of Pisaster ochraceus. Data from these experiments were used to estimate predation rates on Nucella that did not display behavioral fear response. Similar predation trials were conducted with morphologically induced Nucella to estimate the effect of morphological defenses on predation rates. The experiment was conducted within laboratory mesocosms at Bodega Marine Lab in 2019.
