Recruitment composition of sessile marine invertebrate communities across latitude (Competition and Predation across Latitude) from 2015-01-03 to 2018-06-14 (NCEI Accession 0291498)

Preview graphic

This dataset contains biological data collected in the Coastal Waters of Southeast Alaska and British Columbia, Gulf of California, and North Pacific Ocean from 2015-01-03 to 2018-06-14. These data include taxon. The instruments used to collect these data include Grooved PVC settlement plate. These data were collected by Gregory E. Ruiz of Smithsonian Environmental Research Center, Carmen Schlöder and Mark E. Torchin of Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, and Amy L. Freestone and Laura J. Jurgens of Temple University as part of the "Community Effects of Competition and Predation across Latitude and Implications for Species Invasions (Competition and Predation across Latitude)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2022-04-18.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Dataset Description:
Composition 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.

Supplemental Information	Acquisition Description: Methodology: Marine invertebrates recruited onto PVC settlement panels (14 x 14cm) that were hung face down on floating docks one meter below the water surface at local marinas at three coastal sites in each region (Alaska, California, Mexico, Panama). Panels were exchanged every two weeks with clean panels for 12 months. Communities were recruited under the following treatments: full cage (i.e. reduced predation), partial cage (i.e. procedural cage control; ambient predation) and (c) no cage (i.e. ambient predation). Caging materials had a mesh size of 0.635 cm. Experiments were initiated in Alaska in June 2015, California in May 2016, Mexico in June 2017, and Panama in December 2015. Sampling and analytical procedures: Following the recruitment period, communities were retrieved and examined under a stereoscope. Newly recruited communities were assessed for number and identity of individuals. Recruitment was quantified on a standardized area of the panel (100 cm2 on a pre-assigned corner). Individuals were classified into distinct sessile morpho-taxonomic taxa based on a combination of growth form and taxonomy.
