Raw behavioural data from predator-prey experiments with palaemonid shrimps and juvenile giant grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus)
Description
This dataset contains raw behavioral data from 90 experimental trials testing host protection and predator-avoidance in five palaemonid shrimp species across three treatments (bare tank, synthetic anemone, live anemone Entacmaea quadricolor). Data includes: - Shrimp survival time (Table S1) - Frequency of hunting attempts by fish Epinephelus lanceolatus (Table S2) - Frequency of tail-flipping in shrimps (Table S6) - Proportion of time spent on continuous behaviors of shrimps and fish (Table S3 and S5) - Proportion of time spent on different spatial regions of shrimps (Table S4) Data supports the manuscript: [Tse, T. W., Wong, T. H. H. & Tsang, L. M. (in press). Protective benefit of sea anemone host to symbiotic palaemonid shrimps and predator-avoidance behaviours among palaemonid shrimps. Zoology].
