Data for the manuscript "Nutrients and herbivory, but not sediments, have opposite and independent effects on the tropical macroalga, Padina boryana" (Johnson et al.) collected in the field in Mo'orea, French Polynesia between 21 January and 8 February 2016. Includes benthic cover data for macroalgae, herbivore surveys, and results of three-factor field experiment testing the effects of nutrient loading, herbivory, and sediment grain size on P. boryana biomass accumulation.

Aquatic plant nitrogen uptake rates from the sediment for different plant species. HOBO data for light frequencies during incubations, and results of nutrient analyses of the sediment porewaters of individual plants and the water column too. Please contact authors before you use this data.

Snail escape responses to threat cues under control and acidified conditions.

Daily dietary proportions and total intake mass (kg) of Pacific herring, capelin, California squid, and Chinook salmon fed to an adult and juvenile beluga whale at the Vancouver Aquarium one year prior to death.

Data sets relate to the surveys and grazer-exclusion experiments performed by Kriegisch, Reeves, Johnson, Ling in Port Phillip Bay Victoria, Australia. The manuscript that describes the data sets is entitled: "Sea urchin control of macroalgal communities across a productivity gradient" Kriegisch, N., Reeves, S., Johnson, C., Ling, S.

"Procedural_control_octocoral_graer-exclusion_experiment_PPB.xlsx" Data set (1.) contains survey data - point intercept counts of macroalgae across 3 distinct environmental zones of Port Phillip Bay in Oct/ Nov 2013. Percentage cover of macroalgae was assessed visually by inspecting algae present at each of 50 intersecting points (defined by the intersection of perpendicularly strung wires) within five 0.5 m by 0.5 m metal quadrats placed at 10 m intervals along a single 50 m transect line laid at each of 6 sites within each of the environmentally distinct zones during Spring (October/ November). The intersecting points were then multiplied by two to obtain percentage cover estimates for each macroalgal taxa (resolved to species-level where possible, or genera-level). The total number of intersecting points counted could exceed 50 points (i.e. >100% cover) as algal taxa composing the overstory, understory and substratum were assessed. Data set (2.) contains co-variates concurrently measured at each survey transect in data set (1.). Data set (3.) contains data for the pilot octocoral grazer-exclusion experiment. Data is planar percentage cover of macroalgae in grazer-exclusion and background control plots in each of 3 distinct environmental zones of Port Phillip Bay. Data set (4.) contains Ulva seaweed production estimates in the absence of grazers across the 3 distinct environmental zones of Port Phillip Bay. Data set (5.) contains data for the procedurally-controlled octocoral grazer-exclusion experiment. Data is planar percentage cover of macroalgae in grazer-exclusion and background control plots in each of 3 distinct environmental zones of Port Phillip Bay.

The following supplementary data includes raw data collected during video analysis of both baited (BRUVS) and unbaited (UBRUVS) remote underwater video systems. Each analysis number represents a 20 minute sequence for BRUVS and 2 minute sequence for UBRUVS.
