Induced defenses as a management tool: Shaping individuals to their environment

These data include oyster morphological characteristics and individual survivorship after
oysters were settled onto tiles, nursed with predator cues (caged blue crabs, caged oyster drills,
controls of no cues), then planted at seven field sites along the Alabama coastline. Subsets of
oysters were assessed for shell strength, size, and dry weight using a Kistler force sensor and
drying oven while oyster survivorship was assessed by hand periodically in the field for up to
3.5 months.

本数据集涵盖牡蛎幼体附着于附着基板、在捕食线索（笼养蓝蟹、笼养牡蛎钻螺、无线索对照组）环境中培育后，定植于阿拉巴马州海岸线沿线7个野外样地的个体形态特征与存活数据。其中，部分牡蛎个体通过基斯特勒力传感器（Kistler force sensor）与干燥烘箱完成壳体强度、尺寸及干重的测定；牡蛎个体存活率则通过野外人工定期监测，监测时长最长达3.5个月。
