Additional file 2 of Fish predation on corals promotes the dispersal of coral symbionts

Additional file 2: Source data. The tabs “cell counts_metadata” and “Cellcounts” contain densities of live (unstained by trypan blue; column ‘Live’) and dead (stained by trypan blue; column ‘Dead’) Symbiodiniaceae cells ml− 1 material (feces, sediment seawater), as determined through cell counts using a hemocytometer and compound microscope at 20x magnification. Reported cell densities are averages of 8 replicate counts. The code to replicate this analysis can be found on https://github.com/CorreaLab/Fishces_2020/blob/master/Symbiodiniaceae cell counts code . The tabs starting with “ITS2” contain sequencing data after processing in Symportal [29]. Individual ITS-2 profiles have been removed to facilitate analysis of Symbiodiniaceae communities at the genus level. All tabs except the “ITS2 metadata” tab are required for analysis using code deposited on https://github.com/CorreaLab/Fishces_2020/blob/master/Symbiodiniaceae community analysis code . The tab “ITS2 random subsampling” contains the randomly subsampled data used for statistical analysis with PERMANOVA. The tabs “Bootstrap_datafile_metadata” and “Bootstrap_datafile” contain the dataset used to estimate the daily dispersal of Symbiodiniaceae cells by three fish species. The column ‘Live_g_sample’ contains Symbiodiniaceae cell densities g− 1 fecal sample; the column ‘Wet_weight’ contains the weight of fecal pellets cm− 1; the columns ‘MCR_LTER_Site’ – ‘Fish_density’ contain fish abundances at four transects of MCR LTER sites 1 and 2; the column ‘Pellet_length’ contains lengths of fecal pellets as measured during observations in the field. The code to replicate this analysis is available on https://github.com/CorreaLab/Fishces_2020/blob/master/Symbiodiniaceae cell dispersal bootstrap code
