Data_repository_file

The study is comprised of a number of discrete components, each addressing specific hypotheses, as outlined in Table 1 of the associated Oikos manuscript. This data file is comprised of four data sheets. Data sheet 1 (Sex ratio-Field) contains percentage data for male and female Lovenula raynerae over the hydroperiod (Table 1- Field study). Data sheet 2 (Sex ratio-Lab) contains raw count data for male and female Lovenula raynerae, from a controlled laboratory experiment, over time (Table 1- Experiment 1). Data sheet 3 (Predation success experiment) contains raw count data from an experiment assessing predation success between the predator (Enithares sobria) and prey (Lovenula raynerae) (Table 1- Experiment 2). Data sheet 4 (Escape-Attack speed) contains maximum swimming speed data (expressed in mm per second) for Lovenula raynerae (prey) during escape events and for Enithares sobria (predator) during attack events (Table 1- Experiment 3).
