The role of sea hares as significant algal herbivores on the Southern Great Barrier Reef

The data files are as follows:

Other species - raw data on genera of algae (and some other organisms) observed in quadrats during our surveys at Heron Island

algal.distribution.tabulated - summary data on the three most common algal genera used for chi-squared test.

algal.dry.weights - data for trials aimed at establishing an equation to convert displacement volume of bundles of Laurencia to dry weights in grams

algal.herbivory.trials - data from sea hare herbivory trials, including amount eaten each 24 hour trial and sea hare size.

All data was collected by the primary researchers in the field.

The R script to process these files is available here: https://github.com/rcrofts/SeaHareScript.git.

These data were processed using RStudio version 1.2.5019
