Differential foraging on larvae and puparia of blow flies by carrion-associated predatory beetles

This repository contains the raw data underlying the manuscript "Differential predation on blow fly larvae and puparia by carrion-associated beetles". The datasets comprise behavioural observations from laboratory predation experiments involving three carrion-associated beetle species (Creophilus maxillosus, Saprinus planiusculus, and Margarinotus brunneus) and different developmental stages of the blow fly Lucilia sericata. The repository includes raw data for mortality, time to first attack, and the number of unsuccessful predatory attacks, providing the basis for all statistical analyses reported in the manuscript.
