Data and code for "Experimental assessment of the predation pressure by the exotic flatworm Obama nungara in its introduced range"

Land planarians are carnivorous predators, feeding mainly on soil macrofauna such as earthworms, gastropods and other land planarians. Several land planarian species have become invasive worldwide and pose a threat to soil biodiversity. Among them, Obama nungara is one of the most abundant species found in France. This study was designed to explore O. nungara’s predation frequency, growth rate and preferential predation using an experimental approach. Two types of experiments were performed: single experiments, where the predator was offered 3 prey items of the same species and mixed experiments, where the predator was offered 3 prey items of different species at the same time.
