Data for: Wave exposure alters both top-down and bottom-up controls on benthic community structure

1, R script containing all statistical analyses and figure generation used in the manuscript

2. Excel File containing algal richness and abundance data from experimental settlement plates sampled during the warm season (low-wave conditions) in January 2017.

3. Excel file containing algal richness and abundance data from experimental settlement plates sampled during the cool season (high-wave conditions) in August 2017.

4. Excel file provides the taxonomic list and morphospecies definitions for all algae identified in the experiment.

5. Excel file reporting the mean water flow speeds (cm/s) for each site and season, measured with acoustic Doppler velocimeters.

6. R object with formatted presence–absence data of algal morphospecies across treatments.
