Predator metamorphosis and its consequence for prey risk assessment

# Predator metamorphosis and its consequence for prey risk assessment [https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.prr4xgxtr](https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.prr4xgxtr) Data provided here show the difference in antipredator response of wood frog tadpoles when tested with different ontogenetic stages of diving beetles and adult salamanders. Tadpoles learned to recognize both adult and larval beetles as risky after being conditioned to recognize one stage or the other. When conditioned to learn either larval or adult salamanders as risky, tadpoles showed antipredator response to only that life stage. ## Description of the data and file structure The file has two sheets. The first sheet is for experiment 1, where we evaluated beetle odor generalization between two ontogenetic stages by tadpoles. The second sheet is for experiment 2, where we evaluated salamander odor generalization between two ontogenetic stages by tadpoles. You will find similar columns in both of the sheets.\ The columns are as follows: * Column A: Pail is where the tadpoles were conditioned to learn a predator odor * Column B: Clutch is used to identify the egg mass from which an individual tadpole was hatched * Column C: Treatment represents the odor/water with which tadpoles were conditioned with to learn it as risky * Column D: Cue is the odor/water that was used for testing tadpoles' response * Column E: Pre represents the number of lines crossed by tadpoles before the test cue exposure during the testing phase * Column F: Post represents the number of lines crossed by tadpoles after the test cue exposure during the testing phase * Column G: Change is the difference between Pre and Post.
