MCR LTER: Coral Reef: Diadema predation and recruitment in Moorea, French Polynesia

These are field data from Moorea, French Polynesia regarding the population dynamics of Diadema savignyi .
Data were collected during the austral winters in 2009 and 2010. Four datasets are provided: (1) recruitment data of Diadema savignyi over the course of ~9 weeks during the austral winter of 2010, (2) predation data of adult Diadema using a tethering experiment, (3) urchin abundance surveys for 2009 and 2010, and (4) a 9 week weekly survey of newly recruited Diadema (test diameter). These data are part of a PhD dissertation, "Herbivore Community Dynamics and Functional Compositions in Moorea, French Polynesia", 2014, published by ProQuest.

本数据集包含采自法属波利尼西亚茉莉雅岛的野外调查数据，聚焦萨氏长棘海胆(Diadema savignyi)的种群动态。数据采集于2009年与2010年的南半球冬季。本次共提供四类数据集：(1) 2010年南半球冬季约9周期间萨氏长棘海胆的幼体补充量数据；(2) 利用拴系实验获取的成年萨氏长棘海胆捕食压力数据；(3) 2009年与2010年的海胆种群丰度调查数据；(4) 为期9周的每周跟踪调查数据，内容为新补充海胆的壳径(test diameter)。本数据集为2014年由ProQuest出版的博士学位论文《法属波利尼西亚茉莉雅岛草食动物群落动态与功能组成》(Herbivore Community Dynamics and Functional Compositions in Moorea, French Polynesia)的附属研究数据。
