Abstract

Trajectories and velocities of Crepidula fornicata larvae swimming under various food cues from experiments conducted at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in July, 2018. These data were published in DiBenedetto et al. (2020).

Trajectory data of Crepidula fornicata larvae swimming in 65mL still water flasks, analyzed from video footage. Two experimental controls were varied, resulting in four experiment types. Larvae were either previous fed or starved (Fed/St), and either in the presence of food or not in the presence of food (F/0). Five replicates (1-5) were conducted for each of the four conditions, resulting in 20 individual datasets. Further description and analysis of the data is published in DiBenedetto et al., 2020 (https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.239178).
