An artificial colonization substrate made of a sheet of PVC with engraved lines to roughen its surface. It is used to determine the extent of colonization and/or the diversity of settled organisms in a marine or artificial environment.
| Dataset Name | PI-Supplied Description | PI-Supplied Name |
|---|---|---|
| Paired barnacle larval supply and settlement data collected at Bird Rock, La Jolla, CA, 2014-2015 | PVC settlement plates with three grooves | |
| Biomass of experimental marine invertebrate communities across latitude (Competition and Predation across Latitude) | Marine invertebrate communities developed on PVC settlement panels (14 x 14 cm) hung on floating docks one meter below the water surface at local marinas at three coastal sites in each region (Panama, Mexico, California, Alaska). | PVC settlement panels |
| Biomass of sessile marine invertebrate communities with exposure to predation (Competition and Predation across Latitude) | Marine invertebrate communities developed on PVC settlement panels (14 x 14 cm) hung on floating docks one meter below the water surface at local marinas at three coastal sites in each region. | PVC settlement panels |
| Composition of experimental marine invertebrate communities across latitude (Competition and Predation across Latitude) | Marine invertebrate communities developed on PVC settlement panels (14 x 14 cm) hung on floating docks one meter below the water surface at local marinas at three coastal sites in each region (Panama, Mexico, California, Alaska). | PVC settlement panels |
| Composition of marine invertebrate communities across latitude with exposure to predation (Competition and Predation across Latitude) | Marine invertebrate communities grew on artificial settlement panels (14 x 14 cm) hung on floating docks one meter below the water surface at local marinas at three coastal sites in each region. | Artificial settlement panels |
| Predation intensity on marine invertebrate communities across latitude observed using underwater video (Competition and Predation across Latitude) | Marine invertebrates recruited onto PVC settlement panels (14 x 14cm) that were hung face down on floating docks one meter below the water surface at local marinas at three coastal sites in each region (Alaska, California, Mexico, Panama). Panels were exchanged every two weeks with clean panels for 12 months. | PVC settlement panels |
| Recruitment composition of sessile marine invertebrate communities across latitude (Competition and Predation across Latitude) | Marine invertebrates recruited onto PVC settlement panels (14 x 14cm) that were hung face down on floating docks one meter below the water surface at local marinas at three coastal sites in each region (Alaska, California, Mexico, Panama). Panels were exchanged every two weeks with clean panels for 12 months. | PVC settlement panels |
| Richness of marine invertebrate communities across latitude with exposure to predation (Competition and Predation across Latitude) | Marine invertebrate communities developed on PVC settlement panels (14 x 14 cm) hung on floating docks one meter below the water surface at local marinas at three coastal sites in each region. Communities developed for three or 12 months under reduced predation (in cages). | PVC settlement panels |
