Vermetid sizes from quadrats sampled in Moorea, French Polynesia from 2012-2017

Expand/Collapse All
Description

This dataset contains vermetid sizes and species identifications from quadrats on experimental reefs. These data were collected to examine spatial and temporal variation in vermetid abundances Moorea, French Polynesia. 

Long Term Vermetid Removal (LTVR) Reef sites in this project are manipulated reefs characterized in the Long Term Reef Physical Characteristics dataset.

Reefs labeled "TOW" in this dataset, numbered 129-144, are a subset of a larger number of Long Term Reefs (LTR) that were monitored as part of the project "Cryptic density dependence: the effects of spatial, ontogenetic, and individual variation in reef fish" beginning in 2003. This long term study continues to monitor those reefs in addition to reefs 193-198 starting in 2012. Data for these reefs between the years 2003 and 2009 can be found on the project site http://www.bco-dmo.org/project/540423.

Location: Moorea, French Polynesia (17.48 degrees S, 149.82 degrees W)
