Summary

This dataset comes from a long-term series of species occupying fixed points on the middle intertidal (mussel-dominated) zone of a rocky intertidal shoreline. Data are relevant to studies of species replacement patterns through time. In this experiment, the dominant species, Mytilus californians, is selectively removed to simulate its local extinction. The experiment serves as a rigorous test of various modeling approaches using companion data from unmanipulated plots, and offers insight into the dynamics and interactions among species in the absence of the dominant system competitor. For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'.
