Description
Summary:These data are Bayesian Additive Regression Tree model annual predictions for habitat suitability of marine fish species across a range of body sizes and belonging to different feeding guilds from 2010 to 2095 in 5 year intervals in the northeast Atlantic shelf seas. Feeding guilds were allocated based on classifications following Thompson et al. (2020). The purpose of this study was to predict how climate change could affect the species richness of consumers lower in the food web (planktivores), compared to those intermediate (benthivores) and higher up (piscivores). In brief, a collation of trophic interactions spanning the northeast Atlantic shelf seas has been applied to define feeding guilds by grouping fish species size classes (we use the taxonomic level of Gobiidae and Ammodytes for taxa that are not consistently identified to species) that have prey taxa in common, and whose prey differentiate them from other predator guilds based on cluster analysis. Taxon-specific size categories were defined as: ...
