Dataset: Richness of marine invertebrate communities across latitude with exposure to predation Richness of sessile marine invertebrates from coastal sites across a latitudinal gradient spanning the subarctic to the tropics. Invertebrate communities developed under low predation for three or 12 months within cages and then underwent exposure to predation or were re-caged as controls. This experiment provided an assessment of predation impact on mature communities to complement predator exclusion experiments that measured impact of predators on prey community assembly.
