Attached is the complete raw data from Vaughan and Dixson 2021 ‘Assessing the impact of static and fluctuating ocean acidification on the behavior of Amphiprion percula’. Data collected from the behavioral lateralization trials has been inputted into the file ‘Vaughan_2020_Lateralization_Raw’. Column A indicate the CO2 treatment group, where “SPD” = Static Present Day, “SFD” = Static Future Day, “FPD” = Fluctuating Present Day, and “FFD” = Fluctuating Future Day. Each individual fish used from each treatment group (n=30) is displayed in Column B. Column C shows the binary results, in order, of each fish’s turns in the T-maze, and was scored as 0 (right turn) or 1 (left turn) for a total of 10 turns. The total number of turns to the right and left are provided in Column D-E. The relative lateralization (LR) of each fish was calculated {LR = [(Turn to the right – Turn to the left)/(Turn to the right + Turn to the left)] ∗ 100} in Column F. Absolute lateralization (LA) is provided in Column G. Chemosensory response data has been inputted into the file ‘Vaughan_2020_Chemosensory_Raw’. Column A and B display treatment group and fish ID (n=20) as outlined above. The cue used in trial of either Tang (nonpredator) or Cod (predator) is provided in Column C, and the control in Column D. Numbers in these are used solely for the purpose of data analysis. The side of the cue in the flume is provided in Column E, and corresponds with the cue labelled in Column C. Buckets containing either the cue or control were placed above the flume and color coded as “BS” (blue side) and “RS” (red side), as the person scoring the trials was blinded. This also helped account for the switch (from one side of the flume to the other) that occurs halfway through each trial. Columns F-G represent results from the first 2min recording period, and Columns H-I represent results from the second 2min recording period. The total tallies from each fish are provided in Column J; the totals from each side are calculated in Columns K-L, and then sorted by ...
