Raw data and code for the Fouilloux et al. (2023) paper: Visual environment of rearing sites affects larval response to perceived risk
2023
Data and code for the Fouilloux et al. (2023) study: Visual environment of rearing sites affects larval response to perceived risk. The study examined the effect of nursery turbidity on the (visual) perception of risk for tadpoles that develop in epehemeral pools of water (phytotelmata). Attached to the data is a Data Description PDF file, which includes the definition of the two data sheets (LAS_VISION_OCT2022 and FG_TURB_JAN2023) and the methods required to collect these data. The R code that goes along with these data is also provided. The full work is cited and contextualized in the Journal of Experimental Biology.
Tadpole Responses to Environments With Limited Visibility: What We (Don’t) Know and Perspectives for a Sharper Future
2022
Amphibian larvae typically inhabit relatively shallow freshwater environments, and within these boundaries there is considerable diversity in the structure of the habitats exploited by different species. This diversity in habitat structure is usually taken into account in relation to aspects such as locomotion and feeding, and plays a fundamental role in the classification of tadpoles into ecomorphological guilds. However, its impact in shaping the sensory worlds of different species is rarely addressed, including the optical qualities of each of these types of water bodies and the challenges and limitations that they impose on the repertoire of visual abilities available for a typical vert…
