Strasburg&Boone (Freshwater Biology): Do Trematode Parasites Alter Competitive Interactions Between Snail and Anuran Hosts in Aquatic Systems

<p dir="ltr">Dataset for paper by Strasburg & Boone published in Freshwater Biology 2026. </p><p dir="ltr">Using a randomized factorial design, we manipulated tadpole presence (0 or 30 tadpoles added), snail density (0, 3 [low-density], or 11[high-density] snails added), and parasite presence (parasites present [i.e., infected snails at snail densities of 3 or 11, or cercariae-only when snails were not present] or parasites absent [i.e., uninfected snails at densities of 3 or 11 or water-only when snails were not present]) with 4 replicates per treatment (2 tadpole presence treatments X 3 snail density treatments X 2 parasite presence treatments x 4 replicates = 48 mesocosms, the experimental units in this study).</p>
