Conspecific cues suppress metabolic rate.xlsx

We used sessile marine invertebrates to test how food availability interacts with oxygen availability, water flow and chemical cues to affect metabolic rate.

Mass is weight of colony (g)

VO2 is oxygen consumption rate (mL O2/h)

Avg_Loph is the average number of extruded lophophores

Treatment_order is the order colonies were exposed to the control treatment in Experiment 4
