Abstract
These data contain results from mesocosm experiments measuring how temperature affects predation rates by whelks on barnacles. These results include barnacles eaten and whelk movements under warm and cold conditions. The experiments were done in the Galapagos Science Center in San Cristobal, Galapagos. Estimates of how temperature modifies activity and predation rates will help understand and predict changes in marine communities under future climate change scenarios. For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'. The most current version of this dataset is available at: https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/894148
