Description: 

The Mixture column is an individual identifying label for each of the 12 mixtures of different animals' waste products creating a treatment. Every mixture contained exudates from different individual animals. For example, bc-m1 contained urine from blue crabs fed a mud crab diet, while bc-m2 contained urine from different blue crabs fed a mud crab diet. More information on the animals that made up each mixture can be found in the Methods section and the supplemental information.
