Dataset: Synthesis of doliolid imagery and oceanographic data from six ecosystems collected from multiple research cruises conducted between 2010 and 2019

This file contains the Start and Stop latitudes and longitudes for all of the transects analyzed in this study. This was used to generate the map in the manuscript (Greer et al., 2022). Note that all longitudes in the Western hemisphere should be negative. This applies to all data except those collected in the Mediterranean Sea. Column names, descriptions, and units: Location = transect name. ...

This folder contains the calculated concentrations and average oceanographic variables in each bin from both automated (using computer vision) and manually verified data. File names and descriptions: CA2018-dolconc.csv = Northern California in summer 2018. CA2019-dolconc.csv = Northern California in summer 2019. Fl2014-dolconc.csv = Straits of Florida in summer 2014. Fl2015-dolconc.csv = ...

This folder contains the raw data from the different ecosystems generated with computer vision algorithms where each row is an individual doliolid and all of the oceanographic parameters associated with it. File names and descriptions: File "env_visufront_cc.csv" contains some different data columns that were used in analysis. The following files contain the automated identification of ob...

This folder contains the manually verified doliolid identifications in the Gulf of Mexico and Southern California. Southern California had individual “casts” analyzed, so the times for these chunks of data are also contained in this folder. In these files, each row is an individual animal, and the associated data are similar to full descriptions of the oceanographic data collected. File names ...

This folder contains oceanographic sensor data from the towed imaging system, as well as linearly interpolated data used to make plots of the doliolid distributions in the paper. File names and descriptions: 072516physical.csv = sensor data collected on July 25, 2016 at the middle corridor (MCORR) just south of Mobile Bay, AL. This is the raw sensor data. 072616physical.csv = sensor data c...

This folder contains actual images identified to 3 different life stages of doliolids from the northern Gulf of Mexico.

This folder contains a compilation of data from two open access databases used to make some calculations in the published manuscript. The folder also contains the data frame used to run the piecewise structural equation models (PSEM). File names and descriptions: COPEPOD2012_DolPaper_locations.csv = has the location of the crustacean biomass estimates from the COPEPOD database. The column name...

This folder contains the R-scripts used to conduct all analyses synthesizing these datasets. For all of these scripts, comments are provided in the script to elaborate on what is happening as far as the inputs and outputs. File names and descriptions: DolBinning.R = Takes all individual doliolid data and merges it with the oceanographic sensor data to get counts per unit volume and patchines...
