This dataset includes sea star size structure data collected as part of the study described below. See the "Related Datasets" section for abundance data. Mass mortality from disease epidemics can challenge the resistance and resilience of populations and communities. Assessing the impacts of such events and their consequences is crucially dependent on long-term datasets In 2013-16, sea star wasting disease (SSWD) caused population-wide crashes of the archetypal keystone species, the sea star ...
