Supplement1.csv -- data from the 114 studies used in the meta-analysis
This file contains data from the 114 studies used in the meta-analysis. The first line contains column headings that are defined below. At the bottom of Supplement1.csv are 3 rows for QA/QC. Labels for these rows can be found at the right side of the spreadsheet. In order, from top to bottom, the columns provide: (1) sum of all data in the column, (2) number of non-numeric cells in the column, and (3) number of missing values in the column. At the right side of Supplement1.csv, for each row of the spreadsheet, 3 columns provide: (1)sum of all data in the row, (2) number of non-numeric cells in the row, and (3) number of missing values in the row.
In the file Supplement1.csv each line within the predator, herbivore, and plant sections contains information for a species, if named in the original study. If not named, these data were generally lumped into a single category. Thus, a single study can be represented by several lines of data. Most analyses were done, as per the Methods section, on means across categories.
