Comprehensive demographic dataset for Steiner Ranch, Austin, TX, US including population statistics, household income, housing units, education levels, employment data, and transportation with year-over-year changes.

We collected phytoplankton, zooplankton, Notonecta undulata adults, and Neoplea striola adults from small freshwater bodies in Austin, TX.

For the laboratory experiment, we filled 20 microcosms with 1.5 L of a mixture of the plankton, doubling the concentration of zooplankton in 10 of the microcosms, and adding a Notonecta individual to half (5) of the microcosms with each zooplankton density. We then set up 20 smaller microcosms the same way, except with 100 mL plankton mixture and Neoplea individuals. After 5 days we filtered and preserved the zooplankton. Finally we used microscopy to identify, count, and measure the zooplankton, allowing us to estimate the biomass of each zooplankton taxon in each microcosm using length-mass regressions.

For the field experiment, we used the same plankton to establish pond communities in 20 cattle tanks at Brackenridge Field Laboratory in Austin, TX. We added 6 Notonecta to 5 tanks, 90 Neoplea to 5 tanks, 3 Notonecta and 45 Neoplea to 5 tanks, and...
