Table 3 Description of data files included in the data package.

0_Column_Descriptors.csv

Column descriptions for all data files.

1_Nodes.csv

Nodes list for the food web, including node metadata.

2_Links.csv

Links list for food web, including link metadata.

3_Zooplankton_data.csv

Zooplankton sampling data, associated photos in Zooplankton_Photos_Kelp_Forest.tgz

4_Holdfast_data.csv

Holdfast sampling data, associated photos in Holdfast_Photos_Kelp_Forest.tgz

5_Small_Gastropods.csv

Small gastropod sampling data, associated photos in Small_Gastropod_Photos_Kelp_Forest.tgz

6_Sampling_sites.csv

Sites where sampling for parasites occurred.

7_N_Dissected.csv

Species dissected and sample sizes. Some species dissected were not included in the food web if they did not meet abundance criteria but are included here as they may be useful for other parasitological studies.

8_Dissection_data.csv

Dissection data for fish and invertebrate hosts. Some species did not meet criteria for inclusion in the final food web but are included here as they may be useful for other studies. Associated photos in Parasite_Photos_Kelp_Forest.tgz

9_Record_range_expansions.csv

Host species for which parasite records were included from San Francisco Bay, CA, USA to Punta San Hipolito, Baja California, Mexico.

10_FN_probabilities.csv

Probabilities of false negative links for each possible link in the following bipartite networks: parasite-mammal, parasite-bird, parasite-shark, trophically transmitted parasite-fish, and directly transmitted parasite-fish.

11_Species_removed_FNs.csv

Parasite species removed from network due to high error in false negative predictions.

12_Links_removed_FNs.csv

Links removed due to high false negative errors.

13_Ref.ID.csv

References and corresponding numeric codes used in 1_Nodes.csv and 2_Links.csv
