Table S7: Crown-of-Thorns Starfish Locomotion Trials (n = 248)

Table S7 contains Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) data files for Crown-of-Thorns Starfish (COTS) locomotion experiments, with 248 total observations. The dataset was authored by Masumi Kamata and last updated on 2026-04-25. It records individual trials, including environmental conditions, coral mass, and starfish sex and reproductive phase.

Use Cases

• Modeling starfish locomotion probability based on seawater temperature and inflow rate.
• Analyzing the effect of reproductive phase (Pre- or Post-spawning) on movement behavior.
• Investigating the relationship between experimental coral mass (Small or Large) and starfish activity.
• Studying behavioral differences (orientation vs. no-orientation) between male and female starfish.

Strengths

• Dataset size is explicitly stated (n = 248).
• Variables are clearly defined in the description, including ID, Phase, Water, ST, Result, Sp, Mass, and Sex.
• File is small (20.3 KB) and in a common, accessible format (XLSX).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The description notes the presence of blank cells representing missing data.
