Abstract:

This dataset reports the density and mean length of marsh periwinkles Littoraria irrorata at oiled and non-oiled sites in coastal Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama from 2010 to 2015. Data include the length of one individual snail measured at each site. These data are associated with the publication: Zengel S, Weaver J, Pennings SC, Silliman B, Deis DR, Montague CL, Rutherford N, Nixon Z, Zimmerman AR (2016) Five years of Deepwater Horizon oil spill effects on marsh periwinkles Littoraria irrorata.

Purpose:

This research tested the hypotheses that the oil spill reduced snail abundance, snail size, and changed the size distributions of snails in salt marshes.

Data Parameters and Units:

site id (original site name from source), month (month of survey, 0-12), year (year of survey, 2010-2015), zone (distance from seaward marsh edge, where 1 = marsh edge (0-6 m), 2 = oiled marsh interior (6-15 m), 3 = marsh interior inland of heavy oiling ( > 15 m ), study name (author name of source dataset), oil presence (1 = oiled site, 2 = unoiled site), snails (density of snails per m2), studyzoneyear (concatenation of study (author), zone (1,2,3) and year (2010-2015), mean_length (mean length (mm) of snailed measured at site/year/zone), length (length of one individual snail measured (mm)), latitude (latitude of study site in decimal degrees), longitude (longitude of study site in decimal degrees)

Methods:

This dataset include comparable data from published and unpublished sources to perform a meta-analysis.
