Interaction between predators (Cheyletus eruditus) and prey (Aleuroglyphus agilis)-Raw data

Description

A dataset containing the abundance of Cheyletus eruditus and Aleuiroglyphus agilis, as a predator-prey system on semoletta and wheat flour. A fraction at the beginning of each experiment shows the initial relation between predators and prey; e.g. 10/5 means 10 prey and 5 predators (reported in variable "Treatment"). Dataset includes age structured population abundances. The number of individuals is reported as Individuals per 0.2 g prey food. Wheat flour was used as food.
