  1. These data describe the preferences of two herbivores, the wavy turban snail Megastraea undosa and the Pacific purple urchin Strongylocentrotuts purpuratus for 14 macroalgal species relative to giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera and the role chemical defenses play in influencing herbivory. Data cover the raw grams consumed and total phenolic content of 15 total macroalgal species found in the Santa Barbara Channel and are taken from three Santa Barbara Coastal Long Term Ecological Research sites (Mohawk Reef, Arroyo Burro Reef, and Naples Reef).

  2. Larvae of the solitary ascidian, Ciona robusta, were placed in petri dishes with various species of macroalgae from the Santa Barbara Channel, and larval survival to settlement was assessed. The total phenolic contents (indicative of defensive chemicals) of the algae species were also measured, and a correlation between larval survival and phenolic content investigated. Experiments took place in Spring and Summer 2024. Data are contained in two tables: 1) larval survival in control treatments (not exposed to algae), 2) larval survival in treatment dishes (exposed to algae) as well as phenolic content of each macroalgae individual tested.

  3. These data describe 32 categorical traits for 50 species of macroalgae found in the Santa Barbara Channel. Data are contained in one table, including a list of species, trait states for any given trait, and citations for where this information was found.
