<p>Data behind the manuscript  'Predation risk regulates prey assortative mating by reducing the expected reproductive value of mates' that will be published in ESA Ecology in 2022</p> <p><br></p> <p>The manuscript includes data from a <strong>field experiment</strong> (we dug holes into the soil to attract wild isopods to found burrows and form pairs and measured their traits and their offspring traits) and <strong>behavioral experiment</strong> (we conducted a complementary experiment testing how predation risk affect reproductive behaviors of male isopods to gain a better  mechanistic understanding) performed at Avdat research station during 2019 breeding season. </p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>R code</strong> titled <strong>torsekar_etal_rcode</strong> includes analyses and figures that went into the manuscript.</p> <h4>Data files:</h4> <ol> <li><strong>1F_iso</strong> and <strong>1f_burrow_occupany_transition_rain</strong> contain data used for analysing burrow dynamics from the field experiment</li> <li><strong>fe1_adult_data</strong> and <strong>FE1_embryo_area</strong> contain data used for analysing adult and offspring traits including assortative mating patterns from the field experiment</li> <li>p<strong>rmc_behav_expt, prmc_behav_agg, prmc_behav_agg_summ,</strong> and <strong>prmc_behav_agg_burr_resident_context_summ </strong>contain data used for analysing the behavioural experiment</li> </ol>
