<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>
