Experimental results on the speed of escape for five species of calanoid copepod and multiple developmental stages in response to artificial hydrodynamic stimuli (PreyEscape project)

<p>This dataset includes the&nbsp;maximum speed of escape for five species of calanoid copepod&nbsp;and multiple developmental stages&nbsp;in response to&nbsp;an abrupt hydromechanical stimulus&nbsp;(moving sphere, suction).</p> <p><strong>These data were published in:</strong><br /> <br /> Buskey, E.J., Strickler, J.R., Bradley, C.J., Hartline, D.K. and Lenz, P.H., 2017.
