However, only a small fraction of seagrass production is directly consumed, and instead much of the secondary production is fueled by the detrital food web. Here, we study the roles of plant genetic diversity and grazer species diversity on detrital consumption in California eelgrass Zostera marina meadows. We used three common mesograzers\\u2014an amphipod, Ampithoe lacertosa, an isopod, Idotea resecata, and a polychaete, Platynereis bicanaliculata. In a series of five independent experiments, we manipulated grazer species diversity and number of eelgrass clones and measured the resulting detrital consumption. Under monospecific grazer assemblages, plant genetic identity but not diversity influenced detritus consumption. However, more realistic, diverse mesoconsumer communities combined with high plant-detrital genotypic diversity resulted in greater consumption and grazer survival. These data are illustrated in figures 4 and 5 Reynolds et al., 2017 (DOI:10.1111/oik.04471).\n\ncdm_data_type = Other\nVARIABLES:\nConsumer (unitless)\nNumber_of_genotypes (unitless)\nFeeding_rate_mg_day (milligrams per day)\nexperiment (unitless)\n https://erddap.bco-dmo.org/erddap/metadata/iso19115/xml/bcodmo_dataset_715422_iso19115.xml https://erddap.bco-dmo.org/erddap/info/bcodmo_dataset_715422/index.htmlTable https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/715422 (external link) https://erddap.bco-dmo.org/erddap/rss/bcodmo_dataset_715422.rss https://erddap.bco-dmo.org/erddap/subscriptions/add.html?datasetID=bcodmo_dataset_715422&showErrors=false&email= BCO-DMO bcodmo_dataset_715422
