Data from: Drivers of eyespot evolution in coral reef fishes

This dataset contains three separate spreadsheets detailing categorical data about eyespots on coral reef fishes. The largest spreadsheet contains presence/absence data of eyespots across 2664 species of reef fish. The second spreadsheet contains categorical data that relates the location of an eyespot to a fishes ecology. It contains one column which lists the location of the eyespot (anterior or posterior) and the ecology of the fish species (active swimming or cryptobenthic). The third spreadsheet contains categorical data relating the feeding ecology of damselfish species to eyespot presence. For each species present in the dataset, there is a column that contains the presence/absence of an eyespot for that species (yes/no) and whether the species is a planktivore or not (plank/other).
