Reproduction and survival data sets for Daphnia magna exposed to zinc during 21 days

Description

Reproduction and survival data sets of a chronic laboratory toxicity tests with Daphnia magna freshwater invertebrate exposed to four concentrations of zinc during 21 days. Four concentrations were tested with three replicates per concentration. Each replicate contained 20 organisms. Reproduction and survival were monitored at 15 time points.

Usage

data(zinc)

Format

A data frame with 180 observations on the following five variables:

replicate

A vector of class numeric with the replicate code (1 to 12).

conc

A vector of class numeric with zinc concentrations in mg.L^{-1}.

time

A vector of class integer with the time points (in days from the beginning of the experiment t = 0).

Nsurv

A vector of class integer with the number of alive individuals at each time point for each concentration and each replicate.

Nrepro

A vector of class integer with the number of offspring at each time point for each concentration and each replicate.
