• The "species_ID" column contains unique standardized species names:

  • Capital letters in the beginning of the string refer to genus and higher ranks, while lower case letters indicate species names.

  • Numbers refer to either stage or length. character "t" means range (from Y to X, where Y and X are lengths in millimetres.).

  • Lower case strings "zoe", "meg", "naup", "calyp", "med", "pil", "vel", and "lar" are used for various larval forms.

  • Lower case "juv" is used for juveniles.
