The two tables contains the necessary data to replicate the study "Acute effects of copper exposure and predation risk in five coastal copepods".
In short, we tested for copper effects on survival in the presence and absence of kairomones (to mimic predation) in five species from three orders of coastal copepods. We exposed adult copepods to four copper concentrations (0-1350 µg/L, 48h) on an automated imaging platform and analyzed survival over time. The methods are described in detail in the publication
The following describes the contents of each column in each file.
