Description

This dataset is from an experiment where larvae were left to feed on Eucalyptus leaves, in a glasshouse that was controlled at two different levels of temperature and CO$_2$ concentration. After the larvae pupated (that is, turned into pupae), the body weight was measured, as well as the cumulative 'frass' (larvae excrement) over the entire time it took to pupate.

Usage

Format

T_treatment

integer Temperature treatments ('ambient' and 'elevated')

CO2_treatment

integer CO$_2$ treatment (280 or 400 ppm).

Gender

integer The gender of the pupae : 0 (male), 1 (female)

PupalWeight

double Weight of the pupae ($g$)

Frass

double Frass produced ($g$)
