Abstract

Copepods with short generation times experience seasonal environmental variation across, rather than within, generations. This data includes body size measurements for both male and female individuals from seasonal collections of Acartia tonsa from Eastern Long Island Sound in Summer and Fall 2019. The body size measurements in this dataset were made during a common garden split-brood experiment with the 2019 collections, after several generations of common garden acclimation. The observed vari...

Copepods were measured using an inverted compound microscope and attached digital camera. Body lengths were then measured using ImageJ.

Note: Duplicate rows in this dataset table are real measurements of separate individuals.
