Reproduction and survival data sets of chronic laboratory toxicity tests with Daphnia magna freshwater invertebrate exposed to five concentrations of cadmium during 21 days. Five concentrations were tested, with four replicates per concentration. Each replicate contained 10 organisms. Reproduction and survival were monitored at 10 time points.
data(cadmium1)
A data frame with 200 observations of the following five variables:
replicate
A vector of class numeric
with
the replicate code (1
to 20
).
conc
A vector of
class numeric
with the cadmium concentrations in \(\mu g.L^{-1}\).
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.
