Ectotherm Physiology and Ocean Environmental Data for Climate Response Modeling

Physiology data and environmental layers support a study on how oxygen availability and body mass regulate ectotherm responses to ocean warming. The dataset includes raw respirometry data, associated metadata, and R scripts for analysis from a Nature Communications publication by Murray I. Duncan of Stanford University. Environmental layers contain current and projected monthly bottom ocean data for oxygen, salinity, and temperature.

Use Cases

• Modeling ectotherm physiological responses to warming based on respirometry data.
• Projecting species distribution changes based on environmental layers for oxygen, salinity, and temperature.
• Quantifying physiological metrics from experimental data using the provided R script.
• Analyzing the interaction between body mass, oxygen availability, and thermal tolerance.

Strengths

• Includes raw experimental respirometry data and the scripts used to process it.
• Contains both current and future projected environmental layers for distribution modeling.
• Data is directly linked to a peer-reviewed publication in Nature Communications.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
