Antarctic marine invertebrate toxicity data compiled for a statistical methods study in 2018. The record contains a subset of four existing datasets on amphipod, copepod, gastropod, and ostracod species, used to compare NEC and LCx estimates for copper. It was compiled by Abigael Proctor as part of her PhD research.
Use Cases
- Benchmarking new statistical methods for NEC estimation based on toxicity data.
- Comparing NEC and LCx estimates for copper across different species.
- Analyzing the sensitivity of Antarctic marine invertebrates to metal toxicity.
Strengths
- Data is compiled from four existing, named datasets (AAS_2933_Orchomenella_pinguides_Sensitivity_metals_Davis_2010-11, etc.).
- Specifically used to showcase a new statistical method for determining NEC.
- Associated with a documented PhD research study conducted in 2018.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
