Dataset: Respiration chamber images and R-code for analysis of size measurements and derived respiration rates from experiments conducted at Hopkins Marine Station in 2013 (Experiments in a Model Ecosystem project)

This dataset provides links to images of the respiration chamber used in the other datasets for this project and also an example of the R-code used to analyze the limpet mass and body volume data.

Growth data for animals on experimental plates in the field during 2013 was collected monthly via digital photographs and measured using ImageJ software. Respiration of limpets collected from the field during summer 2013 was measured in air or seawater at a range of temperatures for one hour or two hours.
