Dataset: Effects of the presence of heterospecifics and simulated drying on life history and behavioral traits in newt larvae and juveniles

We tested predictions about life-history variation based on the differing thermal sensitivities of differentiation and growth rates. Using a mesocosm experiment, we exposed larvae of two sympatric newt species, Ichthyosaura alpestris and Lissotriton vulgaris, to combinations of a biotic factor (the presence of heterospecifics) and an abiotic factor (simulated drying). We examined the impact of multiple stressor combinations on larval life history traits and juvenile exploration. The dataset consists of five files.<br>

本研究基于分化速率与生长速率的热敏感性差异，对生活史变异的相关预测进行了验证。
本研究借助中型实验生态系统（mesocosm）实验，将两种同域分布蝾螈——阿尔卑斯蝾螈（Ichthyosaura alpestris）与普通欧螈（Lissotriton vulgaris）的幼体，暴露于生物因子（异种个体存在）与非生物因子（模拟干旱）的组合处理环境中。
我们探究了多重胁迫因子组合对蝾螈幼体生活史性状以及幼体探索行为的影响。
本数据集共包含5个数据文件。
