Foster_etal_2015_heredity_eggcortisol_Figure4

The file “Foster_etal_2015_heredity_eggcortisol_Figure4” contains the data portrayed in Figure 4. This figure shows cortisol concentrations of 4 successive clutches extruded from female threespine stickleback. Females were either stripped of their clutches at the time of ovulation (short retention treatment) or 24 hours post-ovulation (prolonged egg retention). This file has the following 5 columns of data: clutchnumber – this indicates the sequence number of the clutch extruded from the fish retentiontreatment – this indicates whether the clutch was stripped from the female at the time of ovulation (short egg retention) or 24 hours post ovulation (prolonged egg retention). population – female stickleback from two Alaskan populations were studied, both are freshwater lakes – Lynne Lake and Willow Lake. clutchmass – clutch mass in grams cortisol (ln pg per g clutch mass) – this indicated the natural log transformed cortisol concentration of each clutch, given is picogram per gram of clutch mass
