Full data set

In this study, we raised crickets on four diets that differed in macronutrient availability: high lipid, high carb, high protein, and a control diet. For the first two weeks of our experiment, we collected weights, number of eggs laid, and survivorship. After two weeks, half of the crickets received an immune challenge while the others received a sham challenge. For the next week, we measured survivorship and egg-laying. Finally, we measured their lytic activity to examine the effect of diet and immune challenges.This is our full dataset, including the raw data as it was collected and any/all transformations that we completed prior to analysis. The attached Excel file has several sheets, which are briefly explained below:Weight: Shows the weight for each individual in the experiment, at the start of our experiment (roughly 1 week post-adult molt), week 1 of our experiment, week 2 of our experiment, and week 3 of our experiment (after the immune challenge). The individual's diet group is noted in the "Individual ID."EggCount: Shows the egg count for each individual in the experiment, at week 1 of our experiment, week 2 of our experiment, and week 3 of our experiment (after the immune challenge). The individual's diet group is noted in the "Individual ID."Survivorship: In columns A-C, shows the total number of days that each individual lived during our experiment (started approximately one week post-adult molt) and the number of days they lived after the immune challenge; in columns E-I, the data is converted to show what proportion of crickets in each diet treatment were alive on each day of the experiment (this converted data was used to produce Figure 5).Lytic Activity: Shows the individual ID (including diet group), immune challenge status, and calculated lytic activity for each individualAssay Wells: Shows the data from the plate reader, including absorbance readings for each cell at each minute of the lytic assay; below (in rows 73-92), it shows the layout of each plateDiet Macronutrient: Shows the compiled nutrition information for each component of the diets (high lipid, high protein, high carbohydrate, and control), as well as the calculations that we used to compile Tables 1 and 2
