Kiwa_tyleri_Measurements .xlsx

This dataset contains morphological measurements of vent-endemic Yeti crabs (Kiwa tyleri) collected during laboratory experiments. Measurements include carapace length and width, merus segment lengths and heights, pleon width, branchial chambers length and rostrum dimensions for both male and female specimens. The data were used to analyze sex-specific growth patterns, reproductive investment, and adaptations to low-oxygen environments. Raw data are provided in CSV/XLSX format, with column headers describing each variable. This dataset can be used for comparative studies on deep-sea crustacean morphology, reproductive ecology, and growth analyses.
