Data for 'Warming and predation risk only weakly shape size-mediated priority effects in a cannibalistic damselfly'

In a laboratory experiment, we studied effects of warming (low and high temperature) and predation risk (presence and absence of predator cues of perch) on SMPE in life history and physiological traits in the cannibalistic damselfly Ischnura elegans. We induced SMPE by manipulating hatching dates, thereby creating four groups: non-mixed phenology early (E) and late (L) hatchlings, and mixed phenology early (E+L) and late (L+E) hatchlings.

This data set includes:

hatch date

emergence date

survival until emergence and emergence success data

mass of adult insects

development time (from hatching to emergence, in days)

growth rate (mass of adult insect/development time in days)

protein content (μg of protein/μl of prepared homogenate)

fat content (μg of fat/μl of prepared homogenate)

phenoloxidase activity (PO, value of activity curve slope)

PO activity/protein (value of activity curve slope/(μg of protein/μl of prepared homogenate)
