Limited capacity for rapid acclimation to marine heatwaves in coastal invertebrates

This dataset contains experimental data from a study investigating the effects of simulated marine heatwave conditions on coastal invertebrates. The data include measurements from controlled laboratory experiments in which individuals were exposed to different temperature treatments. The dataset comprises information on species identity (including common and scientific names), collection details, experimental treatments, tank assignments, and sample sizes. It also includes detailed temperature records throughout the experiment, including ramping phases and daily temperature measurements, as well as sampling dates and times. Additional metadata describe experimental conditions such as holding temperatures and tank characteristics. These data support analyses of organismal responses to elevated temperature conditions associated with marine heatwaves.
