Growth and fitness measures of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) of Physa acuta

We compared male fitness (male sterility, seminal vesicle area, and number of spermatozoa), female fitness (eggs production), growth rate (body mass and shell length), and whole body metabolism between the three mitotypes (D male-sterile individuals, N normal hermaphrodite, and K restored hermaphrodite) at two temperatures (18°C and 25°C)., , , # Growth and fitness measures of CMS *Physa acuta*

The data contains measurement of the following traits:

* male fitness (male status [sterile or fertile], number of spermatozoa and seminal vesicle area);
* female fitness (egg production); 
* growth rate (body mass and shell length); 
* whole body metabolism.

We compared all these traits between the three groups : mitotypes D (male-sterile), mitotype N (normal hermaphrodite) and mitotype K (restored hermaphrodite) at two temperatures : 18°C and 25°C.

## Description of the data and file structure

There are 6 data files (named \"**data_*xxxxx*.txt**\") and 1 R script (named \"**scripts_CMSxTemperature_Physa acuta**\").

##### More informations about the data files:

There are **empty cells** in some columns, which correspond to missing data, i.e., data that were not collected (e.g., the snail individual died before measurement).
