Data from: Differential effects of temperature on multiple components of fitness in a modular animal reveal how temperature affects reproductive capacity

The goal of this study was to assess and compare the relationships between temperature and different fitness components in a modular animal to reveal the mechanisms underlying TPC’s for fitness. We reared replicated clones of the marine bryozoan Bugula neritina across a thermal gradient ranging from 23°C to 32°C, which reflected the upper thermal range of seasonal variation in the field. TPCs were constructed for survival (measured as zooids states within a colony), growth rate, development to reproductive maturity, and reproductive capacity, and measured over the life span.Data of data collection: 2021-Jun-08 - 2021-Aug-15Geographic location of data collection: Dog Island, Florida, USAFile List:Calculate Realized Temperatures.RFigure 1.RFigure 2.RFigure 3.RFigure 4.RFigure 5.RFSUCML Temp.csvPhenotypic Data.csvOvicell Presence Over Time.csvTemperature Logger Data.csvTemperature Summary.csvRelationship between files:Calculate Realized Temperatures.R uses Temperature Logger Data.csvFigure 1.R uses FSUCML Temp.csvFigure 2.R uses Phenotypic Data.csvFigure 3.R uses Phenotypic Data.csvFigure 4.R uses Ovicell Presence Over Time.csv and Temperature Summary.csvFigure 5.R uses Ovicell Presence Over Time.csv and Temperature Summary.csvMetadata:FSUCML Temp.csvDate: Date (MM/DD/YYYY) when temperature was recorded by a loggerTemperature: Temperature (°C) recorded by handheld YSI Multi-parameter Sonde Time Taken: Time (Eastern Daylight Time) when temperature was recorded by a loggerPhenotypic Data.csvcolony: Unique identifier for each colonygenotype: Identifier for each source colony genotype fragment: Identifier for each fragment taken from a genotypetankID: Unique identifier for the tank that was used as a water bath for bowls of algae.
