Individual respiration rate measurements for developmental stages of Acartia tonsa during temperature experiments with copepods collected from eastern Long Island Sound in July of 2021

The data contain individual respiration rate measurements for developmental stages of Acartia tonsa, collected from eastern Long Island Sound in July 2021. Individuals were exposed to either ambient or increased temperature as nauplii, and then tracked through development. At each developmental stage, respiration rate was measured for the individual using a PreSens respirometer. High resolution data on individual respiration rates through development are crucial for understanding how climate change may impact ecological and biogeochemical dynamics in aquatic systems. Data were collected by Mathew Holmes-Hackerd and Dr. Matthew Sasaki at the University of Connecticut.
