This table contains the results of experimental size manipulation in Hydra oligactis. The following variables are included:<br>#Plate_number: size manipulation set containing four individuals#Sex: either C2/7 (male strain) or X11/14 (female strain)#Exp_group: one of "enlarged", "reduced", "ctrl1" or "ctrl2". Enlarged and reduced form a pair of size manipulated individuals while ctrl1 and ctrl2 form a pair of control individuals.#pre_area: area of body column prior to experimental treatment in square mm#post_area: area of body column after experimental treatment in square mm#Gonads: Maximum no. testes in males or total no. eggs in females#Cooling_date: when the set was moved from 18 to 8 degrees Celsius. This is exactly one day post-manipulation#Start_date: The date when the first gonads were detected#Fate: one of: "fail"-grafting unsuccesful, died shortly after cooling, was sex-changed or host/graft remained asexual; "dead"-disappeared during the experiment or was fully necrotic by the end of the experiment; "regenerated"-regenerated and reverted to asexual reproduction following sex<br>
