Sex-specific survival of the calanoid marine copepod Acartia tonsa under combined exposure to hypoxia and marine heatwave events

Specimens of the marine calanoid copepod Acartia tonsa were exposed for five days under laboratory conditions to the isolated or combined effects of hypoxia and a marine heatwave event to test for their sex-specific life-history and physiological responses to these stressors. Four treatments were used: Control (C: 18 °C, 100 % O₂ sat.), Hypoxia (H: 18 °C, 35 % O₂ sat.), marine heatwave (MHW: 25 °C, 100 % O₂ sat.) and combined conditions (HMHW: 25 °C, 35 % O₂ sat.). This dataset compiles the survival data, expressed in terms of percentage and as the number of individuals at the beginning and end of exposure, for males and females, following the five-day exposure experiment.
