Data from: Copepod respiration increases by 7% per degree °C increase in temperature: a meta-analysis

Exponential increase in respiration rate with increasing temperature in
poikilotherms is well documented, however, the overall rate of change
varies greatly across copepod taxa. Studies often report magnitude of
change, but the rate of change in respiration across multiple temperatures
is equivocal. We used 32 studies spanning 78 years of research and 50
copepod species (three orders) to quantify percent increase in respiration
rates per one-unit increase in temperature. We found that copepod
respiration rates increased with temperature by 7% across three
well-studied orders, Calanoida, Cyclopoida, and Harpacticoida. Neither
food availability nor scaling respiration to copepod dry weight affected
the rate of change of respiration rates. Studies using Winkler titration
to measure oxygen consumption produced significantly larger percent
changes in respiration, whereas newer methods such as fiber optics
produced smaller effects. These results have far reaching implications,
suggesting that copepods can adapt to increasing temperatures brought
forth by climate change.
