The primary contents of these files are compiled parameter estimates of the clearance, ingestion and growth rates of heterotrophic organisms. These have largely been taken from two published data compilations:

Kiørboe T, Hirst AG (2014) Shifts in mass scaling of respiration, feeding, and growth rates across life-form transitions in marine pelagic organisms. Am Nat 183(4):E118-30. https://doi.org/10.1086/675241

Uiterwaal SF, Lagerstrom IT, Lyon SR, DeLong JP (2018) Data paper: FoRAGE (Functional Responses from Around the Globe in all Ecosystems) database: a compilation of functional responses for consumers and parasitoids. bioRxiv doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/503334 

The data files are described in detail in 'Data description.txt'.
