Effects of low-dose ionising radiation on reproduction and DNA damage in marine and freshwater amphipod crustaceans

Data comprise results of laboratory experiments assessing the impacts of beta radiation (phosphorus-32) on reproduction, development and DNA damage in a marine and freshwater crustacean species. All crustacean samples were collected either from Lock Lake, Portsmouth (marine crustacean Echinogammarus marinus) or from the River Ems, Emsworth (freshwater crustacean, Gammarus pulex). Laboratory experiments were conducted periodically from summer 2015 to autumn 2016 at the University of Portsmouth. The data are of use in elucidating the mechanisms and effects of low-dose ionising radiation on an important group of model organisms in radioecology.

本数据集包含了实验室实验的结果，旨在评估β射线（磷-32）对海洋及淡水甲壳类生物物种的繁殖、发育和DNA损伤的影响。所有甲壳类样本均采集自波特兰的Lock Lake（海洋甲壳类Echinogammarus marinus）或艾姆斯河的Emsworth（淡水甲壳类Gammarus pulex）。实验于2015年夏季至2016年秋季在朴次茅斯大学定期进行。这些数据有助于阐明低剂量电离辐射对放射性生态学中一组重要模型生物的机制和效应。关于此数据集的详细信息，可在以下链接中找到：https://doi.org/10.5285/b70afb8f-0a2b-40e6-aecc-ce484256bbfb
