Historical data for feeding, growth and life history in Pieris rapae

These datasets provide the original data for a series of laboratory and field studies, and associated research publications, with Pieris rapae from multiple populations in North America, between 2000 and 2013. These studies focus on thermal sensitivity of feeding, growth and life history traits in these populations. Details of the study site, methodology, and associated publications for each study are described in the associated document file., Details of the study site, methodology, and associated publications for each study are described in the associated document file: Kingsolver_OPUS_Pierisrapae_datasets_Jan2024.doc. The dataset for each study is provided as a separate MS .xls file., , # Kingsolver Pieris rapae data sets May 2024. For README.MD file
