Ghedini, White & Marshall (2018) Metabolic scaling across succession: do individual rates predict community-level energy use? Functional Ecology

A series of data on the species composition of sessile invertebrate communities at different successional stages, community total mass and metabolism. In addition, there are species-specific metabolic rates, area-mass relationships, body size distributions and abundance for the three dominant species in the community (Pyura, tubeworms and Watersipora) which we used to estimate overall community metabolism.

本数据集收录了不同演替阶段固着无脊椎动物群落的物种组成、群落总生物量及新陈代谢相关数据。此外，数据集还涵盖了该群落3个优势种——海鞘属（Pyura）、管蠕虫（tubeworms）和膜孔苔虫属（Watersipora）的物种特异性代谢速率、面积-质量关系、体型分布与种群丰度数据，上述数据被用于估算群落整体新陈代谢水平。
