mass_conv_indiv_measurements

The file titled "mass_conv_indiv_measurements" contains data on the size of tapeworm individuals from 8 species. Four species grow in the final host (G) whereas the remaining four do not (NG). Some of these worms were from the Liverpool museum and their reference number is given. Worms were either measured live or preserved in formalin or ethanol. The worms were collected from either the intermediate host as plerocercoids or from definitive hosts as adults. Length, width, and mass are listed for all worms. Depth was also recorded for some worms. Area was calculated by multiplying length and width.名为"mass_conv_indiv_measurements"的文件收录了8个物种的绦虫个体测量数据。其中4个物种寄生于终宿主（definitive host，简称G），剩余4个则不寄生于终宿主（NG）。部分绦虫样本源自利物浦博物馆，且标注了对应的馆藏编号。所有样本均通过两种方式完成测量：活体直接测量，或经福尔马林（formalin）、乙醇（ethanol）固定保存后测量。采样来源分为两类：一类是从中间宿主（intermediate host）体内采集的裂头蚴（plerocercoids），另一类是从终宿主体内采集的成虫。所有样本均记录了体长、体宽与体重三项指标；部分样本还额外记录了体深数据。体表面积通过体长与体宽的乘积计算得到。
