The scaling of metabolic traits differs among larvae and juvenile colonies of scleractinian corals

# Scaling of metabolic traits of larvae and juvenile scleractinian corals [https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.pk0p2ngx0](https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.pk0p2ngx0) ## Description of the datasets for Bean and Edmunds 2024 ([https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.246362)](https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.246362\)) **"Data_compilation_list.xlsx"** contains all the literature screened for relevance to include in the data compilation. **"Data_comp_data.xlsx"** is the data set containing all the compiled data from the data compilation. It includes "Source_resp" (i.e., where respiration rates were located), "n_resp" (i.e., number of larvae in each replicate for respiration rates), "Respiration_OG", "Respiration_OG_SE", and "Respiration_OG_units" which are the original respiration rates, standard error, and unit of measure of the respiration rates reported in the literature, "Source_energy" (i.e., the location where measures of biomass, protein, or lipids were found), "n_energy" (i.e., number of larvae in each replicate for the energy measure), "Biomass_ug.larva_dry" and "Biomass_ug.larva_dry_SE" which are the directly reported or estimated dry biomass and standard error of each larva in ug using the conversion assumptions in the "Biomass_assumptions" column. NA in the “Biomass_assumptions” column indicates not applicable because conversion assumptions were not needed. NA in the other columns indicates that these data were not taken and therefore are not available. **"larvae.xlsx"** is the data set containing respiration and protein/biomass measures of *Pocillopora acuta* larvae obtained in Moorea, French Polynesia. It includes the "Temp_C" (i.e., temperature (°C)), "Genotype" (i.e., the genotype of the parental colony), "ID" (i.e., the ID of the vial containing 6 larvae), "Category_size" (i.e., size category of the larvae), "Dark acclimation" (i.e., time at which dark acclimation began), "Start_Time" (i.e., time at which respiration trials began), "Dark acclimation_min" (i.e., minutes larvae were dark acclimated), "End_Time" (i.e., time at which respiration trials ended), "incubation_time.min" (i.e., number of minutes respiration trials went on for), "umol/vial/min" (i.e., respiration rate in units of umol/vial/min), "umol/larva/min" (i.e., respiration rate in units of umol/larva/min), "pikomol.larva.min" (i.e., respiration rate in units of pikomol.larva.min), "ug.protein.larva" (i.e., protein content per larva in ug), and "Dry_weight.mg" (i.e., dry weight in mg of each larva). **"R_wax_dipping.xlsx"** is the data set containing the wax dipping weights of juvenile *Pocillopora* and Porites corals used to determine the surface area of corals in the study. It includes the "max1.mm" (i.e., length of colony in mm), "max2.mm" (i.e., the width of the colony in mm), "height.mm" (i.e., the height of the colony in mm), "weight.g" (i.e., weight in grams before wax dipping), "dip1.g" (i.e., weight in grams after first dip in the wax), "dip2.g" (i.e., weight in grams after second dip in the wax), "dip2_change" (i.e., difference in weight between dip1.g and dip2.g in grams) and "SA.dip2.cm2" (i.e., surface area in cm^2 calculated from the dip2_change metric and the using calibration slope using standardized wooden dowels. NA in the notes column indicates “not applicable” because there was nothing to note. NA in the other columns indicates that these data were not taken and therefore are not available. **"R_juve_resp_size_2020.xlsx"** is the data set for juvenile corals collected in situ and measured 4 days later. It includes the "Dry_weight.g" (i.e., calculated dry weight of the whole coral in grams), "Max.mm" (i.e., length of the colony in mm), "Min.mm" (i.e., the width of the colony in mm), "Height.mm" (i.e., the height of the colony in mm), "micromol.coral.min" (i.e., respiration rate in micromol/coral/min), "std.error" (i.e., standard error of the respiration rate), and "p.value", "adj.r.squared", and "r.squared" are values for the respiration rate. **"environmental.xlsx"** is the data set for the environmental variables measured in the tanks of the light/dark experiment. It includes the "temp_C" (i.e., temperature (°C)), "light_PAR" (μmol photons m−2 s−1), and "flow_mL_min" (mL min-1). NA indicates that these data were not taken and therefore are not available. **"R_juve_resp_size_2021.xlsx"** is the data set for juvenile corals in the light/dark experiment. It includes the "est.dry.weight.mg" (i.e., calculated dry weight of the whole coral in mg), "Max.mm" (i.e., length of the colony in mm), "Min.mm" (i.e., the width of the colony in mm), "Height.mm" (i.e., the height of the colony in mm), "micromol.coral.min" (i.e., the respiration rate in micromol/coral/min), "std.error" (i.e., standard error of the respiration rate), "chamber" (i.e., the chamber used for respiration trials), and "p.value", "adj.r.squared", and "r.squared" are values for the respiration rate. **"symbionts_juveniles.xlsx"** is the data set containing the symbiont counts of juveniles in the light/dark experiment. It includes the "rep" (i.e., replication) and "counts" (i.e., symbiont counts). NA in the notes column indicates “not applicable” because there was nothing to note. **"R_juve_AFDW_2021.xlsx"** is the data set containing the biomass of juvenile corals in the light/dark experiment. It includes the "AFDW.whole.coral.ug" (i.e., ash-free dry weight of the whole coral in ug).
